Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1218 - 45: Counterattack, Total Victory Over the Pureblood Heavenly Fox (Part 2)
Previously on Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor...
Liu Xueyu surged forward, her form like a honed arrow striking the arena's edge.
Her visage, once bright, now held a glacial severity as her gaze swept over Yun Sheng, a lethal intent burning within her eyes.
This Sky Fox Half-Beast, she truly grasped not the precipice she stood upon.
Confronted by Liu Xueyu’s deadly stare, the veiled Yun Sheng remained unperturbed.
Positioned between the two combatants, the innkeeper, tasked with refereeing, found himself in an uncomfortable spot, an unbidden chill creeping over his skin.
He could feel the sharp, piercing gazes exchanged between the women.
"The third bout commences!"
With the declaration, Liu Xueyu advanced, a wave of killing intent surging forth like an unstoppable cataclysm.
Riiip—
A tearing sound emanated from her right arm.
Upon her skin, as white as fine alabaster, a stunning alteration took hold.
Liu Xueyu’s hand enlarged exponentially, morphing into a fur-covered fox claw, its tips honed to razor sharpness.
Where the fox claw slashed, the very air around it seemed to distort, rippling with potent surges of battle spirit, akin to pebbles dropped into still water.
The fox claw, resembling an unyielding spear, hurtled toward Yun Sheng with breathtaking velocity and an unpredictable trajectory.
Yun Sheng immediately perceived the shift in Liu Xueyu; her suddenly altered arm evoked a sense of familiarity.
This bore a striking resemblance to the Qilin Arm wielded by the Black Qilin Tribe, an artifact Yun Sheng had previously witnessed.
Recognizing the potent nature of the fox claw, a pair of Wind Wings materialized instantly behind Yun Sheng. With swift precision, she executed a series of Night Charm Steps, eluding the lunges of Liu Xueyu’s fox claw.
"That is... the Yama Fox Claw, Liu Xueyu’s Sky Fox Inheritance!" Below the arena, Hua Yanluo and Qin Yue’s faces drained of color, shifting from flushed to a deathly pale.
They had not anticipated Liu Xueyu would deploy the Sky Fox Inheritance against the seemingly fragile Yun Sheng so readily at the outset.
The Sky Fox Inheritance was stratified into various tiers, and Hua Yanluo’s own inheritance was considered relatively commonplace.
However, Liu Xueyu’s manifestation of the fox claw was distinct.
The Yama Fox Claw possessed the capability to amplify one's offensive power tenfold instantly; legend claimed its sharpness was such that it could shatter a Holy-grade Defensive Magic Artifact with a solitary blow.
Although Yun Sheng’s Night Charm Step Technique was intricate, the Yama Fox Claw’s assault was equally relentless.
"Clang," Yun Sheng deflected a strike from the Yama Fox Claw with her Magic Wand.
Sparks flew where the wand met the claw, and the seemingly unbreakable fox claw etched a small groove into the Mysterious Bone Magic Wand.
One exchange concluded; two remained.
Yun Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly.
She had previously declared her intent to vanquish Liu Xueyu within three moves; failure to do so meant her defeat.
With only two chances left, how could she possibly parry Liu Xueyu’s onslaught while simultaneously securing a victory?
In a fleeting moment of hesitation, Liu Xueyu struck again with her transformed claw.
"Dark Sky Thorn!" Yun Sheng seized the opening, and the soul stone embedded in her Magic Wand pulsed with light.
Abruptly, a bolt of lightning, resembling the gnarled branches of dark ensnaring vines, pierced the heavens above.
With a deafening roar, it descended directly upon Liu Xueyu.
"Super Magic, Dark Sky Thorn!"
The incantation resonated in the minds of all present.
As a fellow mage, Qin Yue’s consciousness momentarily went blank.
The seemingly timid half-beast could unleash such devastating Super Magic with such immediacy.
A colossal surge of Dark Magic Power cascaded towards Liu Xueyu.
