Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 461 - 462 Asking for Advice

When Lu Mingshu brought out the secret methods, her heart raced, wondering if she had a chance to obtain them as well.

But now, she thought differently.

With Dai Jingyu as a precedent and Du Furong having just exhausted all her resources, even managing only a few moves, she asked herself: Was her strength, Xue Yi’s, greater than theirs?

No.

The top ten disciples of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion were certainly not ordinary; she was slightly inferior to the two of them.

With their defeats so humiliating, she wouldn’t fare much better.

Now it proved she was right.

Although Mortimer Lindt and Su Zigui’s strength was not on par with Du Furong, they were two working together!

In terms of opponents, one plus one had always been greater than two, and two joined forces were not simply an addition of strength.

Moreover, their techniques were consistent and familiar with each other, working together harmoniously.

Even a seasoned Spirit Realm opponent might fall to their swords.

Yet against Lu Mingshu, they were entirely helpless.

She hadn’t even exerted her full strength, and both Mortimer Lindt and Su Zigui were utterly suppressed.

It wasn’t just a simple suppression of power; it seemed to be a…

technique suppression!

Xue Yi glanced at another stone pillar.

On the radiant seventh treasure coral lay a tattered book casually tossed aside.

Yet now, who noticed the originally priceless treasure coral?

No matter how precious it was, it was just a spirit weapon.

But that tattered book represented a new era.

Xue Yi shivered uncontrollably, unsure whether due to excitement or fear.

Whoever won this secret method today would completely alter the Beiming’s dynamic.

What future awaited them?

“Ding, ding, ding, ding…” A series of sounds, the flying knives were all deflected, deeply nailing into the ground.

Simultaneously, Su Zigui flew backward, crashing into a stone pillar.

The next moment, Mortimer Lindt, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted from mid-air.

Kou Wei intervened just in time.

With a fan’s wave, he drew two threads of water, pulling the two of them back.

Su Zigui staggered to his feet, determined to continue the fight.

“Junior Brother Su!” Kou Wei shouted to stop him, shaking his head.

Su Zigui was unconvinced: “Senior Brother Kou, we haven’t lost yet!”

Kou Wei sighed, pointing to the flying knives on the ground.

Su Zigui glanced over, and was stunned.

This set of flying knives was a gift from his mentor, made from rare materials, forged over a whole year.

Although it was only middle-grade among treasure tools, its significance to him was extraordinary.

However, just moments ago, the vibrant flying knives now lay dull and lifeless, clearly devoid of their spirit.

Su Zigui’s heart ached as if bleeding, pointing at Lu Mingshu standing atop the stone pillar, his hand trembling.

Lu Mingshu remained impassive, asking again, “Is there more?”

Hua Manxi gritted her teeth, about to step forward.

Who would have thought someone beat her to it: “Let me be the one to inquire about Miss Lu’s prowess!”

Hua Manxi looked at Fang Zhen in surprise: “Senior Brother Fang!”

They had already planned in advance to have him strike first, to trap Lu Mingshu, then Du Furong would deplete her strength, with Fang Zhen finally securing the victory.

However, first Du Furong acted on her own, then even Fang Zhen deviated from the plan.

What was happening?

They acted prematurely, so what was she supposed to do?

Fang Zhen gave her a look, mouthing a message: “The situation has changed; the plan is no longer useful.”

“Why is it no longer useful?”

Fang Zhen smiled but didn’t answer.

Why wasn’t it useful?

Because Lu Mingshu’s prowess exceeded all their expectations.

Even if Hua Manxi took action, nothing would change.

Moreover, provoking Lu Mingshu would only make the situation more chaotic.

Lu Mingshu looked at Fang Zhen, a hint of a smile: “Young Master Fang, isn’t it a bit early for you to step in now?”

Fang Zhen’s sleeve trailed as he leapt onto another stone pillar, asking with a smile, “Why do you say that?”

Lu Mingshu replied, “Isn’t this what you all prefer?

To handle someone, first send minions to probe, then send in moderate strength to force out powerful moves, and finally, the expert joins.

I thought, given Young Master Fang’s level, he should be the expert.”

“…” Fang Zhen found himself speechless once again.

Upon careful reflection, wasn’t Hua Manxi’s original plan just like this?

Had they already been seen through…

“Then let’s start.” Lu Mingshu had no intention of chattering.

Fang Zhen gathered his focus, gesturing: “Ladies first.”

Lu Mingshu wasn’t polite.

Since he invited, she swept forward with her sword.

Fang Zhen had witnessed her strength earlier and dared not be careless now.

He made a hand gesture, and suddenly a wall of water emerged out of thin air, standing between the two of them.

With a soft hiss, the sword-light struck the water wall.

The water wall wobbled, shaking continuously.

Seeing this, the crowd on the land bridge erupted into chatter.

“Is this…pure magic?”

“With no medium, it seems to really be…”

“Has the Heavenly Sea Pavilion’s research into magic reached this level?”

“Hey, don’t forget the Qilin Festival years ago, the magic Kou Wei displayed.”

“But that was Assimilation Realm, and this is Spirit Realm; the powers of the two can’t be compared.”

“Indeed…”

In the formation, Kou Wei sighed softly.

In terms of magic, Fang Zhen was indeed ahead of him.

He still needed the weapon for guidance, while Fang Zhen had already approached the essence.

The sword-light momentarily halted, but the water wall was relentless, suddenly turning into a raging wave, surging toward the sword-light.

Lu Mingshu squinted slightly, sensing tremendous pressure.

These waves weren’t ordinary.

The power contained within could likely crush city walls.

This was genuine magic, purer than the spell Kou Wei had used before.

With a sweep of her sleeve, sword-light shot forth, meeting the towering waves.

Water sprays and sword-light clashed, and above the Five Dragon Mystic Water formation, white splashes and sword-light were everywhere, causing the surrounding sea surface to churn continuously.

On the land bridge, there were low exclamations.

No one expected these two to cause such a commotion once they started.

On the main platform, Mr.

Wen Hai smiled: “This brat Fang Zhen has been improving rapidly lately!”

Master Cheng remarked, “He’s always been smart and learns magic quickly, just too lazy, always needing someone to push him.”

Mr.

Wen Hai chuckled, “This won’t do.

Others are both smart and diligent.

If he’s not diligent, he’ll fall behind.”

Master Cheng nodded in agreement, yet pondered who the smart and diligent person he referred to was.

Kou Wei?

Or perhaps Lu Mingshu?
