1187 Sparring With the Dragon Empress(4)

Seeing the scene unfold before him, Xi Shengmo began sweating, "This is bad. We might need to stop the fight."

"Huh? Why? It's just getting good." Xi Meili looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"The formation isn't invincible. If under enough stress, it could break, something your mother can do if transformed! If the formation breaks, Yuan's life will truly be at risk!"

"What?! Then we need to stop them now!" Xi Meili exclaimed.

Xi Shengmo nodded, but as he prepared to intervene, another voice resounded, "Don't stop the fight."

"Huh?"

Xi Shengmo turned to look at Xiao Hua, who just spoke, with wide eyes.

"Look at Brother Yuan's smile. He's enjoying himself. If you stop the fight now, he won't be happy," she said in a calm voice.

"Are you serious? So what if we hurt his feelings? At least he'll still be alive!" Xi Shengmo said.

Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "Brother Yuan won't die."

Xi Shengmo sighed, "Fine, I won't intervene for now, but if the formation breaks, I am stopping the fight— not for Yuan, but for my wife. She would be devastated if she killed him by accident."

Xiao Hua nodded.

"You are unbelievable…" Feng Yuxiang sighed, and she continued, "But I also have a strong feeling that the Young Master won't lose to her."

Meanwhile, by the time she finished her transformation, Xi Mingze's Dragon's Gaze was running at full power.

The pressure Yuan was feeling was indescribable, and he could feel this invisible force threatening to pop his body like a balloon, as well as his consciousness slowly fading.

'Looks like I have to be serious now as well.'

Yuan activated not only his Dragon's Gaze to counter Xi Mingze's gaze, he also increased the strength of Heaven's Indomitable Soul to the maximum, so his Soul Strength was increasingly getting stronger by the second.

He was absorbing so much spiritual essence that one could physically see something that resembled a whirlpool around Yuan's body. However, since only Immortals could sense spiritual essence, nobody there knew what Yuan was actually absorbing into his body, so they assumed it was just ordinary spiritual energy.

The clash between Yuan's Dragon's Gaze and Xi Mingze's Dragon's Gaze was so intense that it affected those hundreds of miles away, meaning even those within the Ancient Dragon City were feeling pressured. Fortunately for them, it wasn't to the point where it was unbearable.

However, the same thing could not be said for Xi Meili and the others. Since they were right outside the formation, the pressure was intense for them, so Xi Shengmo had to step in to shield them from it.

"This is no longer a spar… They're going at each other as though they are really trying to kill…" Xi Murong swallowed nervously.

Not only were they battling each other with Soul Strength, but the two of them were actively exchanging techniques with their weapons.

Like a beast, Xi Mingze only grew more excited as they fought. The number of scales on her body increased, and her hair even grew longer.

Eventually, her entire body was covered in scales, looking as though she was wearing an armor made of scales.

When a Dragon transforms, there are certain stages, which can be determined by how much scales cover their body. The more scales on their body means the closer they are to their actual beast form, hence greater strength.

When Xi Mingze was about 75 percent covered in scales, Yuan could no longer keep up with her in raw strength, so he activated God of War's Astral Arts to assist him. However, since both Dragon's Gaze and God of War's Astral Arts consumed his Soul Strength, he couldn't use the latter at full strength. Though, it was more than enough to help him keep up with Xi Mingze.

"How many more tricks do you still have up your sleeve? Don't hold back! I want to experience them all, Yuan!" Xi Mingze exclaimed with a wide grin on her face after seeing his God of War's Astral Arts, her body shivering from excitement.

The two of them would continue fighting in this manner for several hours.

"He's not human. There's no fucking way he's human." Xi Murong mumbled in a dumbfounded voice.

"Does he have an unlimited supply of energy or something? How can he keep fighting with that much strength for hours?"

While many people can display immense power that surpasses their level if desperate enough, most if not all of them won't be able to remain in that state for long, but Yuan's existence defied such logic.

"The formation won't last for much longer." Xi Shengmo gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anxiety. But as much as he wanted to stop their fight, he couldn't move his body for some reason.

Perhaps in his heart, he knew that his wife would kill him if he stopped their fight at such an intense moment.

"Is this all you've got, Yuan?! If you are still hiding something, it's about time you show me!" Xi Mingze said to him. Her breathing was noticeably getting heavy. Even someone at her level couldn't continue fighting at such an intense pace for much longer. If she was an ordinary Spirit Sovereign cultivator, she would've collapsed long ago from qi exhaustion.

"I can say the same to you, Madam! Are you still holding back on me?!"

"I can't even if I want to!"

After a few hundred more exchanges, Xi Mingze said, "If we continue fighting like this, I will run out of spiritual energy soon. I know you can keep on fighting for longer, so you will eventually exhaust me, but do you really want to end our fight in such a manner?! I don't mind losing to you, but I don't want to lose like this!"

Yuan nodded, agreeing with her, "Then how about we finish things up with our strongest attack?"

"Deal!"

After their next exchange, Yuan and Xi Mingze distanced themselves from each other, stopping their movement for the first time in hours.

They also stopped using all of their techniques.

"I-Is it finally over?" Xi Shengmo sighed in relief after seeing this.

However, once they caught their breath, they started gathering their spiritual energy again.

"D-Don't tell me they are going to…" Xi Shengmo had a very bad feeling about what was about to happen, yet he also wanted to see this through.

"Mother… Yuan…" Xi Meili stared at their figures with her eyes wide open, not daring to miss it even if it was the last thing she did.
