Chapter One Hundred and Seven: The Battle Begins

Soon, the day of the great battle arrived.

In the early morning, Yun Chuxue stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, unaware that Yu Zixi had already arrived by her side.

"Mom..."

Yun Chuxue turned her head, smiling at her, "What's wrong?"

Yu Zixi didn't speak, but her eyes showed her deep concern for Yun Chuxue, a concern that Yun Chuxue naturally understood.

She took out a comb, walked behind Yu Zixi, and stroked her silky hair, saying,

"Xixi, you've grown up, and your hair has grown long. Mom really wants to see the day when Xixi wears her wedding dress."

Yu Zixi turned around, tears slowly streaming down her cheeks as mother and daughter embraced tightly.

An hour later, Yun Chuxue arrived at Yu Shi's room. Not finding him inside, she was about to leave when she saw a book open on the table, with a pen on top of it.

Curious, Yun Chuxue approached and looked at what Yu Shi had written.

Yun Chuxue flipped through it. The first page was about the day they met, recorded by Yu Shi.

Yun Chuxue kept flipping, finding memories about the two of them. Suddenly, she stopped. On one page, it read,

"Why doesn't she discuss with me? Clearly, I can help her, but why does she always want to do it alone? What am I in her eyes? I'm so tired..."

Continuing to the last page, it said,

"After this battle, I want to find a good family for Xixi. Then, I'll find a secluded place, take Snow with me, and spend the rest of our lives together."

This was obviously just written. Yun Chuxue closed the book, saying,

"Sorry, Yu Shi."

With that, she left the room, leaving the book behind.

At noon, Yun Ziqi led a massive army and stopped a hundred miles away. Yun Chuxue ordered the armies of the Western Cloud Empire and the Spirit Master's Mansion to halt ten miles away from the Demon Sect's army. The spirit beast army protected the troops and spirit masters from the front.

Yun Chuxue ascended into the sky, as did Yun Ziqi. When the two were less than a hundred meters apart, Yun Ziqi spoke,

"Yun Chuxue, in today's battle, we will see who is the strongest on this continent."

"Today, only one of us can survive."

Yun Chuxue charged forward with her Moon Chant Sword, and Yun Ziqi met her head-on.

In an instant, the two clashed.

Yun Chuxue had been on the defensive, already forming a one-sided momentum.

Yu Shi watched with unwavering determination, his eyes fixed on them.

Every time Yun Chuxue and Yun Ziqi clashed, the aftermath of their attacks left deep scars on the ground.

Yun Ziqi taunted, "Yun Chuxue, too slow, too slow."

The two swords forced Yun Chuxue back.

Yun Chuxue gasped for breath, while Yun Ziqi seemed unfazed.

"Moon Chant Dance of Heaven and Death."

This spirit technique caused a phenomenon in the sky, with layers of dark clouds swirling and thunder crackling.

"Demonic Seal."

The collision of the several-zhang-wide milky white beam and the black beam resulted in a huge explosion. The ground cracked, and tremors could be felt for miles around.

Yun Ziqi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, incredulously saying,

"So this is your strongest attack. I underestimated it. From now on, I will take it seriously."

Because just now, when Yun Chuxue released the Moon Chant Dance of Heaven and Death, she also activated the Blood Breaking Frenzy, maximizing the power of the Moon Chant Dance of Heaven and Death.

Yun Chuxue and Yun Ziqi clashed again, and this time, Yun Chuxue could clearly feel that he was even stronger than before.

When Yun Chuxue was slightly distracted, Yun Ziqi's palm struck her chest, sending her back hundreds of meters.

Then, with dark magic surging around him, three dark balls of magic swiftly flew towards Yun Chuxue and stuck to her body.

Yun Chuxue immediately felt the three balls devouring her spiritual power.

Just as Yun Chuxue was about to struggle, the three balls suddenly exploded.

"Ah!"

Yun Chuxue screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

Clutching her chest, she spat out blood.

