Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife Chapter 1224-1226 God King High Realm
Previously on Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife...
Xiao Yu subtly pressed her lips together, but she offered no comment. Yet, a chilling gleam surged within her clear eyes...
She could already picture the despair on those women's faces...
Although all the lot drawing papers were kept in a container, Zhou Min didn't need her eyes to ascertain the names; she could sense them through her abilities...
She drew two papers from a red container. After a brief glance, she announced emotionlessly, "The first match will be Mu Ru Yue versus Chu Kuang (Pain Mad)!"
Chu Kuang...
As that name echoed in the crowd's ears, everyone was rendered speechless by shock.
This woman's luck was astonishingly good, drawing Battle Blade Chu Kuang as her opponent.
It was well-known that Chu Kuang was renowned as the 'Battle Frenzy' within God Academy!
Several Elder Apprentice siblings had been challenged by him sequentially since his entry into God Academy four years ago, earning him the title Battle Frenzy.
Furthermore, his cultivation had reached the God-King Peak realm!
What did the God-King Peak realm signify? He was among the foremost students of God Academy's disciples, ranking sixth in the entire academy!
It could be said that out of at least ten thousand disciples in God Academy, only six individuals could defeat Chu Kuang!
Regardless of how exceptional Mu Ru Yue's innate talents were, she was merely at the God-King Mid realm. How could she possibly contend with Chu Kuang, who was at the God-King Peak realm?
"Yue Er."
Yi Lian's heart tightened as she spoke, "You must be cautious. Chu Kuang loses his rationality during battle and only knows how to massacre. His combat strength escalates with stronger opponents. While Chu Kuang is immensely confident and typically refrains from drawing his sword in ordinary fights, the moment he does, opponents of the same cultivation level have been instantly killed by him! This is how he earned his title, Battle Blade Chu Kuang! You can only imagine his power..."
Mu Ru Yue slightly knitted her brows.
'It appears he is indeed a formidable adversary.'
Nevertheless, she ascended the arena stage without hesitation.
A man was casually leaning against an old tree not far away. He slightly narrowed his sinister yet charming eyes, a wicked glint flashing past them.
But upon seeing the woman heading toward the arena, his smile turned gentle...
"So, you are Mu Ru Yue?"
The man gazed arrogantly and domineeringly at the woman standing before him on the arena, asking coldly.
Mu Ru Yue shifted her gaze to the man upon hearing his words.
Undeniably, this man possessed an exceptionally handsome appearance, his features seemingly carved by a knife. His grey eyes held an icily arrogant and egotistical look, showing little regard for others.
A horizontal knife scar marked his handsome face; however, it did not detract from his appearance in the slightest, instead enhancing his allure...
Currently, a broadsword was slung across his back, concealed beneath white cloth, hiding its form...
It was evident Chu Kuang was truly confident in his prowess, as he had no intention of drawing his sword.
"You may utilize weapons to fight me."
Chu Kuang tilted his chin, looking down at Mu Ru Yue.
Mu Ru Yue offered a faint smile and inquired, "Aren't you using one?"
"You... currently lack the qualification to make me draw my sword. I shall first assess your capabilities before deciding if you are worthy of me unsheathing my battle blade!"

The man's voice was arrogant and brazen, his eyes veiled with a layer of darkness.
Swish!
As Mu Ru Yue raised her hand, the Heavenly Dragon Flame Sword was grasped within her palm.
She gave a slight smirk and commented, "In that case, I shall not hold back. A Sword That Pierces Through The Heavens!"
'A Sword That Pierces Through The Heavens?'
Lin Ruo Yu's body stiffened momentarily upon hearing those seven words. She seemed to lift her head, staring at the woman who mercilessly slashed down with the large sword in disbelief.
"A Sword That Pierces Through The Heavens? How is this possible? How can she know the 'A Sword That Pierces Through The Heavens' move?"
'A Sword That Pierces Through The Heavens was Wu Wang's ultimate move back then. How could she possibly know that sword technique?'
Lin Ruo Yu's face was instantly alight with excitement as she gazed at Mu Ru Yue, unable and unwilling to tear her eyes away.
Greed was evident in her gaze, as if she were trying to etch that final, deadly move into her memory. Only then could she continue to hold onto the belief that he was still alive in this world…
Boom!
As the sky-borne flames descended, Chu Kuang was compelled to take several steps back.
He lifted his handsome face, his grey eyes fixing on Mu Ru Yue. Narrowing his gaze slightly, he charged towards her without any preamble.
Swish!
Green flames erupted from his palm, shooting directly towards Mu Ru Yue's head.
Sensing the aura closing in from behind, Mu Ru Yue hastily countered, unleashing her own flames at Chu Kuang, forcing him to retreat a couple of steps once more…
The onlookers, who had been eagerly anticipating a spectacle, were stunned.
They had fully expected Chu Kuang to defeat Mu Ru Yue instantly. Why, then, was *he* the one being forced back?
"You've proven worthy enough for me to draw my sword!" Chu Kuang's voice dripped with icy arrogance as he looked down at Mu Ru Yue…
Following this declaration, his hand moved gradually towards his back, gently resting on the hilt of his broadsword…
"Drawing his sword? Is Chu Kuang actually going to draw his sword?"
