Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Liang Jue pondered for a moment, then respectfully bowed to the silent woman in black veil sitting beside Yun Ping.

"Palace Master, may I ask why you are here?"

“You’ll have to ask that old bastard about this; he’s the one who called me out.” Fang Qingzhu glanced at Liang Jue, then raised an eyebrow. “Wait, how did you know it was me?”

"We're going crazy searching for you in the courtroom right now. You left behind a huge pile of unresolved cases and disappeared without a word. Our entire court team is looking for you."

As Liang Jue spoke, he silently pulled out something that looked like a compass from his pocket.

Yunping glanced at it silently, and wow, it was full of intricate formations.

"As for why I was able to find you, it's simply because I collected some remnants of your spiritual energy before, and used these remnants and formations to make a small tracking artifact... and here I am."

"What the hell?!" Fang Qingzhu immediately exploded, "You little brat, you were following me?!"

Liang Jue helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he was also innocent. "There's nothing I can do. Who told you to sneak out of the palace all the time, either to the casino or the restaurant, leaving a huge mess for our trial team... I'm just trying to make it easier to arrest you and bring you back."

"You kid..."

Fang Qingzhu jumped up from the stool, almost destroying the magical artifact in Liang Jue's hand.

However, Liang Jue was quick-witted and nimble-fingered, as if he had anticipated Fang Qingzhu's thoughts, and directly put the tracking magic artifact back into his storage ring.

At the same time, he added, "Palace Master, you should save your energy. This little thing is very easy to make. I made five as spares and put them in different storage rings. Destroying this one won't help."

"you……"

Fang Qingzhu was truly furious. How could she, the former Palace Master of the Judgment Palace and the previous Grand Palace Master of the Northern Ice Palace, be completely helpless against a mere squad leader of the Judgment Team?!

They've completely lost their dignity!

"Alright, alright, Little Bamboo, be quiet. I'm still watching my two apprentices fight."

Yunping forced back his laughter, silently giving Liang Jue, this clever boy, a thumbs up in his heart.

Upon hearing Yunping speak, Fang Qingzhu had no choice but to give up. However, judging from her fierce gaze, once Yunping left, Liang Jue was definitely going to be taught a lesson by Fang Qingzhu.

Liang Jue shrugged indifferently at this—all he cared about was Yun Ping's identity and purpose.

However, judging from Fang Qingzhu's behavior, Yunping and Fang Qingzhu seem to have a close relationship, and the Palace Master actually listens to him quite a bit.

You should know that in this world, the only one who can make a powerhouse of Fang Qingzhu's level obediently follow orders is probably—

Thinking about this, he dared not continue thinking about it.

Because this could very well touch a nerve with the other party, or be something taboo.

the other side.

On the arena.

Two slender and graceful figures became entangled in combat in the blink of an eye.

As the one with the speed advantage, Ye Yuchan would definitely try to make the first move. She knew very well that Zhang Ruoxue's attack range and attack strength would be greatly enhanced under the blessing of the blazing phantom. If she could not suppress her from the beginning, close combat would not be particularly advantageous for her.

When the Little Heavenly Thunder Body erupted at its highest intensity, countless electric currents stimulated every muscle in Ye Yuchan's body, causing lightning to flash with every move she made.

A punch as swift as the wind, accompanied by violent lightning, struck out.

Boom!

Just as she was about to be hit, Zhang Ruoxue turned to the side. At the same time, she raised her left leg—one of the most aggressive parts of the human body—and used her knee to forcefully block Ye Yuchan's fist.

At the same time, the flaming phantom also launched an attack.

So, you defend against direct physical damage, and then launch an attack simultaneously with the defense using a phantom...?

The ultimate in both offense and defense.

Ye Yuchan truly lived up to her reputation as a master of dodging and a genius in combat. The instant she threw that punch, her body had already subtly shifted. Although the attack range of the fiery phantom was wide, it couldn't possibly cover the entire arena. As long as there was room to dodge, she could find that tiny gap.

Her supple body moved gracefully across the ring, dodging the intense heat with surprising ease. Zhang Ruoxue, however, was still in the process of shifting her stance due to her slower speed.

We can't give her any chance to breathe!

Ye Yuchan used both fists and feet, trying to break through Zhang Ruoxue's impenetrable defense with extreme speed.

If you are fast enough, you can break through the defense while dodging the opponent's attack.

"—Ugh!"

The fist, as powerful as a raging storm, was more restless than any torrential rain.

Zhang Ruoxue had no choice but to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the lightning. For the first time in history, the blazing crimson flames showed signs of retreating. She tried her best to dodge, and if she couldn't dodge the attack, she would use her body to withstand it!

However, Ye Yuchan was as slippery as an eel. Whenever Zhang Ruoxue found an opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack, she seemed to have anticipated Zhang Ruoxue's movements in advance, and found a way to dodge the moment she threw a punch or kicked.

Each time, it seemed so dangerous and thrilling, but only Zhang Ruoxue knew that for Ye Yuchan, it was nothing more than a matter of ease.

—A stalemate has been reached.

Zhang Ruoxue kept dodging while simultaneously performing some extremely difficult defensive maneuvers. Her feet kept moving backward, and she didn't even realize that she was about to fall off the stage.

She had to find an opportunity.

Ye Yuchan's attack moves were by no means perfect. Although Ye Yuchan was indeed a combat genius, even geniuses need a lot of practice and experience to become a master.

What Ye Yuchan clearly lacks is experience.

