The two parties landed with ease. The blue-clothed girl’s gaze was calm and cautious. Her previous weapon, the Mu Ming Sword, was broken, and now she didn’t even have a defensive magical artifact! Apart from the little cat on her shoulder that had been sleeping all along…
“To have come this far, I must say, you are truly lucky! However, your journey ends here!”
Qiao Qianshan looked at the girl before him with utter disdain! To cultivators, appearance was merely fleeting, and Jin Bao’er’s beauty was useless! For her to have reached his level of cultivation at only a little over ten years old was indeed a testament to her talent.
Jin Bao’er looked at him, a hint of melancholy in her expression.
“Are all Beast Tamers this confident and arrogant? You’re so sure you’ll win before we even start fighting!”
At this moment, Yun Mo Linglong, standing in the audience section of the Beast Taming Sect,’s face darkened. She turned to look at a disciple beside her.
“Hey… is she talking about me? Am I that arrogant? Huh?”
Her sudden exclamation startled the disciple so much he dared not remain seated! Waaah… Senior Sister is so scary today!
On the stage, Qiao Qianshan’s expression turned grim after being subtly taunted.
“Today, Senior Brother will teach you what it truly means to have heavens beyond heavens!”
As he spoke, he immediately summoned a yellow tiger without any hesitation, seemingly unwilling to waste any more time!
The man and the tiger charged forward, exuding immense danger! Jin Bao’er’s expression was grave as she narrowly dodged the beast’s claws, only to meet the long sword in Qiao Qianshan’s hand…
The sheer speed of their initial engagement made everyone hold their breath! They watched them intently.
The girl extended a finger, lightly grasping the sword’s body. Using the momentum from her body’s rotation, she directly broke free from the pincer attack of the man and the beast, easily countering the combo that had defeated Chu Fan in the previous match!
Qiao Qianshan paused for a moment, his eyes showing a flicker of surprise. They had used this move on many opponents, and it was the first time someone had slipped through so effortlessly. And the girl before him had only seen this move once…
“You’re quite clever! You found the weakness so quickly!”
The crowd below the stage was also astonished. It was that simple? But Chu Fan’s strength was not ordinary; he had clearly been trapped and unable to escape back then. Yet Jin Bao’er had broken through that predicament after seeing it only once?
Instantly! A thunderous applause erupted, and everyone looked at the dust-free figure on stage with excitement. Yun Mo Linglong, disregarding all pretense, shouted towards the stage…
“Jin Bao’er~ Well done! Keep fighting! We absolutely cannot lose this match, go kick his ass!”
This caused the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect’s face to darken completely! He wished he could kick this lunatic down on the spot!
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect blushed deeply, mortified. Senior Sister! You weren’t like this before!!
These disturbances, however, were perceived as blatant provocation by Qiao Qianshan. His face immediately contorted with displeasure.
“Chi Hu! Full power! I’m going to toy with her.”
“Roar!!”
Responding to him was Chi Hu’s majestic roar! The aura of a late-stage Golden Core demonic beast instantly erupted…
Some disciples were almost blown away, but thankfully their sect leader waved his hand to disperse the force!
Jin Bao’er also had to brace herself, protecting her body with spiritual energy! Her expression became even more solemn. Facing a late-stage Golden Core beast and a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, a direct confrontation was likely impossible!
In an instant, Chi Hu charged forward with immense momentum, its late-stage Golden Core pressure locking onto her entire being, seemingly intending to suppress her movements with its aura. Meanwhile, on the other side, Qiao Qianshan condensed spiritual energy to form a fiery phoenix that was entirely crimson…
The faint power of a divine beast emanating from it caused all the contracted beasts present to tremble. Simultaneously, it woke up the little white cat on Jin Bao’er’s shoulder!
“Boom!”
As a blinding, colossal light flashed across the entire arena, the power brought waves of heat wherever it reached. Jin Bao’er’s expression changed! There was almost no stable ground to stand on. At the same time, Chi Hu descended from the sky, its sharp claws slashing fiercely at Jin Bao’er!
“Screeech!”
The light blue magical robe was torn by three gashes, and blood quickly seeped out, followed by a sharp pain spreading through her.
The Sky-Ascending Talisman almost went out of control, but thankfully she reacted in time, thus avoiding collapse!
The coordination between a late-stage Golden Core demonic beast and a cultivator was indeed not a simple sum of one plus one!
Jin Bao’er’s face quickly turned pale, but her eyes held an astonishing light…
Before the man and the beast could launch their next得意 attack, the battered girl suspended in mid-air fixed them with a cold, sharp gaze. Her small face was covered in frost, and she spoke with thin lips, “Absolute Zero!”
The next moment, an overwhelming chill emanated from her, rapidly spreading to the entire arena, freezing the intense heat with absolute control…
Even those in the audience stands and the seats of other sects could clearly feel the bone-chilling cold. For a time, many Nascent Soul stage great cultivators couldn’t help but show expressions of astonishment.
Is Jin Bao’er… really only at the Golden Core stage?
After landing, Chi Hu’s limbs were instantly frozen in ice, and the ice was rapidly creeping upwards. No matter how much he struggled and roared, his feet remained immobile…
Qiao Qianshan snapped back to reality and quickly threw a fireball, attempting to break the ice seal. However!
“Thud…”
Everyone watched as the fireball collided with the ice seal, making a light *thump* before bouncing straight off. The ice surface… remained unchanged!
Seizing the opportunity, Jin Bao’er rapidly condensed an ice sword and sent it flying straight towards Qiao Qianshan. The two engaged swiftly. Without Chi Hu’s assistance, Qiao Qianshan could only pit spiritual energy against spiritual energy!
Unfortunately, Jin Bao’er was a cultivator of both body and technique, possessing formidable strength! He was forced to retreat repeatedly, his entire arm aching to the point of numbness, making it almost difficult to even grip his sword.
“Chi Hu!”
With a furious roar! The yellow tiger, whose limbs were tightly bound, seemed to sense its master was in danger. It let out a furious roar towards the sky, its aura surging and bursting forth, forcibly breaking free from its restraints…
The moment Jin Bao’er heard the roar, she felt a dangerous aura behind her. She quickly retreated to the side. Simultaneously, Chi Hu’s claws landed where she had been moments before, narrowly missing her!
“Pfft!”
With a muffled thud, Jin Bao’er stumbled backward, barely able to stand. Her eyes were watchful as she regarded the man and the beast. Blood stained her lips, her face alarmingly pale, and blood from her shoulder dripped down her arm, slowly falling onto the ice and quickly freezing…
Only she herself knew how surprised she was at this moment!
Even though Chi Hu’s claws had not touched her, the mere aura from its sharp claws had injured her, revealing the depth of its concern and anxiety…
How could a cultivator and a demonic beast care for each other so much?
It was a shame that her Golden Phoenix had not yet awakened, and she didn’t know the intentions of the white cat on her shoulder. If this continued, her stamina and spiritual energy would be too depleted, and she would still lose.
At the same time, the man and the beast opposite her adjusted their combat strategy…
Chi Hu, with its powerful physique, pressed closer and closer to Jin Bao’er, while Qiao Qianshan intermittently launched sneak attacks with fireballs, making it impossible for her to defend effectively!
