Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 296 Black Phoenix

Qian Renxue herself did not expect this outcome. Originally, she did intend to use the Sword of Judgment to deal with Ma Xiaotao; this was their initial plan.

However, during the semi-final draw, she discovered that Ma Xiaotao was pregnant.

No matter how much she hated Shrek Academy, the unborn child was always innocent. She wasn't so heartless as to harm an unborn child.

Young people who have been completely indoctrinated by Shrek's ideology are not within her scope of consideration.

Just like what she said to Huo Yuhao before the final, if a person wants to do something that only he can do, he must bear the price that only he can bear.

"Oh no, Xiao Tao has mutated too!" Xuanzi stood up instantly, wanting to end the match.

However, he hesitated. Ma Xiaotao's recent mutated awakening would bring a leap in strength, instantly pushing her cultivation level to over level 70. If he could use this to kill the opponent first, and then save her...

"My God, I never imagined that not only Tianhai Academy would produce evil spirit masters, but even Shrek Academy couldn't escape it." Qian Renxue's voice still echoed. "Perhaps this is the flaw brought about by innate martial souls. The Evil Fire Phoenix is ​​born with a trace of evil within it!"

At this moment, Qian Renxue was multitasking. On one hand, she was explaining to the audience that an evil martial soul was not necessarily the same as an evil soul master, since Ma Xiaotao had not done anything heinous before. On the other hand, she was watching Ma Xiaotao, who was undergoing changes. She could tell that Ma Xiaotao's strength would increase dramatically because of this mutation, and she had to consider her own safety.

"Miss!"

Shen Yuanyi, who was playing with Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, couldn't bother to continue teasing the young couple. She had been giving the Goddess of Light Butterfly electrotherapy and hadn't tried to kill her. Qian Renxue had told her that Wang Dong possessed divine power, and if there was a life-or-death crisis, he would retaliate, and Shen Yuanyi might even die.

She returned to Qian Renxue and Xue Di's side, her expression grave. Having once been a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, she had seen far more evil spirit masters than most of those present, so she immediately recognized Ma Xiaotao's current situation.

"When she was close to becoming a Soul Saint, she transformed into an Evil Soul Master. Her cultivation talent was not wasted. Moreover, because of this mutation, her original evil fire completely evolved into an ultimate fire tainted with darkness and evil." Shen Yuanyi whispered. "With this kind of talent, she could even serve as a Holy Maiden in a sect."

"It's alright." A glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. "Her mind has been affected. Let me handle it."

"Ah—!" A scream came from Ma Xiaotao's mouth. Her eyes suddenly opened and flashed with purple light. A terrifying aura rose up suddenly along with towering black flames.

Qian Renxue did not back down at all. Her body erupted with extreme light and flames, coupled with her near-ultimate divine attributes. Although she was still in a disguised state, the aura of her angelic martial soul was released without reservation.

As Ma Xiaotao launched her attack, she instantly felt a tremor from the depths of her soul. The confidence and arrogance that came with the mutation of her martial soul turned into a tremor as she faced her natural enemy.

That was the innate fear that evil spirit masters had of angelic martial spirits. Even though Qian Renxue only appeared to be a Soul Master, she had already broken through to level 70.

This oppressive force was even more violent than when she faced the extreme fire while she was conscious, and it was more of a calm, unwavering, and powerful presence—

Arrogant contempt!

Qian Renxue chuckled. The Angelic Martial Soul currently possessed two and a half ultimate attributes, and even with the loss of some of its divine attribute, it was still comparable to ordinary ultimate attributes. Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, could only be considered to have been tainted by the ultimate flames of evil and darkness.

In addition, with the suppression of ultimate martial souls by god-level martial souls, what martial soul in the sky dares to say it can compare to the angel?

A beam of crystalline yellow light instantly transformed into a massive blade of light, sweeping out with a tiger's roar, colliding fiercely with Qian Renxue's Sword of Judgment, producing a deafening crash. However, Qian Renxue's Sword of Judgment did not pause, but continued to slash towards the relic that Ma Xiaotao had taken from Dai Yueheng.

If Ma Xiaotao's opponent weren't Qian Renxue, then the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, combined with her current attributes, could unleash its full power. However, this level eight soul tool was inherently inferior to the Sword of Judgment in quality, especially since Qian Renxue had activated it at this moment.

Ten seconds!

On the Sword of Judgment, both the attributes of light and darkness were activated simultaneously, but Qian Renxue did not choose to use the power of Judgment directly. Instead, she used her superb swordsmanship to repeatedly repel Ma Xiaotao, who was carrying the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

The commentators for the match became Xue Di and Shen Yuanyi. Qian Renxue was currently focused on dealing with Ma Xiaotao. The sword technique she used this time seemed to lack any skill, just constantly swinging her sword, but in reality, she was silently using the power of light to suppress the darkness released by Ma Xiaotao. Meanwhile, the soul power of the little devil, released through the two nascent soul cores, was quietly absorbing the evil aura.

The two swords clashed repeatedly, the raging flames illuminating their faces. Qian Renxue's face was calm yet smiling, while Ma Xiaotao looked like a bloodthirsty demon.

"I'm not killing you because of the child in your womb," Qian Renxue said with a light laugh. "Otherwise, do you really think I was joking when I said I could kill all of you in a one-on-one fight?"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Ma Xiaotao's mind, which was almost losing its senses, was jolted awake, as if a ray of holy light had broken through the chaos.

At that moment, a tremendous force emanated from the Sword of Judgment. In the last second, Qian Renxue activated the "Judgment" ability on the Sword of Judgment, and the greatsword was fully activated.

It was as if a power capable of judging all heretics had been applied to the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. This soul tool, which had been forged with soul bones, was now entirely of the dark attribute, but under Qian Renxue's sword of judgment, it began to disintegrate and finally turned into a pile of fragments.

Qian Renxue lightly turned the sword, using the blade to strike Ma Xiaotao's right arm. Then, an invisible but violent aura emanated from her—the Little Devil's Demon Domain—restraining Ma Xiaotao's Black Phoenix Martial Soul and forcibly constricting her soul power.

However, Qian Renxue could not suppress Ma Xiaotao's martial soul at this moment, because her martial soul evolution was complete, and it had completely transformed into a black phoenix, unlike Bei Bei's half-baked evolution.

Immediately afterward, Qian Renxue pounced over and slapped Ma Xiaotao's wrist with her right palm, pushing the Demon Domain to its limit at this moment. The Martial Soul Deprivation ability of the God-level Domain was released, forcibly dispelling Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul Possession state.

At this moment, a strange smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face: "We will meet again soon, and then I will give you the chance to take revenge on me."

Before Ma Xiaotao lost consciousness, she took a deep look at Qian Renxue and firmly remembered her words.

"I will definitely kill..."

"Bang—!" Before she could finish speaking, she lost consciousness and was pushed off the stage by Qian Renxue.
