Zhai Hui hadn't expected such a turn of events. This kid actually had a monster legion under his command. Just who was he?
Taking advantage of the moment, Ruan Xiyan attacked Zhai Hui again, saying, "Our battle is not over yet, let's continue. Don't even think about running away."
Ruan Xiyan unleashed several sword beams, which Zhai Hui crushed one by one.
That wretched brat! I was planning to use sheer numbers to wear him down, but it backfired.
"Come on then! Why would I, the city lord, be afraid of a mere brat like you? I will personally kill you to avenge my daughter."
Zhai Hui and Ruan Xiyan clashed, and the aftershocks of their battle continued to spread outwards.
"Bang—smash!"
Ruan Xiyan faced Zhai Hui again and again, feeling the power surging within her body, slowly approaching the barrier of the pseudo-immortal realm.
Ruan Xiyan frantically mobilized the power in her body, desperately squeezing out all her strength to gather into the Frostfall Sword.
The power within his body suddenly vanished, and the Frostfall Sword in his hand emitted a buzzing sound, trembling incessantly.
Ruan Xiyan unleashed a powerful attack, gathering all her strength.
At almost the same time, Zhai Hui unleashed his strongest attack.
"Boom!" After a loud bang, the aftershocks of the power collided, and the ground of the chaotic city shook for a moment.
"What's going on?" People walking in the city looked in the direction of the sound with suspicion. "That direction seems to be the city lord's mansion."
"Could it be that some overconfident person has gone to the city lord's mansion to cause trouble again?"
Every month, many people go to fight Zhai Hui, hoping to take his place, but all of them return empty-handed.
Zhai Hui's strength has reached the high-level pseudo-immortal realm, and there are many powerful figures in his mansion. It will not be an easy task for him to replace him as the new local tyrant.
"This commotion seems bigger than usual. Let's go take a look."
Those people are the kind who love to watch the drama unfold. They're wandering around in this chaotic place, and they might lose their lives at any moment, so they're just having some fun while they can.
Moreover, they were living a life of constant danger and boredom, so it was a good opportunity for them to join in the fun.
With this in mind, many people in the chaotic city rushed to the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion.
The power of that collision just now exceeded the strength of a pseudo-immortal.
Fu Chishang clenched his fists slightly. Who won? Xiao Xi was only at the ninth level of the Supreme Realm. Would she be injured?
If someone gets hurt right under his nose, he won't know how to explain it to his sister.
Only after the aftershocks of the power dissipated did Fu Chishang finally see the situation before him clearly.
Seeing Ruan Xiyan standing there in white, with only her robes slightly disheveled and no other major damage, Fu Chishang breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
Zhai Hui suffered several broken bones, spitting out blood as he collapsed to his knees.
Fresh blood dripped onto the ground, staining the ground in front of him red.
No one had ever injured him to this extent before. Zhai Hui's face darkened. He had underestimated this young upstart.
Ruan Xiyan examined her body, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
He thought that fighting Zhai Hui would allow him to break through his bottleneck, but the barrier within his body remained quiet and showed no sign of breaking through.
Is it that Zhai Hui's strength is too weak, or that the realm of pseudo-immortal is too difficult to reach?
However, she had stayed in the Supreme Realm for quite some time. What Ruan Xiyan didn't know was that the Supreme Realm and the Pseudo-Immortal Realm were a watershed.
Most people take five or six years, or even more than ten years, to successfully advance from the Supreme Realm to the Pseudo-Immortal Realm.
Some people even remain at the ninth level of the Supreme Realm their entire lives, never breaking through until their death.
Even for geniuses with exceptionally rare talent, it would take at least two years of honing and consolidating their skills to reach the Pseudo-Immortal Realm from the Supreme Realm before they could possibly break through.
Although she failed to break through, Ruan Xiyan was somewhat disappointed. However, Zhai Hui was no longer of any value and there was no point in keeping him. She could only look for other ways to break through.
She approached Zhai Hui step by step, intending to end his life.
Zhai Hui looked at Ruan Xiyan approaching him, his face not filled with fear, but with a twisted and ferocious smile, "You brat, go to hell!"
A blood-stained hand suddenly slammed down on the ground.
"Xiao Xi, be careful." Fu Chishang sensed something was wrong and tried to go over, but it was too late. He was blocked by a layer of air currents.
Several array runes lit up on the ground, and several beams of light shot into the sky, trapping Ruan Xiyan inside.
"A formation!" Ruan Xiyan hadn't expected that there was a formation hidden beneath the City Lord's Mansion.
This formation is based on the entire city lord's mansion and can be described as ingenious. It seems that this formation is Zhai Hui's trump card.
"This is the Yin-Yang Yellow Springs Formation, which I have spent many years researching. Once the formation is activated, the formation will not be broken unless the person inside dies. You brat, no matter how great your abilities are, you can forget about escaping from this formation."
Zhai Hui stared at Ruan Xiyan, his teeth itching with hatred.
Ruan Xiyan did not show any panic on her face. She looked around and found that the surrounding scenery had changed.
I never expected Zhai Hui to be a formation master; that makes things even more interesting.
Hearing the enormous sound and the activation of the grand formation, the onlookers were filled with amazement.
"Who on earth is this person who could force Zhai Hui to such an extent that he even used the Yin-Yang Yellow Springs Formation?"
"I've heard that many powerful individuals died in this Yin-Yang Yellow Springs Formation in the past."
"Zhai Hui has used the formation to intercept and kill many powerful figures. To date, no one has ever been able to walk out of the formation alive."
The world inside the formation is constantly changing, and it is completely different from the world outside.
As soon as Ruan Xiyan took a step, countless fireballs attacked from all directions.
Playing with fire? She's not afraid.
The Glazed Demon Flame coalesced into a long black dragon, which spiraled out from Ruan Xiyan's body.
The black dragon hovered around Ruan Xiyan, roaring as it swallowed all the incoming fireballs.
After the black dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the fireball, Ruan Xiyan frowned slightly. No, it was fake.
The next moment, two skeletal hands emerged from the ground and tightly gripped Ruan Xiyan's anklets.
The fireballs around her had somehow turned into shadows, which then crashed into Ruan Xiyan's body.
The moment the shadow collided with her, Ruan Xiyan felt a tremor in her spiritual sea.
She stomped the two skeletal hands into powder with her foot and blasted the dark figure in front of her away with a punch.
Since her body has been able to withstand more demonic energy, her physical strength has become exceptionally strong, and her meridians have changed, seemingly exceeding the physique of an ordinary human.
More and more skeletons crawled out of the ground, and the surrounding shadows emitted a cacophony that could disturb one's mind.
The skeletons are for attacking the physical body, while these shadowy figures are for attacking the soul.
