615: not enough

"How audacious! Do you really think I, Hua Manque, am made of mud?"

From the carved stone seats on the periphery, Hua Manque, dressed in a pink robe, scowled and looked towards the largest circular platform in the center.

"Good! I shall grant your wish!"

Hua Manque let out a low shout, his figure flickered, and like a pink meteor, he plunged directly into the mysterious light that enveloped the circular platform.

"Just now, I heard of the Five Young Masters. My brief exchange with Young Master Hua was not satisfying enough. Young Master Hua, please enlighten me with your teachings."

Opposite Hua Manque, Qi Ming, dressed in a blue robe, had a faint smile on his face, his hands clasped behind his back. He spoke these words, but his tone carried a hint of mockery.

"Heh~"

"That Fellow Daoist Qi dares not step down, yet he sends an unknown person like you to challenge me. Why doesn't he come down himself?"

Hua Manque's Aura surged forth, his Aura condensing, pressing down towards Qi Ming opposite him.

"If you wish to contend with my Young Master, we shall see if you are even worthy."

Qi Ming shook his head disdainfully.

In a mere Eastern Desolate Borderland, he truly didn't believe there could be any peerless Genius.

"Alright, then I shall defeat you. We'll see if Fellow Daoist Qi can still remain seated then..."

"One move to decide the victor!"

Hua Manque let out a low shout, not wishing to entangle with this Qi Ming for too long.

Otherwise, wouldn't it diminish his own standing?

"Young Master Hua speaks with great arrogance. Then, let it be as you wish."

Qi Ming, dressed in a blue robe, spoke with a slightly deeper voice.

"Flying flowers like stars, plucking leaves to claim lives!"

Hua Manque's Aura suddenly surged.

On the huge circular platform, pink petals covered the area, drifting down from above.

Among the pink petals, there were scattered green shimmering fallen leaves interspersed.

The fallen leaves were like blades, concealing killing intent, yet they were hidden by the falling petals.

Making it difficult for people to detect the danger within.

"Azure Water Chill!"

Opposite, a vast Aura seemed to rise from Qi Ming, and the Water Origin Qi in the Void Realm converged towards the huge circular platform.

"Roar!"

A faint beast roar echoed.

Behind Qi Ming, a phantom of a Yao Beast suddenly appeared, roaring towards the sky.

This phantom had a head like a goat, a single horn, a body like an elk, a tail like a Dragon, four wolf-like claws, and was entirely azure green.

"Roar!"

The phantom roared to the heavens, and streams of Water Origin Qi in the Void Realm all poured into its mouth, condensing into a rotating water pillar shimmering with azure green mysterious light.

"Break!"

Qi Ming leaned forward, extending a finger.

The massive phantom behind him suddenly lowered its head, and the azure green mysterious light water pillar condensed in its mouth burst forth, rushing into the sky full of pink petals.

At the same time.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the air, the beautiful pink petals exploded, and streaks of green cold light shot out from the shattered pink petals, assailing Qi Ming's location and the Yao Beast phantom from all directions.

Boom!

The azure green water pillar charged wildly, sweeping towards Hua Manque's position. Along the way, the green cold light and pink Qi were all swept into the water pillar, dissipating into nothingness.

Elsewhere, countless cold lights formed by green leaves pierced through the air, already arriving not far from the massive Yao Beast phantom.

Boom!

Boom!

Two resounding shocks echoed in all directions.

The azure green water pillar exploded, and a pink figure retreated five steps in a row.

At the same time, on the other side.

The massive Yao Beast phantom dissipated.

A figure, protected entirely by azure blue Spiritual Qi, retreated consecutively.

Only stopping after retreating seven steps.

Om~

Flowers, fallen leaves, and water currents scattered in all directions, but were all blocked by the mysterious light surrounding the circular platform.

Once the Spiritual Qi in the arena had somewhat calmed, the figures on the stone seats all looked towards the circular platform.

"Young Master Hua's methods are extraordinary. This time, I am slightly outmatched."

After a moment of silence.

Qi Ming's face was slightly grave as he spoke, then his figure flickered, flying back behind the aloof young man with azure blue long hair and a water pattern mark on his forehead.

"Young Master, your subordinate is incompetent."

Qi Ming bowed, asking for forgiveness from Qi Yuan.

"It's fine. This person is not bad either, no need to blame yourself."

Qi Yuan waved his hand indifferently.

Qi Ming nodded slightly and sat down behind Qi Yuan.

Beside him, the other two figures, one male and one female, who had accompanied Qi Ming, showed slight surprise on their faces.

Qi Ming was already exceptional, the best of the three, yet he unexpectedly fell slightly behind here.

"Big Brother, that phantom just now..."

On the stone seat, Zhou Jiayong's expression shifted, and he transmitted a message to Zhou Jiajun beside him.

"This image seems to bear some resemblance to the Kylin Ancient Clan, one of the five supreme Ancient Clans of the Western Border Demon Domain recorded in ancient texts..."

"Could it be that Qi Yuan is a Qilin transformed into human form?"

"That would explain why Fairy Gui Yi would travel with this Qi Yuan..."

"After all, the Kylin Ancient Clan is a powerful force comparable to the Dao Court..."

Zhou Jiayong's expression was solemn.

"It's possible."

"But why would this Qilin Clan come to this place with Fairy Gui Yi?"

Zhou Jiajun slowly nodded.

In the arena.

The other three Young Masters were all deep in thought.

Beside Fairy Gui Yi, Princess Huaying also involuntarily cast a few more glances at the aloof figure sitting calmly.

Only Fairy Gui Yi remained unmoved.

"Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, why not come down for a battle?"

On the huge fighting stage in the center.

Hua Manque, who had thought of a certain possibility, shed his lazy demeanor, his Battle Intent soaring, and invited the aloof figure.

"Just you alone is not enough."

Qi Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly.

"You..."

Hua Manque's heart sank.

Even if he truly was a Qilin, what of it? This was not the Western Border Demon Domain.

"Oh?"

"Then what if I join?"

At this moment.

A scorching flame erupted with a bang.

Transforming into a fiery light, it appeared on the central fighting stage.

"This is, Young Master Zhi Yan..."

Looking at the fiery red young figure who suddenly appeared on the fighting stage, beside the Romantic Young Master Hua Manque.

On the stone seats, the hearts of the young Genius Cultivators were stirred.

They had thought that seeing Fairy Gui Yi this time was already enough, but they didn't expect to witness two Young Masters confronting an enemy at the same time.

"It is rumored that Young Master Zhi Yan's talent is comparable to Princess Huaying's, astonishingly gifted..."

Everyone's hearts were excited.

"Not enough."

This soaring flame and the pink Qi divided the sky, yet Qi Yuan still only said lightly.

"Heh~"

"Such a lively scene, then I, this Young Master, shall also join in the fun."

Just then.

Another figure flew out, his Aura heavy, landing on the fighting stage with a thud.

A phantom of a mountain peak flashed and disappeared.

"Young Master Chongshan..."

"And me."

Before the words finished, the tide surged, and with waves as a bridge, a somewhat casual figure stepped on the waves and arrived.

Gently standing beside the three.
