Chapter 440: Liu Mei's advancement
Xie Xingyi was startled after seeing Liu Mei suddenly standing up from her seat, but when she noticed the token with the number '83' in her hands, her expression turned solemn. Looking at the beautiful young woman whose face was still covered by a white veil, Xie Xingyi then said with a serious look
''Mei, be careful!''
Although Xie Xingyi already knew that Liu Mei was extremely strong herself, and she had also witnessed first-hand the unbelievable rise in her cultivation during the last 10 days, she was still worried about her upcoming fight.
After all, even if they had their cultivation restricted at the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul, whether it was their weapons or their martial skills, the disciples of the Holy sect differed greatly from each other.
Some of them were stronger while some of them were weaker than others.
This was obvious by the fact that some of them had 'average' rank 3 gold grade weapons, while others had peak rank 3 gold grade ones.
If Liu Mei ended up fighting someone extremely strong, Xie Xingyi was afraid that not only would she not win, but she may even be injured in the process. Although it was clear that the Holy sect wouldn't allow any deaths to happen during this fourth test, staying alive didn't mean that all your injuries would be healed.
An example was the disciple that had fought against Sheng Huang earlier.
Even after consuming a top-grade rank 5 healing pill, his injuries still hadn't healed completely.
Nodding her head, Liu Mei stood up and flew directly towards the center of the arena.
At that moment, Shun Long's eyes immediately lit up as he saw Liu Mei's familiar figure with her face hidden behind a white veil flying towards the arena, while at the same time a smile slowly formed itself on his lips.
Although Shun Long was certain that Liu Mei was strong enough to protect herself during the Holy sect's test, in the end, before they had entered the first test, the 2 of them were still at the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm.
Fighting against disciples who were already at the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul was practically impossible for Liu Mei, unless she was willing to consume the rank 5 'Blood Ignition pill'.
And yet, even if is she consumed the pill, Shun Long knew that there would still be dangers for her. Even if Liu Mei managed to defeat a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, she would still have to spend at least 15 days if not an entire month recovering from the aftereffects of the 'Blood Ignition pill'. During that time, she would be helpless if anyone attacked her.
However, what made Shun Long feel happiness and relief, was that not only was Liu Mei completely unharmed, but her cultivation had also sky-rocketed during this time.
She had actually already reached the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul!
Of course, what Shun Long didn't know was that during the last 10 days that she and Xie Xingyi had gone into hiding, Liu Mei had already absorbed 90 percent of the qi from the 3 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts that she had killed during the third test.
After her 'Blood Absorption art' filtered the foul qi away, Liu Mei still had enough qi to advance all the way to the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul in one go!
Such a terrifying speed of advancement had caused Xie Xingyi to feel some fear in her heart!
After all, she had never seen anyone advance in their cultivation like that.
Cultivation was a slow process, and yet Liu Mei seemed to have extracted the qi directly out of the 3 peak rank 3 cultivators' bodies before she absorbed it all for herself!
Standing at the center of the arena, Liu Mei stared at her opponent a few meters away from her with a serious look in her eyes.
It was a young man in yellow robes with long black hair and deep brown eyes, while his face seemed to have a relaxed expression.
After noticing Liu Mei's cultivation at the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul, the young man from the Holy sect seemed to have heaved out a sigh of relief.
The disciples who had managed to pass the third test and were below the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul didn't number more than 30. Being lucky enough to fight against one of them was no different than getting a free win for a disciple of the Holy sect.
Even the disciples sitting in the audience seats didn't seem to be excited for this battle, let alone the disciples of the Holy sect in the sky.
At that moment, the young man from the Holy sect smiled at Liu Mei, before he took out a pair of rank 3 gold grade gloves from his spatial ring and put them on his hands.
His confident voice then resounded throughout the arena as he said with that same smile on his lips
''Let's get this over with.''
Without waiting for a reaction from Liu Mei, the long-haired young man immediately kicked the ground, running towards the white-robed young woman in front of him at full speed.
Although the look on his face was that of confidence and was no different than if he was looking down on her, he still didn't choose to underestimate Liu Mei, putting both the rank 3 gold grade gloves on his hands before they started to fight.
Nodding her head, Liu Mei didn't respond towards the yellow-robed young man's words, and instead, a black ball of qi appeared in her hands.
The moment that they sensed the ball filled with death qi appearing in the arena, the white-robed Dao Emperor Cao Ling, as well as the peak rank 9 Dao King Elder Zhuan, both turned their full attention towards the white-robed young woman at the center of the arena.
The young man from the Holy sect seemed to have sensed a feeling of lethal danger coming from the black ball of qi and instinctively wanted to step back and forcefully stop his attack.
He was afraid that Liu Mei was going to toss the ball of qi towards him once he got too close to her, causing him grave injuries in the process.
At the same time though, he also knew, that he had to take care of his opponent as quickly as possible and not allow her to do what she wanted. After a brief moment of pause, the young man gritted his teeth before he continued to fly towards Liu Mei at full speed.
However, contrary to his expectations, the yellow-robed young man noticed that Liu Mei didn't throw the ball that was filled with death qi towards him, and instead, she opened up her hands as she allowed it to fall on the ground.
A portal that resembled a black hole suddenly appeared on the ground, while an aura of decay and death erupted from the depths of the black hole!
At that moment, the enormous, bizarre, and sinister-looking body of the Death Eater slowly emerged from the black hole, bringing with it an aura of endless madness, hunger and killing intent, almost as if it wanted to devour everything in its sight.
The appearance of the gigantic beast that had 4 thick, black-colored legs that resembled horse hooves, and the hideous mouth on its torso with its bright white teeth, instantly brought shivers down to everyone who laid their eyes on it for the first time.
Even the white-robed Dao Emperor Cao Ling couldn't control the shocked expression from showing on his face.
However, this wasn't the end yet.
The scene that followed completely stunned everyone who stared at the center of the arena, including Xie Xingyi who already knew a bit about Liu Mei's powers, and even Shun Long who was sitting in the audience seats.
A thousand jade-white skeletons and 50 undead knights, at the early and middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul stage all followed after the Death Eater, as they quickly arranged themselves in front of Liu Mei.
And following behind the skeletons and the black-armored undead knights, were surprisingly 3 other 'cultivators' at the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul stage.
An old man in black robes, a middle-aged man with eyes that resembled a snake's and an old woman wearing a crimson armor, all arranged themselves around Liu Mei, as if they were all part of her undead army.
