The two continued to fight, even without using weapons, yet neither seemed to be fully satisfied.
As the fight progressed, An Ge's guard against Yi Wenbai lowered considerably. She could sense that his strength was far greater than what she had imagined, and he had been holding back during their battle, seemingly afraid of hurting her.
This shouldn't be someone from the evil god's faction; otherwise, they couldn't have fought for so long without using death energy. And if she wasn't mistaken, they were using spiritual energy!
"A cultivator?" An Ge asked, her eyes filled with doubt. It wasn't that she was narcissistic; although she didn't often interact with the outside world in the cultivation world, she had met the patriarchs of various sects and had a pretty good relationship with them, but she had never heard of this person before.
If An Ge hadn't been affected by the disguise drug, she could have analyzed the situation calmly. However, under the influence of the drug, her fighting spirit prevailed, and she immediately put her doubts aside, feeling somewhat unconvinced.
What does it mean that this person is holding back? Are they looking down on her? She hasn't even used her full strength yet!
Just then, a white light emanated from the Holy Tower, and the two of them vanished from their spot in an instant.
The demons were in an uproar, "Where did the Holy Maiden go?"
"I was really enjoying it, how did it suddenly disappear?"
"How can you be like this, you demon? Her Highness the Holy Maiden is fighting the enemy, and you're not only not worried, but you're actually watching the show?"
"Weren't you watching the show too?" the demon retorted defiantly.
"I have always supported Her Highness the Holy Maiden in my heart, in the way that my soul supports her."
"Me too!"
An Ge and Yi Wenbai, who were being gossiped about by the demons, looked at the empty forest with puzzled expressions. Suddenly, Kang Lao's voice came, and before An Ge could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him say, "You're fighting outside and damaging the flowers and plants, why don't you come to the arena and have a proper match?"
I've suppressed your strength to the maximum the arena can withstand, so just go all out. Don't worry, this place is formed from your divine senses, so even if you lose an arm or a leg, it's fine."
An Ge watched as Yi Wenbai's expression shifted from confusion to excitement, and she became excited as well. Old Kang was truly admirable; he knew she needed a whetstone to vent her frustrations and even specially arranged this occasion.
At this moment, Old Kang wore a cunning smile. This little girl actually dared to provoke an Ascended Being; she really had some nerve. It would be a good opportunity to let him see just how strong she was.
By the way, the viewing mode that An Yatou mentioned last time seems quite interesting. He just happened to have set it up, so he can give it a try.
Unbeknownst to An Ge and Yi Wenbai, their figures were transmitted through the recording stone outside the Holy Tower.
"Huh, what's that?"
"This must be the viewing mode that Her Highness the Holy Maiden was referring to, right? The Holy Maiden is so considerate of us, she actually enabled the viewing mode."
"I want to give the Holy Maiden a reward! Your Highness, you will win!"
"The Holy Maiden will prevail!"
The demons outside the Holy Tower were ignited with passion. Knowing that the Holy Maiden would not be injured, their worry turned into excitement. This was a clash of top-tier combatants; witnessing it would make their demonic lives worthwhile.
In an instant, more and more demons crowded into the Holy Tower. What was originally a large square outside the Holy Tower was now filled with demons.
Jiang Shang was delayed by some matters and entered the Demon Realm a few days later than originally planned. Along the way, he was shocked by the changes in the Demon Realm and somewhat regretful that he could not participate in the Holy Maiden Ceremony.
Given his master's cautious nature, he would definitely investigate the details of that holy maiden. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Shang arrived in the Demon Realm, he went straight to the capital. He had barely settled down when he heard several demons excitedly talking and running towards each other.
Curiosity drove him to follow the demon army, and before he even reached the Holy Tower, he learned what had happened. It turned out that a human was fighting the Holy Maiden, and these demons were there to cheer her on.
Jiang Shang was somewhat worried. Which human was so impulsive as to challenge the demon race? Did they want to provoke a war between the two races? No, he had to go and see. He couldn't let the situation get out of control.
But the things they're talking about, like the Holy Tower and viewing modes, sound so familiar.
An Ge and Yi Wenbai were unaware that their actions had been broadcast live. At this moment, they looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.
"The little girl has good talent and strength, but she's just a newborn calf. Here, I won't show any mercy." It's more than just good talent; whether in the Divine Realm or the Tianxuan Continent, this is the first time in ten thousand years that he has encountered someone with such talent.
He admired her, but this young girl was too impetuous; he had to keep her in check, otherwise her arrogance would be detrimental to her cultivation path. Looking at An Ge, he couldn't help but think of his own little disciple.
It must be said that the two shared some similarities. However, compared to this saintess, even their own little apprentice was quite modest.
An Ge knew the other party meant well, but something about what they said still bothered her. "What little girl? Don't try to act like a senior to me. I didn't go all out before, so don't underestimate me."
As he spoke, An Ge summoned the Azure Flame. He had already mastered the fourth form of the Nine Heavens Sword Technique, and this was the perfect opportunity to test its power.
Yi Wenbai's eyes lit up. "What a fine sword!" Although this weapon had not yet been tempered by the divine energy, the aura it exuded was terrifying. He had a premonition that if he wasn't careful, even if his strength wasn't suppressed, he might still fall victim to its power.
Yi Wenbai's original intention of instructing a junior had also changed. He looked at An Ge with a serious expression. Now that their cultivation levels were the same, if he were to be careless and fall into the hands of this little girl, he would lose all face.
Thinking of this, Yi Wenbai also summoned his weapon. The little girl used a sword, and coincidentally, so did he.
The two did not use spiritual or magical power, but instead began to fight with their swords drawn. In an instant, sword light flashed everywhere, and wherever their figures passed, trees were left in ruins.
Elder Kang felt a pang of regret; the forest scene had taken a considerable amount of his energy. He knew An Ge possessed a wood-type spiritual root and had specially constructed such a scene, yet An Ge hadn't used any spiritual power at all.
Kang Lao quickly realized that no matter how well An Ge disguised herself, she wasn't a true demon, and there was no such thing as a wood-type spiritual root among demons. If the demons discovered that she possessed powerful vitality, she would definitely be exposed.
Old Kang regretted his miscalculation; he wished he hadn't turned on the viewing mode.
An Ge wasn't afraid of being discovered; after all, she was unaware that she was being broadcast live. However, the disguise potion severely limited her ability to use magic, and the potion risked losing its effectiveness due to the divine power within her. It was better for her to simply transform into a sword cultivator.
The two continued to fight, and soon both realized something was wrong.
Why are his/her sword moves so similar to mine?
Compared to Yi Wenbai's doubts, An Ge was more wary. She recalled the battle with the tenth-level zombie. Could the other party also be a psychic ability user?
An Ge kept testing the waters in her mind, sometimes singing divine songs, sometimes cursing evil gods, but after a lot of effort, the other party remained unmoved.
