Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife Chapter 1227-1229 God King High Realm

Mu Ru Yue was sent hurtling backward, crashing hard onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her countenance grew grim and pale, her lips completely devoid of color… The man who had been leaning against a tree slowly straightened, his purple eyes locked onto the arena. Had anyone been beside him, they would have surely noticed his tightly balled fists…

"Yue Er!" Qian Ye cried out, her face draining of color as she anxiously watched Mu Ru Yue. Despite Mu Ru Yue's ability to contend with opponents a realm higher than her own, Chu Wang was a practitioner at the God-king Peak realm, capable of instantly dispatching those at his cultivation level. Thus, a significant power disparity still existed between Chu Wang and her. It was already a remarkable feat that she had managed to last this long in the battle…

"You lost." Chu Wang gazed at the woman collapsed on the stage and declared with arrogance, "But I must admit, I am truly impressed. You managed to battle against me for such a duration with your God-king Mid realm might. Nevertheless, your combat techniques and stamina are sufficient. The sole aspect you lack is raw power. The gap in our strength cannot be bridged…"

'That's right…'

'The only difference between Chu Wang and myself is power…' Mu Ru Yue clenched her fists tightly, waves of pain washing over her…

"This competition can finally be declared over. The victor is…" Zhou Min announced with a beaming smile and elation in her eyes. But before she could finish her declaration, a formidable force erupted from the body of the woman lying on the ground. The power surged skyward, scattering the clouds overhead…

"God-king High realm?" The spectators were astonished. Had Mu Ru Yue just broken through to the God-king High realm? Zhou Min, shocked by this sudden turn of events, only regained her senses after a considerable pause, her gaze fixed on Mu Ru Yue. 'Why? Why did she break through at such a critical moment? Otherwise, she could have been eliminated from the competition!'

"Chu Kuang." Mu Ru Yue rose to her feet, wiping the lingering blood from the corner of her lips. A slight smirk played on her face as she stated, "What you said earlier was correct; the only difference between us is power. However, my power transcends ordinary limits. Before this breakthrough, my strength was comparable to that of a God-king High realm practitioner. But now…"

Swish!

Boundless flames billowed from her back, engulfing her slender form like a cascading waterfall. A massive sword, positioned horizontally before the inferno, radiated an unending brilliance… The Sword That Pierces The Heavens!

Boom!

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, immense power surged towards Chu Kuang. Chu Kuang had not yet recovered his senses at this moment, but by then, it was already too late. The tyrannical flames struck his chest directly. His grey robes soared through the air, crashing heavily into the midst of the crowd. Defeated? Had the esteemed Battle Blade Chu Kuang been defeated? This outcome was difficult for many to comprehend. To the newcomers, Chu Kuang was practically a deity…

Nevertheless, Chu Kuang did not display the slightest displeasure regarding the result. He lifted his head to gaze at the cerulean sky, a contented smile gracing his cold and proud features. Mu Ru Yue sheathed the Heavenly Dragon Flame Sword, gradually turning to head back towards Qian Ye and the others. But a voice called out from behind her, "Wait a moment."

"Hmm?" Mu Ru Yue turned and looked at Chu Kuang, inquiring, "Do you require something from me?"

A scorching glow emanated from Chu Kuang's eyes as he asked, "May I challenge you to battles from now on?"

Mu Ru Yue frowned upon hearing his words. She turned away and refused, "I am not interested. Do not seek me out." She departed without looking back after uttering those words. However, her rejection did not deter Chu Kuang. In his eyes, he had discovered a worthy opponent with great difficulty, and he could not simply give up…

"Mu Ru Yue, you shall be my rival from this day forward. There will come a day when I defeat you!" Mu Ru Yue nearly stumbled. But she understood that Chu Kuang was not issuing a threat. He was simply a person who adored battling…

"Yue Er, you're in a spot of trouble." Li Sha stuck out her tongue and inquired, "Do you know why the top five rankers on the academy's leaderboard are currently absent?"

"What is this ranking board about?" Mu Ru Yue frowned, casting a glance at Li Sha.

Li Sha's eyes widened in shock as she explained, "Yue Er, you truly do not know what the ranking board is, even after being in the academy for so long? The ranking board displays the rankings of all disciples within God Academy. Chu Kuang is ranked sixth, meaning there are five disciples ahead of him. Those five individuals couldn't endure Chu Kuang's constant harassment and chose to leave the academy to gain experience..."

Li Sha pursed her lips after delivering this information, continuing, "Chu Kuang is an absolute madman! Once he identifies someone superior to him, he relentlessly provokes them into battle! Consequently, the disciples stronger than him wisely avoided him by staying away. Now, you have provoked him. It's highly probable he will seek you out to cause trouble..."

"H-he really is a madman."

Mu Ru Yue rubbed her nose, a smile gracing her lips.

"Next, Qian Ye versus Xiao Yu!"

Qian Ye was momentarily taken aback by the announcement. She let out a snicker, commenting, "My prediction was accurate. Xiao Yu's strength is inferior to Yue Er's, and she certainly lacks the capability to contend with Yue Er. Therefore, she... will undoubtedly be my opponent!"

'I have anticipated this day for an eternity...'

