C105 If He Was Wrong He Would Have to Pay the Price!(2)
Upon hearing Woo Zhengyang's words, Lyi Huamei's expression shifted, but she quickly turned her anger into a smile. "I didn't expect you to find out! But what can you do? Even if you tell someone, no one will believe you. Besides, you won't get the chance to tell anyone."
"It seems Zhongli Huo couldn't get the Ice Crystal Fire Grass himself last year, so he sent you to deal with me this year. The so-called Outer Sect Number One Madman isn't much after all. Once I return, he'll have to step down," Woo Zhengyang replied.
"You're still so arrogant even when you're on the brink of defeat. You truly live up to being the Profound Heaven Sect's Outer Sect Number One Madman! Unlike those fools like Yue Liqing, I never underestimate my opponents. If I make a move against you, I've planned it thoroughly."
"Was it that talisman just now?"
"That's right. That talisman is a Blood Purification Talisman I exchanged for a large number of contribution points!"
The Blood Purification Talisman is indeed valuable, as it purifies impurities from the flesh, making a cultivator more attuned to the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. However, for Woo Zhengyang, it's a double-edged sword. During blood purification, a cultivator's energy is at its calmest, which is fine for those refining their veins, but it significantly weakens a Body Tempering cultivator who relies on their blood energy.
"It seems you've really gone all out for me, even using such a precious item! I'll be sure to thank you for your kindness, and I'll also express my gratitude to Zhongli Huo when I return," Woo Zhengyang's voice grew colder.
“Ha ha... You still thinking about going back?” Lyi Huamei said with a hint of skepticism.
Even though Woo Zhengyang was making waves in the outer sect, she remained confident in herself. It was only because Zhongli Huo wanted to ensure everything went smoothly that he had her use the Vitality Purification Talisman.
Without the power of vitality, she couldn't fathom why Woo Zhengyang was so confident.
“Of course!”
As Woo Zhengyang spoke, he stepped forward and swung a punch at Lyi Huamei.
“You...”
Seeing Woo Zhengyang's punch create a gust of wind, Lyi Huamei was momentarily stunned. However, as the second-ranked disciple in the outer sect, she wasn't just for show. She quickly regained her composure, moving back to dodge while drawing a long sword from her Hidden Heaven Bag.
To her surprise, Woo Zhengyang's speed was beyond her expectations, and she couldn't dodge in time!
“Bam...”
Woo Zhengyang's fist landed hard on Lyi Huamei's face. No matter how beautiful she was, a punch from Woo Zhengyang left her face a bloody mess.
At that moment, Woo Zhengyang felt a deep-seated aversion towards Lyi Huamei and didn't even use his Profound Heavy Power. She was sent flying.
“What’s going on... How are you not restrained by the power of vitality... and why aren't you affected by the power of ice and fire...”
Lyi Huamei struggled to her feet, just as the searing heat gave way to a chilling cold. Her face, battered and bloody, was now covered with a layer of frost, making her look quite terrifying. But at this moment, she couldn't afford to care about her appearance. Woo Zhengyang's punch had been far more powerful than she had anticipated.
In such a peculiar environment, with her energy restricted, Woo Zhengyang should have been significantly weakened. Although she also had to resist the surrounding ice and fire forces, she thought she could easily handle him. However, the reality was the opposite. Woo Zhengyang's strength seemed almost unaffected, and even the ice and fire forces appeared to have no impact on him. This made him more than capable of overpowering her.
"I may be restricted in my energy, but I still have my true energy!" Woo Zhengyang declared, stepping toward Lyi Huamei.
"Body tempering and energy cultivation at the same time... in such a short period... how is this possible..." Lyi Huamei was in disbelief. Woo Zhengyang's progress in body tempering was beyond anyone's imagination, and now she realized his energy cultivation was equally strong. This revelation was a severe shock to her.
Ignoring Lyi Huamei's astonishment, Woo Zhengyang continued, "As for the limitations of the ice and fire forces, I should thank you for that. You led me into the Ice Fire Mystic Realm, allowing me to become the Ice Crystal Fire Body!"
"What! The Ice Crystal Fire Body! This can't be... it absolutely can't be..." Lyi Huamei felt like she was losing her mind, her thoughts in complete disarray.
The Ice Crystal Fire Body—can it really be acquired after birth? If it can't, then how did I witness him struggling before entering the Ice Fire Mystic Realm, only to see him now, completely unaffected by the forces of ice and fire? What Woo Zhengyang said must be true.
Body tempering and energy cultivation, combined with the Ice Crystal Fire Body. Each one is a rare and extraordinary existence, yet Woo Zhengyang embodies them all. And from what Woo Zhengyang implied, it seems I played a part in making this happen. Lyi Huamei felt a suffocating frustration.
"I was wrong... Woo, my junior, your future is limitless. Please, don't hold this against me. It was all Zhongli Huo's doing. He wanted the Ice Crystal Fire Grass and feared you'd take his top spot. I was just coerced by him. If you spare me, I'll help you take him down and serve you wholeheartedly. I'll do whatever you say."
"You were indeed wrong, and mistakes have consequences!"
Woo Zhengyang had already stepped in front of Lyi Huamei and brought his foot down!
