Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2548: How About Trading for a Way Out?

If the green hills are kept, there’s no fear of running out of firewood.The Nine-Headed Fairy was well aware of this principle.

She believed that, although the other members of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan could fall, she bore the clan’s inherited Imperial artifact. If she were to fall, it would spell the end for the Nine-Headed Bird Clan.

Therefore, when she sensed that the situation was turning unfavorable, she immediately chose to flee.

As for the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, the Nine-Headed Fairy thought that, as an Immortal Emperor Realm Peak expert, although temporarily trapped by the formation, he would eventually be able to break through with his immense power.

However, once she fled, the other experts of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan would likely follow her lead and escape as well, leaving Antarctica Immortal Emperor all alone. Attempting to destroy Fire Dragon Island and seize the Dragon Scale Armor would then be considerably more difficult.

After all, Fire Dragon Island now had an unexpectedly emerging Immortal Emperor Realm high-rank expert, and another wielding the Blood Blade Imperial Artifact, whose combat abilities were comparable to the Immortal Emperor Realm high-rank experts. Additionally, the other dozen Immortal Emperor Realm experts on Fire Dragon Island could join forces, possessing the strength to rival Antarctica Immortal Emperor.

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor, being cunning and sly, would not likely persist in a losing battle once she escaped. There was a high chance he would abandon the attempt to seize the Dragon Scale Armor.

They arrived with confidence, thinking they could easily claim the Dragon Blood Pool and seize the Dragon Scale Armor, only to be forced to flee under the other’s strong counterattack. It was indeed a defeat. The more she thought about it, the more dejected she became.

The Nine-Headed Fairy fled several dozen miles away in an instant, thinking she was in the clear. Her heart involuntarily relaxed a bit.

However, right at that moment, a figure blocked her path. Before the Nine-Headed Fairy could clearly see the person’s face, she saw them raise a hand, summoning a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm.

The Nine-Headed Fairy narrowly avoided the lightning attack. After taking a closer look, she raised her eyebrows and blurted out, "Nvlei Immortal Emperor? Why is it you? Are you out of your mind?"

Not only did she recognize the Nvlei Immortal Emperor, but they also had a fairly good relationship. It was surprising that he would attack her without a word.

The Nvlei Immortal Emperor remained expressionless. Ignoring the Nine-Headed Fairy, he raised both hands, and more bolts of lightning struck, each stronger than the last.

While launching these attacks, the Nvlei Immortal Emperor continuously absorbed the lightning immortal qi between the heavens and earth. Within a thousand feet around him, more and more lightning immortal qi gathered, and lightning snakes darted around the void, occasionally emitting a "boom" thunder sound.

Trapped in this sea of lightning and river of electricity, the Nine-Headed Fairy felt her movements were hindered.

This feeling made her realize things were not going well.

When she turned back, she saw the expert of equal realm who had previously slashed off half her shoulder was already chasing after her.

As a high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert, the Nine-Headed Fairy possessed a keen insight. Looking at the Nvlei Immortal Emperor once more, she noticed that he and the pursuing expert both had the same expressionless faces and dull eyes that wouldn’t move...

"Puppet corpses?"

The Nine-Headed Fairy’s mind erupted with the thought of a terrifying possibility, and she cried out in surprise.

"Figured it out, huh?"

Fang Bai’s figure appeared in the distant void, watching her with a smile, and said, "That’s right, two high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm puppet corpses. I had to use them against a powerful person like you who possesses an Imperial artifact."

The Nine-Headed Fairy looked at the two high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm puppet corpses blocking her front and back, and the little Immortal holding the Blood Blade with a smiling face. For the first time in her life, she felt fear.

"If you let me go, I promise never to invade Fire Dragon Island again in my life!"

Knowing she couldn’t withstand the combined attack of three powerful opponents, the Nine-Headed Fairy immediately pleaded.

Fang Bai smiled but remained silent.

"This Space Immortal Ring contains many cultivation resources. How about I trade it for my life?"

Saying this, the Nine-Headed Fairy gritted her teeth and reluctantly removed the Space Immortal Ring, tossing it towards Fang Bai.

Fang Bai caught the Space Immortal Ring and, after scanning it with his divine sense, still smiled without saying a word.

"What do you want? If you push me too far, I’ll fight you to the death, leaving you with nothing!"

The Nine-Headed Fairy shouted sternly. The Nine-Headed Fire String Zither reappeared in her hands as she assumed a desperate posture.

Fang Bai pointed at the Nine-Headed Fire String Zither and said, "Give me that Imperial artifact, and I’ll spare your life!"

"Impossible!"

The Nine-Headed Fairy exclaimed shrilly.

The Nine-Headed Fire String Zither was the ancestral treasure passed down from the Immortal Emperor of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan. The Nine-Headed Fairy still intended to use it to protect her people. Without this Imperial artifact, the Nine-Headed Bird Clan could forever fall into decline and might even face extinction in the future.

The Nine-Headed Fairy was unwilling to be the sinner responsible for her clan’s demise.

Fang Bai said, "Unwilling? Then go to hell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nvlei Immortal Emperor and Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor, one in front and one in back, advanced towards the Nine-Headed Fairy, weapons in hand.

These two high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm puppet corpses exuded a terrifying aura, locking onto the Nine-Headed Fairy, leaving her no chance to escape. She had to fight.

Puppet corpses have no thoughts, feel no pain, and once engaged in battle, do not consider their safety. Thus, when matched against the same realm, immortals often find themselves at a psychological disadvantage, leading to a lack of combat power.

In the Nine-Headed Fairy’s eyes, facing just one of these puppet corpses would be challenging, let alone two acting together.

The Nine-Headed Fairy felt immense despair, glaring at the leisurely Fang Bai in the distance with hatred.

On the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s side, he was tightly trapped by the Hundred Slaughter Formation formed by the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor and the thirteen Immortal Emperor Realm experts. Whether he could break free was unknown. Expecting him to come and assist was merely wishful thinking.

Meanwhile, the other experts of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan had scattered and vanished when the Nine-Headed Fairy began her escape, leaving no trace.

Apart from the Nine-Headed Fairy, the other Nine-Headed Bird Clan experts were considered mere "small fry" by Fang Bai, and he couldn’t bother to hunt them down, allowing them to escape freely.

"I’ll fight you!"

The Nine-Headed Fairy shouted defiantly, transformed into her true form, and charged towards Fang Bai, wind and fire swirling around her.

She knew those two powerful puppet corpses were under Fang Bai’s control. If she could deal with Fang Bai, the puppet corpses would become mere lifeless bodies, with no attack capability.

Moreover, compared to the two puppet corpses, Fang Bai’s combat power was the weakest.

Thus, the Nine-Headed Fairy targeted him, thinking it was her only chance to reverse the battle’s outcome.

As she lunged at Fang Bai, she plucked the strings of the Nine-Headed Fire String Zither with her claws, sending a crescent-shaped blade of light slicing towards him.

She knew her opportunity to strike was fleeting. If she couldn’t resolve Fang Bai in one blow, she would be caught between the two puppet corpses, with no hope of turning defeat into victory.

Therefore, in this strike, the Nine-Headed Fairy expended all her strength.

Transformed into her true form as a Nine-Headed Bird, the Nine-Headed Fairy’s combat power was slightly higher than in her humanoid form, so she was confident that even if Fang Bai held an Imperial artifact, he would find it difficult to withstand this strike.
