So it turned out that what
Having forced out Murong Yu's Demon Spirit,
Indeed, with Murong Yu's Six-Life Realm cultivation combined with the Sacred Blood Dragon Eagle, even if Nie Li was confident he could defeat him, it would certainly be a grueling battle — and he might even have to expose his god-tier growth-type Dragon Blood Demon Spirit.
Now was not the time to reveal the Sacred Blood Winged Flood Dragon.
However, why would Nie Li need to fight Murong Yu to a standstill? Before the match even began, he had already made his preparations.
A faint smile curled at the corner of Nie Li's lips. Murong Yu had the misfortune of crossing paths with him — his doom was sealed. With a flick of his right hand, he drew the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword that he had prepared beforehand. Bolts of thick lightning converged upon the blade, creating a spectacular sight. The divine thunder's power clashed fiercely against Murong Yu's strength, producing a chain of explosive booms in the air.
The two forces on the arena floor were locked in a dead heat, stunning all the spectators.
Just with a single weapon, he could go toe-to-toe with the Sacred Blood Winged Flood Dragon?
Nie Li's weapon was probably at least a seventh or even eighth-grade treasure.
Yet when it came to Nie Li, there seemed to be an exception.
Although they couldn't determine exactly what grade Nie Li's treasure armor was, Huang Yu and Nanmen Tianhai were almost certain it was at least fourth-grade — Murong Yu's fist strikes simply couldn't penetrate it.
And now, Nie Li had actually produced an offensive treasure of seventh or possibly even eighth grade.
Whatever that treasure in Nie Li's hands was, it could actually rival his power. But did he think he could beat him with just a single treasure? Impossible! A sinister chill flashed through Murong Yu's eyes. He let out a long howl and swept his razor-sharp claws down toward Nie Li.
Those razor-sharp claws carried a vast, overwhelming force. The shockwave rippling outward caused the barrier surrounding the arena to tremble violently.
This was Murong Yu's furious strike, charged with boundless power. Pillars of flame rained down like a torrential downpour falling from the heavens.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The residual shockwaves from the flames hammered into the ground, shattering it instantly as cracks spread outward like a spider's web.
The overwhelming power Murong Yu displayed left the spectators utterly astonished. They had never imagined his strength could reach such a terrifying level.
"Now Nie Li is dead for sure!"
The crowd gathered near the arena murmured among themselves.
They hadn't expected Nie Li to force Murong Yu into revealing his full strength. They refused to believe that under these circumstances, a mere newcomer could still stand against Murong Yu.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Pillars of flame struck Nie Li's body, blasting several large holes through the surface and revealing the faintly silver armor beneath.
Just as Nie Li was about to be engulfed by the terrifying flames, an invisible force radiated outward from him in all directions, forming a barrier.
The scorching flames continued to detonate against it, but every blast was deflected by the barrier, utterly unable to harm Nie Li in the slightest.
BOOM!
The Holy Blood Dragon Eagle's razor-sharp claws slammed into the barrier surrounding Nie Li. A powerful repulsive force surged back, causing the Holy Blood Dragon Eagle's body to shudder to a halt.
"This is impossible!" Murong Yu screamed internally. He had merged this strike with the Holy Blood Dragon Eagle — even a powerhouse at the Seven Life Realm would have been hard-pressed to withstand it, yet this attack had landed on Nie Li and hadn't even singed a hair on his body.
The very instant Murong Yu's attack came down, a faint smile tugged at the corner of Nie Li's lips. He raised the Meteor Thunder God Sword in his hand, and all the divine lightning power in the surrounding void converged upon the blade.
With a single swing of the sword, a pillar of thunder descended from the sky.
A thunderous boom rang out as the lightning pillar struck the Holy Blood Dragon Eagle.
