Shangguan Yi looked down at An Lin with an expression of shock on her face. “Mr. An Lin, aren’t you going to lend a hand?”

An Lin rolled his eyes at Shangguan Yi. “Can’t you see I’m busy?”

Shangguan Yi: “…”

She was just about to say something, but she suddenly caught a whiff of an extremely alluring scent when she was around a thousand feet away from An Lin. The scent was nothing short of heavenly, and her stomach instantly began to growl even though she wasn’t even hungry a moment ago.

She turned her shocked gaze upon the meat in the frying pan and immediately swallowed the words that she was about to utter.

Shangguan Yi descended from the sky and landed lightly beside An Lin. “Mr. Mo Hai, I’ll have to trouble you to distract the birds for ten seconds for me then!”

Mo Hai could only brace himself with a resigned smile as he stood in front of An Lin and Shangguan Yi with a circular golden disc in his hands.

The circular disc was the mystic treasure of the sect, the Divine Phoenix Disc. The disc could draw on the power of the Divine Phoenix to unleash an extremely powerful offensive and defensive formation which could keep even a heavenly fire mutant beast at bay.

The mystic treasure was extremely powerful, but it could only be used once, so Mo Hai was very reluctant to bring it out.

An Lin also brought out his two Gundams from his storage ring. “Mr. Mo Hai, I’ll assign you two helpers; they’ll be as useful as at least four Ji Yongfang!”

Shangguan Yi was in the process of reciting a mantra, and she almost forgot the words after hearing An Lin’s yell.

Mo Hai’s chest constricted with an exasperated expression. “Bro, just how much of a vendetta do you have against Ji Yongfang? He’s not even here but you’re still belittling him…”

“I’m not belittling him, I’m just telling the truth,” An Lin replied lightly.

Mo Hai: “…”

At this moment, the army of thousands of Flying Flame Birds was already upon him, and they rammed directly toward him with devastating power.

“Divine Phoenix Disc, True Spirit Defensive Formation!”

Golden light burst forth from Mo Hai’s crimson eyes as he activated the Divine Phoenix Disc.

The defensive formation required significantly less energy to maintain than the offensive formation. These were all Shangguan Yi’s prey anyway, so he didn’t intend to use the offensive formation.

The cry of a phoenix erupted between heaven and earth, and a huge barrier of golden light rose up from the ground, encapsulating an area with a radius of over a thousand feet around Mo Hai.

Boom!

The army of Flying Flame Birds crashed into the barrier with a series of resounding booms.

A wave of flames extended around the barrier for over a thousand meters, melting the ground below into molten and reducing all living beings to ashes with its devastating heat.

Countless ancient symbols surfaced on the golden defensive formation as an insane amount of power poured forth from within, keeping the army of Flying Flame Birds at bay.

At the same time, Shangguan Yi’s longsword began to float before her as she uttered a series of mantras, which immediately significantly lowered the temperatures around her, causing ice and snow to materialize in the air.

An Lin was almost enraged to the point of tears. He had just finished cooking the tiger meat, but the meat was now frozen solid, what the hell was her problem?!

Shangguan Yi stepped lightly on the ground, and the image of a snowflake exuding a brilliant blue light began to take shape before expanding outward, creating a huge formation of a few kilometers in radius which instantly ensnared all the Flying Flame Birds within!

“Frosty Heavens Sword Formation, vanquish!”

Shangguan Yi’s cold voice sounded, and her longsword transformed into a streak of blue light which flew into the air.

Boom!

The power of extreme frost burst forth from the massive snowflake formation, freezing all the Flying Flame Birds solid for an instant.

The six-winged heavenly fire mutant bird stared at the blue sword in the sky with a cautious expression.

A crisp ringing burst forth from the blue sword, and it began to multiply from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand…

Thousands of ice swords exuding the power of extreme frost hovered in the air above the massive snowflake formation. All the swords descended from the sky with overwhelming killing intent before sweeping through the army of Flying Flame Birds.

The clash between snow and ice erupted at this moment.

The scorching flames of the Flying Flame Birds clashed with the ice swords, resulting in a series of resounding booms.

Some of the Flying Flame Birds were frozen solid and slashed into pieces, while some of the ice swords melted upon making contact with the scorching flames of the Flying Flame Birds.

With each flap of its wings, the most powerful six-winged Flying Flame Bird materialized hundreds of powerful flaming wing projections, which then flew toward the ice swords before reducing them into clouds of vapor.

The number of ice swords began to drastically decrease, but right at this moment, the massive snowflake formation on the ground glowed with a brilliant light and instantly materialized another thousand ice swords…

The power of the snowflake formation ensured that there was a practically limitless supply of ice swords constantly at the ready!

The carcasses of Flying Flame Birds fell to the ground like crimson rain and more than half of them had been slain in just a few short seconds.

The six-winged Flying Flame Bird immediately spread its wings to conjure up a flaming cyclone as it tried to escape.

