Chu Feng looked forward to the good idea Zhong Yang had mentioned.
However, it seemed the man was being a bit secretive, as if he were waiting for something.
"You aren't lying to me, are you?" Chu Feng asked.
"How could I be that kind of person? It's just that with only the two of us, our strength isn't enough," Zhong Yang hesitated slightly.
Ah Yin rushed over at that moment. "Master, why are you with this demon?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's fine, he's one of us," Chu Feng said... Bibi Dong, however, was unreasonable and launched an attack directly at Zhong Yang. Chu Feng did not join this battle, choosing instead to watch from the sidelines.
The two of them certainly weren't enemies; there was no way the Lord of Tianyun City and this Demon Sovereign could have any major conflict.
Chu Feng just wanted to see exactly how powerful these two were.
When all those monsters were present earlier, Zhong Yang hadn't revealed any spiritual energy at all, showing complete mastery over his aura.
The two began to trade blows. The massive energy generated caused the entire swamp environment to collapse completely. Chu Feng retracted his barrier, and the swamp mud poured down like a waterfall.
Yet, there wasn't a single wet mark on either of them. Bibi Dong simply summoned six spiritual bodies; they were like the afterimages Chu Feng had used before, attached behind his physical body, invisibly repelling all the filth.
An evil smile played on Zhong Yang's lips. "It's been ten years. I didn't expect your strength to have improved so much. Brother Bai, let me test your cultivation!"
These were Demonic Spirit Bodies! And there were four of them!
This kind of spiritual body only existed in the Demon Realm. Furthermore, they had no upper limit, only a lower one; their power depended entirely on the user's cultivation. It was truly difficult to say whether they or the Heavenly Spirit Body were superior.
To be able to admire a battle between the top experts of the Human Realm, Chu Feng considered himself lucky to witness such a feast for the eyes, and he might even be able to steal a few techniques.
As for Ah Yin, his fur stood straight up upon seeing this display. In his nearly hundred years of cultivation in the mountains and forests, he had never imagined he would one day see such formidable power.
This was a terrifying force that exceeded Chu Feng's by several times.
In the clash between six spiritual bodies and four, any monster in the swamp that so much as glanced their way was instantly reduced to a pile of debris.
Aside from the whistling sounds of the techniques, the air was so silent it felt suffocating.
Zhong Yang spread his arms straight out with his palms facing upward. With the enhancement of the four spiritual bodies, a ball of black flame ignited in his hands, displaying four layers of outer fire that illuminated his entire body.
This was likely the brightest moment this land of evil energy had ever seen.
The flames in his palms transformed into countless fireballs that smashed toward Bibi Dong. Even from hundreds of meters away, Chu Feng felt the heat, and sweat poured from Ah Yin's brow.
Ah Yin whispered, "Are you sure you want to let them keep fighting?"
Chu Feng said excitedly, "Don't worry, these two definitely won't kill each other."
This was only the beginning, yet the outburst was already like this; he wondered what would happen next.
The fireballs became more numerous and dense. Even if Bibi Dong dodged them, the fireballs could melt stones just by brushing against them.
"Still using such old-fashioned tactics. However, I won't show weakness. Let me show you the move I've been practicing hard: Mysterious Phoenix Spirit Possession."
Bibi Dong was finally willing to use a respectable technique. A massive, golden-colored Mysterious Phoenix bird manifested from a wisp of spiritual energy emerging from his spiritual body and took flight. This bird was the same one from the eighteen beast souls earlier.
Ah Yin watched in surprise. "This guy can actually achieve perfect harmony between human and beast. That bird behind Bibi Dong has a full twenty-one beast souls. It's unbelievable."
Although beast souls could usually only be attached to spirit beasts, it didn't mean a human couldn't house a beast within their spiritual body, especially since a Heavenly Spirit Body naturally possessed such potential.
Considering the Ten-Thousand-Mile Orb World Bibi Dong had created before, this was quite normal.
The golden Mysterious Phoenix circled in the sky!
It swallowed every single incoming fireball. Despite the intense heat and the powerful demonic energy they carried, the bird remained completely unaffected.
As it devoured more and more, the veins on Bibi Dong's body began to bulge, turning a fiery red color as his muscles became more robust.
The clothes on his body began to burst, revealing a perfect upper physique marked with several scars. To leave indelible scars on a person like this, the opponents Bibi Dong had faced were beyond imagination.
Zhong Yang slowly brought his hands together and crossed them, palms down then slowly rising, as a giant red blade began to manifest.
"My Blood-Sucking Demon Blade has not appeared for a thousand years. Today, I'll let you see its power." Zhong Yang was getting serious now, his fighting spirit overflowing.
Both of their figures were already tall and mighty, but this blade was even taller than a man. The red and black color scheme of this meteoric iron greatsword was overshadowed by the massive amount of demonic energy covering it, which became its primary adornment.
Zhong Yang pulled the blade out as if it were embedded in a seal. The air pressure caused by the brief moment of unsheathing created cracks in the ground.
Zhong Yang gripped the sword with both hands and roared, "Take this!"
The already shaky surroundings vibrated even more violently, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting.
Bibi Dong manifested a longsword from his sleeve. This wasn't a physical weapon but one refined solely through his spiritual bodies. Of course, it was still inferior compared to Chu Feng's treasure refining.
Chu Feng didn't fail to notice this. Bibi Dong was using nearly three spiritual bodies to empower the sword; it seemed he was struggling slightly.
Blade and sword clashed head-on!
Friction!
Intensity!
Explosion!
A battle of exquisite artistry.
If they didn't stop, this Celestial Prison would likely break apart on its own. Chu Feng shouted, "You can stop now!"
But how could the two, currently in the heat of the moment, give up such a great opportunity for a duel?
Chu Feng's interference backfired, and the two began to fight even more fiercely.
Zhong Yang actually detached the four demonic spirit bodies from his physical form and infused them directly into the giant blade. Such a ruthless move suggested he intended to exhaust his entire cultivation.
Ah Yin was a bit panicked. "If this continues, I'm afraid the entire Celestial Prison will be gone."
"Don't worry, I'm here too."
A panda? That damn panda who had been missing for half a month was actually alive.
Chu Feng had almost forgotten about it, only remembering that it had been snatched away by a group of people at the Sword Sect.
Its reappearance now certainly didn't bode well.
The voice of this damn cat sounded somewhat mature, and its entire body had changed from its original tubbiness to a robust build.
What shocked Chu Feng even more was...
The panda seemed to have nearly five hundred years of cultivation power. How was this possible? Before, it couldn't even compare to one of Ah Yin's fingers.
It was now floating above Zhong Yang, with a slight smile. "Let me fight you guys."
Chu Feng wanted to see what real skills it had to stop this duel between experts. The result was...
The panda curled into a ball and rolled rapidly through the air, heading straight toward the two of them.
Zhong Yang shouldered the demonic blade directly over his head.
