Chapter 655: The Power of Yaoyao

Fierce and violent blood-red Genesis Qi roared forth, colliding like an enraged dragon with the surging tide of Spirit power ahead. The ensuing raging winds tore through the surroundings, leaving them riddled with holes.

Zhan Taiqing's figure flickered backward, a chill surging across her beautiful face. After fighting Yaoyao for a long time, she hadn't gained any advantage; the latter's Spirit power was simply astonishingly strong.

"Useless!"

At this moment, Zhan Taiqing's crimson eyes glanced at the peak. She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but curse.

Clearly, she had also sensed the dissipation of Jin Chanzi's life force.

This made her somewhat disbelieving. Although Jin Chanzi was slightly weaker than her, even she would find it difficult to kill him. Yet now, Jin Chanzi had been killed by that mere chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect?

How did that guy do it?

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As she was momentarily distracted, dozens of Spirit needles suddenly appeared around her, shooting directly towards her.

Blood-red Genesis Qi surged from Zhan Taiqing's body, blocking all the Spirit needles. She raised her head, looking at Yaoyao's figure not far away, her beautiful face darkening slightly.

She knew that with Jin Chanzi's death, the current situation was extremely unfavorable for their Sacred Palace.

Jiang Taishen would likely not be able to defeat Chu Qing anytime soon, so if she didn't achieve a victory or defeat here, Zhou Yuan would likely seize the jade tablet first!

In that case, their Sacred Palace would undoubtedly lose to the Cangxuan Sect in this competition for the Mysterium Origin Cave.

If they returned to the Sacred Palace with such a result, even they, the Sacred Sons, would likely not escape punishment.

A fierce glint flashed in Zhan Taiqing's beautiful eyes. At this moment, she had to step forward.

Although Yaoyao's Spirit was powerful, her Genesis Qi and physical body were both weaknesses. As long as she could get close enough to attack, she would surely defeat Yaoyao.

Zhan Taiqing's beautiful eyes flickered. She could feel numerous invisible Spirit walls standing around, blocking her while also protecting Yaoyao, preventing her from getting close.

Those Spirit barriers were so strong that even she would find them difficult to destroy quickly.

However, those were ordinary methods...

And at this moment, she could no longer hold back.

A cold glint appeared in Zhan Taiqing's eyes. The next moment, she suddenly whispered in her heart, "Blood-Burning Secret Art!"

Terrifying blood-red flames suddenly surged from Zhan Taiqing's body. Her internal blood seemed to ignite, causing her Genesis Qi to surge forth powerfully.

An astonishing pressure erupted from within her.

The Genesis Qi Zhan Taiqing cultivated was integrated into her blood. Now, with her blood burning via a secret art, her power would be unleashed to its maximum. However, this secret art had side effects; afterward, to replenish her blood, she would have to extract an unknown amount of blood from others.

The ground around Zhan Taiqing continuously collapsed.

Her beautiful eyes coldly stared at Yaoyao in the distance, and she said chillingly, "Little slut, I'll tear you apart alive this time!"

The instant her voice fell, her figure transformed into a streak of blood-red light and shot out. A torrent of blood-red Genesis Qi surged past, instantly shattering the layers of Spirit barriers.

Seeing this, Yaoyao's beautiful face seemed to stiffen slightly, and she swiftly retreated.

"Can you escape?!" Zhan Taiqing sneered. Her speed surged, and in a few breaths, she tore through all Spirit obstructions, rapidly closing in on Yaoyao.

"Great Blood Demon Art!"

With a sharp shriek, Zhan Taiqing's snow-white skin gradually glowed red. Her fingernails elongated, becoming blood-red and jade-like. As her nails swept past, even the void was torn with faint ripples.

Clearly, Zhan Taiqing had now completely unleashed her full combat power.

Facing an assault like hers, even Jiang Taishen would have to exert himself.

Zhan Taiqing instantly closed in on Yaoyao, her blood-red, jade-like nails becoming streaks of afterimages, tearing apart all the Spirit defenses around Yaoyao.