She cast her gaze toward Xiao Yu, who stood beside Zhou Min.

In a similar fashion, Xiao Yu's attention was drawn to her.

"Qian Ye, be cautious."

Li Lian frowned, unable to refrain from offering a warning.

"I understand."

Despite her words, a flicker of arrogance remained in Qian Ye's eyes as she regarded Xiao Yu with a cool indifference.

However, Qian Ye sensed a gaze fixed upon her at that precise moment.

She frowned intensely, sweeping her eyes across the crowd below the stage. Her gaze met Qi Mo's worried expression. A complex, mingled emotion flitted across her heart.

'In the past, when I loved him, he scorned and reviled me. Yet, now he persistently desires to reconcile...

'As expected, he is a truly shameless man!'

Regardless of his current actions, he had inflicted profound hurt upon Qian Ye. The possibility of her continuing to love him was now nonexistent.

"Qian Ye!"

Xiao Yu bit her lip fiercely, her heart brimming with resentment and jealousy.

'Elder Brother Qi Mo's attention should be mine. Who does Qian Ye think she is to claim the gaze that rightfully belongs to me?

'I will make Elder Brother Qi Mo realize today who is the truly compatible partner for him...'

The two women, known for their animosity, strode briskly towards the arena. Instantly, all eyes were fixed upon them, and the surrounding chatter ceased momentarily.

"Qian Ye."

Xiao Yu offered a smile, though it lacked her usual composure. She spoke with evident disdain, "You have the option to concede! Otherwise, I might accidentally end your life!"

"By yourself?" Qian Ye scoffed coldly, tilting her chin upwards as she looked down at Xiao Yu. She continued, "I have waited ages for this day. Therefore, I will absolutely not yield to you..."

Chapter 1229 - God King High Realm Part 12

As they continued their verbal sparring on the arena stage, Xiao Yu sneered, seemingly unconcerned about Qian Ye as a formidable opponent.

'No matter what, she is merely a practitioner at the God-general High realm. How could she possibly defeat me?'

"Qian Ye, you may initiate the first move, so no one can accuse me of bullying a weaker opponent."

Xiao Yu glanced at Qian Ye and stated calmly.

"Since you insist..."

Qian Ye let out a cold laugh, her hands gripping the sword she held with renewed intensity.

Swish!

Her form transformed into a swift gust of wind, launching towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's expression froze abruptly as she stared at Qian Ye in disbelief. However, before she could fully regain her senses, Qian Ye was already upon her...

Xiao Yu hastily drew her sword at that critical moment.

Bang!

She was repelled several steps backward.

"God-king Low realm!"

Xiao Yu's face contorted with displeasure as she shrieked, "You were clearly only at the God-general High realm just moments ago. How did you breakthrough to the God-king Low realm?"

'Damn it! My advantage is gone!'

"Swish!"

Zhou Min immediately rose to her feet, clenching her fists and fixing her gaze intently on the two figures in the arena. A sinister, cold glint flashed within her eyes.

"God-king Low realm... She has ascended to the God-king Low realm. It will be impossible for Xiao Yu to defeat her now unless she resorts to the secret technique. However, the consequence of activating that technique is remaining bedridden for an entire year..."

As Zhou Min contemplated this, she observed Xiao Yu lifting her head. A malicious smirk then graced her face.

"Qian Ye, do you genuinely believe you can match me simply by reaching the God-king Low realm? Haha! That's utterly laughable! You shall perish today!"

Killing intent billowed from Xiao Yu's body as she let out a cold laugh.

Then, she slowly shut her eyes, muttering an incantation. Her aura rapidly intensified, and she abruptly snapped her eyes open.

Qian Ye's brow furrowed. Just as she prepared to retort, she found herself utterly unable to move…

This realization stunned Qian Ye, and she instinctively demanded, "What did you do to me?"

"Hehe!" Xiao Yu let out a low chuckle. "It's merely a technique to immobilize you. Even if you somehow withstand my next strike without any defense, despite being at the God-king Low Realm, you'll be crippled! Now, perish!"

At that moment, Xiao Yu concentrated all her power in front of her, forming a fierce gale that surged towards Qian Ye. Her power was greater than before, causing the very sky to dim its radiance…

"Qian Ye!"

Li Sha's expression shifted drastically.

She could sense the potent killing intent behind Xiao Yu's maneuver. If Qian Ye were to be struck by it, she…

"The empire's princess is about to meet her end."

The assembled crowd shook their heads and sighed as they observed the unfolding scene. From their perspective, Qian Ye's fate was sealed…

Boom!

The instant the gale met Qian Ye, a radiant light erupted from her body, intercepting Xiao Yu's assault. Qian Ye remained completely unharmed…

'C-could that be the jade bracelet?'

Li Sha gasped in astonishment.

'How could I have forgotten? Mu Ru Yue had previously given us a jade bracelet capable of deflecting an attack from a God-king Low realm cultivator. Regardless of how much Xiao Yu's power has grown, she remains in the God-king Low realm…

Therefore, her attack cannot harm Qian Ye.'

"How… how could this be?"

Xiao Yu's face turned deathly pale, and she staggered back several paces.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood erupted from her lips, and her complexion grew even more ghastly.

"Is it my turn now?"
