112: Chapter 112 The Advantage Lies With Me? Divine Phoenix Battle Body Beats Up the Empress!

In the mid-air above Cangwu Mountain, the atmosphere was thick with tension.

Looking at Bai Su, whose face was slightly pale after being forced out of the void by Gu Xuanji's finger, a flicker of softness flashed through Wang Yang's eyes.

With a flicker of his body, he instantly appeared beside Bai Su. He naturally reached out to support her soft, slender waist and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, spoke warmly:

"Thank you for your concern, Mother-in-law."

"However, a mere group of clowns with their heads on the block cannot harm me. Mother-in-law, please step behind me and watch how your son-in-law deals with them."

Hearing the words 'Mother-in-law,' an intoxicating blush rose on Bai Su's stunningly beautiful cheeks.

Feeling the scorching heat from Wang Yang's palm and that reassuring dominance, she nodded obediently and retreated among the women.

But she still blushed as she sent a Divine Sense transmission to Wang Yang: "Husband, remember that we are 'underground'!"

"Arrogant!"

Aboard the flagship of the Righteous Path Alliance, Gu Xuanji let out a cold snort.

His Half-step Void Refinement Divine Sense was locked firmly onto Wang Yang, yet his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"This kid... doesn't have the slightest ripple of spiritual power on him? He's exactly like a Mortal without any cultivation!" Gu Xuanji thought to himself in shock.

But he would never believe that a Mortal could destroy the Tianshui Holy Land. This Hehuan Sect must have some strange Formation or secret treasure to conceal his aura.

Just as Gu Xuanji was filled with suspicion, Ji Linglong, standing behind Wang Yang like a straight spear, suddenly took a step forward!

"Ji Wushuang! Stop your nonsense and slandering my Revered Master!"

Ji Linglong was dressed in tight martial arts attire, looking heroic and spirited. She pointed at the distant Fire Cloud Empress, her voice crisp as a phoenix's cry, echoing through the clouds:

"Following Revered Master to Cultivate is a stroke of fortune that I, Ji Linglong, am willing and eager to have! To wag your tail and beg for mercy from the Righteous Path Alliance, you not only slander me but also dare to spout such nonsense here!"

"Didn't you keep saying that I was being used as a cauldron by Revered Master for dual cultivation?"

Ji Linglong sneered, her eyes burning with intense Battle Intent. "You, the dignified Fire Cloud Empress at the Golden Core Peak, do you dare to fight me, a Golden Core Middle Stage, today?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked.

The various lords of the Southern Wasteland Region looked at Ji Linglong as if she were a fool.

In the Cultivation World, a difference of one major Realm is like an insurmountable mountain, and even a difference of a minor stage is a complete suppression.

A Golden Core Middle Stage challenging a Golden Core Peak?

What is this if not seeking death?

On the Dragon-shaped Flying Carriage of the Fire Cloud Empire, Ji Wushuang was also slightly stunned, and then a flash of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes.

"This wretched girl actually dares to contradict me in public! A Golden Core Middle Stage challenging my Golden Core Peak? She's simply seeking her own destruction!"

Ji Wushuang's heart turned cold. She was just worried she wouldn't have a chance to perform well in front of Gu Xuanji. Since this 'dear sister' had offered her face to be slapped, she wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice her family for the sake of justice!

After all, with the gap in cultivation right here, the advantage was hers!

"Elder Gu!" Ji Wushuang turned and bowed respectfully to Gu Xuanji. "This woman has completely fallen into the Demonic Path and is beyond saving. Please allow this Junior to take action, personally clear the family gates, and uphold the Divine Might of our Righteous Path!"

Gu Xuanji took a deep look at Wang Yang, who remained calm and unruffled, and nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

He just happened to want to use Ji Wushuang's hand to test the depth of these Hehuan Sect Disciples and see what oddities this demonic sect truly possessed.

"As you command!"

Ji Wushuang was overjoyed. The spiritual power of her Golden Core Peak erupted violently, turning into a streak of fiery red light as she charged straight at Ji Linglong!