Yun Ziqi sneered from above, "Yun Chuxue, is that all you've got?"

At this moment, Yun Ziqi suddenly found that his movements had slowed down.

"Not good."

Just as Yun Ziqi was about to retreat, a sword slashed towards him, and he hurriedly defended himself before being pushed back hundreds of meters.

Just now, Yun Chuxue released the Yin-Yang Sutra to heal her injuries and then unleashed the Heavenly Moon Star Slash.

Yun Chuxue teleported into the air and gazed at Yun Ziqi, unleashing her temporal domain.

Yun Ziqi showed no weakness and released his own magic domain.

The collision of the two domains created an invisible roar.

Soon, both of their domain powers wore down almost equally. They resumed their intense battle.

Yun Chuxue activated the Blood Breaking Frenzy and continuously used the Moon Chant Dance of Heaven and Death for long-range attacks, while Yun Ziqi countered with the Demonic Seal.

After a moment of intense fighting, Yun Ziqi seized the opportunity and unleashed his strongest attack.

"Demonic Descent."

The sky changed abruptly, and a huge dark magic hand descended.

Yun Chuxue was locked in by this spirit technique and couldn't escape. She exhausted all her spiritual power to release the Four Elements Protection.

"Boom~"

The Four Elements Protection shattered, leaving Yun Chuxue devoid of spiritual power.

Just as Yun Chuxue felt despair, Moxian appeared. She induced the Illusory Spirit Array on Yun Chuxue and absorbed some of the spiritual power from the ring, controlling Yun Chuxue's body herself.

"Moon Chant Dance of Heaven and Death."

A milky white beam pierced through the huge magic hand, causing it to shatter.

Yun Ziqi clapped his hands, "Very good, Yun Chuxue, that's more like it. It seems I have to bring out my true strength."

Then, around Yun Ziqi, magic surged more and more densely.

"Imperial Heaven Technique."

Yun Ziqi lightly tapped the air with his finger, and an extremely thin thread of magic shot through Yun Chuxue's body at an invisible speed from her abdomen.

Yun Chuxue clutched her abdomen, blood slowly flowing down from her thighs.

At this moment, a magic barrier formed around Yun Chuxue within a mile.

Hundreds of magic points hovered above the magic barrier.

Suddenly, these magic points, as if they had a mind of their own, continuously shot magic light balls at Yun Chuxue.

Wherever Yun Chuxue dodged, it struck. Because at this moment, Yun Chuxue was actually Moxian, who was focused on finding a breakthrough.

"Yun Chuxue, after my last sleep, I remembered a move. Today, I'll show it to you. This move is called 'Daybreak'."

Golden spiritual power surrounded the Moon Chant Sword as Yun Chuxue thrust it forward.

A several-zhang-wide golden beam shot out.

At the same time, the magic points instantly transformed into a large one, firing a dark beam of light towards the Daybreak.

"Boom~"

The explosion resounded, and Yun Chuxue squatted there, coughing up blood. At this moment, her body's spiritual power was somewhat depleted.

At the Illusory Spirit Array, they felt the spiritual power in the array suddenly disappear, so they began to fully charge the array.

Yun Chuxue eased up and rushed over.

In the hundreds of rounds of combat with Yun Ziqi, Yun Ziqi initially didn't notice the change in Yun Chuxue's attack style. He didn't realize Moxian's presence. He discovered that the reason Yun Chuxue's spiritual power never seemed to run out was that there was an array maintaining it, so Yun Chuxue didn't lack spiritual power.

The two continued to fight for about a day. Yun Chuxue was panting heavily, as was Yun Ziqi.

During the battle, Yun Ziqi had been conserving his spiritual power, while Yun Chuxue hadn't paid much attention to hers, so Yun Ziqi felt tired.

Yun Chuxue had deep sword scars on her right arm and left leg, while Yun Ziqi had only minor injuries on his back.
