Chapter 963: Are You Playing Me?
"So powerful." Xiao Yi's face changed.
Boom…
The spear style heavily struck his chest, sending him flying over a hundred meters.
When he landed, a ghastly bloody hole had appeared on his chest, bleeding profusely.
"Pfft." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of bloody fluid.
Supporting himself with one hand on the ground, the other hand covering the wound on his chest, his face was filled with shock.
A domineering force was rampaging at the wound on his chest.
"Defeated in one move?" The surrounding Martial Arts geniuses were first startled, then delighted.
"As expected of Young Master Ran Qi."
"Compared to those who suddenly appear and arrogantly rise to fame, it's normal for Young Master Ran Qi to defeat an enemy in one move."
"Indeed, that's the price for boasting."
"Young Master Ran Qi, quickly kill him and reclaim the Ice Venerate Token."
The Martial Arts geniuses were clamoring.
In comparison to Yi Xiao, who had only recently gained fame and that too confined to an ordinary area like Fangcun Territory,
Ran Qi, who ranked second among the Central Region's Eighteen Prefectures, was undoubtedly more dazzling.
Moreover, the Central Region's Eighteen Prefectures, as eighteen Overlord Forces, mingling with any of them would be an enormous opportunity.
Step... Step... Step...
At this moment, Ran Qi slowly walked towards Xiao Yi.
"Stand up. Although I can't perceive your cultivation, a martial artist's intuition tells me you're not that weak."
"Show me your true skills."
"Otherwise, with the next spear, I will take your life."
"Then let's have a satisfying fight." Xiao Yi stood up, his clear eyes filled with coldness.
The hand covering the wound slowly let go.
At the same time, the wound instantly healed.
"Hmm?" Ran Qi squinted his eyes, "What a powerful trick, to ignore my spear style?"
"However, that makes it even more interesting."
Swoosh… Ran Qi thrust his long spear once more.
This time, Xiao Yi did not retreat but instead took a step forward, dodging the long spear with precision, then grasped it with both hands.
"Burn." Xiao Yi coldly shouted.
Fierce purple flames instantly engulfed the spear.
The sinister long spear instantly transformed into a flaming long spear.
"Hmm?" Ran Qi's face changed, the Primordial Power surging forth from within him.
Fierce lightning gathered in the spear, counteracting the flames.
The clash between lightning and flames was intense, neither side willing to give in.
Ran Qi sneered, "Although I can't gauge your cultivation, I guess your realm is definitely not as high as mine."
"When it comes to the consumption of Primordial Power, you are no match for me."
"Heh." Xiao Yi sneered without speaking.
The confrontation between lightning and flames continued, and at the same time, their aura kept rising.
The output and consumption of Primordial Power within both of them were skyrocketing.
Minutes later.
The power of lightning had risen to the point of constant sizzling, Xiao Yi's hands were numb and in severe pain.
While the power of flames had risen to the level of a furnace.
It was evident that Ran Qi's hands had turned red, and the intense heat made his face look somewhat aggrieved.
A few more minutes later.
Ran Qi was the first to release his grip, his face slightly pale.
"Is your cultivation realm higher than mine? No, impossible."
This confrontation between the two seemed to last less than ten minutes.
In reality, the Primordial Power output by both of them had reached an astonishing level.
Under such a clash of Primordial Power, it was clear that Ran Qi had lost.
"How much Primordial Power do you have in your body?" Ran Qi was a bit surprised.
Xiao Yi coldly smiled, "This spear of yours, it's a low-grade Holy Device, right? It's mine now."
"Hmph." Ran Qi also sneered, his eyes filled with battle intent.
"To take my spear? In the entire Central Region, among the younger generation, less than ten people could do so, and you are not qualified."
With those words, Ran Qi's figure vanished on the spot.
When he reappeared, both hands had already regained the long spear.
Boom…
An invisible force abruptly erupted from his body.
"Domain?" Xiao Yi frowned.
On the long spear, the power of lightning suddenly increased, the spear style skyrocketing instantly.
Ran Qi coldly smiled, "To force me to use the Thunder Spear Domain, you'll be recognized as a worthy opponent."
"You too." Xiao Yi smiled aloofly.
Boom…
An invisible force also erupted from his body.
"Purple Flame Domain, rise."
On the long spear, the power of purple flame greatly increased as well.
Once again, lightning and flames clashed.
But, perhaps more accurately said, this was a clash between the Thunder Spear Domain and the Purple Flame Domain.
Fizz, fizz, fizz…
With Ran Qi at the center, within a kilometer radius, streams of lightning surged up.
At the same time, an overwhelming aura filled the entire area.
Boom, boom, boom…
With Xiao Yi at the center, within a kilometer radius, streams of purple flames poured out.
At the same time, a domineering aura overwhelmed the scene.
"Where is your weapon?" Ran Qi asked coldly.
"I don't have one." Xiao Yi shook his head.
He indeed didn't have one, for fire control, he had a pair of Star Illusion Gloves.
But they were a Sub-Saint Artifact, bringing them out was of no significant use.
"Alright." Ran Qi laughed arrogantly, then released his grip once more.
"I won't use this low-grade Holy Device."
"But, summon your Martial Soul, let's fight with all our might."
As the words fell, Ran Qi's body burst with a surge of Purple Radiance.
Then, a blue spear materialized in his hand out of thin air.
"This is the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear, ranked Purple High Rank."
"The spear is of a lightning attribute, sharp and violent."
"Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear?" Xiao Yi was shocked.
He had heard the name; the true weapon was an Ancient Treasure.
Rumor had it that the spear was born from lightning.
Upon its birth, Thunder Dragons roared, and clouds accompanied it.
Of course, these were ancient records, and Xiao Yi had only seen them mentioned briefly in an obscure record.
He wasn't entirely sure what it entailed.
Indeed, anyone from the Central Region's Eighteen Prefectures had an extraordinary background.
The current spear in Ran Qi's hand, as a Martial Soul, was of a Purple High Rank, showcasing its incredible power.
"Yi Xiao, where is your Martial Soul?" Ran Qi shouted.
"I don't have one." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Bastard." Ran Qi's face instantly turned icy cold.
"I saw you as an opponent and wanted a true battle, yet you're playing with me?"
In his view, Yi Xiao was no ordinary figure.
Such a person, when asked about a weapon, said he had none, and when asked about a Martial Soul, also replied none, clearly toying with him.
"I have one, but I don't want to use it." Xiao Yi shook his head.
His Martial Soul, the Fire Control Beast, was useless even if condensed.
The Ice Phoenix Sword, though powerful, was actually the same.
Once condensed, it could only borrow its sharpness, serving as a startlingly sharp sword.
As for the power within the Ice Phoenix Sword, the true might of the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul, it was simply impossible to utilize.
Since that's the case, it's better not to condense it at all.
"Damn it, then die." Ran Qi's fury surged, shaking the spear.
"Thousand Thunders."
Boom… Boom… Boom…
Countless bolts of lightning transformed into massive Thunder Pillars, descending instantly.
"Skyfire Meteor." Xiao Yi coldly shouted.
Streaks of Flame Meteor descended from the heavens.