"Rebellious sister! Die!" Ji Wushuang's first move was the Fire Cloud Empire's royal secret technique, the 'Fire Cloud Heaven-Burning Palm.' Flames filled the sky, transforming into a massive palm print that carried scorching temperatures, aiming to kill Ji Linglong in one blow.

Facing this thunderous strike, Ji Linglong did not dodge or avoid it.

"Good timing!"

Ji Linglong took a deep breath, her eyes instantly becoming sharp and piercing.

"Lì—!" A crisp phoenix cry suddenly rang out!

The Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix War-Body Art inside Ji Linglong's body circulated frantically. Crimson Divine Phoenix Spirit Runes instantly appeared on her fair skin, and a primal, ancient, and extremely violent Body Cultivator power erupted from her petite frame!

Without any fancy Spell clashes, Ji Linglong simply and crudely clenched her small fist and punched out against the sea of fire!

Boom—!

The violent Divine Phoenix fist wind was like a hot knife through butter, directly smashing Ji Wushuang's proud Fire Cloud palm print into a shower of sparks!

"What?!" Ji Wushuang was pale with shock. Before she could react, Ji Linglong's figure had already pierced through the sea of fire like a ghost and appeared right in front of her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull sounds of fists hitting flesh echoed through the air.

The jaws of everyone from the Southern Wasteland forces nearly hit the ground.

What were they seeing?

The dignified Golden Core Peak Empress was actually being pummeled by a Golden Core Middle Stage Body Cultivator!

She had no power to fight back!

Ji Wushuang's proud Protective Aura was as fragile as paper in the face of Ji Linglong's terrifying strength, which had been 'deeply developed' by Wang Yang and boosted by the Divine Phoenix Battle Body!

"Pfft—!" Ji Wushuang spat out a mouthful of blood. Her hair was disheveled, her dragon robe was torn, and she no longer possessed the majesty of an Empress.

"Impossible... This is impossible! You were clearly used as a cauldron, so how can you be this strong?!"

Ji Wushuang's eyes were filled with terror. Using the recoil from being struck, she turned to flee toward the Righteous Path Alliance's army. "Elder Gu, save me!"

"Trying to run?"

Ji Linglong sneered and reached for her waist.

Buzz!

A dazzling purple-gold light flashed. It was the random top-tier Magic Treasure Wang Yang had given her last night—the [Purple-Gold Immortal-Binding Rope]!

This was a top-tier Magic Treasure!

In a place like the Southern Wasteland, even Nascent Soul Stage old monsters would turn green with envy over such a treasure!

Whoosh—!

The Purple-Gold Immortal-Binding Rope was like a living dragon, instantly crossing a hundred zhang and binding Ji Wushuang tightly in mid-air, even completely sealing the spiritual power in her body!

"Get over here!"

Ji Linglong gave a fierce tug, dragging Ji Wushuang back to Cangwu Mountain like a dead dog, where she crashed heavily at Wang Yang's feet.

The entire field was silent.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the battle was over.

Ji Linglong raised her leg, clad in a red battle boot, wanting to stomp on her terrified older sister.

But she was her biological sister after all, and she ultimately restrained herself from stomping.

Binding Ji Wushuang and bringing her over was somewhat out of family sentiment; she was afraid Wang Yang would just kill her outright.

"In the future, when I Cultivate with Revered Master, I could let her be a 'hip-pushing' maid!"

Ji Linglong remained calm on the surface, but a mocking sneer curled her lips. "Ji Wushuang, didn't you just confidently swear in front of all the Southern Wasteland that I was being used as a cauldron by a Devil Head?"

"How is it that you, a Golden Core Peak with higher cultivation, can't even beat a 'drained' useless person like me with lower cultivation?"

"Is your cultivation as an Empress made of paper?!"

Ji Linglong's crisp questioning was like a series of loud slaps, not only hitting Ji Wushuang's face but also the faces of Gu Xuanji and the entire Righteous Path Alliance army!
