《Sword Immortal's Rebirth》Chapter 39: Dragon Battles Phoenix (1)
Advertisement
Looking at the dragon swooping down at him, Heifeng Jiansui stared at the beast with cold eyes. The pearl that the dragon was chasing hovered in the sky. Looking at it, it didn’t seem to be a treasure that the dragon possessed, but something the dragon had tried yet failed to capture!
If it were any other occasion, Heifeng Jiansui would have fled away from the life exterminating disaster. However he had just completed his rebirth and thus, he had some cards left to play!
The extraction of the Chaoseed from his body radiated a large amount of pure Chaos energy. Most of it was used in forging Nineprime, and the rest was absorbed by Heifeng Jiansui and Jiuxie’s rebirth as Black Phoenixes, but the remaining energy was spread all over the Ninebless Phoenix Island. Holding out the supreme sword Nineprime, Heifeng Jiansui converged the chaos energy over it!
Meanwhile, Heifeng Jiansui also called on the power of the world. As a scion of the Black Phoenix and the heir to the throne, Heifeng Jiansui could gather some of the power of the Black Phoenix Great World. The energies of chaos and the world effortlessly fused together on the blade of his sword.
Heifeng Jiansui’s aura of a mortal disappeared. Instead the aura of the world and chaos gathered together on him to form a pressure that was equal to the descending Dragon!
“Hmph, so you were simply hiding your aura. Since I am feeling merciful, I’ll let you keep your little life!” Saying this, the golden dragon decisively turned away.
As expected, the dragon was only someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. If it were any other time, Heifeng Jiansui would have allowed its retreat. However, his beloved sword Nineprime which slaughtered gods and immortals in the past was beside him. If he ran from a single puny dragon, what would it think of him?
Seeing the fleeing dragon, Heifeng Jiansui simply smirked as grey chaotic swordlight gathered on Nineprime. This blow didn’t simply have the power of the surrounding world, but also something that was the foundation of the sword: the Swordworld comprehended by Heifeng Jiansui in his past life!

Swing! The arc of swordlight silently cut through the air. The dragon, believing that the puny phoenix would not dare challenge it did not notice the blow. Only the sharp pain of having its wings chopped off reminded the beast of the power of the person he was ignoring!
“You lowly chicken, you dare slice this great one’s wings! I will roast you and your entire bloodline and swallow you to recover them!” At the dragon’s indignation, Heifeng Jiansui only laughed. The body was so fierce, but the soulful voice was of a pure maiden. Who could resist?
Understanding that she was being mocked, the dragon’s fury soared to the heavens. Instead of using her energy to regenerate her wings, she instead focused power on descending to the earth. With her own strength, she would smite the chicken into meat paste!
At the falling calamity that would shatter the Ninebless Island, Heifeng Jiansui didn’t hold back. Black phoenix wings appeared on his back and he shot into the sky!
Seeing this, the only other witness of this event, Ninebless, now Heifeng Jiuxie had her mouth gaping open. Where was the mortal refiner who helped her refine formations and allowed her rebirth disappear? The hero flying to slay the dragon seemed like a different person altogether…

In the sky, dragon and phoenix faced each other. The golden dragon furiously slashed out with razor sharp claws and whipped out with its mountain smashing tail, while attacking with golden flames at the tiny figure that slashed at it. However, it was all futile!
Hahaha! You fat bitch, even if I swing my sword without aiming, I can easily cut your fat body! Meanwhile, you can’t even touch me! Do you regret overeating now!” The dragon’s vast body that could circle around a continent was slashed with countless cuts. While these cuts were superficial and had only destroyed a few scales on its body, its opponent wasn’t hurt a single time!
The shallow cuts weren’t due to the deficiency of power. In truth, the chaos energy gathered by Heifeng Jiansui could slash through the dragon with a single killing technique. The battle until now was all for manipulating the dragon according to his whims, so that the killing technique would strike true!

