Both of them were holding back!
Bai Ziliang was gathering his demonic energy.
Miao Yi didn't dare to underestimate the Great Art of Myriad Demons. He released a cloud of black mist from his storage ring and put on the Third Grade Armor Artifact just in case.
It was the same Third Grade Armor Artifact he got from An Zhengfeng in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. After all, he hadn't settled down in Wood Traversing Palace for long. Not only did Yao Ruoxian refine a new Qilin Spear for him, it would also take a lot of time to refine a better defensive armor for him. Yao Ruoxian didn't have the time or interest to refine artifacts for him at the moment.
One side was covered in demonic energy, while the other was clad in armor. It was obvious that both sides were going to fight for real. The spectators were on high alert.
Bai Ziliang was brimming with killing intent as he pointed his spear at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi raised his spear and replied, "I will give you a quick death as well!"
Whoosh! Bai Ziliang thrust his spear forward with one arm and shot it straight at Miao Yi.
Clang! Miao Yi quickly deflected the incoming spear with his spear, then followed up with a series of stabs.
Bang! The demonic mist around Bai Ziliang's body suddenly exploded, along with the bun on top of his head. A dozen odd arms formed from demonic energy burst out of his body. His long hair fluttered wildly in the demonic energy, and his eyes glowed red. His entire being resembled an octopus.
He had even more tentacles than an octopus. Obviously, an octopus's tentacles weren't as terrifying as these dozen arms. These were demonic arms formed from demonic energy that could change shape at will.
Many people on the surrounding mountains widened their eyes. Many of them had never seen the Great Art of Myriad Demons before.
Atop the Celestial Nation's mountain, Zong Zhen narrowed his eyes.
"Great Art of Myriad Demons!" Yue Tianbo blurted out as he silently placed his hand on the table.
It wasn't just Cheng Aofang. In that instant, everyone on the Celestial Nation's side felt their hearts tighten for Miao Yi.
"Great Art of Myriad Demons!" The Lady Boss muttered as she clenched her fists together. She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
Ba Jie was already holding a string of beads in his hand. His thumbs quickly moved the beads as he muttered something silently.
The people on the highest peaks of the Six Nations watched coldly from the sidelines.
Ji Meimei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her son finally using the Great Art of Myriad Demons. He was excited.
In the instant that the two of them collided in midair, one side was brimming with demonic Qi, while the other side struck out with his spear like a dragon.
More than ten demon arms danced in a dazzling manner. In the blink of an eye, they moved forward, twisted, and sealed!
Rapid thumping sounds could be heard, like the beating of a drum in the sky. The sound of the drum reverberated throughout the earth, and it was the Qilin Spear clashing with the dozen or so demonic arms. Fast, messy, and urgent!
Amidst the clanging of metal, Bai Ziliang's Flood Dragon Spear also seized the opportunity to attack, appearing and disappearing like a ghost amidst the demon arms that were quickly blocking and attacking.
Countless people on the mountains of the six nations couldn't help but stand up. Even people like Yue Tianbo also stood up and looked up. The battle in the sky was simply too intense.
The demon arm that was attached to Bai Ziliang's body was as flexible as a finger. It was thick, strong, and extremely nimble. It could even change its thickness. Like an indestructible and resilient piece of leather, it was able to completely protect Bai Ziliang as he brandished it. It was impossible for Miao Yi's swift attack to reach Bai Ziliang.
On the other hand, Miao Yi could only defend against the combined attacks of so many demon arms, and was forced to retreat.
What was even more shocking was how fast Miao Yi's spear was. Against the combined attacks of the dozen or so demon arms and Bai Ziliang's Flood Dragon Spear, Miao Yi's Qilin Spear was like a shower of flowers in his hand, blocking all of the attacks. That was where the drumming sound came from.
'So fast!' The spectating cultivators from the various sects were in an uproar. The Sect Master of the Sect of the Three Founders, Peng Yu, was shocked. He didn't expect Miao Yi to be so strong with the spear.
