Water and Fire Clash, Killed with One Palm

The Astral Battlefield is a desolate asteroid belt.

Shui Yan'er stood proudly, holding a longsword that burned with red and blue flames.

Although her breathing was somewhat disordered and a trace of blood had spilled from the corner of her mouth.

But in her beautiful eyes burned a fierce fighting spirit, as intense as a raging fire!

[You want me to be your furnace/cauldron?]

[Dream!]

Even if I die, I'll take one of you down with me!

Hehehehe...

Accompanied by a sickeningly loud laugh, two figures exuding an evil aura slowly emerged from the Xukong.

"Little girl, running away? Why aren't you running anymore?" The Valley Master Huo looked at her, his eyes filled with the cruelty and mockery of a cat toying with Rat.

"Why waste words with her! Take her down!" The Mysterious Nether Sect Master was even more impatient, transforming into a streak of dark blue light and launching a fierce attack!

"Good timing!"

Shui Yan'er shouted, advancing instead of retreating!

The longsword in his hand transformed into a dazzling sword rainbow interwoven with water and fire, and he charged forward!

"Boom--!"

A terrifying energy storm instantly swept across the entire star field!

The three of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle!

However, the difference in their levels of understanding is ultimately an insurmountable chasm.

Both the Valley Master Huo and the Mysterious Nether Sect Master are veteran Late-Stage Nascent Soul experts. Their magical power and combat experience far surpass those of Shui Yan'er, who has just entered the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul.

In just a short while, Shui Yan'er was in grave danger and on the verge of death!

"Hahaha! Little girl, just surrender obediently!" The Valley Master Huo laughed triumphantly, "As long as you serve us well, I guarantee you'll experience ecstasy!"

"Shameless!"

Shui Yan'er's pretty face turned bright red with anger!

She knew she couldn't delay any longer!

"You forced me to do this!"

She took a deep breath, and the nascent Nascent Soul that had just been formed within her body suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

[Black-Grade Divine Ability - Water and Fire Without Interruption]!

"Boom--!!!!"

In an instant!

A terrifying, world-destroying aura erupted from her body!

What appeared to be half crimson flames burning everything, and half extreme cold ice freezing everything for miles around, these two completely opposite forces were perfectly fused together at this moment, transforming into a chaotic millstone capable of crushing everything!

It crushed down on the two Nascent Soul!

"What?!"

"Profound... Black-Grade Divine Ability?!"

The Valley Master Huo and the Mysterious Nether Sect Master were horrified!

They never expected that this seemingly frail little girl would possess such advanced supernatural Divine Ability!

This woman must not be allowed to live!

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with murderous intent!

"Blazing Flame Fist!"

"Ice Palm!"

The two roared simultaneously and unleashed their most powerful Yellow-Grade Divine Ability!

On the right fist of the Valley Master Huo, crimson flames gathered wildly, instantly transforming into a blazing fireball like a miniature sun. The surrounding air was distorted beyond recognition by the high temperature, and a rumbling sound like churning magma could be faintly heard emanating from within!

The Mysterious Nether Sect Master pushed out with his left palm, and endless chilling energy condensed into a huge frost handprint in his palm. The palm lines were clearly visible, and each line seemed to be a crack in the extreme cold hell. Wherever it passed, even the Xukong seemed to be frozen, leaving behind white frost tracks!

"Boom--!"

Three terrifying forces collided violently in mid-air!

At that moment, the very space trembled violently!

Shui Yan'er gritted her teeth and held on with all her might!

However, at that very moment!

The Valley Master Huo and the Mysterious Nether Sect Master were astonished to discover that their originally mutually repelling flame and ice Divine Ability, under the impact and pressure of Shui Yan'er's "Water and Fire Without Interruption" power, actually... faintly produced a strange resonance and... fusion?!

Its power has increased by a staggering 30% out of nowhere!

"Boom--!"

A loud bang!

That chaotic millstone ultimately couldn't withstand the impact of this fusion power and shattered with a crash!

"Puff!"

Shui Yan'er was struck as if by lightning, and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto a meteorite. Blood gushed out, and her aura instantly weakened to the extreme!

On the other hand, although the two Nascent Soul were also somewhat disheveled, thanks to their profound cultivation and the fact that the two of them shared the burden, their energy expenditure was far less than that of Shui Yan'er!

"Hahaha! Thank you for your gift, Holy Maiden!"

As the Valley Master Huo felt that new and even more powerful force, he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter!

"I never expected that you, little girl, could actually help us perfect our Divine Ability!"

In return...

He licked his lips, approaching step by step, his eyes gleaming with lewd light.

"... We will definitely take good care of you!"

The Valley Master Huo and the Mysterious Nether Sect Master exchanged a glance, both seeing the barely suppressed joy and... cruelty in each other's eyes!

"Again!"

"Blazing Flame Fist / Ice Palm!"

"Water and fire combined attack!"

The two of them shouted at the same time!

