Fairy, please don't do this!

A torrential downpour began at the frozen lake, and countless bolts of lightning struck down from the sky amidst the dark clouds overhead.

"This battle will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and will also decide life and death. Do you dare to challenge me?"

Mu Yiren stood amidst the towering waves, sword at her back, her inner pupils radiating a deep blue light that transformed into a dazzling galaxy.

A mythical beast with a dragon-like head, a body covered in five-colored scales, hooves treading on auspicious clouds, and a tail like a stream of flames emerged from within…

Chapter 418, Mu Yiren's Wrath, Blood Splatters on the Frozen Lake [Part 2] (3K)

"This battle will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and will also decide life and death. Do you dare to challenge me?"

Mu Yiren stood on a five-colored Qilin, holding a long sword on her back, her clear and melodious voice piercing through the wind and rain.

Upon hearing this, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.

Although injuries and disabilities are common in the battles of the Cangmo Hunting Ceremony, very few prodigies truly fight to the death.

After all, both the Demon Court and the Cangyue Dynasty would require countless human and material resources to cultivate them.

It would be a bad deal to die in the hunt.

Of course, there have been powerful prodigies who have tried to kill opponents who were not as good as themselves, but they would all trigger the life-saving restrictions left on them by their sects or elders.

Just like when Gu Jinzhao killed Chanzi, the appearance of that protective relic helped him avoid death.

If Miaotan hadn't betrayed him later, he certainly wouldn't have succeeded.

At this moment, upon hearing Mu Yiren's aggressive words, Ao Lie's dark golden vertical pupils narrowed, suddenly bursting forth with a violent and fierce light: "What is there that I dare not do?"

"Today, I will make you, a Daoist disciple at the Dao Realm, a whetstone on my path to enlightenment!"

Undoubtedly, the other party was already enraged by his previous sarcasm and had decided to kill him.

My mind is in turmoil; how can I possibly be his match?

Even if Mu Yiren did it intentionally, Ao Lie was not afraid.

Indeed, the opponent was a Daoist disciple at the Dao Realm, possessing not only profound Daoist skills but also unparalleled swordsmanship.

With his double pupils, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's invincible among those of the same realm.

But wasn't Ao Lie the same way?

As the strongest prodigy of the Azure Dragon Clan and the pure-blooded descendant with the best chance of transforming into a dragon, why would he be afraid of a mere human?

If we win this battle, not only will our mental state be improved, but we can also dampen the arrogance of the Cangyue Dynasty.

Most importantly, the Demon Court and Cang Yue have already fought five battles.

If Yaoting wins three matches, winning this one will give them four wins.

Two more wins and the matter will be settled.

He is in a crucial situation right now. If he can kill Mu Yiren here, the scales of victory will inevitably tip directly in favor of the Demon Court.

Mu Yiren raised her eyes and looked at the three figures on the viewing platform: "Ao Lie has already accepted the life-or-death battle. Today, only one person can leave the Frozen Lake."

"If the powerful figures of the Demon Court intervene, I implore Your Majesty, the Zen Master, and the Dao Master to uphold justice for your disciple."

Xiao Qingyi nodded slightly in response: "If the Demon Court intervenes, even if the two Venerables Dao Chan and I sink the Nine Provinces, we will still give you justice."

She could sense that Mu Yiren harbored an intense and intense hatred that desperately needed to be released.

The source of this hatred and resentment should be Lin Qingci.

Because last night's battle was thwarted by Gu Jinzhao's self-inflicted injury, he could only keep it bottled up inside.

Ao Lie's sarcastic remarks had completely ignited his anger, making it impossible for him to suppress it any longer, which is why he proposed a life-or-death duel.

Xiao Qingyi couldn't understand why Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci had such a deep grudge.

Teng Yan, the Grand Master of the Demon Court, stood up and sneered, "Does the Empress Dowager think you've already won?"

The Flood Dragon Emperor's expression was icy, and he said in a chilling tone, "If my son had killed a Dao Realm cultivator, would you still dare to speak such arrogant words!"

He knew that Daoist disciples in the Dao Realm were very strong, but he believed that Ao Lie was even stronger.

