Chapter 1286 - 1312: Golden Crow Protector

At this moment, the other two Golden Crows looked at Chu Linfeng with shock, not taking any action and even forgetting to flee.

Soon, a bird’s cry came from afar. The two Golden Crows that had come from the Golden Crow Sacred Land Hall, upon seeing the devastation on the ground, were equally surprised.

"What on earth happened here? Who is this person? What exactly happened just now to cause such a huge disturbance?" asked one of the arriving Golden Crows.

"Protector, this kid is the culprit who ruined our sacred land. He desires the Sun God Stone of the Golden Crow Race. Naturally, we had to stop him, but his prowess is formidable, even Jin San fell to him. You must uphold justice for us," said one of the injured Golden Crows.

The two arriving Golden Crows held Protector status within the Golden Crow Race. They transformed into human form and scrutinized Chu Linfeng closely. Chu Linfeng struck them as a very ordinary human, contrary to their expectations of formidable strength.

However, having been told of his prowess, it was undoubtedly true; the traces on the ground and the vanished fire trees were the best evidence.

"Kid, who are you? Our Golden Crow Race bears no grievance against you, so why do you strike with such severity? You should know these fire trees are where our Golden Crow Race absorbs Fire Attribute Energy. Destroying them is akin to severing our source of absorption; this enmity is greater than the heavens.

Thus, regardless of whether you’re after the Sun God Stone or here to intentionally destroy our Golden Crow Race, you must die today," said one Protector.

"Protector, this kid’s strength is overwhelming. Perhaps even you’re no match; caution is necessary," the injured Golden Crow urgently reminded.

"I am well aware, you needn’t worry," replied the Golden Crow Protector, then said to the accompanying Golden Crow, "Report this matter to the King, make him aware of the situation. Once I subdue this kid, I’ll hand him over to the King for judgment."

The Golden Crow quickly transformed back to its original form and left, while Chu Linfeng did not prevent him, thinking these two Golden Crows were merely minor minions. Although strong, they couldn’t make decisions. Unexpectedly, the Sun God Stone was so precious, the ultimate treasure of the Golden Crow Race, he thought it was just a regular stone.

Chu Linfeng glanced at the Golden Crow Protector and laughed, "I advise you not to struggle futilely; you’re simply not my match. I’m afraid if I lose control, I’ll level your Golden Crow Race’s territory to the ground; then your Golden Crow Race will have nowhere to rest."

"Such arrogance, to speak so boastfully before this Protector. If I don’t let you know the power of this Protector’s flames today, I’m no Golden Crow!" the Golden Crow Protector roared angrily.

"Then let’s test it? See how powerful your flames are. I hope they won’t disappoint me," said Chu Linfeng.

The Golden Crow Protector’s body flashed red and reverted to the Golden Crow’s true form, now flying in the sky, blocking the heavens. Raising one’s head, nothing but a vast body could be seen.

Chu Linfeng’s figure flashed, swiftly ascending into the sky. Since the opponent wanted to attack with flames, he naturally had to assess how formidable the black flames were, whether they matched his expectations.

With a thought, he immediately exercised Fire Transformation, ready to absorb the attacking flames, perhaps enhancing his own Fire Transformation.

At this moment, the Golden Crow Protector emitted a piercing bird’s cry, immediately flashing its wings, releasing two large black flames towards Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng didn’t dodge but felt the temperature of the black flames directly. Actually, these black flames weren’t entirely black; they merely contained black components. As the flames neared, he felt a burning heat.

Although he employed Fire Transformation, it still caused some discomfort. With a thought, the surrounding black flames slowly absorbed into his body, vanishing within several breaths.

The Golden Crow Protector initially thought his mightily potent flames would immediately slay Chu Linfeng, but unexpectedly, Chu Linfeng absorbed the attacking flames, an unheard-of feat.

Even Fire Attribute Nether Beasts dared not absorb his powerful flames, for they would surely be burned to death upon absorption. Yet this kid absorbed them with ease, leaving him in disbelief.

Nonetheless, confident in his flames, the Protector flapped his wings again, sending black flames toward Chu Linfeng. This time, Chu Linfeng didn’t fully absorb the black flames but left half.

The crackling black flames scorched the air but couldn’t harm Chu Linfeng. At this moment, the black flames seemed an integral part of Chu Linfeng’s body, which amazed the injured Golden Crows.

"Such a good thing shouldn’t be wasted; I’ll let the Golden Body absorb some," Chu Linfeng murmured to himself, considering the Golden Crow Protector’s black flames as a source to enhance his power realm. If the Protector knew his thoughts, he would rage till he fell from the sky.

With a thought, Chu Linfeng immediately released the Fire Golden Body. Its appearance astonished the three Golden Crows further, seeing two identical figures for the first time.

The Fire Golden Body, upon appearing, frantically absorbed the black flames, within several breaths clearing them without any remnants, yet appearing somewhat unsatiated.

"Is this the flame your Golden Crow Race prides itself on? It’s rather weak; is there any more intense flame? Too weak, so weak I don’t even want to act," said Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng’s words enraged the Golden Crow Protector, who shouted, "Kid, today I’ll show you the true might of our Golden Crow Race!"

With these words, another bird’s cry sounded. Chu Linfeng saw a third foot of the Golden Crow Protector suddenly flash red, with a mass of purple flames emanating from it.

Upon seeing the purple flames, Chu Linfeng felt an unprecedented sense of danger. This was his first encounter with purple flames, "What are these flames possessing such formidable aura? Could this be Divine Fire?"

Chu Linfeng guessed correctly; this was indeed the Golden Crow Race’s life fire, the Sun Divine Fire. A Golden Crow in its lifetime could only use Sun Divine Fire thrice, highlighting its value. And the Sun God Stone is scarce due to having Sun Divine Fire within.

Chu Linfeng hurriedly recalled the Fire Golden Body, simultaneously deploying an Energy Barrier over his body. Though unafraid of flames, the purple flames of the Golden Crow felt terrifyingly hot; caution was necessary...