Having just tasted success, they once again pushed their respective Divine Ability to the limit!

And this time, they were even more skilled and more in sync!

The originally distinct flames and ice suddenly intertwined and spun rapidly in mid-air, transforming into an even more violent and terrifying red and blue tornado, which descended upon Shui Yan'er with a world-destroying force!

Damn it!

Shui Yan'er's pretty face turned deathly pale. She held on to her last breath and once again urged the spiritual energy in her body that had long since dried up.

"Water and Fire Without Interruption!"

However, this time, the chaotic millstone had barely taken shape when it shattered instantly before the terrifying Spiral Storm, like fragile glass!

"Boom!"

The terrifying shockwave violently threw her away, slamming her heavily onto the cold meteorite, where she could no longer move an inch.

"Hahaha! Little girl, accept your fate!"

"To thank you, from this day forward, Blazing Flame Valley and Mysterious Nether Sect will join forces completely! At that time, who in the entire Azure Realm would dare to disrespect us?!"

The two Nascent Soul, laughing triumphantly, approached step by step, as if watching a lamb to the slaughter.

Shui Yan'er closed her eyes in despair.

[It seems that today, there is truly no escaping this fate...]

In her heart, she silently bid her final farewell.

The image of that cyan figure involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

The man who made that "high-stakes gamble" with her.

[Handsome young man... if there is an afterlife... I will definitely...]

A poignant smile played on her lips as she prepared to sever her own heart meridian, determined to die rather than suffer dishonor!

Just then!

"I think it's you who should accept your fate!"

A chilling, yet strangely familiar voice suddenly boomed through the desolate starry sky without warning!

Shui Yan'er suddenly opened her eyes!

A streak of azure light, like lightning piercing the night, arrived in an instant and blocked her path!

"It's you?!"

Shui Yan'er suddenly opened her eyes, looking at that broad and kind back, her heart filled with both surprise and endless worry!

[He... how did he get here?!]

[But... he's only at the Golden Core stage! How could he possibly face two Late-Stage Nascent Soul...?]

She gave a bitter smile.

[To die with you... that wouldn't be bad.]

As Dongfang Yueming looked at the tragic scene before him, his deep eyes were already filled with boundless rage!

"The person who touched me?"

"Court death!"

The two Nascent Soul were also startled, and then flew into a rage!

"Where did this brat come from! Daring to ruin our plans?!"

Without any hesitation, the terrifying Spiral Storm continued its relentless advance, crashing directly down on Dongfang Yueming!

However, Dongfang Yueming merely glanced at them coldly, slowly raised his right hand, and pointed out with one finger.

[Heaven-Grade Divine Ability: Wind God Judgment]!

"Laugh--!"

A beam of cyan spear light, seemingly ordinary, seemed to contain the most primal power of judgment in the world, instantly piercing through the Xukong!

That invincible red and blue storm, upon contact with the spear's edge, melted and disintegrated instantly, like snow meeting the blazing sun!

"What?!"

"What... what kind of Divine Ability is this?!"

The two Nascent Soul were horrified!

They stared intently at Dongfang Yueming, their eyes filled with apprehension and suspicion!

Shui Yan'er was completely dumbfounded, she simply couldn't believe her eyes!

"Boy! Who are you?!" the Valley Master Huo roared, his voice trembling with fear. "You dare meddle in our business? Don't you want to live?!"

Dongfang Yueming ignored them, but turned around and glanced at Shui Yan'er.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Those five simple words miraculously calmed Shui Yan'er's panicked heart.

"Arrogant!"

The Mysterious Nether Sect Master was furious, "Since you want to die, then so be it!"

"Combined attack! Kill him!"

The two joined forces once again, and this time, they burned their life essence, determined to kill this arrogant brat with a single blow!

An even more terrifying red and blue tornado has formed again!

However, Dongfang Yueming merely gave a cold smile.

"Ha, trying to teach a fish to swim."

"Let me show you what... the true way of water and fire really is!"

He formed a hand seal, and an indescribable, immense aura erupted from his body!

[Earth-Grade Divine Ability: Two Aspects Annihilation]!

"Buzz--!!!"

A Tai Chi diagram, containing the interplay of Yin and Yang, and the cycle of life and death, appeared out of thin air and instantly grew to a size of ten thousand feet!

Beneath that diagram, both the terrifying red and blue tornadoes and the two arrogant Nascent Soul experts appeared so small, so... insignificant!

"No--!!!"

"Earth-level... Earth-Grade Divine Ability?!"

"Greed..."

The two Nascent Soul were completely terrified!

They tried to escape, but found themselves locked in place by that terrifying aura, unable to move at all!

"Destroy!"

Dongfang Yueming struck down with his palm!

The Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated, instantly engulfing the two of them!

The two Late-Stage Nascent Soul experts didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes!

In the Xukong, only four fragments of Divine Ability, shimmering with strange light, slowly drifted down.
