Tianhai Zhen Zhu stood up.

"The grudges of the past, let's settle it in a battle today."

Although, like Disan Ying, she didn't feel completely confident, her cultivation level was far stronger than his.

Back then, in Crime City, a powerful figure from the Water Temple protected her, and he chose to pass all his power to her after being severely injured.

Over the past six months, she completely absorbed this power and her cultivation advanced rapidly.

She couldn't believe it; having been bestowed power, how could she be inferior to Ling Xiao?

Back then, she was already stronger than Ling Xiao in terms of cultivation, and she believed she was today as well.

The Yin-Yang Realm Second Layer cultivation, among people under thirty, was extremely rare, and few could achieve it.

Especially on the Divine Phoenix Continent, it was even rarer.

"Heh, I didn't expect the Water God Temple Seven Heroes, six men, to not even match up to a woman."

Ling Xiao chuckled and then shifted his gaze from Disan Ying's face to Tianhai Zhen Zhu: "In light of your willingness to battle me, I'll spare that waste's life."

"Young Master, you can't take such a risk! Let me handle it."

Diyi Ying frowned and said, "He will surely die by my hand, why should you risk yourself?"

"Are you implying that I am inferior to him?"

Tianhai Zhen Zhu glanced at Diyi Ying and asked faintly.

"This!"

Diyi Ying fell silent.

Thinking closely, Ling Xiao's cultivation just half a month ago was only at the Tenth Cave Heaven Realm Peak.

Even if he had exceptional talent, he wasn't like Joshua Long, a Dragon Clan descendant, so on what basis could his cultivation drastically improve within half a month?

Considering this, Diyi Ying thought it seemed rather impossible.

Judging by Ling Xiao's power when he killed Disi Ying, he seemed to be about the same on the cultivation level, but his mastery of martial skills was truly exceptional.

That sword strike was simply textbook perfect.

The timing, space, angle, and force were all precisely controlled.

He couldn't achieve it himself.

But if relying on just that to surpass the cultivation gulf, it was clearly not enough.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "Young Master, be cautious."

He had already made a decision; if Tianhai Zhen Zhu was in danger, he would definitely step in, even if it meant fighting two against one.

Embarrassing or not, it was irrelevant because Tianhai Zhen Zhu was the daughter of the God Empress of the Water Temple.

If Tianhai Zhen Zhu faced mishap, they would suffer upon returning.

"Don't worry, he won't kill me!"

Tianhai Zhen Zhu dared to fight, naturally carrying her own confidence.

Not only because of her outstanding cultivation but also because she had other trump cards.

Tianhai Zhen Zhu's body slowly floated up and then landed in the arena.

At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted completely.

"Yin-Yang Realm Second Layer cultivation!"

Feeling this terrifying aura, the martial artists on Divine Phoenix Continent were astonished.

This young-looking girl was incredibly powerful.

Those who initially thought Ling Xiao could win began to worry.

After all, one's confidence was built on strength.

Faced with a martial artist of Yin-Yang Realm Second Layer, how could Ling Xiao possibly win?

Gao Yang Wuqing and Zongyu Huangquan showed schadenfreude expressions.

Both young experts, one from Blackwater Immortal Island and the other from Penglai Fairy Island.

Unfortunately, both had enmity with Ling Xiao.

One ranked third on the Dragon and Phoenix List, the other fourth, both eager for Ling Xiao to die quickly.

"Decent strength, worthy of a battle!"

Ling Xiao chuckled.

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone was so shocked they nearly dropped their eyeballs.

This Tianhai Zhen Zhu was a formidable Yin-Yang Realm Second Layer expert, and he said her strength was decent?

Was this not overly arrogant?

Or had the previous battles left his mind muddled?

"Stop pretending, for those unaware, they'd think your cultivation is stronger than Diyi Ying!"

From the Water Temple side, martial artists shouted.

Obviously ridiculing Ling Xiao for putting on airs, actually scared to the point of weakness.

Ling Xiao didn't even look at these people; he merely gazed coldly at Tianhai Zhen Zhu.

Regarding Tianhai Zhen Zhu's cultivation level, he truly wasn't afraid; with his ability, challenging two levels higher wasn't a problem.

Let alone, Tianhai Zhen Zhu was only one level higher.

His current concern was that Tianhai Zhen Zhu might have other tricks.

But this was fine; a life-and-death duel inevitably required adapting to various circumstances. Having a trump card was not necessarily a bad thing for him.

On the contrary, it could provide him with more training.

With a smile, his clothes suddenly began fluttering without wind, and his black hair floated in the silent space.

Wave after wave of powerful energy released from his body.

His aura quickly strengthened.

Ascending to Yin-Yang Realm First Layer cultivation!

Impossible!

Once again, except for the few who came with Ling Xiao, all other martial artists stood up.

With an almost incredulous gaze, they looked at Ling Xiao.

"He really broke through to the Yin-Yang Realm?"

"How did this guy cultivate?"

"No wonder he was so boastful."

"This explains why he could kill Disi Ying so easily."

Zongyu Huangquan and Gao Yang Wuqing almost slumped in their seats.

Ji Huangtian's face didn't look good either.

"Damn it, how did he cultivate? In just half a month, he became so powerful; I thought I could confidently defeat him."

Zongyu Huangquan felt the most uncomfortable, he ranked fourth on the Dragon and Phoenix List, with cultivation at Yin-Yang Realm First Layer.

Now, after half a month, his cultivation hadn't made any progress.

However, Ling Xiao quietly caught up to him.

Zongyu Huangquan looked at Ling Xiao with extremely malicious intent, considering how he could eliminate this young man.

On the other side, Tianhai Zhen Zhu was only surprised for a moment before quickly regaining composure.

Ling Xiao's strength, although unexpectedly formidable.

Nevertheless, she remained confident in securing victory.

"No wonder you are so arrogant; it turns out you broke through to the Yin-Yang Realm, but in this battle, I will show you that you are still an amusing frog at the bottom of a well.

Your cultivation reached this level, yet your mental state hasn't; in all aspects, you are still far behind."

Tianhai Zhen Zhu looked at Ling Xiao indifferently, then waved her hand, revealing seven enormous beads behind her.

The seven beads circled her body, emanating a gentle blue glow.

But nobody dared to underestimate the terrifying explosive force contained within those seven beads.

However, Ling Xiao didn't speak; a slight sneer lifted from the corner of his mouth.

Ice's Fury appeared in his hand, and then his figure suddenly flickered, merging Ice's Fury with the Dark Demon Sword in midair.

Body of Light - Rapid Divine Movement!

His figure, like a flash of light cutting through space, moved at a speed beyond the discernment of all eyes present.

No terrifying momentum!

No instant burst!

Only a silent killing intent existed.
