The body of the Divine Phoenix trembled violently!

"Lin... Lin Fan..."

The voice was also trembling.

A pair of eyes almost bulged out, as if they would fall to the ground, quite terrifying.

She stared fixedly, without blinking, unflinching.

After taking a deep breath.

The Divine Phoenix began to pant heavily, one breath after another, as if she couldn't breathe enough air.

Her chest felt as if it had been hit heavily by a punch.

It skipped a beat.

Suffocation spread.

Everything around seemed to have stopped.

The air stopped flowing, time stopped moving, even Lin Fan and Lan Zhengqing stood still in place.

No one knew how much time had passed.

The Divine Phoenix finally came to her senses, yet she still couldn't believe the scene before her.

"This... this is... how could... Lin Fan... Lin Fan?!"

As if waking from a dream, she suddenly rushed forward, her fists pounding on the ice wall, each blow causing the Frost Sky Formation to tremble incessantly.

For a moment, Lan Zhengqing felt that the Divine Phoenix was about to break through the Frost Sky Formation, on the brink of collapse.

However.

The Divine Phoenix ultimately did not break through the Frost Sky Formation, and after a series of fierce strikes, she gradually calmed down.

She collapsed in front of Lin Fan, looking weak and feeble, with tears welling up in her eyes, dropping pattering down like rain.

"Lin Fan... Lin Fan... Lin Fan..."

"What happened to you... how did you become like this... wake up... please wake up..."

"I don't want you to save me... I don't want... go, quickly leave!"

"Get up... quickly leave here... don't come to save me..."

The Divine Phoenix cried, roared, and wailed, never having been so sorrowful, as if all her tears of this lifetime were flowing out.

She finally understood what it means to feel heart-wrenching pain.

This is what it feels like.

The heart seemed to be sliced away piece by piece by a knife.

Fragmented.

Lin Fan lay right in front of her, bloodied, without arms, unconscious.

No matter how she cried and shouted, Lin Fan did not move a muscle.

"Lin Fan... can you hear me... Lin Fan..."

Lan Zhengqing watched the scene, and instead of being moved, he sneered darkly.

"Relax, he can't hear you. He's already unconscious, how could he hear your voice? Stop deluding yourself, one foot of his is already in Hell."

The Divine Phoenix glared viciously at Lan Zhengqing, instantly infuriated, pouncing at him like a fierce tiger, only to be blocked by the ice wall.

"Lan Zhengqing! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

"Do you have what it takes?"

Lan Zhengqing provocatively raised his eyebrows, smiling faintly, casually throwing Lin Fan, who was like a dead dog, backwards as if tossing a bag of garbage.

The Divine Phoenix was shocked upon seeing this and hurriedly lunged towards Lin Fan. But no matter how she looked, she couldn't see Lin Fan, her view just blocked.

All that was left on the ice wall was the blood of Lin Fan.

She wobbled as she reached out, touching the bloodstained spot on the ice gently.

"Lin Fan... how could you... why did you have to... why did you have to come to save me... I harmed you... I shouldn't have... shouldn't have come to Wenyu City... shouldn't have trusted this beast!"

A fierce and brutal gaze shot towards Lan Zhengqing.

At this moment.

The Divine Phoenix wished her gaze was a dagger, capable of stabbing straight into Lan Zhengqing's heart.

But reality was cruel.

Lan Zhengqing, far from being intimidated by the Divine Phoenix's glare, instead showed a sinister, mocking smile.

Furthermore.

He clapped his hands in applause!

Arrogant!

Reckless!

Rampant!

Shameless!

"Touching, so touching! Such genuine emotion is truly moving. Lin Fan disregarded everything to save you, now he's about to lose his life. And a person who is sealed within the Frost Sky Formation, who can never come out for all eternity, is worrying about Lin Fan's life. This kind of affection, is truly too moving. It almost makes me want to cry."

However.

Lan Zhengqing wasn't crying at all, he was even laughing.

Maniacal laughter!

Unbridled laughter!

He didn't care about Lin Fan and the Divine Phoenix at all, his intent was to anger them by any means, to mock them!

Miserable ants, what right did they have to be slain by his hand.

It would dirty his hands.

The hands of a noble prince of the Water Clan, how could they be used to kill ants!

A waste of talent.

But.

When he had no choice but to do it himself, he would think of every way to humiliate them before ending their lives with ease.

One would turn into a blood mist, the other eternal and indestructible.

Interesting, hahaha! Truly interesting!

Lan Zhengqing couldn't help but laugh, it was a laugh from the depths of his heart.

The Divine Phoenix's face was stern as she stared fixedly at Lan Zhengqing's bright smiling face, feeling an unexpected calmness within.

Expressionless, stern like ice.

Lan Zhengqing laughed for a while, then realized that the Divine Phoenix showed no particular expression, neither angry nor upset.

He stopped smiling.

He pursed his lips, raised an eyebrow.

"What, you don't like me?"

"Lan Zhengqing, don't be carried away with your success."

"Oh, threatening me? A trivial ant dares to threaten me. Have you forgotten, your life is in my hands, and so is Lin Fan's life."

"You will face retribution."

"Hahaha! Maybe, maybe one day I will face retribution and die. But your dear Lin Fan, he has to die now."

Lan Zhengqing's cheek twitched viciously. Although his voice still had a teasing tone, his eyes flashed with a fierce cold light.

He was angry.

Not because of the Divine Phoenix's words, but because of her attitude.

What made an ant fit to challenge him?!

What made her able to speak to him with that attitude?!

What right?!

Lin Fan, must die, now! Immediately! Instantly!

Lan Zhengqing's lips slightly curled up, forming a sinister cold smile.

In an instant!

He transformed into a blur.

When he reappeared, one hand was clutching Lin Fan's neck, in the other hand a sharp hand blade had appeared.

The Divine Phoenix's eye twitched slightly, she clenched her fists, silent.

"Didn't you want me to try? I'll show you now, see if I dare to kill Lin Fan!"

"This is my turf, killing an ant is a piece of cake, no one will ever know. And you are sealed in the Frost Sky Formation, don't ever think of coming out." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"So, nobody knows about this place, nobody knows what kind of person I am."

"The retribution you speak of won't happen."

Lan Zhengqing paused, leaned in, with a sinister grin.

"Sorry to disappoint you."

"Now, just enjoy watching Lin Fan disappear before your eyes."

As he spoke, he pressed Lin Fan's head against the ice wall.

The hand blade scraped across the ice wall, making a chilling sound, leaving a long mark, inching closer and closer to Lin Fan's neck.

Lan Zhengqing had now changed his mind, he wanted the Divine Phoenix to pay the price for her words!

That was to make her watch helplessly as Lin Fan died bit by bit.

And after thoroughly shattering the Divine Phoenix's spirit, he would turn Lin Fan into a pool of blood mist.

The sharp blade was already on Lin Fan's neck.

A gentle slice.

And blood would splatter everywhere.

"The show begins," Lan Zhengqing said eerily.
