Yi Tianyun didn't expect Bai Shuihuang to be here out of all places, but more importantly, why would she leave the Phoenix Race behind? But it was most likely because Bai Shuihuang had learned about the Evil Spirit Race! There was no way Phoenix Clan and Evil Spirit Race could coexist anyway, so here she was!
Yi Tianyun then observed the crowds and was a little bit surprised that he found some other elders of the Phoenix Race among them, which was none other than Shopkeeper Ye. With that knowledge, Yi Tianyun wouldn't be surprised if he found some other Phoenix Clan Elders here later on! The Phoenix Clan's cultivation was indeed strong, but Yi Tianyun wasn't sure whether they could take on the Evil Spirit Race that had already taken control over the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower by themselves!
An explosion surprised everyone as Bai Shuihuang's Immortal Fire and Qin Jian's Netherworld's Fire collided again, causing an explosion that would easily kill any normal cultivator. Immortal Fire might be stronger than Netherworld's Fire, but Qin Jian's Netherworld's Fire was a lot more intense than Bai Shuihuang's Immortal Fire, so she was losing ground at the moment.
"I didn't expect to see a Phoenix Bloodline in this place, but I welcome you gladly!" Qin Jian laughed maniacally. He released the power of his City Lord's Flame Imprint, empowering his Netherworld's Fire further. Qin Jian licked his lips as he was delighted to see Phoenix Clan here. He really wanted to consume their bloodline so that he could further improve his power.
As for Bai Shuihuang, she was trying hard to find a weak spot on Qin Jian's defence. She knew that she couldn't win against Qin Jian's Netherworld's Fire, so she had to put everything to her own wits to win the battle. She knew that she couldn't prolong the battle like this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have any chance of winning.
"I'll wipe the grin out of that ugly face today!" Bai Shuihuang said coldly. She tried to increase her Immortal Fire's firepower and summoned the Phoenix Phantom Shadow to assist her. She immediately clashed her Immortal Fire with Qin Jian's Netherworld's Fire once again!
"My ugly face? It's so hard to see past your spiteful word, woman!" Qin Jian said coldly. He used his Netherworld's Fire to enhance his body, thus increasing his power several folds! "This place is my territory! Even if you are the great Phoenix Race, you're powerless here!" Qin Jian coldly said as he started to wave his giant axe around. The Giant Axe was similar in terms of appearance to what Qin Sheng used in his fight with Yi Tianyun earlier.
The Giant Axe could just split Bai Shuihuang in half, and Qin Jian's attack wasn't slow either! As time went by, it was clear that Bai Shuihuang was in a dire as she looked exhausted, while Qin Jian didn't seem to be out of breath at all. Bai Shuihuang tried to dodge the attack with her amazing speed and successfully dodged it by a hairbreadth, but to what end?
"That is enough, Lord Bai!" Shopkeeper Ye shouted as he didn't like the way things went. Bai Shuihuang herself knows that she was pushed to a corner, but she didn't want to admit that she lost just yet! There was nothing she hated more than losing. Furthermore, she really wanted to kill all these Evil Spirit Race scumbags!
"Lord Bai! It is okay! Leave everything else to me!" Yi Tianyun said as he walked across the crowds. Every eye was immediately focused on Yi Tianyun as they heard his arrogant words.
"Divine Envoy!" Shopkeeper Ye shouted surprisedly. He didn't expect to encounter Yi Tianyun here out of all places. Bai Shuihuang also glanced towards the voice and sighed as she used the last ounce of her power to empower the Immortal Fire for the last time. She turned into a huge phoenix and started to rush forward to attack Qin Jian!
She successfully hit Qin Jian that was caught off guard since he didn't expect that Bai Shuihuang still got a fight left in her. She charged at Qin Jian like an arrow, resulting in Qin Jian not having enough time to get away.
Bai Shuihuang herself didn't continue the battle as she rushed towards the edge of the platform and jumped out of it. The barrier that protected the platform immediately disappeared as it marked the end of the battle with Qin Jian's victory. At the same time, the Flame Imprint on Bai Shuihuang's arm was catapulted towards Qin Jian as then reward for his victory.
"I will let you win this one!" Bai Shuihuang said with a smile on her face. She immediately disappeared as she was teleported back to the 3rd Layer City due to losing her qualification to stay in 4th Layer City. She didn't have the 4th Flame Imprint anymore when she lost her duel against Qin Jian, but it didn't really matter for her.
"I didn't expect to be downed by that woman!" Qin Jian said as he was annoyed by Bai Shuihuang's last struggle. He thought that he could win easily against Bai Shuihuang that he was caught off guard at the last moment! Furthermore, Bai Shuihuang has escaped his clutch, further annoyed him since he couldn't get his hands on the rare Phoenix Bloodline!
But at the same time, Yi Tianyun stepped up into the platform with his gaze still on Qin Jian. "I challenge Qin Jian, the City Lord of 4th Layer City!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.
"No thanks, you aren't from Phoenix Bloodline. I don't have any reason to fight you!" Qin Jian waved his hands dismissively.
"It doesn't matter whether you are interested or not. This duel is already a decided matter!" Yi Tianyun said as he showed Qin Jian the blue circle on his 3rd Flame Imprint, a sign that he was the City Lord for 3rd Layer City, and the duel between two City Lords couldn't be rejected!
"You are the 3rd Layer City's City Lord? You! You killed my brother!" Qin Jian said as his eyes reddened and filled with fury.
"Well, for a weakling and a trash race like you and your brother, death is already the best thing I could give!" Yi Tianyun said with a smirk on his face. "So, are you sure you don't want to fight me?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.
