Qiao Ziying and Huo Mei 'er looked at each other, then nodded.
In order to cooperate better in the Imperial Capital, everyone needed to know more about each other's strength. They were the main force of the Heavenly Mandate Manor in the Imperial Capital, so they needed to know more about each other.
"In the third round, after the strongest is eliminated, the other three will be selected to form a team to participate in the team battle. So, either Qiao Ziying or Mei 'er will be eliminated."
Chihuo walked to Man Xin and said with a smile, "But no matter who is eliminated, Man Zi, it seems that one of us has to fight. As for who will fight, let's decide the winner later. What do you think?"
"That's exactly what I want."
Man Xin grinned.
He missed Chihuo a lot. Now that Chihuo had returned and reached the Two Divine Realms like him, he had long wanted to spar with Chihuo.
However, before that, the two of them wanted to see the extent of Long Yu's current strength.
Man Xin had been fighting with Qiao Ziying these days, so he knew very well how strong she was. Qiao Ziying, who had reached the Six Divine Realms, was no longer someone Man Xin could deal with.
Chi Huo also understood Huo Mei 'er's strength very well. He wanted to see how Long Yu would be able to spar with her with just three Divine Ability Realm cultivation.
In fact, Chihuo was quite confident in himself now. Even if he faced an ordinary cultivator in the Five Divine Realms, he could hold on for a while and even defeat some weaker ones.
In Chihuo's opinion, Long Yu was only in the Three Divine Realms. Even if he fought with Chihuo, he might not gain any advantage.
But Chihuo knew Huo Mei 'er's strength very well.
Huo Mei 'er had comprehended the complete Divine Characters of the Fire attribute. Plus, she had a Desolation Level Upper Grade Weapon. Even if she faced some cultivators in the Seven Divine Realms, she would be able to defeat them.
To put it simply, Chihuo was not optimistic about the fight between Long Yu and Huo Mei 'er. But since Long Yu had brought it up, he would certainly watch carefully.
"Hong Yue, ask the others to leave the Martial Arts Practice Field for now. I don't want to reveal the true strength of the Heavenly Mandate Manor."
Long Yu ordered Hongyue.
It wasn't that he wanted to keep it a secret from the others in the Heavenly Mandate Manor. It was just that this was a gamble, and it was worth at least 100,000 Divine Coins!
It was important to note that the grand event in the Imperial Capital had yet to begin. There was still room for change in all the bets. If news of his true strength were to spread and everyone placed their bets on the Heavenly Mandate Manor, then he would not be able to make much profit.
Hong Yue agreed and called away all the irrelevant people in the field.
It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but with regards to the strength of Long Yu and the others, it would be useless even if they knew about it.
The members of the Heavenly Mandate Manor who were called away were not angry. After all, all their cultivation resources were given by Long Yu. If Long Yu asked them to leave temporarily, they would not dare to refuse.
However, everyone would have new speculations about Long Yu's true strength. This was for sure. How strong was Long Yu?
No one would be able to guess it!
…
In the martial arts arena, Long Yu and Qiao Ziying stood facing each other. The others were watching from the side.
However, there were only a few people watching. Only Chihuo, Huo Mei 'er, Hong Yue, Nanmen Yingxia, and Man Xin were watching the arena with anticipation.
"Ziying, do it."
Long Yu chuckled and said to Qiao Ziying.
Qiao Ziying had seen Long Yu's strength. She saw with her own eyes how Long Yu held back dozens of beasts from the Secret Land of the King's Path when countless beasts of the Wood God Clan rushed out, causing those beasts to be killed by the martial arts cultivators of the Jianghu!
Therefore, Qiao Ziying did not underestimate Long Yu at all.
In reality, even if it was an expert who had reached the Seven Daos Transcendent realm, if they were to underestimate Long Yu, they could be killed by him in a single strike.
The reason why he sparred with Qiao Ziying first was because Long Yu did not want to take advantage of Huo Mei 'er — he wanted to know Huo Mei's full strength.
After seeing his sparring with Qiao Ziying, Huo Mei 'er would definitely know Long Yu's true strength. Then, she would fight with Long Yu in her peak condition.
"I'm going."
Qiao Ziying was ten zhang away from Long Yu. She smiled and raised her hand. A wave of water divine character power swept out, roaring towards Long Yu like a huge wave!
Water divine character was an elemental divine character power. Its characteristics could be violent or gentle. It depended on the type of innate ability the person comprehended.
Qiao Ziying's first innate ability was called Water Prison. It could bind the opponent, and its effect was very obvious.
However, it was clearly useless against Long Yu.
"Nether Shadow Escape!"
Facing Qiao Ziying's Water Prison, Long Yu immediately used a derivative skill of Nine Underworld Heavenly Light, Nether Shadow Escape. His whole body turned into a black stream of light and instantly appeared behind Qiao Ziying.
"Nether Dragon Nine Explosions, Evil Thought Explosion!"
Long Yu punched at Qiao Ziying's back. Because it was only a sparring match, he did not use his strongest Heaven Underworld Explosion. However, even if it was just Evil Thought Explosion, it was enough to deal with Qiao Ziying.
