Chapter 725: Chapter 385: Liu Su vs. Cheng Qingyu
"What the hell!"
"Even the judge is captivated by the beauty!"
"Damn, has Qiu Zhihe arrived or not?"
The referee’s words resonated with all the cultivators present, and even many mortals were discussing enthusiastically, extremely interested in Qiu Zhihe, the mysterious second most beautiful woman in the world.
Some cultivators even boldly ran up to Zhou Ling’Er, Xiaowu, and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, and asked the three:
"Fellow Daoists, do you know Qiu Zhihe?"
Someone even spoke to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, who had transformed into the Phoenix Bird Beast: "Bird, oh bird, you are Qin Gengyun’s mount. Do you know where your mistress is?"
"Coo, coo!!"
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was furious and started pecking at these people wildly, driving them all away.
Zhou Ling’Er pulled Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, are you okay?"
Yun Wu shook her head: "Ling’Er sister, I’m fine."
Zhou Ling’Er said softly: "These lechers are terrifying. They are going crazy over the second most beautiful woman. If the first most beautiful woman, Yun Wu, were to come, wouldn’t they explode the entire West Imperial City?"
Yun Wu’s face turned pale: "Ling’Er sister, would it really be that terrifying?"
"Of course, Xiaowu, you don’t understand how frightening these lechers can be when they go crazy. Several of them were staring wildly around me just now!"
Zhou Ling’Er crossed her arms, looking distressed.
Yun Wu was frightened: "Then I absolutely cannot let others find me."
Zhou Ling’Er glanced at Yun Wu and said tactfully: "Xiaowu, actually, you’re still pretty safe, haha."
"In the fourth match of the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, twelve into six, Cheng Qingyu of Qinghe City versus He Su of Zhenyang Sect!"
While everyone was discussing Qiu Zhihe, the referee’s voice sounded, drawing the audience’s attention back.
"It’s that ruthless female cultivator who uses black flames!"
Many people vividly remembered Cheng Qingyu’s brutal performance yesterday.
From the first round, Cheng Qingyu had burned every opponent she encountered to ashes, extremely cruel.
Her use of black flames was bizarre, and even cultivators with similar cultivation could not withstand it.
Thus, from the fourth round onward, all of Cheng Qingyu’s opponents voluntarily forfeited, no one dared to engage in magical combat with her.
It can be said that, aside from Xu Caihe advancing through luck, Cheng Qingyu’s advancement path was the easiest.
Seeing her take the stage at this moment, many felt a sense of trepidation.
Their gazes towards Liu Su were filled with sympathy.
"Isn’t this the woman with Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan?"
"This woman looks ordinary, she’s probably no match for Cheng Qingyu, better to surrender!"
"Indeed, Cheng Qingyu’s black flame is too fierce and bizarre, there’s no need to lose one’s life here."
"This female cultivator should know Qiu Zhihe too, right? Better not die."
At this moment, Liu Su’s playful smile was gone. From the moment she heard "Cheng Qingyu," her face no longer had a trace of amusement.
Instead, it was replaced by cold eyes and chilling murderous intent.
She slowly made her way to the battle platform, where Cheng Qingyu was already standing, looking at Liu Su with a disdainful sneer:
"So you’re the first one to come seeking death. Rest assured, after I kill you, I’ll slaughter all of your group, including Su Xin. That day on Cyan Lotus Mountain, she dared to strike at me because of you."
"However, what awaits Su Xin is a torment worse than death. Compared to her, you’re quite lucky to die so swiftly."
Liu Su suddenly interrupted Cheng Qingyu: "Did you kill Little Ape?"
Cheng Qingyu frowned: "What Little Ape? Facing death, you’re still rambling!"
Liu Su said sternly: "That day, the Three Great Sects ambushed Cyan Lotus Mountain, and you killed countless women and children. Among them was a child named Little Ape, burned alive by you, hung on the house’s beam!"
During the South Demon visit, Liu Su and Qiu Zhihe returned to Cyan Lotus Mountain, only to see the mountain littered with corpses.
Many of them were women and children without cultivation.
Liu Su saw a charred corpse hung on the beam, wearing a jade pendant.
Liu Su recognized the small corpse as a child named Ape, who was born to a disciple of Cyan Lotus Sect and a village woman at the foot of the mountain.
Little Ape had grown up on Cyan Lotus Mountain, had an affinity with Liu Su, and they were like siblings.
The jade pendant on Little Ape was a gift from Liu Su on his sixth birthday.
Liu Su still remembered the bright and innocent smile on the child’s face when she gave him the pendant.
Yet, Liu Su never imagined that upon their next meeting, that lively and adorable child would have become a cold corpse.
Cheng Qingyu suddenly laughed: "Now that you mention it, I do recall. At the time, there was indeed a little beast with no cultivation that dared to try biting me. I stabbed it to death with a sword and hung it on the door beam, burning it along with the other bodies."
"So, do you know him?"
Black flames gradually ignited around Cheng Qingyu, even her eyes burned with black flames, her voice turned icy:
"Are you truly a remnant of the Demon Sect?"
"Then killing you is doing justice, hehehe!"
"Indeed, you’re the one who killed Little Ape!"
Liu Su clenched her fists tightly, her spiritual power erupted from her body, her hair fluttered, and sleeves billowed. She stared intently at Cheng Qingyu, speaking each word aloud:
"Today, I will avenge Little Ape!"
"Nascent Soul Second-Layer?" Cheng Qingyu squinted her eyes and then laughed out loud:
"With such cultivation, you dare to act arrogant in front of me?"
Her spirit power surged as well, quickly revealing her cultivation.
"Nascent Soul Third-Layer!"
"Cheng Qingyu has reached Nascent Soul Third-Layer!"
"He Su’s cultivation is a layer lower, and Cheng Qingyu has black flames as well!"
"He Su is doomed!"
"It’s a pity, though her looks can’t compare to Mo Xiaolan, she’s also graceful and charming. To die like this truly is heaven’s envy of beauty!"
"What were they talking about earlier? Cheng Qingyu seemed to mention the Demon Sect?"
Many in the gallery felt regretful for Liu Su, believing she was undoubtedly going to die.
Suddenly, Cheng Qingyu burst forth with towering black flames, casually waving a single hand, the black flames swept towards Liu Su!
The black flames were extremely bizarre, seemingly cold but wherever they reached, it seemed even the space was about to ignite.
"This flame is somewhat similar to Qin Gengyun’s Divine Phoenix Flame just now!"
"No, it’s much more fierce than the Divine Phoenix Flame!"
"He Su is certainly doomed!"
Amid exclamations of surprise, a strange scene suddenly appeared before Liu Su.
The space abruptly collapsed, a black hole appeared suddenly, drawing in and engulfing the black flames.
The black hole then vanished, and the black flames disappeared along with it, as if they had never appeared.
"What kind of magical artifact is this?!"
"It’s not an artifact, it seems to be some kind of cultivation technique?"
"Should be an array, right?"
The spectators were all bewildered, having no clue what had just transpired.
Cheng Qingyu’s pupils constricted: "Space manipulation?"
"Impossible! Only those in the Divinity Transformation Realm can wield such power. How can a mere Nascent Soul Second-Layer possess this?"
Cheng Qingyu’s expression turned cold, she waved her hands out, a massive black flame transformed into a Phoenix Bird and rushed towards He Su!
