More and more people gathered in the seats below the arena, and many onlookers gradually came over.
They heard that the Qi Family and the Jiang Family had changed the bet for the competition, and everyone was full of anticipation for the outcome.
Both families had bet everything they had in Nanli City!
On the stage, the rest of the Jiang Family and the Qi Family had retreated, leaving only Luo Ruying and Chen Rou standing.
A barrier rose around the circular arena, enveloping the entire stage.
Battles between cultivators were extremely dangerous, especially for those with higher cultivation levels. Their moves often shook the heavens and earth, inevitably causing collateral damage.
In the city, competitions and exchanges needed to be handled with extreme caution.
Ning Yechen held Luo Hongye in his arms, sitting in the spectator's seat and watching quietly. Qi Yuan was also sitting beside him.
At this moment, Qi Yuan's expression was worried and tense as she watched Luo Ruying on the stage, her hands tightly clasped together nervously.
Luo Hongye, sitting in Ning Yechen's arms, raised her little head to look at Ning Yechen, her small face also filled with worry.
"Daddy, is Mommy going to fight the bad guys again?"
"Yes, but don't worry, Yeye."
"Your Mommy, she's very strong."
Ning Yechen smiled and rubbed Luo Hongye's head, comforting her.
He was very clear about his wife's strength.
A peak God Realm cultivator she could almost kill with a single sword strike, let alone this puny Celestial Realm peak.
Even if something unexpected happened, no one would discover his secret intervention.
He wouldn't let Luo Ruying get hurt in the slightest.
Qi Yuan, sitting beside Ning Yechen, couldn't help but reveal a trace of guilt on her face.
She both hoped Luo Ruying would win and worried about her getting injured.
If Luo Ruying was really injured because of her, she would truly blame herself.
How would she dare to face Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye in the future...
On the stage, Chen Rou stared at Luo Ruying in front of her, confidently spreading her arms wide open and smiling:
"Come on~"
"Let me see what you've got~"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Luo Ruying's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her figure vanished from where she stood!
All that remained was a faint golden afterimage!
Huh?!
When Chen Rou regained his senses, Luo Ruying's cold, crimson eyes had already appeared before him!
The Immortal Sword at her waist was unsheathed, and the golden, resplendent sword light illuminated his face!
At this moment, time seemed to slow down countless times. The playful, confident expression on Chen Rou's face gradually transformed into terror, and his mouth slowly opened wide!
So fast!
This speed!
Is she really only at the Celestial Realm?
"Pft!"
The golden sword light directly slashed across Chen Rou's body, a diagonal cut!
Blood instantly splattered everywhere!
Luo Ruying didn't have any intention of exchanging words with Chen Rou, planning to end it quickly and cleanly!
She still needed to hurry home to take care of her child!
"Pfft!"
Chen Rou coughed up blood, immediately retreating a step to create distance, and flicking out several Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearls from his hand!
The Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearls were incredibly powerful, each containing compressed, immense Heavenly Thunder energy, and were forged with the aid of heavenly thunder!
They were extremely precious!
The explosive power of the heavenly thunder was enough to instantly kill a Transformation Immortal Realm cultivator!
Yet, he threw out over a dozen at once!
This was one of the trump cards he had treasured for a long time, and had been reluctant to use!
He hadn't expected this damned woman to be so strong, forcing him to immediately unleash everything he had without reservation!
A dozen Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearls floated around Luo Ruying, completely surrounding her.
"Heavenly Thunder! Explode!"
Chen Rou raised two fingers, angrily issuing the command. The dozen Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearls flashed with lightning and instantly exploded!
Seeing this, Luo Ruying's expression remained calm. She gracefully flipped her Immortal Sword in her hand and plunged it into the ground.
Sword Qi rippled outward, and a transparent golden phantom enveloped Luo Ruying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dozen Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearls exploded simultaneously, their power truly astonishing!
The entire arena was instantly blown to pieces, utterly destroyed.
The crowd near the arena seats couldn't help but retreat in fear.
Thick dust enveloped the entire arena.
Everyone held their breath, nervously watching the stage.
Chen Rou clutched her bleeding chest, a smug and vicious smile on her face.
The power of over a dozen Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearls, even if it didn't kill her, would have left her with only half a life!
However, the dust quickly dispersed, and Luo Ruying, holding the Immortal Sword, appeared before everyone, her delicate and exquisite immortal figure completely unharmed.
Not to mention being injured, there wasn't a single tear in her clothes.
"This, how is this possible!"
Chen Rou exclaimed in shock, a question hanging in the air.
How could someone standing in the center of over a dozen Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearls be completely unharmed!
Below the arena, the Qi Family members all breathed a collective sigh of relief, smiles of reassurance gracing their faces.
Ning Yechen, on the other hand, wore a light smile from beginning to end.
Luo Ruying's injuries were now mostly healed, and the Immortal techniques she had learned were all of the highest caliber. Those little pearls couldn't possibly hurt her.
Moreover, the Immortal Sword in her hand shone with a brilliant golden light, its sword-light swift as a shadow in motion, and overflowing with ethereal beauty at rest. It was extraordinary...!
If Chen Rou hadn't been wearing a low-grade Immortal Armor from the start, he would have been cleaved in two with a single strike!
Compared to the Qi Family, the Jiang Family's faces were ashen.
The Holy Lotus Sect's Saintess possessed the cultivation of the peak Celestial Realm! How could she be so utterly defenseless against that woman?
What happened to the supposed ninety-nine percent chance of victory?
Jiang Li's expression was also grim.
Now, his legs were crippled, and he could never walk again. He'd also lost his manhood.
This made him even more irritable and vicious.
He blamed all of this on Ning Yechen and his family!
That day, it was because he met them that he was delayed on the road. That's why he was assassinated and ended up in this state!
So, before the competition, he specifically instructed Chen Rou to humiliate Luo Ruying in public.
The outcome was completely one-sided, defying all expectations!
Chen Rou was no match for Luo Ruying!
This was hard for the Jiang Family to accept.
Chen Rou also noticed the Luo God Immortal Sword in Luo Ruying's hand, his expression deeply shocked.
That was definitely an Immortal Sword!
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to easily cut through his Mysterious Meteor Immortal Armor with a single strike!
He had been brimming with confidence, relying on the Mysterious Meteor Immortal Armor and the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Pearl, sure that he could win easily.
But he hadn't expected the other party to have a remarkable Immortal Sword as well!
Chen Rou's already pale face turned even more ashen due to excessive blood loss, her complexion looking incredibly grim.
"Holy Envoy! What are you waiting for? Kill him already!"
Jiang Li, his mind clouded with rage, roared at Chen Rou on the stage.
The most important thing was gone, and he had lost all interest in Luo Ruying.
He only wanted to see Luo Ruying dead now!
Moreover, this match concerned the entire future of the Jiang Family in Nanli City!
No mistakes were allowed!
Being yelled at like that by a useless person, Chen Rou's expression turned ruthless.
Once he wins this match and goes back, he'll kill that Jiang Family trash!
If it weren't for him causing trouble, he probably wouldn't have to deal with Luo Ruying today.
But no matter what, he absolutely cannot lose this match today!
Chen Rou's expression turned hateful as he took out a lotus seed from his pocket and swallowed it. A pale, sinister smile appeared on his ashen face.
"Heh heh heh, you forced my hand!"
