Chapter 2124: Chapter 1986: Peril on All Sides

"Boom!"

A great battle erupted!

Zhou Zhaohu was immensely confident, his palm radiance sharp as a blade, slashing directly towards Doudou’s forehead.

He didn’t want to delay, attacking with thunderous means, intending to kill Doudou instantly and seize her treasures.

Though the area was deserted for thousands of miles, it couldn’t be ruled out that Supreme Strongmen might pass by, and he wanted no hidden dangers left behind.

Doudou frowned slightly, knowing that it would be difficult to escape without a bloody fight.

In an instant, she adjusted her mindset, suppressing her longing for Ye Fan, and prepared to fight with all her might.

"Clang!"

She didn’t evade, raising her right hand like Divine Phoenix Wings, emitting a light golden radiance, tearing through the void, meeting Zhou Zhaohu’s palm radiance.

"Boom!"

Rocks flew, the earth rolled, as their palm radiances clashed, it was as if the world was ending, shattering the dry land, raising dust that blocked out the sun.

"Hehe..."

Zhou Zhaohu sneered, his voice like an owl in the night, shrill and piercing.

He had already noticed that Doudou’s right hand had split open with blood marks, dripping blood.

The difference of one realm was like an insurmountable chasm, ensuring that this girl would perish.

He didn’t know who Doudou was, nor did he care. He only knew this girl must die, and that’s enough.

The treasure-seeking beast would not make a mistake; there must be strange treasures on this girl, and soon they would belong to him.

Doudou’s face changed drastically, her body in turmoil, extremely uncomfortable, her right hand in unbearable pain, as if her bones were all shattered.

So close to home, was she to die here? Doudou’s heart kept sinking.

"No! I cannot die, I have yet to meet my big brother, I don’t want to die."

A fierce resolve surged in Doudou’s heart, divine power flowed, rapidly healing her injured right hand, her whole being enveloped in a layer of sacred radiance, like a goddess, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi furiously poured into her, replenishing the energy spent in the last strike.

The Primordial Body was inherently in harmony with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, a constitution born with the will of the world, and once matured, is terrifying.

Possessing divine capabilities to control Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, divine power seemingly inexhaustible, unrivaled within the same rank, able to exhaust any opponent to death through attrition.

Even in battles across ranks, ordinary cultivators could be easily slaughtered.

However, Zhou Zhaohu was also a demon-level genius, with combat prowess to challenge across ranks, which was why she was injured at first strike, a gap in strength impossible to bridge.

"Die!"

Zhou Zhaohu sneered, not wanting to give Doudou time to recuperate, unleashed the Zhou Family’s secret martial arts, his hands hammering like divine thunder, pounding towards Doudou’s top of the skull.

"Sss!"

Doudou let out a soft hiss, setting aside all concerns, her eyes clear as autumn waters, transforming into an Immortal Phoenix, entwined with intense firelight, moving Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, facing Zhou Zhaohu’s twin fists head-on.

"Clang!"

Phoenix Wings and Divine Hammer collided, emitting a resounding metal clamor, like the sun exploding, bursting with brilliant Divine Radiance that blinded the eyes.

Doudou simply closed her eyes, relying solely on Divine Sense to capture the traces of the Iron Fist, Divine Phoenix Wings slicing repeatedly.

Rocks pierced the sky, the ground shattered, within a hundred miles around the combat was transformed into a massive Deep Pit, the land crisscrossed with fissures.

"Bang!"

Doudou, caught off guard, had her arms blasted open by Zhou Zhaohu’s punch, immediately followed by the Iron Fist striking her chest, the violent divine power directly attacking her heart veins.

"Poof!"

Doudou spewed a mouthful of blood, flying backward, heavily falling to the ground, face pale as paper, her once full chest caved in, with an unknown number of ribs broken, blood continually dripping from her mouth.

At this moment, it was as if the world had fallen silent!

This scene was witnessed by no one; no wild beasts, no birds were around.

The battle between the two had long since scared away all living creatures in the surrounding area, leaving the pockmarked earth to silently witness it all.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

Zhou Zhaohu approached coldly, each step resounding like a divine drum, pounding heavily on Doudou’s heart, further aggravating her injuries.

"I never thought you could hurt me!"

Zhou Zhaohu’s eyes were cold, his body filled with intense killing intent, on his fists, flesh turned over, covered with crisscrossing wounds, still dripping blood, adding to his ferocity and terror.

"Am I going to die? Am I really going to die?"

Facing Zhou Zhaohu, like a Death God, Doudou’s heart was filled with despair and unwillingness.

What to do?

Doudou’s mind raced but lamentably realized that in the face of absolute strength, any strategy was futile.

"No! I cannot die!"

Doudou muttered to herself, she had not yet met her big brother, had not delivered the materials to Ye Fan, the mission was incomplete.

"The materials must not fall into the hands of others!"

Doudou resolved secretly, even if she had to die, she must deliver the materials to her big brother first.

At this moment, she burst forth with a strong survival instinct, for the obsession in her heart, she had to survive.

"Crack!"

At this moment, driven by the frenzied obsession, something seemed to break within Doudou’s body, as her body suddenly exploded with a strong cyan light.

"Crackle..."

Inside Doudou, bones crackled, followed by a clear phoenix cry, she slowly rose from the ground, a massive Heavenly Phoenix phantom appearing behind her, noble and sacred, like a king overlooking the Nine Heavens.

This drastic change left Zhou Zhaohu dumbfounded; he never expected a seemingly weak girl to harbor such terrifying energy within her, making him feel utterly insignificant before the Heavenly Phoenix.

At this moment, he even considered fleeing.

However, he eventually did not leave, unwilling to do so. With victory at hand, he didn’t want to lose everything because of a minor anomaly.