Shangguan Yi focused her gaze on the six-winged Flying Flame Birds, and the snowflake formation suddenly began to constrict and the boundless power of extreme frost within materialized a gigantic ice sword of over a thousand feet.

This giant ice sword was her true finishing technique!

It pierced through the air as it flew toward the six-winged Flying Flame Bird at lightning pace. The translucent surface of the sword reflected the crimson glow of the six-winged Flying Flame Bird’s flames and the devastating power of extreme frost imbued within the sword had the six-winged Flying Flame Bird trembling with fear.

It immediately unleashed a wall of heavenly flames behind it to buy itself sufficient time to escape.

However, the wall of heavenly flames was instantly slashed in half by a flash of blue light.

Two seconds later, the gigantic ice sword glowed brightly as it descended upon the six-winged Flying Flame Bird with unstoppable force!

Rip…

The six-winged Flying Flame Bird was chopped in half, and its blood descended from the sky in a shower of flames, which were then frozen solid by the fearsome power of extreme frost in the air before finally crashing to the ground.

Thus, the entire army of Flying Flame Birds had been completely exterminated by her sword formation!

Mo Hai looked up at the scenes of carnage around him and sighed with admiration. “What a powerful sword technique. From the criteria of offensive firepower alone, Shangguan Yi is truly the most powerful cultivator of the young generation.”

He stowed away his Divine Phoenix Disc before turning to face An Lin, where he was greeted by the sight of two peculiar silver mechanical puppets looking around themselves, seemingly at a complete loss for what to do.

Mo Hai’s lips twitched at the sight of the mechanical puppets. “You mean to tell me… that these two could fight on par with four Ji Yongfang?”

An Lin glanced at Mo Hai expressionlessly. “What did you expect? You used your finishing technique too early and didn’t give my Gundams a chance to show you their skills!”

Mo Hai’s eyes widened in shock. He didn’t expect An Lin to be able to pin the blame on him instead. “I’ve never seen such a shameless person!”

A longsword flew through the air, carrying with it the projection of a golden flame wing.

Shangguan Yi’s body swayed slightly from exhaustion, and all the blood had drained from her delicate features, but a rare smile still appeared on her face as she caught sight of the flame wing projection.

This flame wing projection was golden, which meant that it was a high-grade projection of the Vermillion Bird Flame Wing.

Mo Hai glanced at the flame wing in Shangguan Yi’s hands with an envious expression. That was what he was searching for as well.

The flame wing couldn’t be stored into a storage ring, so Shangguan Yi clasped it to her chest before bowing to express her gratitude. “Thank you for your help, Mo Hai, An Lin. Please accept all the projections of the Vermillion Bird Flame Wing in the air as my expression of gratitude.”

Mo Hai and An Lin looked up into the air to find that there were over a hundred inferior-grade projections of the Vermillion Bird Flame Wing. These were all left behind by the spirit fire mutant beasts within the army of Flying Flame Birds, and for what it lacked in quality, it more than made up for it through sheer quantity.

“Mr. Mo Hai, you did much more than me so you can have my part as well,” An Lin said nonchalantly.

Mo Hai rolled his eyes. “Do you expect me to thank you?”

“No, no, there’s no need for gratitude, but you should hurry and absorb them all before they float away.” An Lin smiled as he snuffed out his Divine Flame. His tiger meat dish was officially completed!

An Lin raised his head to find Shangguan Yi staring intently at the meat in his frying pan, so he made a welcoming gesture to her. “Ms. Shangguan Yi, would you like to like to have some meat to replenish your energy?”

Shangguan Yi’s initial reaction was to reject his offer, but her legs began to step forward of their own accord.

The aroma wafting in the air from the frying pan was simply too delicious to resist.

“What meat is this? It smells quite unique.”

Shangguan Yi stared at the sumptuous meat in the frying pan with curiosity written all over her porcelain-like features.

“It’s just the flesh of a White Flame Tiger. It smells good because of my godlike cooking skills!” An Lin replied with a triumphant smile, “Ms. Shangguan Yi, would you like to have some?”

Shangguan Yi had intended to reject his offer yet again, but her head wasn’t listening to her either as it nodded of its own accord. “I would like some!”

A delighted smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “There are about three hundred slices of meat in this frying pan, I would normally sell this dish for around a hundred thousand spirit stones at market price, which equates to around three hundred spirit stones per slice. How many slices would you like, Ms. Shangguan Yi?”

Shangguan Yi’s eyes widened in shock.

Mo Hai had just returned after absorbing the flame wings in the air, and he almost fell over after hearing An Lin’s words. “Holy f*ck! Mr. An Lin, three hundred spirit stones a slice? Is this a f*cking robbery?!”

“Shut up if you still want your one hundred slices of meat!” An Lin glared at Mo Hai.

Mo Hai immediately shut his mouth like an obedient dog.

A smile appeared on Shangguan Yi’s face. “Alright, I’ll take two hundred slices!”

An Lin: “…”

Mo Hai: “…”
