Gu Qinghe's golden sword shot forward at incredible speed, plunging into the black cloud and striking the fire phoenix directly in the chest.
The phoenix let out a continuous, piercing cry of pain as waves of golden qi erupted from within the cloud, spreading in all directions.
Gu Qinghe extended his hand and clenched it tightly. "Break!"
BLAST!
His golden sword wounded the fire phoenix, forcing the monster to open a path for Gu Qinghe and his companions.
The black cloud split apart. All the cultivators pointed ahead, witnessing the moment. Gu Qinghe and the others immediately flew through the opening with ease.
"Let's go too!"
When the other cultivators tried to follow, they were struck by a crushing wave of cultivation pressure. It clearly did not come from Gu Qinghe, but from the fire phoenix itself.
The pressure was overwhelming, freezing them in place and leaving them unable to move.
