「Inside the room!」
The two of them also heard the provocative words.
Guang Xiaoyu was itching to act, ready to make a big move, but she didn't act rashly, subconsciously waiting... waiting for an order. This was quite puzzling.
The former Demon Emperor was omnipotent and defiant, quick to fight at the slightest disagreement. There was no one across the Nine Heavens and earth who could command her.
"Senior Brother?" Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Guang Xiaoyu couldn't help but call out.
"What is it?"
"Am I going out?"
"Wait a bit longer..." Chen Pingping lowered his eyelids.
He was weighing the pros and cons.
A powerful Different Body had come from afar, probably to clear obstacles for the Divine Body, but there might also be many powerful beings watching in secret, right?
For Guang Xiaoyu, this battle held no meaning.
Instead, she might reveal her trump cards during the fight. She couldn't let that happen...
But from another perspective, this could also be a good opportunity to train, a chance for Guang Xiaoyu to test her strength.
"Do you think you can defeat him?" Chen Pingping asked.
"I can!" she answered with conviction.
This answer somewhat surprised Chen Pingping.
His junior sister was too extraordinary. One could say that her aptitude and talent weren't outstanding, yet she easily comprehended any cultivation technique she encountered.
He had also experienced the Sword Dao from the abyss within the little black dog's body, staying for half a month and barely making it out.
But Guang Xiaoyu only took a few days.
If that was the case...
Chen Pingping nodded. "Go ahead! Be mindful, and don't reveal your trump card if it's not necessary. After all, this is your capital for facing the Divine Body."
Heh heh!
Guang Xiaoyu grinned and strode out.
「Outside the door!」
Shi Yi was still cursing, trying to drive this group away. He definitely didn't want his estate destroyed because of a duel, and he hadn't even acquired the Spiritual Beast yet!
However, a wooden sword emerged, its powerful Sword Dao force directly sending Shangguan Yumo flying.
Everyone was shocked.
Then, that slender figure slowly stepped out. In contrast to Chen Shixian's stunning appearance, she was too plain and ordinary. The only memorable feature perhaps being her dark eyes, revealing a strong "confidence."
Shi Yi stared, completely bewildered. He was a bit stunned.
It wasn't because of Guang Xiaoyu's recklessness, but... her realm! Hadn't she just been at the Ninth Heaven of the Breaking Sun Realm a few days ago?
How had she reached the Second Level of the Condensed Soul Realm so quickly?
This was utterly preposterous...
"I heard you wanted to challenge me?" Guang Xiaoyu said, her eyes fixed on Shangguan Liuyu before her.
Heh.
The latter's lips curled. "Not bad strength, but there's a problem with your statement. It's not that I want to challenge you... it's that I want to kill you!"
Not far away, Shangguan Yumo, who was just getting to his feet, had a furious expression. "You dare touch me? Damn you!" He tried to rush forward but was stopped by a companion.
That companion said in a low voice, "Don't act recklessly."
When Guang Xiaoyu made her move just now, they'd sensed her realm. She had actually entered the Second Level of the Condensed Soul Realm? Wasn't she in the Breaking Sun Realm?
Her cultivation is improving very quickly! Chen Shixian, watching in secret, was also surprised.
"Kill me?" Guang Xiaoyu was excited.
How many years had passed?
She had almost forgotten that feeling—the taste of youth, the nervousness of her younger days.
"Come on!" Guang Xiaoyu chuckled. "Let me see just how powerful a Different Body truly is."
BANG!
Shangguan Liuyu seemed enraged, channeling his power, his hands bursting into raging flames, and then he charged toward her.
How infuriating!
She actually showed excitement when facing a Different Body! This was a provocation, a display of contempt for the power of a Different Body.
Shouldn't she be feeling fear?
The flames swiftly enlarged, as if transforming into a domain that enveloped everything below.
The power was extremely violent.
The air around was filled with scorching heat.
"Impressive, as expected of someone with a Sunlight Body. With such flames deployed, that little girl is bound to die!" someone praised.
"Yes! Yes!"
"Dominance of the world!" Shangguan Liuyu declared, his expression cold and confident.
He was a Different Body, his cultivation at the Fifth Level of the Condensed Soul Realm, while his opponent was merely at the Second Level of the Condensed Soul Realm—just an ordinary Cultivator.
This was the disparity.
However, from beneath the shroud of fiery slaughter, a strand of Sword Intent emerged. It was astonishingly powerful, and with a CRACK, his attack was completely shattered.
The Sword Intent swept through the sky, piercing directly through Shangguan Liuyu's body.
The crowd stared, dumbfounded.
Chen Shixian, in the tower, also fixed her gaze tightly on the scene.
What happened?
Under such an attack, a mere girl at the Second Level of the Condensed Soul Realm had actually shattered it instantly?
Something was off.
There was something strange about her Sword Dao... no, her realm was also strange...
Chen Shixian became somber, starting to realize something was amiss.
The Grand State Master, who was beside her, spoke up, "An extraordinary realm, an extraordinary Sword Dao. Behind her must be a hidden peerless expert."
The ability for someone at the Second Level of the Condensed Soul Realm to unleash such profound power was, in itself, illogical.
And that unfathomable Sword Dao of hers surpassed all current understanding of Sword Dao.
Chen Shixian looked up, "Teacher, do you think the person behind her has something to do with Chen Pingping?"
"I have not yet encountered this person," the Grand State Master said, shaking his head. "It's difficult to say for certain." He paused, then added, "However... from this battle, it's clear this little girl came prepared."
"I'm not afraid of her," she said.
"You need to take this seriously."
She pursed her lips, not saying a word.
Undeniably, Guang Xiaoyu had surprised her in some aspects, but that wasn't reason enough for a Divine Body to take Guang Xiaoyu seriously.
Shangguan Liuyu was severely wounded in an instant.
Shangguan Liuyu was a complete mess. His face was grim, his expression unsightly, and his hands, still burning with fierce flames, trembled faintly.
He had an intuition: he couldn't beat her.
But he didn't want to admit defeat. Not just because the situation didn't permit it, but more importantly because... he had to become stronger! He had to catch up to the Divine Body!
He would never allow anyone else to easily confront the Divine Body—only he was worthy!
WHOOSH!
The flames burned even fiercer, engulfing his body. He transformed into a fiery figure, and the Power Path he radiated became even more wild.
But she struck with another sword attack, completely different from the previous Sword Intent. The only similarity was its equal power. With a THWIP, it pierced through him again.
"You're no match for me," she mocked with a derisive smile.
A cultivation career spanning over one hundred thousand years had endowed her with too much. Even though she couldn't utilize it all fully at the moment, one thing remained unchanged.
Battle skills.
That was something etched into her very bones. With this alone, she could easily kill many powerful experts above her level, even a Different Body.
Not to mention, he had yet to fully mature.
The scene fell silent for a long time.
No one would have thought that a powerful Different Body would be so easily suppressed by Guang Xiaoyu, with absolutely no chance to fight back.
She... was so powerful.
No wonder she dared to challenge the Divine Body!
The flames all over Shangguan Liuyu extinguished. He clenched his fists, his body trembling, his facial muscles twitching with reluctance and rage...
But the bloody wounds on his body forced him to accept the fact: he couldn't win!
Just then, Chen Shixian leaped down. "Let's call off our engagement!"
