474: Chapter 147: Ten Decisive Battles (Part 2)_1 474: Chapter 147: Ten Decisive Battles (Part 2)_1 Anya was not a mere warrior; like Ye Yinzhu, she also cultivated both magic and martial arts.
As the scion of the Elf Queen’s bloodline, her innate talent was fundamentally different from that of humans.
With a balance between magic and Douqi that could be said to be the strongest in Qin City apart from Ming, the rank Ten Demon Beast, even Zi could only just barely contend with Anya when showing his true form.
Ye Li was filled with amazement during the battle, watching Anya suddenly take to the sky.
He instantly grasped the meaning behind her words and, making a quick decision, shouted explosively as he too soared upwards.
His Purple Douqi burst forth, propelling him directly after the ascending Anya.
His Bamboo Sword transformed into a thousand arcs of purple rainbows, attacking Anya like an inverted cascade.
Seeing this, Ye Yinzhu, serving as the judge, knew that his grandfather had lost.
The very bat method he had just imparted to the Qin City warriors was the first to be used against his own grandfather.
In terms of bat skills and martial finesse, probably ten Anyas would not pare to his grandfather.
However, the difference in their fundamental strength was simply too vast.
The gap between the Second Rank Zi rank and the Eighth Rank Zi rank was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!
Indeed, as she flew upwards, Anya saw Ye Li ing at her and did not attempt to dodge in the slightest.
With a simple downward press of her hands, a deep purple light burst forth, resembling an unbreakable barrier.
It pletely blocked the radiant sword light speeding up from below.
Rings of intense purple halos burst forth in mid-air, like the most dazzling purple fireworks.
A series of rapid booms resonated, and Ye Yinzhu clearly saw that, as Anya’s deep purple light pressed down, his grandfather’s Bamboo Sword instantly condensed all the Douqi that had been present, spiraling into a tremendous vortex that swept forth.
“Whirlpool Bamboo Kill Slash?” Ye Yinzhu blurted out.
He was, of course, aware of this technique; it was one of the three strongest finishing moves within the Arrogant Bamboo Swordsmanship.
He felt somewhat ashamed that, although he had reached the Zi rank himself, he could not execute any of the three finishing moves.
An odd scene occurred.
As the giant purple vortex collided with the purple-black barrier, it veered suddenly, with only the edge of the vortex touching the barrier.
Harsh grating noises, like a saw swiftly cutting through, ensued, and a series of purple sparks burst forth from the collision, emanating dazzlingly from the varying shades of Purple Douqi.
To Anya’s shock, she found that despite being over six ranks stronger than Ye Li, her Douqi was intensely hot under the fierce cutting and even showed signs of shattering.
That was a difference of six ranks!
Anya knew all too well how terrible it would be if her Douqi were breached and fell into that fearsome vortex.
Even though she had anticipated the power of the martial skills from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, her estimation fell slightly short.
However, the difference in levels was too great.
If it were within a difference of three ranks, Ye Li could almost defeat any opponent, but the gap between him and Anya was six ranks.
Anya’s eyes turned a deep purple just as the Douqi barrier began to crumble.
In the next instant, another ring of strange purple halos emanated from her, this time it was not Douqi, but magic.
Mid-air, with nothing to borrow from, numerous deep-purple vines as thick as arms gushed downwards, resembling numerous giant cudgels as they pounded towards Ye Li’s Whirlpool Bamboo Kill Slash.
With a sound like shattering glass, the Eighth Rank Zi rank defensive barrier was utterly destroyed by the Whirlpool Bamboo Kill Slash, though Ye Li’s upward momentum slowed considerably.
In the next moment, a teeth-gritting cutting sound emerged within the huge vortex, as the flickering purple Bamboo Shadow vortex devoured those deep-purple vines at an unparalleled speed.
Neither magic nor Douqi could stop the fierce purple vortex.
The onlookers from Qin City in the distance couldn’t help but gasp in shock—now they understood why Ye Yinzhu was so cautious when admonishing them.
The three Golden Behemoths, who had been eager to try their luck in human form next to Zi, were speechless now.
Though they prided themselves on their amazing defensive power, seeing that formidable light slash, they couldn’t help feeling terrified.
Even the defense of a Golden Behemoth was not parable to the Eighth Rank Zi level Douqi.
If even that level of Douqi could not hold up, there was no hope for their own defenses.
However, despite the incredible power of the Whirlpool Bamboo Kill Slash, the gap in levels was still too significant.
Using the force of the magic’s downward push to rebound, Anya’s flying speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, she was out of the Whirlpool Bamboo Kill Slash’s range.
The two tones of purple swiftly separated, and Anya flipped in mid-air to watch Ye Li begin to plummet.
