"Almost there! Anyway, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Long Wu Xian was about to finish speaking, but Bei Luo Yu interrupted him.

For some reason, he hadn't felt this way when facing Yu Xin before, but in this duel with Bei Luo Yu, Long Wu Xian felt a deep sense of danger.

But...

Since the other party had thrown down the challenge, how could he just retreat at this critical moment?

So, Long Wu Xian arrogantly replied, "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Then stop the nonsense and come at me!"

After Bei Luo Yu spoke, his whole body exuded an aura.

Suddenly, all the small arenas around exploded into powder in an instant, causing some of the onlookers to lose their senses. Of course, this was the terrifying aura erupting under the premise of Chi suppression in the Immortal Realm. If it were in the Mortal Realm, this might have caused space to crack and mountains to shatter.

Crash...

Seeing this scene, there was an uproar, and all the outer disciple immediately backed away, creating a spacious space for Long Wu Xian and Bei Luo Yu.

"My Heavens, Sister Bei Luo Yu is about to reach a bottleneck!!!"

"A bottleneck? My goodness, Long Wu Xian is truly daring. Judging from his appearance, it's hard to imagine who could make him feel fearful."

"At least Sister Yu Xin can't achieve that... Hey, do you think Long Wu Xian can defeat Sister Bei Luo Yu?"

"Ah... that's hard to say. You see, even Sister Yu Xin wasn't his match, and although Sister Bei Luo Yu's cultivation is at the peak of Immortal Emperor realm, in a real battle, they might be evenly matched. However, her cultivation still has a significant advantage, and Bei Luo Yu herself defeated Sister Yu Xin right after enrollment."

"Tsk tsk, if Long Wu Xian can defeat Bei Luo Yu, he will truly become famous in the One Qi Sect. With his strength, he shouldn't stay in the outer sect but directly promoted to the inner sect!"

It was clear that the disciples had great expectations for the upcoming battle between Long Wu Xian and Bei Luo Yu. The stakes for both sides were high, with their lives on the line. Inside the One Qi Sect, normally, unless they were mortal enemies, seldom would they engage in a fight to the death. After all, they belonged to the same sect, and the usual bets during sparring were just some gold coins and elixirs. However, for Bei Luo Yu to wager Long Wu Xian's life, it was the largest bet in the history of the One Qi Sect.

Fei Yu and others looked nervous. Their tension had never subsided from the beginning. Facing Bei Luo Yu, a well-known figure in the inner sect, with hardly any opponents at the same level, regardless of the outcome of this battle, troubles would follow Long Wu Xian. Peace within the One Qi Sect would become impossible in the future!

Humming...

Chi continuously condensed in Bei Luo Yu's hand, until a long whip was formed at last.

"Ah! Is Bei Luo Yu going to unleash the Snowstorm Transformation right from the beginning?"

"I heard her Snowstorm Transformation has reached the seventh layer, extremely terrifying. Long Wu Xian might have a hard time dealing with this."

Seeing Bei Luo Yu drawing out her whip, a hint of restlessness spread around.

The Snowstorm Transformation was the City Lord of Snowstorm City's renowned technique, and also the martial art that Bei Luo Yu was most proud of. Facing Long Wu Xian, she immediately revealed this trump card, showing how seriously she took him as an opponent. Or rather, she had already sensed some pressure from Long Wu Xian.

"Long Wu Xian, the terror of my Snowstorm Transformation is beyond your imagination. If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might spare you."

Bei Luo Yu said confidently. She had great faith in the Snowstorm Transformation technique personally taught by her father. With this technique, she even killed a bandit leader who had reached the peak of Immortal Emperor realm.

"Tch, you sure talk a lot of nonsense."

Long Wu Xian shook his head, then with a flick of his arm, a radiant orb appeared in his hand.

The Oceanic Pearl was Long Wu Xian's favorite weapon. For someone skilled in using orbs, this mysterious weapon hidden with powerful attacks was an enemy's nightmare!

However, Long Wu Xian's only regret was that he possessed only one Oceanic Pearl. He had learned about the legend of six Oceanic Pearls, and after advancing to the early stage of Immortal Emperor realm, he would be able to use this Pearl to find the whereabouts of the other six Pearls.

"Since you still don't know how to behave, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Bei Luo Yu burst out, releasing her aura as a powerhouse in the Immortal Emperor realm, and the whip in her hand let out a strong whistle. Even in the evening light, it couldn't conceal its bright silver glow.

"Snowstorm Transformation, the first form."

As Bei Luo Yu's voice fell, the whip in her hand seemed to come to life, entwining towards Long Wu Xian's neck. This entanglement made the whip seem substantial as if it could even break through the void, appearing above Long Wu Xian's neck in the blink of an eye.

