A Battle Between Female Chosens

A Battle Between Female Chosens . . .

The onlookers marveled at Qing'er's astounding spatial control ability that allowed her to effortlessly navigate the void, seemingly impervious to any attacks. It was clear that this was the manifestation of immortal law energy, a power that sent shivers down their spines.

As they witnessed Qing'er elegantly sidestep Xiao Lengyue's frosty assault, they couldn't help but be in awe of her skills. It was now apparent why she held the prestigious rank of #5 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings – she had already grasped a trace of immortal law energy.

The reason the immortal foundation realm marked such a significant turning point was that it represented a qualitative transformation beyond mere mortality. These young geniuses, despite only comprehending a faint glimmer of law energy, were extraordinarily formidable.

With grace and poise, Qing'er effortlessly glided past the icy perils, positioning herself squarely before Xiao Lengyue. Her lithe fist struck out, converting the destructive force of space into radiant streams of light that threatened to rip apart reality itself.

The spectators could hardly believe their eyes as these lethal beams converged menacingly around Xiao Lengyue, closing in to deliver a potentially fatal blow. The sheer might of Qing'er's single punch sent tremors through the onlookers.

In response, Xiao Lengyue emitted a piercing cry. Her frigid surroundings intensified as she thrust her fingers forward, unleashing an arctic blast capable of eroding Qing'er's very being.

However, Qing'er remained unfazed, her graceful hand moving through the air as a beam of light cleaved through the frozen space, continuing its inexorable path toward Xiao Lengyue.

With lightning reflexes, Xiao Lengyue launched her Frozen Extermination Finger technique, eliciting gasps of awe from the crowd. Her delicate, jade-like fingers moved with astonishing speed, turning everything she pointed at into a frozen death sentence.

But Qing'er was equally swift. Her delicate hands, as if coated in silk, moved in perfect synchronization with a brilliant flash of golden light. As her palms converged, a circular golden diagram materialized before her. A cascade of astral light rained down upon it, causing the diagram to expand to a size accommodating two humans. When the Frozen Extermination Finger collided with the diagram, the icy onslaught failed to completely freeze it. Instead, the golden radiance sliced through the frost energy, rendering it powerless.

The golden diagram emanated a relentless surge of light, charged with unyielding intent. The hearts of the spectators trembled as they witnessed Xiao Lengyue's precarious situation.

These two exceptional women, both blessed with remarkable talents, had embarked on a perilous path. Engaging in such close combat increased the stakes dramatically. Any lapse in concentration could result in severe injury or even death.

"The Immortal Slaying Diagram! That must be the supreme technique of Matriarch Ji," exclaimed some of the astute individuals in the audience.

"Princess Qing'er, daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, possesses an innate immortal king physique and extraordinary potential. When the Evergreen Immortal Emperor fought for his empire, he sent her away for her safety. Upon her return, rumors abound that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor doted on her, personally grooming her as his successor. But there's more to the story. It's said that he entrusted her to Matriarch Ji, who, out of genuine fondness, accepted Qing'er as her disciple. Matriarch Ji wouldn't have shared such a supreme technique if she hadn't truly cared for Qing'er," enlightened one of the observers.

Among the mesmerized crowd, a perceptive genius couldn't resist sharing some insight. These attendees, descendants of immortal kings and emperors, possessed extensive networks and knowledge of the prominent forces in the immortal realms.

"Certainly, Matriarch Ji is known for her unique ways and eccentric personality. She doesn't yield, regardless of the other party's stature. Accepting Qing'er as her disciple, solely because of her lineage as the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's daughter, indicates a deep personal favor," the genius murmured. Matriarch Ji was a formidable presence in the immortal realms, and it was clear that Qing'er enjoyed the support of two influential immortal emperors.

The Immortal Slaying Diagram emitted a ceaseless spatial radiance, an ominous beacon foretelling impending doom for Xiao Lengyue.

"Xiao Lengyue's offensive has been completely quashed," the spectators mused in silent agreement. Spatial assaults were overwhelmingly formidable, explaining Qing'er's higher ranking compared to Xiao Lengyue.

Frozen Extermination Finger's energy continued to freeze everything in its vicinity, yet the Immortal Slaying Diagram effortlessly annihilated the icy onslaught. In a fit of rage, Xiao Lengyue encased herself in frost, transforming into an icy statue. An intense glacial aura emanated from her, sending chills that even reached the distant observers.

"Immortal Slaying Diagram?" Xiao Lengyue inquired as astral light enveloped her, intensifying the frigid energy and turning the surroundings into an ice-cloaked realm. She thrust her palms forth, directly targeting the Immortal Slaying Diagram. The overwhelming frost managed to breach the diagram's defenses, causing an icy chill to seep into Qing'er's form.

However, Qing'er's expression remained serene and composed. The Immortal Slaying Diagram grew even more radiant, determined to claim its victim. Its destructive luminescence shimmered, and as Qing'er unleashed her palm, any obstacles in its path disintegrated into oblivion.

A tempestuous surge rippled through the air, and Xiao Lengyue, now pale, retreated hastily. She mounted her counterattack simultaneously, but Qing'er simply waved her hands, sending beams of light to dismantle Xiao Lengyue's assault.

"Puchi…" A fresh spray of blood adorned the air as Xiao Lengyue sustained a wound on her palm. She extended her hands, conjuring a relentless tide of frost and ice to intercept the oncoming beams of light. Nonetheless, she was injured in the face of Qing'er's formidable prowess. Her beauty remained undiminished, but her once-immaculate visage now bore the marks of her suffering.

