Ch 32: The New Champion
Black fireballs fell from the sky, destroying all blocking black branches along the way, and smashed directly towards Jun Liuhe.
As the roar of the explosion sounded, the arena was already covered in flames.
However, the flames at this time were no longer just Vermilion Flames, but Black Red Flames mixed with other auras.
In the depths of the flames, Jun Liuhe wiped the wound on her forehead, and she revealed a surprised smile.
“That’s right, Liu Xixi, unleash your power to your heart’s content.”
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, without making any sound, and struck her body.
Jun Liuhe swung her right arm to block, and the powerful force directly dislocated her arm. If she hadn’t used a black branch to grab her ankle in time, she would have been in trouble if she had been carried into the air by this force.
She straightened her dislocated right arm, and with the enhancement of life force, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The black shadow flashed again, but this time Jun Liuhe was already on guard, swinging her fist to confront the black shadow head-on.
With a loud bang, Jun Liuhe took a step back.
“Devouring power… Taotie.”
The fire barrier swallowed her vision and senses, and she had no idea where Liu Xixi was.
Jun Liuhe had no choice but to defend while spreading black earth, expanding her field of vision in this way.
Finally, with the expansion of her black earth, she finally captured Liu Xixi’s figure.
She was now showing fangs, her tail and hair had become extremely long.
“I… am… here…”
Liu Xixi let out a hoarse voice, seemingly not yet consumed by madness.
The next moment, Liu Xixi, with her wings spread, appeared in front of Jun Liuhe.
Her originally noble red wings had become bizarre, with a pair of faintly glowing eyes growing at the base of the wings. Her white long hair raged, entangling the surrounding black branches, and her claws with black scales met Jun Liuhe’s fist, her tail aimed straight at her heart.
Vermilion Bird’s wings and flames, White Tiger’s power and accelerated lightning, Taotie’s devouring and compound eyes, Taowu’s tail and hair,
Jun Liuhe couldn’t help but exclaim, what kind of ultimate creature is this?
Her battle intent soaring, Jun Liuhe gripped a piece of decaying wood in her left hand, and thrust it towards Liu Xixi’s chest.
Facing each other’s fatal attacks, neither of them backed down, exchanging injury for injury.
Puchi!
The tail pierced Jun Liuhe’s body, and the decaying wood also pierced Liu Xixi’s body.
Jun Liuhe could feel the evil power of Taowu invading her body, mixed with a trace of Gluttony Intent feasting at the wound.
And she was also absorbing Liu Xixi’s life force.
The two did not separate due to the collision of their fists, but Liu Xixi had an extra tail compared to Jun Liuhe. The free hand at this moment attacked her throat.
Just as Jun Liuhe was about to withdraw the decaying wood to defend, Liu Xixi suddenly stiffened, and blood began to flow from her seven orifices. Upon noticing this, Jun Liuhe immediately reversed the life force within Liu Xixi and began to heal her.
At this moment, a robust beastman man stepped onto the arena. Instantly, all the flames, black earth, and black branches disappeared. He produced two pills and put them into the mouths of the two women on the arena. Then, he picked up the unconscious Liu Xixi and prepared to leave.
“Wait!”
Jun Liuhe, ignoring her wounds, grabbed Liu Xixi’s arm and stopped Liu Le’s actions.
“Hmm?”
Liu Le frowned and asked with a cold face. At this moment, Sect Leader Li also suddenly appeared.
“Liu Le, trust Xiao He.”
Xia Jiuyuan also jumped onto the arena and said to Liu Le, “Your Excellency, He He’s actions must be for Xixi’s good.”
Liu Le’s mouth twitched. He looked down at Xia Jiuyuan and said:
“What right do you have to speak!”
However, he still stopped his actions. Seeing this, Jun Liuhe walked to Liu Xixi’s side, waved her hand, and a dense life force converged into a line, flowing into her wound.
She hesitated for a moment, then used her life force to draw out a little of her own blood and dripped it into Liu Xixi’s mouth.
“So… sweet…”
Liu Xixi withdrew from her demonic transformation, and her complexion improved significantly.
“Returning this life force to her should be fine. As for that blood, it’s my compensation.”
