When Feng Xinglie saw that Yu Xiang and the other two were injured, he was furious and roared wildly, "It's just a little bird, and it thinks it can make me, Feng Xinglie, disappear from this world? You're too green. I'll show you who the real evil spirit is."

Seeing her man and best friend injured, yet unable to help them, was an unbearable pain! Feng Xinglie brandished his black dagger and pounced on them like a madman!

Chapter Ninety-Six: Taming the Divine Beast

Feng Xinglie leaped out, taking advantage of the moment when the Blood Eagle swooped down and knocked away Ling Yuxiang and the other person, he took a step forward, one hand directly aimed at its jaw, while the other hand holding the black dagger drew a sharp arc in the air, so fast that only a blur was left, aiming straight at those crimson eyes, showing that he was ruthless and merciless!

Although Feng Xinglie didn't understand what this so-called Blood Eagle was, she knew that the throat and eyes were the vital points of any creature! Just like striking a snake at its seven-inch mark, if you were caught in its vital points, no matter what kind of divine beast it was, it would have to obediently kick the bucket!

Perhaps it was anger, or perhaps it was the focus of his energy on the enemy, but Feng Xinglie could no longer feel the booming sound in his mind!

Seeing Feng Xinglie's terrifying killing intent, which resembled that of a demon from hell, the Blood Eagle couldn't help but tremble with a hint of humanity, actually feeling fear! But in an instant, it revealed its arrogance, which seemed to be rooted in its bones. Its two huge wings were finally retracted, and a look of disdain appeared in its eyes as it looked at Feng Xinglie. Its hard feathers flapped forcefully at the person rushing towards it!

A strong gust of wind blew, and the Blood Eagle's massive body was pushed backward by the reaction force of its flapping wings.

Feng Xinglie was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this beast, despite its enormous size, could react so swiftly! Although he knew things were bad, it was too late to dodge. He could only wrap his arms around his body, shrinking into a ball of true energy to protect himself, and block the attack head-on with the gale!

Amidst Ling Yuxiang and Yao Tianlin's exclamations, Feng Xinglie was sent flying several meters away, covered in dust and grime. Her body ached as if it had been shattered by the powerful wind. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and skillfully dissipated the direct force of the Blood Eagle's attack; otherwise, she would be in far more than just soreness.

In this brief encounter, Feng Xinglie finally gained a preliminary understanding of the terrifying strength of the Blood Eagle. His arrogance vanished, but his haughty demeanor remained undiminished. A faint crimson hue slowly appeared in his cold eyes. He licked his lips, and a violent aura gradually rose within him as he sneered inwardly.

She's been suppressing her anger for too long. Does even a beast think she's easy to bully? If she doesn't take action soon, people will think this real devil has switched careers to become a charity expert!

Seemingly sensing the sudden change in Feng Xinglie's presence, the Blood Eagle, which hadn't had time to take flight again, showed a hint of wariness in its bright, blood-red eyes. Its screeching motion abruptly stopped, and it stared at Feng Xinglie, its beautifully sculpted muscles tensing, revealing its nervousness.

"If you want to play, I'll play with you properly!"

Feng Xinglie spoke fiercely, a wicked smile gradually spreading across her face. Her aura was even more astonishing than the fleeting appearance of the Blood Eagle. She exuded a terrifying sense of oppression, and the domineering aura of a "Black Emperor" was fully displayed on her at this moment! With a sudden step forward, her arrogant power and oppressive force emanated from her. A hint of fear and confusion flashed in the Blood Eagle's eyes. This kind of imposing aura is universal to all creatures! Just like the majestic feeling that the Blood Eagle had given them before.

No matter how long this brief pause lasts, for a master like Feng Xinglie, a mere instant is enough! Her dark pupils suddenly contracted, and she swung her arm with all her might, throwing the cyan dagger swiftly. The dagger left a cyan afterimage in the air, and the speed was so fast that you could hear the whistling sound of a sharp object cutting through the air!

