Rumbling sounds echoed continuously as the Xuan Tortoise, enduring numerous fireballs, relentlessly charged forward.
The Fire Phoenix beneath Moon Fairy let out a long cry, its wings beating wildly, every crimson-gold feather standing on end, transforming into streaks of light descending from the sky, slamming fiercely into the Xuan Tortoise.
The Xuan Tortoise possessed astonishing defense, but after taking these attacks, its aura was significantly scattered, the icy mist around it dimmed, and many wounds appeared on its flesh.
Fortunately, its recovery was strong, these were only minor injuries, not affecting its foundation.
As the Xuan Tortoise was about to collide with the Fire Phoenix, the Fire Phoenix spread its wings, shifting twenty or thirty yards to the side.
Its speed was too great for the Xuan Tortoise to follow, causing it to crash into empty space, inflicting no substantial damage.
But immediately after, behind the ice ball formed by the Xuan Tortoise, a layer of ice mist had risen unnoticed, and with a flash of black light, a two-headed serpent rapidly darted out.
It instantly wrapped around a good portion of the Fire Phoenix's body, the Fire Phoenix struggling desperately, and faintly visible, a bronze halberd pierced through the Fire Phoenix, pinning it in mid-air.
Moon Fairy revealed a hint of surprise, her expression darkening as she manipulated a hand seal, about to cast some spell.
A surge of chilling energy came from her side, and a black ice spike several yards long suddenly struck.
Moon Fairy quickly raised a hand, a green jade tablet blocking in front of her, conjuring a thick green light barrier.
The ice spike struck it, only producing a sound, failing to break through the light barrier.
As a result, the ice spike directly shattered, turning into a cloud of black ice mist.
The Fire Phoenix's body stiffened, covered with a layer of frost, frozen into an ice sculpture in the air.
Finally, the Xuan Tortoise arrived last but struck first, the sound of cracking ice resounding as it directly smashed the Fire Phoenix into countless ice fragments.
As for Moon Fairy, her figure, enveloped in a blaze of fire, flew a great distance upwards, dodging this attack.
Although it did not cause any damage to this woman, Zhang Ling was delighted to have eliminated her transformed Fire Phoenix.
But before he could rejoice, Moon Fairy, with a cold face, slightly trembled the fire cauldron in her hand.
Those shattered ice pieces lit up with crimson-gold spiritual light, and in the blink of an eye, the ice melted, turning into streams of crimson smoke, re-integrating into the fire cauldron, and a Fire Phoenix reappeared.
Identical to the previous Fire Phoenix, only its size was slightly smaller.
The Fire Phoenix spread its wings and arrived above the Xuan Tortoise, also crashing towards the Xuan Tortoise.
Strangely, the impact force was not very strong, the Fire Phoenix directly passed over the Xuan Tortoise's body, only emitting a muffled sound like a bursting bubble.
Immediately, the Xuan Tortoise's whole body sank, its massive form burning with crimson-gold flames, falling from the sky.
The Fire Phoenix was even more impolite, swooping down, its golden, bright beak pecking towards the Xuan Tortoise's head. If this strike were to hit, even with the Xuan Tortoise's powerful body, it would likely be utterly destroyed.
A sizzling sound suddenly came from the side, and a black bone claw abruptly reached out from the side, five dark, sharp claw芒, like five rays of saber light, grabbed over.
The Fire Phoenix seemed to sense danger, hurriedly flapping its wings, no longer attacking the Xuan Tortoise, stopping its form, and forming a layer of fire waves in front of it.
The bone claw easily tore through the fire waves, even scratching the Fire Phoenix fiercely, instantly tearing the Fire Phoenix in half.
But immediately after, the torn body turned into strands of crimson-gold light filaments, quickly merging to restore its form, its aura not decreasing much.
The bone claw, driven by Zhang Ling, transformed into a giant claw over twenty yards in size, drawing out trails of claw芒, entangled with the Fire Phoenix in the air.
