Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 642 The Person I Hate Most in This Life
The period of seclusion and intensive study was not the entirety of Xun'er's life after returning to her clan.

Ever since she recognized the corruption within the ancient tribe, she has been constantly thinking about one thing—

strength.

Cultivation level and strength are not the same thing. For example, Xiao Yan once fought against a high-level Dou Wang with his Dou Ling body. Another example is Hun Ruoruo, who dared to draw her sword to meet the half-saint Tong Xuan.

This is not something that cultivation can bring, but rather a kind of momentum, a kind of spirit, a kind of fearless and domineering ambition.

Such determination cannot be achieved without prolonged warfare, nor can it be obtained from humble beginnings.

If she had always held onto the title of the strongest of the eight clans and never bothered to look down upon the mortal world, she would never have realized the preciousness of this ambition.

"I have always been curious about why... why I admired Brother Xiao Yan so much when he was in Wutan City, to the point that I was willing to defy the clan's orders."

Xun'er held a long spear, her eyes shimmering with countless golden glints:

"Until I saw the same quality in you as he did."

Hun Ruoruo remained expressionless, standing quietly in place, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Xun'er's words.

Seeing this, Xun'er smiled faintly, and without waiting for a response, continued speaking to herself:

"I think that's why I can't hate you. Even if you are his daughter, even if we are enemies, you are still you. Your identity cannot change your essence."

"You can't hate him, which means you don't really like him?"

Hun Ruoruo smiled and teased.

"Yes, there is probably no one in the world I hate more than you."

Xun'er smiled calmly and nodded slightly.

She casually tossed her long hair, letting it cascade freely like a waterfall, her eyes brimming with battle intent that had been building up to its peak.
"After all, it's really unpleasant to be outdone by someone."

Compared to her former reserved and quiet image, Xun'er at this moment has completely unleashed the pride that has been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

That extremely sharp fighting spirit, and that confidence that made it hard for people to open their eyes, even made Hun Ruoruo's eyes show a bit of surprise.

She knew that this was not something that could be brought about by talent, but rather the will honed through long battles, the invincible spirit that gave her such confidence!
"You are definitely more pleasing to the eye now than you were back then."

Hun Ruoruo nodded in praise.

Immediately, he raised his hand and grasped, and waves surged forth like a tide, instantly conjuring a magnificent blue halberd, as beautiful as if carved from a gemstone, in his hand.

She weighed it gently in her hand for a moment, then turned and chuckled softly:

"Please, Sister Xun'er."

Without seeing Hun Ruoruo make any move, she simply turned the sparring into guidance with a few words, without even using her fighting spirit, clearly indicating that she was letting Xun'er make the first move.

As expected, upon seeing Hun Ruoruo's actions, Xun'er's expression visibly darkened for a moment, even moving the elders watching nearby.

mad!
Despite being a woman herself, this seemingly gentle and delicate Soul Clan lady is even more arrogant than her own mistress!

However, after only a moment, Xun'er regained her composure and said calmly:

"Since you are so confident, I will gladly accept your offer."

Before she could finish speaking, Xun'er's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

So fast!

If Xiao Yan's Three Thousand Thunderbolts is like a thunderbolt bursting forth with rapid speed, destroying enemies with overwhelming force, then Xun'er's movement techniques are more like a golden roc soaring through the sky, instantly descending to the netherworld or the heavens, and instantly wandering in the void.

Without a doubt, the origin of this movement technique is definitely from the supreme treasure of the ancient clan!

Hun Ruoruo's expression shifted slightly, but she wasn't too surprised. With a wave of her hand, the Sea Flame Halberd seemed to have a premonition and fled to a corner of the void, colliding instantly with Xun'er, who was attacking from a tricky angle.

"Qiang!"

When the Sea Flame Halberd clashed with the Golden Emperor Spear, a metallic roar that made one's teeth ache and soul tremble erupt. Even some of the elders below, who possessed the strength of a Dou Zun, couldn't help but change color in horror.

"Strange fire?"

Xun'er's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly recognized the origin of the blue flames:

"It turns out to be the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking. As the strongest of the strange flames related to water, it is just right for you, sister."

As she spoke, the long tassel in her palm burst forth with divine light, its intense, dazzling golden radiance as brilliant as the setting sun:
"However, I do have some experience when it comes to playing with fire."

