Island in the middle of the lake.

Hearing Jiu Ge's words, a touch of solemnity appeared on Nangong Yueze's face, the temperature of the surrounding lake was very low, if she stayed in the water all the time, she would freeze sooner or later.

"Ge'er, I'll find a way to attract the attention of that phoenix, you hurry up and swim to the shore!" Nangong Yueze said in a deep voice.

He knew that the Dark Phoenix was born with a normal water nature, and as long as he stayed in the water, the Phoenix would not dare to rush down and attack him.

"No, Ozawa, I can't leave you alone!" Jiu Ge's face changed suddenly.

"Silly girl...... Nangong Yueze kissed Jiu Ge's eyebrows, "Don't worry, I'm very watery, when I lure the phoenix away, I'll go to you." ”

After saying that, he gently pushed Jiu Ge away from his embrace.

Looking at Nangong Yueze, Jiu Ge's eyes were full of complexity and distress.

This was a trial for the two of them, how could she be willing to let him risk it alone?

Seeing that Jiu Ge was still hesitating, Nangong Yueze hooked the corners of his lips and urged again: "Be good, let's go!" ”

"Ozawa......" Jiu Ge gritted her teeth, she knew that she couldn't persuade him at the moment, she hesitated for a moment before she nodded and said, "Then you must be careful, don't be reckless!" ”

"yes, I know." Nangong Yueze answered, and turned his gaze to the dark phoenix above his head, "Come on!" Your opponent today is me!! ”

The Dark Phoenix flapped its wings and said coldly: "Don't waste your efforts, you can't escape today, I want to see how long you can stay in the water??!! ”

"Hehe, then you're really wrong." Nangong Yueze smiled lightly and said, "I already know your true body, but do you know what my true body is?" ”

Hearing this, the Dark Phoenix's expression suddenly became vigilant.

The mortal in front of him was clearly different from the trialists who came in before.

"Hmph, I don't care what your real body is, I'm going to burn you both to ashes today!" The Dark Phoenix gritted its teeth and said, as he spoke, it stretched out its sharp claws, and a flame burned on its claws, and it launched an attack directly towards Nangong Yueze.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Nangong Yueze's expression did not change at all.

In the next second, a golden light flew out of the star mirror in his hand, and the golden light flew towards the dark phoenix, directly stabbing its wings.

"Uh-"

The Dark Phoenix screamed in pain and fell headlong into the lake.

In an instant, the lake set off a stormy wave!!

"This is a place of trial, but you have murderous intentions towards us, since this is the case, then don't blame me for being unkind to you!" Nangong Yueze said coldly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Dark Phoenix hurriedly instigated the other wing and tried to fly away.

But Nangong Yueze didn't give it a chance, but waved his hand to conjure a silver needle from the space ring.

The silver needle glowed coldly in the moonlight, obviously quenched with poison.

While the Dark Phoenix was fleeing, Nangong Yueze threw a silver needle violently, and the silver needle pierced the sky and pierced into the other wing of the Dark Phoenix.

"Uh-"

The Dark Phoenix was in pain, and as soon as it flew a few meters above the water, it fell into the water again.

But the phoenix didn't seem to give up, and before sinking to the bottom of the lake, it used its wings to wrap Nangong Yueze's body firmly, and sank into the depths of the lake with him.

"Ozawa !!" Seeing this, Jiu Ge hurriedly shouted.

She swam desperately to save him, but it all happened so fast that she didn't have time to react.

She could only watch as Nangong Yueze was dragged underwater by the Dark Phoenix, and then disappeared.

At that moment, Jiu Ge only felt that his entire heart stopped beating, and his mind was even more buzzing.

She even forgot the icy cold of the lake, and her eyes stared at the lake for a moment, her fists clenched tighter and tighter.

"Ozawa, I won't leave you, you wait, I'll save you!" Jiu Ge gritted his teeth and plunged headlong into the depths of the lake.

The water is deep and cold.

Not long after Jiu Ge dived down, he felt a strong sense of oppression.

It took a long time for her to try to open her eyes under the water, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Ozawa, where the hell are you?" Jiu Ge said in his heart while trying to find Nangong Yueze's figure.

I don't know how long it took, Jiu Ge vaguely felt that his breathing began to become a little difficult.

She held her breath and tried to hold her breath, she knew that in this environment, she simply wouldn't be able to sustain herself for long.

Just as Jiu Ge was about to fall into despair, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand.

turned around and saw that the person was Nangong Yueze.

Nangong Yueze took her into his arms, and then struggled to swim towards the water.

Finally, the bodies of the two surfaced.

"Silly girl, you don't want to die......" Nangong Yueze just wanted to speak, but Jiu Ge suddenly hugged him tightly, "Xiao Ze, scared me to death just now!" I thought you were ......"

"Girl......" Nangong Yueze was stunned for a moment, and then stroked Jiuge's wet hair, "Silly girl, what do you think, do I look like the kind of person who can easily send him to death?" ”

Jiu Ge pursed his lips, looked at him, nodded again and again, and said, "It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay." ”

Nangong Yueze stepped forward and kissed Jiu Ge's forehead, then raised his hand and shook it in front of her, saying, "Look, I already got the key by the way just now." ”

Key?

