Seeing their captain lying on the ground, the members of the Adventure Team immediately rushed forward to protect him, guarding against any sudden attacks from the opponent.
“Daddy, are you okay?” Xiao Hong'er cried, her eyes red like two gemstones.
“Hong'er, don’t worry. I’m not that fragile; I just need to rest a bit,” Xiao Ya said, his face pale and breath weak, yet he still reached out with his rough hands to gently stroke Xiao Hong'er's head.
“Damn it! Tan Qianqiu, get out here! I want you dead today!” Shangguan Jin glared at Tan Qianqiu with a fierce expression, her eyes filled with a desire to devour him alive.
Tan Qianqiu frowned slightly, just as he was about to step forward, Aotian arrived in front of Shangguan Jin first and coldly said, “You don’t need Senior Tan to deal with you; let me handle you!”
“You?!”
Shangguan Jin’s eyes revealed an unmistakable disdain.
At that moment, Rogue wore a face full of excitement. He knew Aotian's cultivation level well; facing an Innate Fivefold attack with only Innate One was undoubtedly courting death. After all, the gap between each level in the Innate Realm was significant.
And as long as Aotian failed, regardless of the outcome of the third match in Amusement, Rogue would at least have a share of the Earth Spirit Realm's ruins.
Thinking this way, Rogue's eyes were filled with fervor.
“Captain Xiao, do you really want this kid to compete with me?” Shangguan Jin asked with a tone full of contempt.
“Yes, I’m leaving this second match to Aotian!” Xiao Ya replied softly.
Upon hearing Xiao Ya's words, the warriors in the Arena all sighed regretfully. Clearly, no one believed Aotian could defeat Shangguan Jin, given the obvious disparity in their realms.
"Kid, it seems Captain Xiao thinks highly of you, but he's bound to be disappointed this time!" Shangguan Jin raised her head proudly, resembling an arrogant swan, as she spoke to Aotian.
"Everything will be known only after it's compared, right?" Aotian replied calmly.
"Alright! Today I want to see what you can do, kid!"
As soon as Shangguan Jin finished speaking, she shot towards Aotian like an arrow released from a bow. A surge of powerful Mystical Energy erupted, gathering in her delicate palms. She swung her hands forward, and countless palm shadows enveloped Aotian's vital points.
In an instant, Aotian felt a heavy pressure rushing towards him, even causing a momentary blockage in the operation of his Transformation Technique.
Looking at the dense palm shadows, a serious expression appeared on Aotian's face.
Then, he stepped forward into the sea of palm shadows. An enigmatic step formed beneath his feet, and as he moved, the sound of a Dragon's Roar faintly echoed.
Dragon's Dance!
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Aotian entered the multitude of palm shadows.
Instantly, countless sighs filled the Arena. Clearly, to them, Aotian's actions seemed extremely foolish. Facing an attack from an Innate Fivefold martial artist, he chose not to dodge but instead charged right in—wasn't that courting death?
The members of the Wolf Fang Adventure Team were also filled with anxiety and concern.
Just when everyone thought this match was about to come to an end, someone shouted in surprise:
"Look at the stage!"
They saw that after Aotian plunged into the sea of palm shadows, he seemed to transform into a slippery loach. Whenever a palm shadow was about to strike him, he always managed to narrowly evade it.
From a distance, Aotian appeared quite flustered, constantly dodging the shadowy palm attacks. However, with each turn and step he took, there seemed to be an enigmatic principle at play. Upon closer inspection, Aotian was actually closing in rapidly on Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Jin's expression changed slightly, a flash of murderous intent crossing her eyes as she scoffed:
"Since you want to seek death, I'll grant your wish!"
With a point of her toe against the void, Shangguan Jin retreated swiftly. Yet, as she moved back, her palms danced continuously, as if gathering something.
“Blood Spirit Seal!”
A delicate shout echoed throughout the Arena, and before Shangguan Jin, a blood-red Heavenly Seal about the size of a palm materialized. The Heavenly Seal was adorned with arc-like lines that resembled fresh blood, and a faint aura of Bloodthirst permeated the Arena.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, Aotian broke free from the encircling shadowy palms and immediately spotted the blood-red Heavenly Seal. His face changed drastically. Although the blood-red Heavenly Seal was small, Aotian sensed an overwhelming sense of danger emanating from it.
