Boom!

    The cold light in Song Xiaojun's eyes exploded. The dark red flames instantly transformed into the state of a true phoenix that struck without any mercy towards him.

    Ye Qingyu nearly fell at this moment.

    To think this sc.u.mmy parrot would hara.s.s Song Xiaojun at this moment? Was he looking to die?

    He did his utmost to avoid, barely making it. With a loud voice, "Xiaojun, this parrot was not raised by me... I am Ye Qingyu, do you really not recognize me? Quickly stop..."

    "Zhi zhi zhi..." The little white rabbit also began sharply squawking, as if it wanted to say something.

    But the parrot continued to excitedly squawk, saying, "Hehe, a wild little horse. Haha, I love it, I love little tomboys, hahaha..."

    Ye Qingyu hated the fact that he could not bash this parrot to death.

    This was unquestionably the words Ximen Yeshui had taught it to pick up girls.

    The parrot that the dark-faced scholar had bought was perfect for the atmosphere to talk with girls in places like brothels .Therefore, these days, he had spent every moment teaching the parrot such words to tease pretty girls. But who would have thought this feathered beast was also a perverted gutsy thing. Seeing a beautiful girl like Song Xiaojun, it's instinct instantly exploded and completely repeated everything the dark-faced scholar had taught it.

    Ye Qingyu completely had the intent to kill someone.

    That d.a.m.n thing, to dare say such things at such a crucial moment?

    Facing the merciless onslaught of Song Xiaojun, Ye Qingyu was in an extremely sorry state.

    In the blink of an eye, there were already several injuries on his body. Facing the dim flame of the true phoenix brus.h.i.+ng past him, in an instant, everything was burnt to ashes. His skin and muscles had already become completely burnt, and he escaped from deaths several times. He was nearly completely burnt into coal.

    There was a powerful alien fire poison held in these dim dark flames.

    Thinking back, when the War G.o.d of Youyan Pa.s.s Lu Zhaoge faced the burning flames of Song Xiaojun, he had nearly also died. Furthermore, this was the Song Xiaojun who had her strength increased explosively.

    Thankfully, there was the [Supreme Ice Flame] within Ye Qingyu. Furthermore, his control over the [Supreme Ice Flame] had already reached a masterful state. He could barely manage to use it to solve the fire poison from the flames of darkness.

    But even if so, Ye Qingyu was nearing the point when he could not endure any longer.

    He activated the [First Limit] of the [Limitless Divine Way], but he was still not her opponent.

    "Xiaojun, that parrot was not raised by me..." Ye Qingyu loudly tried to explain.

    "I love to ride a wild horse, zhi zhi zhi..." the parrot began to squawk more and more excitedly, its wing flapping loudly as it shouted.

    Song Xiaojun's expression was as icy as ever. She acted without mercy, as if he wanted to completely destroy Ye Qingyu. She did not even hold back in the slightest.

    Ye Qingyu wanted to completely kill this parrot.

    But thinking of the reminder that Ximen Yeshui had before he left for battle, and that this parrot did not have much intelligence, it was only repeating what it had heard. If he killed it, he did not know how to explain it to Ximen Yeshui.

    Furthermore, Ye Qingyu discovered that Song Xiaojun's merciless attacks were not because she had been enraged by the words of the parrot or anything else.

    From her expression, she seemed to have already completely forgotten about Ye Qingyu.

    She did not recognize the little white rabbit in his embrace.

    "What is happening? Could it be that she is being controlled by someone? En... this does not seem like it, her consciousness seems very normal. It seems that she really doesn't remember me anymore... could it be, that her bloodline of darkness has activated once again, and she lost her memory once again?" 

    There were a thousand thoughts flitting through Ye Qingyu's mind.

    This seemed to be the only explanation.

    The activation of the bloodline of darkness caused Song Xiaojun's strength to increase tens of times over. Her cultivation state increased horrifyingly fast, but she lost all her memories...

    If it was like so, then this really would be troublesome.

    Ye Qingyu felt somewhat over his head.

    But he could not have any distracted thoughts.

    Because after several consecutive attacks had failed, there was finally a faint shred of impatience that flitted across Song Xiaojun's icy face. Her slender hand formed a dark red lotus-like seal, and instantly there was an endless flame power that began mightily suppressing all around Ye Qingyu. It formed an invisible flame-like prison that bound him within. 

    This time, Ye Qingyu no longer had anywhere where he could evade.

    There was a dim red emotionless light flickering in Song Xiaojun;'s eyes.

    Both her hands pressed together in front of her chest, madly suppressing.

    The wind flames all around Ye Qingyu also followed along, pressing together.

    Ye Qingyu felt his vision going dark, the smell of darkness beginning to spread.

    His heart fiercely thudded. He was about to use his last card up his sleeve, [Flash] to escape, when something unexpected happen.

    There was a black figure that flashed by, the light of a blade striking out. There was a fracture that was created in this flame tide-like prison, and Ye Qingyu felt his limbs losenning. In that crucial moment, he was suddenly brought flying out  by a black figure that had appeared and came to a safe distance.

    He had escaped.

    There was sweat dripping from Ye Qingyu's forehead.

    "This little girl was for real."

    Ye Qingyu let out a deep breath.

