Li Xiao saw Gao Jiong get lifted by the True Phoenix. Her expression was grim, both hands hefting her spears and sweeping them forth.
Bright and hot blood spurted into her field of view. She had only just raised her hands when Gao Jiong was already in front of her, her saber slashing downwards, cleaving open Li Xiao’s armor, a wound deep enough to show bone.
The saber’s Star Energy flooded into her body. Li Xiao vomited blood.
This spurt of blood became the Heavenly Xuanzhao Star’s weapon the next moment. The Containment Seal devoured this blood and became blood-light that once again blossomed upon Li Xiao.
One slash.
Two slashes.
Three.
Gao Jiong’s grim expression had already become cold. The Star Weapon in her hands endlessly hacked into Li Xiao with the speed of a swift wind, leaving the Earthly Zhi Star without the strength to retaliate.
This was Gao Jiong’s Dark Rank “Vacuum Wind Fierce Slash.” Her saber rose and fell, the sound of wind howling, continuously assaulting Li Xiao.
After more than a dozen slashes, Li Xiao was already covered in wounds. She used the Snowy Night Milky Way Spear to barely keep from falling over.
Yellow Rank – Frost Scatterer.
Li Xiao endured the pain and raised her spear.
The wounds on Gao Jiong were also very severe, but the Heavenly Star’s Realm was sufficient to be placed above Li Xiao’s. The woman dashed forward, her hand bent as Containment Seal released multicolored light.
Frost Scatterer’s spear-light completely broke in a series of bangs.
Li Xiao screamed and continuously suffered Gao Jiong’s Yellow Rank.
The spectators sharply inhaled, chills running down their backs from head to toe. This was bad, Li Xiao was in danger. Chen Mo’s expression was grim as he clenched his fist.
“Xiaoxiao, hurry up and concede!!” Sun Yingmeng panicked.
Li Su spun and thrust her spear into Gao Jiong’s shoulder. The woman furrowed her brow, her expression increasingly upset. With turn of her wrist, Containment Seal cut Li Xiao again.
“Xiaoxiao, concede now, otherwise This Girl will end relations with you!!” If not for CHen Mo pulling her back, Sun Yingmeng would have rushed onto the platform.
Li Xiao continued to engage Gao Jiong, turning a deaf ear.
Chen Mo’s heart sank. Seeing her appearance, he knew that Li Xiao completely had no intentions of conceding. In her heart, this match could only end in victory or death. To make her withdraw was basically impossible.
“What do we do, Chen Mo. Hurry and think of a way to save Xiaoxiao. It’s already impossible for her to win.” Sun Yingmeng pleaded urgently.
“Right now is the critical juncture for Li Xiao’s Star Name to grow. She should have sensed it. That power is in her heart. If she concedes, she will lose it. I fear she won’t ever do such a thing.” Chen Mo could already guess from the girl’s expression she planned to fight until her last breath.
Tan Daoling’s face was solemn as she shook her head: “Li Xiao is too obsessed.”
Hearing their conversation, Sun Yingmeng was about to go mad. He never understood the pride of martial generals. She only knew that while there was life, there was still hope. “Li Xiao, Xiaoxiao, Li Su…” The girl shouted with all her might, hoping she could make that stupid martial general Li Xiao set aside her pride and recognize that conceding did not mean defeat.
…
“Li Su. A Single Character Star Name but has not comprehended a Phoenix level technique.” Su Mian read the information in the treasure book. This treasure book of hers was known as the Birth Treasure Outline, a Purple Rose Grade Star Treasure. Once the treasure book pointed at a Star General, it was able to discern the majority of a Star General’s hidden Star Name information.
Li Su was a Single Character Star Name, but she apparently had yet to comprehend Phoenix Earth Rank.
Of course, even if she comprehended it, to defeat Heavenly Xuanzhao Star Gao Jiong was a very separate matter.
…
“To be wasting so much time handling an Earthly Star, Yang Guang, your Nine Elders Of Sui should find some new blood.” The Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows indolently stretched and was full of derision for the battle on the stage.
Yang Guang’s expression was very unsightly. She originally called this Imperial Empress who bedded both men and women over to show off her might. The result was that in two rounds, one resulted in the unspeakable Starfall of Tuwan Xu, and the other was an unexpectedly very arduous faceoff against an Earthly Star.
