Chapter 110: A Unique Code

Especially the profound energy wielded by the great phoenix, shimmering with golden light, so dazzling that Baili Tianchang lifted his head to look, nearly blinded by the brilliance.

Suddenly, a golden flame burst forth like a firework, splashing toward Baili Tianchang. Instinctively, he raised his hand to shield his eyes, trying to prevent them from being scorched.

Yet, the golden flames were not stopped by Baili Tianchang’s hand!

The fire pierced through the back of his hand, which shielded his eyes, and the sparks that landed on his face seared the skin painfully.

At that moment, the golden flames tore through the skin of the back of Baili Tianchang’s hand, and a stream of fresh crimson blood immediately gushed out like a spring.

The golden fire that landed on his face burned precisely, neither off-target nor misaligned, scorching the black phoenix-tail butterfly that clung to the side of his cheek.

Baili Tianchang paid no mind to the blood flowing from his wounded hand or the burning sensation on his face. His anxious gaze remained fixed on the battle raging in midair.

Golden flames scattered brilliantly like shimmering smoke.

Within the golden light, Nalan Di Jiu and the great phoenix clashed so fiercely that they seemed indistinguishable from one another.

Suddenly, the little phoenix, which had been tightly guarded beneath the great phoenix’s claws, strained to widen its eyes, its small head twisting and turning as if searching for something.

It sniffed vigorously, inhaling deeply, as if following a scent that intrigued it.

When its gaze finally settled on Baili Tianchang and the scent it sought manifested, the little phoenix could not help but utter a joyful chirp.

Then, it struggled desperately, trying to break free from beneath the great phoenix’s grasp.

The great phoenix refused to loosen its claws, but the little phoenix persisted in its frantic struggle.

Thus began a tug-of-war between the two phoenixes—one large, one small.

In the end, fearing it might injure the little phoenix with its claws, the great phoenix reluctantly released its hold, though with evident sorrow.

The little phoenix flapped its wings ecstatically and soared toward Baili Tianchang.

Neither Baili Tianchang, nor Nalan Di Jiu, nor the woman in red would ever understand that the blood flowing from Baili Tianchang’s wounded hand was, to them, nothing more than the scent of human blood—a mere trace of sanguine energy.

But to the little phoenix, the scent of the blood was utterly unique in the world.

Unparalleled.

Across the vast world, only Baili Tianchang’s blood carried such a distinctive fragrance.

Like a secret code or a signal, the little phoenix detected the scent of the blood oozing from Baili Tianchang’s hand, and only one thought filled its heart: to reach Baili Tianchang’s side immediately, as quickly as possible, without hesitation.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The great phoenix could never have imagined that its beloved little phoenix would recklessly dart toward Baili Tianchang, an ordinary human.

It abandoned its battle with Nalan Di Jiu and rushed to stop its little phoenix.

It had to catch its little phoenix back! It had to prevent it from flying to that human!

This human appeared utterly devoid of any cultivation, yet despite this, an overwhelming aura emanated from her.

Such a person must be cold-blooded and merciless—one who kills without a flicker of hesitation.
