Chapter 213
Out of the four matches, two had already concluded.
The remaining two, however, left the spectating cultivators somewhat puzzled.
On the third arena.
A slender and graceful figure stood in mid-air, riding on the back of a flaming bird, looking down at the white-robed figure below.
She was dressed in red, her beauty unparalleled, her skin as fair as jade, and her features exquisitely crafted. Her eyes, in particular, seemed to contain the purest flames in the world, filled with destructive power that made one’s heart tremble!
Around her, four other flaming birds circled, their wings flapping as if cheering her on!
Each of these five birds was at the peak of the Spirit Seed Realm, incredibly powerful!
Her opponent was a plain-looking young male cultivator in white robes.
These two.
Were Ye Ruoshui and Han Li.
“This Ye Ruoshui is quite terrifying. She can actually control five peak Spirit Seed Realm beasts at the same time. How does she do it?”
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
“These flaming birds seem special. Have you noticed? They seem to be Scarlet Flame Sparrows, which are said to be extinct, only bred in the secret realms of the sacred families!”
“Ye Ruoshui hasn’t made a single move herself. Just with five… no! Four flaming birds, she’s already suppressed Han Li to the point of suffocation. It looks like he’s about to lose!”
On the arena.
The numerous discussions reached their ears.
Han Li’s expression was extremely grim. He had thought that after advancing to the Embryonic Shadow Realm, he could crush all his opponents.
However, he never expected Ye Ruoshui to be so deeply hidden!
With a single move, she summoned five Scarlet Flame Sparrows!
If it were one, or even two, he could handle it!
But four was already pushing it!
Not to mention, there was still one that hadn’t entered the fray yet.
And the most terrifying thing was that Ye Ruoshui hadn’t made a move herself, just coldly observing.
He could sense that although Ye Ruoshui hadn’t stepped into the Embryonic Shadow Realm, her true strength was probably no weaker than his!
Although his cultivation level was slightly higher, in terms of foundation, he was simply incomparable to Ye Ruoshui!
Just the faintly overflowing aura of terrifying heat alone made his mind tremble violently, as if a single touch would annihilate both his body and soul!
Ye Ruoshui’s expression was icy as she coldly gazed at Han Li, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she might strike at any moment.
After observing him for so long, she seemed to recall something.
Back in the Tianfu Secret Realm, she had likely seen this Han Li before.
However, at that time, Han Li had blended into the crowd, utterly unremarkable, with no indication of the talent to make it into the top eight of the trial competition.
“This Han Li has hidden himself quite deeply…”
Ye Ruoshui thought to herself. She didn’t harbor any hostility toward those who played the fool to conceal their strength, but she simply hoped that Han Li wouldn’t harbor any ill intentions toward Xiao Minghuang.
Moreover, Han Li was also from the Southern Region, so in theory, they shouldn’t become enemies.
Perhaps she should learn from Lin Wanqiu and recruit some talented subordinates for Her Highness.
But in the arena, there had to be a winner and a loser.
After some thought, Ye Ruoshui carefully chose her words and spoke, “Fellow Daoist Han, if you surrender now, I can spare you.”
As soon as her words fell.
Han Li’s face turned ashen, and he remained silent.
This battle was already difficult for him to win.
In a contest between cultivators, victory and defeat were determined by strength, and he had nothing to say about that.
But what did her words mean?
Was she looking down on him?
This was clearly an insult!
Although Han Li knew when to yield and when to advance, enduring humiliation wasn’t the same as acting like a coward!
If you pretended to be a coward for too long, you might actually become one!
Besides, in this arena, even if he fought to the death, there would be no risk to his life, so what did he have to fear?
Why not make a name for himself and let everyone know!
That Han Li was no ordinary person!
“Hmph, don’t even think about it! I, Han Li, have never been inferior to anyone in my life. Today, I will fight you to the bitter end!”
Han Li roared, his body surging with immense qi and blood, erupting like a mountain torrent, shaking the entire plaza. A dense killing intent filled the entire arena.
He clenched his fingers into a fist and fiercely punched out!
A fist radiance shot into the sky, condensing into a massive cyan fist imprint, hundreds of feet in size, carrying a violent wave of energy as it smashed toward Ye Ruoshui!
“Hmph! You asked for it!”
Ye Ruoshui’s eyes darkened, and a series of clear phoenix cries rang out. Behind her, four flaming phoenixes appeared, their firelight soaring into the sky, dazzling and magnificent, like divine beings descending, as they charged toward Han Li!
Boom!
The two immense forces collided in mid-air, producing a thunderous roar that deafened the ears, as if the entire world was trembling.
Flames surged into the sky, covering the heavens like a sea of fire!
The violent shockwaves ravaged the entire plaza, forcing countless people to retreat.
“Not good!”
Han Li’s expression changed drastically. At this moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of danger enveloping him.
Amidst the sea of fire, an extreme crimson light shot out like a sharp sword, splitting the flames apart, and in an instant, it appeared before him.
Ye Ruoshui raised her fair right arm, her fingers clenched like five fiery phoenixes, and she fiercely struck toward Han Li’s chest!
Her body radiated scorching light, like a furnace, the temperature in her palm almost melting the space around it, carrying a searing aura!
The firelight was dazzling!
Han Li’s expression changed drastically as he swiftly swung his magic sword, meeting the attack head-on.
Pfft!
A crisp sound rang out.
His Earth-grade magic sword was instantly melted and incinerated, while his body was sent flying backward by a tremendous force!
Bang!
Han Li crashed heavily to the ground, blood spraying from his mouth, his face as pale as paper, and his aura withered.
His body trembled, his eyes filled with horror.
What he feared was not the power of that punch, but the flame…
“What… what kind of flame is this? My… my Earth-grade treasure!”
He could never have believed that an Earth-grade treasure could be melted as easily as ordinary iron by a flame, leaving not even a trace of residue!
Is this something a Spirit Seed Realm cultivator could do?
The spectators who witnessed this were equally shocked.
“An Earth-grade treasure was destroyed!”
“What is Ye Ruoshui’s background?”
“How is this possible?!”
“Even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would find it difficult to destroy an Earth-grade treasure. How did Ye Ruoshui do it?!”
Su Changge’s eyes flickered as he slowly spoke, “That flame seems to be a type of innate flame, and it has an extremely high compatibility with Ye Ruoshui, almost perfectly fused. You wouldn’t find a second one like this even among the sacred families…”
“What?!”
“A perfectly fused innate flame?!”
“How is this possible?!”
“Even a Transformation Realm cultivator might not be able to achieve this!”
Countless people were utterly shocked.
In the common understanding, innate flames were entities of an extremely high level. Even if they could be implanted into the bodies of low-level cultivators through various methods, the process of fusion would be extremely lengthy. Generally, it would take until the Transformation Realm, with the help of the life-and-death barrier, to achieve perfect fusion.
But Ye Ruoshui had perfectly fused an innate flame at the Spirit Seed Realm. How on earth did she do it?
“Of course, it’s possible—with a massive amount of Flame Fusion Pills, an enormous amount!”
At this moment, Su Changge’s eyes lit up.