Yang Guang clutched her armrest and nodded: “Fu Jian. You are indeed correct. I feel it is time to seek out new Star Generals.”
“Want This Palace to help make you a recommendation?” Fu Jian chuckled.
“The Sui Ye Star Kingdom still has Star Generals like ‘Wine Addicted General’ Wang Shiji and ‘Heavenly King Of Dongxia’ Zhang Xutuo. Her Majesty will naturally draw them in herself. No need for the Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows’ concern.” Yang Su faintly smiled.
“If you need help, feel free to speak with This Palace. Rou’er will definitely help you.” Fu Jian licked her lips as she gazed at the scholarly white-clothed woman, Yang Su, her gaze slightly aroused.
“Your Servant heard that a few years ago, Wang Meng went to the Outer Star Fields to apprehend someone and apparently let them escape? I wonder if that is true or not?” Yang Su changed the topic.
Fu Jian stopped smiling and coldly said: “An insignificant insect. They have already died.”
“Your Servant agrees. How could the Country Destroying Great General allow someone to escape.” Yang Su deferentially said.
The scantily clad woman standing beside Fu Jian had an abyss-like gaze, dark and unfathomable.
Meanwhile, Gao Jiong heard Yang Guang’s displeasure and realized she could not continue to be entangled. However, the Duke Wu Of Liang before her was honestly very stubborn. Gao Jiong had already cut her a hundred times, yet the girl still did not fall.
Use Heaven Rank?
This was impossible. Mount Hua’s martial arts competition was known to Star World. If word got out that she used Heaven Rank to kill an Earthly Star, that would be very disgraceful to herself.
Thinking quickly, Containment Seal filled with killing intent for a lightning-fast slash.
Li Xiao’s consciousness was increasingly hazy. An enormous hole was gouged in her cheek.
“If you want to die so badly, then I’ll oblige you!” Gao Jiong was infuriated.
Bzzzzz.1
Bzzzzz.
A grating hum suddenly emitted from the blade, like millions of bees beating their wings. This noise was extremely ear-piercing, penetrating the cultivators’ eardrums.
Li Xiao showed an expression of agony. Her mind was about to explode from this buzzing.
Starlight gathered on Gao Jiong’s Containment Seal. The saber-slate shook with ultrasonic noise.
Earth Rank?
Li Xiao’s expression greatly changed. Her hands gripped her spears.
Her Star Name flared in her body and mind.
Just a bit more.
Only a bit more. Li Xiao sensed that she was barely one step away from advancing in Realm. That power in her chest was about to break out. If she could not retreat, then she could only fight with all her might.
Seeing Li Xiao continue to struggle, Gao Jiong roared and moved her wrist.
Earth Rank.
“Ending Sadness Vanishing Worry.”2
Li Xiao’s body stiffened. Containment Seal had pierced her chest and penetrated through her back. The bloody blade jutted out of her back. The girl widened her eyes. All of her resistance and willpower sunk into the blade’s vortex. Her Star Name’s fire within her chest instantly dimmed.
Containment Seal’s power surged, and the buzzing began to resonate inside Li Xiao like sound waves.
Her organs, meridians, and her very life trembled under this power.
Am I going to die?
Li Xiao’s eyes went blank, and the world dimmed in her eyes.
She already had no strength whatsoever to resist the final blow of Gao Jiong’s Earth Rank/
“Xiaoxiao!! Li Xiao!! Li Su!! Bitch Xiao!!”
A furiously cursing voice gently smashed into the darkness of her heart like a rock, stirring a ripple. This weak ripple collided with the vortex created by Containment Seal’s killing intent, bitterly resisting.
Sun Yingmeng!
Li Xiao recognized this voice.
Mengmeng.
Li Xiao recalled the times this friend scaled the mountain to harvest herbs and scoured the embankments for turtles. Her heart, skewered by the saber, seemed to beat. Gao Jiong grunted and increased her Star Energy to restroy the last of her life.
“This Lady did not feed you medicinal soup in vain. Bitch Xiaoxiao, for This Lady, you must live!!”
Sun Yingmeng’s voice, shouted with all her might, was more gut-wrenching than the weapon currently embedded within Li Xiao.
This kind of pain provoked Li Xiao’s survival instinct.
