Chapter 160: Battle with Qin Huaiyu (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Qin Huaiyu inversed his longsword while he closed his eyes and mouth silently.

In an instant, it felt as though there were echoes of thunder from the distant sky.

Afterward, the sound of thunder grew closer and louder, while limitless energy started to accumulate and intensified.

Finally, the sounds of thunder felt like it was right above their heads, and it was deafening. It echoed in the depths of the heart, and it was truly shocking.

“Boom...” A bundle of blazing flames suddenly appeared above Dugu Fengwu’s head.

“Swish...” The flames abruptly shot towards the ground and hovered half a feet above the surface of the ground, but it was still blazing intensively.

Subsequently, there was a second bundle, third bundle, fourth bundle...

A countless number of flames descended from the sky and landed around Dugu Fengwu. The final bundle of flame formed a ring of fire which completely surrounded Dugu Fengwu.

Someone had recognized this mystic skill.

This was an earth-grade high-class mystic skill, Hell’s Ring!

Compared to Sword Shadow Rainbow and Merciful and Sorrow Hands, the Hell’s Ring was a mystic skill which was one class superior.

Right now, the blazing ring of fire that surrounded Dugu Fengwu was the Hell’s Ring.

This Hell’s Ring possessed an incomparably horrific temperature, and it was getting hotter and warmer. Finally, everything within this ring would be completely burned into ashes, even the air would be exhausted, and the space within this ring would be violently squeezed.

Finally, the victim inside the ring of fire would explode into smithereens, transforming into a giant blazing flame.

To be honest, the mystic skill wasn’t as breathtaking as the first two mystic skills, but it was extremely wicked and vicious, especially after Dugu Fengwu stated the rules that they had to stay in place and must not shift their bodies.

Then, could this vicious Hell’s Ring even be neutralized?

It could be neutralized, and there were plenty of mystic skills that could neutralize it. But most of them were meant for the yin type mystic meridians. Especially those ice attribute mystic skills which were of earth-grade, they could all be used to neutralize the Hell’s Ring.

But Dugu Fengwu just had to possess the Meridians of Splendid Flames!

Therefore, there was no way for her to neutralize the Hell’s Ring!

Perhaps, she could only look on as she got turned into ashes and explode into smithereens.

Right now, everyone had a dull expression on their faces. This Qin Huaiyu might look cultured and refined, but his moves were so vicious. He actually used such a wicked mystic skill on an absolute beauty and wanted to kill her.

“Lady Gongsun, as long as you say that you admit defeat, I shall dispel this Hell’s Ring,” said Qin Huaiyu.

Dugu Fengwu responded with indifference!

“Bang... Bang... Bang...”

The stage couldn’t endure the horrific flames and was gradually disintegrating.

Yang Dingtian’s heart was burning anxiously. Would Dugu Fengwu just be burned into ashes like this, or would she admit defeat?

“You are made of fire, so am I. Young Lord Qin, your Hell’s Ring is indeed very vicious, and there is no way to neutralize it.” Dugu Fengwu said in a cold voice, “But that is for others! If it were someone else, even if they had a higher cultivation class than me, they wouldn’t be able to avoid the horrible fate of being burned into ashes. But your opponent is me, and destroying your Hell’s Ring is like a child’s play to me!”

As soon as Dugu Fengwu said it, she opened her petite mouth and slowly spat out a blue-colored flame.

It was a very weak, but a very beautiful flame.

This weak little flame abruptly rushed at the Hell’s Ring, like egg towards a rock, like a flying bird crashing into a boulder. There was only one result, which was a horrible death.

When this blue flame rushed into the intense flames of the Hell’s Ring, it instantly revealed a malevolent face and violently consumed all the flames.

“Huff Huff Huff Huff...” In just a split moment, the dreadful flames of the Hell’s Ring had been completely consumed without any remains.

That beautiful blue flame then turned into a bundle of black flame. Yang Dingtian had never seen black flames, but now that he saw it, it was strangely terrifying.

Qin Huaiyu’s face drastically altered as he said, “Void Flame Consuming Art?”

“That’s right.” Dugu Fengwu said indifferently, “It just happens to counter your Hell’s Ring.”

Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu said, “Right now, it is my turn. If you come out unscathed after this move, then I shall admit my defeat.”

Her statement was filled with absolute resolution!

Qin Huaiyu’s expression turned grave, as he fully concentrated his mind and waited for Dugu Fengwu’s horrifying attack.

Everyone was waiting with expectation, as that horrifying Hell’s Ring could even damage Dugu Fengwu. After hearing her resolute tone, everyone was looking forward to what terrifying mystic skill she was going to use.

