What Would You Do If An Ugly Woman Asked You To Dual Cultivate?-Chapter 24: Winner

Mo Yanyu and Han Tianxue circled each other, their breaths ragged. Blood trickled from Mo Yanyu's split lip, while a deep gash above Han Tianxue's right eye bled freely, staining her cheek crimson.

Han Tianxue struck first. She slammed her foot into the ground, sending a jagged spike of rock shooting toward Mo Yanyu's abdomen. Mo Yanyu twisted sideways, the stone grazing her ribs and tearing a chunk from her shadow armor. She retaliated by thrusting her palm forward, a spear of condensed darkness piercing Han Tianxue's left shoulder. The earth warrior grunted, stumbling back as black energy sizzled against her stone armor.

Mo Yanyu pressed her advantage. Two shadowy arms sprouted from her sides, their clawed hands raking toward Han Tianxue's throat. Han Tianxue crossed her earthen forearms in front of her face, blocking the strike. The force drove her boots into the soil, but she retaliated by jerking her head forward—a stone helmet materializing around her skull. It smashed into Mo Yanyu's nose with a sickening crunch. Blood sprayed as Mo Yanyu reeled, her shadow limbs flickering.

Han Tianxue didn't let up. She grabbed Mo Yanyu's wrist with one hand and drove her other fist into her opponent's stomach. The blow cracked Mo Yanyu's armor, and she coughed violently, a spatter of blood hitting Han Tianxue's chestplate. Mo Yanyu's free hand shot upward, fingers elongating into shadow blades that slashed across Han Tianxue's exposed neck. Han Tianxue released her grip and staggered, clutching the wound as dark energy seeped into the cut.

"Isn't it too much?" Yang Hao said. He felt that both of them were getting more and more violent.

"Let them fight," the woman said, "Nothing will happen."

"Let them continue," Navrita said in his head. Yang Hao nodded as he continued watching.

Mo Yanyu wiped her bloody mouth. Her shadow armor rippled, then split—seven new arms erupted from her back, each wielding a weapon forged from pure darkness: a sword, axe, spear, dagger, hammer, chain, and whip. The weapons hummed with unstable energy, their edges flickering like static.

Han Tianxue responded by stomping hard. The ground beneath her feet surged upward, compacting into a massive, six-legged earth elephant. Its trunk swung forward, scattering debris, while its stone tusks gleamed under the sunlight.

The two charged.

Mo Yanyu's whip lashed out, coiling around the elephant's trunk. The chain followed, snapping toward Han Tianxue's legs. Han Tianxue leaped onto the elephant's back, avoiding the chain, and the creature reared up, slamming its front legs down. The impact sent a shockwave rippling outward, but Mo Yanyu's hammer arm swung in an arc, blasting the force aside with a concussive burst of shadow.

A boulder tore free from the elephant's side and hurtled toward Mo Yanyu. The spear arm thrust forward, piercing the rock, while the sword and axe arms cleaved it into rubble. Mo Yanyu lunged through the debris, dagger hand stabbing toward Han Tianxue's ribs. She dropped flat against the elephant's back, and the dagger screeched against stone.

The elephant's trunk whipped around, catching Mo Yanyu across the chest. Her armor cracked audibly, and she flew backward, skidding across the ground. Before she could rise, Han Tianxue leaped from the elephant, her fist encased in a jagged rock gauntlet. Mo Yanyu crossed all seven arms in defense, but the punch landed with the weight of a landslide. The ground beneath her cratered, and she screamed as three of her shadow arms disintegrated.

Han Tianxue raised her fist for another blow—but Mo Yanyu's remaining whip snapped around her throat. The chain followed, binding her arms, while the hammer smashed into her side. Han Tianxue's armor fractured, and she gagged, blood dripping from her mouth. With a roar, she yanked the chain, pulling Mo Yanyu off-balance, and headbutted her. Mo Yanyu's head snapped back, but her spear arm drove upward, impaling Han Tianxue's thigh.

Both fighters collapsed, their weapons dissolving. Han Tianxue clutched her leg, her earth armor crumbling to reveal a deep, pulsing wound. Mo Yanyu lay on her back, her remaining shadow arms twitching erratically.

"Get up," Han Tianxue rasped, dragging herself to her knees. "This isn't over."

Mo Yanyu spat a glob of blood and said, "You first."

The elephant charged, tusks aimed at Mo Yanyu's prone form. She rolled aside, the tusks gouging the earth where she'd lain. Her whip and chain arms regenerated, lashing out to entangle the creature's legs. The elephant stumbled, and Mo Yanyu leaped onto its head, dagger hand plunging into its stony skull. The elephant shuddered, cracks spreading across its body, but Han Tianxue slammed her palms together. The cracks sealed, and the elephant's trunk coiled around Mo Yanyu's waist, hurling her into a tree.

Han Tianxue pressed her hands to the ground. Dozens of stone spikes erupted around Mo Yanyu, penning her in. Mo Yanyu's sword arm slashed in a wide arc, cutting the spikes down, but Han Tianxue was already airborne, having launched herself from the elephant's back. She descended like a meteor, both fists clad in spinning stone drills.

Mo Yanyu crossed all seven arms above her head, weapons merging into a solid shield of darkness. The drills struck with a deafening clang, sparks flying as stone ground against shadow. The shield held, but the force drove Mo Yanyu's knees into the dirt. Han Tianxue landed in a crouch and swept her leg, knocking Mo Yanyu onto her back. She pinned her with one hand and raised her drill fist—

Mo Yanyu's whip coiled around her wrist. The chain bound her other arm, and the hammer smashed into her jaw. Han Tianxue's head snapped sideways, but she headbutted Mo Yanyu's sternum, making her gasp. The two grappled, rolling across the broken ground, each struggling to land a killing blow.

Mo Yanyu's dagger found an opening, stabbing Han Tianxue's side. Han Tianxue roared, her elbow smashing into Mo Yanyu's collarbone. Both screamed in pain but refused to release their holds.

Finally, the elephant staggered over, its trunk seizing Mo Yanyu and flinging her into the air. Han Tianxue stood, panting, and the elephant disintegrated into a swirling storm of rocks that coated her body, forming a massive, four-armed golem suit.

Mo Yanyu landed in a crouch, her shadow arms regenerating fully. She tore a chunk of darkness from her chest, molding it into a jagged greatsword. The two charged one last time—

Their collision shook the forest. The golem's fists pummeled Mo Yanyu's defenses, each hit cratering her armor. The greatsword cleaved through stone, shearing off one of the golem's arms. Han Tianxue grabbed Mo Yanyu's face and slammed her into the ground, but Mo Yanyu's whip wrapped around her neck, choking her. They rolled, biting, clawing, until a final explosion of dark and earth energy blasted them apart.

Both lay motionless, their armors shattered, bodies bloodied and broken. The clearing fell silent.

Then—Han Tianxue's finger twitched. Mo Yanyu's hand spasmed. Trying their best to stand but they couldn't.

Han Tianxue, used earth element to lift herself, looked at Mo Yanyu. Who was still laying on the ground, breathing heavily.

"You win," Mo Yanyu said.
