**Within the martial arena.**

Blood mist churned violently.

A terrifying aura of blood and slaughter enveloped Wu Lei and the Abyssal Flame Python, exuding an ominous and heart-stirring malevolence. Qing Shiyu, standing firm in the arena, tightly gripped the Quanyuan Knife with both hands, her expression calm yet indifferent. As the overwhelming surge of blood energy erupted, an unnerving aura of killing intent continuously billowed forth. Within Qing Shiyu, a force was steadily accumulating and stacking up.

“**Little Yan!**” Wu Lei’s voice boomed, “**Go!**”

In an instant,

The man and the python, encircled by blood mist and radiating a dazzling brilliance, unleashed their power. As the massive body of the Abyssal Flame Python surged forth, the heart-stirring and terrifying luster abruptly transformed into a blood-colored bronze cauldron. The cauldron, a zhang tall and enveloped in blood light, seemed to possess an inexplicable, soul-sucking, heart-stirring power.

Seeing the blood cauldron charging towards her, Qing Shiyu’s eyes were filled with a cold, unyielding killing intent that lingered and did not dissipate.

“**Invisible Sky Blade Slash!**”

With a shout in her heart, Qing Shiyu gripped the knife with both hands, her spiritual energy boiling, and she slashed forward with all her might.

In that moment,

A three-zhang-long blade radiance, condensed with endless surging blade energy, scattered towards all directions. The blade itself charged straight at Wu Lei and the Abyssal Flame Python, ceaselessly pursuing and attacking.

The cauldron and the blade.

They collided completely.

Boom…

In an instant, the deafening roar echoed incessantly. Within the martial arena, the blade struck the body of the cauldron. The blood cauldron’s radiance surged out in an instant, rushing towards the blade, enveloping it, attempting to swallow the blade whole.

Wu Lei continuously pinched seals, channeling his spiritual energy and terrifying power to control the blood cauldron, working together with the Abyssal Flame Python to press forward relentlessly.

Yet Qing Shiyu, holding the Quanyuan Knife, continuously slashed out blade shadows, attacking and killing the blood cauldron.

By shattering this blood cauldron, Wu Lei would be defeated.

A complete tug-of-war between the two began.

The blade was constantly being swallowed and annihilated by the blood cauldron.

It seemed that Wu Lei was about to win.

Suddenly.

An extremely sharp aura burst forth from within the enveloped blade.

“**Blade Intent!!!!**”

The crowd’s shocked cries rang out abruptly.

Qing Shiyu had condensed the Blade Intent.

The blade, wrapped in blood radiance, gradually tore through the blood barrier. As it continued to chop at the blood cauldron, it shattered the blood-colored radiance on the cauldron bit by bit.

At the same time,

Wu Lei and the Abyssal Flame Python, connected as one, were also suffering greatly as the blood cauldron’s radiance was continuously shattered.

“**Vomit…**”

Suddenly, Wu Lei spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.

And beneath him, the Abyssal Flame Python also seemed to be in a bad way.

Seeing that Wu Lei did not admit defeat, Qing Shiyu’s body soared into the air. Holding the Quanyuan Knife, she slashed out once more. Her entire person, following the blade, directly charged to the front of Wu Lei and the Abyssal Flame Python.

“**Heavenly Blade Falls!**”

The blade howled, radiating brilliant light, and slashed straight at the Abyssal Flame Python.

Seeing that this slash was even more fierce than the previous attack, Wu Lei finally understood in his heart that he had lost.

He opened his mouth, his face turning ashen as he said, “I admit defeat.”

Hearing Wu Lei’s admission of defeat, Qing Shiyu’s figure paused. She turned her palm, and the Quanyuan Knife let out a buzzing sound. The slash in mid-air was barely restrained by her, preventing it from being unleashed.

However, forcibly retracting such a powerful blade energy would undoubtedly place a tremendous burden on Qing Shiyu herself.

Seeing Qing Shiyu halt her attack, Wu Lei also let out a slight sigh of relief.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Beneath Wu Lei, the Abyssal Flame Python’s eyes turned blood-red, and it suddenly went berserk. Its massive body burst forth with a terrifying blood aura. With a spray from its mouth, a dreadful blood arrow shot through the air, heading straight for Qing Shiyu.

“**Little Yan, no!**”

Wu Lei’s face turned pale.

But it was already too late!

The blood arrow rushed towards Qing Shiyu.

Qing Shiyu had just retracted her force and had not yet dissipated the residual energy of her own slash. Seeing the blood arrow coming, she hastily raised her knife and slashed.

Boom!!!

The blood arrow exploded.

Qing Shiyu’s body was knocked backward, crashing to the ground and tumbling repeatedly.

Outside the martial arena, Ye Wushuang’s face turned cold upon seeing this scene.

“Quickly, remove the seal.”

The steward of the Tianyuan Pavilion quickly lifted the seal.

In a flash, Ye Wushuang appeared beside Qing Shiyu, gently lifting her up. One of his hands quietly checked Qing Shiyu’s injuries.

At this moment, Wu Lei also descended from the massive body of the Abyssal Flame Python. Looking at Qing Shiyu, whose face had turned pale, he hurriedly said, “I’m sorry. I’ve already admitted defeat. This beast… got out of control. It’s my fault. I sincerely apologize!”

Ye Wushuang paid no attention to Wu Lei but instead looked at the Abyssal Flame Python standing behind him.

Wu Lei hastily took out various bottles and jars, saying, “These are all healing spiritual pills. Young Master Ye, please take them to treat Miss Qing’s injuries.”

Ye Wushuang coldly replied, “We in the Shengtian Sect also have healing pills. There’s no need.”

“Since you’ve already admitted defeat, and Shiyu forcibly stopped her attack, yet your beast continued to attack. Whether this was intentional or not, only you know.”

Hearing this, Wu Lei’s face froze. He quickly explained, “I’m not so despicable. I admit defeat when I lose. This Abyssal Flame Python indeed once had a tendency to go berserk and disregard my commands…”

“A disobedient beast should be killed!” Ye Wushuang indifferently said, “If you’re reluctant, I’ll help you.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Lei’s face turned rigid.

At this moment, Fu Jinyao also rushed over and hastily said, “Young Master Ye, calm down, calm down. This Abyssal Flame Python is truly wild and unruly. It once even injured Wu Lei himself!”

Ye Wushuang just coldly looked at Wu Lei and the Abyssal Flame Python behind him.

Qing Shiyu then got down from Ye Wushuang’s arms, stood on the spot, and said, “I’m fine. Prince Wu Lei probably didn’t mean it. Let’s just forget it…”

Ye Wushuang glanced at Qing Shiyu.

Qing Shiyu shook her head and said, “It’s okay.”

Then, Ye Wushuang looked at Wu Lei and coldly said, “My sister told me that you, Wu Xueqing, and Fu Jinyao have been very caring towards her. I won’t hold this against you, but I hope in the future, I won’t hear that you did this on purpose.”

Hearing this, Wu Lei’s face turned ugly.

Fu Jinyao quickly laughed and said, “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Alright, alright. Once we return to the sect, I’ll definitely report to the cauldron master and properly discipline this beast…”

“Why wait until we return to the sect to discipline it?”

Ye Wushuang let out a cold snort, took a step forward, summoned his palm, and the Tai’a Sword appeared.

In an instant, a chilling aura condensed. With a swing of the Tai’a Sword, Ye Wushuang directly slashed towards the massive figure of the Abyssal Flame Python.
