"What ? what kind of monster is that?" Staring blankly at the Three-legged Demon Bird that was emitting a terrifying aura, Zhou Yan stood dumbstruck at the entrance of the cave, as if he couldn't feel the heat wave that was pouncing on him.

Li Si also mechanically shook his head but didn't say a word. He didn't know why, but a thought suddenly popped into his mind. This Three-Legged Monster seemed to be even more terrifying than the legendary Mysterious God Bird that protected Nan Rong.

Its entire body did not seem to have a physical body, just as if the entire body of the bird was made up of golden flame waves. The raging flames on its arm did not stop even for a moment under the lightning light, but the flames seemed to become even more ferocious.

Before long, it had been vaporized into nothingness by the terrifyingly high temperature. A wave of golden flames rose from its huge fiery beak, and a pair of strange golden eyes stared angrily at the rolling clouds in the sky. With a sudden sharp cry, it opened its mouth, and a golden flame pillar appeared, wrapping itself around the previously vast lightning.

"This ? this is the Ancient Demon Clan's overlord, the Three-legged Golden Crow!" Xiao Mu Chen's old eyes stared at the Three-Legged Golden Crow with shock in his eyes. He stuttered as he muttered to himself, "Ju, it's actually the Three-Legged Golden Crow!"

The soldiers didn't seem to hear what Xiao Mu Chen said and just stared blankly at the strange golden flame bird, cold sweat dripping down their bodies.

"Golden Crow?" The already exhausted Qingyang suddenly felt a surge of warmth. It was as if his parents were holding him in their arms, no longer having to worry about anything, no longer having to face anything.

As if hearing Qingyang's words, the Three-legged Golden Crow turned its head and looked warmly at Qingyang. The emotions within its eyes were extremely complicated, like it was feeling gratified, excited, and heartbroken.

"Ying!"

The surging flames seemed to have dispersed quite a bit of the thick clouds, and the entire sky was now a fiery red color. The wrapped lightning pillar also gradually weakened, but the lightning glow, which was struggling futilely within the golden prison, was unable to break free in the slightest.

Qingyang violently shook his head and lifted his head to discover that he was being protected by the Three-legged Golden Crow. He was also slightly stunned for a moment, and then immediately recalled what had happened after careful thought.

Just now, he had forcefully withstood the second bolt of lightning and discovered that not only was the power of the heavenly lightning much stronger, it seemed to be even fiercer. Fortunately, Qingyang's body also possessed the power of lightning, so the injuries he received were not too significant.

However, even so, Qingyang still gave the heavenly thunder a befuddled look, and with the addition of the immense pressure from the heavenly might, Qingyang became a little dazed, suddenly feeling like a golden flame was flying in his mind. In the entire world, only the golden flame was attracting Qingyang's attention and gaze, and nothing else, not even the silver lightning gradually faded out of Qingyang's line of sight.

It was also at this moment that the Three-Legged Golden Crow suddenly appeared to protect Azure Sun. It stood side by side with the second clap of thunder, spewing out a surging golden flame that engulfed the lightning. It was only after a while that Azure Sun finally woke up from his muddled state.

He caressed the flames on the Three-legged Golden Crow and felt the warmth coming from it. The injuries on his body healed a bit, and Qingyang's heart trembled as he said softly, "I have never seen you before. You are the one who saved me first."

"Ying!"

As if responding to the Azure Sun, the Three-legged Golden Crow turned its head to look at the Azure Sun, no longer caring about the churning thunder pillar.

Actually, Qingyang didn't understand what this Three-legged Golden Crow was. What was his original body? Or was it formed from his three souls and seven souls?

However, there was no need for Qingyang to think too much into it. With a kind smile, Qingyang took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Let me deal with the last bolt of heavenly lightning. How will I grow under your protection?"

Perhaps it was due to their mutual understanding that the Three-legged Golden Crow nodded and let out a cry towards the sky, as if it was saying something to the lightning in the clouds. Then, it suddenly turned into sparks and scattered in all directions.

However, just as the Three-legged Golden Crow left, a trace of enlightenment suddenly appeared in Qingyang's heart. Perhaps this Three-legged Golden Crow was him, in another form.

"This ? this is too shocking. I never thought that this kid would actually be able to summon such an ancient beast!" Xiao Mu Chen said in a stunned manner as he looked at the sparks that filled the sky.

"Old man, you don't have to be that surprised. Maybe this strange bird is Mr. Yang Chou's energy." A man at the side glanced disdainfully at Xiao Mu Chen. However, he immediately looked at Qingyang with an expression of worship.

Xiao Mu Chen didn't care about the disrespect in that man's voice. He was still immersed in the shock that the Three-legged Golden Crow gave him. Was it formed from energy? What a joke, if it was really the Azure Sun energy, then it would at most be the imposing manner of the Great Void Sect.

However, the aura that the Three-legged Golden Crow gave off just now was far from what Xiao Mu Chen could endure. To put it mildly, Xiao Mu Chen even had the urge to kneel down and worship it.

"Li Si, did you see that? This is the Lord whom we serve. " Turning his head excitedly to look at Li Si, Zhou Yan could no longer care about breaking his arms, and said while trembling.

Li Si swallowed his saliva and suppressed the shock in his heart, nodding his head without denying. Indeed, not only was Qingyang mysterious, he was powerful, and more importantly, he treated his soldiers with kindness. It could be said that he was a rarely seen lord.

Although Qingyang knew that the sudden appearance of the Three-Legged Golden Crow would definitely shock the people in Soaring Wind Valley, he did not expect it to shock them so much. However, he did not have the time to think about how others would view the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

After all, according to common sense, each bolt of lightning was more powerful than the last. If the second bolt of lightning wasn't protected by the Three-legged Golden Crow, one would likely be seriously injured even if they didn't die.

"Hmm? Weird, the heavenly might in this thick cloud seemed to have decreased by quite a bit? Could it be because of the appearance of the Three-legged Golden Crow? " Looking with astonishment at the rolling thunder light in the thick clouds, Qingyang carefully felt it and discovered that it was much weaker than before.

The thick clouds seemed to have converged quite a bit, and the Heavenly Might that descended was no longer able to suppress Qingyang's mind. However, looking at the way the lightning was surging, it was likely that it was not that easy to resist.

Before Qingyang could think too much, a bolt of lightning fell down. It was no longer as fierce and imposing as it was before, but a bowl-sized bolt of lightning directly smashed into Qingyang's head!