The Blood Eagle merely opened and closed its eyes, and when it looked again, a terrifying, deadly dagger was already flying towards its eyes! It couldn't help but let out a loud shriek in horror, flapping its blood-red wings to strike!

Feng Xinglie had been waiting for this moment. She had almost perfected the art of feinting attacks in combat! Not to mention the Blood Eagle of the Azure Sky, she had never failed against treacherous and cunning people! Taking advantage of the situation, she flashed to the Blood Eagle of the Azure Sky's neck, her hands reaching for its feathered neck like venomous snakes!

When the Blood Eagle of the Void knocked away the dagger used as bait and realized that its vital parts were about to fall into Feng Xinglie's hands, it was too late to save itself! All it could do was flap its other fleshy wing, trying to drive away this terrifying Asura, but its speed was no match for Feng Xinglie's palms, which were filled with internal energy!

With a muffled groan, Feng Xinglie suddenly retreated, curling up into a ball again. He rolled around on the ground a few times before regaining his balance. He raised his head, his handsome face expressionless under his fierce gaze, but his expression was very tense.

The Blood Eagle was also badly injured; its throat was almost completely undefended as it took Feng Xinglie's full-force palm strike! If it hadn't managed to dodge half an inch in its moment of crisis, its entire throat would have been shattered by Feng Xinglie's palm force! At that point, even a Great Immortal would have perished! Even so, half a bone was shattered. If it weren't for the Blood Eagle's tenacious vitality as an ancient spirit beast, it would certainly be unable to move now!

Ling Yuxiang and Yao Tianlin were both stunned. They couldn't cheer, but they struggled to stand up to look at Feng Xinglie. However, due to the thunderous shock, their blood was still churning, and their limbs were weak, so they couldn't move an inch! In fact, they were the two who suffered the most damage from the Blood Eagle. Youying and the others had only absorbed a small portion of the force. They had directly blocked the Blood Eagle's full-force attack, which was comparable to the power of a giant elephant's wings! Otherwise, how could Feng Xinglie have found a way to attack?

The Blood Eagle of the Azure Sky certainly didn't expect that it would suffer a great loss at the hands of a cunning person like Feng Xinglie due to a moment of carelessness. Its loud cries became more and more mournful, like a wail. It no longer had any provocative fighting spirit. Its huge wings flapped a few times quickly, then slammed hard on the ground. It was about to get up and fly away!

"Damn it! Come on, don't even think about running away!" Feng Xinglie cursed fiercely, the metallic scent of her breath fueling her killing intent. She was never one to let a threat go unpunished. Since this Blood Eagle could affect her soul and had suffered at her hands, how could she let it go? If she let it escape, it would surely become a menace in the future! Who knew when that monstrous thing would suddenly appear and screech, giving her a sharp stab in the head!

The mechanism between its chest and abdomen suddenly activated! As soon as the restriction was lifted, three jet-black and blue lights shot out with the speed of arrows drawn at full bow. The Blood Eagle felt a chill in front of it, and fear spread through its mind. It only had time to dodge a sharp blade by using the chest pouch on one side of its body. Two sharp pains came from its huge wings, its eyes turned blood red, and it let out a sharp cry of pain!

Feng Xinglie's mind was clearer than ever at this moment. The sharp sound was no longer a threat to her. She gently tugged at the dark blue rope emanating from her body. Although the diamond-shaped weapon did not directly hit the Blood Eagle's head, it wrapped around its neck like a slippery water snake. Feng Xinglie pulled hard, and with the pull, she leaped high into the air. Led by the long rope, she pulled the dagger stuck in the tree and landed directly on its back!

With its wings severely damaged, the Blood Eagle could no longer break through the dense forest trees to take flight. Feng Xinglie would never give it a chance to leap into the open space. With a punch containing tremendous force, he slammed it into the head, causing the Blood Eagle to see stars. The Blood Eagle cried out in despair and crashed to the ground. The sideways movement of its head finally exposed the vital part of its neck to Feng Xinglie's eyes!

