“But what if you can’t withstand three moves from this old man?”
The elderly, cyan-bearded man couldn’t kill Lou Mu Yan, but he didn’t want to let her go so easily. He already had a plan in his heart to turn her into a crippled person.
Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly and raised an eyebrow: “If I can’t withstand three moves, then even if I don’t die, I’d be severely injured. If you still want to play, then why don’t we bet a bit, playing big.”
“Ha, what big talk. How do you want to bet?” The elderly, cyan-bearded man sneered. He was still extremely confident in his three moves.
“If I can successfully withstand your three moves, then you’ll give me the few dozens of Spiritual Herbs and Spars unique to this space that I need. If I can’t take your three moves, then I’ll gift you the Orange Blaze I have.” Lou Mu Yan tossed out a bait, and a bold smile rose on her little face, making her impossible to ignore.
The elderly, cyan-bearded man originally didn’t care, but when he heard the ‘Orange Blaze’ Lou Mu Yan spoke of, his pupils constricted, “Alright! This old man will bet!”
“Sign a contract as proof!”
Lou Mu Yan suddenly held a Contract Text that had been refined with the restrictions of the Laws of Heaven and earth. She wrote on it with her Spiritual Energy, dropped a drop of blood on it, then threw it to the other party.
The elderly, cyan-bearded man snorted coldly: “Since you want to do this, then this old man will accompany you to the end.”
After speaking, he took the Contract Text and wrote the agreement on it, and also dropped a drop of blood essence. Instantly, the Contract Text flashed with a silver light, then disappeared into the bodies of the one human, one Demon.
“Has Lou Mu Yan gone crazy? Not only does she dare to fight, but she also offered to make some bet. Just where does she get this confidence?” Someone from the human Sword Masters couldn’t help but exclaim.
“I’m afraid that she was carried away by the previous five winning streak. I originally thought she was a calm and rational person, but who knew that she’d be so disappointing.” One of the elite pupils of a superpower kingdom sighed.
The Crown Prince of Nan’xun smiled gloatingly and said: “It seems that even without me acting, Lou Mu Yan, that woman who can’t tell good from bad, will kill herself.”
When Lou Mu Yan died, he’d quietly snatch the interspatial ring from her. He still didn’t give up on that Sumeru Light Boat.
“Big Brother, will Lou Mu Yan be alright?” Luo Li’s face was filled with worry, and he tugged at Luo Ye’s sleeve.
Luo Ye’s eyes were still indifferent, and he said slowly: “She never does anything uncertain, don’t worry.”
As long as it’s about Lou Mu Yan, he can’t predict anything, which meant that she had unmatched luck on her, turning ill luck into good. Since she dared to agree to fight, then she must have some certainty.
Hearing Luo Ye’s words, Si Nan and the other’s hovering hearts also relaxed a lot, but they were still very nervous as they looked at the one human, one Demon in the air.
Because of their three-move agreement, the other human Sword Masters and Demon Cultivators didn’t fight immediately, but instead, stood on their sides, watching their offence and defence.
In a corner of the city wall, a stern-looking man in black squinted slightly and stared at Lou Mu Yan intently.
He had a feeling that this woman would be his biggest obstacle to winning first place.
“Please.” Lou Mu Yan spread out her hand and signalled that the elderly, cyan-bearded man could begin.
The elderly, cyan-bearded man wasn’t polite either. He stretched out one hand and traces of Demonic Energy wound around his palm, the power gradually increasing.
Lou Mu Yan felt that the energy storm that the elderly, cyan-bearded man wanted to condense took around nine-tenths of his entire power. She narrowed her eyes and constantly formed seals in front of her chest.
Then, with a flick of her finger, a few white, lustrous jade stones buried in several directions underground.
“Go!”
After a few breaths of time the elderly, cyan-bearded man’s gaze blazed like torches. He waved his hand and a purple ball of light with lightning escaped from his palm.
Although the ball of light was small, but it carried blazing power, and the surrounding sky quicky darkened with lightning and thunder.
