Chapter 559: The Desperate Xie Family, the Defense Line of the Aristocratic Family is Vulnerable

The Xu family in Huzhou suffered a devastating disaster and was in chaos. However, the Xie family, the most aristocratic family in Jiangnan, was facing a great crisis of death and annihilation.

Ever since Xie Youming, the head of the Xie family, was beheaded by Chongzhen in anger and the treasures were taken away by people, the Xu family lost more than half of its wealth in that battle.

Although Xie Liming and Xie Xiangming narrowly escaped from Chongzhen's hands, almost all of the Xie family's 300,000 elite soldiers were killed.

After the victory, Chongzhen, together with Zhou Yuji and Sun Chuanting, led an army of two million and began to advance rapidly eastward, successively capturing Suzhou, Songjiang Prefecture and other places in one fell swoop.

The Xie family, whose strength had been greatly reduced, could only lead the aristocratic families who had defected to the Xu family, flee without a fight, and evacuate to the Fuzhou area.

They also have a large number of industries in Fujian, among which the Xie family is one of the overlords of Fuzhou.

Just as the aristocratic families and gentry in Fuzhou, led by the Xie family, were doing their best to restore their own fighting power and consolidate the defense of Fuzhou City, the once-in-a-century war to eliminate practitioners from all races suddenly began!

The first round of attacks alone was led by a group of blue bird monsters with strong phoenix blood, leading tens of millions of various flying monsters!

Without the imperial court's national destiny to drive the original city defense formation, the new city defense formation jointly built by the gentry and aristocratic families in the city is simply not as powerful as the original city defense formation.

There was no suspense at all. When facing a large number of evil birds attacking from high in the sky, the protective formation of Fuzhou City was quickly breached!

The millions of warriors in the city were faced with the attack of tens of millions of demon birds led by a group of top-level demon beasts, the Blue Birds. They were unable to focus on one thing while neglecting the other, and were no match for the enemy at all.

"Third brother!"

Xie Liming activated his own divine weapon, the Wood Spirit Pearl, to protect himself while barely blocking the violent attack of the Blue Bird Demon King.

His powerful divine sense swept around and saw that the human side had completely collapsed. A large number of human cultivators were constantly falling and being killed. He immediately said to Xie Xiangming in the distance, "Go and do your best to organize the elite soldiers and core members of the Xie family, break out immediately, and leave this Fuzhou city."

"This Fuzhou city can no longer be defended."

“Although not many of our core members can escape from the encirclement of these flying beasts that have an absolute advantage in speed, we must at least leave behind the seeds for the future revival of our Xie family.”

However, Xie Liming's idea was good and the temporary decision he made was also good, but the situation on the battle changed drastically again!

"Chirp..."

There was only a sound of a bird singing in the sky, and then a giant spirit bird, which was hundreds of feet in size, suddenly appeared in the sky thousands of feet above Fuzhou City!

It has an extremely slender body and its feathers are blood red. From a distance it looks like a burning flame!
This strange blood-red bird let out a hiss, and its long tail feathers waved, turning into a stream of red light, which suddenly appeared in front of Xie Xiangming, who was about to obey his second brother's orders and prepare to organize some core members of the tribe to leave!

"puff……"

The huge blood-red bird opened its huge beak and a stream of blood-red light spurted out, instantly covering Xie Xiangming and hundreds of family soldiers beside him!
"Do not……"

No one could have imagined that this was a giant bird with a terrifying aura, and the innate magical fire it emitted was more powerful than anyone could imagine.

Hundreds of Xie family practitioners, including Xie Xiangming, were devoured by the bloody flames in the blink of an eye. They turned into nothing, without even ashes left!

It is actually a top-level acquired divine beast whose bloodline has been upgraded to the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix. It is also the true king of this group of tens of millions of demon birds!
Its cultivation aura is even more powerful than that of Emperor Chongzhen, whom the Xie brothers had personally encountered!
This is a top-level acquired divine beast, the Fire Phoenix, at the peak of level six, no doubt about it!
The Nine Netherworld Flame that had burned and devoured Xie Xiangming, the third son of the Xie family, and others seemed to have received a great deal of nourishment, and the power it exuded was even greater than before!
In ancient myths and legends, the innate magical power awakened by the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix clan is so magical. The laws of heaven and earth contained in it are one of the top laws, the "Law of Devouring".