Liu Le’s expression also improved. He naturally knew that Jun Liuhe had been drawing out Xiao Xi’s life force. Such an action could harm Xiao Xi’s foundation.
But he also knew Xiao Xi’s inner desire for this battle, so he suppressed his anger and did not interrupt the competition.
He had countless treasures, and his lack of life force could be replenished, but he would not give Jun Liuhe a pleasant expression.
After all, using such insidious moves in a sparring match was too much!
But what he did not expect was that this Jun Liuhe could actually return the life force…
It was very strange. In his opinion, absorbing and returning were completely different in difficulty, and he thought Jun Liuhe couldn’t return the life force…
“It’s not entirely your fault. Xiao Xi is too willful, forcing herself to use the power of the Four Beasts. The four powers within her were constantly conflicting, and in the end, it was a loss of control.”
Jun Liuhe shook her head. She picked up the decaying wood on the ground, and with a wave of her finger, it disappeared.
However, the two World-Ending realm cultivators present could feel a clear spatial fluctuation.
Storage Space!
Liu Le glanced at the bracelet on her wrist.
Using storage space requires a certain understanding of Spatial Intent. Historically, very few people could use storage space in the non-human stage.
Now that Jun Liuhe, at the Third Rank, was using storage space, there was only one possibility:
this bracelet was a Naturally Formed Treasure!
What kind of concept is this? Let’s just say that he, a Tenth Rank World-Ending realm cultivator, did not possess a single Naturally Formed Treasure!
Naturally Formed Treasures are not necessarily strong, but their rarity is definitely the highest!
Li Canghuang clicked his tongue and reminded:
“Liu Le…”
“Heh heh, I won’t say anything. But you need to properly educate your disciple, don’t they understand the principle of not showing off wealth?”
“Hehe is trusting you, Your Excellency.”
Xia Jiuyuan tried to smooth things over. He didn’t want to speak, but this matter involved Jun Liuhe, and this man was Liu Xixi’s only blood relative, so he couldn’t avoid it.
Upon hearing this, Liu Le looked at the necklace on Xia Jiuyuan’s neck. It was a gift from Liu Xixi’s mother, a Creation Artifact, fused with Liu Xixi’s own essence blood, and it could continuously evolve as Liu Xixi’s power increased.
Because it was fused with Liu Xixi’s essence blood, its effects were roughly that it could slightly increase the wearer’s strength and affinity with lightning. When the wearer encountered fatal danger, it would actively activate and consume energy to block the attacker. The amount of energy consumed depended on Liu Xixi’s rank, and the consumed energy could recover slowly on its own.
“Seeing you makes me angry!”
Liu Le stomped his foot and disappeared from the arena with Liu Xixi.
Xia Jiuyuan looked at Uncle Li awkwardly, and he put on a helpless expression.
“What are you looking at me for? I can’t help you with matters of love and romance.”
“Cough cough! Alright…”
“Hmm? What’s with that pathetic look? Do you understand? I only seek the Dao wholeheartedly. Also, you stinky kid have caused quite a few troubles recently, we need to settle the score!”
After Uncle Li glared fiercely at Xia Jiuyuan, he also left the scene.
“How is your wound?”
Xia Jiuyuan looked at Jun Liuhe’s abdomen. This was the first time he had seen Jun Liuhe injured.
Actually, Xia Jiuyuan didn’t know that the outfit Jun Liuhe was wearing was transformed from a Naturally Formed Treasure. According to its original strength, it shouldn’t have been pierced by Liu Xixi. However, she felt that using such a magical artifact for sparring was a bit bullying, so she didn’t activate the defensive effect of the clothes.
“It’s healed.”
“Healed!?”
Xia Jiuyuan touched Jun Liuhe’s abdomen with a look of surprise. It felt soft and warm, so it seemed it was indeed healed.
Jun Liuhe looked at his still-touching hand, silently raised her head, and met his gaze.
“Hehe, I’m just worried about you.”
Xia Jiuyuan smiled and put his hand down, saying to the referee beside him:
“Referee, it’s time to announce the competition results.”
The referee, who had been slacking off, nodded, stepped forward, and announced in a voice that could be heard throughout the Main Peak:
“The new champion of the Martial Arts Grand Competition is Ask Dao Sect’s Lucky Peak—Jun Liuhe!”
