C157 (1/2)
However, she only stopped in midair for a moment before charging towards Ruo Lan at an unbelievable angle.
For a time, the crowd was filled with wild thoughts.
Pink shadows swirled around Ruo Lan.
On the other hand, Ruo Lan's eyes were slightly closed. The longsword in her hand flew out, repeatedly sending the pink illusionary figure flying.
Outside the arena, Fairy Lan observed the situation with rapt attention. Beside her, Xi Ling softly sighed in admiration, ”Junior sister Ruo Lan is really good at fighting. I didn't expect her to be on par with Junior Sister Qu.”
Fairy Lan shook her head, ”Ruo Lan is indeed strong, but she hasn't used her full strength up till now. If the situation continues like this, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Ruo Lan. ”
Xi Ling laughed lightly, ”Master, Junior Sister Ruo Lan has not used her full strength yet. If both sides were to fight with their lives on the line, who knows who would win? ”
Fairy Lan laughed and said, ”You silly girl, what do you mean risking your life to compete with me? In order to compete with others in the same sect, you must remember to hold back. ”
Xi Ling nodded with a smile. After a moment of silence, she asked, ”Master, if they are going to fight to the death, who is stronger?”
Fairy Lan smiled. ”You can already tell, why are you asking me?”
Xi Ling smiled but said nothing.
The battle continued unabated. The pink silhouette of Lianlian had almost dyed the entire drill grounds pink.
Ruo Lan stood proudly within it. Although she was on the defensive, she did not appear to be at a disadvantage at all.
Finally, Qu Lian became impatient.
”The Turtle Art of Yulan peak is indeed formidable!” Qu Lian sneered.
”This dog's mouth can't even bite the turtle shell, so it's useless to come.”
Qu Lian snorted: ”Hua Ruo Lan, let's see how good your words are! Let's see how you'll withstand this move of mine! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Lian's figure abruptly retreated all the way to the edge of the drill grounds before stopping.
She held her sword with both hands and chanted a spell in a low voice.
For a time, the sky changed color. The originally clear sky was now covered by rolling dark clouds!
Everyone looked on in horror at this scene. Who would have thought that a disciple of the Jade Demon Sect would actually be able to trigger the appearance of the tribulation clouds in the sky!
On Fairy Lan's side, everyone's faces were solemn.
It seemed that Qu Lian was going to use her true ace attack, but he didn't know how to handle Ruo Lan.
Victory or defeat should be decided in the next moment!
But at this moment, Ruo Lan who hadn't moved until now, finally moved.
She had only taken a light step forward, but the crowd had a strange feeling. It was as if she had stepped right next to Qu Lian.
After that, Ruo Lan lifted her foot and kicked deeply at Qu Lian's stomach.
With her cultivation technique destroyed, Qu Lian's face suddenly turned pale. She spat out a mouthful of blood as her body fell and flew back to the crowd on the Cold Plum Peak.
The tribulation cloud in the sky suddenly dissipated, and the crowd went into an uproar.
Not only the Cold Plum Peak disciples, even Fairy Lan was dumbstruck as she looked at Ruo Lan.
”Hua Rulan, are you going against the rules?!”
”What kind of sneak attack?!”
The disciples of the Cold Plum Peak immediately started cursing loudly.
Ruo Lan curled her lips, too lazy to tell who it was.
She only cast her gaze on Fairy Plum, looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.
Fairy Plum's expression was already gloomy to the extreme. Who would have thought that Ruo Lan would interrupt her cultivation technique just as she was about to make a move.
The others only thought that Ruo Lan was up to some tricks, but Plum Blossom understood very well.
What Qu Lian had just displayed was Leng Mei Peak's secret sword art. Once this sword art was used, the surrounding wind and thunder would move. If anyone were to get a bit closer, they would be attacked.
But this Rulan!
She was completely unharmed as she passed through the thunderbolt, and in the end, she even kicked Qu Lian out!
Although everyone was watching the scene when Ruo Lan moved, no one understood what happened.
Only Fairy Plum and the others could see that the moment before Qu Lian activated the secret sword, Ruo Lan had shot out ten flying needles, dispersing all the immortal Qi around Qu Lian's body.
If he were in the mortal world, he would most likely call it a hidden weapon to injure someone.
However, this was the Immortal World, so all the treasures could be used.
Besides, their moves were all as fast as lightning. Once they started a fight, there would be no room for manoeuvre.
Life and death happened in the blink of an eye.
Even though Fairy Plum hated him to the extreme, she was still sensible enough to distinguish between the two.
”Hua Ruo Lan wins!”
Fairy Plum gritted her teeth and said coldly.
When these words were spoken, the people from the Cold Plum Peak immediately fell silent.
Although the disciples of the Cold Plum Peak still looked at Ruo Lan with resentment, they still endured it in the end.
Ruo Lan smiled, placed the Floating Cloud Ice Sword back into its scabbard and slowly returned to the ranks of the Yulan peak's disciples.
Fairy Lan looked at Ruo Lan with astonishment.
Ruo Lan smiled. ”This is something I made in the past. I didn't expect it to be of great use at this time.”
Fairy Lan looked at Ruo Lan for a while, then smiled. ”As long as you won.”
Compared to this match, the following matches were undoubtedly much more exciting.
Bi Xia was indeed one of the nine great immortal mountains of the first heaven, her disciples were tyrannical.
Even with Ruo Lan's strength and combat experience, after seeing so many moves, she still couldn't help but give a low cheer.
The four branches were divided into three groups, and the top three would be decided afterwards.
