Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 58
She Needs to Get Home and Take Care of the Child!

The seats below the arena were filling up, with many onlookers gathering to watch the spectacle.

Hearing that the stakes of the contest between the Qi and Jiang families had been changed, everyone was eager to see who would emerge victorious.

Both families had wagered everything they had in Nanli City!

On the arena, the members of both families retreated, leaving only Luo Ruying and Chen Rou facing each other.

A barrier rose around the circular arena, enclosing it completely.

Battles between cultivators were extremely dangerous, especially those with higher cultivation levels. Their attacks could shake the heavens and earth, causing collateral damage.

Therefore, utmost caution was required when conducting such contests within the city.

Ning Yechen sat in the audience, holding Luo Hongye and watching calmly. Qi Yuan sat beside him.

Qi Yuan’s expression was a mix of worry and nervousness as she watched Luo Ruying on the arena, her hands clasped tightly together.

Luo Hongye, sitting in Ning Yechen’s lap, looked up at him with a worried expression.

“Daddy, is Mommy going to fight with the bad guy again?”

“Yes, but don’t worry, Ye Ye. Your mommy is very strong.”

Ning Yechen comforted her with a smile, gently stroking her head.

He knew his wife’s strength well.

She could almost kill a peak Heavenly God Realm expert with a single sword strike, let alone this small fry at the peak of the Heaven Human Realm.

Even if something unexpected happened, he could intervene secretly without anyone noticing.

He would never let Luo Ruying get hurt.

Qi Yuan, sitting beside Ning Yechen, couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

She both hoped that Luo Ruying would win and worried about her getting injured.

If Luo Ruying were to get hurt because of her, she would feel terrible.

How could she face Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye then…

On the arena, Chen Rou looked at Luo Ruying with a confident smile, spreading his arms wide.

“Come on~ Let me see what you’re capable of~”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ruying’s brows furrowed, and her figure vanished from the spot!

Only a faint golden afterimage remained!

Hmm?!

Before Chen Rou could react, Luo Ruying’s cold, crimson eyes were already right in front of him!

Her celestial sword was unsheathed, its golden light illuminating his face!

Time seemed to slow down infinitely as the smug and confident expression on Chen Rou’s face gradually morphed into one of terror. His mouth fell open in shock!

So fast!

This speed!

Is she really only at the Heaven Human Realm?!

“Pfft!”

The golden sword beam sliced through Chen Rou’s body, a diagonal cut cleaving downwards!

Blood sprayed out in all directions!

Luo Ruying had no intention of wasting words with Chen Rou. She intended to end this quickly and decisively!

She needed to get home and take care of her child!

“Pfft!!”

Chen Rou spat out blood and immediately retreated, creating distance between them. He then threw out several Heavenly Thunder Orbs!

The Heavenly Thunder Orbs were incredibly powerful, each one containing compressed heavenly lightning energy. They were refined using actual heavenly lightning!

They were extremely valuable!

The explosive power of each orb was enough to kill an Immortal Transformation Realm cultivator with a single strike!

And he had just thrown out over a dozen of them!

This was one of his trump cards, which he had been saving for a long time!

He hadn’t expected this damned woman to be so strong, forcing him to use it without holding back!

The dozen or so Heavenly Thunder Orbs floated around Luo Ruying, surrounding her completely.

“Heavenly Thunder! Explode!”

Chen Rou commanded with a furious shout, pointing his fingers.

The Heavenly Thunder Orbs flashed with lightning and exploded instantly!

Seeing this, Luo Ruying remained calm. She gracefully twirled her celestial sword and plunged it into the ground.

Sword energy rippled outwards, and a transparent golden barrier enveloped her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The Heavenly Thunder Orbs exploded simultaneously, their combined power truly astonishing!

The entire arena was instantly shattered, reduced to rubble.

The audience near the arena scrambled back in fear.

A thick cloud of dust enveloped the arena.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the stage.

Chen Rou clutched his bleeding chest, a triumphant and sinister smile on his face.

The power of over a dozen Heavenly Thunder Orbs, even if she didn’t die, she would be half-dead!

However, as the dust settled, Luo Ruying stood unharmed before them, her celestial sword in hand, her beautiful figure unscathed.

Not only was she uninjured, but even her clothes and celestial robe were pristine.

“How, how is this possible!” Chen Rou exclaimed in disbelief.

She had been at the center of the explosion of over a dozen Heavenly Thunder Orbs, yet she was completely fine!

Below the arena, the Qi family members breathed a collective sigh of relief, smiles of reassurance appearing on their faces.

Ning Yechen, on the other hand, had maintained a calm smile throughout.

Luo Ruying’s injuries were mostly healed, and the techniques she used were all top-tier heavenly arts. How could those small orbs possibly harm her?

Moreover, the celestial sword in her hand, with its brilliant golden light, was no ordinary weapon…!

If Chen Rou hadn’t been wearing a low-grade heavenly armor, he would have been sliced in half by her first sword strike!

In stark contrast to the Qi family, the Jiang family’s faces were grim.

The Holy Envoy of the Sacred Lotus Sect, with his peak Heaven Human Realm cultivation, was completely powerless against that woman!

What happened to the ninety-nine percent certainty of victory?!

Jiang Li’s face was also dark with anger.

His legs were crippled, he could no longer walk, and his manhood was gone.

This made him even more irritable and vicious.

He blamed Ning Yechen and his family for all his misfortune!

That day, it was because he encountered them and was delayed on the road that he was ambushed and ended up in this state!

Therefore, before the contest, he had specifically instructed Chen Rou to humiliate Luo Ruying in public.

But the result was a complete and unexpected one-sided defeat!

Chen Rou was no match for Luo Ruying at all!

This was unacceptable for the Jiang family.

Chen Rou also noticed the Luo Shen Celestial Sword in Luo Ruying’s hand, and his face was filled with shock.

That is definitely a celestial sword!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to so easily cut through his Xuan Yuan Heavenly Armor!

He had been so confident of victory, relying on his Xuan Yuan Heavenly Armor and Heavenly Thunder Orbs.

But he hadn’t expected her to possess such a powerful celestial sword!

Chen Rou’s already pale face turned even paler due to blood loss, his expression grim and unsightly.

“Holy Envoy! What are you waiting for? Kill her!”

Jiang Li, consumed by rage, shouted at Chen Rou on the arena.

With his most prized possession gone, he had lost all interest in Luo Ruying.

Now, he only wanted to see her dead!

Moreover, this contest concerned the entire future of the Jiang family in Nanli City!

There was no room for failure!

Being yelled at by a cripple like this made Chen Rou’s expression turn sinister.

Once he won this contest and returned, he would kill this useless Jiang Li!

If it weren’t for him provoking that woman, he wouldn’t have to deal with Luo Ruying today.

But no matter what, he couldn’t afford to lose this contest!

With a hateful look on his face, Chen Rou took out a lotus seed from his pocket and swallowed it. A ghastly smile appeared on his pale face.

“Hmph, you forced me to do this!”
