The Phoenix Arises

Chapter 19.2: Challenging Beyond One’s Level

Duanmu Xi’s violet eyes narrowed slightly and another powerful water technique was unleashed.

“Mystical Ice Water Dragon…..”

An enormous blue water dragon manifested and soared into the sky.

“Attack…..”

With a wave of the spirit staff, the blue water dragon seemed to possess its own consciousness as it surged straight through the assassin leader’s heart.

The mouth of the assassin leader was wide agape, but no sound came out of it before he toppled to the ground with a crash. Seeing that their leader was dead, the remaining black robed assassins turned themselves around and sought to flee.

Staring at the panicked backs of the assassins, Duanmu Xi’s eyes glinted dangerously.

“Arrow Storm…..”

Countless blue arrows rained down upon the black robed assassins.

She had said it earlier. Whoever hurts him will die.

Gazing upon the corpses scattered across the ground, a glimmer of pride shone in Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes.

[To have killed a Mystical Sovereign who surpassed her in cultivation levels, his Little Xi is truly extraordinary!]

— Early Morning, Inside the Cave —

Xuanyuan Mo looked worriedly at Duanmu Xi who was still in a deep sleep as he touched her tiny face gently.

“There’s no need to be worried. Mistress is just too tired. Having executed so many intense techniques in such quick succession, even with the Water Spirit Fruit infusing her with water spirit energy, it would have taken quite a toll on her mentally. Once she has enough sleep and her mental strength is replenished, Mistress will then wake up.”

Lan Ze could not help but explain it to the youth when he saw Xuanyuan Mo’s worried face. Without knowing the reason why, Lan Ze had a feeling that this youth was not as simple as he looked, to the extent that there was an inexplicable sense of fear in him towards the youth.

“Thank you.”

Those two words said in a cold tone, had however made Lan Ze feel the sincerity in them.

Lan Ze lifted his head proudly. “My name is Lan Ze. It was given to me by my Mistress.”

[Lan Ze, a rather nice name. Just like his own, Snowy. It seems like the little fella likes to give people names.]

“I did not do all that last night because of you, but because of my Mistress. If anything happened to you, my Mistress would have thrown a fit. Phew, it had been a tiring night, I will be getting myself some sleep.”

Lan Ze yawned, and then disappeared from inside the cave.

Looking at Duanmu Xi sleeping adorably like a baby, Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes flashed.

[Does Little Xi really care so much about him?]

When he thought back about the scene when she had kissed his eye, Xuanyuan Mo’s heart stirred and he leaned forward to plant a light kiss upon those lips that were smiling slightly.

The light clear fragrance most young girls possessed enveloped his senses, that faint scent causing Xuanyuan Mo’s breathing to stop for a moment, and to not dare do anything else but to just stare in a daze, at the little one who was still soundly asleep.