A look of shock flashed in her eyes.
Only Anya herself knew how dangerous that moment was just then; if Ye Li’s Whirlpool Bamboo Kill Slash reached inside her defenses before she could release her magic, she would have had no chance to retaliate at all.
The terrifying force of the Whirlpool Bamboo Kill Slash seemed to pletely disregard the disparity between their ranks.
As Ye Li was falling, he looked up, an age-worn face with eyes that shone with an unyielding light.
Though he knew he was less powerful than his opponent, he had never been one to accept defeat easily.
Reality, however, was cruel, and Ye Li knew he had ultimately lost.
When Ye Li landed on the ground and Anya was surrounded by rings of deep purple light in midair, everyone knew the battle was over.
The vast difference in rank, bined with Anya’s Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation, left Ye Li with no chance.
On the ground, he could only bee a target for Anya’s attacks.
Ye Li was still calm as he turned to Ye Yinzhu and said indifferently, “I’ve lost.”
Ye Yinzhu looked deeply at his grandfather and noticed that although Ye Li was somewhat unwilling to accept defeat, the depths of his eyes were filled with a relieved light.
Of course, this subtle meaning was only apparent to Ye Yinzhu who was in close proximity.
Although Supreme Elder Wei Ming felt some reluctance because of Ye Li’s defeat, he was more astonished by Anya’s cultivation.
He had never expected that among the Four Major Races of Qin City, there existed a superpower like Anya.
Eighth Rank Zi rank was a strength even the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans didn’t possess!
With such a formidable power, it was no wonder that Ye Yinzhu couldn’t pletely control them.
At that moment, Supreme Elder Wei Ming found himself understanding Ye Yinzhu’s insistent argumentation.
Since the duel had been decided, it had to continue.
When Ye Yinzhu announced Anya’s victory in the second match, he had thought that Supreme Elder Wei Ming would order his grandmother or grandfather to be the third participant.
To his surprise, the third contender from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans was the Head of Hua Sect from the Four Magic Sects, Wu Dao.
Wu Dao’s entrance into the arena was particularly peculiar, holding a massive Magic Staff, or rather, an enormous brush that was over two meters tall, even taller than himself.
The entire body of the brush, its material unknown, was brown while the bristles at the end were milky white.
His demeanor was very calm, even smiling casually, which made Ye Yinzhu uneasy.
He had seen plenty of Hua Sect’s bizarre magic from Ma Liang.
pared to the Head of Hua Sect, Ma Liang’s power was significantly weaker, and Ye Yinzhu couldn’t think of anyone from Qin City who could match the Sect Head’s endless summoning.
What surprised Ye Yinzhu greatly was that the contender from Qin City turned out to be a crimson figure.
Its monkey-like appearance seemed somewhat ical, but within the crimson, its eyes flickered a golden purple.
Red Spirit?
Anya and Zi actually sent the Crimson Spirit into battle?
Ye Yinzhu was dumbstruck as he watched the Crimson Spirit hop into the center of the arena, unable to understand why Anya would do such a thing.
Throw the match?
Impossible, the future stability of Qin City was at stake, and there was no way they would throw a match, especially not after having fairly defeated his grandfather.
With the battle against the Head of Hua Sect, who was unrelated to him, there was no possibility they would throw the match.
Ye Yinzhu was astonished, but Head of Hua Sect Wu Dao was even more surprised since he didn’t recognize the Magical Beast that Qin City had deployed.
The Eight Eastern Dragon Clans rarely dealt with Magical Beasts and even those who had a Magical Beast contract were few and far between.
Their efforts were not only spent on cultivation but also on the research of ancient Eastern Dragon martial skills and the creation of magic in Music, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting.
Seeing the Red Spirit hopping over so carefreely and its lack of a strong presence made Wu Dao cautious.
In his opinion, the more ordinary the enemy appeared, the more powerful they could potentially be, just like Anya who seemed like a graceful young woman, yet possessed the tremendous power of a Ninth Rank Zi rank.
The Red Spirit quickly arrived in front of its opponent, disregarded Wu Dao, and instead turned to Ye Yinzhu, eyes filled with hope and longing, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, are you well?
Allow me to give you a respectful salute.” As it spoke, the Red Spirit respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Yinzhu.
The Crimson Spirit harbored genuine respect for Ye Yinzhu, and the time it had spent in Qin City was the happiest in its life.
Here, without fear, constantly under the protection of some of the most powerful in the city, and the first to enjoy any rare minerals found, the respect everyone showed to it made its days joyful.
For the Red Spirit, life in Qin City was not merely satisfactory but deeply moving, and all that it now had was bestowed upon it by Ye Yinzhu.