Angered, the dragon used a technique to condense its body until it was only the size of a hundred metres! Fearsome energy rippled out, as the dragon’s enormity of energy reserves was condensed into a smaller body… This wasn’t simply a supportive technique for changing the physique, but a genuine killing technique!
“Forcing me to use the Coiling Dragon Art… I will certainly kill you and exterminate your bloodline for sure!” With multiplied strength, the dragon tail struck the small figure of her hated enemy, who casually descended to a lower position in the sky, dodging the blow!
“Take this, you fat bitch!” Heifeng Jiansui once again slashed out, hitting the dragon with a swallow cut. But this time, not even a single scale of the dragon was dislodged!
“My offensive and defensive strength has risen! You cannot cut me anymore!” The sweet voice roaring this out caused Heifeng Jiansui to laugh out.
“Well, you are still fat, still slow and still cannot touch me! Nothing seems to have changed!” At the provoking words, the dragon finally lost all semblance of reason and flew down to strike!
100,000 km, 10,000 km and finally 1,000 km… The dragon recklessly descended, uncaring of smashing the island in one blow. However, the moment the dragon entered the space 999 km above the island, Heifeng Jiansui seemed to panic and immediately flew down!
Seeing this, the dragon roared in laughter. Even if the man didn’t have to worry about his life, he would certainly care about his loved ones living within the island!
“You fool! I will certainly slash your island to pieces and exterminate your lineage!” Saying this, the descending dragon’s maw seemed to glow blue as an extreme fire was born within it!
“You are the foolish one, dragon!!!” Heifeng Jiansui threw his sword from the skies, burying the sword and pouring the power of chaos within the platform which acted as the core of the 999 Phoenix Nirvanic Domain! A restrictive sealing force immediately struck the dragon, extinguishing all the flame covering its body and immensely weakening it for a few moments.
Usually, the dragon would not need to even exert his energy for more than a minute to shatter the formations. But this was a battle where the tables could turn within the blink of an eye!
The power of the Black Phoenix burst out from Heifeng Jiansui’s body, causing black feathery wings to appear on his back and razor sharp talons to replace his fists. If needed, he could do a more complete transformation, discarding all semblance of humanity but it was not necessary now.
Like darkness shadowing light, Heifeng Jiansui flew at the sealed dragon. His sharp eyes located the mythical weakness of dragonkin, the reverse scale and talons dug into the beast’s neck, lightly stroking it.
Knowing that he could tear out that dragon scale in a blink and end its life without any chance of retaliation, fear filled the dragon’s crystalline yellow eyes.
“So, some fat lizard was roaring about exterminating my lineage… I wonder how I should respond?” Heifeng Jiansui’s casual words struck the Dragon’s heart. It suddenly began regretting its arrogance in attacking this phoenix.
“So then, tell me how I should respond? Should I tear out the dragon scale, should I tear out the draconic core, should I tear out the heart…” Heifeng Jiansui looked the great dragon in the eyes as he said this, increasing the fear felt by her with every new threat of dismemberment.
Suddenly, the dragon looked Heifeng Jiansui in the eyes. Seeing the phoenix who preferred human form, a desperate idea came to mind.
With a single thought, the savagery of the dragon body was replaced by the slender physique of a human beauty. The body was entirely nude, giving of a beastly presence. The jadelike body, beastly temperament and the natural beauty granted by higher cultivation turned the mad dragon into an absolute beauty!
“As for how to respond… How about we forgive and forget?” The pleading voice of the subjugated dragon seemed especially pleasing to Heifeng Jiansui’s ears.

7780, or: Children of a White Rider
As one war ends, another begins. The year Fastidious: 7780 marks deteriorating relations between the Siralians, devout sailors of the Ordos Canticula, and the Ardalians, matchless fire mages ruling neverending farmlands. In the shadows, Ardalian rebels successfully unlock an ancient magical gate. Their desire? A soldier, immutable, unstoppable, and enslaved. Eli Stuart and his fiancee Patricia Secord find themselves thrown into a strange world. Trapped in a land of hostile magic and alien politics, the two of them must use their newfound powers to make alliances, stop their enemies, and ultimately reunite. However, something goes wrong. In this chaos, as the world begins to unravel in foul ways, something else stirs. Something else found its way through. Author's Note: I will update this story as often as I can. I am quite busy and write this during breaks at work. This is one of those goon-squad stories with a million characters, so "dizzying" might be a good way to describe the energy. Much of what builds up to the first arc happens in the first ten chapters, which are quite long. For that reason, if you have difficulty getting through the story, I understand, though things don't really start happening until Chapter 8-10.
