Chapter 611: Empowered with Four-colored Flames
"Miss Xiyue, if your confidence only lies in your Purple Brilliance Holy Pupil and your Extreme Realm First Layer Cultivation,"
"Then you too can be defeated."
Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"You..." Shangguan Xiyue's face was filled with indignation.
Now she understood how Bing Baifu and the others felt just moments ago.
No wonder Bing Baifu and the others were so angry.
The tone of this Yi Xiao in front of her was incredibly belittling.
It wasn't that Xiao Yi was arrogant; from the start, he hadn't taken the 'Purple Brilliance Holy Pupil' too seriously.
A Purple Martial Soul, indeed, was rare.
Among all the Heavenly Talents from various kingdoms and Martial Arts Holy Lands, only Dugu Kuang possessed a Purple Martial Soul, the Eight Extremes Mad Lion.
And within the sixteen Main Halls of the Demon Hunting Hall, only Shangguan Xiyue herself possessed a Purple Martial Soul.
Adding the ones Xiao Yi already knew about, Qianmo with her Longevity Vine and Qin Feiyang with his Purple Winged Eagle, that made four people in total.
The rarity of a Purple Martial Soul could be easily imagined.
Shangguan Xiyue's 'Purple Brilliance Holy Pupil' Martial Soul had a purplish hue that was clearly thicker and stronger than the purple radiance of Dugu Kuang and the other three.
But in the end, it had not reached the Middle Stage of purple, still remaining at the Purple Early Stage level.
Xiao Yi, of course, did not take it seriously.
"Good, very good." At this moment, Shangguan Xiyue's indignant face once again transformed into her earlier playfulness and confidence.
"Master Yi Xiao, if I'm not mistaken, that mask on your face, although a Heaven and Earth Treasure, only has the effect of shielding one's aura and perception, right?"
"All other aspects, offensive or defensive capabilities, are almost negligible."
Xiao Yi was about to say 'yes'.
Shangguan Xiyue cut in first, "Master Yi Xiao, there's no need for an explanation, and don't even think of deceiving me."
"I've said it before, as long as Xiyue wishes to know something, there aren't many things in this world that can escape my eyes."
"I may not be able to see through the secrets beneath your mask, but it doesn't mean my vision is so poor that I can't discern the effects of your mask."
Xiao Yi smiled indifferently and nodded.
"That means…" Shangguan Xiyue displayed a confident smile, "this Supreme Treasure is essentially useless to you in this competition."
"With the strength you have shown so far, thinking of defeating me is far from enough."
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since Miss Xiyue is so confident, please make your move."
"No." Shangguan Xiyue shook her head, "It should be you who makes a move, for you cannot win against me."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and then coldly shook his head.
He had no interest in wasting any more time.
The fight, it was time to end it.
Swoosh... Xiao Yi's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
"So fast." Bing Baifu and the others' pupils shrank, completely unable to keep up with Xiao Yi's speed.
"Is this guy's true strength?"
Swoosh... The next second, when Xiao Yi reappeared, he was already in front of Shangguan Xiyue.
A fist wrapped in Purple Flame heavily bombarded towards Shangguan Xiyue's face.
But Shangguan Xiyue's figure moved oddly, evading the blow.
Xiao Yi's punch had suddenly hit the air.
"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
Shangguan Xiyue smiled playfully, "As expected of Master Yi Xiao, truly a man of natural indifference."
"You didn't have the slightest hesitation because Xiyue is a woman, no holding back at all."
"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly, his figure moved, and another punch thundered out.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiyue narrowly dodged again.
The blazing fist brushed past her ear, not harming her in the slightest.
"Tsks tsk." Shangguan Xiyue laughed triumphantly.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Xiao Yi's fists were formidable.
The continuous Palm Winds turned the surroundings into a land continuously echoing with flames.
But without exception, none of these fists and flames could harm Shangguan Xiyue.
Seconds turned into tens of seconds, and Xiao Yi threw hundreds of punches.
But all brushed past Shangguan Xiyue.
"Giggle." Shangguan Xiyue laughed smugly again.
"What's the matter with Master Yi Xiao? Your fists keep brushing past Xiyue, yet fail to harm her."
"Could it be that Purple Flame Yi Xiao, known for your cold-blooded cruelty, shows special care towards Xiyue?"
"What exactly did you do?" Xiao Yi's eyes turned cold.
It was clear to any observant person that Yi Xiao simply couldn't hit Shangguan Xiyue.
And Shangguan Xiyue was toying with Yi Xiao.
As a way to 'return' the disregard from Yi Xiao's earlier words.
"I've told you." Shangguan Xiyue smirked playfully, "There's hardly anything in this world that can escape my eyes."
"That includes Master Yi Xiao's movements."
