Since he had no weapon to use, Chu Xingyun could only rush over and engage in close-range attacks.
Just as Chu Xingyun was about to take a step forward, his heart trembled violently. Chu Xingyun felt all the hair on his body stand on end. He had a premonition that once he took this step, he would be consigned to eternal damnation!
Chu Xingyun did not move, but the other party moved.
Clearly, the other party was also a close-combat warrior. When he saw that Chu Xingyun did not move, he mistakenly thought that Chu Xingyun was a long-range warrior. Therefore, he immediately moved, attempting to close the distance between them and launch a close-range attack.
He crossed a few stone pillars in a row and was about to cross half the arena. At this moment, nine blazing fire pillars rose into the air.
Aiya!
In mid-air, the warrior let out a blood-curdling scream as he was hit by one of the fire pillars.
Under Chu Xingyun's astonished gaze, the warrior was sent flying by the huge impact of the fire pillars.
In the air, the cultivator's body burned fiercely under the intense spray of the fire pillar. Before his body could fall, he turned into ashes that filled the air and drifted down.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Chu Xingyun finally understood how dangerous these fire pillars were.
The lava pool beneath his feet would constantly accumulate Earth Fire. When the Earth Fire in the lava pool accumulated to a certain level, it would explode and turn into nine Divine Pillars of Blazing Fire that would shoot up violently.
However, these blazing fire pillars did not need to be fully accumulated before they could erupt. In fact … as long as they accumulated to a certain extent, they could be activated at any time.
Those who could enter the Lava Battlefield were all martial artists with fire-attribute talent. Once they moved, the power of fire in their bodies would easily trigger the accumulated Earth Fire in the lava pool, causing it to erupt in an instant.
If Chu Xingyun had been the one who moved first, the one who triggered the Earth fire would not have been his opponent, but Chu Xingyun.
As his opponent was killed, Chu Xingyun could not help but frown. His eyes quickly scanned the lava pool, which had a diameter of a hundred meters, looking for clues.
As he was searching, the fire on the opposite side flashed again. A second opponent appeared …
As soon as she appeared, the girl in the red dress raised her hand and released a scarlet flying shadow at Chu Xingyun.
In the blink of an eye, the scarlet flying shadow was not big. It was about the size of an ordinary sparrow. However, its entire body was scarlet and the surface of its body was burning with raging flames.
Faced with the firebird that was quickly attacking him, Chu Xingyun helplessly put his index and middle finger together to form a sword technique. Then, he slashed his sword.
Whoosh …
The scarlet sword Qi instantly shot out from Chu Xingyun's hand and cut the firebird in half.
Originally, Chu Xingyun had thought that the Fire Bird would definitely be destroyed by the sword energy and die on the spot.
However, the truth was the complete opposite. Although Chu Xingyun's sword Qi had cut the firebird in half, the energy within the sword Qi had been completely absorbed by the firebird.
After absorbing Chu Xingyun's flaming sword Qi, the firebird that had been cut in half did not collapse. Instead, it turned from one into two and continued to charge at Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun frowned and waved his right hand resolutely. He slashed out three times in a row in a crisscross pattern.
Chi chi chi …
Under Chu Xingyun's watch, the firebird turned from two to three, then to four, then to five …
He had slashed out a total of five sword Qis. However, the number of firebirds had increased from one to five. Furthermore, the strength of each firebird was equally tyrannical.
Chu Xingyun furrowed his brows. He knew that it wasn't that these Fire Birds couldn't be killed. It was just that … trying to kill them with fire energy was a fool's dream.
Obviously, this firebird was the opponent's Wu Ling. It had the innate ability to devour fire.
This firebird, Wu Ling, could devour any kind of fire and convert it into its own energy. From there, it could split into countless firebirds.
If it were an ordinary person, they might really be defeated by this firebird. After all … the firebirds would increase in number the more they were killed. It was simply impossible to eliminate them.
Even if they could barely resist for a while, as more and more firebirds appeared, they would eventually be unable to resist. Defeat was only a matter of time.
However, Chu Xingyun was different. Even if he did not have a single Emperor Artifact or Imperial Weapon, he would not be defeated so easily.
Seeing the five firebirds circling in the air, whistling as they leaped over, Chu Xingyun could not help but take a deep breath. He pointed his sword and instantly activated a storm of sword Qis …
Chi chi …
With a violent whistling sound, thirteen sword Qis shot out from Chu Xingyun's sword fingers. They condensed into a storm of sword Qis that enveloped the five firebirds.
As the thirteen sword Qis crisscrossed, the five firebirds were instantly sliced into thousands of pieces. They were practically dismembered on the spot …
If the firebird could still be reborn after being sliced into pieces by the storm of sword Qis, then Chu Xingyun would have nothing to say. Even if he was defeated, it would be inevitable.
However, although the firebird Wu Ling had the devouring ability of the Engulfing Flames, it was difficult for it to activate its devouring ability after being sliced into pieces.
Although he was almost certain that it would be difficult for the other party to retaliate, Chu Xingyun would not be careless. He moved his feet and prepared to leap over to end the battle once and for all.
Wait!
Just as Chu Xingyun was about to move, the red-dressed girl suddenly spoke up to stop him.
Although Chu Xingyun knew that the other party was very likely using a stalling tactic, as a man, he still had his own integrity and bottom line.
No matter what, before he was sure that the other party was indeed using a stalling tactic, he had to give the other party a chance to speak.
The red-dressed girl looked at Chu Xingyun in surprise and said, "Hello … I am Nangong Huayan. May I ask who you are …"
Faced with the other party's question, Chu Xingyun could not help but frown. Up until now, he was still using the alias Luo Yun. His identity had not been completely revealed, and he did not intend to reveal it.
After muttering to himself for a while, Chu Xingyun said, "In Nanming Academy, my name is Luo Yun!"
Luo Yun?
Frowning in confusion, Nangong Huayan nodded and said, "On this Lava Battlefield, you are the second person who has truly defeated me … I will remember you."
After saying that, the red-dressed girl took a step forward and fell into the lava in front of her. A wisp of green smoke rose. Chu Xingyun had won the second match.
Nangong Huayan?
Chu Xingyun frowned. He was not unfamiliar with this name.
According to the information provided by Bai Bing, among the descendants of the Five Emperor, the Five Great Elites were the five most outstanding boys in the new generation of the Five Great Clans.
However, as everyone knew, it was impossible for any super clan to only have boys and no girls.
In fact, not only did the Five Great Clans have girls, but there were also quite a few of them. There were basically as many girls as there were boys.
