Chapter 866: Struggling to Qualify
(Chapter Eight Hundred and Sixty-Six)
"Am I seeing things? He Erniang, ranked twenty-first on the Flying Immortal Ranking, lost? The Qianyuan Ice Flame was actually devoured by the secret fire Li Muxian released?"
"Though I want to say it's impossible, the facts are right before us. Seeing is believing."
"Li Muxian may be the top expert among Great Tang's younger generation, but defeating He Erniang in less than ten breaths? That was way too fast!"
The local cultivators of Flying Immortal City buzzed with discussion, their expressions varied.
Murong Xiaoxiao, Liu Xu, and the other Great Tang cultivators all wore faint smiles. At least Shi Yue's actions had won back some face for the Great Tang Cultivation World.
"Fellow Daoist He, will you concede? If you don't, my next attack could cost you your life. You've seen how powerful my Tianyan Bird is. Though you have an Ice Attribute Variant Spiritual Root, you happen to be countered by Li Mou." Shi Yue spoke coldly.
"Tianyan Bird? That's the name of the secret fire you cultivate?" The blue-robed young man stared intently at Shi Yue, his face full of unwillingness.
"Something like that! Do you still want to keep fighting?" Shi Yue didn't reveal the true nature of the Exotic Fire and answered ambiguously.
The blue-robed young man's expression shifted between light and dark. After letting out a long breath, he said grimly, "So you're Li Muxian of Great Tang. I'll remember you. I forgot to tell you that I'm He Tianyu of the Cold Flame Sect. I'll take this as my loss. At the next Flying Immortal Gathering, I'll definitely defeat you."
His greatest reliance, the Qianyuan Ice Flame, was gone. Continuing to fight would only bring further humiliation. He might as well concede honestly.