This danger was lethal!
"Kid, you can only blame yourself for meddling. Now, die!"
As soon as Shangguan Jin finished speaking, the blood-red Heavenly Seal shot toward Aotian like a falling comet.
Before the Blood Seal even got close, Aotian could already smell the thick, nauseating Bloodthirst.
This martial art must be approaching an intermediate level...
With a grave expression in his eyes, Aotian slowly exhaled a puff of white breath, his face subtly forming a curve.
"It has been a long time since I last used that martial art..."
In an instant, Aotian's gaze turned as sharp as a blade. A surge of Golden Energy erupted from Aotian's body, seemingly ready to shatter the white clouds in the sky.
Immediately, Aotian's hands began to form intricate hand seals. With each seal completed, Aotian's complexion grew paler, while Shangguan Jin felt the aura emanating from Aotian becoming increasingly dangerous.
"Annihilation Finger!"
A loud shout echoed in Aotian's mind.
Then, those hand seals quickly converged, and a massive Light Finger, measuring ten feet in size, appeared out of thin air. The Light Finger was incomplete, only possessing its front half, giving the impression that Aotian's martial art was not fully developed.
However, the veins on the Light Finger seemed to be born from the heavens and earth, filled with an aura of destruction.
Even though it was incomplete, it was enough to intimidate everyone present!
This Annihilation Finger was not part of the Aojia martial arts; it was taught to Aotian by his mother. According to Pride's Mother, this Annihilation Finger was one of their family's treasured and secret martial arts. Because of this, Aotian had not received the complete Annihilation Finger technique, but even just a portion of it was sufficient to surpass ordinary intermediate martial arts.
Previously, Aotian had not broken through to the innate level and could not perform this martial art. Now that he had indeed broken through to the first level of innate ability, he was able to unleash the Annihilation Finger.
"What?! How could this kid possibly wield such a terrifying martial art?!"
At this moment, Shangguan Jin was filled with shock. The combat power displayed by Aotian clearly exceeded her expectations.
Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone present, the Light Finger collided violently with the Blood Seal in the center of the Arena!
"Boom!"
The deafening sound of two martial arts colliding echoed in everyone's ears.
A terrifying wave of energy suddenly spread from the point of impact, causing large cracks to appear on the solid ground of the Arena, creating a shocking scene.
"Damn it!"
Shangguan Jin cursed inwardly as she realized that her palm-sized Blood Seal was faintly being crushed by the Light Finger.
"Kid, you dare to fight me? I'll make sure you can't escape!"
With a furious shout, a mouthful of bright red blood erupted from her plump lips and quickly merged into the Blood Seal.
Instantly, the Blood Seal surged with blood light, and the Light Finger seemed to be suppressed by the Blood Seal.
Clearly, with Shangguan Jin's blood added, the power of the Blood Seal had skyrocketed. Its attack was now likely on par with some intermediate martial arts.
The members of the Wolf Fang Adventure Team all changed their expressions drastically.
"When did that woman acquire such terrifying martial arts?" Xiao Ya frowned and asked in a low voice.
The others in the Wolf Fang Adventure Team exchanged glances, clearly realizing that Shangguan Jin's martial arts were beyond their control.
"Sigh, now we can only hope Aotian can hold on!" Seeing their confused expressions, Xiao Ya waved her hand and sighed.
However, the other members of the Wolf Fang Adventure Team were not optimistic about Xiao Ya's words. After all, Shangguan Jin's attack was truly unexpected.
"Hehe, this match is ours for sure!" Rogue sneered.
In the Arena, Shangguan Jin sneered and said,
"Kid, admit defeat, unless you want to accidentally get hurt later!"
Aotian slowly exhaled a puff of white breath and replied lightly,
"Do you really think this is my final move?"
Shangguan Jin's pupils contracted slightly as she fixed her gaze on Aotian. Clearly, Aotian's previous offensive had caused this woman to retract all her contempt for him.
"Transformation Technique, reveal your true power..." Aotian murmured softly in his heart.
In an instant, Shangguan Jin's expression changed drastically as she realized that the energy within the Blood Seal was rapidly diminishing, while the power of the Light Finger was becoming increasingly formidable...
