Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1923 - 1924: The Hardest Victory! Midnight
Stone Demon Lord raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased with the response from the Saintess of Turquoise Pool.
"Saintess, this matter involves two major sects. I hope you consider it seriously. In terms of strength and talent, I, Stone Demon Lord, believe there are few who can rival me on the Origin Continent. I wonder what dissatisfies you, Saintess. Please do tell."
"Hehe... few can rival you?" The Saintess of Turquoise Pool smiled lightly.
"Is the Saintess questioning my strength?" Stone Demon Lord’s tone lifted slightly.
Since the Saintess of Turquoise Pool did not wish to marry the Stone Demon Lord, she naturally had to give him a reason. She said, "Indeed, the marriage set by the Holy Mother back then came with a premise: the Saint Heir of your Demon God Sect must at least be a top figure among the younger generation. Have you achieved that?"
"I, Stone Demon Lord, fear no one of my generation, and I will prove it to you, Saintess."
"Since you are so confident in your strength, I would like to test whether you really have what it takes. Do you dare to duel with me?" The Saintess of Turquoise Pool suddenly said.
Whoosh...
The Saint Heirs and Saintesses below were stunned. Did the Saintess of Turquoise Pool intend to fight Stone Demon Lord herself?
Although Stone Demon Lord was chosen as the Saint Heir by the Demon God Sect, he was also quite renowned, having defeated many Saint Heirs before. If the two engaged in combat, the outcome would be hard to predict.
The Saintess of Turquoise Pool was a genius sealed on Earth for a thousand years. Upon returning to the ancestral lands, her strength exploded like a geyser. To this day, no one knows to what extent her martial prowess has reached.
Regardless, if the Saintess of Turquoise Pool were to marry Stone Demon Lord, the Saint Heirs present would be unwilling, as it would eliminate their chances.
"You want to duel me? To test my strength?" Stone Demon Lord’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
"What? Are you afraid? Didn’t you claim to fear no one of your generation?" The Saintess of Turquoise Pool chuckled softly, but in Stone Demon Lord’s ears, it sounded like mockery.
However, the more the Saintess of Turquoise Pool behaved this way, the more he liked her, and he was determined to conquer her so that she would ultimately become his woman.
"Turquoise Pool, stop the nonsense." At this moment, the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool spoke, pretending to rebuke the Saintess, though she herself did not want to wed the Saintess to the Demon God Sect.
Although the Demon God Sect was strong, it was somewhat ruthless and cruel, with evil methods that contrasted sharply with a sect like Turquoise Pool.
In the ancestral lands, when people mentioned Turquoise Pool, they would hold it in high regard, having great admiration for it.
But at the mention of the Demon God Sect, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but skip a beat; the two sects gave entirely different impressions.
It’s like one is a righteous sect, while the other leans toward evil.
That’s also why the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool was hesitant to fulfill the promise.
"Stone Demon Lord, Turquoise Pool is a bit impolite. Please don’t mind." The Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool said.
"It’s okay, Holy Mother. Don’t blame Turquoise Pool. Since she wants to test my strength, I think it’s a great opportunity. If I surpass her in martial prowess, she will willingly accept me. I hope you don’t interfere." Stone Demon Lord said.
"How could that be? You are a guest of our Turquoise Pool; it wouldn’t be proper for a host to fight a guest." The Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool replied.
"If this is what Turquoise Pool desires, I hope you can fulfill her wish, Holy Mother. I am serious." Stone Demon Lord continued.
The Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool hesitated slightly, though deep down she hoped for them to duel as well. As long as Turquoise Pool won, the marriage would be off.
Soon, she turned to Turquoise Pool, saying, "Are you certain you want to fight Stone Demon Lord?"
The Saintess of Turquoise Pool nodded.
"Very well, I will grant your wish." The Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool consented.
The Saintess of Turquoise Pool was about to duel the Stone Demon Lord. It promised to be a magnificent battle that led to the early conclusion of the Peach Banquet. Everyone left their seats and moved outside the grand hall. Then, the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool lightly tapped, and in front of the crowd, a massive light barrier enveloped a vast area.
"This battlefield will allow the two of you to fight, and even at Saint level energy, it won’t spread. You can fight without any concern," the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool said calmly.
"Saintess of Turquoise Pool, please!" Stone Demon Lord politely gestured like a gentleman.
The Saintess of Turquoise Pool said nothing, stepping lightly, she instantly rushed onto the battlefield within the light barrier.
Stone Demon Lord smiled faintly, and then entered the light barrier as well. The two stood opposing each other, and the duel was about to begin.
This unexpected duel left everyone somewhat bewildered. Such a scene unfolding at a well-going Peach Banquet truly caught everyone by surprise.
At this moment, everyone knew the Saintess of Turquoise Pool planned to defeat Stone Demon Lord herself and let the marital contract go to hell.
They naturally hoped for the Saintess of Turquoise Pool to win.
Ye Qiu stood amidst the crowd, watching the battlefield ahead. He was sure the battlefield created by the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool was, as she said, very formidable. No one would have imagined that Ye Qiu’s gaze toward the battlefield wasn’t out of concern for who would win or lose but rather pondering the light barrier created by the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool.
In Ye Qiu’s eyes, the light barrier was a formation, capable of sealing a space, and according to the Holy Mother’s words, even Saint-level power couldn’t break through it.
Such a formation was terrifying.
He wondered whether the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool understood formations herself or if it was taught by someone else.
"A super sect is indeed a super sect, turning a battlefield into a formation to prevent energy spillover. Such an overwhelming force," Ye Qiu marveled to himself. Without witnessing it firsthand, he wouldn’t have realized the prowess of the Turquoise Pool; even a single Holy Mother could wipe him out.
Moreover, Ye Qiu hadn’t been able to discern the true strength of the Holy Mother of Turquoise Pool from start to finish.
The duel commenced.
In an instant, the Saintess of Turquoise Pool launched her attack at Stone Demon Lord.
Suddenly, energy exploded continuously on the battlefield, and its awe-inspiring power made the light barrier tremble as if it might shatter in the next moment.
Li Jin, standing on one side, exclaimed, "How terrifying! Is this the level of a duel between Saint Heirs and Saintesses? Compared to them, I am truly too weak."
Ye Qiu watched the battlefield intently. He realized that the strength of the Saintess of Turquoise Pool was indeed as he had sensed, having undergone a qualitative change. Every move and technique required effort for him to fully counter even now.
Every strike was at the Death Void level, and each was ruthless. It was hard to imagine such a display coming from a woman.
Of course, for the Saintess of Turquoise Pool to display such strength, the opposing Stone Demon Lord must also be a formidable opponent.
From the moment Stone Demon Lord appeared, Ye Qiu had been observing him. After all, the opponent was the Saint Heir of the Demon God Sect. He had killed a Demon Lord, and naturally, this Stone Demon Lord would become his opponent in the future. So, Ye Qiu did not underestimate him.
Also astonishing was Stone Demon Lord’s strength, which left Ye Qiu in awe.
Compared to the swift, accurate, and fierce attacks of the Saintess of Turquoise Pool, Stone Demon Lord surpassed her in every aspect, giving Ye Qiu a premonition that if the Saintess of Turquoise Pool hadn’t hidden her strength, she might not win at her current level.
