Inside the Combat Platform, Jie Tian stood in place. The dragon-formation beneath his feet was gone, yet he was completely unharmed.
But compared to before, he had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Two layers of power coiled around his body. One was the power of his bloodline — extraordinarily powerful, causing heaven and earth to shift.
It was the Bloodline of a King!!!
The other was the power of a formation — an incredibly unique formation that merged perfectly with the Bloodline of a King.
Most importantly, under the entanglement of these two forces, Jie Tian's combat power had risen yet again.
On top of his Ninth Grade Half God-level fighting strength, he had now gained the combat power to challenge a full grade above.
Though neither Half God-realm martial cultivators nor God-Robe Spirit World Masters could break past the limits of True Gods and True Dragon Spirit World Masters, Jie Tian's current combat power, beneath only True Gods and True Dragons, was already extraordinarily terrifying.
"Why bother hiding it?"
"Are you afraid of losing to me again and being too ashamed to show your face?" Xiao Yu'er asked.
At this, Jie Tian simply smiled faintly.
"They don't deserve to see what I'm capable of."
"But you — you do have that right."
"Xianhai Yu'er, I admit you are strong. In the past, I truly was no match for you."
"But now, I, Jie Tian, am a completely different person. You... cannot possibly defeat me again."
Jie Tian spoke to Xiao Yu'er.
His eyes held excitement, even agitation, but above all, confidence — absolute confidence.
He had sacrificed so much for this day.
Now, he had finally arrived.
Finally arrived at his chance to wash away the shame of his defeat.
And seeing Jie Tian standing there brimming with confidence, looking for all the world like victory was already in his grasp, Xiao Yu'er laughed.
"Is this your trump card?"
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."
The moment those words left Xiao Yu'er's lips, a peculiar aura emanated from within her body.
As that aura was released, the energy radiating around Xiao Yu'er shifted as well.
And seeing Xiao Yu'er's transformation, Jie Tian's expression changed dramatically. The confidence he had shown moments ago vanished in an instant.
...
"That hidden formation — Jie Tian set it up, right?"
"That Xianhai Yu'er's God-Sealing martial technique was so powerful, and he still didn't lose?"
"But why would he set up a formation like that? What's happening between them now?"
The crowd was desperate to know. Though most of them couldn't make out the specifics of the battle, they had at least been able to enjoy the spectacle. But now, they could see nothing at all.
"Chu Feng, can you see anything?" Feng Ling asked Chu Feng.
"The Combat Platform already has its own special formations, and Jie Tian's hidden barrier is no simple matter either. With both layered on top of each other, even I can't see through it," Chu Feng said.
"This Jie Tian fellow — does he really have a King-level bloodline too? Could Xiao Yu'er be in trouble?" Feng Ling said with worry.
It wasn't just her who was worried. Xian Miaomaol and Long Muxi were both concerned for Xiao Yu'er as well. Though they had only spent a short time together, they had all grown fond of this little sister.
"Look, the barrier is starting to dissolve."
Before long, people noticed that the barrier which had sealed off the Combat Platform was dissipating.
Before it had fully faded, Xiao Yu'er's figure leaped out from inside the Combat Platform.
Seeing Xiao Yu'er, Chu Feng and the others all breathed a sigh of relief — she was completely unharmed.
"Jie Tian, he..."
As the barrier dissipated, people quickly spotted Jie Tian as well.
Not only had Jie Tian already lost consciousness, but a bloody hole had been punched clean through his body. Blood gushed ceaselessly from his nose and mouth.
Clearly, this duel had ended with Jie Tian's defeat once again.
