"Now this kind of test is fun!" Tinh Nhi said, a mischievous grin on her lips. From her petite body, a powerful surge of spiritual energy rapidly circulated, and her cultivation began to erupt.
Complete Qi Condensation! Early-stage Foundation Establishment! Late-stage Foundation Establishment!Complete Foundation Establishment!
Her cultivation stopped at Complete Foundation Establishment. A fourteen-year-old girl with Complete Foundation Establishment cultivation – her monstrous talent was absolutely on par with Luo Yu, the top genius of the Luo Clan, an Eight-Grade cultivation force.
"Indeed, little sister, let's go slaughter it, hehe," Hong Lien opened her fragrant mouth, her moist, crimson tongue licking the corner of her lips. Her cultivation also rapidly ascended.
Early-stage Core Formation… Late-stage Core Formation… Early-stage Nascent Soul.
It finally stopped at Early-stage Nascent Soul.
"As expected," Luo Ren shook his head with a bitter smile. His Yan Ruoxue was also at Early-stage Nascent Soul, but what was her status? She was the Saintess of the Hundred Flowers Sect, a Seven-Grade cultivation force, and she only successfully broke through with Luo Ren's assistance.
Yet this woman, Hong Lien, was only slightly older than Ruoxue, yet possessed such cultivation. Was their background simple? Even a fool would know the answer.
"Hehe, why are you still staring blankly? Let's fight!" The two women looked at Luo Ren, who was staring intently at them, and laughed in unison.
"Okay, let's fight!" Luo Ren was also stimulated by the two women's aura. His Two Cauldron cultivation fully erupted, emitting a surging aura corresponding to the Core Formation stage, causing the two women's beautiful eyes to shine.
"Profound-grade Martial Skill – Wind God Kick!" It was hard to imagine Tinh Nhi's tiny figure suddenly soaring high. On her small feet, countless whirlwinds blessed her, forming a small vortex that fiercely kicked towards the skeleton.
Utterly violent.
This time, the skeleton didn't stand still. It raised its scepter to meet the attack.
SWISH!
The skeleton was pushed back by Tinh Nhi's kick, leaving two long grooves on the stone floor from its feet.
"Profound-grade Martial Skill – Blazing Fire Seal!" Hong Lien, unwilling to be outdone, her delicate hands performed a strange set of incantations. Blazing Fire formed a colossal great seal, appearing directly to smash down on the skeleton's head.
CRACK! CRACK!
This time, it clearly had an effect. The skeleton's skull showed a slight crack.
BOOM!
The Blazing Fire Seal finally missed, falling to the ground, as the skeleton had quickly dodged.
"Hmph, where do you think you're going?" Luo Ren pursued, appearing before it once more. The Earth Bear's two arms behind him once again locked the skeleton's entire body.
"Quickly attack it, ignore the Earth Bear! I can't hold on much longer!" Luo Ren shouted to the two women, his expression tense as he rapidly infused spiritual energy into the Earth Bear, because the skeleton was violently struggling in the Earth Bear's grip, its scepter continuously smashing against the bear's arms.
The two women nodded. The skeleton was tightly embraced by the Earth Bear, so attacking the skeleton was no different from simultaneously attacking the Earth Bear. However, since Luo Ren had asked, they wouldn't overthink it.
"Earth-grade Martial Skill – Blazing Flame Piercing Cloud!" Hong Lien mobilized all the spiritual energy in her body. Countless Fire-attribute spiritual energy obediently served her, forming a gigantic spear of fire.
"Earth-grade Martial Skill – Whirlwind Strike!" Tinh Nhi formed hand seals. Before her, Wind-attribute elements formed countless small whirlwinds. They suddenly merged together to form a large vortex, even partially dispelling the heat from the Purple Heart Burning Void Flame.
"Go!"
The two women shouted in unison. The two martial skills, at lightning speed, attacked the skeleton with full force.
ROAR!
The skeleton roared and struggled, realizing it couldn't escape the Earth Bear's control. The lightning at the tip of its scepter rapidly condensed. It extended its hand and fiercely threw it towards the two incoming attacks.
