Chapter 139: Fighting Su Zi Once Again

Back in the day, the strength of the Four Great Saint Demons was universally at the Decem-State. Even though they all eventually fell, it was enough to prove the formidable nature of their bloodlines. Although the Blue Nether Brake summoned by Su Zi was only at the sixth rank, possessing the bloodline of a Saint Demon meant its combat power was far from being as simple as a mere sixth rank.

Mo Wuhuan’s eyes flickered, and he was already prepared to step in and rescue at any moment. The secret that Ye Zihan possessed all five elements was known only to Phantom Lady; Mo Wuhuan was completely unaware of it.

"Is it still this same trick?" Ye Zihan chuckled lightly. The Crimson Lotus Dagger flashed in his hand as he fiercely charged toward the Blue Nether Brake.

"Why aren't you summoning that Thousand-Nether Blood Illusion Dragon?" Seeing that Ye Zihan was actually not summoning Mo You to fight, Su Zi asked in startled doubt.

"He is not my summoned beast, but my brother. A battle like this is my own fight. How could I let my brother step up? Having me is enough." Ye Zihan’s figure flickered as he had already closed in on the Blue Nether Brake.

"Roar!"

The Blue Nether Brake let out a wild roar, brandishing the Nine-Nether Pitchfork as it viciously thrust toward Ye Zihan. The sheer explosive force was so intense that even Ye Zihan did not dare to take it head-on lightly. With a light and nimble leap, the tips of his toes tapped against the pitchfork, and with an aerial tumble, he landed athletically right behind the Blue Nether Brake.

"After all, you are just a low-intelligence demonic beast."

Wielding the Crimson Lotus Dagger, streaks of red light rained down on the back of the Blue Nether Brake. The scorching elemental fire energy burned the beast's back until it was charred black.

"Roar!" The Blue Nether Brake let out a painful roar, its body spinning rapidly while the Nine-Nether Pitchfork swept around in a horizontal arc.

Ye Zihan lowered his body, once again launching a flurry of fierce stabs at the Blue Nether Brake's legs.

"Blue Nether Brake!" Su Zi had not expected Ye Zihan to personally engage the Blue Nether Brake in close combat, let alone hold his ground without a disadvantage and even injure the creature. She hurriedly formed hand seals.

"Water Bind!"

Several streams of blue water wrapped Ye Zihan and the Blue Nether Brake together. Ye Zihan instantly felt his speed severely restricted, whereas the Blue Nether Brake's strength surged conversely, allowing it to evade Ye Zihan's attacks while simultaneously launching offensive maneuvers against him.

With a震 (tremor) of source energy throughout his body, Ye Zihan abruptly broke free from the water's entanglement. Tapping the ground with his toes, he shot toward Su Zi like a cannonball.

"Water Bind!"

"Frost Arrow Qi!"

The Blue Nether Brake gave chase in a panic as Su Zi rapidly formed hand seals. Several streams of water coiled toward Ye Zihan, closely followed by dozens of icy arrows condensed from water-type source energy.

"Water World!" Finally, the space within three zhang around Su Zi suddenly became completely saturated with water—strikingly mirroring that bizarre secret technique that had previously trapped Ye Zihan.

Just as Ye Zihan was charging forward, he was once again reeled in by the pull of the water bind streams, causing him to fall uncontrollably into the water world suddenly shaped by Su Zi. Heavy moisture pressure bore down on him, while bloodthirsty, life-claiming water-attribute spirit beasts lunged toward him from within.

"As expected of the Young Mistress of Misty Rain Pavilion, to actually possess such an ultimate technique!" Hua Zhiyin looked at Su Zi's water world and sighed in admiration. For someone like Su Zi to shape a source energy world of her own required exceptionally high demands on source energy, needing sufficiently massive source energy support. Generally, one had to reach the Seven-Star realm to execute it; executing it at the Eighth-State realm was exceedingly difficult and required specific secret arts. Yet Su Zi was able to achieve this, which was partly due to related ultimate techniques and arts, and largely related to her exceptional talent.

"You were able to trap me last time, but do you really think it will be that easy this time?" Ye Zihan smiled while fending off the attacks of the spirit beasts.

"What? Could it be that you intend to use the Tree Spirits to restrain my water world just like you did against Yu Ming earlier? Don't go getting yourself drowned." Su Zi smiled brightly and charmingly. Sensing the fluctuation of source energy on Ye Zihan, she assumed he was about to employ the exact same method he used against Yu Ming just now.

Just as Ye Zihan entered the water world and everyone else was filled with anxiety—to the extent that even Mo Wuhuan could not help wanting to make a move—Yan Chen wore a sighing expression as he said to Chen Yiyan and Mo You, "Ah, public morals are truly degenerating nowadays. To actually hide inside that so-called water world right in front of so many people... Tell me, how are us single guys supposed to bear this? Do they really think others can't see them just by doing that?"

