The purple phoenix flapped its wings, lunging directly at Xiao Qilin.
It was so enormous that its sheer size seemed capable of crushing Xiao Qilin into a pulp.
This move was called Phoenix Heavenly Descent, not a power of the Heavenly Phoenix, but a top-tier spiritual skill gifted by the Divine Doctor Sect to Su Qiannai.
Yet, facing such an oppressive attack, Xiao Qilin showed no fear. Instead, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
The moment the phoenix neared his body, a gray light flickered on the sword.
Immediately, he slashed at the phoenix with his sword, and a gray arc of light shot out, fiercely colliding with the phoenix!
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the purple phoenix exploded!
At this moment, Su Qiannai's expression drastically changed, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
She retreated two steps, her face turning pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Purple mist enveloped Xiao Qilin, and when the mist dissipated, everyone saw Xiao Qilin standing unharmed in his original spot, showing no signs of injury.
He mockingly chuckled, "How about it? My Soul Severing Slash, not bad in power, right?"
Soul Severing Slash was the second-ranked spiritual skill in the Divine Doctor Sect, even surpassing Dong Weiqi's Piercing Dragon Cyclone Storm.
This move, though seemingly unadorned, contained immense destructive power, capable of shattering Su Qiannai's attack in a single blow.
Su Qiannai's expression turned grim.
She knew Xiao Qilin would be difficult to deal with, but she hadn't anticipated he would be this strong, capable of crushing her so easily.
Seeing her silence, Xiao Qilin grew even more smug and said, "Su Qiannai, now you should finally know how far away you are from me, right?"
"Normally, when you disrespected me, I didn't deal with you because we are in the Divine Doctor Realm, and rules bound me."
"Otherwise, do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
Su Qiannai's pretty face turned cold as she said, "And then what? What are you trying to say? Do you think I'll be afraid of you now?"
"If that's the case, then you're underestimating me too much, aren't you?"
Xiao Qilin grinned sinisterly, "Underestimating you? No, no, no, I never underestimated you."
"After all, you are the inheritor of the Heavenly Phoenix. Who would dare not take you seriously?"
"However, as I've told you, I will be the inheritor of the Sacred Dragon. No matter how powerful your Heavenly Phoenix is, it's no match for the Sacred Dragon, is it?"
Seeing Xiao Qilin spout such words again, Su Qiannai became enraged.
She said grimly, "I'll tell you one more time, don't say such things in front of me."
"The Sacred Dragon inheritor wouldn't be like you, and you are utterly unworthy!"
As her sharp cry escaped, powerful energy erupted from Su Qiannai's body.
And within her, a piercing phoenix cry echoed!
This phoenix cry was so noble, as if it were the empress of the world.
Su Qiannai's eyes lit up with purple light, and a fierce pressure immediately spread outwards.
Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly, as he felt a reaction from the Sacred Dragon power within him when Su Qiannai unleashed her strength.
This meant that what Su Qiannai was using at this moment was the power of the Heavenly Phoenix!
Xiao Qilin also paused for a moment.
But he showed no fear, instead continuing to smile and say, "What, getting anxious already?"
"But you don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you've unleashed the Heavenly Phoenix's power, do you?"
After speaking, Xiao Qilin's eyes widened slightly.
Immediately, the figure of a massive demonic tiger flashed behind him.
A sense of pressure also erupted from him, though it was considerably weaker than the Heavenly Phoenix's pressure.
This was Xiao Qilin's first-level inheritance, from the ancient overlord spirit beast, the Heavenly Demonic Tiger.
Xiao Qilin smiled and said, "Su Qiannai, I know the Heavenly Phoenix's power is immense, but unfortunately, you haven't stepped into the Immortal Realm yet, so you can't truly unleash it, can you?"
"But it's different for me. I've already reached the state of spiritual energy saturation, so I can already touch the power of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger."
"Under these circumstances, even if you release the aura of the Heavenly Phoenix, what good will it do?"
"What you're doing is merely superficial, it amounts to nothing."
"You talk too much," Su Qiannai said coldly.
Xiao Qilin continued to smile, appraising Su Qiannai's shapely figure, and said, "Alright, I'll stop talking. Is it okay if I just make my move then?"
"It's just a shame that such a beautiful woman like you is about to be crippled by me. It's truly a pity, in a way."
Xiao Qilin's gaze turned sinister.
Between his hands, gray spiritual energy began to burn like flames.
Seeing this, Su Qiannai's expression became solemn.
Because she knew what Xiao Qilin was about to do.
And with this move, it meant Xiao Qilin intended to end their confrontation once and for all.
Although Su Qiannai spoke disrespectfully to Xiao Qilin, she still felt nervous in her heart.
She dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately began to gather her spiritual energy.
A gray spherical wave of light began to appear around Xiao Qilin, and soon, a purple spherical wave of light expanded from Su Qiannai's body.
Then, judging by the size of the spherical light waves, Su Qiannai's energy was inferior to Xiao Qilin's, the gap being quite significant.
Indeed, without being able to truly wield the power of the Heavenly Phoenix, Su Qiannai was ultimately no match for Xiao Qilin.
Su Qiannai knew all of this, yet her beautiful eyes were still filled with stubbornness and depth, showing no intention of retreating.
As the energy they were gathering grew heavier, the entire competition arena began to tremble slightly, as if a minor earthquake had occurred.
Xiao Qilin grinned and said, "Su Qiannai, I can give you one last chance. Are you convinced or not!"
"If you continue to be stubborn with me, then you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Su Qiannai offered no response.
She continued to gather energy, seemingly determined to go all out.
Xiao Qilin believed he had been merciful enough, but he hadn't expected Su Qiannai to maintain such an attitude, completely disregarding him.
Therefore, he couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Su Qiannai.
He was indeed lustful for Su Qiannai's body, but since she refused to be used by him, he would simply destroy her!
A ruthless thought surfaced in his mind, and then, Xiao Qilin let out a loud roar:
"You ungrateful wretch, then die for me!"
"Heavenly Fire Shockwave!"
