Chapter 5825: Liu Ruyan's Unease
In an instant, Lan Yin transformed into a fiery demon, emanating a fierce and murderous aura that shocked Huaishan and the others.
Who would have thought that the Demon Eye Water Lily Clan could control the Flame of the Inferno and that their powers could harmonize to such an extent? The black flames filled the entire arena, scorching the heavens with terrifying heat. People felt a piercing pain in their souls. Flames had a strong inherent restraint on those with wood-based abilities, but the Demon Eye Water Lily Clan, also belonging to the wood element, could control it. Even the beautiful woman couldn't help but be moved.
"Boom!"
Amidst the endless flames, there was a deafening explosion, and Liu Ruyan, who had been engulfed by the flames, reappeared. At this moment, a three-meter-tall emerald willow swayed behind Liu Ruyan. The tender branches swayed in the wind, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth like spring willow leaves swaying freely. This was Liu Ruyan's omen, a seemingly insignificant young willow tree, but Long Chen could sense almost boundless vitality emanating from it. The willow branches swayed gently, like a maiden's delicate hand waving in the air. It exuded a gentle and peaceful aura, along with a strange sense of holiness. As it appeared, the evil aura that had filled the arena and was suppressing the surroundings suddenly dissipated, no longer affecting the people nearby.
"Miss Ruyan is so powerful," the disciples of the Undying Dragon Elm Clan exclaimed with excitement. They had been worried about Liu Ruyan before because Lan Yin's displayed power was too horrifying. Even from such a distance, they could feel the suffocating pressure. If the enemy dared to provoke, they must have the strength to back it up, or else they wouldn't come here to make a spectacle.
"Finally, you've displayed your omen power, huh? Impressive, but it's still in its infancy, and yet it possesses such terrifying strength. But to defeat me won't be that easy!" Lan Yin's body was surrounded by endless black flames, his eyes filled with a sinister light. Suddenly, he formed hand seals.
"Boom!"
The space abruptly distorted, and a massive spatial gate appeared. When the gate opened, a colossal head emerged from it.
"It's the true Flame of the Inferno."
As soon as that head emerged, Long Chen recognized its aura.
"Rumble, rumble..."
It was a black giant python with flames flowing all over its body, as if it had just emerged from molten lava.
"Whoosh."
Lan Yin leaped onto the black python's back, and in that moment, his aura merged with the black python's.
"Is that his summoned creature?" one of the disciples from the Undying Dragon Elm Clan exclaimed in amazement.
"It looks like it. The fact that the Demon Eye Water Lily Clan can summon creatures from the Flame of the Inferno lineage indicates that they have completely aligned themselves with the Flame of the Inferno lineage," answered a powerful Undying Ming Willow Clan member.
From a high vantage point, Lan Yin gazed at Liu Ruyan and said, "See that? This is my true strength. It's only when I'm together with my summoned creature that my Flame of the Inferno power can be unleashed to its fullest. Now, even if I encounter a late-stage Divine Emperor from the Undying clan, I have the power to fight them. Though I can't guarantee victory against you, even as an Imperial Miao, you would need to pay a price..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a halo appeared in front of him. Inside the halo, a willow branch stretched out and pierced through both the head of the monstrous snake and Lan Yin.
"What?!"
At that moment, the members of the Demon Eye Water Lily Clan were shocked. Even those who were not at the late-stage Divine Emperor level had their pupils contract at the sight. They watched the small halo, only about the size of a table, and then noticed a similar halo appearing beside Liu Ruyan.
A willow branch extended into one halo, and another willow branch emerged from the other halo, piercing through both the monstrous snake and Lan Yin, despite the two halos being hundreds of miles apart.
"Space manipulation?" Long Chen also couldn't help but be surprised. According to his understanding, regardless of how far apart the two halos were, Liu Ruyan's attacks had no delay. This was different from teleportation arrays, which were the simplest and most basic form of spatial manipulation. Teleportation required the construction of a stable and secure spatial channel, moving from one place to another, and took some time. It was like shooting an arrow; from the moment it left the bowstring to hitting the target, regardless of the distance, it still had a process.
However, Liu Ruyan's spatial manipulation was different. It was like a stick – when you pushed one end, the other end moved simultaneously without any delay.
"I'm afraid this has already crossed into my area of ignorance!" Long Chen was both surprised and excited. This move had opened a new door for him to explore a new world.
"You talk a lot, but you don't have much real power. Are you joking with your life? With your limited strength, do you really think you have the qualification to challenge me? Who gave you the courage?" Liu Ruyan looked at Lan Yin with a cold expression.
"Crack, crack, crack..." The willow branch that had pierced through Lan Yin's body seemed like a rope, binding him tightly. It made his body creak as if his bones were about to shatter. The monstrous snake that had been pierced through had rapidly withered, ultimately turning into ashes that scattered on the ground. The summoned snake hadn't even had a chance to unleash its power, and now only Lan Yin remained.
Lan Yin, who was now securely bound by the slender willow branch, couldn't free himself no matter how hard he struggled. His body was surrounded by raging flames, but he couldn't break free.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lan Yin suddenly stopped struggling and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Alright, I admit that there's a certain gap between us and the Imperial Miao, but to kill me? You're still a bit green."
As he said this, Liu Ruyan's expression changed slightly. Then, the willow branch abruptly exerted force.
"Boom!"
Lan Yin's body was directly crushed by the willow branch, and blood-like juice splattered everywhere. However, when Long Chen looked at the Demon Eye Water Lily Clan, he saw that Lan Yin, whose face had turned pale as paper, had returned to his original form.
"This substitution technique is quite impressive," Long Chen thought to himself. Even he couldn't discern how this move was executed. However, it seemed that this art, known as the Golden Cicada shedding its shell, came with a cost, likely taking a significant toll on the practitioner. It was a unique ability of the Demon Eye Water Lily Clan.
Liu Ruyan hadn't managed to kill Lan Yin, and a faint ripple of concern appeared in her calm eyes.
Just then, the elder from the Dà luó Green Lotus Clan spoke, "We lost the first round. Now, let the second round begin."
With a sigh, the elder's voice signaled the start of the second round. A giant, towering figure like an iron tower stepped onto the stage.
