Chapter 973: Chapter 58: So What If I Kill You? (First Update)

"This arrangement suits me well."

Mu Qingge’s calm and indifferent demeanor made Yan Quan’s face suddenly darken, becoming very unpleasant.

He couldn’t understand where Mu Qingge got the courage to say such things in front of him? It’s simply being unaware of the heights of the heavens and depths of the earth!

"Do you think you can defeat me by quickly finishing without consuming too much Divine Power and Divine Sense? Don’t forget, I haven’t consumed much either! Even if there were more of you, it wouldn’t bridge the gap between us!" Yan Quan coldly said to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly, forming a stark contrast with Yan Quan’s ferocious and wild appearance.

"Try it and you will know," Mu Qingge said calmly.

This further enraged Yan Quan.

He even had a feeling that ever since he arrived at Zhong Shan Domain and met Mu Qingge, he was very unlucky. First, under the pressure from Li Chao, he had no choice but to make Ji Lun lower his head and admit his mistakes.

Later, on the Dao Platform, his carefully crafted plan, the plan to collectively enhance the strength of Zhuoyu Domain’s disciples, fell through because of Mu Qingge, and he was even reprimanded by the domain elders.

In this round of the competition, Mu Qingge actually became the first to claim a spot right under his nose. This kind of humiliating disgrace made him eager to kill Mu Qingge.

And now?

Now the two of them stood on the arena, finally having the opportunity to fight it out.

However, the person who should be afraid of him and terrified of him was facing him so calmly, showing no signs of the imagined trepidation and fear.

Try it?

Yan Quan started to laugh.

His smile was somewhat grotesque and cold. As he drew out a long sword, he said to Mu Qingge, "Since you can’t wait to be harshly tortured by me, I won’t be polite anymore."

While speaking, the Power of Laws around him stirred, and the scorching Fire Element Law began to gather around him, like a sea of flames, causing the arena to almost melt.

Yan Quan gripped the sword hilt with both hands, the sword’s tip pointing at Mu Qingge. The originally bright and sharp blade was slowly turning the color of fire, appearing as if flames flowed within it.

Li Chao looked unhappy, as he knew better than Mu Qingge how terrifying Yan Quan was.

If he were to fight with all his might, he’d be a complete lunatic!

Yet, Yu Lv was calm, gazing at both Yan Quan and Mu Qingge, then turning to Li Chao with a smile, "Li Chao, brother, shall we begin too?"

Li Chao frowned, feeling helpless, could only silently pray for Mu Qingge’s well-being, hoping she remembered his prior warning to concede if she couldn’t withstand the fight.

Taking two steps back, Li Chao finally focused his eyes on Yu Lv across from him.

The arena was large; previously two hundred people fought on it without feeling crowded, let alone now with just four people fighting.

Li Chao and Yu Lv retreated to another side, both sides conducting their battles without interference.

Yan Quan immediately utilized the Power of Laws, ready to use techniques, and Yu Lv was not to be outdone, surrounding the ground he stood on with circles of suspended wind; he effortlessly drew upon the Wind Law.

Li Chao gathered his expression, his gaze turned serious. A layer of virtualized Golden Armor appeared outside of him, with the Gold Law manifesting likewise around him.

...

"I remember, you have a Wood Spirit Root," Yan Quan sneered, looking somewhat gloating at Mu Qingge.

On the previous arena, the Power of Laws and techniques Mu Qingge used were all Wood Element, clearly indicating she was a Wood Spirit Root holder.

And his Fire Spirit Root is essentially the nemesis of the Wood Spirit Root, isn’t it?

No matter how many vines she conjures, he only needs a fire to burn everything cleanly.

Yan Quan’s demeanor made Mu Qingge’s mouth slightly curve upwards, without a reply.

Her stance was misunderstood by Yan Quan as approval.

Suddenly, his mood brightened. He lifted the long sword in his hand high, a glimmer of madness flashing in his eyes, as both hands slashed down the sword fiercely. He shouted, "Fire Bath Heaven—!"

Immediately, around him, the Fire Element Power of Laws carried an extremely scorching aura, rolling toward Mu Qingge like a tidal wave.

One wave after another, one surge after another, the momentum was terrifying.

The Fire Element Power of Laws, with its rampant factor, constantly tormented, tearing at the arena, melting it to a degree.

"What a powerful Fire Element Law!"

"This Fire Bath Heaven is notoriously difficult, enormously powerful, and highly destructive among the Spirit Cave Realm Sixth Layer techniques of Zhuoyu Domain. Unexpectedly, Yan Quan has cultivated it to such a degree! And he wields it so skillfully. It seems that Mu Sang-Shao from Huan Yue Domain is in for a tough time."

"Indeed, isn’t Mu Sang-Shao from Huan Yue Domain a Wood Element? Meeting a Fire Element is truly like being unable to take a step forward. Moreover, Yan Quan has commenced with such a grand move, seemingly hoping to settle the fight in one strike."

"Under such a grand move, even you and I would struggle to resist, not to mention Mu Sang-Shao, who is three realms lower than Yan Quan?"

The spectators murmured among themselves.

They were all rooting for Yan Quan and doubting Mu Qingge’s capabilities.

