What caused the middle-aged cultivator to be even more surprised was that the youth had actually broken through the barrier set up by his Aurous Core stage disciple and was looking in his direction. After seeing Qing Xue, he revealed a bright and warm smile.

"He really is a genius."

The middle-aged cultivator withdrew his divine sense and praised.

"How is it, Master?" Am I right? "

Qingxue laughed complacently.

"After this competition, just recruit him into the Qing Ling Sect."

"Nonsense." If they could recruit him into the Qing Ling Sect. Do you still have the mood to cultivate? "

The middle-aged cultivator stretched out his smooth and slender fingers and flicked Qing Xue's nose.

Two hours had passed and over a thousand people had been eliminated from the competition.

Just when everyone was enthusiastically discussing who would be the champion.

The referee stood up on stage with a cold expression and continued to announce, "Next match, Nian Lu from the Sky Profound Sect against Zhu Jie from the God Fire Sect."

"Oh. Oh. "Oh."

A passionate cheer rose from below.

"Good brother, do your best."

Lin Yu clapped his hands and pushed Nian Lu onto the stage.

After Nian Lu got on stage, he did not greet his opponent politely at all.

Instead, he quickly walked in front of the cold referee, lifted him up with one hand and shouted, "If you dare call me Nian Lu from the Sky Profound Sect again, I'll kill you."

Good heavens …

Mysterious.

He bit the word 'door' so hard that Lin Yu could hear a deep hatred within it.

On the other side of the jade throne where the Profound Sky Sect was located, a dignified and white-clothed cultivator had a gloomy expression. He waved his hand to summon a disciple and ordered in a low voice: "After the competition, capture Nian Lu and the fellow who is following him."

"I will make them beg for death."

"Rogue cultivator Nian Lu, eighth level precelestial. "To challenge fellow Daoist."

Nian Lu followed Lin Yu to train with Wang Lin at the Burial Ground. Their gains were great as well, as their cultivation went from the fifth level to the eighth level.

"Divine Flame Sect's Zhu Jie, Houtian ninth stage."

Zhu Jie cupped his hands in a gift.

"Boom!"

Nian Lu stomped on the ground, the hard boulder emitted a loud sound, as if it was going to explode.

With his left hand, he picked up his purple sword and attacked Zhu Jie first.

Nian Lu's body was like a sharp sword, with the fastest speed possible, he pierced towards Zhu Jie, with the intent of crippling him.

Zhu Jie laughed coldly, not the slightest bit of fear in his heart. He actually went as far as to meet Nian Lu head on as well.

It came straight at Nian Lu!

At the same time, in Zhu Jie's palm, balls of fireballs suddenly exploded out. The fireballs congealed into a solid mass, and fiercely smashed towards Nian Lu.

boom rumble rumble *

One after another of the yellow fireballs bombarded the purple sword that Nian Lu was blocking, causing Nian Lu's violent momentum to falter.

Taking this opportunity, the Spirit Qi in Zhu Jie's body surged once again, and after the fireball's attack, he suddenly appeared in front of Nian Lu.

The intertwining flames in the sky magically formed a fire net, covering Nian Lu's body in an instant.

"I heard that Divine Flame Sect's Zhu Jie is the reincarnation of the Fire Phoenix, the little cultivator with the sword would definitely suffer a loss."

On the jade platform, some of the Sect Leaders commented.

Nian Lu's body was tightly wrapped in the fire net. He struggled with all his might, but was unable to struggle free in such a short period of time.

And at this time, Zhu Jie's fireballs, one after another, struck his body, causing him to continuously retreat.

Zhu Jie rushed forward again, closing in on Nian Lu. Using both hands and feet, he bombarded Nian Lu crazily, continuously punching and kicking him.

Blood trickled out from the corner of Nian Lu's mouth. The intertwining fire net directly bound him, leaving him with no chance to fight back at all.

This one-sided battle left everyone stunned.

"What's going on?"

"That sword-wielding kid looks pretty strong. How come he got beaten up?"

