"Phoenix Staff!"
Upon seeing the treasure in Kong Xuan's hand, both the demon and phoenix tribes were greatly astonished. They never expected it to be the long-lost supreme treasure of the phoenix tribe, the Phoenix Staff!
At this moment, as the Phoenix Staff appeared, Kong Xuan was enveloped by surging destiny. From the phoenix tribe, wisps of destiny also began to rise from the tribesmen, heading towards Kong Xuan and entering the Phoenix Staff.
Seeing this, the demon general's face turned ashen with shock. He quickly shouted,
"Quick, quick! Stop him, don't let him gather the destiny!"
If Kong Xuan were to gather the destiny of the phoenix tribe with the Phoenix Staff, the Undying Volcano Array could be reactivated.
In that case, all their previous efforts would be in vain!
The demons, hearing this, understood the gravity of the situation. They immediately surged forward, attempting to stop Kong Xuan.
"So His Highness has already found our phoenix tribe's supreme treasure, the Phoenix Staff. No wonder he is so confident!"
The Great Elder of the phoenix tribe instantly understood what was happening.
Seeing the demons charging towards Kong Xuan, he could no longer afford to be cautious. He turned back and issued an order,
"What are you waiting for? Hurry and assist His Highness! As long as our tribe's destiny is gathered and the array is restarted, who will dare to bully our phoenix tribe!"
The phoenix tribesmen, snapping out of their astonishment, charged out one after another.
They had relied on the Undying Volcano Array for their previous battles against the demons.
Now, seeing Kong Xuan making such a crucial move, they rushed out of the array and engaged the demons in battle.
"Hmph! You deal with these guys, we'll go kill Kong Xuan!"
The demon general knew that Kong Xuan was the key. He was unwilling to waste time on other phoenix tribesmen and led three other demon experts towards Kong Xuan.
"You want to get close to my elder brother? Have you asked me first?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng, unwilling to let anyone interfere with his elder brother gathering destiny, charged out and blocked their path.
"You handle him, you two come with me!"
Without further ado, the demon general ordered one demon expert to deal with the Golden-Winged Great Peng, while he, along with the remaining two demon experts, charged towards Kong Xuan.
"You stop right there!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng roared in anger, but the demon expert left behind had already made his move. He was unable to break free and could only watch them advance.
However, Xu Fang was standing by Kong Xuan's side. Naturally, he wouldn't let them succeed. With a flash of his figure, he blocked Kong Xuan's path.
"Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"
The demon general roared, his oppressive aura rolling in, attempting to force Xu Fang to retreat.
"Fellow Daoist, I can only help you stall for time,"
Xu Fang shouted to Kong Xuan. Even with his extraordinary abilities, it would be quite difficult to deal with three demon experts of similar cultivation levels.
However, with three treasures in hand, Xu Fang wasn't worried about his own safety. These three demon experts were not as powerful as Jiuying. He could definitely hold them off.
Kong Xuan did not reply. He was currently holding the Phoenix Staff and was gathering the destiny of the phoenix tribe.
Xu Fang, knowing the urgency of the situation, willed it, and the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and the Six Roots of Purity flew out, blocking the path of the demon general and the two demon experts.
"Good! Since you are courting death, do not blame us!"
Seeing this, the demon general knew that he could not reach Kong Xuan unless he dealt with the current obstacle. He exchanged a look with the other two demon experts, and they surrounded Xu Fang, preparing to kill him.
However, with Xu Fang's three treasures unleashed, how could they have their way?
Immediately, Xu Fang split his focus into three, controlling his three treasures and engaging the three demons.
The sounds of fighting continued, and brilliant lights erupted, turning this place into a battlefield once more, bustling with activity.
Amidst this battlefield, only the area where Kong Xuan stood was peaceful. Kong Xuan was wholeheartedly manipulating the Phoenix Staff, with countless threads of destiny rising from the phoenix tribesmen and flowing towards him, entering the Phoenix Staff.
"Damn it! What is this creature?!"
The demon general had been fighting with Xu Fang for a while, or rather, with the Heaven-Measuring Ruler. This was because Xu Fang's intention was not to kill, but to stall for time, which only required him to control his treasures.
Xu Fang's treasures were extensions of his will. All Xu Fang did was to supply them with his magic power and activate their might.
"General, this cannot continue. We must find a solution."
A demon expert said, retreating to the demon general's side.
This creature's methods were bizarre. He was controlling three treasures single-handedly.
And they were unable to bypass these three treasures. No matter how they maneuvered, the treasures would follow them like shadows, giving them no opportunity.
"If we let this Kong Xuan gather destiny, it will be troublesome."
The demon general looked at Kong Xuan, seeing the continuous flow of destiny, and knew they could not delay. His eyes darted, and an idea struck him.
"To catch the king, one must first catch the bandit. Lend me a hand!"
"How do I help you?"
Before the demon expert could finish speaking, he was directly struck by the demon general and pushed forward, colliding with the approaching Heaven-Measuring Ruler and Ruyi Jingu Bang.
"Brother Ruler, you bumped into me!"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect this demon scoundrel to be so devious!"
Although the Heaven-Measuring Ruler and the Ruyi Jingu Bang sent the demon expert flying, severely injuring him,
This obstruction by him gave the demon general an opening. He seized the brief moment and charged towards Kong Xuan.
"Kong Xuan, fellow Daoist, be careful!"
Xu Fang shouted loudly. However, Kong Xuan, holding the Phoenix Staff and absorbing destiny, seemed unresponsive.
"Haha! Prince Kong Xuan, I shall claim your head! The first merit in destroying the phoenix tribe shall be mine!"
The demon general laughed heartily, his power surging as he waved his hand, striking directly at Kong Xuan.
"You talk too much."
Kong Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his aura surging. The Phoenix Staff in his hand trembled violently, and boundless destiny poured out, crushing down with immense force.
At this distance and speed, even the demon general, with his Golden Immortal cultivation, was caught off guard and instantly suppressed.
The demon general was terrified. His magic power was forced back, and his body could not move. The roles had suddenly reversed, from predator to prey!
Seeing the killing intent in Kong Xuan's eyes, the demon general quickly pleaded,
"Wait! You cannot kill me. The demon saint Jiuying is here! Lord Jiuying, save me!"
"Jiuying?"
Kong Xuan chuckled, "Where do you think I got the Phoenix Staff from? I'm sorry, you have been abandoned."
"As for you, once a subordinate of the phoenix tribe, you now lead troops to attack my phoenix tribe. You are ungrateful and deserve to die!"
"Now, I wield the Phoenix Staff and pronounce judgment upon you in the name of the phoenix tribe. Die!"
As Kong Xuan spoke, the Phoenix Staff blazed with light, and a powerful force surged forth, instantly annihilating the demon general before him, turning him into dust!
