185: Chapter 185 Teasing Wu Li

The next day, the morning light had just begun to show.

The venue of the Cangxuan Assembly was once again bustling with voices, and the ten arenas glowed with dazzling light once more.

Eighth Prince Zhou Daoyi stood atop the high platform, his dragon robe fluttering in the wind, and his voice was majestic:

"The second round of the elimination matches will now resume!"

"Arena Number Three, Baili Yunche of the Xuanyang Sect versus Wu Li of the Beast Taming Sect!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience broke into an uproar.

Wu Li was the second greatest Genius of the Beast Taming Sect, with the cultivation of the second layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, an existence second only to Liang Hong!

Although this person was not as notoriously famous as Liang Hong, his beast taming arts had already reached the Transcendent state.

It was said that he controlled a Vajra Demonic Ape of the first layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, and his combat power was so strong that he had few opponents in the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul.

"Baili Yunche's luck has run out! Wu Li is not some trash who just stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage like Liu Yulang!"

"Indeed, with Wu Li and the Vajra Demonic Ape combined, their combat power is comparable to the third layer of the Nascent Soul Stage. No matter how much of a Prodigy Baili Yunche is, it's impossible for him to bridge so many Realms, right?"

"Let's see if he can still defeat the enemy with a single sword this time!"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Wu Li slowly stepped onto Arena Number Three.

His figure was as thin and tall as a bamboo pole, and his face was gloomy and fierce.

Wu Li stood on the east side of the arena, his arms crossed over his chest, staring condescendingly at Baili Yunche opposite him, a cruel arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Baili Yunche, why aren't you coming over to accept your death!"

His voice was extremely icy, carrying undisguised contempt and killing intent.

"Yesterday you killed Liu Yulang, and today I will cripple you to vindicate the Beast Taming Sect!"

Hearing this, Baili Yunche merely smiled calmly.

With a light tap of his toes on the ground, his figure rose gracefully like a swan and slowly landed on the arena.

"Do you guys think Baili Yunche will defeat Wu Li with a single sword this time?"

"He probably won't, right? That last time was probably just good luck! That Liu Yulang had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage and was caught off guard by Baili Yunche!"

"I don't think so! Baili Yunche's strength is probably already comparable to the third layer of the Nascent Soul Stage!"

The surrounding spectators whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Seeing that Baili Yunche dared to look down on him so much, Wu Li's expression grew even gloomier.

He slowly raised his right hand, patted the Spirit Beast bag at his waist, and said in a sinister voice:

"Baili Yunche, your strength is indeed very strong, slaying Liu Yulang with a single sword."

"So... seeing me come up, why haven't you knelt down and begged for mercy?"

"Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you lose more decently and spare your dog life."

Baili Yunche took up Wu Li's words and said sarcastically.

Wu Li's eyes flashed with a sharp edge: "However, what I want to tell you is—"

"At the Cangxuan Assembly, you will stop right here! Moreover, I will make you ten times more miserable than Lin Yaodong."

"As expected, people from the Beast Taming Sect all like to bark like dogs!"

Baili Yunche smiled faintly.

"You're courting death!"

Wu Li's face flushed crimson, and towering anger burst out from his yellowish-brown vertical pupils.

He slammed his palm onto the Spirit Beast bag, and black light flourished greatly!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

A deafening roar resounded across the arena.

A behemoth leaped out from the Spirit Beast bag and landed heavily on the arena, stamping spiderweb-like cracks onto the dark iron stone ground!

That was a Vajra Demonic Ape!

This ape was two zhang tall, its entire body covered in dark golden fur, with every single hair standing on end like steel needles, exuding a metallic luster.

Its arms were astonishingly thick, with knotted muscles containing explosive power.

The Vajra Demonic Ape was a distant relative of the ancient Vicious Beast "Mountain-Moving Giant Ape", born with Divine Power, and its Physical Body was as formidable as a Tier 4 Magic Treasure.

An adult Vajra Demonic Ape could execute the earth-type Divine Ability "Heaven-shaking and Earth-shattering".

