My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 426 - 423 Mutual Destruction

The Golden Bird fell into an ambush because it was careless, or rather, it underestimated the enemy. Seeing that Gao Fei and the others were only at the Golden Core Realm Cultivation, it didn't take them seriously. Caught off-guard, it fell victim to Gao Fei's trap.

"Shriek..."

The Golden Bird tumbled through the air, its face contorted in agony as it let out a wailing cry from its throat.

"Damn!" cursed Gao Fei, "We didn't throw enough Black Spheres!" Gao Fei had originally thought that five Black Spheres would be enough to kill the Golden Bird. He had never expected the Golden Bird to be so formidable that it could survive the fierce bombardment of five Black Spheres; it was truly inconceivable.

"To survive with five Black Spheres exploding inside it, it really is a miracle," Xuan Jizi said softly in Gao Fei's mind.

"Had I known this would happen, I would have thrown more Black Spheres at the time," Gao Fei lamented.

"What's the use of saying that now?" Xuan Jizi replied with a bitter smile, "You better think of a way to escape... The Golden Bird has been ambushed by you and will certainly go berserk. I've calculated that you have two possible outcomes. First, you get eaten by the Golden Bird; second, you get torn into Fragments by the Golden Bird."

"You're just trying to scare me."

"I am not scaring you; what I'm saying is true!" Xuan Jizi said.

"BOOM!!!"

The sea churned as an enormous octopus emerged from the waters. Its eight massive tentacles reached skyward, wrapping around the screaming Golden Bird in pain.

"What a cunning octopus!" Gao Fei's face twitched, "It had been lurking under the sea the whole time, waiting for the Golden Bird to get injured, and then it suddenly struck... What a scheme, how sly! Admirable!" He added another sentence, "Fight! Fight as hard as you can! The best outcome would be if you both suffer. Then I can reap the benefits as the fisherman."

"Let's hope so," Chen San wasn't very optimistic, "The Golden Bird has obviously sustained serious injuries and its strength is greatly diminished. Now that it's entangled by the octopus... Unless a miracle happens, the Golden Bird is certainly doomed to defeat."

Liu Qing nodded, "I agree with Chen San's view, the Golden Bird is finished..."

"The moment the Golden Bird dies, the octopus will surely attack us, and we will still be unable to escape death," Chen San said with a grim face.

"Don't panic, just watch," Gao Fei said somberly, "No one knows the outcome until the very last moment."

The fierce wind released by the Golden Bird still bound Gao Fei and others, and for the time being, they were unable to break free.

...

After being caught by the octopus, the Golden Bird began to struggle desperately. However, with its severe injuries, only thirty percent of its strength remained and it was no match for the octopus.

"ROAR!!! ROAR!!!"

The octopus let out excited roars, its tentacles tightly wrapped around the Golden Bird, pulling it towards the sea. Then, the octopus opened its large mouth, revealing sharp teeth, as if it intended to devour the Golden Bird.

One hundred zhang, eighty zhang, fifty zhang... ten zhang...

The Golden Bird was getting closer and closer to the octopus, and it seemed it would be devoured any moment now.

...

In the distance.

Chen San let out a wry laugh, "I told you, the Golden Bird would end up defeated."

"It's mainly because the octopus chose such a perfect moment to strike, capturing the Golden Bird in an instant," Liu Qing sighed, "The Golden Bird is finished, about to become a feast for the octopus."

"Not necessarily," Gao Fei had a different opinion.

"How can it not be certain? The winner has already been decided, hasn't it?" Chen San asked in surprise.

Liu Qing also looked at Gao Fei with a puzzled face.

"Don't forget, the Golden Bird still has its trump card it hasn't played yet," Gao Fei said slowly.

"Trump card?" Chen San was taken aback, "What trump card?"

"I know it!" Liu Qing's eyes lit up, "The blue flame!"

"Right," Chen San smacked his forehead, "How could I forget? The Golden Bird has a terrifying blue flame hidden inside it! Just now, the octopus was scared off by the blue flame."

Gao Fei watched intently ahead, "Just watch, the real show is about to start."

...

Just ten feet away!

The golden bird was only ten feet away from the octopus.

"Roar Roar Roar!!!"

The octopus roared and screamed in excitement; its powerful enemy of many years was about to be devoured, and afterwards, it could rule as the untroubled Sea King! The very thought was exhilarating, absolutely thrilling!

There's a saying, "Joy leads to sorrow," and the octopus was the very embodiment of this...

"Screech!!!"

A vicious gleam flashed in the eyes of the golden bird as it inhaled, contracted its abdomen, and then exhaled a cyan flame.

The two were too close; the octopus had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the cyan flame landed on its body…

"Boom!!"

The cyan flame ignited instantly.

"Roar…"

The octopus was ruthless too. Even while being scorched by the cyan flame, it still used its tentacles to wrap around the golden bird, then pulled hard, causing the golden bird to fall and be swallowed into its belly.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The cyan flame burned ever more fiercely, and a scent of-cooking meat slowly wafted into the air while the surrounding water began to boil.

After swallowing the golden bird, the octopus sank to the seabed, intending to use the surging seawater to extinguish the cyan flame, but... it was no use! The cyan flame was too intense and was not afraid of the seawater at all.

In just a short moment, half of the octopus's body was charred, and it even lost a tentacle, presenting a truly tragic sight.

...

On the sea's surface.

After the golden bird was devoured by the octopus, the fierce wind that had restrained Gao Fei and others slowly dissipated, and they finally regained their freedom.

"How could this be…" Chen San was dumbfounded: "The golden bird was swallowed by the octopus, and the octopus was scorched by the cyan flame, it looks rather dire… Who won in the end?"

"No one won." Liu Qing shook his head: "It's a pyrrhic victory."

Gao Fei nodded, "That's right, both were injured."

"Gurgle gurgle…"

The distant seawater suddenly churned, and a dark object floated up. Upon closer inspection, it was the octopus!

The octopus was in a dreadful state at this moment, terribly charred all over. Its eight tentacles were broken off, and it floated lifelessly on the sea's surface.

"Is the octopus dead?"

"Let's go and see."

"Let's go, take a look."

The three mustered their courage and approached the octopus.

"There's no sign of life, it's dead." After careful inspection, Gao Fei concluded.

"The golden bird died, the octopus died as well, two powerful beings have perished just like that, what a pity." Chen San sighed.

"If they hadn't died, we would be the ones dead," Liu Qing said matter-of-factly.

Gao Fei glanced around, a look of confusion on his face: "Where did the cyan flame go? It's vanished."
