CHAPTER 1269  HEAVENLY WHITE TIGER

"Are you okay?" Feng Yuxiang asked Xi Meili after standing back up.

"Yes, it's just a scratch," she nodded.

"Sorry… If I was paying a little more attention, you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

"It's okay."

Feng Yuxiang turned to Bai Xutao with a stern expression and remarked, "If the Immortal Monarch witnessed your behavior just now, he'd have you executed on the spot."

"Keep his name out of your mouth. He isn't someone a mere ordinary phoenix should mention so casually," Bai Xutao growled in response.

"Yet you were so desperate to spend some time with this ordinary phoenix just moments ago— even using his name to do so." Feng Yuxiang clapped back.

"You're a disgrace to the Immortal Monarch's legacy— if the Immortal Clans are even real."

"H-How dare you…" Bai Xutao's face bulged with veins of anger upon hearing Feng Yuxiang's words that could erase a whole legacy if uttered in the presence of the Immortal Clans in the Upper Heavens.

"I was going to give you a quick and painless death, but you really couldn't help yourself. Not only did you mock my family, but the entire Immortal Monarch's legacy, huh? Even a thousand deaths wouldn't be enough for you."

When the people around them realized the gravity of the situation, they immediately scattered away like ants in the rain, unwilling to get caught up in their trouble.

"He's not an opponent we can take down alone." Xi Meili said to Feng Yuxiang through divine sense.

"I know. Let's take him down together."

Bai Xutao suddenly laughed out loud, "You won't be able to take me down even if you worked together."

Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili frowned upon realizing that Bai Xutao had intercepted their communication through divine sense, something that can only be done by someone far superior to them.

'As expected of someone from the Seventh Heaven. Even if their cultivation is restricted to Spirit King, they are pretty much untouchable for everyone in this world.' Feng Yuxiang could feel herself sweating for the first time in a while.

'This pressure… he's countless times stronger than the Azure Dragon Family's patriarch even in his current state…' Xi Meili sighed inwardly, realizing just how small her world was compared to the outside world.

"He's coming!" Xi Meili warned Feng Yuxiang.

"Heavenly Tiger's Advance." Half a second later, Bai Xutao disappeared from his spot and appeared a few steps away from Xi Meili.

"Heavenly Tiger's Fangs." Bai Xutao plunged his claw-like hands toward Xi Meili's body.

Xi Meili didn't dare to hold back and fought back with her fists, punching Bai Xutao's incoming strike.

However, even with her full strength, Xi Meili wasn't able to block Bai Xutao's unstoppable claws and was sent flying, destroying the small building behind her.

Seeing this, Feng Yuxiang semi-transformed, spreading her fiery wings before shooting herself at Bai Xutao.

"Vermilion Phoenix Dominating the Heavens!"

"Phoenix's Wrath!" Once she arrived before Bai Xutao, Feng Yuxiang released her phoenix flames directly at him, engulfing his figure in an instant.

"Hmph! What weak flames! Are you really a phoenix?!" Bai Xutao's voice resounded before he emerged from her flames without a single scratch on his body.

"Heavenly Tiger's Destruction Wave!" Bai Xutao roared at Feng Yuxiang, releasing a powerful sound wave that obliterated everything within several blocks of her direction.

Fortunately for Feng Yuxiang, she barely managed to protect her life by erecting a wall of fire before her, but even then, she did not escape unscathed.

'Fuck! If I had been even a second slower, I would've died just now!' had befallen the city. All of the buildings had turned to rubble, and Feng Yuxiang cried inwardly as blood oozed from the cuts on her body.

She turned to look behind her, only to witness the devastation that had befallen the city. All of the buildings had turned to rubble, and corpses could be seen scattered everywhere.

"You crazy bastard… I thought you only wanted to kill us?! Using such destructive techniques in the middle of a city— you are really out of your mind! Is this how someone related to the Immortal Monarch should behave?! Calling you a disgrace was an understatement! I can't wait to witness Heaven's Tribulation rain down upon you!" Feng Yuxiang shouted at him.

However, Bai Xutao remained unfazed by the destruction he had caused, even looking completely relaxed.

"Heaven's Tribulation? It won't show up even if I were to destroy this entire city. That's what it means to be from the Immortal Clans

— that is how much influence we have within the Nine Heavens." Bai Xutao sneered, his demeanor completely different from the beginning, almost as though he was a different person.

"Heavenly White Tiger... I've heard tales about your bloodline," Xi Meili muttered as she emerged from the rubble of the collapsed building. "A bloodline brimming with violence. When you lot engage in battle, you lose your sanity and won't cease until your hunger for violence is appeased."

"However, witnessing it firsthand, you guys are far more crazy in reality," she added.

"Are you regretting it now? Unfortunately, it's too late. Now that you've made my blood boil, I won't stop until you both are dead. If you don't want this city to perish with you, then stop struggling and offer your lives to me!" Bai Xutao commanded.

"Che!" Feng Yuxiang spat out the blood in her mouth and mumbled, "I didn't think I would be relying on this so soon, much less for a crazy bastard like him…"

She proceeded to retrieve a vial of blood from her spatial ring.

"Blood?" Bai Xutao narrowed his eyes at the vial in Feng Yuxiang's grasp. "And how will that save you?"

"What is she planning?" Xi Meili mumbled to herself, as she was also puzzled by Feng Yuxiang's actions.

However, Feng Yuxiang did not respond to Bai Xutao's inquiry and consumed the entire vial of blood.

"Argh!" Feng Yuxiang released a painful cry before quickly suppressing it.

The next moment, her aura skyrocketed all the way to the heavens.

Her crimson hair lengthened and ignited in flames, gradually spreading throughout her body until her entire form resembled a fiery sphere. Belonging to .

When the flames that had enveloped Feng Yuxiang vanished a moment later, she reappeared with a completely altered appearance.

Her clothing had been incinerated, and only her private parts were concealed by flames as if she were clad in an attire crafted entirely of fire.

A red symbol that had not been present before had materialized at the center of her forehead, and her eyes seemed to smolder with inner flames.

Feng Yuxiang looked at her hands and muttered in a low voice, "As expected, the Young Master's blood is truly mythical."

Bai Xutao had a profound frown on his face after seeing Feng Yuxiang's transformation.

"You… that appearance…"

Though he couldn't recollect it right away, he had a strong feeling that he had seen Feng Yuxiang's appearance somewhere else.

Feng Yuxiang suddenly looked at Bai Xutao and pointed her finger at him.

"Die," she murmured in a low voice, then released a highly concentrated beam of flames from the tip of her finger, directing it straight at Bai Xutao.

Seeing this, Bai Xutao promptly shifted his head to evade the approaching attack, narrowly escaping the beam that soared into the heavens, piercing through the clouds and leaving a clear hole behind.

"..."

Bai Xutao felt a few drops of cold sweat forming on his back afterward. If Feng Yuxiang hadn't aimed at his head just then, he wouldn't have been able to evade the attack in time because his body hadn't reacted quickly enough.

Realizing this, Bai Xutao's face flushed with embarrassment, and his body trembled in anger.