Because after Ao Lie broke through to the fifth rank, some of his dragon bloodline transformed into a dragon, so he could fight and kill even a fourth-rank cultivator at the peak of his cultivation!

The Peng Emperor also spoke up, saying, "Humans have never been trustworthy. I'm afraid that you will try to stop the Dao Child when you see him dying."

The Zen master put his hands together in prayer: "Amitabha, a monk does not lie!"

The Daoist Master smiled and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, if you do not take action, this humble Daoist will not interfere."

"So good!"

Mu Yiren's lips curled into a faint smile as she pointed her three-foot-long sword at the monstrous, cloud-swept azure dragon: "Go!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the five-colored Qilin beneath its slender feet moved in response, its four hooves stomping down as it crashed into the rain.

Rumble— Rumble—

A great battle broke out, and terrifying demonic energy clashed with spiritual power, causing the frozen lake to suddenly explode, splashing water everywhere.

The five-colored Dao wheel around the Qilin spun, transforming into a massive vortex that swallowed the towering waves that were enough to annihilate the heavens and earth, making the radiant light around it even more dazzling.

"Summoning wind and rain, bringing thunder and lightning to the heavens!"

The azure dragon that Ao Lie had transformed into was filled with shock and anger. The azure light on the single horn on its forehead shone brightly, connecting with the vast water elemental power between heaven and earth, and triggering its true innate divine power.

In an instant, ominous clouds gathered over the frozen lake, the howling winds resembled ghostly wails, and the torrential rain was mixed with a bone-chilling cold.

Even more terrifying was that countless streaks of blue-purple lightning, intertwined and swirling within the thick clouds, descended upon the five-colored Qilin.

Mu Yiren's eyes were calm as water. She lightly touched the air with her toes, which transformed into a snow-white sword rainbow, soaring straight up against the thunder and rain.

The five-colored Qilin roared in response, and auspicious clouds spread out beneath its feet like a five-colored rainbow bridge, completely annihilating the earth-shattering Azure Dragon Divine Thunder and the bone-chilling cold rain.

One man and one Qilin, defying the calamity clouds, ascend straight into the nine heavens.

Ao Lie roared, his enormous dragon body stirring up the wind and clouds in the sky, and he also took to the air to pursue.

The two sides fought from the broken ice lake to a height of thousands of feet in the sky, engaging in a fierce battle amidst thunderstorms and clouds.

The five-colored Qilin is primarily defensive, using the innate power of the five elements to neutralize Ao Lie's summoning of wind and rain and the divine thunder of Yi Wood.

Mu Yiren focuses on offense, using her three-foot-long sword to embody the Yin-Yang sword intent.

The Yin Sword Intent nurtures all things!

Yang Sword Intent, shattering all things!

When Yin and Yang unite, the sword can shatter all laws!

The deep blue starry river spun within those dual pupils, revealing the demonic power flowing through every scale of Ao Lie's body, making every killing move impossible to hide.

Above the nine heavens, the magnificent sword intent clashed with the fierce demonic energy, divine thunder intertwined with the Daoist rhyme of the Five Elements, and the booming Daoist sound spread throughout the four directions. The surging turbulent currents tore the rain clouds in the sky into a vacuum zone.

"As expected of someone with double pupils, their combat power is indeed extraordinary."

The Azure Dragon was sent flying by a sword strike, hovering in the dark clouds, speaking in human language.

In the previous exchange, both of his innate divine abilities, [Turning Clouds and Rain] and [Yi Wood Azure Thunder], were suppressed.

The scales, comparable to those of a spiritual artifact, were torn apart by the Yin-Yang sword intent, leaving dozens of hideous wounds of varying sizes, from which blood gushed forth.

Mu Yiren stood on the five-colored Qilin, her red lips slightly parted: "Your offensive skills are impressive, but your defense is even better, comparable to the Xuan Turtle Clan!"

These words were clearly a mockery of Ao Lie, implying that he could only cower and take a beating, and that if it weren't for his impressive defenses with his dragon scales, he would have been killed long ago.

'Xiao happy's sharp tongue is truly formidable!'

Gu Jinchao thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Thinking back to the first day Xiao happy appeared, how she immediately turned him and Lin Qingci into hedgehogs with her first words, he still felt a little depressed.