Worried, the Lady Boss was also shocked. She didn't expect Miao Yi to be able to withstand Bai Ziliang's Great Art of Myriad Demons with just a single spear.
Ba Jie's fingers froze as he twirled his prayer beads, his eyes wide. 'This Big Brother is a little fierce!'
Behind the veil, Feng Beichen saw that his wife, Qin Xi, was also watching the battle attentively. He smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation is a little lacking, the speed of this kid's spear would be comparable to a Purple Lotus cultivator's. It's not easy for him to comprehend spear arts to this level at such a young age. No wonder he dares to say that he's invincible in the Red Lotus realm with a spear in hand."
In the midst of his attack, Bai Ziliang was a little surprised as well. He realized that Miao Yi's spear arts had instantly improved to a whole new level, and his speed had become even faster. He was actually able to seal off his Great Art of Myriad Demons' attacks, rendering his attacks useless against Miao Yi. Only now did he realize that he didn't lose unjustly at all. He didn't feel the slightest bit wronged, and there was nothing to feel wronged about. His spear arts and Miao Yi's weren't even on the same level. Miao Yi's spear arts were on a completely different level.
Even he suddenly felt like he'd been a joke for daring to compete with Miao Yi in spear arts!
All of a sudden, the demonic arms changed their attacks and completely gave up on attacking Miao Yi. All of a sudden, they gathered together, and the sounds of battle in the air came to a halt. A few of the demonic arms had already wrapped around Miao Yi's Qilin Spear.
Miao Yi was shocked. He immediately used all of his cultivation to pull his spear back.
It was a little difficult for Bai Ziliang to pull Miao Yi's spear back with those demonic arms that were formed from pure demonic energy. After all, his cultivation wasn't that much higher than Miao Yi's. However, Bai Ziliang still had a sinister smile on his face. This little delay was more than enough time for Miao Yi's spear arts. In the blink of an eye, all of the demonic arms had grabbed onto the Qilin Spear.
Many of the spectators thought to themselves, 'This is bad. Miao Yi, who can't use his spear arts to attack, has naturally lost his greatest advantage.'
The Flood Dragon Spear in Bai Ziliang's hand was thrusting towards Miao Yi. Miao Yi quickly caught the spear with one arm, freeing up his other hand to quickly counter.
'Clang!' A loud clang resounded in the air. Miao Yi quickly used his wrist protector to deflect the Flood Dragon Spear's attack. Then, with a twist of his wrist, he grabbed onto the Flood Dragon Spear as well. The two of them were instantly locked in a stalemate in the air. However, Miao Yi's cultivation was clearly inferior to Bai Ziliang's. He was spun around in the air by Bai Ziliang.
"Haha …" Then, Miao Yi heard Bai Ziliang's maniacal laughter. His long hair fluttered in the thick demonic energy.
Miao Yi's pupils abruptly shrank. He saw Bai Ziliang suddenly open his mouth. 'Whoosh!' A mouthful of dense demonic aura sprayed out, instantly enveloping him within it.
Not only was the demonic energy able to corrode his transcendence energy defenses, it was also like a living thing. It transformed into thousands of tiny snakes and burrowed into Miao Yi's clothes to bite him. Even a Third Grade Artifact Artifact couldn't defend against it. And that wasn't even the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that the demonic energy that resembled thousands of tiny snakes was burrowing into Miao Yi's orifices.
Ji Meimei smiled. Ji Dehai calmly glanced at the Celestial Nation's mountaintop, thinking that the outcome of the battle had already been decided.
Everyone on the Celestial Nation's side widened their eyes. They saw that Miao Yi had already been enveloped by a strange, surging demonic energy. It was so thick that they couldn't even see him anymore.
"This is bad!" Yue Tianbo exclaimed.
Zong Zhen sighed softly.
The Lady Boss almost leaped into the air, but the carpenter, who had already predicted this, approached her and grabbed her wrist. The Lady Boss quickly turned around to look at him. Her eyes were already red, and she was so agitated that she almost screamed out loud.