With a single stomp, it could cause the ground within a radius of a hundred zhang to fracture, and it could also condense an earth and stone armor with astonishing defense.

The true combat power of this Vajra Demonic Ape at the first layer of the Nascent Soul Stage was even above Wu Li himself!

"Charge!"

At Wu Li's command, his figure swept towards the left like a ghost, while the Vajra Demonic Ape roared and rushed out from the right.

One man and one beast launched a pincer attack from left and right, forming a horn-locked formation as they swarmed towards Baili Yunche to kill him!

A blood-red scimitar appeared in Wu Li's hand, its blade curved like the moon, exuding a dense aura of blood fiends.

With a point of his blade, a blood-red blade Qi tore through the air, heading straight for Baili Yunche's throat.

At the same time, the Vajra Demonic Ape pounded its chest with both fists, leaped up fiercely, and its millstone-sized fists wrapped in earthy-yellow light smashed down like two meteors!

"Earth-Shattering Fist!"

Wherever the fist wind passed, the air emitted unbearable explosions, and the defensive runes around the arena were shaken to flicker uncertainly.

Facing this overwhelming offensive, Baili Yunche was not flustered at all.

He lightly raised his right hand, and the blazing fire sword appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The sword body was crimson like blood, entwined with flames, exuding a scorching and fierce aura.

"Too slow."

Baili Yunche spoke indifferently, his figure slightly sideways, as the blazing fire sword traced a graceful arc.

"Setting Sun Like Blood."

A crimson sword Qi slashed out, colliding with the blood-red blade Qi and shattering it raw.

At the same time, he tapped lightly with his left foot, his figure retreating gracefully like catkins, perfectly dodging the Vajra Demonic Ape's meteor fists.

"Boom!"

The Vajra Demonic Ape's fists smashed into the ground, causing the dark iron stone arena to vibrate violently, and cracks spread out like spiderwebs.

Wu Li and the Vajra Demonic Ape cooperated seamlessly, one on the left and one on the right, their blade light and fist shadows intertwining into a net of death.

Wu Li's blood-red scimitar was tricky and vicious, specializing in attacking vital points;

while the Vajra Demonic Ape was powerful and heavy, every punch carrying the might to collapse mountains and split the earth.

However, Baili Yunche was strolling leisurely.

He executed the Startled Swan Swimming Dragon Step, his figure shuttling through the blade light and fist shadows like a ghost.

The blazing fire sword slashed out at times, colliding with the blood-red scimitar to splash sparks all over the sky; at other times, it tapped lightly, borrowing force from the Vajra Demonic Ape's fist peak to float away.

His movements were smooth and flowing, every sword stroke and form just right, not engaged in a life-and-death struggle at all, but rather using Wu Li to practice his swordsmanship.

"Damn it! Why is this brat as slippery as a loach!"

The more Wu Li fought, the more alarmed he became, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.

He originally thought that relying on his cooperation with the Vajra Demonic Ape, it would be enough to crush Baili Yunche within ten moves.

But now, after dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, the opponent was still handling it with ease, not even a corner of his clothes having been torn!

"Is that all your ability?"

Baili Yunche deflected the Vajra Demonic Ape's fist with a single sword, his figure retreating gracefully by three zhang, standing with his sword in hand, and said sarcastically:

"The second Genius of the Beast Taming Sect? The second layer of the Nascent Soul Stage? I see it's nothing much after all?"

"You..."

Wu Li was so angry that his face turned livid, and bloodshots densely covered his yellowish-brown vertical pupils.

"Oh, I forgot, you Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect rely entirely on beasts for fighting."

Baili Yunche patted his forehead as if suddenly realizing, his smile growing even more brilliant,

"Without this monkey, you're probably not even worthy of carrying shoes for Lin Yaodong."

"I advise you to kowtow and admit defeat early, so as to avoid suffering physical pain!"

"Of course—even kneeling is useless, today I will definitely cripple your Dantian."

Baili Yunche's every word was sharp as a pearl, just like how Liang Hong had angered Lin Yaodong back then, unceremoniously toying with Wu Li.
