Chapter 196: One Fight to Fame

A Qi’lin Divine Beast composed purely of flames, the same size as the golden giant, revealed itself.

The golden giant instinctively took a step back—Yi Zhao still retained some of his reason. He discovered that the Fire Qi’lin opposite him was a threat to him.

The Fire Qi’lin was composed of Lou Mu Yan’s Fire Elemental Energy Condensation, which consumed a lot of her Spiritual Energy.

She discovered that she could only barely construct this Array but couldn’t utilise its full powers. However, it was more than enough to deal with this golden giant.

She took out a few bottles of Spiritual Energy Replenishing Pills and poured them into her mouth to devour and refine. Such a move made the lips of those watching the battle twitch.

Those weren’t candy, those were pills! Could you not be so extravagant?

When the Spiritual Energy in her body returned to its peak state, the Array Flag in Lou Mu Yan’s hand shook a few times.

“I’ll let you deeply understand what’s called ‘Five Elements Mutual Inhibition’.” After she finished speaking, she channelled Spiritual Energy into the Array Flag.

The Array Flag flew up into the sky and landed over the Array, slowly unfolding.

The black cloth flag exuded a faint soft light and a layer of a jade-coloured rune belt wound around the black flagpole continuously.

Feeling the soft light above, it was as if the Fire Qi’lin had been channelled with lifeforce. It roared a few times before raising its claws and rushed towards the golden giant.

If it weren’t for the body composed of flames, the movements and form would be indistinguishable between real or fake.

Although the golden giant felt a slight tremor of fear towards the Fire Qi’lin, but he didn’t show any signs of cowering. He raised his giant palm and slapped towards the Fire Qi’lin.

The Fire Qi’lin didn’t dodge. After the palm slapped down, its body actually scattered inch by inch.

Everyone watching the battle was very shocked. The Fire Qi’lin rushed forward filled with valour and vigour, but lost just like this?

Then the body that shattered inch by inch turned into fire lotuses and the petals bloomed one by one, giving people a very bewitching, devilish feeling.

After the fire lotuses bloomed, the Array Flag above waved spontaneously. The fire lotuses merged together again, turning into the appearance of a Qi’lin Divine Beast once more.

More importantly, this time, its size and pressure were even larger and stronger.

In this way, the golden giant kept smashing the Fire Qi’lin, the Fire Qi’lin would scatter and combine without stopping, then eventually began to take the initiative to pounce onto the golden giant and bite down.

Around a cup of tea’s time passed and there were many pits and hollows on the golden giant’s body that had been bitten and corroded by the Fire Qi’lin.

After all, the golden giant was transformed from Yi Zhao’s body as the foundation with the support from the Secret Skill, so each time a piece was bitten off, some bloodstains would appear in that place.

“AH!!” After another quarter of an hour, the golden giant had been torn open by the Fire Qi’lin in many places and he couldn’t stop shrieking.

Lou Mu Yan knew that the perfect time had come. She formed a Taoist Seal with her hands, snapped her fingers, and a jade-coloured Rune Seal1 the size of a palm merged into the Fire Qi’lin.

The Fire Qi’lin didn’t combine again in the last resistance of the golden giant.

Just when everyone was curious, the scattered lotus’ petals fell off piece by piece as if they were withering.

The crimson petals fluttered and fell everywhere. Many people couldn’t help but admire the scenery made from Fire Elemental Energy Condensation. Only the golden giant’s pupils constricted, and he turned around without hesitating, wanting to run away.

The petals in the air were as if they had already known and the pieces flew down and melted into his body.

“AH!!” Shrills after shrills of screaming rang out. The sound was no longer the same metallic feel it was before, but instead it was precisely Yi Zhao’s voice.

The shrill cries grew louder and louder, making countless Sword Master’s scalps numb from the sound, with chills on their backs.

In the end, all the petals fell and enveloped the golden-coloured giant. It was impossible to see just what happened to the person under the petals.

The clusters of flames that emerged from the earth leapt around and finally turned into a red light, entering the golden giant’s body.

“AH!!” The screams gradually weakened.

Then, everyone watched the raging fire ignite on the golden giant, melting it little by little.

“This—This Array is so terrifying!” Most of the Sword Masters standing on the city wall originally didn’t know this was an Array created by Lou Mu Yan, and only realised when the Array Flag appeared.

The Sword Masters standing beside him took a long time to recover and said, “The person controlling the Array is actually the terrifying one alright?”

“How’s she terrifying? She’s obviously such a beautiful woman capable of causing the downfall of a kingdom.”

“…”

“I’m talking about her strength being terrifying, not her appearance.”

Finally, in the central area under the city wall, everyone watched the fire gradually diminish.

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes, and with a thought, the jade rune that had been inserted into the Fire Qi’lin turned into a very thin rune belt and wrapped around the pure gold token, dragging it under ground. Then, the token was temporarily swallowed by Xue Xue who had long been waiting underground.

In such a series of transfers, apart from the otherworldly-looking, handsome man in white in the castle that discovered it, even the Elders of the Six Major Sects didn’t realise it.

The white-clothed man curled his lips. His woman was indeed smart!

After the golden giant on the ground disappeared, Lou Mu Yan waved her hand, and the black Array Flag above flew into her hands.

After putting away the Array Flag, she snapped her fingers and the burning flames disappeared in an instant completely, as if it had never appeared before.

Except for a pile of ashes on the ground, there was no more of the figure of the golden giant Yi Zhao.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t walk near that place either. She closed her eyes and flipped her jade hands. The bright yellow seeds that were buried deep in the ground and the seed hidden within that carried a slightly golden light returned to her hands.

She didn’t remain any longer and walked into the city as if taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard. The rooms in the inns were already full, so she went straight to the resting area on the city wall to meditate and recover.

“Yan’er, are you alright?” Lou Mu Bai asked with concern in his eyes.

Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly and said: “I’m fine, but it seems we won’t be able to head out tonight.”

The Elemental Law contained in the golden colour of the golden giant was too strong. It seemed as if she didn’t take much effort to destroy it, but it actually consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy and vitality. This time, she needed a day off to recover.

“You can recover at ease.” Yun Zi Mo said with a light smile and went to meditate not far away to guard her.

Seeing this, the several other people also sat cross-legged around her to prevent others from coming to find trouble.

But they didn’t know that the Sword Masters in this city had long been stunned by Lou Mu Yan’s methods. They were just afraid that while she looked like a docile rabbit, she would then suddenly turn into a powerful, terrorising tigress. As if they dared to go up to offend.

The Elders of the Six Major Sects in the castle had different expressions, and they all had their own little plans in their minds. But the desire for Lou Mu Yan to enter their own Sects not only didn’t weaken, but instead, strengthened.

Except, during the competition, they weren’t allowed to appear outside. So, when they left, they all used special methods to contact some of the predetermined students in the competition space.

Because the city where the battle took place was a medium-sized city, and it was a battle before nightfall, so many Sword Masters who came to take refuge saw the battle between the two teams.

Lou Mu Yan’s battle this time was spread by the Sword Masters who watched the battle in the city through various means. Her name spread to every city in the competition space and became the object of discussion among many Sword Masters.

This time, even if she wanted to keep a low-profile, she wouldn’t be able to do it. One fight to fame was just like this—crazy, domineering, and proud!
