Whoosh.

The sound of clear water lingered over the sky, but it was this crisp sound that made the scalps of countless disciples tingle in fear. It was clear that they all felt a terrible force contained in the seemingly gentle stream of water.

The clear and soft stream of water transformed into a massive lake, entrapping Xie Tianhe and the Demonic Blood Beast in it.

Xie Tianhe looked at the clear water surrounding him. His face twisted with vexation but he was not one to resign himself to death like a sitting duck. His gaze darkened as he conjured up different seals. The Demonic Blood Beast growled as it opened its large, ferocious mouth. A huge beam of blood red light shot out, and violent spiritual energy fluctuations swept through.

Pssh!

However, when the seemingly ferocious beam of blood red light crashed harshly on the pillar of water, it did not achieve much effect. Instead, it diminished at an alarming speed under the flow of the water.

The seemingly gentle lake, however, had become an impenetrable prison, firmly binding Xie Tianhe.

Luo Li hovered in the air, her crystal-like eyes looking nonchalantly at the fierce resistance Xie Tianhe was putting up. She stretched out her slender fingers and pointed them gently downwards.

Crash!

Suddenly, the waves of the gentle lake thrashed violently, revealing its ferocious side. The currents abruptly shrank and contracted. Billowing waves unfolded carrying strange fluctuations as the lake mercilessly bombarded the massive body of the Demonic Blood Beast.

Tsst-whoosh!

The currents rushed up and suddenly there was a shrill roar of agony as white mist rose up from the huge body of the Demonic Blood Beast. Huge expanses of skin had melted off, revealing the flesh and blood within. The Demonic Blood Beast was not in its real physical manifestation, but merely a force of its Soul Essence. Hence, it was not the real flesh and blood that disintegrated, but the pure spiritual energy and the power of the Soul Essence.

Thus, in the face of the vast streams of water, the crowd could clearly see that the Demonic Blood Beast’s massive body was shrinking rapidly as its spiritual energy was being eroded.

Xie Tianhe stood on the shoulders of the Demonic Blood Beast, his face deathly pale and his eyes struck with terror. He found that no matter how much of a defense he put up, he could not resist the seemingly gentle, clear water. He could only watch helplessly as the Demonic Blood Beast melted away while the waves crashed.

In just a few moments, the Demonic Blood Beast trapped in the tumultuous currents had shrunk by nearly half, and the wild spiritual energy fluctuations that preceded it had begun to wither.

“The Serpent of Luo River.”

Luo Li’s breathtakingly beautiful face remained calm as she conjured up seals with one hand.

Hiss!

In the lake, there was a shrill whine and the water currents were torn with a swish. A dozen giant pythons sprang out. Their huge tails swung around the body of the Demonic Blood Beast, entangling and binding it securely. That terrifying force stopped the Demonic Blood Beast from moving even a muscle and was powerful enough to squeeze the Demonic Blood Beast into pieces just by sheer force.

Xie Tianhe’s expression grew distorted as he thrust his arms into the Demonic Blood Beast’s body. Despite feeling his Blood Essence surge out, he could barely put up a resistance. He could feel the growing power of the constricting force as his defense began to gradually falter.

The power of the Luo River to dissolve everything was overwhelmingly strong!

Around the golden battle stage, countless disciples watched the scene unfold and were unable to help but gasp in wonder. Who would have thought that Luo Li had such an unexpectedly strong ace up her sleeve? Once she revealed her hand, it had completely suppressed Xie Tianhe.

“All the best Senior Luo Li!”

In the direction of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, numerous disciples cheered and shouted loudly with excited faces. Although they had lost Mu Chen, who had the strongest combat power, Luo Li’s performance had amazed them. Although the victor of this Spiritual Academy Competition had not yet appeared, it was undeniable that the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy had put up the most impressive performance.

Creak!

In the midst of the roaring cheers, Xie Tianhe’s face became more and more aggravated. The massive body of the Demonic Blood Beast began to emit soft creaking sounds, signalling that it was at its limit. If this continued, it was bound to be destroyed, dealing irreparable damage to Xie Tianhe as well. He would no longer be able to withstand Luo Li.

Krawk!
