Li Dao released his fingers and nodded. With the Cold Moon Sword in his hand, the Sword Saint would not lose to Shangguan Tianyun by much.

A thin layer of frost formed between his middle and index finger. With a swing of his hand, he shattered the ice and fell to the ground.

"I told you, I'm much stronger than you imagined," Li Dao said as he faced the Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint's face was filled with a bitter smile. "Indeed, I never expected that both of us are Grandmasters. The difference between us is so great, I'm afraid you haven't even used fifty percent of your strength yet."

Li Dao smiled and did not say anything. Firstly, he was a supreme grandmaster, and secondly, he did not even use a single ounce of his strength. All he did was reach out and grab the Sword Saint's sword.

However, he could not say those words in case the Sword Saint was too harsh on him.

"Right, the nine dragon stone is still with me!" Sword Saint took out the nine dragon stone from his chest and shrunk it again.

"I've already given you the Nine Dragons Stone, there's no need to return it to me." Li Dao waved his hand, not minding at all about the Nine Dragons Stone.

Sword Saint nodded his head and kept the Nine Dragons Stone away again. Then, he asked, "When do we make our move?"

"The sooner the better!"

Since he was already prepared, there was no need to drag it out any longer. Li Dao's expression was serious. This concerned the path of cultivation and he could not afford to be careless.

The stars in the sky dimmed. Li Dao and Sword Saint stood atop a mountain of swords, their robes fluttering in the night wind.

"Is there really no problem?" Sword Saint swallowed his saliva and his expression became solemn.

"No problem. When I face Fire Phoenix head on, do not hold back when you have the chance to help me!" Li Dao's expression was even more serious than the Sword Saint's. After all, he was a legendary being.

"Let's go," said Li Dao as he walked into the narrow passageway.

The Sword Saint gripped the Cold Moon Sword tightly in his hand and followed behind Li Dao into the passageway.

Normally, the Sword Saint would walk through this narrow passageway, but today, he was especially nervous. Normally, he was here to supervise the forging of the Lingshuang Sword, to keep the fire phoenix well at bay. But today, he was here to slaughter the phoenixes, which was the same as not giving up until one was dead.

The narrow passageway was extremely deep, and the air was dry. The dark red mountain wall gave a terrifying contrast to the atmosphere.

After passing by the Sword Crafting Stone and the Sword Family Tomb, Li Dao and Sword Saint arrived in front of the scorching lava lake.

Although it was called a magma lake, it actually wasn't that big. It was more suitable to call it a pond.

Bubbles bubbled out of the magma, a dark red color. The terrifyingly high temperature could scorch an adult male to the point of fainting.

Staring at the calm lake of lava, Li Dao could clearly feel the terrifying aura of hibernation underneath. Sword Lord could also feel it. His right hand gripped the sword hilt, his knuckles turning white from overexertion.

Li Dao exchanged a glance with the Sword Saint before he said, "I'm going to make my move. Step back a little."

The Sword Saint felt his lips go dry. He retreated a few hundred meters and said, "You be careful. If you can't do it, don't force yourself."

Li Dao didn't say anything. He lightly pulled out his long sword, and under the reflection of the magma, the purple blade appeared to be very beautiful.

An imposing aura soared into the sky and a cyan sword aura pierced through the magma, separating the magma.

The lava was pierced by the cyan sword aura and flowed in two directions. It splashed onto the shore, burning holes in the rock and soil and emitting black smoke.

Two seconds later, the lava began to boil, as if there was a flood dragon stirring below.

A powerful aura surged, scaring the Sword Saint so much that his face turned pale. His hands gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and his lips were dry and cracked.

Li Dao stared intently at the rolling lava lake. Sharp sword Qi flowed through his meridians and his entire body was as sharp as a sword.

With a boom, the magma burst apart and scattered in all directions. Huge shadows rushed out from the magma with wings spread wide open to the size of a house.

Its fiery red feathers were malevolent, and its pair of long and narrow eyes were firmly locked onto Li Dao. Its two claws were extremely sharp, and they didn't look beautiful at all. On the contrary, they looked extremely ferocious.

"This is the Fire Phoenix!"

The Sword Saint's words were not even as quick as before as he was drenched in cold sweat from the intimidating aura the Fire Phoenix gave off.

Li Dao didn't show any weakness as he met the eyes of the fire phoenix. Killing intent filled his eyes and the image of a green lotus appeared, about to split the heaven and earth apart.

"Squeak!" Squeak! Squeak! "Squeak!"

Fire Phoenix let out an angry cry, as if it was questioning why she was disturbing its sleep.

Li Dao raised his hand and struck out with his sword. This Fire Phoenix really did have intelligence. After living for so long, it would be strange if it did not have intelligence.

However, now he was certain that this phoenix was not pure-blooded, and might only have a trace of the weak Phoenix bloodline. It could be called a phoenix, but it was more suited to be called a phoenix or phoenix.

It was recorded in the ancient texts that the phoenix cries and the Qi Mountain could be heard resounding loudly. The phoenix's cry should have been sonorous, not creaking.

The violet sword blade exuded an azure sword aura that was ten feet tall and incomparably solid.

Fire Phoenix did not dodge. Her sharp beak directly shattered the cyan sword aura, and with a flap of her wings, she dove down towards Li Dao with a sky overflowing flame.

Li Dao coldly watched as the fire phoenix swooped down. His entire body was emitting a faint golden luster. He stomped his feet on the shattered rocks as he ruthlessly hacked towards the phoenix.
