Chapter 861: Stupid as a Pig
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Hmph!” Xu Fan ignored the shock of the Vermilion Bird, snorting coldly.With his right hand, he seized the Vermilion Bird’s talon and then fiercely hurled it downward.
Instantly, the Vermilion Bird lost control of its body, plummeting downwards, pain throbbing faintly from the talon Xu Fan had just grasped.
“Bang!”
Xu Fan dived down as well, aiming a vicious kick at the Vermilion Bird’s backside, infusing the kick with True Qi.
The Vermilion Bird’s descent accelerated even more and eventually smashed directly into the mountain.
“Not bad in strength.
Become my mount, and I shall spare your life!”
Xu Fan hovered above the Vermilion Bird, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze electrifying as a pale yellow glow coursed over his body, looking down at the Vermilion Bird amidst the dense smoke below.
“Wuah!”
A hysterical screech rose from beneath the smoke, and then, the Vermilion Bird burst forth from the smoke.
Seeing that it was still uncooperative, Xu Fan skipped the talk.
He charged straight toward the Vermilion Bird, which, undaunted, met him head-on, and their battle in the sky grew increasingly fierce.
This time, neither used weapons or True Qi, resorting to pure physical combat.
It was a brutal fight, each punch more ferocious than the last; without the explosive True Qi techniques, the fight was perilously dangerous.
In the blink of an eye, flesh was lacerated, it was normal to lose an arm or break a leg.
The dull grunts and the crisp sounds of breaking bones echoed incessantly in the sky.
Occasionally, fresh blood rained down from mid-air.
Many beasts of the Valley of Nine Deaths craned their necks upward, watching the fierce battle above, each of them trembling with fear…'the fight was just too vicious!
Xu Fan could have easily ended the Vermilion Bird at any moment, but he intended to subdue it, so he did not strike fatally.
Man and bird fought from the ground to the sky, from the sky to the mountain peaks.
Giant rocks shattered, hills cracked, and the land was torn asunder.
The Valley of Nine Deaths was now fractured beyond recognition, the residual force of their battle still rampaging.
The large canyon on the west side was sheer cut from its peak.
The primal forest to the east was now an inferno.
The terrain was marred with unevenness, pits and hollows, and splattered with fresh blood.
Xu Fan hadn’t enjoyed such invigorating close combat in a long while and was progressively more exhilarated as he fought.
The Fiery Flamingo had started off being stubborn, but that defiance was completely crushed by Xu Fan; he was just too formidable!
Finally, after hundreds of exchanges, the Vermilion Bird was struck in the head by a punch from Xu Fan and sent flying into the air.
Then, Xu Fan rose even higher, slamming his elbow viciously into the Vermilion Bird’s back.
With a shriek of alarm, the Vermilion Bird was hammered down to the ground.
“Boom!”
The Vermilion Bird crashed into the earth, creating a large crater around fifty to sixty meters in diameter.
Within the crater, dense smoke billowed, and the Vermilion Bird lay there as if dead.
The pale light that had been streaming around it completely vanished at that moment.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xu Fan cleared the dense smoke from the crater.
Looking down at the crater, Xu Fan saw the weakened Vermilion Bird, a smile curling up his lips as he murmured, “Vermilion Bird, I’ll give you one more chance.
Either become my mount or die!”
“Pah!
To think I would serve as your mount, dream on!
Once I recover my strength, I swear I’ll tear you limb from limb!”
After a furious roar, the Vermilion Bird flailed its arms, and the smoke rose again.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird gathered the last bit of its energy and desperately fled straight ahead!
The Vermilion Bird’s speed was incredibly fast, appearing a kilometer away in the blink of an eye.
Although the Vermilion Bird chose to flee for its life, its heart was filled with extreme unwillingness.
As the King of Valley of Nine Deaths, it had been glorious for hundreds of years, and everyone who saw it submitted.
It was about to evolve into an Immortal Phoenix, but now it had lost the chance to evolve and was beaten to such an extent…'such humiliation.
But what else could it do besides roar in anger and unwillingness?
Its strongest trump cards, the two Fire Dragons, its most powerful secret technique, Burning Essence Blood, and its most proud and robust physique had all been toyed with by this human.
Now, it had no choice but to flee for its life.
And if it didn’t escape quickly, it might not even manage to flee at all!
Xu Fan’s lips curved upward as he chased in the direction of the Vermilion Bird.
One ahead and one behind, the two streaks of light disappeared in an instant.
“Hey, Vermilion Bird, you’re pretty good at this escaping thing, huh?
You must practice it often!”
“Pah, it’s my first time running away!”
“Doesn’t look like it from how skilled you are.
I’ve heard before that the Flame Clan are born Kings, full of nothing but pride.
Why is it different when it comes to you?
Could the rumors be wrong?”
“Easy for you to say, not worrying about a sore back.
If I can’t win and keep fighting, is that pride?
That’s as dumb as a pig!
I’m not that stupid!”
“You’ve fought for so long, yet you still have so much energy to run away!
Stop running; it’s so tiring.
Just stop, become my mount; it’s quite comfortable!”
“Pah!
Dream on in broad daylight, once my strength is restored, I’m definitely going to grind you to dust!”
“Interesting, you actually think you can escape?”
“What?”
The Vermilion Bird felt something was amiss and, upon looking back, realized Xu Fan was within five meters behind it.
The Vermilion Bird’s pupils shrank in fright, and it quickened its pace, shooting up into the high skies!
Xu Fan lazily smiled and sped up as well, directly soaring above the Vermilion Bird, then enjoyed watching the frenzied escape before finally riding on the Vermilion Bird’s back.
With True Qi protecting his body, Xu Fan wasn’t worried about the Vermilion Bird hurting him at all.
“Damn you all to hell!!!”
After bursting out with a crude curse, the Vermilion Bird became mentally unstable, its body shaking left and right with its inner grief and indignation worsening…'this was the first time in its life it was ridden.
It almost fell from the high skies.
The Vermilion Bird, a born king among birds with noble blood and proud dignity, now felt this being trampled underfoot.
Being ridden by a human, at this moment it was filled with grief and despair.
But no matter how grieved, the Vermilion Bird couldn’t win.
So, it had to gather all the little remaining energy in its body to its back, trying to force Xu Fan off with thousands of degrees of scorching temperature.
But soon, the Vermilion Bird realized it was all in vain; Xu Fan still sat comfortably on top, while it was depleting a lot of energy.
Helpless, the Vermilion Bird retracted its energy, continuing its flight in the high skies.
However, the flight was extremely bumpy and exhilarating.
For instance, sudden ascents or descents, or crazy flips in midair.
But all these were still futile; Xu Fan remained steadily sitting on its back, even leisurely closing his eyes to rest.
Vermilion Bird’s little antics had no effect on him.
To tame the fiercest horse, you must sit steadily on its back, holding tight to the reins no matt how much it bucks.
Once you fall off, you lose the chance to tame the wild horse.
