Systemless Villain

Chapter 146 Blue Phoenix vs Darkness Bearer

Liu Qian and Li Yue'er ascended the arena, drawing a crowd that edged closer to witness the impending fight.

Liu Qian's eyes were razor-sharp, freezing Li Yue'er with icy glare.

Li Yue'er, on the other hand, felt a surge of awkward and discomfort under Liu Qian's piercing stare, her every move scrutinized.

"Prepare yourselves!" commanded Xiao Zhu, his voice cutting through the tense atmosphere.

With those words, Liu Qian and Li Yue'er assumed battle stances. Despite lacking cultivation prowess, the atmosphere crackled with the intensity of their determination.

Both women harbored a ferocious desire for victory. For Liu Qian, it was a chance to teach Li Yue'er a harsh lesson after catching her in a repulsive act. Meanwhile, Li Yue'er was driven by the need to uphold her dignity and win at any cost.

"Get ready... Begin!" Xiao Zhu declared.

As the whistle blew, Li Yue'er and Liu Qian started sizing each other up, their gazes sharp and focused. Previously evenly matched, now both were determined to emerge victorious.

In a swift motion, Liu Qian lunged forward, her fist propelled with brutal force. Li Yue'er, displaying remarkable agility, effortlessly sidestepped the blow, narrowly evading the attack.

Liu Qian closed the gap between them, her footwork graceful and precise, aiming for Li Yue'er's midsection. With a series of calculated jabs and hooks, she attempted to break through Li Yue'er's defenses. However, Li Yue'er, trained by Long Tian in the ancient martial arts, expertly sidestepped each blow, her movements fluid and controlled.

Li Yue'er retaliated with a powerful roundhouse kick, aiming for Liu Qian's head. Liu Qian ducked just in time, her blonde hair swishing as she evaded the attack. She countered with a combination of kicks and punches, displaying her MMA expertise. Li Yue'er blocked the strikes skillfully, her martial arts training evident in her precise movements.

The crowd watched in awe as the two of them exchanged blows, each showcasing their unique fighting styles. Liu Qian's boxing and MMA techniques clashed with Li Yue'er's traditional martial arts, creating a dynamic and intense battle.

In the ordinary world, martial arts might lose to MMA, but in this realm brimming with spiritual energy, martial arts have evolved and stood their ground.

Li Yue'er, determined to prove her strength, unleashed a rapid series of strikes, her fists and feet moving like a blur. Liu Qian, undeterred, dodged and weaved through the onslaught, countering with her own powerful kicks and punches. The arena echoed with the sounds of their blows meeting the air.

As the battle raged on, Li Yue'er's forceful blows drove Liu Qian back, causing her to stagger uncontrollably. Sensing the perfect chance, Li Yue'er seized the moment, her fists clenched with deadly intent, aiming to conclude the fight with a merciless final strike.

However, in a swift maneuver, Liu Qian sidestepped Li Yue'er's powerful punch, her grin widening with sinister intent. With lightning reflexes, she seized Li Yue'er's arm and body, swiftly hoisting her into the air.

Li Yue'er's face contorted in shock, realizing the impending danger, but it was too late. With formidable strength, Liu Qian lifted Li Yue'er, her head pointing downward and her legs suspended in the air.

With a tremendous force, she slammed Li Yue'er onto the arena floor, creating a deafening impact that sent shockwaves through the ground, resonating across the entire arena.

Applause and admiration echoed from the spectators outside the arena; everyone was genuinely astounded by Liu Qian's fierce battle with Li Yue'er.

Meanwhile, Long Tian remained watching with his arms folded across his chest. He had to admit, Liu Qian was more experienced in hand-to-hand combat, a contrast to Li Yue'er, who was proficient in the art of killing.

Xiao Zhu, observing Li Yue'er sprawled on the arena floor, swiftly counted, "1... 2... 3..."

Liu Qian gazed at Li Yue'er with pride; she felt a sense of relief and an odd satisfaction after defeating her.

On the other side, Li Yue'er's pupils disappeared entirely, along with her consciousness. The force of Liu Qian's slam had struck her head, rendering her unconscious.

Xiao Zhu continued counting, "7... 8... 9..." However, his words halted at 9 as Li Yue'er staggered back to her feet.

Witnessing this, Liu Qian didn't allow Li Yue'er a chance to recover; she dashed forward, delivering a punch.

However, Li Yue'er managed to catch her punch; Li Yue'er's expression grew colder than before, her irises deepening in dark hue. "Pathetic, I didn't expect to lose to a greenhorn," she sneered.

In retaliation, she swiftly countered, but Liu Qian skillfully parried. The force of Li Yue'er's strike forced Liu Qian to retreat a few steps, taken aback by Li Yue'er's unexpected surge in power.

Even so, Li Yue'er materialized before her in an instant, launching a flurry of ferocious punches.

