All the magical elemental energy in the vortex was safely absorbed into her dantian. Now it was a race against time. Whoever recovered first would win the competition. Even she felt extremely heavy in her heart.

A sound seemed unusually clear in this tense atmosphere. Shui Qingrou slowly stood up and looked at An Ran opposite her who was still in the state of breakthrough, with a smile on her lips.

"Shui Qingrou has recovered! An Ran is completely finished now!"

"Shui Qingrou will definitely not let An Ran go. If this breakthrough is affected, she may go astray!"

An Ran's heart sank, and he quickly absorbed the magical elemental energy in the air, while his hands were flipping rapidly. Astonishing waves spread between his hands, and the magical energy like a stream touched the Jiutian Pipa, and a pleasant sound was transmitted.

Shui Qingrou moved extremely quickly. She would not let down at such a critical moment. She rushed towards An Ran almost immediately. The surging magic energy shuttled through the palm of her hand and condensed into an energy ball in the blink of an eye, which shot towards An Ran!

At the same time, An Ran had finished forming seals with her hands, and a visible energy ripple spread out, instantly condensing into a pure white light shield in front of her that enveloped her entire body!

The light ball hit the light shield, causing ripples on it, but it did not achieve the effect Shui Qingrou expected. She raised her eyebrows slightly and snorted coldly, "Let me see how strong your light shield is!"

As the voice fell, Shui Qingrou attacked the light shield again with a palm. Powerful magical energy shuttled through his palm, and he slapped the light shield with a whistling palm!

"boom!"

The next moment, Shui Qingrou's eyes flashed with surprise. This light shield hadn't been destroyed by her attack. What kind of light shield was this? It had such strong defensive power.

Anxiety welled up in An Ran's heart. She just hoped that the light shield could last a little longer. It would only take a moment for her to complete the breakthrough!

“Boom boom boom!”

When the first attack failed, Shui Qingrou attacked the light shield with several consecutive palm strikes. The fluctuations on the light shield became bigger and bigger, and finally a crack appeared!

Along with the appearance of a crack, several cracks soon appeared on the light shield one after another, and finally it shattered!

Looking at the dissipating light shield, Shui Qingrou's eyes flashed with pride, and she immediately attacked An Ran's shoulder with a palm! If she was hit by this move, An Ran would not only fail to break through but also be seriously injured!

Everyone's minds were tense, and they watched the scene on the arena without blinking. Will this competition end like this?

Seeing her palm getting closer and closer to An Ran, Shui Qingrou's mouth curves unconsciously widened. An Ran would eventually die in her hands!

Just when everyone thought that everything was a foregone conclusion and the smile on Shui Qingrou's face was set, An Ran's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and she faced Shui Qingrou's palm with one palm!

"Bang!"

They separated their palms and both took a step back.

Shui Qingrou looked at An Ran, who had stood up, in astonishment. Why had she suddenly opened her eyes? Could she have achieved a breakthrough in such a short time? Who could achieve a breakthrough so quickly?

A breath of foul air spurted out of An Ran's mouth. Feeling the much stronger power in her body, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you that I successfully broke through."

Such a huge contrast made everyone look shocked. This competition was full of ups and downs and changes were unpredictable, and An Ran's successful breakthrough made some people happy and some worried.

Shui Qingrou's eyes flickered, and her expression was extremely wonderful: "Even if you break through, so what? You still can't change your fate of dying!

She spoke lightly, but her heart was heavy. An Ran's combat power was even stronger than her own cultivation. Previously, her cultivation level was two levels higher than hers, so she was always at a disadvantage during their fight. But now, this advantage was constantly shrinking.

"If I say I will take your life, I will definitely take your life!" An Ran said seriously, with confidence on her delicate face.

Shui Qingrou shouted coldly, gnashing her teeth as she made a crazy decision! Vast magical energy surged instantly, and her slender hands formed a series of mysterious and complex hand seals as they shifted. An extremely violent energy wave suddenly spread out from them.

As Anran's jade fingers plucked the piano, the sound of the piano, like the sound of a spring water that cleanses the soul, slowly spread out, and streams of energy quietly took shape from the piano.

"Great Heavenly Tathagata Palm!"

As Shui Qingrou's voice fell, an extremely terrifying energy wave came from the sky. The next moment, a huge golden palm that was several times larger than Han Bing's hand and nearly a hundred feet long tore through the sky and appeared in everyone's sight!

A terrifying force that seemed to shake the heaven and earth emanated from it, causing waves of gasps.

At this moment, An Ran's body was wrapped in colorful magical energy, just like a cocoon, making it impossible to see her figure, and an extremely fierce force was sweeping out from her.

"The zither turns into sword waves!" An Ran said coldly.

Shui Qingrou suddenly waved her white hand, and the huge palm covered the sky, pierced through the void and slammed towards An Ran!

An Ran's mind moved, and the colorful magical energy lingering around her exploded, scattering like a bomb, and covering Xiang Shuirou like a rainstorm.

The five-colored magic element energy surged against the wind, and everyone could see clearly that it was not just a simple five-colored magic element energy, but a sword made up of the five-colored magic element energy.

Both attacks were mixed with extremely violent fluctuations, and they collided with each other in front of the moved gazes of countless people!

"Boom boom"

At the moment of the collision, a sound like thunder from the sky resounded, and the space of the world seemed to be completely distorted at this moment. The disciples watching unconsciously covered their bodies with magical energy for protection.

The extremely hard fighting arena cracked under the ravages of this energy, and a terrifying deep pit was formed in the center of the arena!

Not only that, this magical energy was also destroying the surrounding buildings. Seeing this, the old man stretched out his hand to form a huge protective shield, controlling the destruction within a certain range.

An Ran and Shui Qingrou were thrown backwards, and huge smoke and dust filled the area around the arena. When all this completely dissipated, everyone could see the dilapidated arena and the ruins!

"Click"

Suddenly, a sound echoed from the ruins, and An Ran slowly emerged from the rubble. However, she looked even more disheveled than before, her white clothes covered in dust, completely losing their original color. (To be continued.)
