Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

Although the fireball was split open, his sword aura was also burned and cracked, almost collapsing.

Before he could even catch his breath, he heard a light, airy sound from the other end—

"That's it?"

Fire Dance slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

His robes were intact, and his breathing was steady.

I didn't even sweat!

Liu Zheng was dumbfounded, "You—"

"It's my turn." Huo Wu didn't give him a chance.

The Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads light up!

"Fire Spirit!"

"Earthfire Beast!"

"Come out and help!"

Two beams of light shot out from the spirit ring!

On the left is a colossal beast, entirely crimson red with limbs treading on fire, roaring deafeningly!

On the right is a humanoid figure formed purely of flames, with blurred features and its entire body burning with pale golden flames.

It was none other than the Earth Flame Beast and the Fire Spirit!

Fire Spirit bestows upon Fire Dance a fifth Soul Skill, personally selected by Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, specializing in flame control!

"A soul?" Liu Fengyi's mind trembled.

Feng Xiaotian hadn't used his soul spirit much earlier, so he didn't feel any terror from it.

But now, he could feel the savage aura emanating from that giant beast!

A genuine 50,000-year-old soul beast!

The oppressive feeling sent chills down his spine!

However, the Earthfire Beast roared and charged at him before he could even react!

boom!

Liu Zheng hastily raised his sword to block, but was sent flying by the impact.

His back slammed against the soul power barrier, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Just as he was trying to steady himself, Huo Ling raised his arms.

Whoohoo!

Hundreds and thousands of fireballs, each the size of a fist, condensed from its palm.

Like a swarm of bees set ablaze, they came crashing down from all sides!

Liu Zheng rolled around in a sorry state, swinging his sword repeatedly and shattering more than a dozen fireballs.

But more fireballs exploded, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

The corner of his robe was burned with holes, the ends of his hair were scorched and curled, and he was covered in soot and dirt, with no trace of composure left!

Huo Wu, however, leaned against the railing at the edge of the arena, arms crossed, calmly watching the battle.

The audience erupted in laughter!

"My God, is she watching a show?"

"While her opponent was being chased and beaten, she just stood there enjoying the view!"

"This is true annihilation!"

Liu Zheng was chased all over the arena by Huo Ling, rolling around in the air, surrounded by the shrill laughter of the audience.

His face flushed red, and his chest was filled with resentment.

It seems we still have to rely on the backup plan given by the Grand Elder!

He gritted his teeth and slammed his hand down on his waist!

Zheng—

A long, silver-white sword popped out from inside his belt!

The moment the sword was drawn, the air froze, and a sharp sword aura shot out, shattering the fireball into pieces!

The remaining sword energies rushed towards Huo Wu, and the Earth Flame Beast quickly stepped in front of her.

With a roar, a wall of fire rose up, forcefully blocking the sword energy.

However, a few stray fish escaped and struck the Earth Flame Beast, causing it to roar incessantly from the pain!

The fire spirit, being fragile, also hid behind the earth fire beast.

They attempted to create a protective shield with flames, forming a second line of defense.

However, the sword energy was relentless, and the protective shield couldn't hold for long!

"What is this?!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, "It should be the treasure of the Wind Sword Sect, the Azure Nether Sword!"

"It is said to contain the sword energy of successive sect leaders, making it exceptionally powerful!"

"This doesn't look like something you'd use for a friendly sparring match!" Dugu Bo's face darkened.

On the arena, Liu Zheng gripped the Qingming Sword tightly, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Fire Dance, you're really something."

"But you underestimate the strength of my Wind Sword Sect!"

With that, the Azure Sword erupted!

Sword energy soared into the sky, enveloping everything overhead!

The spectators in the stands all stood up!

"What's this! Do you need external tools for a friendly spar?"

"Hmph, Huo Wu didn't even use a soul tool!"

"They clearly can't accept defeat!"

Hu Qian's face lit up with joy. "Brother Feng, your clan is truly willing to spend a fortune!"

"With this sword, victory is assured!"

The three sects in the Star Luo Empire were engaged in open and covert struggles, vying for resources.

In his youth, he also suffered at the hands of the Green Destiny Sword, and his arm was almost cut off.

Once this sword energy is released, that little girl will be either dead or crippled!

Feng Chang sneered, "This is what happens when you underestimate your opponent!"

"My sect has brought out its most treasured artifact; your sect should also show some sincerity, shouldn't it?"

"Don't worry," Hu Qian patted his chest, "My sect will play in the next round, and I guarantee you'll be in for a big surprise!"

Feng Chang looked at him and said, "That would be best."

On the arena, the Earth Rock Beast and the Fire Spirit were already showing signs of weakness under the onslaught of sword energy.

They are no longer physically powerful soul beasts, but soul spirits that need the support of a host's soul power.

"Fire Dance!" Shui Bing'er decisively released her martial soul, and her sixth soul ring faintly lit up!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Heavenly Frost—"

"Don't rush."

A fair, delicate hand pressed against her shoulder.

Shui Bing'er turned around and met his calm eyes.

Dugu Yan gently shook her head at her, her gaze fixed on the distance.

Shui Bing'er followed her gaze and saw Ye Hua sitting on the platform, calmly drinking tea.

Shui Bing'er paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and withdrew her soul power.

On the arena, facing a sky full of sword energy, Huo Wu finally left the enclosure.

She observed carefully; the sword energy was powerful, but clearly not fully activated, with an extremely long wind-up.

So why should she be afraid?

Huo Wu stretched, her joints making a soft clicking sound.

"Sixth Soul Skill—"

Her sixth spirit ring suddenly lit up!

The flames, like the tides of the flood season, shot up from the ground and into the sky, then fell back down.