"That's right, that kid playing with fire looks ordinary and ordinary." Why is he so powerful? "

Everyone began to discuss with one another.

"Nian Lu, use your left hand."

Lin Yu's heart was filled with anxiety, as he shouted out a warning to Nian Lu.

A ray of light shone in his mind, as if Nian Lu had come to his senses, the purple sword in his hand continued to shine with light.

Zhu Jie stood at the side with a proud expression, and ridiculed Nian Lu's actions.

In almost an instant, wisps of fire bloomed out of his body. Those wisps of fire quickly condensed, and in just a second, those fire wisps turned into numerous fire serpents.

It quickly attacked towards Nian Lu.

"Haaargh!"

Nian Lu called out lightly, the purple sword in his hand turned in a strange arc, first slashing away the fire serpents, and then slicing apart all the fire net on his body.

"Kid, your fire is very strong! In the battles that follow, I hope that you can continue to grow stronger. "

Nian Lu's face was pale white, his mouth carrying a cold smile, the purple sword in his left hand continued to flutter, dazzling the onlookers.

"You'll know soon enough whether it's strong or not."

Zhu Jie shook his head and laughed, showing a trace of ridicule on his face.

"Hah!"

Just then, Zhu Jie suddenly bellowed out, countless fire serpents appeared on his body, and as if they were living beings, they coiled towards Nian Lu.

"This is bad!"

A cultivator below exclaimed.

"Here it comes again! "Quick, dodge."

"Sizzle sizzle!"

One after another, thumb-thick fire serpents suddenly separated as if they were alive, winding towards Nian Lu from all directions, not giving him any space to escape.

Nian Lu was not afraid, he stared coldly at Zhu Jie, with a flick of his wrist, the purple sword flew out, like a bolt of lightning, it swept across the sky and cut apart the fire serpents.

"What a weak attack." Are you even worthy of playing with fire? You are so weak that you can't even be compared to ants. "

naturally mercilessly taunted his opponent who had just almost killed him.

"I want you dead!"

Hearing the ridicule, Zhu Jie roared out in rage, the potential in his body suddenly erupted, and a faint flame symbol appeared on his forehead. Blood flowed from his mouth, as he continuously chanted an incantation.

"Summon the true body of the King with my blood."

"I, Zhu Jie, the son of the phoenix, am willing to spend ten years of my life to summon the phoenix.

As the incantation landed, many strange symbols that burned with flames emerged from Zhu Jie's body.

Zhu Jie's face was pale white, with a face of piety. Large patches of white hair began to appear on his originally jet-black hair.

He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Clouds began rolling in the originally clear blue sky. Large fiery clouds appeared, and the entire sky was dyed blood-red.

The sound of thunder resounded, and a flaming wing that covered half the sky, with a terrifying pressure, slowly condensed under the clouds.

Every time it solidified a little, Zhu Jie would vomit out a mouthful of vital blood.

Nian Lu looked at the sky blankly. He did not have the time to sneak an attack on Zhu Jie, and like the rest of the audience, he, too, was stunned by the abnormal sign in the sky.

Some of the weaker sect heads couldn't withstand the frightening pressure and vomited blood.

"Jie Er, stop. Your current strength is not enough to summon the Phoenix true body. "

An old man suddenly stood up from the jade seat of the God Fire Sect and shouted loudly.

"Hahaha."

Zhu Jie was infatuated with the giant fiery wings in the eyes, as if he was looking at his most beloved lover.

"Hello, Ancestor Grandfather. Did you see that? I am the Divine Flame Sect's number one genius. "

"I summoned the Phoenix Physique twenty years before Big Brother."

Zhu Jie shouted crazily, he had already lost his basic willpower.

"Scoundrel, stop."

"Phoenix true body, requires at least an Aurous Core stage to be summoned."

"If you do this, you will only attract divine retribution."

The old man from the Divine Flame Sect looked at Zhu Jie who was in a frenzy.

"Haha." Grandpa, you're wrong. "

"In the Forbidden Canon of the Divine Fire Cult, using lifespan to summon a phoenix is really a method."

Zhu Jie laughed with his hair down.
