<h4>Chapter 1477: Split the Loot</h4>


    Even so, Feng Xian quashed her anger. The image of a phoenix, wings outstretched, appeared behind her. Feng Xian said, "I have to admit that you''re strong, and I''m not a match for you just yet. By the next time we meet, I''ll have grown even stronger. I hope you can maintain your rxed attitude then."


    The fact that Feng Xian was able to say something like this so calmly was a sure sign that she had a trump card up her sleeve.


    Zhang Lie was certain that he knew too little about the fifth realm.


    Feng Xian had grown considerably stronger since thest time he had seen her, and her physical strengthening technique had even melded into her blood and flesh, developing a truly imprable body. She had even gained powerful mental abilities. Zhang Lie didn''t know how much stronger Feng Xian would be the next time. He knew that he couldn''t let her leave now, even if he had to make use of methods that he disdained.


    Zhang Lie took out Feng Xian''s dudou again. "Again, Feng Xian?"


    Feng Xian stopped short.


    "Ever since you left me, I''ve been feeling lonelyte at night. All I can do tofort myself is to pull out the clothing you left behind. If you try to escape, Feng Xian, why, I don''t know what I might end up doing."


    Feng Xian''s eyes glimmered with killing intent as Zhang Lie threatened her with her dudou once again.


    She was embarrassed and incensed about their initial fight.


    Zhang Lie sped his hands over his heart. "You can leave, Feng Xian, and I won''t stop you. However, I might tell everyone about the night I spent with you. I''m sure many would want to learn about our interactions."


    Feng Xian pursed her lips in anger. This scumbag had to be doing this deliberately! He had somehow gained her innerwear. If word of this was to spread, she would never be able to clear her name.


    Feng Xian stood poised and holy as she marshaled her strength and prepared tounch a killing blow at him. No matter how good her temper, even she couldn''t bear Zhang Lie''s repeated provocation.


    Feng Xian glimmered with moonlight. The moonlight exuded from her andbined with her mental energy to unleash incredible strength.


    A burst of sword energy swept past Zhang Lie, filled with radiant light. Thebination of the moonlight and mental energy was multiplicative; her mental energy unlocked thetent potential in her physical body, and her physical strength augmented her mental energy. The virtuous cycle resulted in an explosive boost to her overall power.


    Thekebed copsed as a terrifying earthquake shook theke.


    "[The Boundless de: the River Lethe]!"


    Pitch-ck gic energy expanded through the battlefield.


    The gic energy looked as though it hade from the abyss, or perhaps from the expanding, limitless universe. Starlight struck the gic energy in a sh of surprising beauty.


    The night sky morphed into a raging sea. Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. The universe itself seemed to shake, as though the stars were shifting positions.


    The surface of the ster sea frothed with waves,yering and texturing it. Auroras hung in the air, veiling the night sky.


    From afar, ster dragons seemed to roar. The pitch-ck dragons were like the night sky made manifest. Thunder and lightning crackled in the air.


    Dragons unfurled their wings amidst a storm of lightning. The auroras stretched on for thousands of miles, so beautiful they captivated the gathered hunters.


    Zhang Lie struck. An underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like ck waves, like a meteor shower, causing the very stars to shake.


    The entire night sky shifted as a thousand ster dragons descended, as though a crack had broken in firmament. A flood that could destroy the world itself rained down on theva.


    The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was as a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.


    The ster sea neutralized Feng Xian''s augmented attack.


    As Zhang Lie''sherworld sea shed against Feng Xian''s sword energy, starlight exploded. Zhang Lie''s ster dragons were obliterated and fell to the ground in the form of starlight. The ground quaked, and theke surged. As the entireke was destroyed, a few silver-dragon lotuses popped out.


    The shockwaves that resulted from the two cultivators forced the silver-dragon lotuses to show themselves and flee as rapidly as they could.


    Otherwise, they would surely be destroyed if they remained in the vicinity of the two cultivators.


    Zhang Lie shouted as he rushed forward in an attempt to catch the lotuses. "You''ve scared my divine nts off!"


    "You dare leave now?!" Feng Xian chased after him furiously.


    She had be truly angry; she no longer cared for these divine nts at all. She struck at Zhang Lie.


    To Feng Xian, killing Zhang Lie was far more important than any treasure she might seek.


    Very quickly, Zhang Lie caught up to the silver-dragon lotuses and recaptured them. He bound them together as they shed silver andbined into a single lotus. It was particrly unusual, with leaves, flowers, and stem all covered in silver scales.


    It was fragrant almost beyond belief—a divine nt with an exceptional appearance.


    Feng Xian shot toward Zhang Lie and unleashed another killing blow. Her sword gave off so much energy that thekewater within dozens of kilometers vaporized instantly, causing an upheaval as water elsewhere in theke surged to fill the vacuum.


    The disturbance naturally caught the eye of the cultivators in the sky; a huge fight was still urring in the distance.


    "Everyone, he''s managed to harvest a silver-dragon lotus. You''re all aware of what a treasure this divine nt is, aren''t you?" Feng Xian shouted, her voice echoing through the heavens.


    "Everyone, she''s the one who has that divine nt. I saw it with my own eyes. She''s trying to kill me to hide that information!" Zhang Lie shouted back.


    He was a schemer, too.


    The cultivators in the air were momentarily silent before they surged toward the two of them.


    They didn''t care which of the two had the treasure; it was clear that one of them did, so they just had to take both down.


    Radiant light shot out from all over. The skies looked as though they were about to shatter.


    A group of cultivators and frightening lifeforms of the realm approached, so many of them in all that it might as well have been a one-sided ughter.


    "[The Boundless de: Dragon''s Wrath]!"


    Guicang unleashed a barrage of sword energy in the form of a ster dragon.


    A dragon''s howl shook heaven and earth. It blocked much of the devastating energy headed their way.


    Zhang Lie was able to defend against the first wave of attacks, but even so, he would be hard-pressed to keep it up.


    Just then, lightning shed through the sky and a howling gale blew.
