Jiang Lanzhi vs. Hong Rushuang

Xiao Fan did nothing, yet he raked in 88,888 villain points. Thanks, Fei Yangyang, you died in the toilet, no, you died a worthy death.

With the Looting Luck Sword in hand, he didn't have to worry about Fei Yangyang getting a rematch.

"Lickspittles don't deserve to be Qi Luck Children!"

Returning to the arena, Jiang Lanzhi perfectly won all her matches.

Any Disciple who faced her, as long as they weren't too aggressive, she would gently throw them out of the ring.

Her ranking also soared.

Top sixty-four.

Top thirty-two.

Top sixteen.

Top eight.

Among all the Female Disciples present, the strongest was only Nascent Soul Stage - Late Phase; those at Soul Transformation Stage and above were Deacons and Elders, and could not participate in the assessment.

With her strength to kill a Combination Stage Cultivator with one punch, no Disciple could stop her!

"Lan Zhi Senior Sister is so strong."

"It seems no one has been able to last a single Move against Lan Zhi Senior Sister."

"How strong is she exactly? It's still an unknown."

"So terrifying. No wonder Lan Zhi Senior Sister could win the favor of Young Master Xiao. She's too much of a Genius."

All the Female Disciples of Hundred Flowers Holy Land were amazed by Jiang Lanzhi's strength, which had reached an unruly level.

Even the Disciples from the previous session felt inferior.

Some were happy, some were sad.

Given Jiang Lanzhi's Heaven-Defying strength, Hong Rushuang's mood was extremely heavy.

Because in the semi-finals, her opponent was Jiang Lanzhi.

"Such strong strength. Even if I go all out against her, my chances of winning are only thirty percent!"

Hong Rushuang's gaze towards Jiang Lanzhi always carried deep hostility, wishing she could fiercely trample Jiang Lanzhi underfoot.

She was originally the Prodigy of Hundred Flowers Holy Land, enjoying boundless glory within the Holy Land. Everyone lived in her shadow.

But there was one person who could surpass her and overshadow her, and that person was Jiang Lanzhi.

To quickly become stronger, Jiang Lanzhi constantly broke various records. All the strength rankings in Hundred Flowers Holy Land were swept clean by her.

Moreover, her strength was so superb that she always reached the top of the list in one go. The Best New Talent List, the Same-Rank Disciple Combat Strength List, and even the most famous Hundred Flowers Contention List of Hundred Flowers Holy Land—Jiang Lanzhi was first!

She was like a goddess descended from heaven, sweeping all lists in Hundred Flowers Holy Land and parachuting into first place!

And second was Hong Rushuang.

Hong Rushuang was indignant and wanted to challenge Jiang Lanzhi to a duel to defeat her, to show everyone that she, Hong Rushuang, was the number one Prodigy of Hundred Flowers Holy Land!

Jiang Lanzhi accepted her challenge, and the two fought in the arena, making it difficult to determine the victor.

But at that time, Jiang Lanzhi was a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator fighting against her, a Nascent Soul Stage - Middle Phase Cultivator.

Jiang Lanzhi understood that her prominence was too great and wanted to hide her strength, fight, and then pretend to lose narrowly. However, Hong Rushuang was aggressive, and all her Moves were killing blows.

Jiang Lanzhi, unable to bear it any longer, directly slapped her flying with a big smack, leaving her incapacitated for several days.

She originally wanted to pretend to be a weakling and concede, but since Hong Rushuang didn't know how to seize the opportunity, she could only be carried away.

Now everyone understood that Jiang Lanzhi actually sent Hong Rushuang flying with one Move, and it was a Golden Core Cultivator fighting a Nascent Soul Cultivator. The strength gap was visible to the naked eye!

After this battle, Hong Rushuang's name as a Genius could no longer shine.

She became Jiang Lanzhi's stepping stone.

Losers do not deserve a name.

Later, when Jiang Lanzhi returned home, she heard that she was even engaged to the Young Master of the Xiao Family. This news came as another heavy blow to Hong Rushuang.

Her strength was greater than mine, and the man she found was also a Young Master from a big family. Her heart was already somewhat twisted.

