With An Ruoxi’s loud roar, a thick purple mist suddenly rose from his body, enveloping his entire form. In the blink of an eye, his arms regenerated, and his shattered knees healed as good as new.
An Ruoxi stood up, purple mist swirling around him, his divine might overwhelming the world.
“Hmm?”
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, a smile curling at his lips. “Interesting.”
He had thought An Ruoxi would use the Mending Heaven Technique to reverse time and restore himself before the injury. Instead, An Ruoxi had mastered another strange art.
An Ruoxi was truly extraordinary.
He possessed a lightning body with terrifying speed. Combined with his ability to heal wounds quickly, in normal circumstances, few at the same realm could match him.
It was just unfortunate that he had encountered Ye Qiu.
“You may be extraordinary, but your lightning body holds no advantage against me. Even with this strange art for healing wounds, you won’t last long,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
“You really think your speed surpasses mine?” A look of resolve appeared in An Ruoxi’s eyes, as if he had made a crucial decision. He gritted his teeth fiercely and said, “Ye Changsheng, I told you, today I will kill you.”
As the words fell, An Ruoxi’s eyes turned blood red, and the purple mist swirling around him instantly became crimson.
At this moment, An Ruoxi looked like a man of fire. Flames rose from the surface of his skin, his blood energy surging to the heavens like an erupting volcano.
“Eh?”
Ye Qiu let out a surprised hum.
He could clearly feel An Ruoxi’s aura growing stronger by the second. Not only that, his power was becoming increasingly terrifying.
“Could it be that this fellow is trying to break through to the Nascent Soul realm right now?”
Ye Qiu was not worried. Even if An Ruoxi broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he had no fear.
With his One Hundred Li Step, plus the Lightning Talisman, he could crush An Ruoxi in speed.
Moreover, he still had the God-Beating Whip.
A scorching aura emanated from An Ruoxi’s body. The flames grew denser, as if they could burn the heavens themselves.
The onlookers cried out in shock.
“It seems An Ruoxi is using another trump card.”
“Worth being the holy son of the Mending Heaven Sect. He has so many tricks up his sleeve.”
“This battle has gone on for so long. Who knows who will come out on top?”
Yun Xi’s pretty face grew solemn. She too could clearly sense An Ruoxi’s aura growing stronger.
“Changsheng, don’t be careless. It looks like An Ruoxi is using some kind of secret technique,” Yun Xi transmitted to Ye Qiu, worried for him.
Hearing Yun Xi’s words, Ye Qiu turned to glance at her. He smiled and transmitted back, “Don’t worry. Your man is always the strongest. No one at the same realm can defeat me.”
“You’re just bluffing,” Yun Xi pouted. “The one who surrendered under my waist.”
“Er…” Ye Qiu felt a bit awkward and annoyed. In the past, he had always been victorious in every battle, making Lin Jingzhi and Bai Bing beg for mercy each time. Even in his great war with Fairy Hundred Flowers, she had been utterly defeated.
As for the prophet who once made him…
Best not to mention it.
He never imagined he would lose to Yun Xi.
This woman was not human at all, fierce as a tiger.
“If you dare underestimate me, just wait. Once I deal with them, I will battle you for eight hundred rounds,” Ye Qiu threatened.
Yun Xi transmitted back, “What, only eight hundred rounds? No way. I want to battle you for three thousand rounds.”
Three thousand rounds?
Ye Qiu’s face paled in fright. He thought that after three thousand rounds, his kidneys would probably be ruined.
“It’s all because I left the secular world in such a hurry. I forgot to buy a few boxes of Liuwei Dihuang Pills.”
Suddenly, Ye Qiu remembered the many spirit herbs still in his Qiankun Bag. His spirits lifted. “Looks like next time before battling Yun Xi, I need to refine some pills. I can’t let her look down on me.”
At that moment, Yun Xi’s voice rang in his ear again. “Ye Lang, do your best. I’m rooting for you.”
Ye Qiu turned to look at Yun Xi and saw her winking at him seductively, utterly captivating.
“This woman is just like Sister Lin. One look from her and I feel it.”
“Once I finish off these enemies, I need to have a proper fight with her.”
Ye Qiu’s gaze returned to An Ruoxi. By now, An Ruoxi resembled a flame man, flames several zhang high bursting from his body. He seemed on the verge of burning up entirely.
“If I didn’t know this kid was using a secret technique, I would think he was about to self-immolate.”
Ye Qiu had just thought this when An Ruoxi’s voice rang out.
“Forcing me to this point, Ye Changsheng, you can die proud.”
With that, An Ruoxi’s body turned into a bolt of lightning, appearing before Ye Qiu in an instant.
Ye Qiu’s heart jolted. He clearly sensed that An Ruoxi’s speed had increased significantly. A fist came smashing fiercely towards him.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu had mastered the One Hundred Li Step.
Whoosh!
Ye Qiu shifted slightly to the side, dodging An Ruoxi’s fist. Immediately after, his Dragon Slaying Fist erupted. A powerful force smashed out, striking An Ruoxi’s chest.
Bang!
An Ruoxi was struck like by thunder. He spat blood, his body flying backwards.
“How is this possible?”
“I burned my lightning body and pushed my speed to the limit. How is he still faster?”
“What secret technique is this bastard using?”
An Ruoxi had not yet figured it out when his back slammed heavily into the ground, nearly splitting his body.
Puff.
He spat another mouthful of blood.
An Ruoxi’s face was pale. Ye Qiu’s punch had shattered his five viscera. Fortunately, he had the strange art for quick wound recovery.
Hum!
Thick purple mist circulated, and in an instant, An Ruoxi’s injuries healed.
“An Ruoxi, your secret technique is not up to much!”
“I advise you to give up comparing speed with me. Your speed will never surpass mine.”
“Lightning body… heh, rubbish!”
Ye Qiu mocked without mercy.
An Ruoxi’s face darkened to the extreme. He had not expected that even after burning his lightning body, his speed still fell short of Ye Qiu’s.
“It seems today I really must use all my trump cards to take him down.”
Thinking this, An Ruoxi bared a ruthless expression. He reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small white snake.
This small white snake was tiny, its body slender like a soft chopstick, pure white and flawless.
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes. From this small white snake, he sensed a bloodthirsty aura.
“I did not want to call on you, but that fellow is simply too strong. I have no choice but to ask for your help.”
An Ruoxi stroked the head of the small white snake gently and said softly.
The small white snake flicked out its tongue, affectionately licking An Ruoxi’s cheek. Then it leaped from his palm.
Boom!
Suddenly, the small white snake’s body expanded violently.
One zhang, ten zhang, twenty zhang…
Fifty zhang.
Eighty zhang.
One hundred zhang!
At the same time, the white snake’s body turned crimson like fire, like a long rainbow spanning the void, emanating overwhelming demonic might.