With a flick of his finger, the small dagger was already in his palm, and he thrust it forward without mercy! Ling Yuxiang and Yao Tianlin had also recovered their strength at this moment, and at the same time, they used their powerful palm strikes to rush over and bring the Blood Eagle down on its head!

The Blood Eagle, possessing intelligence comparable to that of humans, now understood that any one of these three forces was enough to take its life! However, it could not struggle under Feng Xinglie's strange long rope and could not help but let out a desperate cry. Feng Xinglie was stunned, and those blood-red eyes, which contained fear and unwillingness but were so stubborn that they refused to beg for pity, unexpectedly fell into her eyes.

A part of his heart collapsed rapidly; how familiar those eyes were! How similar they were to Liu Wuge, whom he had seen by the pool that day! As if possessed, his palms unleashed a gust of wind to the left and right, deflecting the two men's whistling palm strikes!

"Clang!" "Clang!" The four palms collided, and Yao Tianlin and Ling Yuxiang, unable to stop their attacks in time, simultaneously cried out in alarm: "Fierce! (Xing Lie!)"

Feng Xinglie, who was straddling the Blood Eagle, shuddered. She could no longer hold back the surge of heat churning within her. Crimson blood gathered in her throat, and she spat out a jet of blood. Her body swayed and she fell straight to one side!

"Lie!" "Xinglie!" Ling Yuxiang and Yao Tianlin finally managed to control their internal energy and supported Feng Xinglie's now limp body from both sides. Both men had expressions of pain and worry on their faces. Yao Tianlin gritted his teeth and put a pill into Feng Xinglie's mouth. Fortunately, the latter was still able to swallow. After a few breaths, he finally caught his breath.

"How are you? Is anything bothering you?" Ling Yuxiang's breathing was erratic, his voice filled with tension and agitation. He could no longer be angry at her erratic behavior; his face was only filled with worry. After all, he had witnessed this woman's extreme and reckless actions many times before, and each time he got angry at her, he was more likely to die of worry than death.

"I'm fine, don't hurt it!" Feng Xinglie gave a bitter smile. She never expected that she would soften her heart at the last moment. She didn't know how to explain that feeling, but she knew that if she killed this Sky Blood Eagle today, she would probably regret it! Feng Xinglie would never do anything that she would regret, even if it meant risking her life!

She didn't know how to explain that feeling, but she knew very well that it was a feeling that made her unwilling to hurt anyone from the bottom of her heart. Just like with Liu Wuge, it was because of this that she couldn't kill him with her own hands.

She could sense that the Blood Eagle was hostile, which was why it suddenly changed its attack and blocked the fatal blow for her.

"Idiot! Why don't you just tell us to stop? All you do is torture yourself all day long!" Yao Tianlin cursed angrily, but his face was full of pain as he kept using the little internal energy he had left to soothe Feng Xinglie's damaged meridians. He had done this countless times before, so he was naturally very skilled at it.

He spoke casually, but Feng Xinglie didn't want them to suffer the backlash from his sudden withdrawal of power. After all, for a master of this level, stopping a full-force attack would inevitably result in injury.

Feng Xinglie felt the true energy and was filled with mixed emotions, yet she couldn't refuse it. She glanced at Ling Yuxiang with a wry smile, but the latter smiled slightly and gently bit her ear.

"Don't worry, I know how you feel, I won't be jealous."

That being said, when the words "eating jealous things without thinking" were uttered, Feng Xinglie still sensed the sourness in them.

The changes in these people happened in the blink of an eye. From their head-on collision with the Azure Blood Eagle to Feng Xinglie subduing the divine beast, it was only a short moment. The nine Netherworld Guards got up from the aftershocks and quickly gathered at Feng Xinglie's side, their hearts filled with self-reproach.

