On the ground, Chen Yi raised his head to look at Lu Manling with a grin on his face. The next moment, he stomped heavily on the ground and flew into the air.

His speed was extremely fast, almost instantly reducing the distance between him and Lu Manling by half.

Lu Manling's Bloodline Power did not transform her body. Lu Manling's body was the same as an ordinary Qi warrior's; she was definitely much stronger than an ordinary person. However, compared to a Qi warrior who specialized in body tempering, she was far weaker.

This was probably the reason why Lu Manling was covered by the golden red flames. At any rate, she could act as a shield.

However, this block was only for ordinary martial artists, or other special bloodline Awakened ones who did not raise the strength of their body.

Chen Yi's [Burning Demon Body] strengthened his body, and Lu Manling's golden flames were unable to harm Chen Yi. Therefore, when Lu Manling saw Chen Yi flying towards her, her expression changed.

The pure golden fire wings on her back flapped rapidly and she retreated. However, these wings were not from her body, but from the [Fire Phoenix Body]. Lu Manling did not have full control over the [Fire Phoenix Body], so her agility was limited.

The only advantage they had was that they were able to stand tall in the air and almost invincible against ordinary Lesser Heaven stage experts.

How could an ordinary Lesser Heaven stage martial practitioner fly?

Therefore, Lu Manling quickly discovered that even if she moved backwards, it would still be difficult for her to dodge Chen Yi's punch.

Chen Yi was too fast!

Lu Manling stretched out her hand and made a grasping motion in the air. The pure golden flames condensed into a flaming shield in the air in front of him.

In the next moment, Lu Manling took out the [Moonhowl Sword] that Du Rujiao had given her.

"Heaven's Path Divine Art!"

Lu Manling stopped retreating as the scarlet-gold flame attached itself to the [Howling Moon Sword] and slashed at Chen Yi.

Boom!

Chen Yi first shattered the Scarlet Gold Fire Shield with a punch, then with his other hand wielding a sword, he used black flames to attach himself to the [Violet Rain Sword].

In the end, Chen Yi couldn't fly. After the force that helped him jump into the sky weakened, he couldn't help but fall down.

Lu Manling took the opportunity to kick Chen Yi in the chest, causing Chen Yi to fall heavily from the sky and create a huge human-shaped crater on the ground with a boom.

Lu Manling did not hesitate to transform the scarlet golden flames into streaks of golden fire swords, blasting them into the human shaped hole one after another.

In an instant, the human-shaped crater transformed into an even larger crater amidst the rumbling sounds. The earth split into pieces, and scarlet golden flames shot out from the cracks.

Chen Yi jumped out of the pit with a flash of a black shadow, causing Lu Manling's eyes to widen.

Because Chen Yi still didn't do too much damage.

Most cultivators, even if they were at the Heavenly Axis Realm, would be severely injured if they were to fall from the sky. At most, they would only be able to circulate their zhenqi to resist the shock, but even so, it was impossible for them to not be injured.

At least, the moment it collided violently with the ground, the vibrational force would cause the internal organs of the body to be injured.

However, Chen Yi's body was as strong as a high-grade human-step divine weapon. A high-grade human-step divine weapon was extremely tough. Even a high-grade human-step divine weapon would be fine if it was thrown several hundred meters in the air, much less a few dozen meters away.

Chen Yi was a similar case.

Compared to ordinary body refining martial arts, [Burning Demon Body] finally displayed its terrifying aspects. His enhancement was an all-rounded enhancement, including the internal organs in his body. Under the strengthening from the [Burning Demon Body] 's Burning Demon Power, it had also increased to an extremely powerful level.

It was impossible to have the same physical strength as the outside, but it was also impossible to have the same weak internal organs as ordinary martial artists and body tempering martial artists.

As for the Pure Gold Fire Sword, that was not a sacred art. It was just a change in the flames condensed by Lumen's [Body of the Fire Phoenix].

This was just a change in shape, not in quality. Although the power had increased, it still wouldn't be able to go against the heaven's will.

As a result, Lu Manling's follow-up attack had yet to cause much damage to Chen Yi.

Lu Manling unwillingly condensed more Pure Gold Fire Swords and dropped them from the sky.

Chen Yi executed his movement technique, [Pursuing Shadow], dodging the Pure Gold Fire Swords one by one.

In terms of speed alone, Chen Yi was already no weaker than an ordinary cultivator at the first level of the Refinement Realm, not to mention he had even used the movement technique [Pursuing Shadow].

