Holy Maiden vs. Six-Winged Angel

"Master, I think we can agree to it."

Dongfang Yu suddenly spoke up. None of the three had expected it, because this was no different from suicide.

"Xiao Yu." Bibi Dong looked at him coldly, questioning him with her eyes.

Dongfang Yu did not avoid the gazes of the three of them and merely said calmly, "I am willing to accept this beauty's challenge."

"Nonsense." Bibi Dong rebuked him.

"Master, trust me." Dongfang Yu looked at her with unwavering determination.

Golden Crocodile seized the chance to say, "Exactly, Your Holiness. Your disciple has agreed already, so why are you still being stubborn?"

"You!"

"Xiao Yu, do you know what this means?"

"I do."

"You really know?" Bibi Dong asked again, as if possessed.

Dongfang Yu smiled faintly. "I really do."

After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong gave Qian Renxue a meaningful look. Qian Renxue, too, read the warning in her eyes.

But would she care?

You like this disciple, don't you? Then I'll kill him no matter what!

"Then decide for yourself." Bibi Dong spoke helplessly.

"Beauty, shall we?" Dongfang Yu looked at Qian Renxue with a dashing smile, as though he truly did not fear death.

"Hmph!" Qian Renxue left the Papal Hall first, while the other three followed at an unhurried pace.

This was an arena set outside Spirit Hall, known as Hundred-Man Kill. It was also a familiar place to Dongfang Yu—he had killed quite a few people here before. The bloody stench within the arena seemed not to have faded with time, but rather to have taken root there.

Breathing in the faint scent of blood in the air, Dongfang Yu was briefly dazed. After several years, he had returned.

Golden Crocodile frowned slightly below the stage. A place like this was highly disadvantageous to Qian Renxue's martial soul. She would be affected to some extent.

"Your Holiness, why here?"

"Do you want her exposed before the public?"

"That's not it..." Golden Crocodile could not say anything more. Qian Renxue could fly, after all. A little baleful aura should not affect her much, especially when her level was higher than her opponent's.

"Then begin." Bibi Dong spoke indifferently, then gave Dongfang Yu a look.

Dongfang Yu froze. Damn, that look meant she wanted him to go for the kill. She really did not treat Qian Renxue as her daughter.

This place would definitely affect Qian Renxue, who was new to it, but not him. In fact, it could even be said to enhance him.

My master!

You really have gone to great lengths!

"Qian Renxue, Level 57, five-ring Soul King. Martial soul—Six-Winged Angel." Qian Renxue looked coldly at Dongfang Yu. She had not expected him to still dare to be distracted at a time like this.

Hearing that Qian Renxue was ready to summon her martial soul, Dongfang Yu immediately collected his thoughts.

"Dongfang Yu, Level 45, four-ring Soul Ancestor. Martial soul—Holy Maiden. Please enlighten me, beauty." Over the past two months, Dongfang Yu had completely absorbed the medicinal power of the Qiluo Tulip, and his level had reached 45. Such cultivation speed was absolutely unprecedented in the world.

"Bastard!" Qian Renxue cursed under her breath. Then wings unfurled from her back as she rose directly into the air, the Six-Winged Angel martial soul appearing behind her.

At that moment, she seemed like the Creator's favored child. A sacred, inviolable aura filled the space around her, making others unable to resist the urge to worship her.

Dongfang Yu could not help sighing inwardly. As expected of the god-level Six-Winged Angel martial soul. It was the most powerful martial soul he had seen so far—even the Golden Generation could not compare.

The next moment, wings also spread from Dongfang Yu's back as he rose into the air, the Holy Maiden appearing behind him.

For a moment, both their auras reached their peaks!

It was as though two newly born gods were about to battle to the death!

"Heh!" Seeing this martial soul again, Qian Renxue sneered coldly. No matter how extraordinary you are, you will die today!

"First Soul Skill—Angel Assault!"

As soon as she spoke, the Six-Winged Angel behind Qian Renxue clenched its fist tightly. Sacred energy rapidly gathered within it, and then it threw a punch!

Dongfang Yu narrowed his eyes. Qian Renxue truly was no joke!

"First Soul Skill—Holy Sword!"

The Holy Maiden behind him suddenly raised an enormous sword of light, then slashed it toward Qian Renxue!

Boom!!

The two soul skills collided, creating a massive shockwave that sent both of them staggering several steps back through the air.

The first exchange ended in a draw.

"Second Soul Skill—Holy Light Spike!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A rain of light swords shot toward Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly. The wings of the Six-Winged Angel behind her instantly expanded tenfold, shielding her within them the very next second.

This was her third soul skill—Angel's Protection!

Under the fierce barrage, Qian Renxue remained completely unscathed.

"Damn it!" Dongfang Yu cursed inwardly and activated the Holy Domain. He had realized that he would not gain much of an advantage through soul skills alone.

Seeing Dongfang Yu charge at her with his sword raised and his domain active, Qian Renxue refused to be outdone. A sword of light formed in her hand as she rushed forward to meet him.

Watching the two in the sky fight fiercely, with neither able to gain the upper hand, Bibi Dong could not help frowning. That wretch was rather clever. She had thought Qian Renxue would arrogantly insist on fighting in the arena.

Next, they could only hope Xiao Yu found a way to knock her down, because only inside the arena would Xiao Yu's chances of winning increase greatly. He surely understood that himself.

"Your Holiness seems very worried?" Golden Crocodile watched the two in the sky calmly, as though he had everything under control.

"Sending a Soul King to deal with a Soul Ancestor—the Douluo Hall's methods truly are extraordinary." Bibi Dong mocked him in return.

Golden Crocodile would not be provoked by a few words from her. Since they had already decided to do this, there was no reason to regret it. At worst, people would say they had won unfairly afterward. That would still cause far less trouble than if they had personally intervened.

The scene shifted to the sky.

Dongfang Yu was panting heavily by now. Looking at his opponent, her aura had only weakened slightly. She was in far better condition than he was. The gap in soul power was a fatal weakness.

Damn it, no wonder she'll become the youngest god in the future. Even my Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring can't do anything to her. This is a real pain in the ass!

Moreover, her martial soul was the same type as his—both were Angel-type martial souls. He could not suppress her at all.

"Tired?" Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly, like the smile of the Grim Reaper.

"After fighting for so long, it's my turn now!"

With that, Qian Renxue raised her sword and charged at him again!

Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth as he defended himself, all the while desperately thinking of a way to knock her down.

For him, the Hundred-Man Kill arena was his true home ground. In the sky, everything he had, she had as well. This was not the best place to fight.

Several minutes later.

Qian Renxue shouted coldly, "Coward! Why are you hiding?"

Then she charged at him with her sword again!

Dongfang Yu frantically communicated with Angewomon in his mind:

"Angewomon, hurry up and help! If you don't act now, I'm really going to die!"
