Ye Xuan’s words left everyone dumbfounded.
What did that mean? Did this kid really think he was a match for Liu Ruoxi? Judging by the battle, he was at an absolute disadvantage. Where did he get the confidence to think he could trample Liu Ruoxi under his feet? This was simply sheer arrogance—he was seeking his own death.
However, his words made Liu Ruoxi breathe a sigh of relief.
She had only been thinking of humiliating him just now and hadn’t gone for the kill. If he had surrendered, she wouldn’t have had the chance to end his life. Fortunately, this arrogant kid who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth still wanted to continue fighting.
This was exactly what she wanted!
"Xuan’Er, are you crazy..." Gongsun Yanran’s expression changed. Just as she was about to say something, her pupils suddenly trembled.
She felt the blood within her body surging wildly. An inexplicable sense of dread crept out from inside her. She actually felt her entire body turn cold! Abruptly looking up, she discovered a massive Golden Snake appearing in the sky. The Golden Snake was coiled directly above Ye Xuan’s head.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had unleashed his Dragon Soul Power.
Of course, he had also cast the Hidden Dragon Technique. He naturally wouldn’t dare to expose his true Dragon Soul in front of so many people.
The giant Golden Snake hovered in the air. As soon as it appeared, it wasn’t just Gongsun Yanran whose body trembled—everyone present had the exact same reaction! Whether it was Gongsun Xin or the members of the Liu Family. Those with weaker cultivation even fell straight to their knees. Even Liu Yongzhi and Gongsun Wenjin wore expressions of absolute shock.
"Impossible! What rank of Beast Soul is this? It’s actually making my blood and qi surge! Is he really just an illegitimate child of the Gongsun Family?"
"Did this kid Ye Xuan awaken a high-level Fierce Beast Beast Soul? This truly astonishes me. Have I still underestimated him?"
Opposite Ye Xuan, Liu Ruoxi’s expression changed for the very first time. Monstrous waves were already churning in her heart.
She thought, "My blood is surging wildly, and my legs are trembling. But why? Could it be that this Golden Snake is a higher rank than the Beast Soul within my body?
"No, impossible! How could a rustic country boy awaken such a high-ranked Beast Soul!"
BOOM!
Just as Liu Ruoxi was still lost in shock, Ye Xuan’s body transformed into a bolt of lightning and closed in on her. His fist struck Liu Ruoxi squarely in the chest.
This punch hit like a Big Mountain.
Liu Ruoxi’s body turned into a streak of pink light and was instantly sent flying. She rolled on the ground over a dozen times before she managed to stabilize herself, yet she was still sliding backward rapidly. The friction from her shoes against the ground sparked intense flames.
Before she could bring her body to a complete halt, Ye Xuan appeared right beside her again. His speed was so fast that she could only catch a glimpse of a single streak of light.
Having unleashed his Dragon Soul Power, Ye Xuan’s strength had skyrocketed tremendously. The current Ye Xuan possessed combat power roughly equivalent to the 3rd Layer of the Demon Spirit Realm.
What followed was the moment for Ye Xuan to brutally beat Liu Ruoxi.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Ye Xuan’s fists fell relentlessly like a shower of meteors. Although Liu Ruoxi tried to block with all her might, how could she possibly withstand it?
Her clothes began to tear. Blood began to spill from the corners of her mouth. Finally, her body was blasted high into the sky by Ye Xuan’s heavy blows.
Before she could fall back down, Ye Xuan soared like an eagle spreading its wings, appearing right above her. Without a shred of mercy, he spun like a golden top in the air. After a full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotation, he delivered a vicious kick to Liu Ruoxi’s chest!
This kick seemed to carry the Power of Ten Thousand Juns. A visible ripple formed by Spiritual Qi tore through the air, as if the strike had blown the very air apart.
BOOM!
With a massive crash, Liu Ruoxi’s body slammed heavily into the ground. The cracks in the solid earth grew wider and wider.