"No matter what phenomena you possess, they’re all illusions!"

Zhou Zhaohu shouted to bolster his courage, then drew a sharp Killing Sword, slicing directly towards Doudou, not intending to give her time to recover.

"Swish!"

Doudou evaded the fierce attack under the protection of Qing Light, as if traversing space, and continued her recovery.

"Boom!"

A hundred feet of Sword Radiance slammed onto the ground, creating another massive fissure.

"You can’t escape!"

Zhou Zhaohu snarled ruthlessly, swinging the sword horizontally, the Sword Radiance shattering the Void, leaving a deep rift like a black hole that lingered.

Doudou’s Mind had long stayed alert, though her body couldn’t move, fully enveloped by Qing Light.

Just as the Sword Radiance neared her, she suddenly shifted from standing upright to lying horizontally, the Sword Radiance slicing past her, still failing to harm her.

Doudou didn’t understand why such a mutation had occurred in her body, but she realized this change only brought benefit and no harm to her.

Her blood boiled once more, in the crimson, there seemed to be a flash of Qing Light.

Finally, she could move; her wounded body had completely restored, as if she was enveloped by Heavenly Fire, her phoenix-like eyes intense.

"I don’t care what’s happening to you, today you must die!"

The Heavenly Phoenix’s phantom vanished, along with its dreadful pressure, as Zhou Zhaohu sneered and decisively attacked, Tao Marks swirling at his fingertips, akin to Serpent Dragons coiling and moving.

He had been intent on killing; Doudou’s mutation alarmed him, such an opponent was terrifying, he couldn’t leave any hidden dangers for himself.

The best choice was to eliminate her now before she fully matured.

Since he had already made a move, retreat wasn’t an option; for the strange treasure on her and to leave no hidden dangers, he had to kill Doudou with his full strength.

He believed that killing someone here would be unnoticed, no matter how strong the forces behind this girl were, they wouldn’t discover him.

"Boom!"

The battle erupted again.

Their palms collided, the heavens and earth shook, and unknowingly, the battlefield had shifted north several hundred miles, remaining a wasteland.

The area they fought over felt apocalypse-like; the land lay in ruins, deep pits and fissures everywhere.

At this moment, Doudou seemed like a Fairy, Tao Marks flowed at her fingertips, resembling Immortal Phoenix Wings fluttering.

"Clang clang clang..."

The pair constantly collided, Divine Radiance bursting from within them, even the Holy Embryo manifested, and the battle persisted.

"Phew!"

Doudou spat a mouthful of blood, her gaze grew sharper, embodying a peerless aura, unleashing various martial arts and secret techniques, fighting to the death.

"Phew!"

Zhou Zhaohu also spat blood, face pale, hair disheveled, like a madman.

The mutated Doudou could unexpectedly battle him evenly, this made a sense of ominous foreboding rise within him.

However, regardless, he couldn’t afford to give up; failing to kill Doudou this time would cause immense trouble for himself and his clan.

He had already utilized the Zhou Family’s supreme skills, believing the opponent had guessed his Identity, to ensure there were no future problems, he had to go all out and eliminate Doudou here.

"Ugh..."

Zhou Zhaohu invoked a secret technique, pushing his Combat Power to the extremity, resembling a Killing God, Iron Fist smashing through space with each move fatal.

Doudou’s eyes flashed a hint of panic, though her prowess was strong, she hadn’t experienced life-and-death battles, and facing the desperate Zhou Zhaohu, she was somewhat lost.

"Heh!"

Zhou Zhaohu noticed this, smirked cruelly, and his attacks grew fiercer.

"Doudou, you’re too kind-hearted, this won’t do; the Cultivation World is cruel, a world where people eat people, if you don’t want to die, you must learn to kill, because if you don’t kill him, he will kill you..."

Doudou’s Mind replayed the words Yaling once told her, weren’t they the perfect depiction of the current scene?

To avoid being killed, learning to kill was essential!

Doudou’s heart gradually grew cold; she didn’t want to die, to see her big brother again, she must learn to kill.

At this moment, her Mind seemed serene, Heart reflected everything around!

The antelope hangs its horns, the mysterious bird etches the sand!

In this moment, she had an epiphany, her presence became ethereal, like a Banished Immortal.

"Shhh!"

Phoenix Wings swept by, slicing through the gap between Zhou Zhaohu’s fists, Wing Radiance like a blade, directly cutting Zhou Zhaohu’s head off, blood spattering several feet high.

"Ah..."

Zhou Zhaohu screamed tragically, terrified, trying to attach his body back, only to find it had completely lost vitality, exploding.

"Escape!"

It was his sole thought now, he had failed, thoroughly, but he didn’t want to die, head fleeing afar.

However, without Divine Power’s support, with only a head, how fast could he fly?

Doudou was also severely wounded; Zhou Zhaohu’s desperate counterattack caused cracks in her Holy Embryo.

"Evil must be eradicated, don’t leave yourself any hidden dangers, since it can’t be resolved, the opponent must be eliminated, only the dead pose no threat!"

Doudou’s mind again recalled Yaling’s earnest teachings, she felt she had grown much!

The reality is so cruel; to live well, killing seems almost necessary!

"Buzz!"

Doudou’s Divine Soul flew out, transformed into a lethal sword, instantly caught up with Zhou Zhaohu’s fleeing head, sliced it, head shattering!

Immediately, she utilized the last of her Divine Power, triggering Phoenix Heavenly Fire, incinerating Zhou Zhaohu’s Divine Soul to ashes!

In the moment the Divine Soul turned to ash, he was shocked, panicked, fearful, regretful, unwilling...

In the final instant, he felt such remorse.

However, it was all too late.

As the Divine Soul turned to ash, his life imprint dimmed completely, vanishing.
