Now that his clouded heart was resolved, Qian refocused his attention on the two morons in front of him. Even if the sacrifice he made was necessary, he still wasn’t happy about it and these two imbeciles were the culprits. Thinking till here, Qian found that he really needed an outlet for the injustice he suffered.

His dark phoenix eyes locked on his targets and the thick murderous intent coming from Qian permeated the entire stadium. Those with a weak heart fainted on the spot while others were sweating profusely.

Suffering the worst from the phoenix’s wrath were the warrior snow mermaid and Ming who happened to be the closest to Qian. The intense killing aura almost made their knees buckle and if Ming didn’t have his mermaid holding him up, he would have dropped to the ground and kowtowed to the mighty phoenix — now that would have been a whole new level of shame!

Disdained filled Qian’s eyes when he inadvertently looked down and saw the naked Ming with his little weenie hanging out. Seriously, this human has such a tiny penis and he dares jiggle it around in public? Are all humans this small or are only the males from the Huang family a special case? Even in my phoenix form, I am manlier!

Under those disdainful gaze from the legendary phoenix, even Ming could feel he was being despised and awkwardly tried to cover his private part. What was wrong with his penis being soft and small right now? It was not like he could get a boner in this situation, so why would his dick be big in the middle of a fight? No woman from the brothels he visited ever complained before! Clearly the phoenix was nitpicking!

The warrior snow mermaid wanted to console her master, but the belittling look she received from Qian made her want to claw his eyes out as anger flared in her heart. What was up with his expression just now when he looked at her breasts? Can his phoenix eyes not see how all the other men were drooling over her ample chest?

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the warrior snow mermaid’s chest. It was just that Qian didn’t find it to be anything special even if she was pushing out her ample cleavage with nothing but a bikini top on.

This kind of blatant disregard from Qian had unintentionally dealt a critical blow to their self-esteems. In a fit of anger, the warrior snow mermaid tried to launch another glacial arrow toward Baihe, but how could Qian allow such thing to happen again?

In a flash, a huge phoenix aegis was erected around Baihe to protect her from any incoming harm. Spreading his powerful wings, Qian glided in the air and made a 360° rotation around the opponents as he shot out a red beam of laser on the ground. The arena platform split wide apart, leaving Ming and his mermaid stranded on a mini circular shaped island.

From the rifts of the fractured ground, Qian released a stream of hot, boiling lava from his mouth. The bubbling liquid melted away all of the remaining ice as the temperature of the entire stadium rapidly started to rise.

Ming wanted to use qigong to jump across the arena platform rocks, but every time he or his mermaid attempted to, the stream of lava acted like an erupting volcano, shooting up magma geysers. It was almost eerie how the magma geysers had such good rapport with one another, always erupting at the perfect moment in all the right places.

The two weren’t too far off from their inference. The magma geysers did had eyes — the eyes of the phoenix. After all, the behavior of the magma geysers were entirely controlled by Qian and he made sure to block off every available exit to slowly roast the two despicable creatures inside to death.

Many from the audience were starting to become uncomfortable due to the extreme heat coming from the lava pool, but none of them were willing to miss out on watching the spectacular show with their own eyes. This was their first time witnessing a godly beast in action. To see one of the Feng’s landmarks getting melted to the ground and turning into mini volcanic islands surrounded by pools of lava made everything worth it. This was an experience money couldn’t buy!

The crowd fought against the discomfort of the robes sticking to their skin and ignored the sweat drenching them from top to bottom. Occasionally, one could see them lift a hand to wipe the sweat rolling down their lashes.

Back on the now rocky, volcanic platforms, Ming was beginning to panic and his heart thumped loudly when he saw the phoenix take flight into the air with his talons stretched as the bird headed in their direction. Instinctively, right before those claws reached him, Ming pushed the warrior snow mermaid forward to block the attack.

Qian didn’t care which one of them he grabbed because he’d grown tired of waiting for them to be slowly roasted. Delay gratification wasn’t the type of therapy he was looking for when Qian knew he wouldn’t be able to last much longer. He needed to see the two of them suffer before his time was up.

With the warrior snow mermaid plucked from the ground, he released his talons as he flew over the lava pool and dropped her straight down into the bubbling liquid. An ear-piercing shriek was heard followed by a loud splash as the fish plopped into the sea of lava.

“Say monkey girl, how about some mermaid sushi for tonight?”

Finally hearing that sarcastic, snarky voice again, Baihe released the breath she had been holding all this time and a real smile bloomed on her face, stunning the crowd into silence with her natural beauty.

From the corner of her eyes, Baihe saw the warrior snow mermaid creating blocks of ice as stepping stones to escape the lava pool while Qian was distracted talking to her. Baihe got to give the mermaid credit for her nimble speed as she flopped across each ice block fast enough before it was swallowed by the lava.

A slow smile lifted at the corner of Baihe’s mouth as she waited till the mermaid almost made its way back to Ming before making her move. “Listen bird, your therapy session is up, now it’s my turn.”

The phoenix looked askance at her suggestion, but didn’t say anything. Taking that as his silent agreement, Baihe gathered some of the spiritual energy she managed to restore and aimed three shimmering needle threads toward Ming’s specific acupuncture points, causing him to suddenly stumble forward on the edge of the circular island and drop into the bubbling pool of lava.

Right at the last second, the warrior snow mermaid scarified herself and caught her master’s body with her long tail before whipping Ming back to safety onto the circular platform as she herself was once more boiled by the scorching molten lava. Pitiful wails could be heard coming from the mermaid as the scales on her tail fin began to crack and sizzle.

This was all within Baihe’s calculation based on her observations of how loyal the warrior snow mermaid had been to Ming. The smile on her face widened as Baihe once more sent out three sharp needle threads to prick Ming’s acupuncture points on his legs, resulting in another joint reflex reaction as he tumbled forward into the lava pool.
