Chapter 751: Chapter 750: The Hell Three-headed Dog is Enraged! The Clash of Water and Fire
When the dust and smoke finally settled.
The Cultivators in the corner, who had been awaiting their deaths, had a sudden realization.
It wasn’t Gu Yuexi who was insane.
It was...
Themselves!!!
Gu Yuexi stood her ground, sword in hand. Her posture was ramrod straight, her white robes were purer than snow, and she was completely unscathed. She hadn’t moved an inch.
As for the Hell Three-headed Dog’s right paw...
It had been cleanly severed at the wrist by Gu Yuexi’s sword!
The massive paw slammed onto the ground with a THUD.
Scalding blood gushed out, sizzling as it hit the high-temperature ground.
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, even the bone sliced through neatly, as if by the sharpest of divine weapons.
The entire cavern fell deathly silent in an instant.
The Cultivators in the corner gaped, dumbfounded, not daring to even breathe.
One strike...
Had severed the paw of a Void Refinement Realm Hell Three-headed Dog???
What kind of bullshit is this!!!
No matter how much they refused to believe it.
The facts were right before their eyes.
In the first direct clash between the Hell Three-headed Dog and Gu Yuexi.
The Hell Three-headed Dog.
Was utterly defeated!!!
"AWOOO—"
After a brief moment of shock.
The Hell Three-headed Dog threw back its heads and let out a deafening, furious roar.
Its three heads twisted simultaneously, their faces contorted with pain and rage.
Pain!
So much pain!
But even more unbearable was the humiliation.
A tiny human Cultivator at the Profound Understanding Realm, insignificant as an ant, had actually cut off its paw!
Even if this was just a minor clone, a trifle to its main body.
To the Hell Three-headed Dog, this was an unforgivable disgrace!
"Damn you, human! This lord will obliterate your Divine Soul and scatter your bones to the wind!"
The Hell Three-headed Dog was no longer in a playful, mocking mood.
The expressions on its three heads turned grim and vicious, their eyes filled with killing intent.
It was getting serious!
"BOOM!!!"
The Hell Three-headed Dog’s central head lunged forward. A deep rumble emanated from its throat as it once again spewed a dense ball of black flame.
This ball of flame was far more concentrated than the previous fan-shaped spray.
Like a black serpent of fire, it shrieked and roared as it charged toward Gu Yuexi.
Before the flames even arrived, the searing sensation of a burning Divine Soul washed over her.
"We’re screwed!"
Seeing this, the few surviving Cultivators in the corner shook their heads in resignation.
"Although that Female Cultivator cutting off the Hell Three-headed Dog’s paw was beyond our expectations,"
"this is as far as she goes."
"The Hell Three-headed Dog’s black flames can burn the soul directly."
"To resist it, you can only use your Divine Soul Power to brute-force it."
"That Female Cultivator is only at the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm. How strong could her Divine Soul possibly be?"
"There’s no way she can withstand it!"
"If even a speck of that black flame touches her, it will cling to her like an inescapable poison."
"Bit by bit, it will burn her soul to ashes."
"That must be agonizing. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl."
"I’d rather not die like that. A quick death from a single swipe of its paw would be better."
The few surviving Cultivators chattered amongst themselves.
Once again, they had sentenced Gu Yuexi to death.
The Cultivator who had kindly warned Gu Yuexi before shook his head and sighed.
"If she had just listened to us and run when she was still far from the Hell Three-headed Dog, she might have had a chance to escape."
The others nodded in agreement.
They were all in consensus: Gu Yuexi was too arrogant.
She should have taken their advice and run.
Even if she couldn’t get away, at least her body would have been left intact.
But no, she had to act tough, and now she was about to have her Divine Soul completely annihilated.
The surviving Cultivators shook their heads, their gazes fixed on Gu Yuexi.
They were waiting for her to be completely consumed by the Hell Three-headed Dog’s flames.
The Hell Three-headed Dog thought so, too.
Its black flame was an Origin Divine Soul Flame, capable of directly burning a soul.
Gu Yuexi was merely at the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm, her Divine Soul pitifully weak.
Before its Divine Soul Flame, she had practically no means of resistance.
It was like someone playing an "Attack" card against you when you didn’t even have a "Dodge" card in your hand.
No matter how good the rest of your hand was, all you could do was stare blankly and wait for death.
Facing a situation that everyone believed was certain death,
Gu Yuexi’s expression remained serene.
She simply raised her left hand, a faint blue light glowing at her fingertips.
The Law of Water surged, forming a translucent blue water Shield in front of her, blocking the path of the black flame.
"What is she doing?"
Seeing Gu Yuexi’s move, the surviving Cultivators were completely bewildered.
"Is she seriously trying to use the Law of Water to resist the Hell Three-headed Dog’s black flames?"
"She doesn’t think that’s just some ordinary fire, does she?"
"How can water extinguish a fire that can even burn the Divine Soul?"
"A Profound Understanding Realm cultivator’s Power of Law is at the Emperor Domain Level at best. How could she possibly block a Divine Domain Level Flame Law?!"
"What’s more, the Hell Three-headed Dog’s black flame is unique; it comes with Divine Soul corrosion."
"Even a Divine Domain Level Law of Water couldn’t block it easily!"
"Did that woman get so full of herself after severing one paw that she’s forgotten her place?"
Just as the surviving Cultivators were shaking their heads and mocking Gu Yuexi’s ignorance and arrogance,
the Hell Three-headed Dog’s black flame slammed viciously into Gu Yuexi’s water shield.
The collision of water and fire is always the most direct.
Either the fire is extinguished by the water,
or the water is evaporated by the fire.
Everyone assumed,
that in the next second, the water shield would be instantly burned through by the black fire, which would then land on Gu Yuexi.
But this time,
the result once again defied everyone’s expectations.
With a soft HISS, like a red-hot piece of iron being plunged into cold water,
the black flame and the blue water shield,
vanished at the very moment of contact!
They dissipated into nothing, without so much as a ripple of an aftershock spreading out.
"How... How is that possible?!!"
The surviving Cultivators’ eyes widened, unable to believe the scene before them.
"Her Law of Water actually blocked the Hell Three-headed Dog’s black flame!"
"A Divine Soul Flame that even a Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm expert couldn’t block... a cultivator at the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm actually blocked it!"
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"
Cultivator after Cultivator cried out in amazement, their voices filled with pure shock.
In the crowd, only one Cultivator, a specialist in the Law of Water, remained silent.
He stared intently in Gu Yuexi’s direction without blinking, as if he had just witnessed an unbelievable miracle.
After a long moment,
the focus slowly returned to his vacant eyes.
He gave a bitter laugh, his tone a mixture of self-mockery and shock.
"She didn’t just ’block’ it."
Hearing this, the other Cultivators turned to look at him, their faces full of confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"She used the full power of her Law of Water to form a Shield and blocked the Hell Three-headed Dog’s Divine Soul Flame, which no one else could block."
"We saw it with our own eyes. Isn’t that what happened?"
"Yeah! It’s not like she could have faked it, right?"
Someone even made a little joke.
But the Cultivator who specialized in the Law of Water couldn’t laugh at all.
He shook his head and sighed.
"That Female Cultivator didn’t use her full power at all."
"She precisely gauged the power of the black flame."
"Then, she perfectly deployed just enough of the Law of Water to extinguish it."
"Not a bit more, not a bit less. A perfect cancellation."
"That level of control over the Law of Water..."
"I’ve only ever seen it in Celestial God Realm experts, and only those who specialize in cultivating the Law of Water."
