Chapter 539: Flower Bud Sword Guards
Gao Yu Yan responded crisply.
This made Wu Hen somewhat uncomfortable.
The Phoenix Bees, burning like rolling Fire Clouds, could no longer pose a threat to Gao Yu Yan, who had unlocked three genetic links. After clearing the vanguard of the Phoenix Bees, she directly flew towards the valley Wu Hen had mentioned.
Seeing this human invade their nest, the Phoenix Bee army changed direction and flew back to the Giant Flower Queen to protect their queen.
The gigantic flower resembled a bloated pregnant woman, its entire body embedded in the valley. The flower stamens were like the elongated necks of Immortal Crane heads, and as Gao Yu Yan charged toward the valley, these flower-stamen cranes emitted piercing cries.
The Phoenix Bees clustered into a wall, blocking Gao Yu Yan's advance. The flames from their wings varied in color according to their class, and soon, entire Fiery Flame Forests floated above the valley.
Gao Yu Yan first rushed into the Blue Phoenix Bee Forest. Her speed remained swift, and only her afterimage could be glimpsed in the air. Often, her position could only be judged by the shattered Phoenix Bees.
With the valley engulfed in burning flames, Wu Hen could no longer see the battle scene, only knowing the Phoenix Bee army was on high alert. The Phoenix Bee Strategist, due to the changing situation, appeared above the Phoenix Bee army and kept vibrating its wings to release the Phoenix Bee clan's special signals.
These signals could quickly convey to tens of thousands of the Phoenix Bee Clan, with clear orders to dispatch different classes of Phoenix Bees for battle deployment.
However, as Gao Yu Yan swept through with unstoppable momentum, this strategist Phoenix Bee began to panic. Originally, it was like an elegant conductor, coordinating the clan in unison through wing frequency. This full-scale military onslaught was akin to an artistic performance for this noble Phoenix Bee class, releasing hormones similar to human dopamine for pleasure... But the situation turned swiftly against them. The once-mighty clan suddenly fell into disarray, its brain working rapidly, the multiple wings almost smoking from flapping too much. The resulting commands were chaotic and repetitive.
Gao Yu Yan had just crossed the first Blue Phoenix Bee flame forest when she saw the Crimson Flame Phoenix Bees collide with each other. Initially, they interwove perfectly, forming a clan fire barrier over the valley like a loom. Due to an error in instruction from the Phoenix Bee Strategist, a few milliseconds of deviation caused thousands of Phoenix Bees to crash into each other, leading to a chain reaction in the air. The Crimson Phoenix Bee group disintegrated before Gao Yu Yan even launched an attack!
The Valley Flower Queen trembled with rage, suspecting its fed Phoenix Bee nobles had honey syrup for brains, making such foolish mistakes at critical times.
Without the Crimson fire barrier, the Valley Flower Queen had to face Gao Yu Yan alone.
Gao Yu Yan emitted mysterious energy, which pulsed outward at the rate of a heartbeat, forming a chaotic ripple that repelled the Phoenix Bees trying to approach her.
The Phoenix Bees couldn't approach Gao Yu Yan, and she fell into the valley, striking at the Valley Flower Queen with palm power. The palm power released the same chaotic ripple, like sharp energy blades, sweeping towards the massive Valley Flower life form.
The Valley Flower Queen shook its stamens, and the stamen cranes all raised their flexible necks, quickly intertwining into a massive Immortal Crane Flower Sword Formation to fend off Gao Yu Yan's energy blade.
Gao Yu Yan was somewhat surprised. Just moments ago, the stamens appeared flexible, yet suddenly they had transformed into a menacing sword formation. Now, she felt like she had accidentally stumbled into a Jianxuan Mountain Villa, battling countless Flower Sword Disciples instead of a peculiar giant flower life form.
The sword flower buds were dense, surrounding Gao Yu Yan in the valley. They, like the Phoenix Bees, could instantly change formations. In a second, they shifted from defense to activating the Execution Sword Core Formation, eliminating invaders in their "Valley Manor."
Gao Yu Yan also realized that the Phoenix Bees were merely the guardian beasts of this "Mountain Villa," whereas the true core of this clan was the Valley Flower Queen and these Flower Bud Sword Guards.
The Flower Bud Sword Guards could autonomously battle, mastering some Cultivators' sword techniques. Behind Gao Yu Yan, a group of Flower Bud Sword Guards executed a One-Line Sky Sword Slash. The Flower Bud Sword Edge cut through the air, leaving a slender wound in space that remained unhealed for a long time.
Gao Yu Yan, using her speed and reflexes, dodged the One-Line Sky Sword Slash. She had to retreat a bit, observing the movement trajectories of these Flower Bud Sword Guards.
"Swish swish swish swish!!!!!!"
Suddenly, a dense sword wind swept in. The Flower Bud Sword Guards danced in unison, creating a terrifying Sword Blade Storm. The green red flower buds became extremely sharp, slicing the earth and raised slopes into pieces as they spun at high speed...
Simultaneously, all the Phoenix Bees shook their tails, firing their fiery poison stingers into the Sword Blade Storm. The fiery poison stingers added a layer of fire poison, expanding its range and increasing its power.
Gao Yu Yan kept retreating. She did not expect the Plant King's power in the valley to be so terrifying, with even the beautiful flower buds hiding deadly threats.
She quickly ascended, trying to escape the storm where fire poison and blades danced, but this dual storm had spread beyond the valley, reaching the Cloud Peak, and she couldn't escape it...
At this moment, if she fled at full speed, she might have a glimmer of hope. However, since all the Phoenix Bees returned to their hive, it became difficult to approach the Valley Flower King again.
Her eyes locked onto the storm's center, noticing the dancing Flower Bud Sword Guards kept some distance between each other to avoid self-harm. If she moved fast enough and shielded her body with all her energy ripples, she might pierce through the entire Sword Core Storm...
With a bite on her lip, Gao Yu Yan made a bold decision.
Reaching the Cloud Peak, she suddenly stepped on clouds, transforming into a dark star, plunging vertically towards the valley.
The cloud layer behind her, with her explosive descent, became a magnificent cloak, piercing through the Poison Fire and Sword Blade intercrossing storm, scattering the Execution Formation formed by the Phoenix Bees and Flower Bud Sword Guards beyond the valley.
At the forefront of the cloud-cloak, the slender figure of Gao Yu Yan enveloped in purple mysterious energy descended from the sky. Using her finger as a blade, she stabbed towards the Valley Flower King!
