Outside QuanTai City, numerous disciples from the Wugen Sect, the Heavenly Master Mansion, and the Immortal Court gathered on both sides.
They were here to watch the battle.
Of course, given their status as the defeated army, they were not qualified to enter QuanTai City.
Only Yan Xingchen and Li Yu could enter the city to watch the battle from the Observation Platform.
Fortunately, with a King-level duel, the fluctuations were too great, likely causing some damage to the city, so it was held outside, allowing them to witness it.
Ji Ru stood silently in the wilderness outside the city after sending Cao Guanxiu with the challenge document.
Though she already knew nothing would happen, she still prepared to give it her all.
She was the last one to enter the Death Realm during the gathering, so her strength hadn’t improved as much as others.
This battle would be her first since arriving in the Death Realm, and her first opponent was Chen Qing, who had now dominated the Death Realm and become the Lord of the Dead World.
According to the information Xu Yaofeng secretly revealed, she should first strip Chen Qing’s Fatian Xiangdi, preventing him from using his strongest divine skills.
Then, Chen Qing would symbolically make seven moves.
Holding back, he might, but as a Grandmaster wielding the Heavenly Punishment, Chen Qing,
even when holding back, still had the power to slay a King.
Yan Xingchen did not choose to enter the city and watch the battle from the Observation Platform inside.
If they went, they could only sit at the end and face sneers from Nanli’s generals.
Moreover, there was some awkwardness from blending into the enemy ranks.
So they chose to stay outside instead.
As the fierce battle approached, Yan Xingchen advised, "Princess, remember when to use the appropriate talismans!"
Ji Ru nodded, "Yes, I will use all three talismans!"
Li Yu said, "Don’t be stingy; for Taiyi, ah no, for Lord Wen, this is merely a challenge."
"But for you, Princess, this is a deadly battle, those three divine lights from the Immortal Court must be used!"
To help Ji Ru withstand seven moves, both the Immortal Court and the Heavenly Master Mansion employed some measures.
The Heavenly Master Mansion sent the strongest talisman that could be used in the Ghost Face Realm, while the Immortal Court provided three strands of divine light.
At this moment, the sound of hooves echoed from the city gate, a hundred Dragon Cavalry charged out, prompting the crowd to step back several paces, not daring to directly face the might of the Dragon Cavalry.
Although only a hundred came, everyone clearly knew that just these hundred could devastate the entire Death Realm.
It was said that Xuan Mang had long lamented the lack of opportunities to slay a King with the Dragon Cavalry, hoping for a chance to do so.
The Dragon Cavalry possessed the power to encircle and kill a King-level. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Clearing the way with a hundred Dragon Cavalry, Chen Qing rode out on a Green Bull, arriving at the front positions, casting a sidelong glance at Ji Ru, and remarked, "Turned out to be a little girl after all."
"Is Da Yan without men?"
"Is the Immortal Court without men?"
"Is the Heavenly Master Mansion without men?"
"You actually sent a little girl to challenge me?"
Chen Qing’s tiger-like eyes swept the entire field, suppressing everyone to the point they couldn’t lift their heads.
He let out a cold laugh, "Fine, seeing that you, a little girl, have the courage to challenge me, Qing Shan, stand by and wait."
"I won’t use my mount, I will fight you on foot!"
Chen Qing dismounted from the Green Bull, reached for his sword, and Heavenly Punishment was in hand.
"I will count to three, after three, we will start!"
"Three!"
Yan Xingchen and Li Yu looked simultaneously at the frail figure of Ji Ru; their Da Yan Alliance had placed all their bets on this battle.
"Princess, you must hold on!"
Every Da Yan cultivator present to watch shared this sentiment.
Conversely, on the city walls watching, Nanli’s entourage, though intimidated by Chen Qing’s authority, dared not sit but still appeared exceedingly relaxed.
Chen Qing continued to count, "Two!"
At the word "two," Ji Ru finally reacted, the Xiezhi Dharma Body descended, and Ji Ru, as if holding heavenly power, proclaimed, "Before the Xiezhi, no impudence!"
"Fatian Xiangdi, strip!"
Chen Qing immediately felt an invisible chain locking him down; indeed, Fatian Xiangdi could no longer be used.
But he was not without options; by forcibly using Ji Dang’s soul-attacking method to disrupt the opponent’s spells, he could seize a chance to break free.
Then, with one sword, resolve everything.
It seemed the host of Xiezhi still needed a stronger protector nearby in critical moments.
This was extremely suitable for two-on-one battles, an absolute kill.
If Chen Qing and Ji Ru cooperated, even a Mystic Gate Realm would fall instantly, an outright instant kill.
Chen Qing feigned a frown of great surprise, "Xiezhi!"
"Da Yan actually allowed you to contract even this King Gu!"
"Looks like I need to use some real skills!"
Ji Ru waved her hand to take up a talisman, the Immortal Family’s True Law Five Thunders Spell!
Above, the clear sky suddenly descended five thunderbolts as thick as buckets aimed at Chen Qing.
With a flicker, Chen Qing vanished into the void, appearing behind Ji Ru, slashing diagonally with his sword as he reached her!
Giant Sword Skill!
Heavenly Punishment surged with a crimson Seven Killings Sword Gang, unmatched in power.
With a single slash, two Golden Light Spell talismans on Ji Ru lit up, forming two golden bells enveloping her.
The might of the Seven Killings Sword Gang directly broke through the two golden lights, the two talismans shattered instantly.
The aftermath blasted Ji Ru, sending her crashing into the city wall, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Yan Xingchen was shocked beyond words, "This was just the first move, and she already used up three talismans, disastrous!"
All those watching were startled, marveling at the unmatched power of the Heavenly Punishment Sword Gang.
This was a sword that could cleave through Li Chonghuan’s Overbearing King Sword with ease!
