Pei Zimo pursed his lips, looking utterly bewildered. "That's weird."
The disciples huddled together, whispering among themselves.
One of them tilted his head back and said excitedly, "A competition between the holy sons of Sacred Domain top holy lands and the holy maidens of the second holy lands is quite rare!"
The other person said with certainty, "Whether it's common or not, the result is the same; the Holy Son will definitely win."
The others nearby nodded in agreement, echoing, "That's true."
Ring
Nalan Fu gripped the bone whip tightly in her jade-like hand, and the bone whip twisted flexibly like a snake's tail.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Nan Xunran, and she announced loudly, "Divine Son Xunran, it begins!"
Nan Xunran nodded calmly.
The next instant, Nalan Fu lightly touched the ground with her left foot, and her figure floated up gracefully.
The bone whip in his hand spun in the air, accompanied by a whooshing sound, and Nan Xunran.
Nan Xunran slightly to the side, the whip barely brushing past his cheek and lifting a few strands of hair.
Nalan Fu's lips curled up, and she exerted force with her arm again. The bone whip made a deafening sound in the air, and the whip shadows intertwined to form an impenetrable net.
Nan Xunran up lightly and stood steadily on the bone whip, looking down at her from a superior position.
Seeing this, Nalan Fu exerted force with both hands, and the bone whip instantly burst forth with powerful strength, lifting Nan Xunran into the air.
Using the strength of the bone whip, Nan Xunran stood steadily in mid-air, and with a light wave of his right hand, a burst of energy shot towards Nalan Fu.
Nalan Fu neither dodged nor evaded, her eyes burning with a mad flame, she stepped into the air and charged straight at him.
Nan Xunran an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Nalan Fu took the blow head-on, blood instantly spilling from the corner of her mouth. She lost her balance and plummeted straight down.
In the brief moment of falling, she swung her bone whip with all her might. The bone whip, like a nimble snake, suddenly wrapped around Nan Xunran's waist at an extremely tricky angle.
With a loud "boom," Nalan Fu crashed heavily to the ground, creating a shallow crater and sending dust flying.
But her hands still gripped the bone whip tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Nalan Fu grinned, then used her last bit of strength to pull Nan Xunran forcefully to her side.
She struggled to lift her head, her voice weak yet filled with obsession. "... I lost."
Then, with a dreamy look in her eyes, she gazed at Nan Xunran and murmured, "... You really are strong. Only in this way can you be the one I love."
As soon as she finished speaking, her head lolled to the side and she fell into a coma. The bone whip wrapped around Nan Xunran's waist also loosened and fell to the ground.
[The Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate, Nalan Fu, was severely injured by her host.]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points reduced by 1000]
[Host's Kill Points increased by 9000 points]
Nalan Xu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Thank you for Divine Son Xunran."
Nan Xunran replied calmly, "It's nothing."
From below the stage, Pei Zimo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "Her madness is comparable to Shangguan Xieyue's."
Lin Hongyu nodded in agreement, echoing, "Another madman."
Feng Chi leaned against one side, looking at the scene with complicated emotions, thinking to himself: If the boss hadn't shown mercy, Nalan Fu would have died on the spot if she had taken that blow.
The difference in their abilities was like night and day; she couldn't even tell how much of her boss's strength he had used.
She just recklessly endured the pain, without considering whether she would lose her life.
Nalan Fu's final outburst, though seemingly powerful, was at most a tickle to the boss; the boss didn't even need to dodge.
Feng Chi initially thought that Nalan Fu was trying to distract the boss by taking the attack head-on, so she could unleash her ultimate move.
Who would have thought her target was the boss? She endured the pain just for that. What a madwoman!
Nalan Xu approached Wan Huaishan with a worried expression, cupped her hands, and said, "Brother Wan, Fu'er's injuries are too severe this time. I wonder if we could stay in the Holy Land for a couple of days?"
Wan Huaishan readily agreed, "Of course, I'll send you some medicinal herbs later."
Nalan Xu quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much, Brother Wan."
A flash of light appeared in his palm, and the unconscious Nalan Fu vanished instantly.
Then, he turned and shouted sternly at Long, "Follow me."
Long, who had been silent all along, finally moved and slowly followed behind.
Nalan Xu took a few steps, then turned back Nan Xunran, "Divine Son Xunran, we'll be leaving now."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly.
Watching their departing figures, Pei Zimo leaned closer to Lin Hongyu and whispered, "Isn't the master capable of curing her?"
Lin Hongyu blinked and replied, "Yes, even if she dies, the master can bring her back to life."
At this moment, Feng Chi turned his head and casually said, "Are you very familiar with her, boss? Why did you save her?"