Although the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix's cultivation level could not allow it to unleash even one ten-thousandth of its innate magical power, it could easily kill an early or mid-level sixth-level expert like Xie Xiangming, as easy as taking something from a bag, without any difficulty at all.

"No!"

"Third brother!"

Seeing his only brother die tragically on the spot, Xie Liming was almost going crazy!
Although the three brothers would intrigue against each other like other aristocratic families on weekdays, that was based on the fact that the family was prosperous and they all wanted to obtain a higher status and greater power.

But at the moment of life and death of the family, the three brothers who had received a good education since childhood were united and faced the outside world, which was impeccable.

Contrary to what most ordinary people think, any direct descendant of a noble family with background and foundation is almost always very qualified in terms of cultural accomplishment and talent, and is far from being comparable to ordinary people whose horizons are not broadened.

The real fact is: the lower the level of the people, the shallower their vision is, not to mention any cultural accomplishment. They can only look at the world from a narrow perspective and scramble for various visible benefits.

Once one’s own interests are involved, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends are all fake.

They can hurt any relatives and friends without any bottom line, and in the end get a little advantage without feeling the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, they think they are right and that everything is the other party's fault.

This is the biggest difference between the direct descendants of aristocratic families and the children of ordinary people.

"Chirp!"

After killing Xie Xiangming and hundreds of others, the acquired divine bird Nine Nether Fire Phoenix spread out its powerful divine consciousness and immediately locked onto Xie Liming, a human master who possessed an innate divine weapon.

It felt the aura of the innate divine artifact, and its eyes suddenly lit up!
This is obviously an innate artifact with innate wood attributes. For it, there is almost no innate artifact more suitable than this.

Wood gives birth to fire; this is the law of the rotation of the Five Elements.

Although the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix's innate magical power contains the magical power of the law of devouring, it also has its own fundamental power: the magical power of the law of fire.

There is no doubt that once it kills this human warrior and seizes the other party's innate divine artifact, the Wood Spirit Pearl, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the power of its own innate divine fire. To say that the power of its magical power has doubled may be a bit conservative.

Faced with such a huge temptation, how could the king of birds stay?

All it saw was a pair of large fiery red wings fluttering slightly, and it suddenly appeared in front of Xie Liming.

"call……"

At the same time, it opened its big mouth, and a stream of fiery red light shot out from its big mouth, instantly turning into a sky full of blazing flames, surrounding Xie Liming, who was protected by his natal artifact, the Wood Spirit Pearl!
Endless raging flames and a huge devouring force actually blocked even this area of ​​space tightly!
In this situation, as long as the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix's innate magical power cannot be broken, it will be impossible to escape from here!

"Ah!" Xie Liming could never have imagined that the fire phoenix's innate magical power was so powerful. Under the burning of the raging flames, not only did the shield formed by his innate magical weapon become shaky, but it also seemed to have lost the ability to use its body skills to escape!
"impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

He screamed in terror, "How could a top-level acquired divine beast, the Fire Phoenix, appear in this world?"

"Could it be true that the legendary Li Dingguo has a seven-clawed golden dragon, a top-level divine beast?"

Originally, he still scoffed at the recent rumors about Li Dingguo himself.

It is believed that in today's world, the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth are so strong that it is impossible for any mythical beasts to appear.

It was not until today when he personally faced a top-level acquired divine beast, the Fire Phoenix, that he finally realized: nine out of ten of the rumors about the legendary Li Dingguo were true.

I actually overestimated my own abilities and thought I could go against Li Dingguo. Now it seems that I was overthinking.

In front of the top-level innate beast, the seven-clawed golden dragon, who among the practitioners of the same level can defeat it?

Unless you are like the rumored Li Dingguo, who possesses three top-level innate divine artifacts, you are qualified to face an invincible beast like the seven-clawed golden dragon.

"No!"

At this time, the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix used its extremely powerful innate magical power to burn and break the light shield formed by Xie Liming's innate magical weapon, the Wood Spirit Pearl.

This is not surprising. Although Xie Liming is a genius, he is only in the middle stage of level six, and the power of his innate magic weapon is limited.

