Chapter 668: 668 - A worthy battle! (02)
"Yes... this is a worthy battle!"
Bai Hu Lie’s roar echoed as his massive body, battered by Qingyi’s punches, smashed through the mansion’s final wall alongside the phoenix’s body.
The creature weighed tons, but against the physical strength of the two, it seemed as light as a feather.
The phoenix let out a pitiful scream as its body crashed through the thick trees, branches splintering on impact.
It had already lived for hundreds of thousands of years, all in peace. It only killed annoying visitors from time to time, without ever actively pursuing them.
In the end, it could only let out a final grunt before succumbing to its injuries.
Without its Qi to heal itself and without a constitution as powerful as that of those two monsters, there was no chance of resisting.
Normally, its soul would have escaped the body, but the secret realm kept it trapped, since it was nothing more than a beast placed there to be extracted by the sect’s disciples.
Bai Hu Lie, honestly, wasn’t much better off than she was, but with his terrifying constitution, his body quickly healed.
The tears in his hide closed up while his jaw, reduced to dust, snapped back into place with a dry crack.
As long as his meridians weren’t damaged, he would hardly die from physical injuries.
"I say the same. You’re the first opponent to push my constitution to the limit." Qingyi laughed, stretching before preparing his fist again.
The two exchanged a firm glance, and in the next moment, their bodies vanished.
Xue Hua, who had moved to watch the fight more closely alongside Rou’er, couldn’t hide her shock at the sight of the phoenix’s corpse.
It was obvious they hadn’t even fought the creature. It died merely from the collateral damage of those two’s clash!
Xue Hua had always heard her father speak of the terror of beast experts, but seeing it with her own eyes was quite different.
When the bodies of those two vanished, she didn’t hesitate. She grabbed Rou’er and retreated as fast and as far as possible.
Even without her Qi, she was still a cultivator of the Celestial Ascension Realm, and when she used all her strength, she could propel herself at an inhumanly fast speed.
The moment she moved away, the world around her changed.
Dozens of explosions ripped through the void. The entire land shook, as if it were about to end, a victim of a power too thunderous to be human.
In the blink of an eye, the ground split open into a deep crater. Each clash between Qingyi and Bai Hu Lie caused more and more destruction, shockwaves tearing through the air with every collision.
Only after thirty seconds and more than two hundred collisions did the two stop, panting.
Their stamina was already exhausted, but their faces bore confident, excited smiles.
They were locked in a stalemate where neither could gain the upper hand over the other.
In other words, that fight would be decided by whoever made the first mistake.
"What did Longwei give you to kill me? He must be in despair knowing that it’ll be you who dies today, hahaha." Qingyi said, planting his feet firmly on the ground, ready for another round.
"Ah... nothing much, brother-in-law, just some silly things from my race, hahaha." Bai Hu Lie roared with laughter, watching Qingyi’s expression change.
Brother-in-law? Why brother-in-law?
They were enemies in the midst of a battle to the death. Was Bai Hu Lie joking about taking Qingyi’s sister?
The confusion on the handsome young man’s face only grew.
"Brother Long Qingyi, I’ll say this just once: marry my beautiful little sister and become my brother-in-law!" Bai Hu Lie declared arrogantly, puffing out his chest.
"Bai Hu Lie," Qingyi shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don’t mean to offend you, but..." Looking at the tiger’s beastly face, he shuddered. "I think it’s best not to."
Bai Hu Lie was, after all, more of a bipedal tiger than a human, with a snout and a face dominated by beastly features.
His body and musculature were his only human features, and he didn’t even have hair like humans; his body was covered in thick white fur.
"Oh... I understand your concern, Brother Qingyi. Humans really do have terrible taste in women, but don’t worry, my little sister’s blood is far less pure than mine. She doesn’t even have fur on her body!"
Just as Qingyi was about to reply, Rou’er’s voice rang out behind him.
"Oh... is big brother Qingyi going to take sister Bai? I’ve already accompanied my adoptive father to the Myriad Beasts Sect and seen her. The number of great beauties in our region is only three instead of four because she hasn’t been revealed to the world yet!"
Looking at the pink-haired beauty approaching with a bright gaze, he sighed.
"Brother Bai Hu Lie, I know the next Celestial North’s Great Sects Divine Tournament will be held at your sect, right? I’ll meet her there, and we can discuss this further." Qingyi didn’t reject Bai Hu Lie’s proposal, though he hadn’t accepted it either.
If an incomparable beauty were being served right to him on a platter, who was he to refuse her?
He just hoped she possessed the trait of faithful.
Among ordinary women, he had noticed that this trait was present in about three to four percent of them, but among great experts, the percentage reached twenty percent.
As for her beauty, he trusted Rou’er.
That petite beauty was even more useful than Chen Wei, since she not only knew all the great beauties in the region but was also friends with many of them.
"Should we end our battle?" Qingyi asked.
"Nah, that was enough. I want to fight you with all my strength in the tournament; only then will I be satisfied, hahaha." Bai Hu Lie chuckled.
"Do you have anything to drink there? I’m dying of thirst." The tiger leaped over the crater separating them, landing right in front of Qingyi.
The handsome young man didn’t hesitate to open the system shop, buying a huge barrel of liquor and handing it to Bai Hu Lie.
Before anyone there had a chance to question the origin of that barrel, since spatial rings were limited to storing items only, a loud shout echoed.
"UNACCEPTABLE!"