Her countenance betrayed no apprehension as arcane runes on her fox claw ignited with an inner luminescence, a crimson light suffusing the appendage, and the claw tore through the very fabric of the air.
The formidable battle spirit rendered the Dark Sky Thorn into fragments, severing the dark tendrils.
"What!" Yun Sheng was utterly stunned, disbelief coloring her features that her Dark Sky Thorn had failed to overcome Liu Xueyu.
Could this be the true power of the Sky Fox Inheritance?
"One move remains, wretched half-beast, prepare to meet Yama!" Liu Xueyu taunted, her once attractive face now contorted with a feral madness.
Not good! The innkeeper, officiating the match, sensed the palpable, lethal intent radiating from Liu Xueyu.
The duel was sanctioned to conclude at the precipice of defeat, yet Liu Xueyu's intentions had unequivocally turned murderous!
One move left!
Even the might of the Super Magic Dark Sky Thorn couldn't fell her; what else could possibly suffice...
"Demon God Transformation!" A sudden realization flashed through Yun Sheng’s mind.
Without a second’s pause, Yun Sheng brought her Magic Wand before her. Liu Xueyu was already upon her, the blood-lusting Yama Fox Claw, accompanied by its razor-sharp winds, slashed directly towards Yun Sheng’s throat.
At such an infinitesimal distance, even if one harbored the desire to intervene, it would already be too late.
Suddenly, an intense black luminescence erupted from Yun Sheng’s Magic Wand.
Directly overhead, a brilliant radiance bloomed, and the entirety of the sky abruptly plunged into darkness.
It was as if an immense, dark cloud had eclipsed the sun.
The assembled spectators, their attention riveted to the unfolding drama on the arena, found their gazes involuntarily drawn upward.
In the sky, a mass of grey loomed. No, it wasn’t merely a cloud, but a Magic Soul.
This formidable Dark Magic Soul unleashed its Dark Magic Power, radiating like a brilliant beacon.
"Demon God Transformation, Shura’s Thorn!"
Countless thorny vines, descending like a torrential downpour, erupted from the clouds. They converged, coalescing into a Shura’s Thorn, a manifestation many times more terrifying than the Super Dark Sky Thorn.
The Shura’s Thorn sliced through the air, hurtling towards Liu Xueyu.
The entire event unfolded with astonishing speed.
It wasn't until the Dark Power howled around her that Liu Xueyu’s eyes widened in sheer terror.
She had never fathomed that she would be defeated by a low-class half-beast, particularly not in such a devastating and ignominious fashion!
In a single instant, the arena was obliterated by the fearsome Dark Power, sending debris scattering in all directions.
The resulting shockwave knocked everyone off their feet, leaving them sprawled across the ground.
When consciousness finally returned and eyes fluttered open, the inn’s courtyard lay in ruins.
The innkeeper’s face was a mask of shock, his expression etched with a sorrow deeper than any tear.
The trees within the courtyard, and even the adjacent structures, had sustained severe damage.
The area where the arena once stood had transformed into a colossal pit, plunging nearly a hundred feet deep.
Suspended in the air above this gaping chasm, a lone figure hovered.
Her veil fluttered gently, revealing a gracefully sculpted jawline. Though her clothing was somewhat torn and dust smudged her face, these details could not diminish one irrefutable truth.
The Cangdu Candidate Holy Daughter had emerged victorious.
The low-class Sky Fox Candidate Holy Daughter from Cangdu had triumphed over Fengdu’s Liu Xueyu.
At the bottom of the immense pit, Liu Xueyu lay amidst the wreckage, charred black and resembling nothing more than discarded refuse, her garments in tatters, her appearance utterly unrecognizable.
"I stated it would take only three moves," Yun Sheng declared, her voice cutting through the silence.
In that precise moment, to the astonished onlookers, this previously unheralded Cangdu Candidate Holy Daughter appeared as a divine being.
Her dark eyes gleamed, sparkling like the most brilliant stars illuminating the pre-dawn sky.