Now, Ao Lie also tasted that heart-wrenching pain, and was immediately enraged: "You have gone too far in bullying me. Today I will make you bleed in the Ice Condensation Lake."

Mu Yiren remained expressionless and said calmly, "Indeed! If words could kill, I would already be head and shoulders away!"

"you……"

Ao Lie was furious. His enormous dragon body coiled and swirled in the sky, and a fierce and demonic aura soared into the heavens.

As runes intertwined, the single horn on its head gradually withered, and starting from its abdomen, damaged dragon scales peeled off piece by piece. Amidst the writhing of flesh and blood, cyan-gold scales actually emerged.

"Half-body dragon transformation?"

Gu Jinzhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

As far as he knew, the ancestors of the demon race were the dragon and the phoenix, so all demons were their descendants.

Like the Moth Phoenix Clan, they possess the bloodline of the True Phoenix.

The Azure Dragon Clan, on the other hand, possesses the blood of a true dragon...

Humans rely on cultivation techniques to gradually refine their physique and soul, thereby improving their cultivation level.

The demon race needs to refine their bloodline to make it pure, and finally revert to their ancestral form to become a dragon or a phoenix.

Of course, there are bottlenecks in human cultivation, and there are also bloodline constraints for the demon race.

This is why Yuechu'e would do anything to devour the Nirvana Phoenix Flame in order to reach the first rank.

Because without doing so, it is impossible to break the shackles of bloodline.

"I, this prince, will show you what the true power of a dragon is!"

As Gu Jinchao's thoughts raced, Ao Lie's massive body was already enveloped in golden-blue light, and he swung out a claw carrying dragon might and demonic energy.

It actually tore through the sky and fiercely grabbed at the aloof female Taoist priest's crown!

"Having only undergone a partial transformation of its bloodline, it dares to call itself a true dragon?"

Mu Yiren scoffed and instead of retreating, advanced!

The sword in his right hand pierces through the void, striking directly at the weak point.

With a left-handed punch, one can shatter mountains and split seas; with one force, one can overcome ten techniques.

The next instant, the longsword pierced the dragon's claw, and the Yin-Yang sword intent drilled into the meridians, instantly separating the transformed true dragon bloodline from the flood dragon bloodline.

Almost simultaneously, the terrifying fist arrived, and the vast true essence surged out like a monstrous wave, solidly striking the dragon's claw wrist.

click-

The sound of bone cracking rang out!

Ao Lie let out a painful roar, his dragon claw scales shattered, his finger bones broke, and his massive body was blasted back.

Mu Yiren pressed her advantage relentlessly, her graceful figure in a Taoist robe following her like a shadow, her sword and fist attacks like an inverted Milky Way, continuous and unending.

The five-colored Qilin beneath him spewed out the spiritual light of the five elements, imprisoning his body.

"You actually... practice martial arts?"

Ao Lie went completely mad, reviving the life-saving restriction, which transformed into a cyan-gold light curtain.

He agreed to this life-or-death battle because the spies planted in the Cangyue Dynasty had already sent back all the information about Mu Yiren.

His cultivation level is at the fifth rank of the Divine Path, and he cultivates both swordsmanship and Dao techniques.

His swordsmanship originated from his master, Gong Lingyun, who was known to the world as the "Sword Immortal Gong".

The laws of the Dao originate from the Dao realm, and are comprehended through cultivating the "Supreme Mysterious Pure Dao".

With the combination of two magical abilities and the presence of double pupils, his combat power is terrifying, but even he is no match for the enemy in a life-or-death battle.

Because his bloodline has already undergone a transformation.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yiren also practiced martial arts and had already reached the sixth rank.

With all three methods employed simultaneously, it was utterly impossible to resist.

"The methods to save your life can't protect you!"

Mu Yiren let out a cold shout, and thrust out her three-foot-long sword. The Yin-Yang sword intent actually pierced through the light barrier and stabbed into the dragon's spine.

Immediately, an immense surge of martial arts essence erupted from his arms, attempting to extract the dragon tendons that contained the essence of life and all his cultivation.

"I will tear out your dragon tendons and sever your gate of life!"

"Do not……"

Ao Lie spat out blood and let out a shrill scream.
