"Qingyue!" Yueli shouted.
From Asgard's side, everyone's face became worried as they all stared at the bloodied Qingyue.
Not only them, but everyone within the arena had their eyes widened; this was the first severe injury in the whole tournament!
It seemed like Cang Yue wasn't holding back with her attacks at all!
"Fairy Xia!" Ling Yun also shouted. His face worried, he stared at Qingyue with a painful gaze.
Despite knowing that she was the wife of someone else, he still couldn't stop himself from worrying about her.
Her attitude really made Yufeng sigh. She could see her last husband in her son! And this made her unwilling.
She wondered if it was genes or something.
Qingyue's crystal black eyes trembled, and she stumbled back a step or two.
Her hand raised, she placed it over the cut which extended from her left shoulder to her left breast, creating a horrendous sight where one could even see the bone!
Her face scrunched with pain, and she hurriedly used ice profound energy to seal the wound, making sure she didn't bleed out.
"Sister Qingyue, you cannot beat me. Please give up."
Qingyue glared at Cang Yue, feeling as if she was being looked down upon by her.
An emotion that she hadn't felt for such a long time burst out of her body: anger!
Profound energy cracked around her as she kept glaring at Cang Yue, as if wanting to slap her on the face.
This only put a wry smile on Cang Yue's face as she internally wondered: 'I won't be hated by Sister Qingyue… right? Would it be like those novels I read? Where the first wife hates the second wife and wants to kill her?'
"... This fight hasn't ended yet." Qingyue replied. Her voice still hadn't lost its out-of-the-world melodic touch, enough to make any listener infatuated with her. "And it won't end unless one of us is not standing anymore!"
Her declaration stunned Cang Yue, but her expression soon returned to neutral as she raised the sword in her hand, pointing the tip at Qingyue.
Seeing this, Qingyue also didn't hold back anymore.
Profound energy burst out of her body like an unstoppable tsunami.
Cold, it froze everything around her instantly!
Her lips parted, and an incomparably melodic voice left them: "Frozen Cloud Domain."
Cang Yue blinked, and everything around her changed!
Her mind didn't even have time to register what had happened! And by the time she realized, she was already within an icy field where as far she looked, she could only see snow white ice and nothing else!
Not only that, in just a second, she felt her profound energy freezing at an incomparably fast rate! And the usage of it had become harder due to the resistance of the ice's profound energy around her!
Suddenly, the sound of air piercing appeared within her mind.
Hearing this, Cang Yue's face changed, and she hurriedly jumped backward.
The dense and cold fog in front of her was cut open diagonally by a beautiful crystal blue sword, held by an equally beautiful woman!
Qingyue's indifferent gaze stared at Cang Yue, her face was stoic with no apparent emotions on it!
"Since you cannot defeat me, you decided on this sneaky method? Sister Qingyue, I wouldn't have expected this of you."
Her taunting amounted to nothing as, with a gust of chilling wind, Qingyue's silhouette vanished within the fog once again.
Seeing this, Cang Yue's face constricted.
"This is bad," she thought. "The cold is piercing. Not only is it stopping my use of profound energy, but my movements are also constricted due to the cold! At this rate, I will lose before my body can even respond to anything!... I must end this instantly!"
Just then, she felt a sudden chill behind her.
Her hand blurred, and she slashed horizontally backward in a circle, but only hit an afterimage!
Her eyes widened as her body was hit by sudden pain and thrown forward at high speed!
She bounced on the snow over and over before stopping some 100 meters away!
Cang Yue breathed hard as warm feelings spread to her back, telling her that she had been cut!
Feeling this, she knew... if she didn't finish fast, she would lose.
Just thinking this made an unwilling expression appear on her face.
"Do I have to use that?... I guess I have no other choice then!"
Outside, everyone could only see a huge dome of ice where everything inside was hidden by thick fog circling around it.
But this was only for those who were weak.
