Chapter 1627: Might be an opportunity
Feng Xiao who was at the corner was also being stared at by the ghosts. However, his Yang energy was too strong so that only a few of the ghosts with dense Yin energy swept forward but didn’t dare to get close.
Fire Phoenix, perching on Feng Xiao’s shoulder, released its mighty pressure. With these two factors combined, Fire Phoenix’s powerful ancient breath as well as Feng Xiao’s Yang energy, was a huge deterrence and those ghosts didn’t have the courage to step forward.
There was yet another reason. As the current ruler of the Phoenix Empire, he had an imposing air all over his body. Except for a few extremely fierce ghosts, ordinary little demons had no courage to offend him at all.
Seeing the ghosts surrounded that sleeping man, afraid to step forward, several loose cultivators on the second floor stared in amazement. “Who is that person? Those ghosts fear him.”
Surprise flashed in that old man’s eyes as if not expecting to see such a scene. At first, the old man thought Feng Xiao’s strength was average. Now, it seemed that he underestimated him.
As those ghosts had no way to seize Feng Xiao, the loose cultivators possessed by the ghosts lifted their swords and chopped at him.
Seeing this, Fire Phoenix woke Feng Xiao up. Just right after it spoke out, Feng Xiao opened his eyes, pulled the sword at his waist and blocked the loose cultivators’ attack.
“Clang!”
“Whoos.h.!.+”
He stood up suddenly. An imposing aura coming from a Martial Sacred’s breath and mighty pressure emanated from him. It was strong and powerful, accompanied by the grandeur of a king who had been in power for a long period of time. He stared at them with the look of a predator, making people scared.
Before becoming the Phoenix Empire’s country ruler, he was the protector of the country, a general. His fighting power was amazing and his imposing aura was even more impressive. Now that his battle intent was kindled, the breath in the second floor’s air fluctuated.
When the other people saw this, their eyes contracted. Wasn’t this man a mystical energy cultivator? How could he possess such vigour?
The old man stepped back and watched silently. Looking at the current situation, it was unexpected that there was only one among all the inn’s guests.
“Ahhhhh…”
The sharp sword chopped at people without mercy. A fierce and frightening vigour was pervasive in the air. The clang of swords, as well as the ghosts’ miserable howls, were piercing people’s ears…
A sudden gale blew and made the inn shattered to pieces. The fierce gale and the airflow brought the roof down. Several pillars supporting the inn were cut off by the swords during the battle. With a loud rumble, the whole inn instantly collapsed and turned into rubble.
At the same moment, several figures flew out of the ruins. As they came out of the collapsed inn, they stood in midair.
When Feng Xiao, who was standing in midair, saw the scene outside the inn, his expression turned grave. As far as his eyes could see, there were only ghosts. The whole mountain was filled with an eerie atmosphere. The ghosts’ constant howls were very terrifying.
“It’s really the land of ghosts…” He whispered with a frown. He had no intention of getting involved in these things, but the current situation seemed to be beyond his control.
“Now that we’re here, let’s have a shot at it! Isn’t that primordial spirit fruit a good thing? Let’s go and pick one, too. Join in the fun!” Fire Phoenix stared ahead with interest. Since they couldn’t avoid it, they might as well go with the flow and grab the fruit.
“Well, since we can’t evade it, let’s grab one, then!” He was just pa.s.sing by, but he was directed to this place. Now, this danger presented an opportunity.
