Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 550: Battle with Nethermoon

At that moment, a ghostly blue spike silently appeared behind Mei Gongzi. Almost instantly, it sped forward like a flash of light, stabbing toward her waist.

This ghostly light appeared very abruptly, attacking even before the shadows from the other side had reached full expansion.

This caused the audience's hearts to jolt, but in the next moment, they saw Mei Gongzi's figure silently disappear under the attack of the Nethermoon Sting.

Yes, Mei Gongzi also vanished.

The ghostly blue spike flashed and disappeared. The Nethermoon Flower did not reveal herself on the stage after the failed attack. Instead, countless ghostly blue lights began to appear among the dense shadows, as if they were the eyes of countless terrifying entities lurking within the shadows, ready to devour anyone. The shadows spread rapidly, seemingly about to cover the entire stage.

At this moment, the sky suddenly brightened. Brilliant silver light illuminated the stage below, making the dense shadows look a bit brighter and more transparent.

There were silver gates of light in the sky, neatly arranged side by side. Within each gate, mysterious silver halos swirled like vortexes. And atop these gates, Mei Gongzi's figure reappeared.

In an instant, as if pulled in by the spatial gates in the air, the shadows below surged upward, carrying countless ghostly blue spikes, sweeping upwards to cover everything.

The silver gates of light swayed and twisted slightly. When the shadows rushed toward the gates with their chilling aura, they were silently vanquished. No matter how many shadows and ghostly blue lights attacked, they seemed to be swept into another world, disappearing without a trace, unable to leak out even a bit.

But at that moment, a ghostly blue shadow suddenly appeared behind Mei Gongzi once more. Vine-like branches spread out and countless blue flowers bloomed; spikes shot out from their stamens, blanketing the sky behind her.

Mei Gongzi's delicate figure vanished into the air like a popped soap bubble, causing the attack to miss. Meanwhile, the Nethermoon Stings that had pierced the spatial gates exploded, transforming into extreme yin energy that surged through the gates, causing them to disintegrate.

It was an extremely high-level clash; both competitors were using their bloodline powers to the fullest to pressure the opponent and maximize their own advantages.

One advantage that Mei Gongzi had was that her energy consumption was considerably lower than the Nethermoon Flower’s. At the same time, however, the latter’s extreme cold yin aura enveloped the entire arena. The yin energy was everywhere, and no matter where Mei Gongzi teleported within the field, she would be tainted by the extreme yin energy.

For a while, Mei Gongzi's figure kept flickering in the air, opening spatial gates to swallow the yin energy and Nethermoon Stings released by the Nethermoon Flower. On the other side, the ghostly blue shadows kept sweeping through, destroying the spatial gates, and the yin energy over the arena only grew colder and stronger.

They seemed to be in a stalemate.

Big Cat stood next to Tang San, watching the match. "I can't tell who's got the advantage right now. What do you say?"

Tang San shook his head. "It's hard to say, honestly. The Nethermoon Flower is very powerful. Although she doesn't have the fierce attack methods of the Scorching Sunflowers, her yin energy will invade you invisibly. If it’s not handled properly, being tainted by this yin energy will be a massive problem. It’s the kind of insidious poison that accumulates and gradually weakens the opponent. And since she's daring enough to use such a large-scale technique, she must have some kind of divine item that powers her. Otherwise, the consumption of this extreme yin energy would be enormous.

"Little Mei is using the teleportation ability of the spatial gates to transfer this yin energy out, continuously consuming her opponent's bloodline power. Even with a divine artifact enhancing it, bloodline power has its limits. Every bit of yin energy consumed is one less bit she has. Both are looking for opportunities in this stalemate to deliver a fatal blow. Little Mei's spatial attribute, in a sense, prevails over these extreme attributes. No matter what kind of attribute it is, the result is the same when faced with spatial changes.

"In other words, from the looks of it, Little Mei still holds the upper hand. She also has a divine artifact, and her Celestial Plume has never fully unleashed its true power. I don’t believe it’s just about enhancing spatial control. After all, this is the heirloom treasure of the Peacock Demon clan, which once produced a Demon Emperor."

Big Cat laughed. "Your relationship sure is progressing, you weren’t calling her Little Mei last time. They say love makes you lose clarity, but you're seeing things clearly."

Tang San smiled slightly in response. "It's precisely because I care that I must see things clearly."

As they spoke, the battle in the arena became more intense. The dense shadows had gradually turned light blue, with countless ghostly lights surging upward.

The Nethermoon Flower's true form did not reappear, while the gates of light in the air began to change. More spatial rifts appeared, and the overlapping spatial rifts collided fiercely with the dense shadows. The spatial gates swallowed the shadows and teleported them who knew where, while the shadows erupted to obliterate the spatial rifts. It seemed that both sides had entered a contest of bloodline energy.

Mei Gongzi continued to hover in the air above the center of the stage, with the Celestial Plume in her hand constantly emitting silvery glimmers, causing spatial rifts to bloom in the air. It was as if she had created a forbidden zone in the sky, impervious to the surging cold aura.

Through this method, she minimized the influence of the extreme yin energy. However, she did not press downward; the spatial rifts would dissipate after reaching a certain height due to the continuous impact. The stalemate persisted.

Mei Gongzi remained calm and composed, her long dress fluttering. She looked like a fairy amidst the silver light.

The yin energy below continuously consumed but quickly gathered again, seemingly endless.

Surrounded by silver light, Mei Gongzi seemed to have entered a special state. Spatial energy gathered from all directions and flowed according to her will, manifesting as spatial gates or rifts, blocking the surging yin energy. She seemed determined to exhaust her opponent, banking on the fact that the latter’s bloodline energy would be consumed first.

As Tang San had predicted, Mei Gongzi had the upper hand in terms of consumption. Her spatial attribute used teleportation rather than absorption, so she didn't need to counteract or process the yin energy within her own body. On the other hand, her opponent, the Nethermoon Flower, had to use extreme yin energy to break the spatial gates. This was an explosive method that required plenty of energy under any circumstances, and even more so considering that a large part of the yin energy was teleported away and only the leftovers clashed with the gates and rifts.

In this war of attrition, the Nethermoon Flower Nymph was at a disadvantage. Furthermore, the spatial rifts prevented the yin energy from reaching Mei Gongzi. Continuing in this manner, Mei Gongzi had a high chance of winning. With both sides supported by divine artifacts, the attribute suppression gave her the upper hand. Thus, she was in no hurry and had no issue continuing this way.

At that moment, the mass of yin energy below suddenly collapsed inward. The next instant, a massive yin energy tornado shot up into the sky, shattering the spatial rifts and shaking space itself as it swept toward Mei Gongzi.

The Nethermoon Flower could no longer hold back.
