"Please enlighten me!"
Tan Ziyan cupped his fists and bowed to Ji Yunyue.
Ji Yunyue raised her eyes to look at him, her gaze clear and cold. She slightly raised her jade hand in response.
Imperceptibly, Tan Ziyan felt a pressure.
As expected of the Saintess of the Witch God Hall!
"Hide!"
Tan Ziyan clasped his hands together, and a white mist immediately rose, enveloping him in an instant.
As the mist dissipated, Tan Ziyan also disappeared!
"Hmph, a mere trick." Shan Han Yi coldly sneered with disdain.
However, Tu Jintong and Feng Wujiang's eyes widened. Clearly, they could not track Tan Ziyan's movements at all.
This invisibility even concealed his shadow!
"Isn't the Tan family a Gu sect? When did they learn these strange witchcrafts from the Wu sect?"
Guan Ya asked curiously, knowing little about the hierarchy within the Witchcraft and Gu world.
Ling Feng did not reply, as he was not very clear either.
However, it was evident that this Tan Ziyan possessed some ability.
"I didn't expect this Tan Zifang to have some skill!"
"To reach the top eight, he can't be an insignificant figure!"
Many people in the audience exclaimed in surprise again.
On the other hand, Ji Yunyue on the stage showed no change in her expression, even closing her beautiful eyes.
Just as everyone was puzzled, she waved her jade hand, and a dazzling white light scattered out. It turned out to be numerous Gu insects with flapping white wings, their tips also flashing with white light, more beautiful than fireflies.
"What kind of Gu insects are these?"
"I don't know. I've participated in so many Witchcraft and Gu Conventions, and this is the first time I've seen such Gu insects. They're so beautiful!"
"Heh heh, how can we casually guess the methods of the Witch God Hall, let alone this is the Gu technique performed by the Saintess!"
Even though Ji Yunyue was cold and aloof, keeping others at a distance, she always had plenty of supporters!
Who wouldn't admire someone with both beauty and strength!
Praise echoed all around.
However, Shan Han Yi's heart sank.
The gap!
It was only after Ji Yunyue made her move this time that Shan Han Yi realized the gap between himself and her.
Witchcraft and Gu practitioners, by circulating their internal true qi and blood, would generate subtle fluctuations in their aura.
Based on these aura fluctuations alone, one could judge the opponent's strength.
Shan Han Yi vaguely sensed that Ji Yunyue's cultivation was indeed not low, and even higher than his own!
"Having high cultivation is useless. The Witch God Hall has only cultivated you, Ji Yunyue, in all these years! If I can defeat you, the banner of the Witch God Hall will surely cheer for my Shan family in the future!"
After a brief moment of shock, Shan Han Yi quickly adjusted his mindset. His desire grew more intense, and his gaze upon Ji Yunyue became even more fervent.
Meanwhile, the white light Gu insects on the stage spread rapidly, quickly filling the entire arena.
Yet, there was still no sign of Tan Ziyan, as if he had vanished into thin air.
Whoosh!
Two poisoned needles shot through the air from above and behind Ji Yunyue.
Ji Yunyue slightly opened her beautiful eyes, proudly waved her jade arm, and flicked her jade fingers, sending the two poisoned needles flying back!
Huh!
A muffled sound was heard, and the invisible Tan Ziyan suddenly revealed himself, with a pair of wings growing behind him.
"Life Gu technique!"
Someone exclaimed in shock.
Tan Ziyan's appearance had changed drastically, like a monster. Not only did he have wings growing from his back, but his hands and feet had also sprouted sharp claws!
This clearly indicated that he had cultivated the extremely difficult Life Gu technique, which allowed him to integrate some of the abilities of his Life Gu into himself!
Shan Han Yi's eyes suddenly lit up: "This kid's Life Gu is actually the Golden Cicada Gu! Very good, but exposing it at this moment means the Tan family is in danger!"
The Golden Cicada Gu was a Gu insect with extremely tenacious vitality. Although it ranked last among the top ten Gu insects, it was still extremely rare!
Shan Han Yi had always wanted to obtain a Golden Cicada Gu to raise and use for himself.
Hearing the exclamations around him, Tan Ziyan's expression changed drastically. Without time to think, he pulled out the poisoned needle from his chest and spat out a large amount of scorching viscous fluid!
That viscous fluid was highly corrosive, and anyone contaminated by it would be either dead or severely injured!
Ji Yunyue glanced coldly, her toes gently touching the ground, and she floated upwards like a descending fairy. She waved her jade arm again, and a ribbon shot out from her sleeve.
In an instant, it coiled around Tan Ziyan's body!
"Ah! Let go of me!" Tan Ziyan cried out in pain.
The seemingly soft ribbon twisted his body, threatening to shatter his chest bones!
"Down!"
Ji Yunyue commanded with a proud shout, and with a slight flick of her wrist!
Crack!
Tan Ziyan was slammed heavily off the stage, covered in blood, his life uncertain!
However, the ribbon, without a speck of blood on it, swiftly returned to Ji Yunyue's sleeve.
"Saintess wins!"
The Great Elder announced the result in a loud voice.
The Saintess of the Witch God Hall was the first to enter the top four, advancing to the finals!
Pfft!
Where the viscous fluid had splattered earlier, a pungent smoke emerged, directly corroding a large pit in the arena!
Gasp!
Everyone drew a sharp breath!
It wasn't that Tan Ziyan was weak, but that the Saintess was too powerful!
If anyone else had encountered her, they would have been defeated before even seeing Tan Ziyan's figure.
"Wow, as expected of the Saintess. If I had to face her, I would have to stop here!"
Guan Ya sighed deeply, then shook his head: "Never mind, no more thinking about it. I'll defeat Tu Jintong first!"
Ling Feng couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. It seemed Guan Ya still hadn't taken his words to heart!
With Guan Ya's strength, he was sure to win against Tu Jintong!
The second match, Shan Han Yi versus the mysterious girl!
"Miss, I don't like fighting women. If you concede now, I can let you step down!"
Shan Han Yi strode onto the stage, standing proudly to the side, speaking casually to the mysterious girl.
However, the mysterious girl paid no heed. She directly grabbed the gauze clothing around her and, under everyone's expectant gaze, pulled it forcefully!
Light gauze fluttered, revealing the graceful figure hidden beneath.
However, this attire was a bit too plain and simple.
Shan Han Yi had also been somewhat expectant of the girl's appearance. But as the bamboo hat and gauze fell, the mysterious girl's veil did not drop. Vaguely, only an exquisite outline could be seen.
The mysterious girl took a step forward, and the aura around her instantly surged, drawing the attention of the entire audience!
