Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1686: 18 Heavenly Talents, Ranked No. 1
Boom...
Almost in the moment when the enormous Thunder Beast on the gun tip condensed, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame in Xiao Yi’s hand instantly dissipated.
It wasn’t that the power of lightning could overcome the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Instead, it was that at this moment, relying on one Purple Crystal Spirit Flame alone, Xiao Yi was no match for Ran Qi.
Seeing the flame in Xiao Yi’s hand dissipate, Ran Qi did not seize the opportunity to attack but said coldly, "Yi Xiao, I know you’re not that weak."
"Release your domain."
Indeed, even now, Xiao Yi hadn’t used his domain yet.
"Domain?" Xiao Yi shook his head, "No."
Hearing this, Ran Qi was instantly enraged, "Yi Xiao, do you really disdain me that much? Not even going all out?"
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, "I will go all out, rest assured."
The Martial Arts Arena’s scope is ultimately limited.
Currently, within the Thunder Spear Domain, the aura of lightning is already astonishing.
If he then released the Purple Flame Domain, the collision between the two domains would cause the aura of lightning and flame to spiral out of control.
Afterwards, if he went all out, even a slight bit of his flame aura would be too much for anyone in the surrounding audience to bear.
Bang...
Once again, in Xiao Yi’s hand, a mass of flame enveloped it.
However, compared to the previously pure purple flame, now, multiple colors appeared within the flame.
The flames became more violent, and the speed of his fist also became faster and more vigorous.
With one punch from Xiao Yi, he blasted the huge Thunder Beast on the gun tip, making it collapse again.
"Oh?" Seeing this, Ran Qi’s expression returned to excitement, "Interesting."
"Thunder Attack."
The enormous Thunder Beast at Ran Qi’s gun tip became solid again.
In the next second, Ran Qi’s figure began to become mystical and unpredictable.
"Phantom image?" Xiao Yi frowned.
At this moment, Ran Qi’s figure flashed continuously in place.
However, his blinking gradually began to teleport.
The long spear in his hand became filled with multiple phantom images.
The gun tip’s Thunder Beast flickered non-stop, resembling a raging thunder beast erupting from the phantasm.
"Something’s wrong." Xiao Yi reacted instantly.
"Using the power of thunder and lightning to forcibly amplify himself."
"A stronger physical body, faster speed."
"Combined with the gun tip Thunder Beast, increasing the power out of thin air."
Indeed, at this moment, as Ran Qi’s figure flickered, he teleported constantly.
The distance of each teleportation and flickering was not large, even barely noticeable.
Perhaps, just less than half an inch.
But these continuous half-inch teleportations were also continuous attacks from the gun tip and the Thunder Beast.
In a second, Ran Qi seemed to make only one spear thrust, but in fact, made dozens from the gun tip.
The multi-color flame in Xiao Yi’s hand could initially withstand.
But as Ran Qi continued to advance, his flames began to tremble.
A trace of pain came from his fist.
His footsteps, under the impact, unconsciously retreated.
Xiao Yi continuously retreated, while Ran Qi advanced through teleportation, with his spear style and the power of the Thunder Beast growing more astonishing.
When Xiao Yi stepped back a few paces, the flame in his hand, under heavy impact, suddenly collapsed.
"You sure have some skills." Xiao Yi smiled indifferently.
Bang... In an instant, a Five-Colored Flame Ring condensed in his hand.
This was the first time he condensed the Five-Colored Flame Ring since coming to compete at Dongli Sword Palace.
"Break." Xiao Yi murmured with a low shout.
Boom... A loud bang echoed.
This time, Ran Qi’s thunder and spear style instantly collapsed.
It was as if it was crushed with overwhelming force.
"Strike with your strongest attack." Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"Alright." Ran Qi shouted furiously, without the slightest hesitation.
"Thunder Beast."
"Using the same technique as before?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"No." Suddenly Xiao Yi was shocked.
A patch of blue light flashed abruptly behind Ran Qi.
The blue light flashed and disappeared.
Xiao Yi didn’t see what it was, but he knew that just now, it seemed like an ocean of thunder and lightning appeared and then vanished out of thin air.
As for what exactly it was, he didn’t see clearly.
But at this moment, Ran Qi’s aura had already skyrocketed.
"Breaking through the Supreme 9993 Dao realm, reaching the level of Supreme 9994 Dao." Xiao Yi slightly frowned.
Boom...
In the next second, Ran Qi thrust out with his spear.
Within the spear, an astonishing power of thunder and lightning erupted instantly.
Xiao Yi, likewise, unleashed a punch.
Fist and spear tip met directly, just like in their first confrontation.