The two women were now within arm's reach.

Zhan Taiqing's red lips curled into a cruel arc. "Without Genesis Qi, what can you do with just Spirit power?"

"Watch me tear your beautiful face to shreds!"

Her blood-jade-like nails were like sharp awls, instantly tearing space and bringing forth sharp sonic booms as they savagely ripped towards Yaoyao's cheek with lightning speed.

At this close range, although Spirit barriers rapidly appeared in front of Yaoyao, they were still effortlessly torn apart by Zhan Taiqing.

Outside the mountain, countless gazes fixed on the scene immediately erupted in gasps of alarm.

Zhan Taiqing struck with extreme viciousness. Before the gasps could even subside, her blood-jade-like nails, carrying unmatched destructive power, had already pierced Yaoyao's cheek.

A cruel smirk appeared at the corner of Zhan Taiqing's lips.

"This time, let's see if you'll die!"

However, just as the cruel smirk appeared on her lips, her pupils sharply constricted. She saw that the Yaoyao whose cheek had been pierced showed no blood flowing.

Yaoyao's figure in front of her shimmered slightly, then gradually faded into nothingness.

"A Spirit clone?!"

Zhan Taiqing's heart pounded wildly, her eyes filled with disbelief. This figure before her was actually a Spirit clone? How strong was Zhou Xiaoyao's Spirit, to be able to even condense a Spirit clone?!

Zhan Taiqing's face turned grim, and she retreated swiftly without hesitation.

However, the instant she rapidly retreated, the void before her shimmered, and Yaoyao's graceful figure appeared. She lightly extended her slender, jade-like finger, following like a shadow, and as if piercing through space, it darted like lightning towards Zhan Taiqing's glabella.

Zhan Taiqing frantically retreated, but she was utterly unable to evade the descending slender jade finger.

At this moment, a hint of terror finally appeared in her eyes.

The slender, elegant finger, without a trace of flourish, descended directly onto Zhan Taiqing's glabella. At that instant, an astonishing Spirit shockwave erupted.

A shrill scream erupted from Zhan Taiqing's mouth as her figure stumbled backward in disarray, blood flowing from her eyes, nose, and ears.

There were no physical injuries on her body, but her face was filled with terror.

Because Yaoyao's attack had directly impacted her Spirit.

Large mouthfuls of blood spewed from Zhan Taiqing's mouth. Faint cracks seemed to appear on her glabella, a sign that her Spirit was about to be destroyed. And once her Spirit shattered, Zhan Taiqing would instantly become a living dead person.

The intense pain from her glabella filled Zhan Taiqing's beautiful face with terror. She frantically urged her Genesis Qi, channeling it towards her glabella to continuously dissolve the Spirit shockwave. At the same time, she dared not linger for another moment, directly fleeing in utter disarray towards the direction where the Sacred Palace disciples were gathered.

If she had stayed, her Spirit might genuinely have been annihilated there.

However, her flight indicated her defeat in the fight with Yaoyao.

Earlier, Jin Chanzi had been killed by Zhou Yuan. Now, Zhan Taiqing had also been defeated by Yaoyao, her Spirit severely injured. This meant that the outcome of this struggle for the Seventh Peak between the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect was basically clear.

On the peak.

When Zhou Yuan sensed Zhan Taiqing's defeat, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been preparing to immediately provide aid if anything unexpected happened on Yaoyao's side.

But clearly, he had still underestimated Yaoyao's strength.

While Zhan Taiqing was formidable, Yaoyao was even more so.

Zhou Yuan's gaze swept towards the foot of the mountain, where Chu Qing and Jiang Taishen were still in a standoff. However, with the defeats of Jin Chanzi and Zhan Taiqing, the Sacred Palace's momentum was gone.

Jiang Taishen alone would likely not be able to turn the tide.

So he shook his head, no longer paying attention. Instead, under the countless fervent gazes, he walked directly towards the quietly standing mysterious jade tablet.

Next, it was time for him to collect the fruits of victory.

He truly wanted to see how many treasures this jade tablet contained!