The tone of the discussion was not worrying for Mu Qingge but rather ironic and entertaining in jest.

Yet, at the edge of the arena, no one from Huan Yue Domain showed excessive concern. Unlike others, they knew that Mu Qingge wasn’t just a Wood Element... no, she wasn’t merely Wood Element.

Someone who shared the same thinking as Huan Yue Domain’s people was undoubtedly Si Mo.

On the ring, Yan Quan, using such a powerful move against the person he cares for deeply, already made his gaze turn cold. If not for knowing that Mu Qingge disliked his interference, how could Yan Quan be so arrogant at this moment?

Moreover, his confidence came from the Fire Element Law.

His little Qingge...

Si Mo’s lips curled slightly, a hint of expectation rising faintly in his eyes.

He also really enjoyed watching his little Qingge play the fool to catch a tiger; it was truly adorable and never tiresome!

Bang——!

The scorching, violent Fire Element Law, like a red whirlwind, like waves of fire, engulfed Mu Qingge’s figure.

Mu Qingge stood still, seemingly petrified, disappearing before everyone’s eyes just like that.

Ah!

Everyone was in an uproar, this didn’t seem to match the intense battle they had anticipated.

But the disciples from the Zhuoyu Domain excitedly cheered, praising Yan Quan.

"The Eldest Young Master is impressive! The Eldest Young Master is mighty!"

"The Eldest Young Master can crush a jumping clown with just a finger movement, truly incredible!"

"Truly a model for my generation!"

"How dare a little ant like him act so arrogantly!"

’Dead?’ On the Ice Lotus, the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan looked at the overwhelming firelight on the ring, smiling with great amusement.

Below the ring, the disciples from the Huan Yue Domain, along with Zhuang Shan, Xuan Qiang and others, became tense. Mu Qingge indeed possessed a Fire Spirit Root, but faced with such a strong Fire Technique, whether she could protect herself was uncertain.

The flames kept burning.

These flames, rootless and boundless, were transformed from the Power of Laws, incomparable to mere Mortal Fire.

Under the firelight, Yan Quan’s features were hard to discern, sinister and terrifying. His eyes crazily watched the burning flames. He was certain that Mu Qingge had already been burned to ashes by the Fire Element Law power he summoned.

As for not being able to kill during the duel...

Hmph!

Yan Quan sneered in his heart. ’By then, I would just tell the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan that I didn’t know he was so weak, thought he could withstand it, hence my mishap. Would the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan really trouble me over a dead person?’

He had calculated everything well, considering it all.

Yet, when the Fire Element Law power receded, he froze, a kind of indescribable horror bursting forth in his eyes.

No! Impossible!

Looking at Mu Qingge, standing there unscathed, Yan Quan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

It wasn’t just him, except for Si Mo, everyone was shocked. The half-closed eyes of the Divine Emperor Zhong Shan slowly opened, a trace of surprise and astonishment appearing in the ice-blue pupils.

And Si Mo, upon seeing Mu Qingge standing there safely, the curve of his lips grew even more joyful. He knew his little Qingge was about to start.

"Impossible! How are you unharmed?" Yan Quan exclaimed in shock.

As if Mu Qingge’s intact condition had deeply provoked him, making it unacceptable.

Indeed! Impossible, how could a Divine with a Wood Spirit Root be unscathed under Yan Quan’s move?

This curiosity wasn’t just with Yan Quan, but everyone unaware of Mu Qingge’s abilities.

Mu Qingge nodded slightly, speaking indifferently: "Just now, Yan Quan’s move was indeed impressive; taking a life would be instantaneous."

Her words dimmed the light in Yan Quan’s eyes. ’Is he mocking?’ he thought.

Mu Qingge looked at him playfully, continuing: "This Fire Bath Heaven move intrigued me greatly, so I pretended to learn it. I hope Brother Yan Quan won’t mind giving me some pointers."

After speaking, her gaze deepened. In the transparency of her eyes, red surged. The Power of Fire Element Laws swept up again, but this time it surrounded Mu Qingge instead of Yan Quan.

"Fire Element! She’s not Wood Element; she’s Fire Element! No wonder she’s not afraid of Fire Bath Heaven!"

"No, no, no! She’s both Fire Element and Wood Element! She has Dual Spirit Roots!"

Cries of astonishment rose one after another.

Previously, the more they underestimated Mu Qingge, the more shocked they were at this moment.

Earlier, on the ring, Mu Qingge discreetly used Electric Spark amidst the fray, unnoticed by anyone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t just be shocked by her Dual Spirit Roots, but her Three Spirit Roots.

"Fire——Bath——Heaven!" Mu Qingge’s lips curled with a cold smile, her gaze icy as she looked at Yan Quan, calling out the name of the technique word by word.

"Fire Bath Heaven! It’s also Fire Bath Heaven! Isn’t that the Zhuoyu Domain’s magic?"

The crowd was shocked again.

Yan Quan’s eyes widened, filled with shock, as the overwhelming flames surged towards him.

In an instant, the flames, just like before when they engulfed Mu Qingge, swallowed him entirely. The towering firelight illuminated and enclosed everything around...