CRASH!
A heaven-shaking sound resonated. Amidst the fierce collision, Luo Ren's body finally couldn't withstand it. He was sent flying backward by the rebound force, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood. The Earth Bear completely shattered.
The two women were no better. The room's space was limited, and the collision of the terrifying attacks made their faces pale. Blood flowed from their alluring lips. Hong Lien, with her Nascent Soul cultivation, was somewhat better off, but Tinh Nhi, only at Complete Foundation Establishment, was now completely depleted of spiritual energy, sitting slumped on the ground. The heat from the Purple Heart Burning Void Flame made her wish she could strip off all her clothes to cool down.
"Hahaha, good, good, not bad, very not bad!"
A joyful, playful voice suddenly resounded. The three, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly jumped up, their faces greatly changed as they looked towards the source of the sound.
The skeleton had now shattered into pieces, and the Lightning Scepter rolled on the ground.
The skull ring was now glowing, and a faint soul image escaped from within it.
It was the soul of a woman—no, it was a man, to be precise. This man, however, was even more beautiful than most women. He had willow eyebrows, large eyes, a tall, sharp nose, and wore a pink gown that was truly outrageous. If not for the distinct Adam's apple in his throat, no one would have realized he was a man.
Ignoring the strange gazes of Luo Ren and the two women, the enchanting man spoke, sighing with emotion: "After countless years, I've finally waited."
"Senior, may I ask who you are?" Hong Lien was the first to speak, showing no fear.
"Hmm, little girl, your Blazing Fire is very strong. You must be from the Yan Clan, right?" The enchanting man smiled wickedly.
Hong Lien was astonished, not expecting the other party to instantly discern her identity.
"This junior, Yan Hong Lien, greets Senior," Hong Lien clasped her hands respectfully.
"Hmph, just by looking at him, he's not a good thing. Should I call someone to beat you up, you're not clear?" Tinh Nhi regained a bit of strength. She utterly detested this fellow before her.
"Haha, are you referring to the old woman secretly protecting you? Inside my Immortal's Abode, even a Soul Transformation cultivator cannot enter," the enchanting man said calmly, as if everything was within his control.
Without waiting for Tinh Nhi to speak, he continued mysteriously, his eyes meaningfully looking at Luo Ren, who was sitting down:
"Though this little girl doesn't have a Fire Spirit Root, her bloodline is connected to the red-clothed girl. Are you two sisters? How convenient for this little brat."
"What?" It was Luo Ren's turn to be shocked. He hadn't imagined these two were actually sisters.
"Hehe, surprised? My name is Yan Die Tinh, and we are indeed sisters," Tinh Nhi mischievously made a funny face at Luo Ren, clearly delighted by his surprise.
"Wait, what do you mean convenient for him? Don't speak nonsense!" Hong Lien, having regained some strength, glared.
"Haha, my time is running out. Since you are my inheritors, you must support and stick together. I was alone my entire life, and when I died, I was still alone, so I made preparations," he replied with a sinister smile.
"You… what do you want to do?" Luo Ren also began to feel uneasy.
"Haha, enjoy yourselves, my inheritors!" The ethereal figure of the mysterious man laughed. From within the skull ring, a wave of pink qi suddenly appeared, instantly spreading throughout the room.
"Remember, your matchmaker is called the Evil Emperor, HAHAHA!" The arrogant, evil laughter echoed.
The Evil Emperor's soul completely dissipated into the heavens and earth. His wish fulfilled, he departed in peace.
As the pink qi permeated the air, Luo Ren's heart sank, secretly cursing. Below, his "little brother" rapidly and fiercely stood erect.
Luo Ren painstakingly looked over at the two women. He saw that they, too, were looking at him, their wet tongues licking their fragrant lips, their cheeks flushed, and their eyes filled with allure. Finally, two voices that would drive any man in the world mad softly whispered:
"Little Nan, big sister—little sister—we're so hot!"
Above on the ceiling, the Purple Heart Burning Void Flame, which had been hovering, retracted its fiery heat. Instead, it emitted a soft light, like a wedding lamp for one man and two women.
