"Heh heh heh..."
"You're quite fiery for such a young girl. Looks like you've never been taught a lesson."
After blocking Yu Sha's strike, the Blood Clan spirit creature actually extended its tongue and licked its own lips. The sight was utterly revolting.
"Courting death."
That behavior, seen through Yu Sha's eyes, became an unforgivable offense.
Yu Sha released the black-flame longsword from her hand and retreated, but as she did, dark energy once again surged from her body—though this time, it was different from before.
The dark energy swirled together, condensing into a black warhorse.
The black warhorse was vivid and lifelike, indistinguishable from a real steed.
Yu Sha mounted the black warhorse. With one hand gripping forward, a black-flame long spear materialized in her grasp.
The black flames surged, forming black armor that clung to Yu Sha's body.
In this moment, Yu Sha looked exceptionally formidable.
Neeighhh—
The warhorse let out a furious roar as Yu Sha charged toward the Blood Clan spirit creature once more.
The two clashed again, and the Blood Clan spirit creature was no longer as arrogant as before. Both hands tightened as two enormous iron hammers appeared, and he engaged Yu Sha in earnest combat.
But soon, the onlookers discovered with astonishment that the Blood Clan spirit creature—who had previously been able to block Yu Sha's attacks barehanded—had fallen into a disadvantage this time.
The reason was that after summoning the black warhorse, Yu Sha's combat strength had skyrocketed.
"That's not good."
"That kid's spirit creature is quite powerful—no ordinary being."
Watching Yu Sha's performance, many of the Spirit World Masters present showed envy in their eyes, especially the male ones.
At this point, regardless of the outcome, none of them could deny Yu Sha's overwhelming strength.
But only Chu Feng knew that if not for her power being sealed, summoning this black warhorse would have elevated Yu Sha's strength by an entire rank.
This black warhorse had not yet displayed its true power.
Still, even without its full strength, being able to aid Yu Sha at a time like this was more than satisfactory.
"Girl, I'm crazy about you. I really don't want to hurt you."
"Think about it—become my concubine. I swear I'll treat you to the finest things."
"Never mind this cultivation world—even back in the Asura Spirit World, I guarantee no one will dare bully you."
The Blood Clan spirit creature, despite being at a disadvantage, showed not the slightest panic. Instead, it taunted her with provocative words.
Swish—
However, the moment those words left its mouth, Yu Sha thrust her spear straight at its mouth.
Though Yu Sha didn't bother with a verbal retort, this strike was her best answer.
Yet this very exchange led to another shocking development.
Facing Yu Sha's charge, the spirit creature didn't dodge.
Then it opened its enormous jaws and caught the black-flame long spear between its teeth.
What followed was even more startling.
The spirit creature's teeth clenched with a sharp crack, and it snapped Yu Sha's formidable black-flame long spear in half using nothing but its bite.
It turned out the spirit creature had been hiding its strength. Its true power was still far superior to Yu Sha's.
"Yu Sha, get back here—now!"
Sensing the danger, Chu Feng shouted urgently. By now he could see that this Blood Clan spirit creature's strength surpassed Yu Sha's—she was no match for it at all.
"Hmph—"
But Yu Sha let out a cold snort. The black flames surged, and the broken spear instantly mended itself. She immediately launched another attack.
But this time, Yu Sha's power had risen yet again.
However, Chu Feng quickly noticed something: it wasn't just black flames swirling around Yu Sha. Mixed within them was another type of energy—one that seemed to be produced by burning something.
"Yu Sha, stop! Stop right now!"
Chu Feng sensed something was terribly wrong. He was certain Yu Sha was now resorting to methods that harmed her own body in exchange for power, forcibly prolonging the fight.
But no matter how Chu Feng pleaded, Yu Sha showed no intention of stopping.
"Girl, you're running out of my patience."
"Since you're too stupid to know what's good for you, don't blame me for not holding back."
The Blood Clan spirit creature finished speaking and raised a palm.
The palm struck outward, and instantly a violent gale erupted, space itself cracking apart. A devastating force, like an invisible hurricane, hurtled toward Yu Sha.
Though the blow didn't land directly on Yu Sha, the force alone sent her flying several meters back.
When Yu Sha steadied herself, blood slowly trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Her complexion had turned deathly pale.
A single strike—and Yu Sha was clearly badly wounded.
"You can't beat me."
"My strength isn't as weak as you think."