Facing a sixth-level peak acquired top-level divine beast like the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix, if he did not have an innate divine weapon to protect him, he would be killed instantly by the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix in the first encounter!

Even so, the magical shield formed by the Wood Spirit Pearl only lasted for a moment before it collapsed.

Having lost the protection of his natal magic weapon and with all the internal energy used up, Xie Liming could only watch helplessly as the blazing flames enveloped him.

A strange devouring force suddenly swept over and burned his flesh, bones, and even his soul to nothing in the blink of an eye. It then turned into a mysterious force that was completely devoured by the flames!
"Chirp..."

The Nine Nether Fire Phoenix's innate magical flame rolled up and tightly wrapped the innate artifact gem, preventing it from breaking through the air and leaving. In the blink of an eye, all the impurities and hidden dangers inside the gem were completely eliminated.

The Fire Phoenix Demon King opened his mouth wide, and while taking back his own magical fire, he instantly refined the Wood Spirit Pearl and made it recognize its master.

"Chirp..."

After unexpectedly obtaining the innate divine weapon he had always dreamed of, the Nine Nether Fire Phoenix was extremely excited. He raised his head and screamed loudly, then led millions of demon birds under his command to launch a brutal massacre of all human practitioners in Fuzhou City!
It has not forgotten that only by killing enough cultivators from all races can this round of catastrophe between heaven and earth end as soon as possible.

This group of mythical beasts bore a great deal of karmic responsibility in ancient mythological times.

If you want to eliminate your karma as quickly as possible, killing a large number of enemies during this great catastrophe is a good opportunity.

Killing the enemy and seizing fortune, for these groups of divine beasts, will only have a magical effect during a great catastrophe between heaven and earth.

If they were to slaughter other groups of practitioners under normal circumstances, not only would they not gain any merit to offset their own karma, but their karma would continue to increase, which would be a loss.

With the successive deaths of the Xie brothers, the head of the Xie family, there were no longer any strong men in the huge city of Fuzhou to stop the rampant spread of birds.

"It's over! We, the noble families who have retreated to Fuzhou, are completely finished!"

"The intensity of the monster attack on the city is so much greater than the great catastrophe of the universe and myriad races recorded a hundred years ago?"

"How can this be called a battle of attack and defense between the two sides? We humans are simply courting death. We can't defeat the attacks of these massive monster birds at all!"

"All the Xie brothers are dead! The remaining practitioners like us have nowhere to escape!"...

Amidst numerous screams and cries, this one-sided bloodbath finally came to an end after an hour.

In the huge city of Fuzhou, almost all human practitioners were slaughtered by the army of demon birds.

It is estimated that the number of practitioners who were lucky enough to escape during the chaos and ultimately survive was less than a thousand!

Fortunately, those evil birds did not attack the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the city. Except for about one million ordinary people who were affected by the battle and died innocently, the remaining large number of ordinary people survived.

However, after the Fire Phoenix Demon King led millions of demon birds to quickly leave Fuzhou City after the war, this formerly prosperous city had become riddled with holes and in ruins.

However, no matter what, the hundreds of millions of ordinary people who escaped the disaster, while still feeling terrified, began the massive post-disaster reconstruction work.

As for the city of Fuzhou, which no longer has any cultivators in it, what will it become in the future?
Just leave time to the future.

It is estimated that Li Dingguo and Emperor Chongzhen would not have thought that at the beginning of this once-in-a-century war to eliminate practitioners from all races, the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, including the Xu family and the Xie family, which had been a scourge to the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, had already met with a devastating disaster.

What is certain is that if this trend continues, within a year, most of the aristocratic families will be killed and their clans will be destroyed.

The few who were lucky enough to escape would be seriously injured and it would take them a hundred years to recover.

The problem is that after this great catastrophe of all races, Li Dingguo will not give the other party so much time to recover and rebuild.

No one had expected that this once-in-a-century catastrophe that befell the heavens and earth and all races would start off so incredibly tragic!
The great changes in the world and the revival of spiritual energy caused by Li Dingguo's rebirth were so drastic that they exceeded the imagination of all the practitioners of all races.

The genius and genius who can finally stand out is the true son of the times and will have a bright future.