Fast, it was too fast. Not only was the whip fierce, but its speed restricted Long Wu Xian's Dragon Step technique. Despite this, Long Wu Xian remained motionless. As the whip arrived, he flicked his arm, and the Oceanic Pearl in his hand burst with light rays, continuously infusing terrifying true energy into the Pearl. The surface of the Pearl kept emitting brilliance, forming numerous light blades that countered the incoming whip.

Bang!

Long Wu Xian's eyes were extremely sharp. This time, the counterattack struck precisely at the weakest points of the whip, effortlessly breaking it into multiple pieces. Finally, the brilliance and silver light vanished into the air, and Bei Luo Yu's whip had caused no damage to Long Wu Xian.

"What a marvelous weapon!"

Many people's eyes lit up. Used to seeing swords and knives, they had never seen someone fight using a whip and a gem.

However, facing someone who could match him and wasn't even at the early stage of Immortal Emperor realm like Bei Luo Yu, Long Wu Xian, Bei Luo Yu thought it was a great humiliation!

"Snowstorm Transformation, the second form!"

Following Bei Luo Yu's words, the whip changed again, shimmering silver light striking left and right like two serpents, with unimaginable consequences if hit. Not only did the number of light rays change, but each one's power was much stronger than before.

Long Wu Xian acted again, his body swaying slightly like a dragon that pierced through the two silver lights. The Oceanic Pearl in his hand turned into two golden lights, each piercing the center of the two silver lights, effortlessly shattering them.

This time, Bei Luo Yu's face finally underwent a significant change, but her aura rose once again.

"Snowstorm Transformation, the third form, the fourth form, the fifth form!"

With one shout after another, three more transformations were released successively. In no time, the entire sealed space was completely covered by dense light rays, and Long Wu Xian's figure was entirely engulfed in this sea of light.

The Snowstorm Transformation was the City Lord of Snowstorm City's renowned technique. It was said that when the City Lord reached the peak of the Holy Emperor realm, he established a Snowstorm Territory on the edge of the Northern Region, preventing the powerful beings from enslaving the humans and creatures living in the Mortal Realm. However, nothing was absolute. For instance, the Tu Shan Clan, as an ancient god clan, had a way to surpass the barrier of the Holy Emperor realm.

"Speaking of this..."

Long Wu Xian suddenly became mischievous. "I once thought, if one day I could also reach the Holy Emperor realm, wouldn't that be amazing? Besides making life easier, I could also show off in front of weaker people..."

"I say, Master!" Yuanhui said disdainfully, "Watch your words and actions; you're misleading others."

"Off on a tangent, why don't you talk about what interests you... but I must remind you, I have no relation with those from the Northern family. After all, we're all young boys and girls, there's bound to be some friction, which could spark some flames..."

"Flames?"

"Yes... but it's just drying clothes by the fire, after all, our clothes were soaking wet then."

"Hehe, Master, you don't need to explain; I understand..."

"I say, disciple, I'm not a monk. Can't you show me some respect?"

"Okay, okay... continue, continue."

"Sigh, that Sister Bei Ji is quite troublesome, the duel has just begun..."

A slight smile crept onto Bei Luo Yu's lips. In her view, no matter how formidable Long Wu Xian was, he couldn't possibly emerge unscathed from her Snowstorm Transformation.

"The sixth form."

Bei Luo Yu converged all of her Chi, followed by unleashing the sixth iteration of the Snowstorm Transformation.

Swish...

Several brilliant silver lights surged out, resembling enraged dragons, joining together in the frenzy of lights.

Bei Luo Yu seemed determined not to give Long Wu Xian a breather, relentlessly pressing him with her dominating method of control. However, after six consecutive transformations, Bei Luo Yu had basically exhausted her Chi, and her breath began to rise. If Long Wu Xian were to rush out of the formation at this moment, Bei Luo Yu probably wouldn't have the strength to resist anymore.

But Bei Luo Yu wasn't concerned at all. She had strong confidence in her technique and was sure that Long Wu Xian wouldn't emerge unscathed under her storm of attacks. Her next task was just to make sure Long Wu Xian knelt before her and begged for mercy.

"The Snowstorm Transformation of Snowstorm City is indeed terrifying! With this crazed continuous attack, Long Wu Xian absolutely can't respond. He's probably done for this time."

"Sigh, Long Wu Xian is impressive. His talent is much stronger than the average disciples, but unfortunately, his cultivation is too weak. Even without reaching the early stage of Immortal Emperor realm, his ability to fight Bei Luo Yu to this extent is already very terrifying."

"Yeah, even if he loses, no one will ridicule him. And even if Sister Bei Luo Yu wins, she probably won't have the face to show herself outside, right? After all, it's not something to boast about when a powerhouse at the peak of Immortal Emperor realm defeats someone at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm while giving their all."