Liu Qian fought desperately to fend them off, each blow echoing with a brutal "thump!" as it landed.

The spectators, utterly captivated, remained silent; there were no cheers or applause, only intense focus on the ruthless battle unfolding before them.

Meanwhile, Long Tian wore a serious expression. From Li Yue'er's appearance, it was clear she was no longer herself; her demeanor was exactly like a few weeks ago when her martial spirit had possessed her.

But he remained silent, watching how the battle would unfold. If things didn't go well, he would then intervene.

In the midst of the fight, Liu Qian's expression turned grim; she was utterly overwhelmed by Li Yue'er's unrelenting onslaught.

Suddenly, one of Li Yue'er's punches caught her off guard. Swift as lightning, Li Yue'er seized Liu Qian's neck and ruthlessly slammed her onto the unforgiving arena floor, creating a resounding impact that shook the surroundings.

Agonizing pain shot through Liu Qian's back and the back of her head. Yet, she couldn't afford to relax; Li Yue'er loomed above her.

"I'll inflict a torment worse than death upon you," Li Yue'er said, her tone devoid of mercy.

With fists clenched, she rained down blows upon Liu Qian, each strike resonating with a brutal "thump!" Liu Qian's feeble defense proved futile against Li Yue'er's overwhelming strength.

Every strike against Liu Qian's skin drew blood, leaving a trail of crimson evidence on her pale flesh.

The spectators, gripped by a mix of horror and fascination, watched the brutal spectacle unfold, resembling Li Yue'er mercilessly slaughtering her opponent.

Long Tian, his patience wearing thin, prepared to intervene and put an end to the merciless onslaught.

In a desperate attempt to stop the carnage, Xiao Zhu swiftly blew his whistle, its sharp sound slicing through the air.

"Both of you, stop!" he shouted, his voice carrying the weight of authority.

Yet, Li Yue'er seemed impervious to his command, her fists continuing to rain down upon Liu Qian mercilessly.

Witnessing the brutality, Xiao Zhu and three other immediately deactivated the cultivation base suppression effect. They rushed forward, ready to intervene and rescue Liu Qian from the onslaught.

However, a sudden surge of potent aura halted their advance, freezing them in their tracks.

"Enough!" Liu Qian's voice shout out, simultaneous with a bluish-red aura erupting into the air, forcing Li Yue'er to retreat.

In that moment, Liu Qian hovered in mid-air, a colossal blue phoenix shadow enveloping her. The bruises and blood on her face vanished, leaving her visage untouched, as if the brutal assault had never taken place.

"If you have a personal matter with me, let's settle it here!" her voice sliced through the tension, cold and unyielding.

In stark contrast, Li Yue'er sneered, her form enveloped in darkness, revealing ominous wings unfurling on her back.

The atmosphere darkened, thick with palpable dread. Two S-Class martial spirits clashed, and it was far from ordinary.

The force of their auras surged, and in a swift, brutal motion, Li Yue'er and Liu Qian hurtled towards each other.

Bang!

Their fists met, unleashing a shockwave of potent energy. Numerous students succumbed to the overwhelming pressure, collapsing unconscious.

They moved with lightning speed once more, fiery wings now ablaze on Li Yue'er's back. Their battle in the air echoed with savage clashes, each strike resonating with brutal intensity.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The battle raged on; this time, they landed on the ground and engaged in a brutal fight.

Li Yue'er, with her ability to manipulate darkness, easily countered Li Yue'er's Phoenix fire.

At a crucial moment, she simply raised her hand slightly, and a sword-shaped darkness materialized in her hand, swiftly shooting towards Liu Qian.

With incredible speed, she appeared directly behind Liu Qian. Her grin widened like a devil as she grabbed Liu Qian's severed arm.

However, her grin vanished when Liu Qian's arm, which she held, suddenly evaporated into ashes.

She turned and saw that Liu Qian's arm had regenerated perfectly.

"Funny if you think you can harm a phoenix!" Liu Qian sneered, her voice laced with contempt.

Li Yue'er's expression turned icy once more. "Very well, then I'll just have to kill you thousands of times until you truly die," she said coldly, her tone devoid of mercy.

This time, her dark sword transformed into knuckles, enveloping her hands like a deadly vice.

On the other side, Li Yue'er's attire burst into blue flames, transforming into scorching armor that radiated intense heat.

In the blink of an eye, they both shot towards each other, their speed creating a sharp hiss in the wind.

But as they neared each other, a figure abruptly materialized between them, seizing both of their hands.

They were both startled. The figure in front of them was none other than Long Tian, in his half-dragon form.

"It should end here!" Long Tian's voice echoed, cutting through the charged atmosphere like a blade.

An eerie silence fell upon the field.

Breaking the silence, Li Yue'er spoke with a twisted affection in her voice, "Why are you stopping me, my love? If I kill her, we can be together, just the two of us, forever," her smile widened, a disturbing blend of affection and obsession.
