"Aaaaaah!"
After consuming the lotus seed, a surge of violent spiritual energy erupted from Chen Rou!
The spiritual energy aura on his body continuously soared, clearly indicating that he had reached the cultivation level of a preliminary Celestial God Realm!
The Jiang Clan members in the seats couldn't help but reveal joyful smiles upon seeing this.
This momentum... the Holy Envoy is getting serious!
"Quickly kill her, Holy Envoy!"
Jiang Zhen was also filled with excitement at this moment, disregarding his status as the clan head, and eagerly shouted.
He just wanted to win quickly, to seize all of Nanli City, and didn't want any more complications.
After the violently raging aura gradually subsided, Chen Rou looked at Luo Ruying with a sinister expression, a smug smile playing on the corner of his mouth.
"To be able to push me to this point, you're already quite good."
"But it ends here!"
"Even if you want to surrender next, it's already too late!"
Taking the Sacred Lotus Seed to temporarily force a breakthrough to the Celestial God Realm cultivation required a great deal of damage to his foundation!
It meant that in the future, he would likely find it very difficult to truly break through to the Celestial God Realm again.
This was his final trump card, and also the reason he had been so confident before the competition, saying he had a ninety-nine percent chance of winning.
However, if it could be avoided, he really didn't want to go that far.
Since he was being pushed to this point, he naturally wouldn't let Luo Ruying off easily!
However, just as Chen Rou's voice fell, a glaze of golden light spread through Luo Ruying's eyes, and behind her, the Dharma Idol of the Goddess of Luo faintly appeared!
With a flash, she was once again before Chen Rou, her cold eyes fixed on him as she swung out her Immortal Sword!
The Goddess of Luo's Dharma Idol behind her also slashed out with a sword!
This time, Chen Rou saw Luo Ruying's movements clearly, but he had misjudged her strength.
Chen Rou's expression was shocked. He conjured a barrier with his spiritual power and raised his sword to block in front of him. However, the Immortal Sword of the Goddess of Luo easily cut through the spiritual sword in his hand, and the golden sword light sliced across his neck!
Even the arena's barrier behind him was cut open by the sword light!
Chen Rou stood there, his expression blank, his face filled with disbelief.
This, this couldn't be possible…!
He had lost?!
What on earth was going on with this woman!
With such speed and sword might, was she really only at the Celestial Human Realm…!
Chen Rou couldn't comprehend it, and he would never get the chance to.
As Luo Ruying's Immortal Sword returned to its sheath with a clear chime, Chen Rou's head rolled from his neck!
The entire arena fell silent.
Chen Rou is dead…?
The Jiang Clan actually lost?!
That peak Celestial Human Realm expert, in front of this woman, was killed in just two sword strikes?!
Didn't he just forcibly break through to the Celestial God Realm cultivation? He couldn't even block that one strike…!
Everyone present was shocked into stunned silence.
Many people had thought the Jiang Clan was a sure thing in this competition, but they never expected the result to be so unexpected…
After a moment of stunned silence, the Qi Clan side immediately erupted into earth-shattering cheers.
"We won! Our Qi Clan won!"
"Great!"
"Old Qi, we won!"
As the Qi Clan cheered, the rest of the people in the seats also sent out congratulatory and joyous cheers to the Qi Clan.
This was also the result most people wanted to see.
It could be said that it was what everyone hoped for.
Luo Ruying slowly jumped off the stage and walked towards Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye.
Ning Yechen also carried Luo Hongye towards Luo Ruying, ready to give his wife a tiring hug.
But he didn't expect another figure to be one step ahead of him, quickly pouncing into Luo Ruying's arms.
"Sister Luo, thank you so much!"
"You're really amazing!"
Qi Yuan tightly embraced Luo Ruying, expressing her gratitude.
At this moment, she was so moved that tears streamed down her face, crying from joy.
Luo Ruying smiled slightly and didn't say much. Using the Goddess of Luo's power again had depleted her spiritual energy.
