The two exchanged a glance and naturally had no choice but to give up the match. Moreover, at this point, not giving up the match was tantamount to giving up their lives.
Qi Ling, watching from the sidelines, could see clearly that the two of them were not without a chance of winning against the Holy Weeping Mantis. As long as they could withstand the Holy Weeping Mantis's sudden attack and then pursue it, preventing it from escaping the battle, they could easily kill it.
This is because Qi Ling has noticed that the reason why this Holy Weeping Mantis can appear and disappear so mysteriously is not only because it has extremely fast speed, but also because it can use a special spatial power, which is the essence of its strength.
Even its destruction of the two men's weapons was achieved through this power, a direct act of destruction; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to do so with just its scythe.
The biggest weakness of this kind of monster is that any of its attacks requires the accumulation of power. This includes sudden attacks and the spatial power that destroys weapons; both require it to accumulate power during battle.
"Sigh, there's really nothing I can do. If they could see through this, perhaps they wouldn't be limited to this level of strength," Qi Ling thought helplessly.
Two groups had finished their competitions, leaving only Qi Ling and Qian Xunji's group. Qian Xunji glanced at Qi Ling, then stood up and walked towards the competition area.
"Huh? Qian Xunji, shouldn't we wait until Qi Ling and the others come on stage before making any plans?" Xue Qinghe asked, puzzled, seeing Qian Xunji walk up like that. He had thought Qian Xunji would wait until Qi Ling finished her match before going on stage.
"If he just picks a level 20 difficulty one, what are you going to do, follow his lead?!" Qian Xunji said helplessly. "I've already said, we can't beat him in this round. Competing after him will only be humiliating!"
Xue Qinghe thought about it and realized that it made sense. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true that if it were Qi Ling, there was no way she could lose to them.
"Hmm, you've considered this for so long, have you made your choice yet?" Xiluo looked at Xue Qinghe and Qian Xunji and couldn't help but ask, "What difficulty level of monster do you plan to choose?"
According to Xiluo, a level 10 magical beast is already equivalent to One-Ring True God. Qian Xunji's current strength is almost at that level, but unfortunately, he can no longer be called a True God and condense his first Soul Ring.
So Qian Xunji gritted his teeth and said, "Let's choose a level 10 monster to challenge!"
"Huh? Level 10, huh? That's quite courageous," Xiluo laughed. "Every 10 levels a monster gains, its strength changes significantly. Level 10 is exactly the first time that change happens. Are you sure you want to choose a monster of this level?"
Qian Xunji's expression changed. In that case, level 9 and level 10 are only one point apart, but the difficulty is worlds apart. This deal is too unfair.
But now that he had already spoken, how could he take it back? So Qian Xunji could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm sure, we'll choose a level 10 monster."
"Hehe, well then, good luck to you both." Xiluo smiled, then stepped aside, leaving the arena to Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe.
The Devil Realm watching from the surrounding area seemed surprised that Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe would dare to challenge someone of such a high level, and they cheered even more enthusiastically.
This arena in the Devil Realm was clearly transformed using a very special power. Its actual area is much larger than it appears, allowing people to fight freely. It also seems to utilize some kind of spatial power.
The more the people around them cheered, the uglier Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe's expressions became, because this undoubtedly meant that these people were waiting to see a good show, which meant that they did not believe Qian Xunji would win at all.
As the arena gates slowly opened, a clear phoenix cry rang out from the other side of the gates, accompanied by flickering clusters of black flames.
After the gate was opened, a black Phoenix, its entire body enveloped in black flames, soared into the sky and flew directly into the air. As it flew, feathers made of black flames fell to the ground and burned continuously.
Level 10 Devil Realm Beast, Death Flame Phoenix, a mutated race of the Phoenix clan. The flames that originally represented rebirth have all been transformed into the power of death, possessing a powerful force that inspires despair.
Qian Xunji's expression darkened further as he watched the Death Flame Phoenix soaring through the air. Creatures of the Devil Realm cannot be judged by the standards of the ordinary world. Moreover, even in the ordinary world, Phoenix are legendary creatures.
Just as the number of the Devil Realm God Ring a person possesses can be used to judge their strength, the strength of these Devil Realm beasts can be roughly determined by the intensity of the demonic energy they emit.
This Death Flame Phoenix Death Flame Phoenix is on a completely different level in strength compared to the previous two magical beasts; it is far superior to them.
"Damn it, there's no other way. Even so, we have to go for it." Qian Xunji said through gritted teeth. " Xue Qinghe, transform into your dragon form first and test its strength!"
"Sigh? Why do I have to go again?" Xue Qinghe couldn't help but complain, but seeing Xue Qinghe Qian Xunji's serious eyes, she could only helplessly say, "Ah, okay, okay, I'll go then."
Then Xue Qinghe transformed into Evil Dragon again, but compared to the flames of the Death Flame Phoenix, the evil aura on his body was immediately suppressed, making him appear even dimmer.
This stark contrast in power demonstrates the strength of the Death Flame Phoenix and also shows that Xue Qinghe is still some distance from reaching that level of power.
A dragon and a phoenix were locked in fierce combat in the air. The Evil Dragon wrapped its body Entanglement the Phoenix's body, attempting to restrict the Phoenix's movements.
But to Xue Qinghe's surprise, when he came into contact with the Phoenix's black flames, a burning pain came from his body. His evil energy was actually unable to withstand the power of the flames!
" Qian Xunji, you'd better hurry up, I can't hold on much longer! It's burning me!" Xue Qinghe said to Qian Xunji in grief. Judging from his appearance, he really couldn't hold on for much longer.
Although Xue Qinghe used this method to prevent the Death Flame Phoenix from exerting its various abilities and create an opportunity for Qian Xunji, it consumed a great deal of energy from himself and he couldn't hold out for long.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe was using his evil energy to suppress the power of the Phoenix with all his might. When his evil energy was exhausted, the Phoenix would retaliate. Therefore, Qian Xunji had to launch an attack before that happened.
At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Qian Xunji unfurled six pairs of black wings behind him, his body covered in black armor, and an evil and ominous aura spread out.
Then, Qian Xunji stretched out his right hand in the air, and a long spear gradually appeared in his hand. The original spear shaft was now covered with another kind of strange pattern.
The demonic spear that Qian Xunji seized from Cao Yang has, after being refined over this period of time, finally become Qian Xunji's power. As a result, Qian Xunji's power is now much stronger than that of people of the same level.