That weak Star Name flame in her body suddenly roared to life and surged into her head.
“Too late!!” Gao Jiong’s saber thrust through Li Xiao’s body, ripping apart her internal organs.
But Li Xiao did not feel this pain. All of her pain became a powerful energy that spread through her arms. She twirled her spears like a hurricane of ice.
The ice-cold spear-wind became an extremely dazzling and gorgeous starlight that pierced through everything.
A phoenix spread its wings on her back, reborn.
“What??”
Everyone was stunned.
This absolutely beautiful starlight was like a galaxy that descended from the millions of stars in the sky, severing a portion of the Star Field.
Phoenix Earth Rank.
“Fissure In The Stars”3
Gao Jiong was heavily battered by this Phoenix Earth Rank Fissure In The Stars, knocking her above the nine firmaments. She only felt that her internal organs were already torn apart. The woman stepped in midair, her gaze furious. A frightening crack like a giant moat was in her exquisite armor.
Her Star Energy leaked continuously out from this gap.
Li XIao looked at Gao Jiong. The two of them locked eyes. The corner of the girl’s mouth slightly curved. A glint flickered in her vacant eyes, but immediately afterwards, she collapsed in a pool of her own blood, completely silent.
Gao Jiong landed on Ascending Heaven’s Summit. She lowered her head to look at her own chest wound, her expression filled with fury.
“Your HIghness Mian, Xiaoxiao is already unable to continue battle.” Sun Yingmeng urgently called out.
“The Sui Ye Star Kingdom’s Heavenly Xuanzhao Star Gao Jiong has won this round.” Su Mian nodded.
Hearing her declaration, Chen Mo and Sun Yingmeng rushed onto the arena. When Sun Yingmeng saw Li Xiao was already at death’s door, the color drained from her face. She immediately used the Spirit Hinge Ice Heart to prick her body and activate healing arts: “Xiaoxiao, say something.”
Li Xiao was barely breathing, her life at the precipice of death.
“Take her back to Mount Hua for healing right now.”
“I will take Mengmeng there.” Tan Daoji grabbed Sun Yingmeng and Li Xiao, activating an escape technique to rush for Mount Hua.
Gao Jiong recovered her scowling expression. Unable to kill Li Xiao left her a bit disappointed, but it seemed the girl did not have much longer to live. After a bow, Gao Jiong descended the platform.
“A pity.” Yang Su softly said.
The Sui Ye Star Kingdom’s Tuwan Xu had Starfallen. To be unable to make one of Mount Hua’s Star Generals Starfall in the second round was a bit displeasing.
“Your Servant has blundered.” Gao Jiong blamed herself.
“Hmph.” The Tyrant was displeased.
Yang Su softly said: “Ying’er, you cannot blame yourself for this. After all, using Heaven Rank against an Earthly Star damages one’s Star Name. This Li Su was actually very determined to be able to comprehend Phoenix Earth Rank at the last moment.”
“Recuperate for now.” Yang Su saw that Gao Ying’er was a bit beaten. That chest wound was particularly severe. Even if she was a Heavenly Star, “Vice Minister Of Ceremonies” cut a very sorry figure.
Gao Ying grunted. Looking at this wound, her eyes were a bit bitter.
She knew that although she defeated her opponent, this final wound would be a scar upon her honor as a proud martial general for a very long time.
“Enough with the faintheartedness. No matter who Mount Hua sends next, I will fill this arena with her blood and make her Starfall.”
An icily arrogant voice was somewhat disdainful of the two prior matches.
A lofty woman strode forth. She wore armor and a cloak and had an awe-inspiring presence. Her suan’ni golden armor boots released a domineering airflow with every step, making the Ascending Heaven’s Summit quake.
The woman stood on Ascending Heaven’s Summit, her saber immediately shaking all in the world.
Even Lords Of Heaven were afraid to draw breath before her power.
“Whoever is sent next to die, they had best be an interesting opponent. For example…Law protector Gao!”
The girl disdainfully scoffed at Mount Hua.
The Sui Ye Star Kingdom’s third Star General was finally a Single Character Heavenly Star, and she was also one of the Nine Elders Of Sui’s three strongest generals. She was a character even Li Guang felt was troublesome and headache-inducing.
She.
Was Heavenly Slow Star.
“Self-proclaimed Great General” Heruo Bi!