Fortunately, she had experience from dealing with the ghost husband last time, and Chen Rou's cultivation wasn't too strong. This time, she hadn't overdrawn her spiritual energy too much.
"Wife, you've worked hard."
Ning Yechen, holding Luo Hongye, came to Luo Ruying and said with a slight smile.
Then, he shot a displeased glance at Qi Yuan, who was still holding Luo Ruying.
This girl really… stole his spotlight!
She really couldn't read the atmosphere at all…
Luo Ruying smiled triumphantly, taking Luo Hongye from Ning Yechen's arms.
As a former female emperor of the Immortal Realm, if she couldn't even handle a mere peak Celestial Human Realm cultivator, then she would have cultivated in vain for so long.
Just as the family of three was about to leave, Jiang Zhen's furious roar suddenly erupted from behind them:
"Wait a moment!!"
"I don't recognize this competition!"
"Cheating!"
"She must have used some despicable means, otherwise how could she have won against the Holy Envoy!"
Jiang Zhen pointed at Luo Ruying, screaming hysterically.
He couldn't accept this result at all!
Luo Ruying winning the match meant that from this moment on, the Jiang Clan would lose all control over the streets of Nanli City!
The entire Nanli City would belong to the Qi Clan!
Everything he had worked so hard for had gone down the drain!
"What, the Jiang Clan can't afford to lose?"
"Planning to welsh on the bet?"
Qi Yuan looked at Jiang Zhen, her expression a mix of smugness and mockery as she jeered.
She had waited for this moment for a long time!
Finally, she didn't have to endure the Jiang Clan's oppression anymore!
"I will never admit the results of this contest!"
Jiang Zhen glared at Qi Yuan with bulging eyes, his ferocious gaze, like a wild beast, wishing he could devour her!
Everyone from the Jiang Clan and their guards also rushed over with weapons drawn, surrounding the Qi Clan!
The scene instantly became tense.
Just then, Han Guangzhi slowly descended from mid-air between the Qi Clan and the Jiang Clan. His gaze was cold as he looked at Jiang Zhen and the others, and he shouted,
"The Commerce Association competition is over. Does the Jiang Clan intend to violate the rules set by the Treasure Commerce Association?!"
Han Guangzhi's powerful cultivation aura erupted, instantly causing the Jiang Clan members to retreat repeatedly!
The Commerce Association competition, witnessed by the Treasure Commerce Association, was absolutely fair and just!
The Jiang Clan's actions had already violated the rules of the Treasure Commerce Association!
The Jiang Clan members were shocked, their expressions fearful.
They never expected Han Guangzhi's cultivation to be in the Celestial God Realm!
Moreover, the Treasure Commerce Association was spread throughout the world, its influence not to be underestimated, and was definitely not something a small Jiang Clan could afford to provoke...
The onlookers, who had long been displeased with the Jiang Clan's arrogant behavior, were now even more incensed by their attempt to go back on their word after losing the competition!
Everyone was indignant, cheering for the Qi Clan and standing behind them.
"The Jiang Clan has already lost, are they planning to resort to violence?"
"Going back on their word, the Jiang Clan is a disgrace to the Treasure Commerce Association!"
"Get out of here!"
The Jiang Clan immediately became the target of everyone's criticism in the arena, like rats scurrying across the street, reviled by all.
The Jiang Clan members clenched their fists in anger, snorted, and turned to leave in disgrace.
With the Treasure Commerce Association present, and having incurred the wrath of the crowd, they couldn't afford to take action.
"Just you wait!"
Jiang Zhen thought viciously in his heart.
One day, he would make everyone present regret this!
Today was simply an insult to the Jiang Clan!
Qi Rongchang, experienced and delighted, didn't forget to shout at Jiang Zhen from behind:
"May I trouble Clan Head Jiang to prepare the street management contract within tomorrow and deliver it to our Qi Clan."
Jiang Zhen was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, but he didn't turn around to answer.
Like a stray dog, he quickly left...