Unable to hold it in any longer, Liu Ruoxi violently spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood. Her clothes were torn, and her hair was a disheveled mess. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought she had been violated.
"Impossible... Impossible! How could you possibly hurt me?" Liu Ruoxi’s eyes were filled with absolute shock.
Ye Xuan didn’t bother to explain. After landing on the ground, he picked up the pink whip. Without a word, he lashed the whip right at Liu Ruoxi’s face.
CRACK!
A crisp sound echoed out. A hideous, bloody laceration immediately appeared on Liu Ruoxi’s beautiful face. As soon as one lash landed, another was already in motion.
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK!
In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with the shadows of the whip. Although Ye Xuan didn’t know any whip techniques, he didn’t need to. Simply thrashing wildly and swinging with a frenzied fury was more than enough.
Compared to Liu Ruoxi’s techniques, his style looked much more like he was beating a wild dog. People from the countryside had all beaten wild dogs before, but Liu Ruoxi had probably never done such a thing in her life. When beating a dog, you had to use force and possess an imposing momentum; otherwise, you would only end up being intimidated by the dog instead!
At first, Liu Ruoxi tried to use her Spiritual Qi to block with all her might, but it was useless. Her Spiritual Qi was directly shattered by Ye Xuan’s strikes. The terrifying power shredded her clothes and ripped open her fair skin.
Ye Xuan looked like a maniac. Not only did he not find it cruel, but he actually struck harder and harder.
Beat her!
Beat her forcefully!
Beat her ruthlessly!
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK.
Every lash of the whip sent bloody mist spraying into the air.
Silence. The martial arts arena fell into an eerie silence.
No one had expected that by merely unleashing his Beast Soul Power, Ye Xuan would completely suppress and beat down Liu Ruoxi! Just what rank of Beast Soul was this? Could it be a rare Fierce Beast Beast Soul! Otherwise, how could it grant such a terrifying boost to Ye Xuan’s strength?
"Second Sister!"
At this moment, a member of the Liu Family couldn’t help but want to step forward to help, only to be blocked by Gongsun Xin.
Gongsun Xin said indifferently, "This is an arranged duel between the two of them. You want to intervene? You don’t have the right. If Liu Ruoxi doesn’t want to get whipped anymore, her only option is to surrender voluntarily."
Following Gongsun Xin’s words, some people from the Liu Family couldn’t help but growl in low voices.
"Liu Ruoxi, just surrender. This is too humiliating."
"Sigh, you’ve really disappointed us. To think you can’t even beat an illegitimate child from the countryside."
It was unclear whether those words had stimulated Liu Ruoxi, but she suddenly tilted her head back and let out a furious roar at the sky.
"No! I will not lose! I will not lose!"
Perhaps fueled by the anger and humiliation in her heart, Liu Ruoxi actually managed to suppress her violently surging Spiritual Qi and blood. In the next moment, a ten-zhang large Silver Moon Beast appeared in the void.
Although the aura of the Silver Moon Beast was incredibly frenzied, it still couldn’t compare to Ye Xuan’s Dragon Soul. Even though the Dragon Soul’s pressure had been concealed, the Silver Moon Beast Soul was still trembling. However, the fact that Liu Ruoxi was able to suppress the fear in her heart and unleash her Beast Soul Power proved that her willpower was quite resolute.
As soon as her Beast Soul Power emerged, Liu Ruoxi’s strength skyrocketed several times over.
"I don’t know what rank of Beast Soul you’ve awakened, but if you think you can defeat me, Liu Ruoxi, dream on! Body Technique: Star Moon Battle Body!" she shouted sharply once again.
Suddenly, spots of blue light appeared in front of her. These specks of light multiplied rapidly, eventually forming a suit of blue armor that attached itself to her body. Clad in the armor, she looked like a female War God.
"This is the Star Moon Battle Armor! Little Sister has actually mastered the Star Moon Battle Body!"
The Star Moon Battle Body was a formidable Body Technique. It utilized the Star Moon Power between heaven and earth to form durable battle armor over one’s body.
