“Little one, finish eating this divine-grade treasure, and I promise to give you ten immortal-grade treasures to feast on. Can you stop that Sun Shang for me?”
Sun Shang, that old guy, had been preparing to strike from the side.
Whether the little butterfly emerged or not, he would act when necessary.
But now, because Sun Shang coveted the little butterfly, he planned to act early.
However, Ling Xiao believed the little butterfly’s strength surpassed that of Miracle Hand Heavenly Venerable Sun Shang. If that old guy underestimated her, he’d suffer greatly.
Hearing Ling Xiao’s words, the little butterfly was clearly overjoyed.
It seemed to love devouring all kinds of divine weapons and natural treasures.
Ten immortal-grade treasures were a feast for it. Plus, having resided in Ling Xiao’s body, it wouldn’t do to not help now.
It was just about stopping one person, after all.
Whoosh!
After a strange sound, under countless shocked gazes, the little butterfly, originally only slightly larger than a fingernail, transformed instantly into a giant butterfly.
With wings spread, it was over two metres wide. Its enlarged body, with a gentle flap, created a fierce whirlwind.
Hovering in mid-air, one could clearly see the graceful figure between the butterfly’s wings.
It wasn’t an insect but a stunningly beautiful woman with a refined appearance.
Don’t be fooled by her beauty. As the transformation completed, a terrifyingly powerful energy burst from her body, forming an energy storm around her, shredding countless air and elements.
The beautiful figure floated in the air, looking down at Sun Shang on the ground, her expression adorably cute, yet no one dared underestimate her.
Even Ling Xiao was slightly surprised, not expecting the tiny creature to grow so large. Would Sister Yue Nv be upset?
He sneaked a glance at Yue Nv.
She seemed to grow fiercer in battle.
“My goodness, it’s like a slaughterhouse. Sister Yue Nv is really angry. Alas, I didn’t know this little one could grow so big,” Ling Xiao said with a helpless, bitter smile.
From the day he got the little butterfly, he thought it would never grow, so he hadn’t given it much thought.
But today, his assumptions seemed off.
“Hahaha, Sun Shang, you old fool, attacking such a beauty. Aren’t you afraid it’ll shorten your life?” a referee shouted, laughing from the crowd.
Sun Shang’s old face flushed, but he had no intention of stopping. In his heart, he scoffed, “Idiots, you know nothing. This thing is priceless. If I get it, I won’t just be the top alchemist on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, but the best in the entire Mysterious Realm!”
“Si Kong Xuan, step it up! Don’t capsize in the gutter. You’re a Transcendent Realm master. If you lose to a junior like Ling Xiao, your Heavenly King Sect will lose all face,” someone in the crowd jeered.
Many were just watching the spectacle, taking the chance to mock Si Kong Xuan. Since they couldn’t get the two dragon souls, they’d at least get some verbal satisfaction.
Though their words were unscrupulous, Si Kong Xuan knew they weren’t joking.
Ling Xiao’s strength wasn’t great, but his trump cards were too many.
This time, a little butterfly appeared. Who knew what else might pop up next?
He had to be extremely cautious.
Ignoring the crowd, Si Kong Xuan carefully approached Ling Xiao. As long as he kept Ling Xiao from entering the Nine Cauldrons Illusion, his task was done. He didn’t care about or have the ability to handle the rest.
On the other side, Miracle Hand Heavenly Venerable Sun Shang took a deep breath, looking up at the butterfly woman in the sky with great caution.
Acting rashly against an unfamiliar target was unwise.
So Sun Shang had to be careful, even if driven by greed, he didn’t want to lose his life.
Sun Shang extended his arms, green heavenly essence force coiling around them, turning them like old tree bark.
Don’t underestimate this odd appearance.
Sun Shang had defeated many stronger opponents with this peculiar bark.
“Hee hee!”
In the sky, the butterfly woman let out a sweet laugh, like a carefree young girl.
Honestly, sending such a girl into battle gave Ling Xiao some guilt, let alone Sun Shang, who was fighting her.
But the battle had begun.
Sun Shang wouldn’t hold back, nor did he dare.
Two powerful auras spread from the butterfly woman and Sun Shang, not as strong as the three Yin-Yang Realm masters over there, but equally sharp and compelling.
Many weaker martial artists felt their bodies convulse, some even foaming at the mouth from the overwhelming pressure.
Before this, no one could have imagined that merely targeting Ling Xiao would provoke not only the powerful Yue Nv but also this bizarre butterfly woman.
What more surprises could this kid bring?
To the spectators, it was a thrill, but to the Heavenly King Sect, it was frustrating.
Seeing Si Kong Xuan hold back, Ling Xiao suddenly sped towards the Nine Cauldrons Illusion.
Among the Heavenly King Sect and Holy Dynasty martial artists, apart from the referee, the strongest were only Celestial Realm martial artists.
Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid of them.
The butterfly’s appearance had truly been a huge help.
If Yue Nv defeated the Holy Emperor and Si Kong Zun later, the battle could end.
He could smoothly enter the Nine Cauldrons Illusion and escape.
As for the future, he’d deal with it later.
Ling Xiao had plenty of ways to evade these pursuers.
“No escape!”
Though wary of Ling Xiao, Si Kong Xuan, seeing him head for the Nine Cauldrons Illusion, couldn’t hold back anymore and chased after him.
On the other side, the butterfly woman and Sun Shang’s auras peaked, terrifying yet eerily calm.
Ling Xiao knew this was the calm before the storm.
The coming battle might be fiercer than he imagined.
At one moment, one side’s aura surged. Sun Shang leapt into the air, two thick vines appearing in his hands.
The vines brimmed with terrifying energy, making one wonder just how destructive they could be.
They tore through the air as easily as ripping paper.
At the same time, the butterfly woman moved. Her previously cheerful face turned serious, her wings flapped once, and her speed surged. A seven-coloured beam condensed and shot towards Sun Shang.
