Chapter 1553: Chapter 88: The Wang Family Sweeps the Immortal Dynasty! Great Winds Arise (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_4

Zhang Huaibing’s heart surged with shock.

Despite not specializing in cultivating a War Body, his physique—empowered by his talent and Bloodline—was far superior to that of ordinary Purple Abode Realm cultivators. Yet even he had been flung away by the blow. If one of the other disciples from the Immortal Palace were on the receiving end of this punch, they would likely have suffered tremendously.

Having experienced a covert setback once, he dared not clash directly with her again. Instead, he began to employ an extraordinary movement technique and skillful Mysterious Techniques, engaging in constant maneuvering and evasion.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid deafening reverberations, the two exchanged twenty to thirty moves in rapid succession, with no clear victor emerging.

However, what left Zhang Huaibing deeply unsettled was that Wang Licui resembled an ancient Fierce Beast with boundless brute strength. Every punch and kick carried terrifying power that showed no signs of diminishing.

No, continuing to fight like this will only lead to being dragged into exhaustion.

Only a decisive move will do.

Zhang Huaibing’s eyes sharpened.

Suddenly, a piercing phoenix cry echoed.

Amid the phoenix’s resonating cry, a towering Ice Phoenix Illusion materialized behind him.

An overwhelming pressure radiated outward.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to be swallowed by a storm of snow and wind; layers of frost crystallized across the arena as the surrounding temperature plummeted dramatically.

Simultaneously, a Divine Seal appeared abruptly at the center of Zhang Huaibing’s brow.

The power of the Divine Skills spread forth.

In the boundless heavens above.

Snow and frost transformed into razor-sharp ice spikes and blades, sweeping down upon Wang Licui with devastating momentum. Swift as the wind, they carried an indescribable storm-like chill and an overwhelming aura of power.

This technique was Zhang Huaibing’s ultimate move—a Divine Skill known as [Ice Knife Wan Guy].

"Impressive strike!"

Wang Licui grew increasingly exhilarated as the fight progressed. Faced with her adversary’s ultimate attack, she was not alarmed but ecstatic. Laughing, she exclaimed, "This is perfect timing! I was getting overheated anyway—this will be like having ice pops to cool me down. Watch my ultimate Divine Skill—[Devour All Things]."

As her words fell.

A colossal Fierce Beast Illusion materialized behind her.

With its curved giant horns, robust claws, a grotesque form bristling with sharp teeth, and its monstrously bulging belly, the beast’s mere presence was enough to inspire dread in any onlooker.

As the illusion of the creature appeared, a torrent of ferocious energy erupted outward.

"Awooo!"

The Fierce Beast Illusion let out a thunderous roar, and a swirling black vortex suddenly manifested midair.

This vortex exuded an indescribable, immense pull. Neither sharp ice spikes nor frost blades could withstand the invisible force; they were all forcibly dragged into the vortex and vanished without a trace in mere moments.

Even Divine Sense was severed completely.

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Huaibing’s expression changed dramatically.

He was well-acquainted with Devouring Divine Skills; in the Sacred Land of Devour Heaven within the Immortal Palace, a few disciples specialized in cultivating such techniques.

But typical Devouring Divine Skills were nowhere near this terrifying!

Unfortunately, before he could analyze the situation further, Wang Licui charged forward once more, fists swinging. He could only snap his focus back and delve fully into defense.

If strictly compared by cultivation base, Zhang Huaibing’s level was a notch above Wang Licui’s. However, her Devouring Divine Skill, sourced from the Taotie Bloodline, operated on completely unfair terms.

Having reached the Purple Abode Realm, her Devouring Divine Skill had greatly amplified. Though it hadn’t yet evolved into the legendary "Devour Heaven, Consume Earth" status, it was already approaching "Swallow All Things."

The black vortex formed by the Taotie’s ferocity resembled a black hole; any attack that came before her was directly swallowed into its depths, converted into pure energy for her to absorb.

By the end of it, she even let out a contented burp.

Sensing despair, Zhang Huaibing faltered briefly. Even though he had numerous trump cards left unused, he began to feel that continuing the battle would inevitably lead to defeat.

Yet admitting defeat now would damage his reputation irreparably—the dilemma had him stuck in indecision. For now, he could only persist in skirmishing with her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two combatants clashed fiercely, with waves of energy rippling outward. The impact shook the flying carriages surrounding the square, and the massive flying creatures pulling those carriages trembled together in fright.

The commotion naturally drew the attention of several influential figures.

At this moment.

Within the clouds above the plaza at the Ascending Immortal Gate, several figures with imposing auras had already gathered.

These individuals, male and female alike, had distinct appearances yet shared a seemingly relaxed disposition. Sitting on the clouds, they leisurely snacked on sunflower seeds and other treats, their carefree demeanor highlighting their distant observation of the battle below. There was no telling how long they’d been present.

The misty clouds veiled their figures and obscured the perception of those below, leaving the lively crowd oblivious to their existence.

"This young lass is formidable~ That’s the legendary Taotie Bloodline. Even Zhang Huaibing can’t avoid taking a silent loss here," remarked a casually dressed middle-aged man nestled in the clouds. He popped sunflower seeds into his mouth as he praised the scene. "It’s a pity this girl doesn’t cultivate the Sword Dao; otherwise, she might’ve inherited my mantle."

The man was clad in simple azure robes, his hair styled into a daoist bun. His posture was relaxed, his movements natural, and even his method of cracking and eating sunflower seeds exuded effortless elegance.

If Jiqianqian were present, her eyes would surely widen in disbelief.

For this man was none other than her own Master—the master of the Purple Void Sacred Land and the realm’s famed [Purple Void Sword Monarch].

Hearing the Purple Void Sword Monarch’s remarks, an elderly man gnawing on a beast hoof nodded in agreement: "The Taotie Bloodline is indeed extraordinary, especially having grown to this degree—it’s truly remarkable. Such Bloodline Talent would be a rarity even in our Immortal Palace."
