Nie Li leapt onto a fighting stage. Murong Yu also flew up.
Everyoneâs attention was now focused on that battle stage.
Without a doubt, Nie Li and Murong Yuâs battle was attracting the most attention.
One was a genius from the previous year; one was from the current. Furthermore, there seemed to be an old score to settle between them.
However, from the perspective of the crowd, this challenge was simply Nie Li overestimating his own abilities. After all, their cultivations werenât separated by just a little; Murong Yu was years ahead of Nie Li.
Huang Yu and Nanmen Tianhai exchanged glances.
âNie Li actually took the initiative to challenge Murong Yu. Heâs simply too daring,â said Huang Yu.
âItâs unavoidable for youngsters to be proud and arrogant,â Nanmen Tianhai sighed as he shook his head.
They werenât optimistic about Nie Liâs chances. After all, the difference between those two was the same as how Murong Yu was unable to defeat Li Xingyun.
Murong Yu looked at Nie Li and said in a sinister tone, âNow youâve actually gone and challenged me. In othersâ eyes, youâre a genius. But in my eyes, youâre nothing. Last time, I was too careless and let you escape. But this time, Iâll crush your head into the ground and mercilessly trample you. Iâll teach you how to respect your Senior Brother!â
A powerful aura burst from Murong Yuâs body in an explosion of air.
Murong Yu was already 6-fate, whereas Nie Li is only 4-fate. However, it was still impossible for Murong Yu to suppress Nie Li in terms of aura alone.
Even though Nie Li was only a 4-fate, his strength had far surpassed that level.
Nie Li didnât explode his aura like Murong Yu had. Instead, he calmly looked at his opponent. No matter how Murong Yu tried to enrage him, or attack his confidence, Nie Li didnât see Murong Yu with very much regard.
That was because he and Murong Yu werenât on the same level!
Nie Li looked at Murong Yu as he calmly said, âCut the crap. Can we start?â
Murong Yu tried to anger Nie Li, but he never expected Nie Li to ignore his words. His jab had landed on empty air.
âHmph, egotistic!â With a twitch of his right hand, Murong Yu shot an energy towards Nie Li.
*Woosh!*
The energy turned into a streak of light.
The moment it was about to hit Nie Li, his body faded away.
A miss!
Murong Yuâs pupils narrowed as he coldly snorted, âThat move again!?â He looked around, searching for traces of Nie Li.
Nie Li abruptly appeared as a chilling ray of light and slashed at Murong Yuâs neck.
âHmph, too slow!â Murong Yu concentrated on his fists and sent a surge of unparalleled energy towards Nie Liâs chest.
That fist was filled with explosive energy and caused friction sparks with the air.
*Woosh!*
Nie Li saw Murong Yuâs attack, but didnât pause in the slightest. Instead, he continued his slash towards Murong Yuâs neck.
Nie Li was trying to use himself as a sacrifice and take Murong Yu down with him? How could Murong Yu possibly let things go as Nie Li wished? He dodged sideways and smashed his fist towards Nie Liâs chest with that unparalleled energy.
If Nie Li were to suffer this blow, heâd definitely die!
The spectators held their breaths. There was no way Nie Li could dodge that attack. Indeed, Nie Liâs strength was still far below Murong Yuâs.
A boom sounded as Murong Yuâs fist landed on Nie Liâs chest. However, Murong Yu felt a rebound of energy and instantly sensed that something was off.
Somethingâs not right!
The frightening rebound almost broke Murong Yuâs hand.
But before Murong Yu could react, Nie Li returned to his human form, grabbed Murong Yuâs arm, and with the help of that rebound, tossed Murong Yu upwards. Murong Yu smashed onto the ground like a sandbag.
*Boom!*
Before the pain in Murong Yuâs arm had dulled, he was smashed into the ground, leaving him dizzy.
Just what was going on?
Nie Li had only used 3-fate strength, but he still mobilised such power? Furthermore, Murong Yuâs fist hadnât hurt Nie Li; instead it actually made Murong Yu suffer such a powerful rebound!
Murong Yu still couldnât figure out what was going. Again, Nie Li flung him up into the sky and smashed him ruthlessly onto the ground like a sandbag.
*Boom!*
Murong Yu felt likes his internal organs were about to explode.
Murong Yu still couldnât react before Nie Li flung him into the sky and unleashed a series of dazzling moves. Murong Yu was sent smashing onto the ground, yet again.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Attacks continuously landed on Murong Yu.
Nie Li didnât use all his strength as he dealt with Murong Yu. From his opinion, there was no need to!
The spectators felt that the sight was unreal. What was going on? Why was Murong Yu the one getting beaten up?
By right, Murong Yuâs strength should be far above Nie Liâs! But why didnât Murong Yu have the slightest chance to counterattack under Nie Liâs barrage? Why didnât Murong Yuâs attacks do anything to Nie Li?
Huang Yu looked at Nanmen Tianhai as he asked, âIs that Nie Li considered to be cheating?â
âI donât think so. After all, we didnât put any restrictions on what methods theyâre allowed use!â Nanmen Tianhai bitterly smiled.
âThatâs merciless bullying!â
Murong Yu suffered another series of bashes. When he tried to counterattack, he suffered even greater rebounds. He couldnât hurt Nie Li in the slightest! He let out a low, angry roar as his skin turned a peculiar scarlet colour.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Surges of majestic energy burst forth from Murong Yu.
A huge scarlet red wing appeared from his back as he turned into a huge, formidable-looking falcon.
âGood Heavens! Itâs actually a Saint Blood Draconic Falcon!â
âIndeed, itâs the Saint Blood Draconic Falcon! A Dragon Bloodline Extraordinary Level growth rate demon spirit!â
The Saint Blood Draconic Falcon is one of the pinnacle varieties of the Draconic Falcon species. Itâs said to be the royalty among the Draconic Falcons. Furthermore, a Saint Blood Draconic Falcon with an Extraordinary Level growth rate is an absolute rarity. No one knew where Murong Yu got it from.
âEarlier on, Murong Yu wasnât willing to merge with his demon spirit. So he was concealing his strength!â
âThat Saint Blood Draconic Falcon doesnât have a God Level growth rate, but itâs still enough to dominate an entire region! Itâs the most powerful existence beneath a Dragon Bloodline God Level demon spirit!â
âNie Li actually forced Murong Yu to the point that he had to merge with his demon spirit!â
Murong Yuâs eyes were scarlet red as he floated high up into the sky. His massive scarlet wings flapped slowly. With each flap a burst of frightening energy was unleashed.
âI didnât want to merge with my demon spirit, but youâve forced me to! Now, Iâll give you a thorough death!â Surges of powerful aura burst from Murong Yu. Fiery clouds formed around him, burning as though they were trying to destroy everything.
The blazing energy surged like a tidal wave towards Nie Li.
The spectators sensed the flow of energy rolling off of the martial stage. Their faces changed. They never thought that Murong Yu had reached such a level. It looked like his ranking was definitely going to shift ahead even more.
Pressured by that powerful energy, Nie Li took several steps back and raised his head towards Murong Yu. This guy finally couldnât hold back anymore and had exerted all his strength!