Jiu Ge was stunned again, and after a pause, she asked, "What about the Dark Phoenix?" Is it already dead? ”

"Nope." Nangong Yueze shook his head, "It is struggling at the bottom of the lake at the moment, and the counterattack just now may have triggered its catastrophe, I guess, it has no energy to take care of us for the time being!" ”

"In that case, let's get out of here." Jiu Ge said.

However, as soon as she was about to go ashore, she was dragged by Nangong Yueze, "Ge'er, we can't leave yet!" ”

"Huh? Why not go? Jiu Ge looked at each other suspiciously.

Nangong Yueze glanced at the bottom of the water, and his eyes were full of complicated looks, "That phoenix is very angry now, which is very unfavorable to its tribulation, if you are not careful, it is very likely to become a demon in the tribulation, I have to stay and help it." ”

"What? You're going to help it?? Hearing this, Jiu Ge was surprised.

She had seen the battle between Nangong Yueze and the phoenix with her own eyes just now, and if it succeeded in crossing the catastrophe and came to their senses, it would probably be difficult for them to escape from it again.

"Ge'er, don't get involved in this matter yet, take the key, find a safe place and wait for me." Nangong Yueze said seriously.

"Ozawa, are you sure you want to do this?" Jiu Ge bit his lip and asked.

"Hmm." Nangong Yueze nodded.

In his memory, Qionghua Shenjun had taught him since he was a child to have kindness and kindness in his heart, so he naturally would not let this dark phoenix become a demon.

Jiu Ge lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, and only after a long time did she raise her eyes to look at Nangong Yueze, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are determined to stay, then I will accompany you." ”

"Girl, don't ......" Nangong Yueze refused urgently.

"Why not?" Jiu Ge asked directly.

"It's not easy for you to cultivate, this matter is very dangerous, I can't let you take risks." Nangong Yueze answered in a stern tone.

"But you're the one I love the most." Jiu Ge raised his beautiful chin, and said as a matter of course, "No matter what happens today, I will be with you, don't think about driving me away, I won't leave you." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yueze opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say a word of refusal, and after a while, he sighed slightly, and said helplessly and dotingly: "Okay, I can't say you, since you want to stay, then stay." ”

"Hmm." Jiu Ge nodded.

……

It wasn't long before the long roar of the Dark Phoenix came from the bottom of the lake again, roaring wildly, and its voice seemed to be filled with endless anger, hatred, and pain.

"Ozawa, is it really so painful?" Jiu Ge asked with a frown.

"Hmm." Nangong Yueze was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "This is its first tribulation, although it is not as painful as the Heavenly God tribulation, but its whole process is still full of danger, and if you are not careful, you will never recover." ”

As the words fell, he continued to observe the situation in the lake.

"Boom—"

Half a cup of tea was over, accompanied by a loud roar, the water at the bottom of the lake splashed, and a rich smell of blood filled the air.

"What is that guy doing??" Jiu Ge asked worriedly.

Nangong Yueze's expression was very dignified, and the character of the Phoenix clan was very arrogant, and they would rather have broken jade than complete it.

Soon, the dark phoenix's body burst out of the lake, circled in the air a few times, and then began to angrily spew a large number of dark red flames in all directions.

"Ge'er, it's in the tyrannical stage now, look at it like that, it wants to destroy the entire island in the middle of the lake." Nangong Yueze said in a deep voice.

At that moment, the water began to churn, and a huge whirlpool was set off on the surface of the lake, as if it had a large open mouth to suck everything around it in.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Yueze quickly pulled Jiu Ge to the side and dodged to the side.

"Bang bang bang-"

Loud noises reverberated through the valley, causing the entire island in the middle of the lake to tremble.

"Ozawa, this phoenix's tribulation is not going to fail, right?" Jiu Ge asked nervously.

Nangong Yueze didn't answer immediately, and stared at the phoenix's eyes tightly, paused for a moment before he said slowly: "It's not good!" I see signs of demonization! ”

Demonization!!

Hearing Nangong Yueze's words, Jiu Ge's face immediately showed a trace of horror.

The phoenix's anger is very heavy, and once it is demonized, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Just as the two were talking, three flames of thunder suddenly fell from the sky and directly hit the dark phoenix.

"Woo!!"

The phoenix roared in the sky again, and the sound wave filled the entire island in the middle of the lake, shaking people's eardrums.

Immediately afterward, it turned into a huge fireball and flew around.

The other demon beasts on the island in the middle of the lake had no time to resist, and they died under the fireball one by one.

All of a sudden, the entire island in the middle of the lake wailed and screamed!

"This is the fire and thunder that the phoenix needs to endure when it first crosses the tribulation, and there are a total of eighteen before and after." Nangong Yueze squinted his eyes and said slowly.

"Eighteen Dao ......" Jiu Ge gasped, these are only three fire thunders, and they have already tossed the phoenix like that, and the eighteen Dao add up, wouldn't that kill it......

"Ge'er." Just when Jiu Ge was stunned, Nangong Yueze's slightly deep voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Huh? What's wrong? Jiu Ge turned his head to look at Nangong Yueze beside him and asked.

"Ge'er, I need you to do something for me." Nangong Yueze pursed her thin lips.