“Mystic Soul Guide...” As Dugu Fengwu’s voice clearly sounded out, she started to swirl with rapid speed. It wasn’t those twirls like a dance, but a most ordinary spin, and she was getting faster!

Everyone was disappointed!

Everyone thought that “Third Lady Gongsun” would execute a rare mystic skill that no one had ever seen, but she actually used such a common mystic skill like the Mystic Soul Guide.

That’s right; the Mystic Soul Guide was the most ordinary and common mystic skill from the streets. One could purchase it anywhere for less than 50 gold coins.

As long as one reached the rank of the Great Mystic Martial Master, they could simply learn this mystic skill.

Up until now, Yang Dingtian had never seen anyone use this worthless street mystic skill because it was too ordinary, and it wasn’t just a waste of mystic skill, but extremely humiliating.

This mystic skill contained the least amount of skill and the least wonder. It had a very simple principle, which was to rotate rapidly while wielding a sword. The practitioner simply had to rotate quickly and gather mystic qi at the same time. Once the speed was so fast that it was out of control, the practitioner just had to throw out their gathered mystic qi.

During that instant, the entire spirit soul would be flung out together with the mystic qi, due to the powerful centrifugal force, causing a phantom to exit the body and thrust at the enemy. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Of course, this phantom was completely formed with mystic qi, but it looked exactly like the practitioner. Thus, the reason why this mystic skill was called Mystic Soul Guide.

In theory, as long as one could rotate fast enough, the mystic qi phantom that was shot out would possess almost the same amount of strength as the practitioner. It would be equivalent to using one’s own body to attack the enemy. It was like having a clone that would not suffer any form of damage.

Naturally, that was only in theory. In fact, everyone who desperately rotated with extreme speed but was only able to throw out a phantom that had less than a tenth of the practitioner’s strength.

Looking at how fast Dugu Fengwu was rotating with increasing speed, everyone had this disappointed expression, only Qin Huaiyu’s face had changed.

Soon enough, everyone felt something strange because Dugu Fengwu had rotated so fast that her figure couldn’t be seen, and she had turned into a pink shadow.

Immediately after, the pink shadow had completely vanished, and Dugu Fengwu’s rotating body had turned transparent. It was as though she turned invisible.

“Bang Bang Bang...” On the solid stage, layers of giant rocks cracked and spiraled upwards, which were immediately ripped into dust.

The surface of the ground, which were a dozen meters around Dugu Fengwu, seemed as though countless blades had slashed across, causing the layers of cracks.

“Bang...” There was a sonic boom that was caused by the supersonic speed.

A beautiful and magnificent figure was sent towards Qin Huaiyu, which was wielding a chilling blade.

Mystic Soul Guide!

Qin Huaiyu had an astonished expression as he suddenly bent down, stabbed his sword into the ground, and arched his back up.

“Roar...” There was a loud beast roar.

A ferocious tiger which was formed by flames, burst out from Qin Huaiyu’s body and rushed at Dugu Fengwu’s phantom.

“Crash...” There was a loud sound, followed by a burst of radiance.

The flaming tiger had crashed with Dugu Fengwu’s phantom.

Flames scattered out as the flaming tiger was broke into pieces.

While Dugu Fengwu’s phantom had been shattered.

“Swish...” The shattered phantom continued to rush at Qin Huaiyu and entered his body.

“Pfff...” Qin Huaiyu burst out with fresh blood as his body backed over a dozen meters and reached the edge of the stage.

“Cling...” Qin Huaiyu vigorously stabbed his sword into the surface of the ground and stopped the momentum so that he wouldn’t fall off the stage.

He slowly stood up and wiped off the fresh blood on the corner of his mouth and said, “Lady Gongsun is truly incredible!”

Everyone was astonished. They never expected an ordinary mystic skill actually to produce such power when used by Third Lady Gongsun. She said that she was going to injure Qin Huaiyu, and she actually did it.

Immediately after, Qin Huaiyu said, “Next, Lady Gongsun will also receive a Mystic Soul Guide from me. If I cannot defeat Lady Gongsun with this move, then it shall be my defeat!”

Everyone was shocked by this declaration!

Earlier, Third Lady Gongsun simply said that she was going to injure Qin Huaiyu, and she ultimately did it.

Right now, Qin Huaiyu actually claimed that he was going to defeat her in a single move. Where did he get such confidence? In order to defeat Dugu Fengwu, he had to force her out of the stage or kill her.

Either method was going to be extremely difficult, right?

But when Dugu Fengwu heard this declaration, her expression instantly turned grave.