"It's widely known that Chu Kuang never draws his sword in battle unless facing opponents of considerable might whom he respects! Could it be that this woman's power is already enough to earn his recognition?"
The crowd collectively gasped, their gazes fixed on Mu Ru Yue in astonishment.
How formidable must this woman be to compel Chu Kuang to unsheathe his weapon?
Swish!
Chu Kuang drew his broadsword. An immediate surge of tyrannical grandeur emanated from him, pressing down upon Mu Ru Yue.
A fierce gale sprang into existence. The man gripped the battle sword tightly in his hand amidst the roaring wind, as if the sword itself was the source of the tempest surrounding him.
"Hur! Hur!"
Zhou Min let out a low chuckle, commenting, "With Chu Kuang's strength, he could have overwhelmed her easily. But this woman is quite impressive to have made Chu Kuang draw his sword! It's a profound pity; she likely won't land a single blow now that Chu Kuang has his sword…"
A gust of wind materialized within Chu Kuang's grasp. As the broadsword struck the floor, the ground instantly fractured, sending rocks hurtling towards Mu Ru Yue.
A wave of pity washed over the crowd as they witnessed the formidable assault.
She was surely going to lose this time…
The mighty storm struck Mu Ru Yue's chest, and in that instant, she was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Glancing at Mu Ru Yue, who had collapsed on the arena floor, Zhou Min smirked slightly and declared, "The victor of the first round of the competition is decided. Therefore…"
"Wait!"
Zhou Min frowned slightly at the interruption. She cast a glance at the woman who was slowly rising to her feet and inquired, "How are you still standing?"
Chapter 1226 - God King High Realm Part 9
Even they could sense the sheer power of Chu Kuang's broadsword strike. Yet, she was still on her feet…
"Aren't you being a bit too hasty?"
Mu Ru Yue wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of her lips, a cold snigger escaping her. "I haven't lost yet. You've declared him the victor prematurely. As a judge, you're far too impatient."
Zhou Min's expression shifted dramatically under the gaze of the crowd. She sneered, retorting, "Mu Ru Yue, I'm doing you a favor. You are no match for him. Why needlessly endure further pain and torture? You should concede as quickly as possible…"
"I apologize, but the word 'concede' simply doesn't exist in my vocabulary. I will win this match!"
Mu Ru Yue tilted her head upwards slightly.
As the morning sunlight graced Mu Ru Yue's face, her features appeared incredibly radiant, causing Chu Kuang's gaze to falter momentarily.
"Very well. Since you are so determined, do not blame me for not issuing a proper warning later!"
Zhou Min clenched her teeth, retorting sharply.
"You... are good."
Chu Kuang lifted his chin, his expression cold and solemn. "I, Chu Kuang, have never acted in unison with anyone else. Yet, you are the first. I shall fight you to the very end in this match, regardless of the outcome. This is because you have piqued my interest in this battle! I sincerely hope you can satisfy me within this contest!"
"You flatter me too much."
Mu Ru Yue offered a faint smile.
With that, she launched her attack without any warning…
"A Sword That Pierces The Heavens!"
Swish!
Flames surged forth instantly, descending with merciless intensity. In a mere moment, the entire sky was painted a deep crimson. The flames coalesced into an enormous sword, poised to strike down upon the man on the ground…
A flicker of excitement danced in Chu Kuang's eyes as he witnessed the power emanating from the attack. He let out a hearty laugh before bracing to receive the blow…
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion echoed, reducing the entire arena to rubble. Amidst the debris, two figures stood, both battered and bruised. Yet, Chu Kuang felt an exhilaration he hadn't experienced in ages! 'This is amazing! 'So exhilarating! 'It's been so long since I've had such a thrilling fight. I can finally go all out…' "Young Master Chu is… laughing?" "I recall the last time he laughed like this was nearly two years ago. And now, he's laughing again…" The crowd gasped, their hearts filled with astonishment as they observed Chu Kuang's beaming countenance. "It's been ages since I've had such a fun battle. Let's continue!" Chu Kuang declared, brandishing his broadsword and advancing towards Mu Ru Yue. The clash between them had reached its zenith upon the ruined stage. Blood trickled from the corner of Chu Kuang's lips, accentuating the icy arrogance etched on his face. However, Mu Ru Yue was clearly in an equally dire state, a gaping wound on her shoulder hemorrhaging blood. Zhou Min's expression shifted from initial disdain to a deathly pale hue. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Mu Ru Yue. "Young Master Chu is only managing a stalemate with her now!" Zhou Min spat with venom. "If not for the top five disciples being away on their experiential journeys, I wouldn't have intentionally drawn lots to make Chu Kuang face her. Given the current situation, Chu Kuang will need considerable time to defeat her…" Zhou Min clenched her fists, drawing a deep breath. 'This is my only opportunity. I cannot allow her to advance…' A ferocious green tempest erupted from Chu Kuang's blade, engulfing Mu Ru Yue in an instant. Boom! The attack struck Mu Ru Yue squarely in the chest.
