Infinite Slaughter System: I Kill, Therefore I Ascend!-Chapter 216: Semifinals, Hu Lili versus Bai Yegui!

Hu Lili leapt onto the stage with feline grace, her claws and bestial form directly displayed. She grinned widely as she made a few casual swipes, those movements alone causing the air itself to seem to tear due to the sheer sharpness of her claws.

The Wild Beast stands erupted instantly.

"HU LILI!"

"Rip him apart!"

"She’s going to tear that ghost freak open!"

Hu Wulei sat forward, his burly frame tensing like a lion about to pounce, pride and worry flickering in equal measure. He knew his daughter’s nature, she fought because it was fun, and against most people, that was an advantage.

But against monsters, it could become a death wish.

Meanwhile, Bai Yegui climbed up the stage while floating like some paragon, his expression calm yet slightly serious because he could feel a threat from this woman despite it not being as severe as what Li Ling or Bei Dongshi gave him.

Among the Hungry Ghost disciples, the cheers were more restrained, but the tension was thicker.

"She’s the Wild Beast Hall’s true monster..."

"Don’t underestimate her... Senior Bai."

Bai Yegui’s eyes swept over Hu Lili once in an expert’s glance, not caring about her feminine beauty, but rather her battle stance, muscle composition, her breathing, and the sharpness of her bestial instincts.

"Oi, Ghost Guy, don’t hold back alright! I’m gonna go all out because I know you’re strong, so don’t get tripped up!" Hu Lili warned in good faith, her canines flashing.

The sincerity in her voice made some disciples blink in surprise, because Hu Lili sounded like she was inviting him to a spar, not a match that could end with death.

Bai Yegui didn’t respond, but his actions alone spoke volumes as his Hungry Ghost Avatar manifested in its half body state, covering him from head to toe.

His body also surged with Hungry Ghost Yin Power so pure and potent that it almost seemed like Li Ling’s own Blood Power, which was also one of the reasons they had been called ’Twin Monsters’ back then.

A low wave of murmurs rolled across the stadium as the Avatar formed.

"That density, it’s almost like real human flesh! Damn!"

"That’s not normal Yin Power for the third realm, but faintly touches upon the fourth realm and beyond!"

"Just what the heck is this brat? He definitely isn’t at the fourth realm, but can manifest power at that level with third realm power?"

Even Gu Mugui’s pale eyes sharpened slightly, while Hei An watched without blinking, hands still folded in her sleeves like a statue.

On the upper platform, Ming Yue’s gaze stayed fixed, his expression unreadable.

The Divine Deva Overseer saw this and was satisfied, calling for the match to begin.

WHOOSH!

The moment he did, Hu Lili disappeared from her spot with a wild grin, showing speed that surpassed anything before as she appeared beside Bai Yegui almost as if she teleported, swinging her claws outward!

The crowd burst into a roar, half of them not even seeing her move, only seeing her arrive!

"Woah, what is that speed?!"

"She’s already beside him?! The heck!"

SCRIIEEETCH!

A terrible screeching sound erupted that caused many disciples in the crowd to have to close their ears in pain, as Hu Lili’s claws connected with the lower right torso of the Hungry Ghost Avatar and carved a deep hole into it.

For a fraction of a second, the stadium went dead silent, then it exploded!

"She actually fucking pierced it?!"

"That Hungry Ghost Avatar is being torn apart by her claws!"

"Are the claws of the Divine Tiger Bloodline that strong?!!"

Hu Lili became excited, her eyes lighting up as she immediately activated her Tiger Blood Rage and half-beast transformation, two furry ears appearing above her head, tiger whiskers on her cheeks in the form of markings, her hands and feet turning into beast claws as well as a tail emerging from her back.

The Wild Beast disciples screamed as if their own blood had been ignited.

Hu Wulei’s grin returned—wide and savage—while his knuckles whitened on the armrest.

"That’s my baby girl!"

Pursuing the advantage she got, Hu Lili’s strength and speed increased exponentially and in the next moment, she unleashed a furious number of swipes with her claws that continually tore into the side of the Hungry Ghost Avatar, as if trying to dig a way to Bai Yegui directly!

To the crowd, it looked like a beast tearing open a corpse, but to the experienced eyes on the higher platforms, it looked like something more dangerous.

Hu Lili was clearly trying to force Bai Yegui’s real body into the open, to remove the ’distance’ and turn this into pure physical slaughter!

Cao Xian watched with narrowed eyes, lips pursed. She had fought Hu Lili and felt that strength firsthand, so watching Bai Yegui take it head-on without panic made her feel unhappy.