"My lord...we..."

"You did a great job." Feng Xinglie smiled faintly, giving his actions a perfect score: "In that situation, you were able to make the most correct judgment in the fastest time, and in the most correct way to avoid injury, achieving the best results. I am very satisfied. Don't think that just because you didn't protect them well, you were able to take down this divine beast. Everyone's resistance was immense."

Feng Xinglie's words eased the tension among the humorous group somewhat. After all, they were mentored by Feng Xinglie, so they wouldn't dwell on self-pity and quickly regained their confidence. Ling Yuxiang couldn't help but admire their confidence.

"The Netherworld Guardians are truly your most powerful trump card."

Feng Xinglie smiled proudly: "Of course."

"What are you going to do with that Sky Blood Eagle?" Yao Tianlin asked, catching his breath. He then gestured with his lip towards the motionless creature lying on the ground, still somewhat frightened.

"I'm not quite sure either..." Feng Xinglie smiled helplessly. She had only acted on her own impulses and hadn't considered the consequences of saving the Azure Blood Eagle. She had just instinctively felt that it wouldn't hurt her anymore, so she stopped killing it. But when it came to what to do with it, she really didn't have any plans. "Let's get this over with quickly and put it back in the mountains, otherwise the Qing people will fight me to the death."

As Feng Xinglie spoke, she walked towards the Blood Eagle in the sky, only to unexpectedly discover a hint of submission in its blood-red eyes. How could such a king of beasts submit so easily?

She rubbed her eyes and looked over again, seemingly doubtful…

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Aftereffects

At this moment, the Azure Blood Eagle looked truly disheveled, no longer possessing its former arrogance. Its wings drooped to the ground, its head tilted to the side, and a dark red stain oozing from its sharp beak, indicating serious injury. However, the proud self-esteem in its sharp, crimson eyes had not vanished. Even so, Feng Xinglie was certain he hadn't misjudged; the look in her eyes clearly conveyed submission.

However, the strange feeling that a bird could understand human emotions and even submit to her was something Feng Xinglie found hard to believe.

Examining the wounds on his body, two cold, black ropes stretched out from his wings, their origins leading to the hole in Feng Xinglie's clothes at the chest. The other end of the leather ropes was deeply embedded in his entire wing, the strength of which astonished everyone who saw them.

A sharp, pointed weapon was clearly visible at one end of the tightly bound black rope exposed on the head of the Blood Eagle. It wasn't small; such weapons emerged from three holes running down Feng Xinglie's chest. The other two, capable of piercing her strong, muscular body, were nowhere to be seen. The force involved was unimaginable. Even more perplexing was that Feng Xinglie had no strength left to attack at that time; even throwing hidden weapons requires internal energy. How did she manage to do it?

But since everyone present was a close friend and confidant of Feng Xinglie, few questioned it further. Youming and the others stood quietly to the side, Ling Yuxiang held her with a gentle expression, and Yao Tianlin stood calmly to one side; everything was so harmonious.

Feng Xinglie smiled with satisfaction, readjusted the mechanisms on his body, slowly retracted the black rope, untied the one wrapped around Xue Ying's head and put it back into his pouch, but the two lines on the wings made her frown, and she looked at Yao Tianlin with a wry smile.

"I'll have to trouble you again. I can't get the knife myself. This thing has a barb on it, it can easily tear a piece of muscle apart, it's very sharp, so you have to be careful."

Yao Tianlin glanced at her, then stepped forward helplessly. His lips twitched, and he muttered under his breath, "A personal physician is one thing, but I, Yao Tianlin, a legendary doctor, have actually been reduced to being a veterinarian..."

Meeting Feng Xinglie was the worst thing that could have happened to him! Yao Tianlin drew a sharp curved blade, pressing down on the Sky Blood Eagle, whose eyes were filled with tension and trying to break free, without even looking at it closely. With just a glance, he swiftly slashed at its wing, pulling out the barbed hook along with the black rhombus-shaped weapon.

