"Hmph, I have no choice… Forest Mist!"

The princess muttered as water droplets rose into the air before exploding into mists which spread all over the princess from every angle before spreading about 5 meters in every direction;

​​

The moment the mists stop spreading, a figure tore through it with insane speed, and the moment the figure entered the edge of the mist, the princess sensed instantly;

"Disemboweling Claws!"

"Tsunami Wall!"

The duo both launched their techniques almost simultaneously, with the princess being a split second faster;

A massive wall of water that was about three meters thick gushed out of thin air as the beast claws made of Qi from the scar faced man smashed into the wall of water;

Boom!

The water exploded as the claw and the man literally bolted and tore through the wall of water before appearing on the other side where the princess was waiting for him;

"Water God Art; Illusion Style - Mazu's Shield!"

Water gathered in front of the princess' arm, before transforming into a round shield, which she tilted towards the incoming scar faced man, and the moment the man's image appeared on the mirror, this replica actually jumped out of the reflective shield and attacked the man with the exact same type technique he was attacking with;

"Unh?"

The scar faced man was stunned but there was no way he could alter his move at this point, thus he simply pumped in more power and followed through; Bang! The man was stopped in his tracks, but the replica actually exploded into mist;

"What!?"

The man was shocked, the replica just now whom he had thought was a simple illusory image actually turned out to be real, with the only difference being the fact that it only possessed the strength of a 5 Star Saint Stage expert which by his prediction was the total battle prowess of the princess;

This then explained why the princess refused to defend it head on like she had done with his first attack…

But then he realized something strange…

The mist which was a result of the exploded replica simply stagnated and floated there, obstructing his view as he could no longer find the princess, but then he saw a shadow move to is right, and just as he tried to move, he almost tripped and fell;

"Shit, I'm spent… My Qi is almost exhausted…"

The scar faced man cursed beneath his breath, but just as he looked around to find the princess, her voice suddenly floated from outside the mist;

"Water God Art; Mist Style – Mazu's Prison!"

The entire area then began to vibrate as the scar faced man saw the mist around him transform into a massive cubic prison which completely trapped him on all sides with no escape route, and that was when he saw the princess floating just outside the prison with a large wall of water behind her;

Then she stretched her hands towards him and softly muttered;

"Water God Art; Execution Style…"

The moment the man heard the term execution, his heart raced madly as he tried to gather all the scrap of energy left in his body to defend his inevitable fate;

"Drowning Thirst!"

The princess added as the wall of water behind her roared towards the mist prison and flooded the entire place...

But strangely, instead of being drowned by the water entering his body, the water simply released a massive suction force, and every single fluid in the scar faced man's body saw the water within them drawn out, as the man gradually began to shrink and dry up, till he was nothing more than skin and bones…

With eyes wide and mouth agape, the scar face man's corpse dropped from the sky and fell to the ground before scattering in all directions; skull separate, legs apart, and arms in some distance away from the rest of the body…

"Stupid Pervert!"

The princess spat in disgust before looking toward Min Hong's battle, and it was at this exact moment, that Min Hong was blasted over 30 meters away by the combined attack from his three opponents earlier, and just as the princess tried to go assist him, she received a spiritual transmission from Min Hong;

"I've got this… Go assist the rest!"

She then reluctantly turned to Gong Yi who was currently battling Gu Ming's left hand man;

The duo were using no weapon of any kind and were simply throwing different unique divine abilities at one another, causing several explosions of massive proportions;

Kaboom!

Gong Yi's Flame Dao collided with his opponents Metal Dao, and because his Flame Dao was being boosted by the presence of Min Hong's Essence Level Rebirth Flame Dao, his Flame Dao saw a 100 percent increase....

