Chapter 192 Destroy Her
Fighting is not allowed in the Immortal City, so a special arena for duels has been set up.
Xie Wan'er, Gu Yan, Lu Yan, and others arrived at the dueling arena. The arena was quite lively; two people were already fighting in front of them, and it looked like they were about to finish. After Xie Wan'er and Lu Yan explained their purpose to the people there, they quickly received permission, and as soon as those two finished, it was Xie Wan'er and Lu Yan's turn.
On the dueling platform, Xie Wan'er and Lu Yan stood a few steps apart.
Surrounded by many people, some standing and some sitting, Gu Yan, dressed in white, possessed an unparalleled elegance that attracted many admiring glances. Song Qi deliberately walked over to her, politely saying, "I am Song Qi from the Wood Spirit Palace. May I ask your name, fairy?"
Gu Yan glanced at him, a casual glance, yet her clear blue eyes made Song Qi's heart skip a beat. Gu Yan said coldly, "Lin Daiyu."
Her voice was so beautiful that Song Qi stared at Gu Yan, completely mesmerized.
"So it's Fairy Lin. Are you also a disciple of the Heartless Palace?" Song Qi asked.
Gu Yan didn't answer the question; his gaze was fixed on the arena. Xie Wan'er and Lu Yan's battle had begun. Xie Wan'er wielded a long sword, while Lu Yan held a blooming red lotus flower in her hand. The red lotus flower emitted a crimson glow, its color vibrant and dazzling, appearing quite extraordinary.
Xie Wan'er looked at the lotus flower in her hand and wondered: What kind of magic weapon is this? I've never seen her use it before. Is it a newly acquired magic weapon?
As Xie Wan'er swung her sword, streaks of icy sword energy attacked Lu Yan, instantly covering the entire dueling arena with frost.
Lu Yan gave a soft snort, and the red lotus flower emitted a dazzling light. Wherever the red light touched, the frost flying swords melted away as if they had encountered raging fire. In an instant, all the flying swords that covered the entire dueling arena vanished completely.
Lu Yan, her clothes fluttering, vanished from her spot in an instant and appeared behind Xie Wan'er, striking her back with a palm.
When Xie Wan'er saw Lu Yan disappear, a look of surprise appeared on her face. Soon, the killing intent coming from behind made her heart pound. She turned around abruptly and struck out with her left palm, which collided with Lu Yan's palm.
With a deafening boom, the two palm strikes transformed into a storm, sweeping across the entire dueling platform. Golden runes surged and flickered incessantly across the platform. This specially designed dueling platform wouldn't be damaged in a battle of this level. Xie Wan'er and Lu Yan each took a step back. Lu Yan's lotus flower shot out, hurtling towards Xie Wan'er.
Xie Wan'er noticed something strange about her lotus flower and didn't dare to take the attack head-on. She flew into the sky and dodged the blow.
Lu Yan caught the lotus flower and immediately caught up with it.
The two of them instantly flew from the ground into the sky.
Xie Wan'er pointed her finger, and a huge ice-blue magic circle unfolded in front of her, from which beams of blue light shot out.
Lu Yan formed a hand seal, and the lotus magic weapon suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant lotus shield that blocked her path. All the beams of light struck the lotus shield, but it remained undamaged and continued to spin, hurtling towards Xie Wan'er.
The lotus shield, under Lu Yan's control, crashed towards Xie Wan'er.
Xie Wan'er was startled and hurriedly retreated backward.
But the lotus shield was extremely fast and quickly caught up.
Xie Wan'er could only open her mouth and spit out a blue bead. The blue bead emitted a soft light and crashed into the lotus shield. The two collided quickly, and with a loud bang, the lotus shield flew backward from the impact, while the blue bead shattered. Xie Wan'er's body trembled, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
What?!
Xie Wan'er was shocked and incredulous. She hadn't expected Lu Yan's lotus flower to be so powerful. With just a gentle impact, it shattered her natal pearl.
A sinister and cold look appeared on Lu Yan's face. She put away the lotus flower, flashed in front of the seriously injured Xie Wan'er, and struck Xie Wan'er with a palm, wanting to destroy Xie Wan'er's foundation and cripple her.
Song Qi frowned, about to make a move.
After all, she is the disciple of the Palace Master of the Heartless Palace. If we really cripple her, it will be a troublesome matter.
Just as Song Qi was about to make a move, someone was faster than him.
Gu Yan had been watching Xie Wan'er and Lu Yan's duel closely. He cared more about Xie Wan'er than Song Qi did, so he acted even faster.
Everyone saw a white shadow flash out, and then the white shadow appeared behind Xie Wan'er. Gu Yan supported Xie Wan'er with one hand, and with the other hand, she struck out from a distance, and a huge golden handprint was born. The surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) violently rushed towards the golden handprint, and the power of the golden handprint surged, like a golden mountain crashing towards Lu Yan.
In a panic, Lu Yan hurriedly offered up the red lotus.
The red lotus, shimmering with crimson light, rapidly expanded to tens of feet in size and collided with the golden handprint, producing a thunderous roar. The golden handprint shattered and vanished, while the enormous red lotus flew backwards towards Lu Yan. Lu Yan hurriedly tapped her fingers, casting several incantations to control the incoming magical weapon.
Xie Wan'er looked at Gu Yan with a pale face. Gu Yan's hand was around her slender waist, and her pale cheeks immediately turned red.
"Are you alright?" Gu Yan asked her.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious," Xie Wan'er said, blushing.
All eyes fell on Gu Yan.
He was already eye-catching enough just standing to the side, but now that he's on stage, he's even more attention-grabbing. This fairy in white has a cool and ethereal air about her; veiled, she's like a flower seen through mist, possessing a unique charm.
Who is she?
Lu Yan glared angrily at Gu Yan: "Who are you? What's it to you?"
"The outcome of your battle is decided; you have won. You have won, but to go so far as to use excessive force and try to destroy someone's foundation is going too far," Gu Yan said coldly.
The clear, cold voice was like the sound of ice being struck and jade being shattered, extremely beautiful.
"She agreed to duel me herself. Once she stepped onto this dueling platform, she was responsible for her own life and death. She was inferior in skill; it was her own fault for being useless." Lu Yan glanced mockingly at Xie Wan'er beside her.
Xie Wan'er's face turned bright red.
She was more skilled than Lu Yan, and she had always won in the past, but this time Lu Yan had the advantage in terms of magical artifacts. However, a loss is a loss, and making other excuses is just finding reasons to justify oneself.
"Alright, my senior sister is no match for you, you win this round. Now it's my turn, I'll challenge you to a match, do you dare to accept?" Gu Yan said.
Seeing that Gu Yan was only at the early stage of True Immortal, Lu Yan naturally didn't take him seriously. She felt that Gu Yan's palm strike just now was simply something she hadn't expected; his sudden attack caught her off guard.
She said disdainfully, "Fine, if you lose, you and your senior sister will both kowtow to me a hundred times and serve me as slaves for a thousand years."
Upon hearing this, Song Qi exclaimed, "Junior Sister, you mustn't!"
But no one listened to him. Although he was the senior brother and his cultivation was far superior to Lu Yan's, Lu Yan was very favored by his master and had long been spoiled.
Lu Yan sneered, and the lotus flower in her hand split into hundreds of blossoms. Red flames surged from these blossoms, instantly making the area incredibly hot. The surrounding crowd exclaimed, "It's Samadhi True Fire!"
With a wave of her hand, Gu Yan sent Xie Wan'er away from the dueling platform and into the audience. His white robes fluttered, his long hair danced, and he was like a holy flower blooming in the wind, his beauty almost divine under the glow of the flames.