For the stronger people, they could easily penetrate the veil of fog and see what was going on inside.
Yuechan and Yueli were two of these people.
"Qingyue won," Yueli replied with a smile. "Unless Princess Cang Yue has a way to break through the domain, her defeat is certain!"
Domain was a technique reserved only for those of Throne or stronger than them.
For people weaker than Throne, it was impossible to resist it! The same was true for Cang Yue. The moment Qingyue used the domain, Cang Yue's defeat was certain! Since the only way to resist the domain was to either fight it with another domain or break it into pieces!
But, to achieve the first, one needed to have the strength of a Throne, and for the second, overwhelming strength to break the domain instantly; otherwise, it would just repair itself over time.
Taking all this into consideration, Yuechan detected that Qingyue had won.
Hearing her sister's enthusiastic happy tone, Yuechan was silent.
She was not as optimistic as her sister since she knew how bizarre Yun Che was. And since Cang Yue was someone Yun Che trained, she believed that she must also have something special that contended with the domain of Qingyue.
This prompted her to put her full attention on the match.
Honestly, she wanted to just enter and slap both of them to assert her dominance and take the position of first wife herself, but she controlled herself. Her face wasn't thick enough to do it.
She could only control herself and "enjoy" the slight pain in her ass… Last night… She couldn't help but blush slightly thinking about it, her breathing fastening a little.
She never thought sex there would feel so good. And Yun Che was extra active last night, so their play lasted till morning.
If not for her cultivation, it is estimated that she wouldn't even have been able to attend today's tournament due to how tired she was!
Thankfully, Yun Che used some weird profound art to rejuvenate her. Or she would really not be able to attend today.
As she was lost in her thoughts, her eyes suddenly widened.
"That—!" She saw Cang Yue raise her sword and point it to the sky; it shone in brilliant crimson color!
She knows that technique!
It was the same technique Yun Che used to kill Stone Dragon Generals!
This technique had left a distinct mark in her memories due to how destructive it was. So seeing Cang Yue's motion, she caught it right away.
Her face changed.
"Qingyue lost."
And she declared, much to the astonishment of everyone beside her.
"Elder sister, what do you mean?" Yueli inquired, confused. Obviously, Qingyue was winning, so why did her elder sister say that she would lose? Yueli thought it didn't make sense.
"Because I say so." True to her nature, Yuechan's reply shut Yueli down instantly.
She didn't know what to reply anymore.
Instead, she also turned her attention back to the fight.
There, Cang Yue who had raised her sword and gathered all her profound energy at its tip, finally swung, her soft voice traveling to everyone's ears like a magical wave.
"Star God's Brilliant Annihilating Slash!"
And the world turned silent.
In front of the startled gaze of everyone, everything was divided into two! It looked like, in front of this slash, nothing stood and everything was divided: space, time, physics, air, everything!
Similarly, the domain was cleanly cut into two!
The silence lasted for a second before it was broken by a loud wind noise. The domain that was cut into two was further dispersed right and left followed by fast winds!
As the domain cleared, everyone could see clearly now.
In the center, Qingyue stood with wide trembling eyes. She stared at Cang Yue in front, stunned.
The sword in Cang Yue's hand broke before shattering into tiny pieces.
The place where the tip of her sword had touched, starting from there, going by Qingyue's side all the way back, cutting the profound protecting barrier into two and magically stopping before hitting the audience; everything was cut and a huge ravine appeared!
"... Did Yun Che teach you this?" Releasing the breath which she was holding unconsciously, Qingyue softly asked.
"Yes."
"I see…" Qingyue closed her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking, but when she opened her eyes, she loudly declared, "I lost."
"Sister Qingyue…"
Without waiting to listen to what Cang Yue had to say, Qingyue simply vanished, leaving behind the still silly stunned audience and Cang Yue, who looked towards Yun Che just to find him bitterly smiling.
Seeing this, she sighed.
It seemed that she hurt her sister's pride really badly.