Especially when Xiao Fan publicly shouted, "No one can be the Hundred Flowers Saintess except Jiang Lanzhi," her mentality exploded.

No matter what, she had to suppress her, no matter what!

On the arena, a Female Elder presiding over the fight stepped onto the stage. Her hair was coiled up, and she had a faint smile, her Spiritual Qi mixed with sound waves.

She said, "After fierce competition, we have now reached the semi-finals."

"Let us welcome Jiang Lanzhi and Hong Rushuang, two Prodigies of the Holy Land, to see what wonderful matches they will bring us."

After speaking, she exited the stage without any delay.

This confrontation had long been eagerly awaited by most people.

Especially the Disciples of Hundred Flowers Holy Land, as this was a grand competition concerning the Holy Land's number one Prodigy.

"Last time, Lan Zhi Senior Sister won against Ru Shuang Senior Apprentice Sister. This time, the result should not be too different."

"Not necessarily. Three months ago, Ru Shuang Senior Apprentice Sister broke through to Nascent Soul Stage - Late Phase and even awakened her Physique. The outcome is still unknown."

"No, the outcome is already decided. Lan Zhi Senior Sister was a Golden Core Cultivator last time, isn't she Nascent Soul now? This strength leap is greater than Ru Shuang Senior Apprentice Sister's. I think Lan Zhi Senior Sister's strength is still superior."

"Their last fight was a private duel, they didn't use Magic Treasures, it was purely a Daoist Magic competition, which can't fully reflect their strength. It can only be said that Lan Zhi Senior Sister's attainment in Daoist Magic is on a higher level."

"Yes, and this time's confrontation, in addition to Daoist Magic, will also be influenced by Magic Treasures, combat experience, on-the-spot reactions, and even the strategy of Moves. This is a comprehensive competition, and Hong Rushuang Senior Apprentice Sister has a greater advantage."

On the stage, both of them were already in position.

Although Hong Rushuang's mood was a bit heavy, she still maintained a light smile on her face, making herself appear relaxed.

"Jiang Lan Zhi Junior Sister, you won't be so lucky this time."

Jiang Lanzhi's beautiful eyes were calm and unperturbed. In fact, she didn't want to provoke this person.

After all, having been Reborn, the cultivation path she had walked far surpassed hers. In front of Jiang Lanzhi, Hong Rushuang was merely a small cannon fodder, not worth mentioning.

"Hmm, can we start now?" Jiang Lanzhi said indifferently.

These words of certain victory instantly made Hong Rushuang lose her composure. It was like this again. Why did she think she could win!

"Hmph, I hope you can still be so composed later." Hong Rushuang sneered.

After speaking, her body floated up, looking down from above.

Her long hair, like a waterfall, hung naturally, moving without wind.

With a wave of her right hand, her red robe gradually became tinged with a layer of Wu Light, and her entire being became sharp and cold, like a Hell demon god descending.

Hong Rushuang was completely clad in a piece of dark Black Light Armor. The Armor clung tightly to her delicate body, perfectly showcasing her graceful and slender figure. The Wu Light extended from bottom to top, even covering her head with a layer of black helmet.

An invincible aura emanated from Hong Rushuang.

"Huh, what's wrong with her? Is she stacking armor before the fight even begins?"

"This dark Black Light Armor is a bit peculiar."

"I've seen it. That's the Black Light Armor unique to the Witch God Sect. Its defense is astonishing, and wearing it can strengthen a Cultivator's Physical Body."

"Yes, the Witch God Sect has risen abruptly, and this Black Light Armor has played an indispensable role."

White Windflow looked at the fully armed, incomparably domineering Hong Rushuang, feeling smug.

This Black Light Armor was specially prepared by him for Hong Rushuang, precisely to show the world the power of this Armor.

Many forces were gathered here, and there was no better place to showcase the Black Light Armor. As long as it made a big splash in the competition, it could be sold throughout the cultivation world with this Armor as a selling point.

Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. The Witch God Sect, wanting to grow and strengthen, had to accumulate wealth. Buying land, Medicinal Pills, Materials—each required Spirit Stones, and the Witch God Sect was currently most lacking in Spirit Stones!