    This was absolutely, ever since the first time he had began his journey, the closest he had ever come to death. He did not think that he would encounter this in his meeting with Song Xiaojun.

    He turned his head to look towards the black figure by his side.

    This was the person who had saved him at such a crucial moment. There was a faint black mist covering around his figure, as if he was incorporeal and real at the same time. From his appearance, he seemed to be similar to that ancient mysterious person millions of years ago. The figure floated, holding a curved blade in his hands, as mist and smoke enwrapped around his figure unstably.

    "My thanks, You are?"

    Ye Qingyu gave his thanks as he asked.

    But the black figure did not even say a word. It turned into a blade of flowing flight that appeared in an instant behind Song Xiaojun. The black twin blades of the figure struck towards the black flames protecting Song Xiaojun, directly towards the beautiful white neck of hers that was like a swan, mercilessly.

    An extremely fast speed.

    An extremely vicious blade technique.

    Ye Qingyu's heart fiercely thudded.

    zThe strength of this black shadow was unfathomable. Not only was its footwork technique strange, but for the blades to be able to break apart the black flames protecting around Song Xiaojun meant that he was also an existence at the Heaven Ascension stage. 

    Thankfully, Song Xiaojun's cultivation was also at a state that a normal person could not discern at all.

    In an instant, she lifted her hand, as a black flame lotus appeared. It encircled around her slender fingers, and began to blossom like an orchid. Her thumb and middle finger was like it was holding a petal, as she lightly and easily grabbed the blade of that shadow.

    The curved blade of that black-coloured shadow could not advanced any further.

    Song Xiaojun's expression was calm, as her wrist twisted.

    Without any major noises accompanying it, the curved blade of that shadow was broken apart.

    Then suddenly, in the air, there were a ma.s.sive black lotus flames that appeared after another. The flowers were real and lifelike, with fire fluctuating within, that became the veins of the petals. It headed towards the center from all sides. Such a scene was extremely beautiful, as if the entire process of a flower blossoming was being repeated. A blazing flower bud was instantly taking shape.  

    The black figure was surrounded within this flower bud.

    "[Fire Lotus Annihilation]!""

    Song Xiaojun finally opened her mouth, a crisp shout like jade hitting together. 

    In an instant, that black shadow was being burned and refined by the dark flames.

    As the flower blossomed, there was a faint shred of black mist fluctuating. the dark shadow figure had already completely been refined.

    But there was suddenly a strange colour that flashed across the fair and pure face of Song Xiaojun. Her figure quickly flickered, constantly changing her location, as if she was avoiding something...

    In the air, the light of that curved blade constantly flashed...

    At some unknown time, the black figure had long escape from the [Fire Lotus Annihilation]. The curve bladed figure had long returned to normal, and it struck like a storm towards Song Xiaojun, it's speed extremely fast. It was as if it was a shadow dancing in the air, so beautiful it was fatal.

    ……

    "[An Expert Within The Shadows]?"

    On the number one highest tower of the Imperial Gongfeng location, the one-armed divine nun that had been calmly observing, suddenly lost her composure. There was suddenly an extremely shocked expression appearing on her face, as she let out an exhalation.

    That Bai Yuqing by the side with an curious expression, was taken aback, "Master, do you know of the backgorund of the black shadow? Can he... be able to block a female demon like Song Xiaojun?"

    The one-armed divine nun turned back, looking towards the only disciple that she had taken in a year ago. She could not help but smile, "You little girl, after all, you're worried about that little kid? haha, just now, you were urging me to act, and you say you have no feelings towards the little Palace Lord? Your words really don't match your heart." 

    Bai Yuqing's face faintly reddened. "Master, you are mistaken. No matter what, I am still a citizen of Snow Empire, and Ye Qingyu is the master of the [Light Palace] of Snow Empire. He can be counted as someone on our side, me having concern for him is for the greater good of the Empire."

    The one-armed divine nun shook her head helplessly.

    Bai Yuqing hesitated for a moment, before nearing with a smile: "Master, do you recognize that black shadow?"

    "You little girl, you still don't admit it." The one-armed divine nun looked at her with a benevolent smile. "If my guess is not wrong, the black figure should be the number one expert hidden in the shadows of the legends in the past. In the past, everyone knew that there were five Divine Generals under the command of that War G.o.d. Their strength was unfathomable. But rarely does anyone know that above the five Divine Generals, there was one person that was always hidden in the shadows. He does not have any fame whatsoever, and there was not much people knew of him. But his strength was terrifying. He was like a sharp and slender sword hidden behind the light, it eradicated all obstacles for the [Light Palace]. There was very few people who knew of this legend. In the legends, this black shadow, along with a pair of curved light blades, was like an untraceable and untrackable ghost. His body and blade techniques, were extremely beautiful. When he acts, it was like he was dancing amongst the light, and that's why he was called the [An Expert Within The Shadows]. In the legends, this shadow rarely acts. Normally, it was beside a woman, protecting her. Afterwards, when the [Light Palace] began to decline, this shadow disappeared, along with the five Divine Generals. I did not imagine that he would appear here today."

    "So it was like so." Bai Yuqing's heart could finally rest a.s.sured.

    Since this shadow, was ranked above the five Divine Generals, then it should be able to protect Ye Qingyu----