Perhaps because it had eased his suffering, the Sky Blood Eagle stopped struggling and lowered its head again, its fierceness lessening in its eyes.

Yao Tianlin followed suit, bringing out the strange weapon on the other side as well. Feng Xinglie wiped away the bloodstains below before pulling the mechanism to retract the rope and adding the restriction again.

The thing on her chest was actually what Feng Xinglie had mentioned when they jumped off the cliff at the mountaintop. Her research on these things was definitely not as good as Feng Xingying's, but creating a set of life-saving equipment was not a problem. She was actually quite armed, with small items on her arms, legs, and shoes, but none of them were as insidious as Feng Xingying's.

Seeing that Yao Tianlin had resigned himself to his fate and finished applying the medicine to the Blood Eagle, Feng Xinglie patted its head, which was showing signs of improvement, and laughed, "Go back to the forest. Don't block our way anymore; our horses are afraid of your scent."

At this point, she couldn't help but slap her forehead again, sticking out her tongue at Ling Yuxiang, who had been keeping her under control: "I'm so stupid, I actually talked to an eagle."

Ling Yuxiang didn't reply to her; he just stared ahead in astonishment, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Yu Xiang? You're dumbfounded?" Feng Xinglie waved his hand in front of him twice, looking surprised.

"You're the one who's stupid!" Ling Yuxiang glared at her, annoyed. Who would want their man to be stupid? He pinched her soft waist, raised his chin, and looked directly at the Blood Eagle in the sky: "It understands."

"You're kidding, right?" Turning his head, Feng Xinglie looked at the Azure Blood Eagle that had already stood up, quite disbelieving.

“But I saw it nod and then shake its head,” Ling Yuxiang said. Yao Tianlin, who was also stunned, chimed in, “I saw it too. This Blood Eagle is really so intelligent. It truly lives up to its reputation as the divine beast of the Qing Kingdom, the highest symbol of divine authority…”

Just as Feng Xinglie was about to frown, something surprising happened. The Azure Blood Eagle, quite human-like, revealed a hint of arrogance. It even nodded its massive red head, as if to say, "Now you know, I'm very powerful!"

The group of people were so shocked that they were a little dizzy. They stood around the huge blood eagle for a long time until they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Having regained her senses, Feng Xinglie couldn't help but exclaim, "This world is truly full of wonders! There are even animals that can understand human speech. No wonder they're called 'spirit beasts.' Alright, let's go back." She waved her hand, gently curled the corners of her lips, tugged at Ling Yuxiang and the other's clothes, and turned to leave with considerable reluctance. However, she hadn't gone far when a strong gust of wind beside her startled her.

Still not giving up? A surge of anger welled up in her chest, and she turned around with murderous intent. Ling Yuxiang and Yao Tianlin were also shocked. The two of them rushed to Feng Xinglie's side like lightning, their palms, full of inner strength, poised to strike, watching Blood Eagle's lightning-fast figure warily.

The blood eagle seemed startled and immediately used its two wings to cover its head and jumped backward. Due to the momentum from the forward leap, it lost control of its body and rolled several times, almost turning into a mud eagle.

A gap appeared in the wings covering its head, revealing a small head with a pair of red eyes staring intently at Feng Xinglie, full of grievance. The comical expression made Feng Xinglie feel helpless and amused.

"Yu Xiang, its eyes look so much like yours!"

"Like me?" Ling Yuxiang gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on her waist, and glared at her again: "Are you kidding me? I'm your man, when have I ever been this shameful?"

Seeing his stubbornly refusing expression, Feng Xinglie stopped teasing him and felt frustrated. Ling Yuxiang was one thing, but now even a bird knew her 'weakness'—she was utterly defeated! She walked up to Blood Eagle again and smiled helplessly, "What else do you want?"

