Su Xi also did not want to waste time and walked onto the high platform for the duel.
The five great immortal mountains had long known that there would be disputes among so many disciples. Therefore, to reasonably control the harm, they had specially built many high platforms for duels to resolve their grievances.
These platforms were not only made of special materials that could control the damage of two combatants. Moreover, once two people started to duel, a barrier would form to prevent others from interfering with the match.
When Huan Jie saw Su Xi walk onto the stage, he also walked onto the stage amid a deafening roar from below the platform, waving his hand as if he were already a victor.
In the hearts of others, this match was also considered a sure win. Thus, they flattered Huan Jie incessantly.
As the two walked onto the stage, a white light shield quickly formed on the platform, enveloping them and isolating them from everything outside.
Seeing that the match had begun, Huan Jie did not hesitate and took out a cauldron from his person.
The cauldron was only the size of a palm, intricately carved with dragon and phoenix motifs. As soon as it was revealed, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries.
"Go." Huan Jie tossed the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron in his hands towards Su Xi's head.
After spinning in the air, the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron instantly enlarged. From its mouth, the spectral figures of a dragon and a phoenix flew out.
As soon as the dragon and phoenix apparitions appeared, they unleashed a crushing pressure that swept outwards in all directions.
The people around the high platform, despite being protected by the barrier, were forced back several steps by this powerful pressure before they could stop, their faces filled with lingering fear.
They could not imagine what would happen if they had faced the dragon and phoenix apparitions themselves.
When Huan Jie saw the dragon and phoenix apparitions appear, his face wore a smug expression.
The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was his treasure for refining pills. Not only could it melt anything in the world, but it also contained a trace of dragon and phoenix bloodline, allowing it to directly extract the bloodline of all cultivators.
Dealing with a small fry like Su Xi would be effortless, a matter of minutes.
The dragon and phoenix coiled together in the air, emitting a pressure not of this world, continuously radiating outwards, as if ready to destroy everything in existence.
Others looked towards Su Xi, expecting to see her begging for mercy in a pathetic state.
However, to everyone's surprise, Su Xi was completely unaffected by this intense pressure. She stood calmly on the high platform, a dismissive smile on her face.
Su Xi had initially expected Huan Jie's grand display to involve some formidable technique. But to her disappointment, it had no effect whatsoever.
Huan Jie, seeing that Su Xi was unaffected by the dragon and phoenix pressure, was filled with disbelief, thinking she was merely putting on a brave front.
Therefore, he paid no mind and continued to urge the dragon and phoenix apparitions above his head to attack Su Xi.
Since the bloodline could not suppress Su Xi, he decided to take more direct action to ensure she had no chance of recovery. After all, the power difference between humans and divine beasts was incomparable.
"Roar~"
The dragon and phoenix apparitions let out a roar in the air and charged towards Su Xi.
Under the divine might of the dragon and phoenix apparitions, although Su Xi was not suppressed by bloodline, the spiritual energy in her body was sealed, rendering her immobile. She could only watch helplessly as the dragon and phoenix apparitions charged towards her.
Such immense power was certainly not something a mortal could withstand.
"Die."
Huan Jie looked at Su Xi with a triumphant smile, believing that everything was over.
But in the next moment, the smile on his face instantly froze, and his eyeballs nearly popped out.
(o_o)??
His divine beast apparitions not only failed to attack Su Xi, but they circled around her like puppies, as if trying to please their master.
(ΩДΩ).
He strongly suspected he was dreaming to encounter such an absurd situation.
Su Xi gently touched the dragon and phoenix apparitions beside her, understanding that it was all due to the divine beast core within her body. After all, the core possessed a genuine divine beast bloodline, while the apparitions were merely a trace of that bloodline, naturally daring not to act presumptuously in her presence.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Xi waved her hand and absorbed the dragon and phoenix apparitions into her body.
The sudden turn of events on the stage made the onlookers almost drop to their knees and sing praises of conquest.
Was this a duel or a dog show?
The scene was utterly unbelievable.
Having subdued the dragon and phoenix apparitions, Su Xi naturally did not hold back.
Giving the enemy an opening was a grave military mistake.
Simultaneously, Su Xi's "burning firewood stick" instantly appeared, and a beam of blue and red light shot towards Huan Jie.
Caught off guard by the suddenness of the event, Huan Jie did not react in time and was instantly frozen into a block of ice.
Although Huan Jie was not seriously harmed by the freezing, he was temporarily immobilized.
Seeing Huan Jie encased in ice, Su Xi swiftly unleashed her "interstellar gun," firing a powerful energy beam towards him.
She would not let such an opportunity pass.
However, since Huan Jie had already reached the Golden Core stage, he would not be easily controlled.
At the critical moment, he broke free from the ice and regained his mobility.
Seizing this chance, he also launched a fierce counterattack.
A stream of fire enveloped Su Xi.
Cultivators at the Golden Core stage certainly possessed more than a few tricks up their sleeves.
Instantly, Su Xi was surrounded by flames, with all escape routes sealed off. Facing the blazing inferno, Huan Jie clearly had no intention of giving her any chance to escape.
In the face of the flames, Su Xi drew her "burning firewood stick" in an arc before her.
A wave of frost rapidly spread before her, instantly forming an ice wall.
Unfortunately, this ice wall offered no resistance. Upon brief contact with the flames, it instantly melted into a puddle of water scattered on the ground.
Su Xi watched the approaching flames, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
Huan Jie's flames seemed to be no ordinary matter.
If she were to be touched by them, she would undoubtedly turn to ash.
Indeed, opponents at the Golden Core stage were not easy to deal with.
At this moment of life and death, Su Xi decided not to hold back and threw a frost talisman.
Huan Jie, seeing Su Xi use a talisman, sneered. His flame contained Samadhi True Fire, and no ordinary object could block it. Even a level three talisman would be powerless against his Samadhi True Fire.
The disparity in cultivation between him and Su Xi could not be bridged by ordinary means.
The flames intensified, bathing the surroundings in heat.
The onlookers, witnessing Huan Jie wield Samadhi True Fire, were filled with excitement.
With Samadhi True Fire in play, Su Xi would soon be reduced to ashes and disappear from the world.
"Break."
Su Xi instantly detonated the talisman, and a wave of extreme cold spread outwards, turning the nearby Samadhi True Fire into ice.
Furthermore, the cold did not stop, continuously spreading outwards.
Huan Jie's eyes widened as he saw Su Xi's frost talisman, his expression once again filled with disbelief.
Even if Su Xi had used a level four talisman, it should not possess such immense power to block his Samadhi True Fire.
"What are you using?" Huan Jie looked at Su Xi, wanting to understand the truth.
Su Xi smiled at Huan Jie and said, "What does a dead man need to know so much for?"
Huan Jie scoffed upon hearing Su Xi's words, "Such a powerful talisman, I absolutely refuse to believe you have the ability to cast it again."
Having lived for so many years, he knew very well that the more powerful a technique, the more spiritual energy it required. Su Xi's methods were indeed formidable, but her limited cultivation meant she absolutely did not have enough spiritual energy to sustain them.
As long as he could endure, Su Xi would ultimately be a lamb to the slaughter. At that time, he would not only kill Su Xi but also uncover the secrets of the talisman she used.
