Chapter 49

As her fingers danced, the obscure seal gradually took shape, and Xu Xiaoshou felt the temperature of the chains rise.

"Smelt!"

Mo Mo lightly commanded, and lava surged from the four great rifts in the sky, flowing along the chains.

"Heavens, is this really okay?"

The audience was stunned; they, still at the acquired realm, could not understand the battle of the innate realm.

If an ordinary tenth-stage spirit cultivator were to face this, they would probably be done for in an instant!

Xu Xiaoshou was also somewhat frustrated. He pleaded, "No, give me a chance!"

Mo Mo ignored him and increased the intensity. Instantly, the lava flowed over Xu Xiaoshou's body.

"Ah—"

Xu Xiaoshou instinctively let out a heart-wrenching scream, but suddenly felt it wasn't so painful. He stopped his howling.

What's going on?

It feels familiar?

He recalled the situation when he refined the "Ashen Flame Seed" at Goose Lake, the pain from the inside out, that was truly agonizing!

This lava, from the outside in, was really a minor pain compared to that. Although it hurt, it wasn't enough to make him scream.

It just looked terrifying.

Sizzle~

His flesh was burned through, but quickly recovered, over and over again. Apart from the bearable pain, this move seemed to have no effect on Xu Xiaoshou!

"Hehe, not bad at all!"

Xu Xiaoshou was delighted. The sight of him being tortured made him look like a masochist.

Even so, the audience couldn't laugh. Even Xiao Qixiu had a serious expression.

"This Xu Xiaoshou, to reach this point today, must have endured countless hardships. He doesn't even feel the burning of the lava!"

"To be honest, I'm really impressed. Those who can cultivate to the innate realm are all incredibly determined."

"Phew... Xu Xiaoshou reaching this point isn't just luck!"

Su Qianqian, heartbroken, covered her eyes, unable to watch.

Zhang Xinxiong's face was expressionless, but he also stopped teasing Xu Xiaoshou.

"Respected, passive value, +666."

"Concerned, passive value, +888."

"..."

In the arena, Mo Mo was truly shocked by this scene.

No one knew the terrifying temperature of the lava better than she did, yet Xu Xiaoshou seemed to take it in stride.

She looked at Xiao Qixiu, unable to bear to increase the intensity of the attack.

The referee in the air shook his head. For a spirit cultivator with such great determination, no one could stop him from winning.

If Xu Xiaoshou could endure, how could he possibly end the match?

"Phew..."

Mo Mo gritted her teeth and instantly doubled the temperature!

The red lava suddenly gained a black hue, and this turbid fluid instantly penetrated Xu Xiaoshou's clothing.

"Ugh!"

Xu Xiaoshou's face finally showed pain. The sudden increase in temperature was higher than before.

No, if this continues, I'll really die!

His eyes darted, recalling the refinement method from that day. What if...

He could refine the lava into his body?

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up. Pain is pain, but let's do it!

His chest trembled, and a red-gold pill flew out. Xu Xiaoshou bit it and then sucked it in.

"Sizzle!"

The surging heat energy instantly melted his mouth and nose, but they were quickly repaired.

The sea of qi absorbed another wave of scorching energy, completely absorbing it.

"It works!"

Xu Xiaoshou was delighted and continued without hesitation.

Everyone was shocked. This...

Was too intense!

The scene was so brutal that no one could even speak a word. The arena was deathly silent, and everyone involuntarily cheered for Xu Xiaoshou in their hearts.

Mo Mo couldn't bear to watch.

Xu Xiaoshou could endure, but she, the one inflicting the torture, couldn't. This was too cruel.

I, Mo Mo, am not like this!

"But..."

"If 'Sealing the Heavens and Earth' can't defeat him, do I have to use that move...?" Mo Mo unconsciously touched her right arm.

Xu Xiaoshou noticed!

His legs trembled. The lava hadn't made him yield, but Mo Mo's subtle movements almost made him kneel.

What is she going to do, unseal something?

No way!

"Stop!" Xu Xiaoshou roared.

Mo Mo looked up. Does he know what I'm going to do?

It shouldn't be...

But never mind, let him be freed!

Mo Mo's left hand formed a seal, and a series of complex gestures followed.

Xu Xiaoshou was in a bad state. No, it's not necessary, I'm not worth it!

He didn't know what Mo Mo's right hand was sealed, but without unsealing it, she already had such terrifying combat power. If unsealed...

What would happen?

"What to do, what to do..."

Xu Xiaoshou's mind raced. He had to stop her!

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the four chains that bound him...

Xu Xiaoshou closed his eyes.

The next moment, the thousands of spirit swords that had just calmed down trembled again.

Xiao Qixiu's pupils constricted. This guy...

Has he already mastered "All Things Are Swords"?

He only knew "Reverse Sword Technique" at noon, is he a monster?

"Buzz—"

The thousands of spirit swords rose again. Xu Xiaoshou, while breathing in the scorching air, controlled the sword intent of the entire arena.

Soon, he sensed a special sword qi...

The sword qi that Mo Mo had swallowed but not yet refined!

Xu Xiaoshou frowned. In his "perception," a murky force suppressed this sword qi, preventing it from causing any trouble.

But...

"Reverse Sword Technique!"

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly pulled, and "Zangku" on the ground turned and shot forward!

He forcibly interrupted the sword intent, and the black sword clattered to the ground.

The audience was confused, not knowing what Xu Xiaoshou was doing. The next moment, they noticed something was wrong with Mo Mo.

Her left hand, forming the seal, was forcibly interrupted. Her face flushed, and her abdomen slightly bulged, as if something inside was about to burst.

"Xu... Xiao... Shou!"

Mo Mo immediately knew it was this guy causing trouble, furious, and quickly stopped everything to suppress the sword qi.

"Hehe!"

Xu Xiaoshou seemed to have found a solution. "Reverse Sword Technique!"

The black sword stood up, but before it could fly, it was interrupted and clattered to the ground again.

At the same time, Mo Mo's body suddenly trembled but quickly calmed down. She frowned but also sighed in relief.

Thankfully, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't distract her for long...

But was it really like that?

"Reverse Sword Technique!"

The black sword stood up...

"Interrupt!"

Clatter...

"Ugh!"

Mo Mo's body trembled, and she suddenly looked up, seemingly realizing something.

The audience, stunned, also seemed to realize something...

"Xu Xiaoshou, no way!"

"Damn, that's a bit too much!"

Xu Xiaoshou also realized something, not just in his mind, but in action.

"Reverse Sword Technique... Interrupt!"

"Reverse Sword Technique... Interrupt!"

"Clatter!"

"Clatter!"

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

Mo Mo trembled twice, her face blushing, "Xu Xiao..."

"Reverse, reverse, reverse!"

"Interrupt, interrupt, interrupt!"

"Clank, clank, clank!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

Mo Mo's entire face turned red, even her neck was flushed, half from embarrassment, half from anger!

"Xu..."

"Reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse!"

"Interrupt, interrupt, interrupt, interrupt, interrupt!"

"Clank, clank, clank, clank, clank!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!"

The atmosphere of the final match suddenly changed, and everyone was stunned. Xiao Qixiu's legs gave out, and he fell from the air.

"Phew!"

Xu Xiaoshou, hearing Mo Mo's rhythmic throat sounds, couldn't control his expression and spat out a mouthful of blood, laughing.

"Cursed, passive value, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1..."
