Chapter 391: Defeating Zhuo Mengzhen
Since that's the case, it would be better to raise the price a bit from the beginning, leaving room for negotiation.
"Since Friend Qingyang agrees to this bet, let's begin."
Zhuo Mengzhen took out a blue ice crystal dagger about one foot in size from her storage bag and said coldly.
She was eager to see the panicked expression of this arrogant individual before her, to let him know that the gap in cultivation was not something that could be easily crossed.
"That is indeed the case."
Liu Yu replied lightly, not angered by the other party's attitude.
As he spoke, he waved his hand to fold the map and put it into his storage bag, then turned to signal Jiang Qiushui, Cold Moon Heart, and the others to retreat.
"The other party is a well-known female cultivator of the Heavenly Harmony Sect, second only to the Six Harmonious Sons. Can Senior Brother really defeat her?"
"Although Senior Brother is powerful, the opponent is not easy to deal with!"
These thoughts flashed through Jiang Qiushui and Cold Moon Heart's minds as they quickly retreated.
After the command was communicated, the qi refinement stage cultivators also moved far away, clearing a large space for the duel of magic between the two.
In a short while, there were no other cultivators within a hundred zhang of the two.
Liu Yu, dressed in a black robe with black hair, stood several dozen zhang away from Zhuo Mengzhen.
Even though he held a Supreme Spiritual Artifact in hand, in front of a large audience, some methods could not be revealed.
He could not fully unleash his power.
Moreover, the opponent was not an unknown figure, so she could not be easily dealt with.
Liu Yu extended his spiritual consciousness, his gaze fixed on Zhuo Mengzhen, not underestimating the heroes of the world just because he had received a significant boost in power after obtaining the Crimson Flame Tower.
At this moment, both sides began to release their spiritual pressure without reservation, raising a cloud of dust around them.
These two powerful spiritual pressures burst forth without any protective measures. Even the qi refinement stage cultivators who had already retreated a hundred zhang away felt a wave of oppression.
Only the cultivators of the Heavenly Harmony Sect, isolated by formations, did not feel this pressure.
On the surface, due to the difference in realm, Liu Yu's spiritual pressure was obviously weaker.
But in reality, it was the result of him holding back.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qiushui and Cold Moon Heart exchanged knowing glances and nodded slightly to each other.
They had made up their minds that if anything unfavorable happened to Senior Brother, they would immediately step in to stop it.
After all, they were facing cultivators of the Heavenly Harmony Sect, and the two sects already had a grudge, so there was no need to hold back at this moment.
"Friend Qingyang, make your move."
Zhuo Mengzhen's face was as cold as frost as she said.
According to the usual practice in duels, the one with lower cultivation should strike first.
She felt quite confident and did not intend to break the rules.
Only by making the opponent willingly concede could the matter of the Liujin Stone vein be settled without further complications.
Otherwise, even if she won, the other party could still be a nuisance.
"Oh?"
"Daoist Zhuo, then I shall not be courteous."
Hearing the other party's words of modesty, Liu Yu revealed a hint of a smile as he replied.
He could roughly guess the other party's thoughts.
This woman still didn't know that he had obtained the Supreme Spiritual Artifact, the Crimson Flame Tower, which was why she seemed so confident.
He wondered if she would still be able to laugh once he brought out the Supreme Spiritual Artifact.
With spiritual pressure reaching its peak, as the words fell, Liu Yu made his move without hesitation.
Magical power surged within his dantian, flowing rapidly through his meridians, willingly pouring into the spiritual artifact in his hand.
