398 Chapter 398: Zhu Zhuqing v/s Luo Ying [2]
...
Zhu Zhuqing and Luo Ying!
Zeng Yi, sitting in the spectator stands, looked at the two figures on the fighting stage with a slightly solemn expression.
Although Zhu Zhuqing had accepted his guidance and her strength had greatly improved compared to the original story, she was now very powerful and could stand on her own. However, Zeng Yi still didn't think she could win against Luo Ying.
The difference between them was just too great. Leaving aside Luo Ying's previously demonstrated formidable battle power, there was a two-level gap in their spirit power.
But then again, hadn't Zhu Zhuqing shown her full strength yet?
Zeng Yi suddenly realized this issue.
Before the matches with Shrek, the opponents they encountered were all weak, and she mostly stayed in stealth mode. Apart from the match against the Star Luo Imperial Academy, which made Zhu Zhuqing take it seriously, the deciding factor there was not her, but the seven-in-one fusion skill used by Tang San, which shattered the opponent's martial spirit fusion skill, Hell White Tiger.
Since Zhu Zhuqing had taken the Immortal Herb, her strength had greatly increased. During the time she advanced to Spirit Ancestor, Zeng Yi hadn't sparred with her and couldn't ascertain her limits.
But this time, he should be able to see the limit of Xiao Zhu's combat strength as a Spirit Ancestor.
"Why so worried?" Qian Renxue, sitting beside Zeng Yi, glanced at him with a smile on her face, her eyes flickering with an interesting curve.
She knew that both of these women on the stage had some relationship with Zeng Yi, and watching them fight made her feel so satisfied.
If they knew that Zeng Yi was sitting right next to her, watching them fight, she wondered how they would feel.
It's quite interesting to watch the tigers fight from my vantage point!
"What are you laughing at?" Zeng Yi glanced at Qian Renxue, who had an unbeatable smile on her face, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Qian Renxue replied casually, "Shouldn't I feel happy and excited to see such a thrilling fight? Should I put on a mournful face?"
"You're right."
Zeng Yi couldn't refute her, but he still felt that this woman seemed to be secretly happy and enjoying herself.
On the side of Shrek, the crowd looked at the two girls facing each other on the stage, their eyes filled with tension.
In terms of a solo battle, Zhu Zhuqing, including Tang San who couldn't use hidden weapons, was practically the strongest individual in the team. If she couldn't defeat her opponent, then Luo Ying's strength was truly unimaginable.
You must know that according to the information they had, Luo Ying was only fifteen years old! Only a year older than the youngest among them.
With such strength, they were considered monsters in the academy, surpassing the geniuses. But even among these geniuses, no matter how gifted they were, a few more years of spirit power cultivation time was hard to make up for. Their Spirit Ancestor level strength at this age was all due to the boost from the Immortal Herb brought back by Tang San.
However, the girl standing on the stage, similar in age to them, had higher spirit power and strength than them.
If they were monsters, what was she?
Now, the two girls standing on the stage were both extraordinarily beautiful, each with her own unique style. Their fight ignited the excitement of the entire audience even before it started, with everyone shouting loudly.
Moreover, both of them were extremely powerful female spirit masters. Even among all the participants in the tournament, there were very few males who could compare to them.
Considering that male spirit masters usually held the dominant position in the spirit master world, this was quite rare.
With their extraordinary talent, as long as there were no unforeseen circumstances, they would surely become two outstanding female Titled Douluo in the future.
It was a rare sight to witness the battle between two future female Titled Douluo in their youth!
Luo Ying squinted her eyes and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a coquettish smile on her face. "I didn't expect it to be you who would come up first, but it's just right. You are my main target! It saves me the trouble."
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, her eyes wary of this woman in front of her. She was very strong, so she couldn't afford to have the slightest negligence.
"What kind of sweet words did you use to hook up with my brother? But it doesn't matter; I will take everything back with my own hands." Luo Ying said, her smile fading away, her expression turning cold. She opened her narrow eyes and stared directly at the woman in front of her, the eyes flickering with a chilly killing intent.
Without releasing her spirit power, just the intense killing intent emanating in the surroundings gradually lowered the temperature.
Her voice wasn't loud but neither was it soft. Even the referee, who stood on the stage, heard it.
It seemed like something extraordinary was happening.
Could these two women be rivals in love?
Even before the match was announced, the fighting spirit between the two could be felt on the fighting stage, creating an atmosphere where water and fire couldn't coexist. The overwhelming scent of gunpowder was ready to ignite the battle.
As the spectators' gaze swept over the two girls, the referee also felt immense pressure and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Match begins!"