Now was a time of peace. They couldn't causelessly provoke a war among the Human Race. Because of this, they went to fight the Yao Race and occupy the Yao Race's territory.

But feeding war with war was ultimately not the right path. In the process of conquering the Yao Race, although the Witch God Sect gained fame and achieved considerable success, they also lost many Elders and Disciples.

A different development strategy was needed, such as selling some unique Treasure Artifacts. This Black Light Armor was the first choice.

In other words, this was a showcase.

Hong Rushuang also knew White Windflow's plan, and she was very willing to cooperate with him.

"This is a high-grade Black Light Armor. Even a Void Refinement Cultivator cannot break its defense. Its defensive power is top-tier among Treasure Artifacts. Only a Dao Artifact can break its defense."

"Not only that, it can also strengthen my Physical Body, giving me a Physical Body comparable to that of a Yao Beast!" Hong Rushuang said loudly, like a salesperson.

Some people from various forces' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

A Nascent Soul Stage - Late Phase Cultivator, wearing this thing, could block the attacks of a Void Refinement Cultivator? Is this possible?

If it was true, that would be incredible.

Some people immediately asked, "Young Master Bai, is this Black Light Armor very strong?"

Business is coming!

White Windflow smiled, "Let's put it this way: this high-grade Black Light Armor's defense is comparable to a top-grade Treasure Artifact. A Void Refinement Cultivator hitting it will have ninety-nine percent of their force deflected, and the remaining bit of power will be reflected."

"Not only that, the Spirit Stones needed to buy one top-grade Treasure Artifact can buy five pieces of Black Light Armor. The main point is that it's cheap and practical."

White Windflow said confidently, "I won't say more. Everyone, open your eyes and wait and see."

"If you find it practical, you can come to me, and I'll give you a discount."

At his words, the Cultivators outside the arena also stared at the stage, wanting to see if it was as peculiar as he said.

White Windflow's goal was achieved!

Xiao Fan also returned to the arena, looking at the two women confronting each other on stage, and the black-clad Hong Rushuang, feeling a bit confused.

"What's wrong with her?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Saint, that's some kind of Black Light Armor. I heard it can block the attacks of Void Refinement Cultivators. It's simply monstrous." A Female Disciple from Hundred Flowers Holy Land said.

"Yes, Lan Zhi Senior Sister is strong, but that's in the same stage. Her wearing such strong defense clearly shows she doesn't want to fight fairly!"

Ha, does she think she's invincible just by wearing a turtle shell?

Xiao Fan's expression was mocking. This black turtle shell might be effective against ordinary people, but against Jiang Lanzhi, it could only mean the turtle shell was about to be smashed.

"Saint, aren't you worried?"

"It's alright. I'm worried Jiang Lan Zhi might use too much force and injure a fellow Disciple, which wouldn't be good." Xiao Fan said casually.

On stage, Hong Rushuang looked arrogant, as if victory was in her grasp.

If you can't even break my defense, what will you use to fight me?

"What, aren't you going to take out any Magic Treasures?" Hong Rushuang sneered.

Jiang Lanzhi shook her head, "I'm giving you time just to let you make a fool of yourself a little longer."

"After all, the higher you're praised, the harder you fall."

Hong Rushuang's face turned cold. Your confident demeanor truly disgusts me!

Hong Rushuang began to exert her power, growing wings from her back.

Battle Qi transforming into wings! My apologies, wrong set. Spiritual Qi transforming into wings.

She swooped down rapidly.

Everyone was watching the arena. Jiang Lanzhi's jade hand clenched into a fist. Towards others, she might show mercy.

But White Windflow and Hong Rushuang, these two were truly annoying enough.

Then she didn't need to show mercy anymore.

Ordinary Punch!

Boom!

A huge collision sound rang out, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.

"Pain, it's too painful!"

A bloody black figure flew out, like a big black rat, landing outside the arena.

White Windflow, confident of victory, said, "Look, this is the power of the Black Light Armor..."

But when he saw the black mass on the ground, he couldn't utter the rest of his words.

This...