Ba Jie's expression suddenly turned savage. Just as he was about to charge forward, he suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the sky. It was his Big Brother, Miao Yi's voice. "How dare you show off your insignificant skills!"
The Lady Boss and Ba Jie looked up at the sky in unison.
Bai Ziliang's eyes instantly widened. He could sense that the demonic energy that had burrowed into Miao Yi's body had suddenly gone out of control, as though it had instantly turned into nothingness. The demonic energy wrapped around Miao Yi's body was also sizzling, as though it was being rapidly burned away by something.
Then, something strange happened. The Qilin Spear abruptly burst forth with a white mist that enveloped Bai Ziliang. Even the people below could feel the temperature in the air plummeting.
The demonic arms that were grabbing onto the Qilin Spear instantly lost their momentum. Bai Ziliang's body stiffened, and his entire body was covered in a layer of frost as he fell to the ground, dragging a dozen of his demonic arms along with him. He truly looked like an octopus that had fallen into the deep sea.
Buzz! The demonic mist in the air dissipated, and Miao Yi emerged from it with two spears in his hands. Bai Ziliang's Flood Dragon Spear was already in his hands.
Miao Yi couldn't help but shiver as he emerged from the demonic mist. He quickly invoked his arts to dispel the chill in his body, only to realize that controlling the Ice Flame and invoking an Ice Soul were two completely different things. He couldn't control the Ice Flame as he pleased. If it weren't for the Fiery Star Art protecting his body, he would have frozen himself to death by now.
In the air, he invoked his arts to erase Bai Ziliang's art source from the Flood Dragon Spear, then stowed it away in his own storage ring. It was a small windfall.
Looking at Miao Yi floating in the air unscathed, the Lady Boss almost burst into tears of joy. If not for the carpenter's stern reminder, she would have burst into tears by now.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was currently focused on the battle between Miao Yi and Bai Ziliang. Otherwise, her actions would definitely have alerted everyone that something was amiss.
Ba Jie, who was still in a state of shock, heaved a sigh of relief.
Behind the veil, Feng Beichen asked curiously, "He's actually able to use an Ice Soul attack without suffering any backlash. Could it be that this kid cultivates a fire-type cultivation art that counters it?"
As expected of an expert, he was able to see through the situation with just a glance.
The tables had suddenly turned. Even Zong Zhen, who was on the Celestial Nation's side, was a little overjoyed. Yue Tianbo and the others even let out a long sigh of relief.
Boom! Bai Ziliang fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Ji Meimei was almost scared out of her wits. In her panic, she didn't know what had befallen her son. Just as she was about to rush out, a hand pressed down on her shoulder and forcefully pressed her back into her seat.
Ji Meimei turned around and saw that it was one of the Overlords beside her. The Overlord transmitted his voice over, "I'm sorry. Your brother asked me to watch over you."
Ji Meimei abruptly turned to look at her brother. She saw Ji Dehai raising his cup expressionlessly as he coldly stared at the fallen Bai Ziliang.
Miao Yi was in danger, but no one was willing to help him. Since this was a fair duel, and it was happening in front of the entire world, the Yao Nation couldn't afford to lose face like this. Bai Ziliang was the one who declared that he wanted to fight to the death. He was the one who initiated the challenge. The rules set by the Exquisite Refinement Sect's Sect Master also stated that no one was allowed to help him.
They could either fight to the death, or admit defeat in front of everyone. If Bai Ziliang hadn't declared that he would admit defeat, Ji Dehai wouldn't have allowed Ji Meimei to lose both face and face.
"Why are you in such a hurry? He was only slightly affected by the Ice Soul attack. The outcome of this duel isn't certain yet," Ji Dehai coldly transmitted his voice over as he gave the girl a sidelong glance.
As expected, Bai Ziliang's momentum slowed a little as he crashed to the ground. A dozen demonic arms immediately propped him up.
Bang! The frost around Bai Ziliang's body abruptly exploded. His body trembled for a moment before he shot up into the sky once more.
