The Fairy of Beauty's rage instantly overwhelmed her mind.
"Bitch, I will kill you!"
As she spoke, she rushed at Zi Linling like a shrew.
Spiritual energy surged within her, but she used no weapons or spiritual arts.
Instead, she directly turned her palms into claws and grabbed for Zi Linling's hair.
That's right, her hair.
It was quite like a shrew brawling with someone.
Zi Linling smiled faintly, with a hint of disdain.
She executed the Phantom Dragon Step, easily dodging the attacking claws.
Then she sarcastically remarked, "Fairy of Beauty? Heh! You shrewish creature, how can you possibly be worthy of the title 'Fairy'?"
Mo Qingcheng's rage intensified, "Bitch, who are you calling a shrew?"
Her actions did not stop. She then lunged for Zi Linling's face.
Why should she be disfigured while Zi Linling still possessed such a beautiful face?
Since Zi Linling had exposed her disfigurement, she would make Zi Linling taste the bitterness of being disfigured as well.
Jealousy!
Mo Qingcheng's mind was blinded by jealousy. Every move was aimed at Zi Linling's face.
A chilling aura emanated from Zi Linling.
She had expected Mo Qingcheng to go mad, but she hadn't anticipated her to be so venomous as to want to disfigure her.
There is no courtesy without reciprocity!
Since Mo Qingcheng sought death, why should she hold back?
Her Phantom Dragon Step shifted constantly, quickly creating distance between her and Mo Qingcheng.
"Fire Spirit Burst!"
This was a spiritual skill she had modified from "Wood Spirit Burst," ranked as a top-grade Yellow tier.
The original "Wood Spirit Burst" was merely a spiritual art. Although its power was comparable to a low-grade Yellow tier spiritual skill, it remained a spiritual art.
However, Zi Linling had incorporated a trace of the power of law into it, thus transforming "Wood Spirit Burst" into a true spiritual skill – a top-grade Yellow tier spiritual skill!
Subsequently, through continuous refinement, she modified Fire, Water, Earth, and Metal elemental spiritual powers in the same manner.
Thus, "Fire Spirit Burst," "Water Spirit Burst," "Earth Spirit Burst," and "Metal Spirit Burst" came into being.
She had initially intended to fuse them into "Five Spirit Burst," but after several attempts, they all ended in failure.
After all, achieving balance between different spiritual powers was not easy.
At this moment, Zi Linling used "Fire Spirit Burst" instead of others because her objective was to burn off Mo Qingcheng's cloak.
Hmph! Whoever tries to disfigure her, she would strip them of their face!
Mo Qingcheng only felt figures flashing before her, unable to distinguish the true body from afterimages.
Since she couldn't distinguish them, she wouldn't.
As long as her speed was fast enough, what difference would afterimages make from the real body?
Of course, this was assuming her speed could surpass Zi Linling's.
But the Phantom Dragon Step, which subtly incorporated the profundity of the先天八卦 (Xiantian Bagua - Early Heaven Eight Trigrams), could not be matched by ordinary people's speed.
Therefore, when Mo Qingcheng shattered all the afterimages before her, she realized that Zi Linling had already created distance.
But before she could pursue, a massive ball of fire elemental energy flew towards her.
Simultaneously, Zi Linling's cool voice echoed in her ears—"Fire Spirit Burst!"
"Not good!"
Mo Qingcheng cursed inwardly, but it was too late to dodge. She could only mobilize all her spiritual energy to forcefully resist the attack.
If this were an ordinary fire elemental energy ball, with her current cultivation, resisting it would pose no problem. She wouldn't even sustain a minor injury.
But "Fire Spirit Burst" was not only a top-grade Yellow tier spiritual skill, but also a top-grade Yellow tier spiritual skill infused with a wisp of the power of law.
Therefore, Mo Qingcheng was doomed.
The energy generated by "Fire Spirit Burst" effortlessly pierced through her defense and landed upon her.
"Pfft!"
Mo Qingcheng spat out a mouthful of blood, severely injured.
But she had no time to examine her injuries, because a flame leaped onto her cloak.
The cloak instantly ignited and rapidly burned to ashes.
"No!"
Mo Qingcheng shrieked in terror.
She discovered that with her top-grade Earth tier fire spirit root's ability to control fire elemental energy, she was somehow unable to control this flame.
And this flame was peculiar; it only burned her cloak, not her body.
This was the most terrifying part.
It demonstrated the incredible precision of Zi Linling's control over flames!
Once the cloak was completely burned, Mo Qingcheng's hideous visage would be exposed to the open sky.
This was something she absolutely could not accept.
Zi Linling's move was extremely insidious, striking at the very heart of Mo Qingcheng.
The ultimate way to kill someone is to strike at their heart.
In this contest of jealousy versus counter-jealousy, Mo Qingcheng had lost miserably.
Soon, the flames consumed the cloak entirely.
And the moment the cloak turned into flying ashes, the flame completed its mission and dissipated into the air.
Mo Qingcheng's hideous appearance was exposed to the eyes of the crowd, eliciting a chorus of retching sounds.
"Damn! How can anyone be this ugly? Ugh..."
"Isn't it? Ugh... You've made me puke up my dinner, ugh..."
"My eyes! My eyes! Ugh..."
"Whoever dares to call themselves the Fairy of Beauty again, I'll beat them so badly their grandma won't recognize them, ugh..."
...
The rising tide of mockery assailed Mo Qingcheng's nerves, driving her to complete madness.
"Bitch, I will tear you into a thousand pieces!"
Zi Linling frowned.
Although she knew Mo Qingcheng was disfigured, she hadn't expected it to be so thorough, so ugly, so repulsive.
Mo Qingcheng's body seethed with demonic energy as she bellowed, "Omnipotent Demon Lord, I willingly offer my soul as sacrifice to you! Please help me kill this bitch!"
Within her body, Yue Wudi's brow furrowed.
Although he controlled Mo Qingcheng's soul, he only controlled her life and death through it.
This was because the transaction between Mo Qingcheng and him was precisely that.
Mo Qingcheng surrendered her life, and he made her powerful.
But now, Mo Qingcheng was offering her soul as a sacrifice!
After all, sacrificing one's soul meant becoming a demon, completely turning into the Demon Lord's slave.
And when a demon slave died, their soul would be scattered, never to reincarnate.
But at this moment, Yue Wudi hesitated.
If it had been before, he would have accepted Mo Qingcheng's soul without hesitation and killed Zi Linling for her.
But now, he could not act.
Therefore, he was unqualified to accept Mo Qingcheng's soul.
Unless he was willing to risk annihilation by lightning tribulation.
But was Mo Qingcheng worth it?
Sensing Yue Wudi's hesitation, Mo Qingcheng sneered, "Aren't you the Omnipotent Demon Lord? Didn't you covet my soul long ago? Hmph! When I was unwilling, you schemed and plotted to get it. Now that I'm willing, why are you hesitating?"
Yue Wudi remained silent.
He was weighing whether Mo Qingcheng was worth his risking his life!
Feeling Yue Wudi's continued hesitation, Mo Qingcheng laughed hysterically.
"Hahaha... Omnipotent Demon Lord?"