He announced loudly to the whole arena and immediately left the fighting stage to avoid being affected by the battle.
At the moment the referee declared the start, two different spirit powers soared into the sky from the fighting stage.
On the left side, a brilliant and dazzling star-like spirit power, mysterious, profound, carrying a sharp determination, just like a divine sword hidden within the stars, exuding a fierce and cold aura.
On the right side, an equally impressive pink spirit power scattered gracefully in the air, delicate and beautiful, unintentionally attracting and captivating everyone's attention. However, within those small pink petals, extreme danger lurked.
Their spirit rings unfolded, Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, both with the optimal configuration of four rings. The spirit rings surrounded the graceful figures of the two girls, radiating splendid radiance.
The blooming spirit power fluctuations created a violent spirit power storm on the stage, sweeping through one-fourth of the area. The two different spirit powers occupied each side, standing intently against each other.
Zhu Zhuqing's hand revealed a slender and delicate sword resembling starlight. She tightly grasped the handle, pointing the sword at Luo Ying, and a cold voice emerged from her lips.
"Zhu Zhuqing, a Spirit Ancestor Level 43, please enlighten me!"
Facing Zhu Zhuqing's traditional pre-battle greeting, Luo Ying smiled dismissively and reached out a hand towards her.
"Die!"
Snap!
With the cold and ruthless voice, a crisp snapping sound echoed on the fighting stage. At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, which had turned into star-like pupils, rapidly constricted!
In an instant, the countless flying cherry blossoms seemed to receive some kind of instruction and froze in mid-air. Then, like bullets, they shot towards Zhu Zhuqing's direction, as if in revolt.
The battle began in an instant!
Boom boom boom~
Numerous flower petals shot out like a volley of arrows, madly bombarding the spot where Zhu Zhuqing stood, launching a relentless and destructive attack against her.
Soon, the powerful barrage of petals enveloped the position, causing a thick smoke, making it impossible to see what was happening inside!
Whoosh~
Just as the people from Shrek anxiously awaited, a figure swiftly dashed out of the dense fog.
Zhu Zhuqing tightly gripped the handle of her sword. Dazzling light gleamed in her eyes as she stared intently at her opponent. The sword, thin as cicada wings, radiated a star-like brilliance, sharp and cold, revealing a sword intent crisscrossing the surroundings.
An intense killing intent permeated the air.
Like a nimble elf, the graceful figure moved swiftly, the sword cutting through the air and slashing through the airflow, leaving a tail of flame. That beautiful posture was akin to a shooting star crossing the arena.
[Sword technique - Shadow Flash!]
Clang~
The trembling clash of swords resounded throughout the arena.
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at the woman in front of her.
Her attack was blocked?
What was even more surprising was that she wasn't expecting Luo Ying to also wield a long sword!
Although Zhu Zhuqing's attack was blocked by Luo Ying's long sword, her powerful sword strike, carrying terrifying force and a sharp intent, managed to cut open a wound on her fair cheek, allowing red blood to slowly trickle out.
At the moment they clashed, Zhu Zhuqing felt a strong killing intent, and her body instantly tensed up. This was the breath of death.
She wanted to retreat and create distance between herself and this woman.
But in the time it took for her to react, Luo Ying acted even faster.
With just one hand holding the long sword to block Zhu Zhuqing's attack, Luo Ying freed her other hand, gathering spirit power in her palm. Countless pink cherry blossoms converged and formed a sharp sword.
Luo Ying's crimson eyes met Zhu Zhuqing's star-like eyes, flickering with scarlet light.
At this moment, a sinister smile curved on her lips, stretching her mouth in a sinister curve, revealing a chilling smile.
The sword in her hand made a turn and swiped upward!
Whoosh~
With a breaking sound, the splendid blood blossomed in the air!
Hoo~
Zhu Zhuqing had already distanced herself ten meters away from Luo Ying, her expression gravely fixed on the woman in front of her, a puff of white breath escaping her mouth.
This person was terrifying, far exceeding her imagination.
Moreover, that move, forming swords by condensing petals, Zhu Zhuqing felt like she had seen it before, from Zeng Yi.
The difference was that this woman used cherry blossoms, while Zeng Yi used bamboo leaves.
Fresh blood dripped onto the stone slab.
In front of Zhu Zhuqing, her chest was slashed open, a cut in her clothes. Blood was spilling out.
Fortunately, she evaded it quickly; otherwise, that strike could have taken her life.
Zhu Zhuqing stared at the person in front of her, her eyes narrowed.
This person really intended to kill!