At one point, Ye Yuchan, whose dance steps were exceptionally graceful, seemed to get a little carried away, and she no longer seemed to take Zhang Ruoxue's sudden defensive counterattack seriously.

Even though Zhang Ruoxue had already grabbed her fist, she didn't remember to back down to avoid the next attack. Instead, she greedily chose to finish with a whip kick.

Indeed, it was very effective; Zhang Ruoxue suffered a powerful whip kick to the waist.

This made Zhang Ruoxue want to scream immediately, but the joy and excitement in her heart didn't give her time to open her mouth and cry out in pain.

Because that whip kick was completely unnecessary!

Although Zhang Ruoxue suffered a minor injury, it also caused a slight pause in her movements, which was a godsend for Zhang Ruoxue, who had been waiting for a long time.

She took a step forward, and the flaming phantom that appeared behind her also stomped forward, the huge area covering Ye Yuchan's head with flames.

Ye Yuchan seemed to realize that she had made a mistake. Her face turned pale, and she also realized that she had not devised any escape plan. At that moment, she had no choice but to hold the bow with both hands and take the hit head-on.

boom!!

The explosion soared into the sky.

"This girl... doesn't even understand this basic principle."

Yunping, standing off the field, shook his head and sighed.

Liang Jue blinked and asked in a low voice, "What's the reasoning?"

"Is that even a question?"

Yun Ping glanced at Liang Jue and said something Liang Jue had never heard of before.

"The great Sun Knight once said - in PVP, never be greedy for attacks."

105. The abyss... The abyss.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

The scorching fire evaporated the snow in a large area, turning it into billowing heat. The terrifying heat, accompanied by leaping sparks, frantically stimulated the girl's fair fingers, as if it could erode and destroy them at any moment.

boom!

The arena beneath her feet instantly cracked with hundreds and thousands of fissures, and flying stones landed at Ye Yuchan's feet. Zhang Ruoxue's strength, amplified several times over, was truly difficult for her to withstand.

If the magical artifact Black Rain hadn't been so sturdy, this attack would likely have been enough to leave Ye Yuchan severely injured and unable to recover.

"—Drink up!"

Zhang Ruoxue would not let such a perfect opportunity slip by. She stomped forward with her left foot and lowered her center of gravity. At the same moment, she opened her right hand and a scorching hot wind swirled around the blue-gold arm armor on her forearm, burning the icy air nearby.

With a single strike, a storm of flames arrived in an instant.

Ye Yuchan could see the power of this palm strike. Even for her, it would be impossible to dodge under such a disadvantageous situation. Although the Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body had reached its peak, it was still only at the basic stage. Unless the Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body broke through temporarily, she could only resist the raging flames that blotted out the sky and roared the sun, but could not escape.

Holding the longbow horizontally in front of her, she adopted a defensive stance with all her might. The spiritual energy that should have been reserved was no longer hidden at this moment, but instead transformed into endless sharp blades that adhered to the bow arm. Runes bloomed one after another, forming a defensive circle as solid as a city wall.

This could almost be called Ye Yuchan's last line of defense. If even this line of defense was breached by the flames, then the outcome of this battle would be a foregone conclusion.

Fire—roared in furiously.

Like a night that blots out the sky, but unlike the shadowy sky, what appears before Ye Yuchan is only endless flames. The red and white flames, intertwined and leaping wildly, symbolize the ultimate destructive power.

The force was so powerful it was unreasonable, sending Ye Yuchan and her bow flying. The power of this palm strike was close to that of the peak of the Xuanmen stage!

To unleash a palm strike from a peak Xuanmen stage cultivator while only possessing the cultivation of a Spirit Hall stage cultivator...

If I had to describe it in four words—unbelievable.

This is the power of the King's Weapon. Yes, this palm strike is largely due to the power of the King's Weapon. Although Zhang Ruoxue has skillful combat techniques and considerable combat experience, Ye Yuchan is far superior to her in terms of talent.

The reason she was able to deliver that astonishing palm strike was largely thanks to Zhang Ruoxue.

This is not to say that Zhang Ruoxue is useless or ordinary. In fact, Yunping still admires Zhang Ruoxue's fighting mindset. At least she did not show any signs of dejection during the defensive process.

His calm and composed expression suggested that he didn't believe Ye Yuchan would become complacent.

Their grasp of human nature is truly absurdly strong.

the other side.

Ye Yuchan, who had been knocked to the edge of the ring, got up from the ground in a very disheveled state. Her clothes were not torn, but her snow-white skin was covered with burn marks of all sizes.

These scars don't have a big impact, but to be honest—they're still quite uncomfortable.

"I feel like I underestimated you... You're even more amazing than I imagined."

Ye Yuchan covered her right arm, glanced at the unharmed magic weapon Black Rain, and her tone seemed to undergo a subtle change.

Zhang Ruoxue wanted to say something, but the moment she looked at Ye Yuchan, her pupils involuntarily contracted.

A surge of malice, as if from a cold abyss, suddenly welled up in her heart, making her strong spine feel a chill, as if an invisible, cold hand, a hand without flesh but only bone, was slowly stroking her spine.

This feeling is the same as before—

Ye Yuchan was alone when she faced the attack from the crowd during the battle outside the clothing store.

"here we go again?"

Yunping couldn't help but feel puzzled. He could clearly see that the restless Abyssal Fear Ice within Ye Yuchan's body was showing signs of activity again, which, theoretically speaking, should not be happening.
