There was blood at the corner of Dongfang Xue's mouth.
Apart from not using the Great Sacrificial Art, she had already gone all out.
Unfortunately, she was still no match for Di Huo.
Di Huo's strength was much higher than hers. He had not even used his full strength yet.
The reason why he did not use his full strength was not because Di Huo wanted to go easy on her.
Instead, he was still wary of Gu Xuan in the cave.
Although he had heard of Gu Xuan's name, he knew nothing about Gu Xuan's strength.
From the first realm to the ninth realm, he had almost never interacted with the other martial artists and fierce beasts participating in the Holy Ranking Grand Competition.
Di Huo had to admit that his luck was excellent.
His opponents along the way were mostly indigenous fierce beasts that were not worth mentioning.
What he gained was far more than what he had to pay.
Of course, Di Huo did not think so. He firmly believed that everything he had gained was obtained with his own strength.
He even thought that the hardships he had suffered were no less than anyone else.
Therefore, he was even more certain that he should have gained more.
For example, the first place on the Holy Ranking should belong to him.
After fighting with Dongfang Xue, Di Huo confirmed two things.
First, Dongfang Xue was no match for him.
Second, Gu Xuan in the cave did not live up to his name. Not only was he weak, but he was also a coward who did not dare to come out at all.
He probably wanted to rely on the many formations and restrictions in the cave to defeat him.
Therefore, even when he saw his companion at a disadvantage and his life was in danger, he did not dare to come out.
"Dongfang Xue, why are you so stubborn?
In fact, with your low ranking, you and I should not have a conflict.
If you are willing to submit to me and cooperate with me to kill Gu Xuan and help me take first place, I promise you that I will help you get into the top nine. How about it? "
Di Huo did not only rely on brute force to get to where he was today. He rolled his eyes and wanted to turn Dongfang Xue against him.
"That Gu Xuan is as timid as a mouse, hiding in the cave and not thinking about you at all. Why do you have to risk your life for him?"
Dongfang Xue smiled coldly. She formed a seal with her hands, and the waves of the floating river became even more terrifying.
"Cut the crap. You are still far from being able to enter the cave!
Law of Water, Evil Dragon Devours the Heavens! "
Amidst the rolling waves, a water dragon that was hundreds of feet long revealed half of its body from the water.
It raised its head and roared. It opened its mouth and rushed toward Di Huo, as if it wanted to swallow the space where Di Huo was.
The terrifying power caused the space within a radius of thirty meters around Di Huo to become incomparably distorted. It was as if the space would be completely torn apart with just a little more force.
Dongfang Xue was a little disappointed at the sight of the warped space.
If he had not lost the power of the True Dragon, the space would not only be distorted, it would be torn apart.
Standing in the billows, Di Huo smiles coldly.
"Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, since you're so stubborn and refuse to submit to me, I'll let you know the true terror of a middle stage Profound Sage!"
He had only thought of trying to recruit Dongfang Xue on a whim.
He didn't care if he could recruit them or not.
Anyway, it was already confirmed that Gu Xuan was a coward who did not live up to his name. Then there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Seven Revolving Moon Slashes, Third Slash!"
A strange weapon that looked like the Crescent Moon Slash suddenly appeared in Di Huo's hand.
Holding the weapon in his right hand, he aimed it at the water dragon and swung it fiercely!
An energy slash that was exactly the same as the weapon flew out.
It was so fast that even with Dongfang Xue's eyesight, she could only see a shadow.
Its power was so strong that even the space had been torn apart.
This attack seemed to be able to cut the sky in half!
In an instant, the water dragon and the energy slash collided.
Unsurprisingly, the water dragon was directly blown into two halves. It lost all its power and turned into water droplets that fell from the sky.
However, the energy slash did not slow down in the slightest. It suddenly changed direction in the air and fell vertically into the long river that was suspended in the air.
With a boom, the entire long river that was suspended in the air collapsed.
The water that filled the sky fell from the sky like a heavy downpour.
Dongfang Xue's body shook violently. She stepped back in the air.
With every step she took, cracks would appear in the space under her feet.
She wanted to use the force of the cracks to stabilize her body. Unfortunately, there was no way for her to do so. She only stopped when she reached the entrance of the cave and activated a formation. She crashed into the protective light barrier.
Puff!
Dongfang Xue spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her attack was broken, and the floating river was destroyed, causing her to suffer a huge backlash. Once again, she was heavily injured.
Di Huo walked forward step by step with a mocking expression.
"You will die with my next attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Huo had already launched his attack.
The Crescent Moon Slash in his hand once again condensed a vast amount of energy.
"The only one who will die here today is you!"
Dongfang Xue's eyes shone with a strong killing intent and a hint of madness.
At this point, she had no choice but to use the Great Sacrificial Technique again to kill Di Huo!
Looking at her left arm, Dongfang Xue smiled bitterly in her heart. This time, she could only sacrifice this arm.
As for burning her lifespan, that thought had never even crossed her mind.
Gu Xuan had risked his life to extend her lifespan. Sacrificing a month or a day would be a waste!
A hint of confusion flashed through Di Huo's eyes. He could sense danger from Dongfang Xue.
"Strike first and gain the upper hand. She's going to go all out. I can't delay any longer."
Di Huo waved the Crescent Moon Slash in his hand.
"Seven Revolving Moon Slash, Fourth Slash!
Destroy! "
Whoosh!
An energy slash surrounded by runes pierced through the air and slashed toward Dongfang Xue!
He was going to blast Dongfang Xue in half with this attack!
Dongfang Xue made a hand seal with her hands. She was extremely confident.
As long as she controlled it well and caught Di Huo off guard, there was a high chance that she could kill him at the cost of losing an arm!
Beams of holy light blossomed from Dongfang Xue's body.
Di Huo smiled coldly. His eyes were full of disdain.
"No matter how much you resist, you will still be beaten to death!"
However, just as he said these words, an ice-cold voice suddenly sounded from within the cave.
"Is that so?"
Before the voice had even finished speaking, the white-robed Gu Xuan had already walked out of the cave as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
His movement technique was so fast that it was strange.
He clearly looked like he was walking very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Dongfang Xue.
"You want to sacrifice your left arm again?
Why are you always so stupid?
But thank you. "
Beams of energy surged from Gu Xuan's hands behind his back and entered Dongfang Xue's body, helping her heal her injuries and replenishing her energy.
A relieved expression finally appeared on Dongfang Xue's face. The holy light that erupted from her body also quickly dissipated.
In fact, she had even removed all of her defenses.
With Gu Xuan around, she was very safe. No one could harm a single hair on her body.
Looking at Gu Xuan's back, she felt extremely at ease. It was also at this moment that Di Huo's energy slash viciously struck Gu Xuan!