Xiao Yi abruptly realized and said coldly, "You've seen through all my moves in advance."
"Correct." Shangguan Xiyue said proudly, "Son of Yi Xiao, every move you make, my eyes can foresee without the slightest error."
"You can't hurt me."
"Now, it's time for Xiyue to tell Son of Yi Xiao who will be defeated."
"Annihilation Wind Palm," Shangguan Xiyue called out coldly, and struck with her palm.
A terrifying annihilation power suddenly gathered in her hands.
Xiao Yi's pupils shrank, and he quickly dodged.
With his speed and reaction, he should have been able to evade Shangguan Xiyue's palm.
But the next second, he was surprised to find that the palm had hit him precisely.
With a booming sound.
His arm was instantly pierced by a bloody hole.
Then, the force did not stop, but went straight towards the Endless Black Sea outside the Martial Arts Arena.
Where the palm wind passed, the Black Sea Water was annihilated in an instant.
The palm wind eventually stopped thousands of meters away.
And the surface of the sea was left with a vacuum zone stretching for thousands of meters, the surrounding waters annihilated completely.
"What a terrifying hand technique," Xiao Yi was shocked in his heart.
"Son of Yi Xiao seems to have a short memory," Shangguan Xiyue said with a mocking smile, "Xiyue can foresee all your moves, ensuring you can't harm me."
"Naturally, Son of Yi Xiao's evasive actions were also seen through by me, and thus, inevitable to escape."
"You…" Xiao Yi's face turned ugly.
"You practice the Wind Dao."
Just now, Shangguan Xiyue's palm was the Annihilation Wind Dao.
It is one of the top Martial Arts within the Wind Dao.
"The palm just now was to tell Son of Yi Xiao, that the one to be defeated will be you," Shangguan Xiyue said with a playful smile.
A purple bracelet appeared on her wrist.
The bracelet shimmered with flowing light, exceptionally beautiful.
It was the High-Grade Primordial Artifact, the Purple Moon Bracelet.
Another force of annihilation power gathered in her hand.
And, this time, the power was even more tremendous and shocking.
"Now, it's time to end the battle," Shangguan Xiyue said with a cold smile.
"Early Stage Combat Power of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer," Xiao Yi's expression became grave.
Indeed, the present Shangguan Xiyue had the Early Stage Combat Power of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer.
Under the amplification of Secret Techniques, High-Grade Primordial Artifacts, and the Purple Brilliance Holy Pupil Martial Soul, her combat prowess soared straight to the Early Stage of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer.
Previously, Dugu Kuang, under various amplifications, still had Peak Combat Power of Extreme Realm Third Layer.
Not to mention, Shangguan Xiyue possessed true Extreme Realm First Layer Cultivation.
The High-Grade Primordial Artifact in her hand could exhibit even greater effects.
The amplification given to her was even greater than the boost provided by the top-grade Elemental Artifact in Bing Baifu's hands.
The boost from the Purple Martial Soul went without saying.
The power of the Purple Martial Soul could only be fully unleashed by a real Extreme Realm Expert.
The current Shangguan Xiyue, even if she faced the combined assault of everyone like Dugu Kuang, Lin Qing'er, and Feng Jueqing, who had been boosted by the Golden Yuan Formation.
She could easily win with her own strength.
Moreover, her practice of the Wind Dao gave her extreme speed.
It's likely that without completely overwhelming combat power, she could not be defeated.
No, to be precise, even injuring her would be impossible.
"Yi Xiao is going to lose," many powerful figures in the stands shook their heads.
This was the gap under absolute power.
"Master Miaoo, it seems that the Demon Beast Core will fall into the hands of Qianmiao Main Hall," Qianmiao Hall Master said with a smug smile.
The Hall Master remained silent, with a serious look.
On the Martial Arts Arena.
Xiao Yi looked directly at Shangguan Xiyue and said indifferently, "So this is Miss Xiyue's strongest combat power, right?"
"Correct," Shangguan Xiyue said arrogantly with a smile.
"Then, you can be defeated," Xiao Yi said with a cold tone.
"Still daring to be arrogant..." Shangguan Xiyue was about to say something when her face suddenly changed dramatically.
At this moment, Xiao Yi's body erupted with bright flames, as layers upon layers of fire continually enveloped him.
The first layer, purple and surging, emitted an aura of destruction.
The second layer, golden and fierce, radiated a violent intent.
The third layer, white and eerily cold, was oddly startling.
The fourth layer, blue and white intermixed, shimmering with brilliant light.
The powerful spectators above immediately gasped in shock, "Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, Earth Vein Golden Fire, Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, Star Fire... this..."
Even the Fifteenth Hall Master and the Eight Great Commanders stood up abruptly.
"Four of the strongest flames in the world combined into one, how is this possible..."
...
First update.