Seeing that Feng Xinglie no longer possessed that terrifying aura and killing intent, the Azure Blood Eagle bit the hem of Feng Xinglie's clothes with its sharp beak and rubbed against her body, seemingly to express that it had no malicious intent.

"You want to come with me?" The tone was basically affirmative, judging from its behavior just now. The Blood Eagle's persistence was beyond her imagination. If it wanted to come, she probably wouldn't be able to drive it away! Seeing it nod, Feng Xinglie was in a bind, secretly groaning, "Can't you go back to the mountains?"

Blood Eagle shook its head and flapped its wings, indicating that it wanted to follow Feng Xinglie. It seemed determined to stick with her.

Feng Xinglie was exasperated once again: "What am I going to do? I've suddenly got a little tagalong. How am I supposed to get around?"

"Actually, this is not bad. At least he can help us boost morale, which is very good for Qingli's unification of Qing Kingdom. After all, there is a divine beast. It can compete with the thirty-six tribes of Tian Sha..." Yao Tianlin said, but his handsome eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his handsome face. He realized that he had let something slip and did not continue.

Feng Xinglie and Ling Yuxiang's eyes flashed simultaneously. Both were intelligent people, so they immediately changed their target and kept quiet.

"Do you think this divine beast is something easy to carry around? Once people are involved, anything can happen. While carrying this Blood Eagle might allow us to fabricate myths and legends to boost morale, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. As you said, do you think the Qing Kingdom's theocratic power would so easily hand over its authority to someone else? Everyone has ambition and a desire for fame and fortune. Do you really think they are the children of the gods? When the time comes, he'll probably be the first to step forward and claim to 'act on behalf of Heaven'!" Feng Xinglie scoffed, then continued, "Besides, with it, my identity will definitely attract attention. You can't hide the truth forever; once investigated, it will be impossible to conceal my identity."

It wasn't that she didn't want the spirit beast; if it were just an ordinary bird, she would have accepted it without hesitation. But this was a divine beast of the Azure Kingdom! Accepting it would have too many consequences!

Ling Yuxiang's eyes flickered slightly, and he suggested, "You can let it follow me first, so others won't suspect you. As for other troubles... we're not necessarily afraid of them!" A sharp glint flashed in his phoenix eyes. Ling Yuxiang felt that since they couldn't avoid it, they had no choice but to eliminate it!

The Azure Blood Eagle was quite intelligent. Upon hearing that it could follow Feng Xinglie, it kept nodding its head, which looked quite amusing and made Feng Xinglie and the other man laugh.

"You two are a little bit afraid of trouble!" Yao Tianlin shook his head repeatedly. These two talked a good game, analyzing things with great accuracy. But they still managed to subdue the Blood Eagle!

"I may hate trouble, but I'm not afraid of challenges that come knocking on my door!" Feng Xinglie pointed to the sky with a smug look, as if he wanted everyone to know: "Blood Eagle, fly up! We're going to make a spectacular entrance!"

The Azure Blood Eagle had almost fully recovered. At her authoritative command, it let out a loud cry, its enormous wings spreading as it took flight! Once again, the magnificent spectacle of a hundred birds singing in unison appeared in the sky. This sight made Feng Xinglie exclaim in amazement, "Haven't I just acquired a mobile bird treasury?"

Although he was watching, Ling Yuxiang had gradually calmed down from the impact of the divine beast. His expression became slightly serious, and his slender phoenix eyes narrowed into slits as he revealed a sharp edge: "Lie, although I'm not unhappy, you can't believe it. The arrival of this Blood Eagle is far too strange."

Nodding, Feng Xinglie frowned and continued his analysis, "Of course I have questions. Leaving aside the fact that it's almost extinct, how could such a spirit beast appear in this small forest? Judging by its appearance, it's clearly an adult. If it were in this forest, there should be rumors about it, right? But it just appeared out of nowhere, blocking our path. How is that possible?"