"Yan Chen, are you having spring fever? I think Su Wu and Su Die by Lady Su Zi's side are quite suitable for you. You could try experiencing a double embrace." Mo You finished eating the crystal core in its hand, flapped its wings, and landed on Yan Chen's shoulder. Having hung around Yan Chen for so long, the once pure Mo You had gradually grown somewhat gossipy and cheeky.

"Scram." Yan Chen swiped his hand to brush Mo You away.

"Those two fierce women? Only ghosts would like them." Yan Chen muttered, "Besides, their chests are so small."

"Hahaha! Yan Chen, so you like girls with big chests after all! You should've said so earlier. Our Thousand-Nether Blood Illusion Dragon clan has quite a few of them that would definitely meet your requirements. I'll introduce one to you when I go back someday, haha." Mo You wasn't angry at all; it once again landed on top of Yan Chen's head to sit, wearing a mischievous grin.

"Get lost. How can a little brat like you understand adult matters?" Yan Chen scolded unceremoniously.

"Who's little? Do you dare compare with me? As long as I revert to my true form, I am definitely bigger than you." Mo You flew in front of Yan Chen, spreading all four limbs to display its magnificence to him.

"..." Yan Chen covered his face and turned away; he had been utterly defeated by Mo You.

"The student surpasses the master." Chen Yiyan offered a concise and comprehensive evaluation.

...

Inside the water world, Ye Zihan and Su Zi were confronting each other tit-for-tat, entirely unlike what certain people had imagined.

"That's right. I am indeed going to deal with this water world of yours just like I dealt with Yu Ming, but not by using the Tree Spirits!" Ye Zihan smiled mysteriously. Right now, being trapped inside Su Zi's water world, he had no way to approach her directly.

"Earth Vein Suppression!"

Rumble!

A burst of dense earth-source energy surged out from within Ye Zihan's body. The originally thick water-source energy within the water world instantly encountered its nemesis and natural predator, continuously shrinking and rapidly converging toward Su Zi's body.

"Cultivating three elements simultaneously?!"

The moment the earth-source energy erupted from Ye Zihan's body, Su Zi plunged into a state of profound shock.

She had always assumed Ye Zihan was a dual-element cultivator, which was already exceptionally rare. Yet she never expected that Ye Zihan was actually someone who cultivated three elements simultaneously!

"Three elements cultivated simultaneously... Back then, that old ancestor of the Yeyue family, Yeyue Jin, was a genius who cultivated three elements simultaneously, and later became a peerless powerhouse of the Decem-State!"

Su Zi was struck dumb with astonishment, causing the controlled water world to instantly collapse. Meanwhile, Ye Zihan very promptly reeled back all of his earth-source energy. Executing it inside the water world meant people on the outside couldn't sense it, but once the water world collapsed, others would discover this secret of his, which would undoubtedly trigger a massive sensation.

Whoosh!

While Su Zi was still in shock, Ye Zihan immediately closed in. The Crimson Lotus Dagger pressed against Su Zi's jade-white neck, its blade glowing and pulsing.

It was only then that Su Zi snapped out of her shock. When the water-source energy was retracted earlier, she had been too stunned to maintain control, and at this moment, the clothes of both of them were completely drenched.

"Tsk tsk, take a look at that! This pair of wet-bodied lovers—just how intense must that fight have been just now? Their whole bodies are drenched like this, sigh." Seeing the current appearance of Ye Zihan and Su Zi, Yan Chen could not help launching into another bout of exclamation, his desolate expression heavily laden with the sentiment of how lonely life is like snow.

"Mm, makes sense." The innocent Chen Yiyan also voiced his opinion at this moment, because the posture of Su Zi and Ye Zihan right now was far too ambiguous. The two of them were pressed against each other completely drenched; Ye Zihan was held tightly close to Su Zi, and that posture and demeanor would cause anyone who saw it to let their imagination run wild.

"Kiss her! Kiss her!"

"Hahahaha!" Seeing this situation, the crowd all started jeering. Realizing the awkwardness between the two of them, Ye Zihan hurriedly stepped back and dried his clothes with energy, while Su Zi also quickly dried her garments.

"I admit defeat!" By the time she finished drying her clothes and hair, Su Zi had slowly regained her composure and immediately conceded defeat.

Since Su Zi had already surrendered, there was no need to continue fighting. However, as Su Zi stepped down from the stage, her gaze could not help lingering on Ye Zihan once more, her heart filled with boundless curiosity.

"What kind of person is he, really?"