"In the end, Xiao Lengyue couldn't secure the victory. Princess Qing'er, while still concealed beneath her veil, undoubtedly possesses tremendous strength. Guided by two influential immortal emperors, her higher rank above Xiao Lengyue is well-deserved," remarked the spectators, captivated by the graceful aerial dance between the two extraordinary women. Witnessing a battle between two heaven-endowed talents was a rare and exhilarating spectacle.

At that moment, it remained a mystery just how formidable the #3-ranked Nanfeng Yunxi truly was.

A surge of spatial energy enshrouded Qing'er. Her delicate figure disappeared in a flash, only to reappear abruptly beside Xiao Lengyue. With a swift punch, she effortlessly penetrated the void, delivering a strike right before Xiao Lengyue's eyes.

"The battle's outcome has been decided, yet she persists," the spectators observed, their expressions frozen in awe. Waves of icy energy radiated from Qing'er, and her gaze bore no hint of mercy as she continued to confront Xiao Lengyue with relentless determination.

Since their rankings were determined on the Immortal Ascension list, Xiao Lengyue had been tirelessly seeking out Qing'er. Her aim was clear: to defeat Qing'er and showcase her own abilities. Perhaps, Princess Qing'er had never acknowledged her existence until now. There was a chance that Qing'er's current actions were fueled by Xiao Lengyue's earlier assault on Qin Wentian. While she hadn't uttered a word, her anger had been unmistakable from her expressions.

Qing'er's onslaught was relentless, and it sent shockwaves through Xiao Lengyue. It was as if each blow carried the searing heat of Qing'er's anger. Xiao Lengyue began to realize that Qing'er desired more than just her defeat. With explosive speed, she retreated while pushing her powers of ice and frost to the limits. Her Frozen Extermination Finger struck again, but this time it shattered upon impact. The residual spatial fluctuations pierced her defenses.

But this was just the beginning. Qing'er vanished once more, reappearing in a different direction, almost as if she possessed teleportation abilities, attacking from various angles. Xiao Lengyue's expression twisted with frustration as she struggled to defend herself. In a short span, golden light repeatedly burst forth, with Qing'er's figure appearing everywhere.

"What an aggressive approach! That style is unmistakably from Matriarch Ji, known for her mastery of spatial energy. Many immortal emperors hold her in high regard due to her immense strength."

"Xiao Lengyue's aura is diminishing rapidly. She's clearly at a disadvantage now."

As expected, the relentless barrage left Xiao Lengyue bewildered. When another punch came her way, she retaliated with a finger strike. However, this time, Qing'er didn't disappear but charged directly at her. The formidable fist light had yet to dissipate, tearing through everything to collide with Xiao Lengyue.

"You…" Xiao Lengyue sputtered with rage. Her body released a devastating energy that seemed to freeze the surroundings. Qing'er's delicate form was encased in frost, but she struck once more, amassing boundless fist lights that shattered the layers of ice one by one.

"BANG!"

Xiao Lengyue received another powerful blow to her body, and Qing'er's attacks seemed unstoppable. The spectators were shocked, believing Xiao Lengyue might meet her end. However, in the nick of time, a dazzling silhouette materialized before Qing'er. Instantly, she was frozen solid. The Xiao Emperor's immortal sense had come to life as he stood behind Xiao Lengyue.

"IMPUDENT. Who are you? Did you truly intend to take my daughter's life?" the Xiao Emperor's voice was icy. Qing'er met his gaze with her own frigid stare and replied, "I am the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and the disciple of Matriarch Ji. Step aside."

"You…" The Xiao Emperor was taken aback by her response.

"So, you're Brother Evergreen's beloved daughter. However, you're showing a lack of respect when addressing your elders. Both you and Lengyue are here to temper yourselves in the City of Ancient Emperors; there's no need for such ruthlessness, to resort to fatal blows," the Xiao Emperor's voice carried an air of authority. The other spectators were left speechless; they hadn't anticipated that today's battle would trigger the immortal senses of two immortal emperors.

In the midst of this intense showdown, not even the formidable Xiao Emperor dared to assert his authority too forcefully against Qing'er. It was evident that Qing'er possessed her own protective strand of immortal sense, and ultimately, the unresolved conflict between her and Xiao Lengyue would have to find its resolution within their own boundaries.

"Perhaps you should inquire about your daughter's actions," Qing'er's voice remained as icy as ever. The Xiao Emperor turned his gaze toward Xiao Lengyue, only to find his daughter wearing a deeply unpleasant expression. Xiao Lengyue had suffered a complete and utter defeat, to the extent that even her strand of immortal sense had been forcibly expelled. This battle had left her in a state of profound humiliation.

"That's enough. Regardless of what Lengyue might have done, I will make amends on her behalf. Both of you are supreme talents of the immortal realms, and it's sufficient to cease hostilities once one reaches their limit. There's no need to let this incident escalate into a feud between you and your elders," the Xiao Emperor advised. "Moreover, I won't be able to remain in the City of Ancient Emperors for much longer. I'll take her away from this place first. If you still wish to settle your differences, the two of you can always engage in another battle in the future."

With these words, the Xiao Emperor enveloped Xiao Lengyue in his immortal sense, and in a dazzling flash, they both vanished from sight. It was apparent that the Xiao Emperor, despite his appearance, didn't consider it wise to provoke Qing'er. Her status was such that even immortal emperors would think twice before challenging her. And should a genuine vendetta arise, given Qing'er's superior strength, encountering her again in the City of Ancient Emperors would undoubtedly lead to further suffering for Xiao Lengyue.