“That old Demon is actually a thunder attribute Demonic Beast. Lou Mu Yan is in danger!” Si Nan clenched his hands tightly, his black eyes widening.
The expressions of Luo Li and the others instantly turned grim. The ball of light opposite even made them feel a sense of danger. If they greeted it, even if they used their trump cards, they might still be hurt.
Xiao Jun Yao’s gentle expression sank. He obviously didn’t expect the other party to use thunderbolt means to destroy Lou Mu Yan as soon as he began.
But once the one-on-one challenge began, he couldn’t help nor interfere.
And looking at the violent ball of light, his brows knitted even deeper. If he used his trump cards, he might be able to withstand it.
But Lou Mu Yan’s cultivation base was simply too low. With just this first move, she was in danger of dying.
The ball of light quickly approached Lou Mu Yan and the closer it got, the larger the size of the ball, and all those present were emotionally stirred by that power.
“Rise!” Lou Mu Yan shouted, her palms flipped up and she slapped hard.
[PUCHI!!]
Walls of fire rose one after the other from the ground, blocking in front her. The ball of light slammed into the fire wall, setting off dazzling and sparkling light curtains.
Although the light was blinding, but the people present didn’t evade as they squinted their eyes and stared straight ahead.
Wherever the ball of light went, a wall of fire would instantly collapse, but after the wall of fire was annihilated, another one would emerge from the rear.
Gradually, the speed of the ball of light passing through the fire wall slowed down a lot, and the time it took to annihilate one fire wall was also not as fast as it was in the beginning.
Lou Mu Yan discovered that the power in the ball of light was only cancelled by one-third, so she immediately formed seal. Jade-coloured runes emerged from her body and fell into the Fire Array.
[PUCHI!!]
As soon as the jade-coloured runes entered the Fire Array, a hundred more fire walls emerged from the ground to block the ball of light ahead of her, and the centre of the crimson wall of fire also had a faint orange colour.
When the ball of light passed through the last wall of fire, its power had been greatly reduced, but it had not yet disappeared.
Lou Mu Yan’s fist exuded a layer of faint orange light, and she jumped up herself, greeting it with her fist.
Everyone couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their lips, watching such actions from her—how could such a woman whose beauty could cause the downfall of a kingdom be so violent…
Then something completely unexpected occurred.
After Lou Mu Yan punched the ball of light with all her strength, the ball of light flashed purple light a few times and actually gradually faded, then finally disappeared.
Although Lou Mu Yan was also forced back a hundred metres, but she actually withstood the first move of the Peak-Phase Tier 8 Demon Cultivator.
[WHOA!!]
The people on the city wall couldn’t help but be in an uproar again!
“Lou Mu Yan’s attainments in Arrays must be comparable to that of a Grade 3 Array Master right.”
“Those hundreds of Elemental Energy fire walls resisted most of the ball of light’s power, so that’s why she could withstand that move. So Arrays could even be used in such wonderful ways, it sure is the first time I knew of this.”
Many people were astounded by the temporary Fire Array that was arranged by Lou Mu Yan.
“Who knew! Who knew! This woman seems to have long been prepared. No wonder she dared to agree to the three-move contract, and even increased the stakes.”
Some of the men looked at Lou Mu Yan with fiery eyes—‘a lovely and graceful woman made a gentleman pursue’. Lou Mu Yan was beautiful in appearance and was strong in abilities, which made many people admire her.
In a world where the strong were respected, strength was the criterion for testing truth. The strong could attract the attention of countless people wherever they went.
At this time, many Sword Masters present already forgot how they weren’t optimistic about Lou Mu Yan before, and only felt that she was peerlessly breathtaking.
A coldness flashed past the elderly, cyan-bearded man’s eyes. That ball of light was condensed with nine-tenths of his Demonic Energy plus his thunder attribute talent, yet it was actually withstood by that woman opposite. The contempt in his heart dissipated instantly.
With a bit of caution in his eyes, he said: “As expected of the dark horse that emerged among the human Sword Masters in this competition. Although you used Arrays, but you are qualified to battle this old man on an equal footing after withstanding this old man’s one move.
“However, you have to be careful with the second move.”