Furthermore, because the Flame is also a natural counter against Metal, he also saw another 50 percent boost in damage, and finally due to the difference in level of comprehension and divine ability tier, Gong Yi who was a Peak Nascent Soul Stage expert was able to stand toe to toe with Gu Ming's left hand man who was called; Pan Jing…

Since it was a battle of the Daos, the only effect having a stronger cultivation base did was to determine who will last longer in battle, and the 95 percent surge in battle prowess which came from the 'Dawn Sovereign' bloodline was more than enough to make up for that difference…

Pan Jing was scared of using a weapon because Min Hong had just whipped out a Diamond Tier staff [Little Bing] earlier, and the princess had also done the same, and should he whip out his own Peak Gold Tier weapon and Gong Yi whips out a Diamond Tier weapon, he would simply be dooming himself…

Gong Yi on the other hand was scared of using his Low Grade Gold Tier weapon because he was sure that his opponent's weapon would at least be a Middle Grade Gold Tier weapon, and should that be the case, he would be shooting himself in the foot...

Then as a result of this train of thoughts, the duo found themselves using nothing other than their physical bodies, Qi and Daos, and based on this alone, Pan Jing found himself falling into a disadvantage as Gong Yi was naturally stronger than him in terms of Daos…

To further destroy Pan Jing's hope of winning, his second strongest Dao was Flame Dao, and as long as Min Hong was still within a 15 mile radius of him, the only type of flame he would be summoning would be weaker than even that of a matchstick, if it even manage to light up that is…

Furthermore, Pan Jing's last Dao was still a Concept Level Water Dao which the Princess who has the same Dao but at Peak Law Level had managed to subdue, and he was also sure that any other type of Dao Gong Yi was willing to whip out would definitely be in the Intent Level;

After all from the cloak his opponent was wearing, he could vividly see that Gong Yi was a core court disciple from one of the top five strongest sect in the Dogon Empire which was popular for its insane military prowess, adult experts, and young talents…

Kaboom!

Another explosion ensued, and once the princess noticed that Gong Yi was gaining more advantage with time, she knew that the battle between both of them would soon come to an end, and thus, she looked to another battle ground to find anyone else she could help…

And just as she had predicted, Gong Yi soon handicapped his opponent;

"Flame Flood!"

He bellowed as streams of searing hot flames gushed out of his sleeves towards Pan Jing;

"Golden Core Gate!"

Instantly metal bars began to erupt from the ground at rapid speed, stacking upon one another and in the blink of an eye, a massive gate with a golden orb at its center stood erect in front of Pan Jing; Bang!

Gong Yi's flood of flames slammed into the gate which vibrated intensely as the rippling effects of the vibration began to disperse the flames in every direction whilst the gold core at its center began to absorb some power from the flames to power and renew the gate's rapidly decreasing durability...

But after enduring for long enough, the gate broke apart as the flood of flames surged in and buried Pan Jing who couldn't escape in time and was scorched mercilessly;

After being scorched for about two breaths, Pan Jing finally managed to escape from the flame range…

The princess looked over to another battle ground where Tong Tian was currently using his opponent to familiarize himself with his new weapon spirit with the intention of making the bond between them more passive than him actually needing to control it…

His weapon was a Low Grade Gold Tier Weapon, but the moment its weapon spirit came alive during his first battle with Min Hong at the War God Trials, Tong Tian had been looking to get into a smoother battle partnership with his sentient weapon which was now equivalent to a High Grade Gold Tier staff…

Tong Tian previously had a 1 Star Saint Stage battle prowess when he during the War God Trials, but after he sparred with Min Hong and had a breakthrough into the 4 Star Awakening Stage, his battle prowess had climbed by one more stage, landing him in the 2 Star Saint Stage level which was equal to his opponent…

Despite this, Tong Tian would have been at a disadvantage due to having fewer and weaker Daos compared to his opponent and the fact that he also wielded a weaker weapon...

But that was nullified by the Cultivation and Dao surge which was caused by Min Hong's Fifth Plane Law Level Metal Dao which coincidentally was the strongest in the battlefield, and 'Dawn Sovereign' bloodline effects, and as a result, Tong Tian was able to stand toe to toe with the expert;

Thus, the battle came down to who could last longer in battle, and with Tong Tian being a body cultivator, the opponent was simply fighting a losing battle, and thus the princess looked elsewhere…
