Chapter 862: Immortal Phoenix
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
So Xu Fan understood very well that to tame the Vermilion Bird, he had to use the same method.First, he had to overwhelm the Vermilion Bird with absolute strength and defeat it face to face, then shake its confidence and “torture” it well before it could be tamed.
Xu Fan himself wanted to temper the spirit of the Vermilion Bird, so he didn’t make a move at all and let it struggle as it would.
Ten minutes later.
The frantically darting Vermilion Bird finally slowed down.
It was no small feat for the Vermilion Bird to have endured up to this moment.
After battling Xu Fan to the point of exhaustion, the subsequent physical confrontation had left it utterly spent, and now, driven by rage, having flown wild with Xu Fan for so long, it had reached its limit.
It no longer had any strength left to struggle!
Xu Fan smiled and raised his eyebrows, knowing the moment had come.
“Oh, not flying anymore?
Then let’s go down!”
After saying this lightly, Xu Fan casually pointed at the back of the Vermilion Bird.
Immediately, the Vermilion Bird felt an overwhelming force, devoid of any strength, and plummeted straight toward the ground.
“Bang!!!”
The Vermilion Bird smashed directly into the ground, creating a deep crater around it, with thick smoke billowing, shaking the earth several times, leaving nothing but scorched earth around it.
“Ah!
You damned human….”
After cursing, the Vermilion Bird could not even lift its head, its body trembling, panting heavily, and wailing in pain.
Its once beautiful and sleek wings now looked dirty and disheveled, many feathers burnt off, even dotted with bloodstains.
The left wing, with horrifying scars, made one wonder if it might snap off with a few more flaps.
In a pathetic and nearly death-like state, it perfectly illustrated the Vermilion Bird’s feelings at the moment.
Xu Fan casually landed beside the huge crater on a massive rock, hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the Vermilion Bird with a half-smile.
“Hmm?
Vermilion Bird, now you can make a choice.”
“Will you submit to me, or choose to fall here?”
Losing to Xu Fan was not actually a disgrace for the Vermilion Bird, as there were very few in the world who could match Xu Fan.
Xu Fan himself was somewhat surprised; only after truly clashing with the Vermilion Bird did he realize just how powerful it was.
This Vermilion Bird had cultivated for countless years and could easily overpower Dongxuan level fighters, even the Immortal Turtle was no match for it.
It was also Xu Fan’s good fortune that this Vermilion Bird had not yet evolved into an Immortal Phoenix; otherwise, Xu Fan might not have been able to subdue it, thus Xu Fan was reluctant.
If Xu Fan really could successfully tame the Vermilion Bird, it would undoubtedly be one of Xu Fan’s strongest assets.
Should that happen, with the Immortal Turtle’s impregnable defense and the Vermilion Bird’s fierce and powerful attacks, such formidable mounts meant he could advance or retreat as needed.
By then, even facing the ferocious Hegemon Emperor Sect, Xu Fan would have enough confidence!
As for Ben Ben, more time was needed; he wouldn’t be of use quite yet.
The Vermilion Bird desperately flapped its wings, but realizing it couldn’t lift them, it could only glare furiously at Xu Fan, a portrait of defiance unto death.
“Pah!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Your Grandpa Huo will never serve as someone else’s mount in this lifetime!”
Xu Fan smiled and persuaded, “Vermilion Bird, don’t rush your decision; I haven’t even mentioned the terms yet.”
The Fiery Flamingo held its chin high, trying to meet Xu Fan’s gaze, but soon realized it was impossible, which frustrated it deeply.
“Impossible, no matter what you offer, I won’t agree!”
Xu Fan knew that after delivering a blow, he had to offer a sweetener, and he said with a smile.
“Though being my mount might not sound appealing, I can assure you that I’ll treat you as a friend, not arbitrarily striking or scolding you.
We’ll live together in peace!”
“Think about it, staying here in the Valley of Nine Deaths, a place where even birds refuse to shit, isn’t interesting.
I am a Patron of the Dragon Group.
You must have heard about the Dragon Group, right?”
“As long as you follow me, I can give you a legitimate identity, allowing you to freely appear in the Secular World and the Ancient Martial World without anyone attacking or even hunting you.”
“Moreover, your talents and bloodline are extremely rare.
I guarantee that if you follow me, I can make you evolve into an Immortal Phoenix.”
Upon hearing these words, the Fiery Flamingo was not tempted at all and was resentful about being enticed with something that originally belonged to it.
If it hadn’t been for him, Vermilion Bird would have already consumed the Crimson Profound Fruit and evolved into an Immortal Phoenix.
Then who in the Secular World or Ancient Martial World would dare touch it!
“Pah!
Shameless human, if it wasn’t for your meddling, I could have consumed the Crimson Profound Fruit and evolved into the Immortal Phoenix myself!”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this situation.
All I want now is to swallow you whole, and you still think I would submit to you, dreaming in broad daylight!”
Xu Fan was secretly pleased to hear Vermilion Bird say so much.
Because as long as it talked, the chances of persuading it increased significantly.
He feared those who stayed silent, for they were troublesome.
“Vermilion Bird, saying you’re as dumb as a pig isn’t wrong.
Do you really think a mere Crimson Profound Fruit could make you evolve into an Immortal Phoenix?”
“You would have at most a fifty percent chance of success.
What if it didn’t work?
Even if you survived, you would be badly damaged!”
“Also, are you truly satisfied with just becoming an Immortal Phoenix?”
“An Immortal Phoenix is only immortal in name.
Against top-level powerhouses, you would still undoubtedly die!”
“If you followed me, I could help you advance beyond the realm of the Immortal Phoenix, whether it’s becoming a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast or an Earthly Demon Fire Phoenix, it’s your choice!”
Vermilion Bird stared at him with wide eyes and an expression that looked at him as if he were an idiot.
“You humans, shameless and brash!
Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, you speak of it so lightly.
Do you even know what a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast looks like?”
Xu Fan raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Just as I thought, Vermilion Bird, you’ve really not seen much of the world.”
The Vermilion Bird snorted coldly, ignoring Xu Fan further.
Xu Fan gave a slight smile, extended his right index finger, and gently tapped the Vermilion Bird’s head.
The Vermilion Bird instinctively dodged, but alas, it had no strength left to even move, let alone dodge.
It could only watch helplessly as a gentle ray of light shot out from Xu Fan’s fingertip, disappearing into its forehead,
Immediately, the Vermilion Bird shuddered all over, then its gaze went blank, its mouth agape.
It was as if it had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
But no…
Vermilion Bird was not at all afraid of ghosts!
After a long while, the blank expression on Vermilion Bird’s face slowly returned to normal, and its gaze at Xu Fan was extremely complicated.
Xu Fan chuckled, “Why so silent now?
Do you admit that you haven’t seen much of the world?” The Vermilion Bird didn’t open its mouth, slowly nodded its head.
The Vermilion Bird, usually full of bluster, finally quieted down, completely silent, then silent