Ordinary little cycles wouldn't be able to detect Chen Yi's movements at all.

Of course, Lu Manling could not be compared to ordinary people with little cycles. Even so, she could not see clearly.

Gradually, Lu Manling's face turned slightly pale. She finally realized that it was impossible to hurt Chen Yi with the [Fire Phoenix Body] 's Primordial Power, Scarlet Gold Flame. On the contrary, it had consumed a lot of her energy.

If this carried on, she would probably exhaust her true qi and physical strength before Chen Yi.

Even if her martial arts realm was small, and she practiced an Earth Realm cultivation technique, it would still be the same.

Therefore, Lu Manling was no longer obsessed with attacking Chen Yi in the sky. In the sky, she also had her shortcomings. She could not fight against Chen Yi in close combat with swordsmanship.

Lu Manling's long-range attack relied on the power of her bloodline. She relied on the Primordial Power of the [Fire Phoenix Physique], which was pure gold in color, and released flames, not true energy.

Therefore, Lu Manling could not slash out a zhen qi sword attack like an Upper Sky warrior.

The crimson-gold flames attached themselves to the sword, and as the true energy entered the sword, it naturally became more powerful.

However, after slashing out the Flame Sword Qi, the Flame Sword Qi was essentially still a crimson-gold flame. The power of the flames was much weaker than that of the Crimson Gold Fire Sword.

Lu Manling landed on the ground. She also put away the scarlet gold fire wings on her back, saving a bit of her true qi and physical strength.

In the next moment, Lumen moved like a rabbit, floating like a god. He approached Chen Yi in an unbelievable way and at a high speed.

Chen Yi also rushed towards Lu Manling.

In that instant, the black fire and the scarlet golden fire clashed. The two of them twined their respective flames around the divine sword.

"Heaven's Path Divine Art!"

"Ingurgitation of Rainbow!"

"Penetrating Rainbow!"

If there were any other Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists here, they would have been flabbergasted. With their eyesight, they would only be able to see the black and golden rays of light fiercely fighting each other.

Chen Yi was getting faster and faster, and it was getting harder and harder for Lu Manling to defend herself.

He clearly didn't have such a powerful sword technique when he was fighting with his senior brother in the Xuan Ying Pavilion, and he also didn't have such a terrifying speed. How could he be so …

Furthermore …

Lu Manling suddenly slashed her sword at Chen Yi, taking advantage of Chen Yi's dodging to leap backwards.

She touched her palm without leaving a trace, and was in incomparable pain.

Chen Yi's strength was much stronger than Lu Manling's. He also had superior zhenqi, so every strike carried great power.

After all, Lu Manling was a woman. Her swordsmanship focused on agility, so how could she withstand the great strength of Chen Yi?

Fortunately, Lu Manling had her advantages. Her high-grade Mortal Realm swordsmanship was at the peak. Although it was only at the level of mastery, it was still much stronger than Chen Yi's Flowing Rainbow.

The third move, [Ingurgitation Rainbow], was only a high-grade ordinary sword art.

The fourth move, [Penetrating Rainbow], was only on the same level as Lu Manling's sword art. However, Chen Yi had yet to master the fourth move.

Even with the fragments of the Path-Understanding Stone, it was not easy to level up a sword art like [Qi Penetrating Rainbow].

After all, Chen Yi only had six small meridians.

In addition, Lu Manling also practiced an Earth Realm cultivation technique. Although the quality of her true qi was not as good as Chen Yi's, it was much more majestic than Chen Yi's true qi, and her recovery ability was also better than Chen Yi's.

This was the reason why Lu Manling could compete with Chen Yi in so many sword moves.

But both Lu Manling and Chen Yi knew that if this went on, Lu Manling would lose.

After Lu Manling had retreated, her eyes were filled with rage. She had never thought that the trouble she had caused Chen Yi would end up like this.

A mere six meridians was actually so difficult to deal with!

She took a deep breath and opened her eyes again. Her eyes were filled with indifference.

Chen Yi's eyes turned cold. He could feel that when Lu Manling stood up once again with her sword in hand, an imposing aura that could pierce through the heavens surged forth!

With Lu Manling as the center, a terrifying aura surged in all directions.

When this aura swept past Chen Yi, he felt a heavy pressure pressing down on him.

He raised his head and looked at Lu Manling. It was as if a giant sword had appeared behind her back. The tip of the sword was pointed at him from afar, causing his entire body to feel as if it was being pierced.

"Could it be …" This is the power of Sword Force? " Chen Yi was extremely shocked.