She understood what Qin Huaiyu said. For this Mystic Soul Guide, Qin Huaiyu was going to pour in all of his mystic qi without any reserve. If he still couldn’t defeat her in this move, wouldn’t it be the same as admitting defeat?

“Swish...” Qin Huaiyu started to rotate.

Faster and faster.

He had turned into an afterimage.

Subsequently, he turned into a transparent shadow.

Similar to Dugu Fengwu, countless blades violently slashed the surrounding surface of the ground.

But it still didn’t end yet!

Everyone was appalled when they discovered that everything surrounding Qin Huaiyu started to turn dark.

It was as though the rapidly rotating Qin Huaiyu had consumed the light, which was within a few feet from him.

It was getting darker and darker! Only Qin Huaiyu’s body was extremely bright.

Yang Dingtian could sense a dangerous qi presence, and so did Dugu Fengwu.

Extremely powerful energy had been accumulated to the limit.

“Bang...!” There was a loud sound!

The darkness surrounding Qin Huaiyu had been ripped apart.

Subsequently, a dark shadow left Qin Huaiyu and burst towards Dugu Fengwu with lightning speed.

This was Qin Huaiyu’s Mystic Soul Guide, a dreadful Mystic Soul Guide.

Dugu Fengwu’s delicate body floated up while she violently thrust with her sharp sword.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish...” The sword lights were like a rainstorm of flowers, which were swiftly shot at Qin Huaiyu’s Mystic Soul Guide. They quickly tore at this bundle of dreadful black shadow.

Inches of the condensed black shadow was being torn apart and was getting lighter and thinner.

One had to use the lowest classed method to deal with the lowest class of mystic skill, like the Mystic Soul Guide. One could use mystic skill and block like Qin Huaiyu, or use martial prowess to destroy like Dugu Fengwu.

Dugu Fengwu gathered all her spirit and used it to shred the Mystic Soul Guide in front of her.

This was a test of extremely sword execution speed and mystic qi intensity.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish...” Finally, Dugu Fengwu’s sword had turned into a bundle of shadow, as it rapidly thurst towards the Mystic Soul Guide’s head and was going to rip it apart.

Right at this moment, Dugu Fengwu’s delicate body suddenly shuddered, while her face turned pale.

“Ahh...” There was a delicate scream while her petite mouth spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Her delicate body abruptly flew dozens of feet back and out of the stage, flying towards Yang Dingtian’s direction.

Yang Dingtian extended his arms.

“Bang...” A tender and fragrant body crashed hard into his embrace, causing him to nearly vomit a mouthful of fresh blood due to the impact.

“I won,” Qin Huaiyu spoke indifferently as he landed on his toes and sat back down at his own seat, as though he had done nothing special.

Everyone gasped with surprise as no one believed it when Qin Huaiyu said that he was going to defeat Third Lady Gongsun. No one expected him to really do it and send Third Lady Gongsun out of the stage.

*************

Right at this moment, Dugu Fengwu, who was in Yang Dingtian’s embrace, was icy cold, and her mouth was flowing with bright red blood.

“What happened? Weren’t you going to destroy his Mystic Soul Guide? Even if you couldn’t destroy it, you shouldn’t be sent flying out of the stage, right?” Yang Dingtian asked softly.

“Isn’t it all because of you?” Dugu Fengwu replied with anger, “That disgusting moment came again.”

“What moment?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Dugu Fengwu responded, “The moment where I instantly lose all my mystic qi happened again.”

“Ah...” Yang Dingtian was astonished. That moment when Dugu Fengwu was powerless had happened again. Furthermore, it happened right at the most crucial moment and caused her defeat.

“Don’t be too happy now.” Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, “Indeed, I am currently powerless and unable to deal with you for now. But, I am unable to protect you either, and it is your turn next. Now it isn’t the matter of winning the contest and obtaining the Mystic Fire Devil hammer. It is whether you can keep your measly life. Do you think that vicious Qin Jiaojiao would let you go?”

Yang Dingtian instantly felt a slight chill in his heart!

That’s right, Dugu Fengwu had temporarily lost all her mystic and was unable to control Yang Dingtian, but she wasn’t able to protect him either, which meant that Yang Dingtian was going to face this group of vicious wolves by himself.

Qin Jiaojiao couldn’t hold herself back and leaped onto the stage and drew her sword. She pointed at Yang Dingtian and scoffed. “Legendary Nameless. Your lover has lost, and it is your turn now.”

Immediately after, she revealed a strange and cruel smile and said, “Don’t worry. I will not be merciful, and you shall receive the result that you deserve. I will expose your true identity and let you taste my fury in front of everyone here!”
