She gripped a long whip and lashed it at Ning Han Shuang. Flames coiled around the whip, and with each swing, the air seemed to ignite, creating a thunderous roar that was terrifying in its power.
Ning Hanshuang's eyes narrowed. She leaped up, flipped in mid-air, and narrowly dodged Ye Honglian's attack.
Ning Hanshuang's sword clashed with the whip, producing a crisp sound. Her arm jerked, and the longsword slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
"Ha, is that all you've got?"
Ye Honglian gave a mocking smile, then lightly touched the ground with her feet and shot towards Ning Hanshuang.
Ning Hanshuang lightly touched the ground with both feet and leaped into the air, dodging Ye Honglian's long whip, while simultaneously thrusting out her long sword.
The sword flashed brilliantly, its momentum fierce.
Upon seeing this, Ye Honglian immediately withdrew her whip, which then wrapped around Ning Hanshuang's longsword.
Ning Hanshuang was surrounded by ice and snow, her delicate, picturesque face appearing and disappearing amidst the icy chill.
She moved nimbly and struck Ye Honglian's chest with one palm.
Ye Honglian let out a muffled groan as her body flew backward.
She had always thought Ning Hanshuang was only 49th on the potential ranking, but she never expected that her cultivation was no less than her own. Ye Honglian was shocked.
"Red Lotus of Karmic Fire!"
Ye Honglian flicked her long whip, and flames rose up, transforming into a giant red lotus flower that rushed straight towards Ning Hanshuang.
"Freeze the land for ten thousand miles!" Ning Hanshuang shouted in a low voice, her hands quickly forming hand seals.
Clumps of ice balls emerged from the ground, coalescing into an ice shield around her, blocking Ye Honglian's Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
"The flames of karma will engulf the world!"
Ye Honglian shouted again, and a burst of scorching flames erupted from her fists, forming a crimson fire dragon that rushed towards Ning Hanshuang's ice shield.
The ice dragon and the fire dragon canceled each other out. With a flick of her finger, Ning Hanshuang caused the ice layer on the ground to collapse instantly, sending ice shards flying everywhere.
"A frozen expanse for thousands of miles, nothing more."
Ye Honglian sneered.
With a flick of her whip, the fire dragon shattered the ice shield and surged towards Ning Han Shuang.
Upon seeing this, Ning Hanshuang quickly retreated several meters.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiwang, who was watching the battle, sensed that the spirit beast egg in his system was moving. Could it be that the spirit beast was about to hatch?!
Xu Xiwang was overjoyed.
"Xiaorou, watch the outcome of their fight. Don't let them tear my villa down. I'm going upstairs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiwang appeared upstairs.
"System, system, quickly check if my spirit beast egg is about to hatch."
"Ding-dong, reporting to the host, the spirit beast egg is 99% hatched. Please infuse spiritual energy into the egg to complete the final hatching process."
Upon hearing the system notification, Xu Xiwang hurriedly infused spiritual energy into the egg, feeling extremely uneasy.
He wondered what kind of spirit beast would hatch from this egg. He didn't expect any peerless spirit beast; any dragon, phoenix, vermilion bird, or white tiger would be fine. At the very least, something like his third uncle's giant eagle would be acceptable.
"Awooo!"
A roar came from inside the egg.
Xu Xiwang was itching to listen, but dared not make a move, for fear of disturbing the hatching of the spirit beast.
"Awooo..."
"Awooo!"
Another roar followed.
Xu Xiwang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. What on earth was causing all this commotion inside the egg?
"System, what kind of mythical beast's cry is that?"
"Reporting to the host, this sound like a dog barking."
Xu Xiwang: "......"
What kind of ridiculous system is this?!
"System, don't jinx it! What dog barking! It's clearly the roar of a divine beast!"
The system paused for a moment, then said, "This is a question the system cannot answer. Host, you are currently incubating a spirit beast, so it's best not to speak carelessly."
Xu Xiwang: "......"
Xu Xiwang gritted his teeth, "System, what if I hatch some weird or strange thing?"
"The host is not a hen and cannot hatch chicks, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
System, I curse you to eat shit tonight!
