Seeing this, Chu Feng was about to act.
Whoosh—
But Li Mengyue simply raised her arm, and a golden halo shot toward Chu Feng.
That golden halo actually pinned Chu Feng in place.
"This matter no longer concerns you."
"Now, it is between that old thing and myself."
"Just stand there quietly and watch how this young lady deals with him."
After Li Mengyue finished speaking, white flames began to emanate from her body.
The flames resembled heat waves.
They didn't look sacred, nor did they hold anything particularly special about them.
Yet the moment those white flames appeared, Li Mengyue grew stronger and stronger with every exchange.
She, who had just been at a disadvantage, was now holding her own against the Constellation Immortal Island Master evenly.
"It appeared! That is the power of the third miss of Purple Star Hall — the Burning Soul Divine Body!"
The crowd outside the battlefield erupted in cries of astonishment.
The so-called Burning Soul Divine Body was fundamentally different from ordinary Heaven-gifted Divine Bodies.
While the Burning Soul Divine Body possessed the same power as a typical Heaven-gifted Divine Body — the ability to enhance a warrior's combat strength — it also possessed an extraordinary ability that other Heaven-gifted Divine Bodies lacked.
It could be used to burn one's own soul in exchange for even greater combat power.
The appearance of those white flames meant that Li Mengyue had begun using her Heaven-gifted Divine Body to burn her soul.
It was precisely because of this that she was able to go toe-to-toe with the demonized Constellation Immortal Island Master.
"Has this girl gone mad?"
"She's actually using the power of the Burning Soul Soul to protect an unrelated outsider?"
Upon seeing this, the Purple Star Hall Master's face was filled with rage.
Although the Burning Soul Divine Body wouldn't truly destroy Li Mengyue's soul, it would impose a tremendous burden on her — one of no small consequence.
That was why, unless absolutely necessary, even Li Mengyue herself would never resort to using the Burning Soul Divine Body to burn her soul.
Yet now, Li Mengyue was actually wielding this power to protect Chu Feng.
The Purple Star Hall Master was utterly baffled.
This was his own daughter, after all — and no one understood her better than he did.
Li Mengyue might seem playful and mischievous on the surface, like some innocent young girl, but in truth, she was incredibly cold and ruthless.
She was not the sort of woman who went out of her way to help others.
How cold was Li Mengyue, exactly?
She had once stood by and watched her own younger sister face death without lifting a finger.
That was why the Purple Star Hall Master couldn't comprehend this.
He simply could not understand why the ever-cold Li Mengyue would choose to help Chu Feng.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Thunderous booms erupted across the sky as waves of energy rippled outward.
The battle between Li Mengyue and the Constellation Immortal Island Master had already annihilated everything in that stretch of heaven and earth.
This left the onspectators both stunned and filled with admiration.
Li Mengyue's combat strength was something people had only heard of, but few had ever witnessed firsthand.
Seeing it today, it truly lived up to its reputation.
That was evident from the fact that she could fight the demonized Constellation Immortal Island Master to a standstill.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a sweeping slash tore across the sky.
Immediately after, a figure was sent hurtling backward.
The crowd could now see that the one knocked out of the battlefield was Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue no longer wore the composed expression she had before.
The white flames still danced around her body, but she was gasping for breath in great heaving gulps. The tension and strain etched across her face made it painfully clear to everyone that her condition was far from good.
