Chapter 816: Cripple

Queen Ji Yu let out a shrill scream almost immediately, saying, "No! Stop!"

Her figure flashed, and she subconsciously rushed forward.

However, before she could even get close to the No. 10 Arena.

Ye Wudao's raised foot suddenly pressed down!

Bang!

A dull, explosive sound immediately came from Princess Ji Ruxue's lower abdomen.

"Haa…"

Princess Ji Ruxue's body arched violently, struggling frantically like a shrimp thrown onto the shore, while a painful screech that didn't sound human issued from her shattered throat.

However, no matter how she struggled, her Dantian was already shattered.

The aura on her body dissipated rapidly, like a deflated balloon.

In an instant, her aura plummeted frantically from the ninth level of the Tongyou Realm, eventually falling to the point where there was no cultivation fluctuation at all!

The dignified Eldest Princess of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, right before everyone's eyes, had become a cripple with no cultivation!

Dantian destroyed, cultivation crippled.

For a Cultivator, this was a hundred times crueler than killing her!

Especially for a powerhouse like Venerable Vermilion Bird, who had once reached the Saint Spirit Realm and stood high above, this situation was a complete fall from the clouds into the mud!

This psychological gap was enough to drive someone insane!

"Ugh, ahh…"

Princess Ji Ruxue rolled frantically on the ground, and tears actually fell from those eyes that had been filled with resentment when looking at Ye Wudao!

She hadn't cried when she was no match for Ye Wudao just now, nor had she cried when she was being retaliated against by Ye Wudao.

It wasn't until now, when her cultivation was completely lost, that she finally cried!

Under the arena.

"Ahh! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

Queen Ji Yu's hair bristled with rage, Spiritual Qi surged wildly around her, and her long hair fluttered without wind.

But in the end, she did not impulsively rush over to attack the arena's Formation.

And on the entire White Jade Plaza, only this voice remained at this moment.

Everyone else who saw this scene was silent, not making a sound.

Those young Cultivators with lower cultivation than Ye Wudao even subconsciously held their breath, not daring to let out a sigh!

Too ruthless!

Ye Wudao was truly too ruthless!

This was simply a living King of Hell!

Elder Yin Changhong looked at Ye Wudao, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

In his eyes, there was gratification and pride, but more than that, there was worry.

Although Ye Wudao had become famous in one battle today and completely intimidated those petty people, he had also pushed himself into the limelight.

The exposure of that strange nine-story pagoda, and this deadly feud formed with the Vermilion Bird Kingdom…

All these circumstances meant that the road ahead for Ye Wudao would likely be extremely difficult.

"This kid…"

Elder Yin Changhong sighed, but he also knew that since things had reached this point, there was no point in saying more.

The only thing he could do now was to do his best to protect Ye Wudao, this Person of Heavenly Destiny!

Yue Liuli, who had mostly recovered, looked at Ye Wudao, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with what Ye Wudao did.

On the contrary, seeing Ye Wudao take revenge for her with her own eyes, Yue Liuli's heart was even filled with sweetness and satisfaction.

However, Yue Liuli was satisfied, but Ye Wudao on the arena was not.

Watching Princess Ji Ruxue rolling on the ground like a pile of mud, the killing intent in Ye Wudao's eyes had not dissipated much at all.

Before the Prodigy Ranking Tournament, he didn't feel that he had any great feud with Princess Ji Ruxue.

When they were competing for the Crimson Flame Heavenly Tiger cub and the vermilion bird origin crystal, Princess Ji Ruxue had failed because her skills were inferior, and if she wanted revenge, Ye Wudao would definitely accept it.

But she shouldn't have, she absolutely shouldn't have, set her sights on Senior Sister!

Thinking of Senior Sister's severely wounded and dying state just now, thick killing intent couldn't help but rise in Ye Wudao's heart.

His eyes flickered, his palm lifted slightly, and he wanted to continue, to completely kill Princess Ji Ruxue on the arena.

But at this moment.

"Enough!"

In mid-air, Venerable Tianji, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, finally spoke.

His voice was not loud, but it carried a warning tone, saying:

"She has already been defeated, and her cultivation has already been crippled by you."

"One should forgive when possible; do not do things that you will regret!"

Venerable Tianji did indeed harbor greed for Ye Wudao's little pagoda and wanted to take the opportunity to attack.

But for him, there would be many more opportunities to get the pagoda.

However, if Ye Wudao violated the rules and killed someone right under his nose, at the Prodigy Ranking Tournament he controlled, that would be a complete provocation of his dignity.

Venerable Tianji still had to preside over the Prodigy Ranking Tournament in the future, so of course he wouldn't allow anyone to continue provoking him like this.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wudao stopped the movement of his palm, which he had been about to raise.

He looked up at Venerable Tianji, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak.

He certainly knew that Venerable Tianji's warning was not out of kindness, but for his own dignity and status.

But these words from Venerable Tianji were enough for Ye Wudao to calm down.

He had exposed the hongmeng pagoda and had already become the target of public criticism.

If he killed Princess Ji Ruxue in public again, it would be equivalent to giving those jealous forces an excuse to openly encircle and suppress him.

Ye Wudao absolutely could not let himself fall into such a situation.

Moreover, it was simply too cost-ineffective to put himself into a desperate situation for a cripple!

But if he just let Princess Ji Ruxue go like this, how could Ye Wudao be reconciled?

His eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly lowered his head, continuing to look down at Princess Ji Ruxue.

After quietly appreciating Princess Ji Ruxue's miserable state.

Ye Wudao suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Princess Ji Ruxue's hair, pulled her hideous face close to his own, and sneered in a low voice:

"You should be grateful that this is the Prodigy Ranking Tournament, not the Starry Sky Battlefield."

"Therefore, you can still keep your dog life."

"Today, I will not kill you. I think that as a cripple, your future days will surely be extremely smooth!"

His voice was not loud, and there was even a smile on his face.

But anyone could see what his smile really meant.

After saying this, Ye Wudao seemed to have given up, directly raising his hand and grabbing at Princess Ji Ruxue's neck.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

A thumb-length burning crimson flame was forcibly squeezed out from Princess Ji Ruxue's throat.

This flame was exactly the Mystic Heart Flame that Ye Wudao had just used to destroy Princess Ji Ruxue's throat so she couldn't beg for mercy.

Now that he had decided to end it all, of course, he had to take back the Mystic Heart Flame.

But in fact, although Ye Wudao had taken back the Mystic Heart Flame, he hadn't taken it all back.

Instead, he left a wisp of the Mystic Heart Flame hidden inside Princess Ji Ruxue's body.

Thanks to his training during this period, Ye Wudao's control over the Mystic Heart Flame had reached the pinnacle.

This wisp of the Mystic Heart Flame in Princess Ji Ruxue's body could not be easily discovered, even by a Saint Spirit Realm powerhouse!
