You won't be disappointed.
Every time its quality increased, its power would increase.
The Seven Ultimate Magnificent Flames was comparable to the seventh strongest flame on the Exceptional Flame List.
Of course, it could only imitate Exceptional Flames that were of a lower grade than itself.
For example, Qin Hao's Red Lotus Tyrannical Flame was ranked too high for it to imitate.
Given Duan Zijue's current cultivation, he could only use the fifth Ultimate Magnificent Flames.
Even so, its power had reached a terrifying level.
More than half of the vast arena that was almost two thousand meters wide was covered in blazing flames, forming a sea of flames that surged furiously into the sky. The scorching high temperature that rose without end caused even the sun to dim in comparison.
Tsiogua and the others, who were closer to the arena, were sweating profusely, except for Qin Hao.
Not to mention the commoners outside the arena. If they were to stand at the edge of the arena, they would have been burned to ashes long ago without even stepping into the sea of flames.
As for Qin Hao, he had the stronger Red Lotus Tyrannical Flame, so he was basically immune to the temperature of the Magnificent Flames.
No matter what, Duan Zijue's strength had already shaken everyone.
Unfortunately, Qin Hao didn't feel relieved for Duan Zijue because of this.
Because Xuanyuan Wuji's aura was even stronger!
Bang!
The Phantom Dragon Claw rushed into the flame barrier without any hindrance. The 30-meter-thick flame barrier didn't have any effect on the Phantom Dragon Claw.
Soon after, five "Bang Bang Bang" sounds were heard.
The five orange flames that Duan Zijue maintained in the flame barrier were all extinguished by the Phantom Dragon Claw. In the end, the Phantom Dragon Claw landed on Duan Zijue's chest.
At this moment, Duan Zijue was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Half of his clothes were torn to shreds, and the sea of fire on the arena was extinguished.
Then, Duan Zijue fell off the arena. He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of bruised black blood. His eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.
Whoosh!
In an instant, countless figures stood up from the Imperial Tower and looked down dumbfounded.
The first person to stand up was Duan Zijue's father, Daliao's Battle King, Duan Zhanfei.
Duan Zhanfei's eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment!
Not only Battle King, even Pavilion Master Jiang, Mansion Master Cui and the head of Song family stretched out their necks and widely opened their eyes. Apparently, they had not imagined that Duan Zijue could be defeated by Xuanyuan Wuji.
Xuanyuan Wuji's power was far out of the imagination of these old guys!
"What?"
"Only one strike?"
"And it was a very casual attack!"
On the stage was Qi Yuan.
Murong Zijun, who was in the palace, was also shocked. His heart was in turmoil.
Of course, they were clear about the power of Duan Zijue. Actually, Duan Zijue was only a bit weaker than Murong Zijun and Qi Yuan; however, he was easily defeated by Xuanyuan Wuji.
At this moment, Qi Yuan and Murong Zijun were watching Xuanyuan Wuji with full of fear and dread.
Even Kill Million Knives who ranked 4th couldn't help but clench his fists as he felt a great threat from Xuanyuan Wuji.
"This person has the qualifications to fight me head-on!"
The only one who could remain calm was Zhou Wudao.
Zhou Wudao licked his lips as he gazed at Xuanyuan Wuji with amazement as if he had discovered a new continent. Zhou Wudao couldn't help but tremble a bit, not out of fear, but out of excitement.
Because Zhou Wudao finally found a worthy opponent in this Emperor Martial Arts Competition.
"Zijue!"
Battle King Duan Zhanfei was stunned for a long time before he recovered his composure. With a flash, he appeared beside Duan Zijue.
Qin Hao was not slow either. The moment Battle King arrived beside Duan Zijue, Qin Hao had also arrived.
"I'm sorry … father … I've embarrassed you!"
Duan Zijue looked very painful as he clenched the place where he had been hit by Xuanyuan Wuji. The flesh on his chest had turned dark and sunken in.
He mustered his strength and tried to stand up. However, after struggling for a short while, he couldn't break free at all.
From this, it could be seen that Xuanyuan Wuji hadn't healed Duan Zijue's injuries. Even though Duan Zijue had been knocked off the stage, he was still firmly suppressed by Xuanyuan Wuji.
"In father's heart, you will always be the best son!"
Duan Zhanfei's heart ached as he squatted down and poured his Emperor Qi into Duan Zijue's body to help him suppress his injuries.
However, Duan Zijue's complexion didn't improve at all, which shocked Battle King once again.
Xuanyuan Wuji's lips curled into a proud smile as he sneered.
"Duan Zijue, you're holding on!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Hao reached out his hand and channeled the power of Nether Cleansing Water into Duan Zijue's chest through his palm. The blackish-blue flesh on Duan Zijue's chest started to emanate a sacred, watery light.
Duan Zijue immediately felt his body lighten and his pain lessen.
However, the blackish-blue flesh on his chest still didn't fade away.
"It's the power of the soul!"
Qin Hao muttered to himself. Then, his star system discovered that the illusory dragon claw was still inside Duan Zijue's body. The dragon claw was still emitting an evil dragon's roar as it continued to corrode Duan Zijue's internal organs.
"Get the hell out!"
Qin Hao roared as dragon roars echoed around him. His majesty was even stronger than the evil dragon claw in Duan Zijue's body.
This was because Qin Hao's dragon soul belonged to a giant dragon!
Following this, Qin Hao's palm, which was pressing down on Duan Zijue's chest, was suddenly covered by a layer of dense dragon scales. As he pulled with all his might, a wisp of white, soul-like gas was forcibly pulled out from Duan Zijue's body. Then, with a clench of his hand, Qin Hao forcefully shattered the claw-like gas.
Duan Zijue's blackish-blue flesh gradually returned to normal as his sunken chest gradually returned to normal.
"Hmm?"
Xuanyuan Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up. He was surprised that Qin Hao could actually extract the dragon soul he had sent into Duan Zijue's body.
"I don't think I need to thank you. However, I have to remind you that that fellow … is … is a mid-level fifth-level Yuan Venerate. Qin Hao … You must be careful of him. His cultivation base is definitely not much weaker than Zhou Wudao's!"
Duan Zijue's aura was very weak. His pale palms were desperately clutching Qin Hao's arm as tears streamed down his cheeks.
Qin Hao understood.
Duan Zijue's eyes were filled with hope.
He had pinned his unwillingness, his failure, and his hope for victory on Qin Hao.
"I will remember this. I won't let you down!"
Qin Hao's eyes were blazing with scarlet flames. Duan Zijue and Duan Zhanfei could clearly sense his strong and resolute will.
There was no need for Qin Hao to say anything, as Xin Keyue had already arrived at the scene quietly.
"Old Prince, this is a senior from Western Liang. She is a Monarch and is proficient in alchemy. With her around, Brother Zijue will be safe and there won't be any problems!"
Qin Hao pointed at Xin Keyue and introduced her to the Warlord.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"
The Warlord cupped his fists and bowed solemnly.
Although his cultivation base was at the Monarch Grade, he was clearly far inferior to a Monarch Grade alchemist in terms of how to take care of the severely injured Duan Zijue.
Xin Keyue nodded and accompanied Duan Zijue to the Warlord's mansion under the protection of a group of people.
"Kid, I hope you won't let down my son's good intentions!"