But this time, the explosive roar abruptly made Ao Donglou on the chief viewing seat stand up and release a stream of Sword Qi.
Sword Qi enveloped a kilometer around the Martial Arts Arena.
Almost the moment the Sword Qi appeared, the battle between Xiao Yi and Ran Qi erupted to the extreme in an instant.
A powerful wave of thunder and lightning burst forth and spread, engulfing the thousand-meter area in just an instant.
At that moment, all people could see was a sea of raging blue lightning.
The figures of Xiao Yi and Ran Qi were completely lost in the surging blue lightning.
"Such powerful lightning energy." Around the viewing seats, 99% of the Martial Artists’ faces changed drastically.
"If not for the quick reaction of Palace Master Ao, the lightning energy might have affected us here, with unimaginable consequences."
A few seconds later.
The vast blue lightning dissipated just like that.
The range of the Martial Arts Arena returned to calm.
Everyone glanced at the situation within the Martial Arts Arena, showing a flash of astonishment but quickly wearing an expression of understanding.
Inside the Martial Arts Arena.
Xiao Yi stood indifferently, without a single scratch.
But Ran Qi was already on the ground, spitting blood, evidently defeated.
Bang... Xiao Yi flicked his arm, dispersing the Five-Colored Flames, and walked toward Ran Qi.
Though Ran Qi was down, he had not fainted.
His face didn’t show any sign of despair, only a wry smile.
"As expected, I still lost." Ran Qi smiled bitterly, stabilizing his internal injuries, slowly standing up.
Xiao Yi gave a faint smile, saying nothing.
"Actually, I knew long ago I couldn’t win against you today." Ran Qi said with a self-deprecating smile.
Indeed, he had known long ago that he couldn’t win against Yi Xiao today.
No, it should be said that he knew the outcome before coming to this competition.
Thus, a few days ago, when Xiao Yi defeated Heu Youu with one punch, he said that he, Ran Qi, could also defeat Heu Youu within a few punches.
One punch and several punches, naturally, there is a difference.
But at that time, Ran Qi did not refute a word.
So, although Ran Qi went to Sword Mountain last night to ’declare war’ with Xiao Yi,
he only said in the end, ’Once I break through the Supreme realm, I won’t be able to hold back,’ instead of saying ’Once I break through the Supreme realm, I feel confident of defeating you.’
So today, he was both excited and calm.
He knew the outcome, he just wanted to fight with everything he had.
"Since it’s a competition, there is naturally a difference between winning and losing." Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"But you, as a contender, did not disappoint me."
"Let’s go."
"Contender?" Ran Qi was taken aback.
Xiao Yi gave a faint smile, "Having arranged this battle last time, let us arrange the next battle this time."
"Alright, straightforward." Ran Qi laughed heartily a few times.
Xiao Yi smiled, saying nothing.
In fact, in this competition for quotas, where heavenly talents and monsters gathered from various places, the level of difficulty was indeed very high.
Whether it was Ye Liu or Ran Qi, both serve as the best proof.
Ye Liu, like an all-around Martial Artist, excelling in many disciplines such as cultivation, medicine, and formations.
And Ran Qi, the battle just now, was enough to prove everything.
However, when comparing these two, it really is difficult to rank one above the other.
After all, Ye Liu had yet to use his ultimate move.
And Ran Qi, the sudden burst of lightning at the end, Xiao Yi didn’t clearly see what it was.
Just as Xiao Yi was about to leave and return to the viewing seats,
Suddenly, in the distance, a figure broke through the sky to come.
"Oh? The competition is not yet over, seems like I’m not too late." A crisp and pleasant voice echoed in the sky.
Everyone’s attention was unconsciously attracted there.
In the sky, a graceful figure stood in the air.
The figure, dressed in a water-blue dress, surrounded by swirls of water light, seemed like a dream.
Xiao Yi looked up at the figure in the sky, frowning slightly, "It’s her?"
Ran Qi also looked up at the sky, his previously laughing expression abruptly stopping, replaced by an awkward look.
"Damn, that nasty woman came too."
"You know her?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"Of course." Ran Qi gritted his teeth, "That woman is a monster."
"Shui Ninghan."
"Shui Ninghan?" Hearing this, Xiao Yi instantly recognized the identity of the figure.
The Young Master of Water Light Mansion, ranked first among the Eighteen Mansion’s Talents, Shui Ninghan!
In the sky, the figure stood gracefully aloft, yet it instantly attracted everyone’s gaze.
Xiao Yi took a glance, then narrowed his eyes, "Just by her cultivation aura, she has reached Supreme 9994 Dao."
...
Third update.