In an instant, the temperature in the space suddenly rose! The space, which was already riddled with holes under the tip of the 'Golden Emperor Spear', now twisted violently like a rope, as if it was about to turn the entire area into a golden inferno.

"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame! Miss actually used the power of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame from the very beginning?!"

Even Elder Lin and his companion couldn't sit still any longer. They stood up abruptly and stared at the sky in disbelief.

The Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame ranks fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking!

As one of the most treasured artifacts of the ancient clans, the power of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame is enough to easily incinerate the heavens and pierce through illusions. Even battle qi will turn into nourishment upon contact with it, fueling its combustion.

"Although Miss can only use a trace of the original power of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, is absolutely no match for that Soul Clan woman. She is likely to suffer a terrible defeat."

Although the ancient souls are mortal enemies, based on what they said earlier, Elder Lin knew that the young lady's relationship with that soul woman must be extremely unusual.

I don't care how they hit me, but if anything happens to me, it'll be this old man who suffers.
Gazing at the golden light in the sky that could dim everything else, Elder Lin's palms were sweating profusely, ready to intervene at any moment.

"A torrential downpour of pear blossoms!"

Xun'er casually gathered up the fluffy spears, let out a cold shout, and the long spears burst forth like a rainstorm.

With her speed honed to the extreme, combined with the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame at the tip of her spear, which could incinerate everything, her spear techniques were no longer limited to mere combat skills. Even a simple thrust contained unimaginable power!
As Xun'er simply retracted her spear and thrust forward, the 'Golden Emperor Spear' transformed into countless realistic phantoms, like a torrential downpour, slamming heavily onto the 'Sea Flame Halberd'.

"boom!!!"

How powerful is the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame?
For a Dou Zun of the same level, it could be described as something that would injure them if they were grazed, and kill them if they were touched. The Sea Flame Halberd had almost no ability to resist and only lasted for half a breath before it exploded into countless points of light under the bombardment.

The damage to the Sea Flame Halberd also affected Hun Ruoruo's soul; the mark engraved on it was instantly burned away by the golden fire, turning into nothingness.

Hun Ruoruo, whose soul was injured, frowned almost imperceptibly, and then disappeared into the thick fog behind her, seemingly having exhausted herself.

"it's useless."

Xun'er's eyes were cold as she thrust her spear straight out, taking advantage of the opponent's injured soul power to pierce through the void in an instant.

The spear shot out like a rainbow, and wherever it touched, even the traces of energy were completely burned away, leaving only a deep, dark trail flowing through it, as if it were truly nothingness.

With this one strike, the outcome was already decided.

"Miss!"

Both Bai Tianzun and the other man were terrified and couldn't help but cry out in grief.

"ended."

Elder Lin, standing to the side, sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Even their weapons were easily destroyed, demonstrating that their strength was no longer comparable.

"Unexpectedly, the first person I rescued while accompanying young lady on her training expedition was a daughter of the Soul Clan."

Elder Lin gave a wry smile, but without much hesitation, he stepped forward to save Hun Ruoruo.

However, just as he leaped into the air, a barely perceptible chuckle quietly emerged from the thick smoke.

"chi"

"Ok?"

Elder Lin raised his head in surprise and doubt, but in the next moment, he froze on the spot as if petrified.

"you you!"

His face was filled with horror, and his throat was like a leaky bellows as he gasped violently, as if he had seen a ghost.

The next moment, the thick fog dissipated.

Above, hundreds of sea flame halberds were slowly condensing around the girl.

Each one contained a terrifying power, and each one was no weaker than the one Xun'er had destroyed earlier.

They fill the void, yet they are like a whole, like a rotating wheel, vast and boundless.

"Warm-up is over."

At the pinnacle of the heavens, Hun Ruoruo looked down upon the world below, a faint smile on her face.
"It's about time we got serious, isn't it?"

The destruction of the Sea Flame Spear would indeed wound her soul.

Judging from the strength of the previous Sea Flame Halberd, destroying the soul imprint on it would even cause a loss of one ten-thousandth of the soul power!
Given such a massive expenditure, and considering Hun Ruoruo's cautious nature, she naturally had to be careful.
