Seeing that the Yupei tribe leader remained silent, the Di tribe leader grew impatient: "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened!"
"I've only seen it once at the border. The Northern Region's techniques are considered the bane of the demons; the wounds inflicted are irreparable. But I don't know the specifics," the Yupei tribe commander replied, annoyed by the urging.
"Is that so? I didn't expect the Northern Region to be so terrifying." Chang Yulan's eyes flashed with indescribable emotions, before she steered the conversation back to Lu Zhaozhao, "So, this contestant named Guan Nan is very likely from the Northern Region?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the flames around Lu Zhaozhao disappeared. The four people who had fallen to the ground got up and staggered off the platform, as if they were being chased by some kind of raging beast.
The Yupei tribe commander saw clearly at this moment and denied it: "It's not the Northern Region. The bald man from the Northern Region can suppress the demon race's self-healing ability, but the wounds of those four people have already begun to heal."
Changyu Lan Guan choked for a moment, then changed the subject: "Is that so? But I don't think I've ever seen her moves in the Demon Realm before."
"It is the Heavenly Fire of the Nine Phoenixes that is harmful."
An aged voice interrupted Changyu Languan's words; it was the voice of the Gu Diao Clan commander, Cheng Sangji's grandfather.
"Are you out of your mind? The Nine Phoenixes have been extinct for a long time," Changyu Languan said unhappily.
"The letter from Ji says that there are remnants of the Nine Phoenixes' souls at the location of the second trial. They encountered them there, and this girl seems to have been tempered by heavenly fire. Perhaps that was the opportunity she received then," the Gu Diao Clan leader said calmly.
Chang Yulan's expression darkened: "So that's how it is. This opportunity is truly rare."
Changyu Languan had doubts about Guan Nan's identity, but he was more wary of the impact she would have on Changyu Lanshan. Therefore, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to induce an investigation and then secretly confirm her identity. However, he was stopped by the words of the Gu Diao Clan leader and couldn't help but lose his temper.
But the others present didn't know what he was thinking and assumed he was worried about his younger brother, since Changyu Lanshan's situation wasn't good at the moment.
Inside the arena, Changyu Lanshan spat and cursed his bad luck, while Nan Rongrui in front of him remained calm.
"Changyu Lanshan, do you still want to fight me? Why don't you go down there yourself and find another area to take over?"
Nan Rongrui spoke triumphantly. She hadn't fought such a satisfying battle since entering Ming Palace City. It was also her bad luck that almost every battle she had fought since entering the city was against Lu Zhaozhao.
Changyu Lanshan calmed his breathing, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, "Again!"
Seeing this, Nan Rongrui also straightened his expression, "You really don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, her figure disappeared immediately. Changyu Lanshan immediately went on alert, his tiger claws appearing, ready to attack at any moment.
A bird's cry rang out behind him, and he immediately attacked backward, leaping into the air, but the enormous creature behind him turned into a feather the instant he touched it.
Oh no! Changyu Lanshan was terrified and quickly tried to switch back to a defensive stance, but Nan Rongrui wouldn't give him that chance.
Feathers swept in from all directions, piercing towards Changyu Lanshan like blades, endless and densely packed.
Changyu Lanshan used its tiger claws to create a barrier, struggling to withstand the millions of attacks.
"Knock knock knock..."
The feather blades relentlessly struck the barrier, each attack causing Changyu Lanshan's face to turn even paler.
"Changyu Lanshan, this is no fun. If you keep going like this, your defenses will be breached by me sooner or later. Let's have a fair fight!"
Seeing that he was holding on, Nan Rongrui tried to provoke him, but Changyu Lanshan remained unmoved and continued to hold up the barrier on his own.
"Hmph, putting up a stubborn resistance!" Nan Rongrui's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she intensified her attack.
The feather blades became even denser, surrounding Changyu Lanshan from all sides, making it impossible to see even a corner of his clothes from the outside.
Changyu Languan's face grew increasingly gloomy, while the Nanrong Commander opposite him was beaming with joy, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting, "Arui is young and doesn't know his own strength. Languan, don't take it to heart. I'll have Arui apologize to Lanshan later."
"Heh." Changyu Languan chuckled lightly and said to Commander Nanrong without any politeness, "The outcome is not yet decided, it's a bit too early to talk about these things now."
Commander Nanrong replied with a cold laugh, "We'll see over there."
Having said that, he calmly observed the situation on the field.
The arena remained in chaos as Nan Rongrui's feathered blades overwhelmed Changyu Lanshan, causing the barrier to shrink.
Nan Rongrui smiled contemptuously and said, "I always thought you were so powerful because you looked down on your own brother. I never expected you to be like this." Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach Changyu Lanshan.
After saying that, he was about to end the battle.
Suddenly, a chilling killing intent came from behind. Before Nan Rongrui could even think, her body instinctively dodged.
The claws grazed her neck, leaving a bloody gash; they were just a hair's breadth away from severing her neck.
Nan Rongrui clutched her neck, still shaken, staring at Changyu Lanshan, who was covered in blood, as if she were looking at a ghost.
"How...how did you get out?"
Seeing Nan Rongrui's terrified eyes, Changyu Lanshan suddenly laughed. His clothes were torn open inch by inch, revealing skin covered in cuts from feather blades, from which blood gushed out. His face was also covered in wounds. This smile amidst the blood was like a demon incarnate.
Changyu Lanshan stared at Nan Rongrui, sharpened his tiger claws, and said, "What, are you the only one allowed to use illusions?"
In that instant, Nan Rongrui suddenly understood. Changyu Lanshan used her feather blade attack to isolate himself from the outside world, and then, enduring all the attacks, he crept up step by step to her back and launched this fatal blow.
Nan Rongrui couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Changyu Lanshan had held out for so long, all for this final blow. If he hadn't dodged at that moment, he probably would have died on the spot.
"You're insane!" Nan Rongrui roared, finally understanding the situation. "Aren't you afraid of my clan...?"
"Nan Rongrui, didn't I tell you not to say I'm inferior to him?" Changyu Lanshan interrupted her, speaking in a sinister tone.
Nan Rongrui was startled by his expression and murmured, "Just for this reason..."
"In terms of strength, I am indeed inferior to you, but if I were to truly fight to the death, you would not fare well." Changyu Lanshan retracted his tiger claws, and reason returned to his mind at this moment. "I'll give it to you, but if you dare to say similar things again in the future..."
Chang Yulanshan didn't finish what he was going to say, but Nan Rongrui understood perfectly.
She watched as Changyu Lanshan slowly left. They were all injured, with Changyu Lanshan being more seriously injured, but that did not prevent him from defeating the other ordinary demons.
Commander Nanrong, who had witnessed the whole thing, had a gloomy expression. This was an outcome he hadn't expected. On the contrary, Changyu Languan was in a good mood, as if the elder brother whom Changyu Lanshan had just hated was not him.
Commander Nanrong glanced at Changyu Languan, muttered under his breath that the whole family were reckless lunatics, and then silently moved his seat further away from him.