Instead, it gained a slight advantage, constantly tearing the Fire Phoenix apart.
This kind of attack formed by the gathering of immense spiritual power, in theory, should be powerful once formed, but once broken, it should not be easily reassembled.
But the Fire Phoenix was formed from pure spiritual power, seemingly an immortal body. Constantly being torn apart, yet constantly reassembling.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes, this situation was very unfavorable to him. He couldn't keep wasting time here with this woman.
Only now, truly controlling the dark ancient claw, did he sense that although this treasure's attack power was strong, it consumed spiritual power extremely quickly.
After a journey of pursuit and escape, and this battle, the spiritual power in his body had been consumed by seventy or eighty percent, and if he dragged on, his life would truly be in danger.
With a loud boom, a large expanse of water surged.
The Xuan Tortoise's massive body slammed into the water, emitting a chill, desperately suppressing the golden flames on its body.
These crimson-gold flames were extremely tenacious, and being stained with too much was corroding the flesh.
The Xuan Tortoise constantly shook its body, emitting a layer of bloody light, losing a lot of blood energy, before extinguishing this layer of flames.
After a battle, the Xuan Tortoise's situation was not good either, its spiritual power was also running out.
But looking at this Moon Fairy, her aura showed no signs of weakening. Either her body's spiritual power was dense, or she had some natural treasures on her that quickly restored spiritual power.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling flipped a hand, and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand. He crushed the jade bottle, from which floated five drops of milky-white water droplets.
He opened his mouth and swallowed all five drops of water droplets, and immediately Zhang Ling's aura surged, quickly recovering his spiritual power, and in a few breaths, the spiritual power in his body recovered to fifty or sixty percent.
These were the remaining few drops of millennium spiritual milk in his hand, which could quickly restore consumed spiritual power.
A single drop could basically restore all of the spiritual power of a Golden Core cultivator. But he was now a Nascent Soul cultivation, and after taking five drops, he had only just recovered two or three percent of his spiritual power.
But for the current situation, it was good to recover a little more power.
Moon Fairy seemed to observe that the aura on his body had recovered a lot. She coldly snorted, and a crimson light erupted from her body, and she spat out a ball of golden spiritual power, and the golden treasure mirror was sacrificed again.
The treasure mirror gently shook, instantly transforming into three identical light mirrors.
A series of spells struck them, and on the mirror surfaces of the three treasure mirrors, dense black spiritual patterns actually emerged.
Subsequently, they shot out strange black-gold spiritual light. These spiritual lights transformed into rays of light filaments, all integrated into the fighting Fire Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix's crimson-gold body gradually turned black-gold, and a terrifying pressure transmitted over.
Without thinking, he knew that this woman had used some secret technique again. Zhang Ling's face became even more gloomy, he flicked his sleeves, and two small pills gently collided, floating out a cloud of purple smoke, covering himself within it.
At the same time, five or six tall puppets appeared beside him.
Moon Fairy's divine sense swept over them, but could not detect the enemy's movements. However, the golden pupils in her eyes flickered a few times, and she pierced through this layer of purple smoke, seeing the figure inside.
"High-level puppets, playing tricks."
No matter what the enemy was going to do, these high-level puppets could not pose any threat to her, and she could crush them at will.
She could now use a secret technique once, and she would definitely be able to take down this person and demon.
Speaking of Zhang Ling, while releasing a few puppets to confuse the enemy, a bronze ancient lamp floated beside him.
The Xuan Tortoise shrank its body, transforming back into a human form, and came forward. Without hesitation, it opened its mouth and spat out a ball of essence blood, integrating it into the ancient lamp. A ghostly blue lamp flame lit up, and the Xuan Tortoise, bathed in the lamp flame, its eyes became a bit colder.
Now, both sides had fought to a critical juncture, and to win, they could only take a risk.
Using the ancient lamp to amplify the power of the divine soul, the Xuan Tortoise could barely use a Soul Piercing attack once, to create an opportunity, perhaps heavily injuring Moon Fairy.
