Zhu Zhuqing instantly took a step back, her body transforming into a black shadow that vanished from the spot, appearing behind Dugu Yan in the next instant.
Dugu Yan turned around instantly, her left hand tightly gripping the Blue Silver Poison Dragon Spear.
The poisonous Poison Dragon condensed at the tip of the spear, Rulong emerging from the abyss, intertwined with Poison Dragon black shadow in the air, stirring up gusts of wind.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed in the air and disappeared instantly, appearing behind Dugu Yan in the next moment. Her sixth Soul Ring shone, and a chilling aura surged forth. In Zhu Zhuqing's hand, a slender longsword made of transparent blue ice crystals condensed.
Dugu Yan didn't turn around; her gaze was fixed on Zhu Zhuqing. The Blue Silver Poison Dragon Spear in her hand trembled slightly, emitting a strong energy fluctuation. Zhu Zhuqing instantly appeared behind Dugu Yan, thrusting her transparent blue ice crystal longsword towards Dugu Yan's back. Dugu Yan turned around instantly, swinging her Blue Silver Poison Dragon Spear and colliding with the ice crystal longsword.
"Boom!"
Two powerful energies collided in mid-air, creating a deafening roar. Dugu Yan's body was thrown back by the explosive force and slammed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The audience's hearts raced instantly; they saw Zhu Zhuqing's attack was extremely fierce, while Dugu Yan seemed frozen in place, unable to move.
Dugu Yan knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her face was pale, and her body trembled slightly. She was filled with fear, not expecting Zhu Zhuqing to be so powerful. She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless Abyss.
A flicker of reluctance crossed Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, but it quickly hardened. She walked to Dugu Yan's side and reached out to help her up. Dugu Yan looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, a hint of confusion in her eyes, but still placed her hand on Zhu Zhuqing's, letting her help her up. "Are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly. Dugu Yan shook her head slightly. She felt a tightness in her chest, but still managed to say, "I'm fine."
"Let's continue."
A faint blue light emanated from Dugu Yan's body, Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone Skill, Endless Life, causing her injuries to heal at a visible speed.
The two then distanced themselves. Zhu Zhuqing's Sixth Soul Ring lit up, and layer upon layer of ice crystals covered her body. As the sword light approached, a flash of cold light appeared, and Dugu Yan was instantly frozen in place.
But at that moment, Dugu Yan, who was frozen in the ice, suddenly let out a sharp cry, and her body shone with a bright blue light. The ice that had frozen her instantly cracked and turned into countless ice shards.
A resolute glint flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes, and her left arm bone and right leg bone simultaneously released a pale blue light, as golden Blue Silver Grass gradually formed golden armor on her body.
" Zhu Zhuqing, this is my last move. Let's settle this with one strike." Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, her voice leaving no room for doubt. Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dugu Yan, a resolute glint in her eyes, and gripped her ice crystal longsword tightly.
" Emperor Sword - Peerless Ice Blade"
The ice crystal longsword in Zhu Zhuqing's hand emitted a bright blue light, and a chilling aura enveloped the entire arena. A fierce pressure instantly erupted from the longsword, as if it wanted to freeze everything.
Dugu Yan once again conjured the Blue Silver Poison Dragon Spear, but this time the Blue Silver Poison Dragon Spear had become much more ethereal. Her face grew even paler, and the Magic Power within her body surged wildly as she fully propelled her Blue Silver Poison Dragon Spear toward Zhu Zhuqing.
"Boom! Boom!" Two enormous bursts of energy resounded throughout the arena, and the powerful shockwaves caused the air to vibrate violently. The entire arena was largely destroyed by this terrifying collision, leaving only a portion intact.
Dugu Yan coughed up blood and flew backward, the Blue Silver Poison Dragon Spear that had slipped from her hand turning into specks of light and disappearing into the sky. She barely managed to regain her footing when she landed on the edge of the arena.
Zhu Zhuqing was also sent flying backward, but she seemed to be in much better condition than Dugu Yan. Although she also suffered some impact, she was not as badly injured as Dugu Yan and slid for more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
"I lost." Dugu Yan spat out another mouthful of blood. Just then, Zhu Zhuqing instantly appeared beside Dugu Yan and helped her up.
" Sister Yanyan, are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern.
"It's nothing, just a little overdrawn Soul Power, it's alright," Dugu Yan replied slowly. Then, she looked at Zhu Zhuqing with gentle eyes and said, " Zhu Zhuqing, you are really strong. I am not as strong as you, but I am very happy to have a sister like you."
" Sister Yanyan, I'm very happy too."
Although the two women are rivals in the ring, off the ring they both love the same man and both strive to do their best so as not to be a burden to him.
" Zhu Zhuqing, your next opponent is Jun Yi. That brat has been watching the show the whole time; you should teach him a lesson," Dugu Yan said with a smile.
"I will try my best."
After hearing this, Dugu Yan smiled faintly and then jumped off the stage.
The others were also quite sensible, jumping off the stage one after another, leaving only Zhu Zhuqing and Jun Yi in the huge arena.
" Zhu Zhuqing, let's not fight anymore," Jun Yi said with a slight smile.
"No way! I've worked so hard so I could really see the difference between us."
Let's not.
The two of them actually started bickering in such a serious setting, completely baffling the audience below the ring. Can't they just fight properly? Everyone is looking forward to an exciting battle, not being fed dog food here.
However, some people in the audience also understood the implication in Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing's words. It sounded as if Jun Yi was much stronger than Zhu Zhuqing. Just how strong was Jun Yi?
"Alright, alright, whatever you say. I'll play one more game with you."
Jun Yi slowly waved his hand, and a chilling aura surged forth. A slender ice blade materialized in his hand. His tone carried a hint of mockery, and his eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly, gripped the ice crystal longsword in her hand, and all the Soul Ring on her body began to shine. She knew that this was a contest between her and Jun Yi, and also a challenge for herself.
Jun Yi leaped lightly, his body as nimble as a bird, instantly closing the distance between himself and Zhu Zhuqing. The ice blade in his hand moved like a serpent emerging from its hole, slashing towards Zhu Zhuqing's throat at an extremely tricky angle.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly adjusted her footwork, skillfully dodging the attack with an elusive movement. Her Sixth Soul Ring instantly shone, the surrounding air slightly distorted, and a chilling aura swept towards Jun Yi.
