Chapter 944: Lu Xiu vs. Yuwei

Although Yuan Xiuya did not want to earn the reputation of colluding with the cultivators of Wenxian City.

But there was no other way; they had already been forced into a desperate situation.

If they did not join forces with the Wenxian City cultivators, once the Wenxian City cultivators were defeated and retreated.

The only thing awaiting them would be being surrounded and killed by Cao Tian and the others.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to do this.

The other Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect and the Sacred Palace clearly realized this as well.

Therefore, when Yaoguang and Yuan Xiuya called out, they did not hesitate in the slightest and responded one after another.

Although the cultivators from the Sacred Palace and the Beast Taming Sect added up to only thirty-some people.

Yet, they included two Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators: Yuan Xiuya and Yaoguang.

Especially Yaoguang.

Although their strength could not compare to the Leader Stage, it was significantly more powerful than an ordinary Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivator.

And in the enemy camp.

The Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators and a large number of Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivators with outstanding combat power had all been pulled away to intercept the three stunning female cultivators of Wenxian City and Jiuyou.

With the lack of top-tier power, in terms of individual combat strength, no one could contend with the two of them.

They could only rely on their numerical advantage to employ joint-attack techniques to pin them down.

This also resulted in Yuan Xiuya and Yaoguang alone holding back over a hundred of the enemy.

However, even so, their side still fell into a disadvantage.

After all, the disparity in numbers between the two sides was simply too great.

But it would also be difficult for the Outside the Realm Army to wipe out the Wenxian City team in a short period of time.

Seeing that the situation was somewhat deadlocked, Yuwei prepared to join the battlefield.

A figure suddenly appeared before her, "I know that Fairy Yuwei is not of the same mind as Cao Tian and the others, and I do not wish to be your enemy either. How about you and I stay here and honestly watch the battle?"

Yuwei looked at the person who had arrived, her gaze flickering, "Lu Xianzi is full of surprises; Yuwei is impressed."

"Yuwei does not wish for things to develop to this point with you all either, but unfortunately, the situation forces it..."

Having said this, she sighed, "Lu Xianzi, forgive me."

As soon as her voice fell, dazzling golden light suddenly surged from her body.

This golden light quickly condensed and shrank on the surface of her body, turning into a long golden dress in the blink of an eye.

With the appearance of the golden dress, the soft and weak temperament she possessed underwent a massive transformation.

That gaze, which usually seemed to lack confidence and was always somewhat evasive, became firm.

A strong sense of aggression surged within it.

It was as if her personality had changed.

Even the tone of her voice became overbearing, "Lu Xianzi, I know I shouldn't have forced you all to this point, but this is also a matter of no choice."

"Rest assured, I will spare your life."

As soon as her voice fell, her figure flashed, and she suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xiu.

A punch was thrown.

Brilliant golden light covered her fist, smashing toward Lu Xiu like a small sun.

Boom~

Dazzling golden light spread out, accompanied by violent power.

The next moment.

A figure flew backward out of the golden light.

The massive commotion caused the entire battlefield to pause for a moment.

Cao Tian, having blocked a strike from Xiao Keke, looked toward the battlefield of Yuwei and Mu Lingxi.

His gaze lingered on the repelled Mu Lingxi, without showing any surprise.

Yuwei was, after all, the person hailed by the Ancient God Palace as the number one genius in ten thousand years.

With only Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, she had already cultivated the Ancient God Palace's supreme Inheritance Technique, the Ancient God Art, to the Great Success Level.

Such an achievement had never been seen since the founding of the Ancient God Palace.

Her combat power had already reached a level that could be called exaggerated.

With Yuwei's strength, suppressing Lu Xiu was only natural.

After a clash, Ye Lingyun and Xuan Che each retreated and looked toward Yuwei, their gazes flickering, wondering what they were thinking.

Mu Lingxi forcibly steadied her figure and looked into the golden light, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

Such powerful strength!

Although she had not used powerful means before, her cultivation had already been raised to the "Tenth-Tier" level.

Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to easily severely injure even a Leader Stage cultivator.

However.

Facing Yuwei, she had been repelled.

Moreover, the other party seemed not to have used her full strength yet.

This combat power...

It is extraordinary!

And from this strike.

She also discovered some information.

Yuwei's power looked somewhat similar to Nangong Yu's, but there was an essential difference.

Nangong Yu's attacks are primarily based on physical strength, with cultivation and Technique as supplements.

Yuwei's attacks are exactly the opposite; while she also possesses both, she relies primarily on cultivation and Technique, with physical strength as a supplement.

If Nangong Yu's strength is supported more by innate talent.

Then Yuwei's strength is supported more by profound Technique.

She has cultivated a very powerful Technique!

Swish~

Just as Mu Lingxi's thoughts flickered.

Yuwei flew over like a small golden sun, ferociously crashing toward her.

Mu Lingxi's gaze flashed, and she released her full cultivation, which surged wildly from her body.

One of the two has weaker cultivation but domineering attacks and powerful Technique, while the other relies entirely on cultivation and combat experience, seemingly lacking any particularly strong methods.

The two fought intensely, the battle locked in a stalemate.

"How is this Lu Xiu's cultivation so strong!"

Seeing the two locked in a battle as intense as a needle against a wheat awn, Cao Tian's expression changed.

The intensity of the Will Power that Lu Xiu displayed had actually become much stronger again!

How on earth did she manage to do that?

Even Jiu You revealed a look of surprise.

As fellow breakers of the Ninth-Order Will Level Limit, Lu Xiu seems to have gone much further than them!

Xuan Che frowned, staring at Lu Xiu, his expression flickering.

The cultivation that Lu Xiu is displaying at this moment is already no weaker than the Demoness from before!

First the Demoness, and now this Lu Xiu...

Could it be...

Is the Ninth-Order Will Stage truly not the end of the Nascent Soul Stage?

But, how can one step onto this path?

"Fighting with Ye, yet you dare to be distracted?"

Just as Xuan Che's thoughts were turning, a soft laugh suddenly came.

The next moment.

Ye Lingyun's face suddenly came into view, and immediately, a scorching aura rushed toward him.

Ye Lingyun pressed his two fingers together; on his fingers, viscous deep blue flames circled like flowing water, spreading out from his fingertips to form a cone shape.

Its tip was already less than three feet away from Xuan Che.

Xuan Che was shocked.

His Artistic Conception of Ice erupted, and all the power in his body surged forth.

A layer of ice crystals instantly appeared on his body for protection.

Crack~

Amidst the flying ice shards, Xuan Che flew backward.

While flying backward, Xuan Che, relying on his rich combat experience, anticipated that his opponent would definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity to pursue.

He forcibly suppressed the chaotic power within his body, causing the power inside to instantly return to calm.

The price was suffering a backlash, with his internal organs shaken and injured.

He let out a muffled groan, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Ignoring his own injuries, he urged the Spiritual Power within his body to shroud himself.

But immediately after, he was stunned to find that the expected pursuit did not come.

He steadied his figure, turned his head to look, and his face darkened.

At this moment.

He finally understood why Ye Lingyun had not pursued him, because Ye Lingyun had taken the opportunity to fly toward the battlefield where a group of Seventh-Order Will Stage and Eighth-Order Will Stage Cultivators were fighting.

His target was very clear.

It was Kong Yu!
