After running for a while, when the two of them passed through most of the imperial city, Emperor Shitian glanced behind and saw that Li Xiu had no signs of exhaustion. He felt that Li Xiu's possession of the Qilin blood could not be measured by common sense and that it would not be beneficial for him to continue this way. Emperor Shitian was also tired of being chased, so he suddenly stopped his steps.
Turning around, Emperor Shitian gave a cold snort, changing his playful attitude and instantaneously gave off a domineering aura, while his true essence rumbled, a phenomenon rose behind him, a sharp ice blade appeared, floating behind him and densely covering several yards, it looks like there are thousands of them and it's terrifying, making Emperor Shitian look like a immortal who can summon wind and rain at will!
Seeing this phenomenon, Li Xiu also stopped his movement, his expression became serious, he knew that Emperor Shitian had already used his ultimate move.
"If you want my Phoenix blood, I'm afraid you don't have the strength for it! Kneel down and talk to me again!"
Emperor Shitian suddenly stepped forward, the wind suddenly rose, he stared at Li Xiu, fiercely reaching out his hand, at the same time the thousands of blades behind him were pulled, flying upward, as if to break through the clouds! To cut open the sky!
Li Xiu's expression was shocked, his face showed a few surprises, he deeply felt that the martial art has reached the level of Emperor Shitian and could be said to be gradually transforming into a magical power.
Of course, it still cannot reach the level of a true magical power, the thousands of ice blades rose for ten or so yards then stopped, then under Emperor Shitian's fierce shout, they twisted and condensed into a terrible ice dragon and dived toward Li Xiu.
The roaring sound of the wind was like the roar of the dragon!
Its fearsome power seemed like divine punishment from the heavens!
The ice dragon quickly closed the distance and hit Li Xiu, who had no time to dodge. Li Xiu looked up and set up layer after layer of force field shields around himself.
"Boom!"
The ice dragon, like a heavy mountain, hit Li Xiu, pushing him back and crushing the ground beneath him. However, the ice dragon's ferocity was unable to break through Li Xiu's force field shields, and its blades began to break and its head became disfigured.
Emperor Shitian growled and his expression under his mask became fierce. It was as if his body was being pulled by nine oxen, and he stepped forward with difficulty. The ice dragon also wildly swung its tail, its charge becoming even more fierce, as if determined to crush Li Xiu into meat paste.
As the two fought for several moments, Li Xiu had been slowly pushed back several yards, leaving deep trenches in the ground with his legs. However, the ice blades also broke in half, leaving the ice dragon's body in a state of ruin and looking like a broken bow.
Feeling the ice dragon's power weaken, Emperor Shitian suddenly clenched his fist and shouted. Li Xiu felt the ice dragon's power suddenly decrease, but he did not show any joy on his face and quickly retreated.
Unfortunately, he was too late. The ice dragon suddenly convulsed, trapping Li Xiu within its body. Then, like a flash of lightning, thousands of ice blades exploded simultaneously!
"Bang!"
With a deafening sound, the broken blades of ice flew and scattered, and the hard and thick wood and stone within a dozen meters were like soft mud and were pierced and exploded. The closer it was, the more the houses collapsed and the deeper the pits and holes were!
Emperor Shitian's face turned pale after he stopped, obviously this killing move was a considerable burden for him. But a few moments later, Emperor Shitian's expression returned to normal, it was just the consumption of true energy
not to the extent of overdrawing his vitality.
Emperor Shitian looked at the deep pit created by the explosion of the ice dragon, thinking that with two consecutive killing moves, even if the opponent was not dying, he would be half-crippled and would have no strength to fight again. After capturing the person, he would be able to torture and force out that mysterious technique.
After the dust cleared, suddenly a figure leaped out of the deep pit. Although his clothes were torn, there wasn't a drop of blood on his body, but his appearance had become peculiar.
On his head grew a pair of majestic qilin horns, he was wearing a layer of red fine scales on his body, his eyes were blood red, it was a strange and fiendish look!
Li Xiu opened his eyes to look at Emperor Shitian, Emperor Shitian was like being stared at by a terrifying beast, his face showing a few traces of fear, he couldn't understand why, under the gaze of this young man with the blood of qilin, he felt like he was back to the time when he was still a mortal leading soldiers to hunt down the divine beast Phoenix, always feeling the danger of death.
Emperor Shitian shook his head, lamenting the terrifying nature of the qilin blood and the evil nature of this boy in the black robe, that it could even evoke a natural fear in him.
Li Xiu let out a roar like a thunder, and then kicked the ground, crossing hundreds of meters in an instant and attacking fiercely towards Emperor Shitian. The momentum was so fierce that it made people's hearts tremble.
Emperor Shitian quickly used his true energy to form a thick ice wall in front of him, but almost at the same time, there was a crisp sound of breaking, the ice wall was smashed and shattered, and a red figure appeared in the flying ice fragments, making Emperor Shitian's face change abruptly.
With a bang, Emperor Shitian, although he quickly mobilized his defensive true energy, was still knocked back and flew dozens of yards, breaking through several houses before finally stopping.
Emperor Shitan stood unsteadily, his face twisted in pain, looking at his broken and twisted arms, exposed white bones and feeling a deep fear in his heart. Despite his immortal and untouchable body due to his phoenix blood, it didn't mean he could be infinitely regenerated.
A few moments later, as Li Xiu chased after him, Emperor Shitian's arms had also healed almost completely.
Li Xiu was just about to step forward and attack again, but suddenly heard a loud, bell-like sound of a heartbeat. His own heartbeat had suddenly and unexpectedly increased, becoming faster and faster until it exceeded the limit of a normal person.
Li Xiu looked up and noticed that as his heartbeat became more and more rapid, Emperor Shitian's face also began to show signs of discomfort. It was clear that he was not feeling well, otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated to attack.
The Sacred Heart Technique, a mysterious martial art that Emperor Shitian had spent a thousand years creating by combining various martial arts and the special characteristics of the Phoenix blood, had four particularly strange and terrifying attack moves known as the Four Catastrophes of the Sacred Heart. Li Xiu guessed that he had been hit by the Heaven Heart Catastrophe, which had caused Emperor Shitian to take control of his own heart and could cause a normal person's heart and mind to rupture and die.
However, Li Xiu was infused with the blood of a qilin and had a more complete fusion of divine beast blood than Emperor Shitian's phoenix blood, so he was not afraid at all.
As expected, after a dozen or so breaths, the heartbeats of the two had reached the point of being fast like drums and clearly audible, but the performer, Emperor Shitian, seemed to be more uncomfortable. The scene was a bit strange and funny for a moment.
In the end, it still didn't work. Emperor Shitian gave up trying. It seems that two of his Four Catastrophes of the Sacred Heart probably have no effect. The Evil Blood Catastrophe and the Heaven Heart Catastrophe were similar in principle, both relied on the strange nature of the Phoenix blood to deal with ordinary people. It is probably also ineffective for this black-robed boy.
However, it's fortunate that it's not a dead end. He still has two more bizarre and difficult-to-defend Catastrophes left. Emperor Shitian quietly closed his eyes and opened them again fiercely towards Li Xiu in the next breath.