With this punch from Long Yu, the Nine Underworld divine characters spread out at an extremely fast speed, gradually covering Qiao Ziying's body.
The Nine Underworld divine characters stirred up the evil thoughts in her heart, and she was about to explode at this moment. However, Qiao Ziying reacted at the fastest speed. Water divine characters surrounded her body.
"Innate ability, Water Purification!"
Qiao Ziying used another innate ability, and immediately, all the Nine Underworld divine characters were expelled from her body. She even disintegrated and purified them into ashes.
Long Yu's Nether Dragon Nine Explosions died in her abdomen, and before it could explode, it was eliminated. This surprised Long Yu. He did not expect Qiao Ziying to have such a mystique.
Moreover, looking at the way Qiao Ziying used this move just now, it seemed that the water purification could be used on others. In other words, if Long Yu was trapped by the opponent's sacred art during the team battle, Qiao Ziying would be able to release him in an instant.
This was a godly skill!
Long Yu finally understood why Qiao Ziying was able to become an important member of the Broken Tooth Party. Just this Water Purification skill alone was enough to make her role in the team undeniable.
"Again, Nine Underworld Dragon Breath."
Long Yu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he did not stop attacking.
As soon as Qiao Ziying removed Long Yu's Evil Thought Explosion, Long Yu's body was enveloped by the power of the Nine Underworld divine characters. His eyes shone with the light of the Nine Underworld.
"Dragon Breath, break!"
Long Yu spewed out the Nine Underworld Dragon Breath, which condensed into a pitch-black pillar of light, and attacked Qiao Ziying!
This Nine Underworld Dragon Breath was only a level three beginner level mystique, but its power was stronger than the Evil Thought Explosion. It was even comparable to the strongest move of the Nine Underworld Dragon Nine Explosions, the Heaven Underworld Explosion.
However, the biggest weakness of this skill was that the attack only had one direction, and it could be easily dodged …
Clearly, Qiao Ziying saw the weakness of this skill of Long Yu's.
"The best defense is offense!"
Qiao Ziying knew that she could not keep defending like this. Therefore, her eyes flashed, and she came up with a strategy immediately. Facing Long Yu's Nine Underworld Dragon Breath, Qiao Ziying dodged it directly!
Her body turned into a stream of water, and she jumped away very quickly. This was a Heaven-grade body movement technique that she had cultivated. For martial arts practitioners in the Jianghu, a Heaven-grade body movement technique was quite good.
"Mystique, Water Burial in the Sky!"
Qiao Ziying turned into a stream of water, and she dodged Long Yu's Nine Underworld Dragon Breath. She raised her hand and condensed a whirlpool of water, which surged toward Long Yu.
This Innate Mystique was extremely fast. When Qiao Ziying first came to the Heavenly Mandate Manor, she used this same skill to repel all her subordinates from the Chenyang Mansion.
If it was used to deal with only one person, the lethality of this skill would be extremely terrifying!
The Water Burial in the Sky was the Innate Mystique that Qiao Ziying had the deepest understanding of. Now that it had reached the fifth level of heaven, it was already a middle-grade mystique!
The stream of water condensed into a whirlpool, and it carried a boundless and turbulent aura that enveloped Long Yu entirely.
Huo Mei 'er, who was watching the battle from the side, thought that Long Yu must be at his wit's end now. How could three people in the Realm of Divinity withstand the powerful attack of six experts in the Realm of Divinity?
However, what happened next completely exceeded Huo Mei 'er's expectations.
"Barrier of Death …"
The corner of Long Yu's mouth curled up slightly. He raised his hand and condensed a barrier of Divinity Characters of Death in front of him. Ever since he absorbed the power of the Shadow Heaven Stone, he had comprehended ten percent of the Divinity Characters of Death, which made the Barrier of Death useful to a certain extent.
Then, the water whirlpool suddenly swept towards the Barrier of Death that Long Yu was in. The high-speed whirlpool almost shattered the Barrier of Death in an instant. However, the Barrier of Death also absorbed a lot of the impact.
Just as all the spectators and Qiao Ziying were worried and nervous, Long Yu did not dodge or evade. It seemed that he wanted to withstand the impact of the Water Burial in the Sky with his body alone!
"Long Yu!"
Qiao Ziying exclaimed. She was only sparring with Long Yu. If she accidentally killed Long Yu, it would not be fun!
However, even if she wanted to stop immediately, she could not do it because the Water Burial in the Sky had already collided with Long Yu …
"Realm of Divinity Body, condense!"
In the face of the Water Burial's impact, Long Yu did not dodge or evade, and his eyes flashed calmly. In his estimation, this innate ability of Qiao Ziying's couldn't destroy his Realm of Divinity Body.
In other words, even if Long Yu stood still, Qiao Ziying's attack wouldn't be able to injure him!
The whirlpool formed by the Divine Runes of Water instantly surged, mixed with wave after wave of the power of the Divine Runes of Death. With a loud bang, the whirlpool exploded, and a tyrannical shockwave swept out, causing Qiao Ziying, who was very close to it, to be pushed back a few steps.