Bai Ruyi smiled faintly, finding the brutality entertaining in the way only a demonic saintess could.

Shen Ziyan’s gaze remained composed, but her fingers tapped once against her armrest, an unconscious sign of interest.

However, before she even got halfway through the defenses, Hu Lili’s expression changed as she turned around and punched out with her full force, meeting the palm of the Hungry Ghost Avatar.

It had slapped its side like a person swatting a fly that had appeared on their body, and the sheer size of the palm alone was equivalent to her height and more, so its physical power was no joke!

BAM!

Tiger fists met giant yin element condensed palms, and the ensuing shockwave shook the arena formations slightly!

The audience staggered from the sound alone and even disciples from other Halls whistled.

"That impact felt like a heavenly palm slapping down on an entire city!"

"That’s definitely not third realm physical power, how is that Hungry Ghost Avatar that strong?"

The Hungry Ghost Avatar palm was repelled but it only adjusted for a second before slapping down again!

Meanwhile, Hu Lili was pushed backwards, her back pressed against the remainder of the ’flesh’ of the avatar she had yet to claw out, her arms trembling in pain from the force, a trickle of blood flowing down her lips.

Hu Lili’s eyes widened, not with fear, but with primal delight.

She almost wanted to shout ’Again!’, but her face changed once she saw the palm coming down again with almost the same amount of force as before, knowing that she didn’t dare to receive it head on!

Somewhere in the Wild Beast stands, a disciple yelled, voice cracking. "Dodge!"

Hu Wulei’s grin had vanished as his body leaned forward, a father’s instinct clashing against his understanding of the rules of the tournament.

Before Hu Lili could make a hasty escape, a finger touched her back, unleashing an intense Yin Thunder attack at the perfection of the second realm!

The Hungry Ghost disciples roared.

"HERE IT IS, YIN THUNDER!!!"

"Senior Bai, nice one!"

Hu Lili screamed in agony and elbowed backwards, striking with her full power and causing Bai Yegui—who had snuck up behind her as he could move through the Hungry Ghost Avatar’s ’flesh’ like a fish in water—to change his expression as he hardened the ’flesh’ between him and Hu Lili.

BOOM!

The stadium shook again and people finally understood something that was easy to forget when watching her leap and grin.

Hu Lili’s body refinement and beast bloodline made her violent even without techniques because her strength wasn’t for show, it was literally her nature!

The amount of physical power the young lady possessed was no joke, especially with her using more than 80% of her full power.

Bai Yegui was knocked back within the body of the avatar, his two arms cracking and breaking as his physical defenses were not great, causing him to spit a mouthful of blood out.

A collective gasp rolled.

"She actually managed to bypass all that condensed Yin Power and hurt Bai Yegui!"

"She even broke his arms?! The hell kind of strength is that?"

Even Shi Gaolin—still bitter and battered—stared with a tight expression, because watching someone else actually force blood out of Bai Yegui stirred complicated emotions.

From the side, Bei Dongshi’s blindfolded head tilted slightly, as if he had ’seen’ the exchange anyway.

Hu Lili was even in a worse state now, her torso blackening rapidly due to the malevolent nature of yin power and yin thunder, barely held back by her boiling tiger blood full of yang power, which was what kept her in the fight.

But the problem was that the Hungry Ghost Avatar’s palm had not stopped since the start, even with Bai Yegui being damaged, and was now inches away from her body!

For the first time, Hu Lili looked like she truly understood danger of Bai Yegui!

As such, she could only weakly grit her teeth and bring her arms up in a cross in front of her body, bracing for impact!

BOOOM!

The sound wasn’t a hit, it was a verdict for the entire battle.

Have you ever asked a fly how it felt to be smacked to death against the skin of a human? Or a mosquito? Well, today, Hu Lili could tell you that it was an excruciating feeling!

The palm drove her into the Avatar’s body like she was being hammered like a piece of iron on an anvil.

The Wild Beast stands went from screaming in support to choking silence.

Hu Wulei was already moving—half-rising with his face twisting—before the Divine Deva Overseer’s aura pressed down on him like a warning that reminded him where he was.

The Hungry Ghost Avatar took its palm back, and showed Hu Lili who had been smashed into the partly clawed ’flesh’ of its body, her eyes closed as she had long fainted due to the force of the blow coupled with the still spreading blackness on her torso.

It was already a miracle that she hadn’t been smashed into paste, but it was more than likely she had severe internal injuries at this time, including broken bones.

Hu Wulei finally shot upright fully now, ignoring the eyes on him as he strode forward to retrieve his daughter, hands careful despite his savage aura.

The moment his arms closed around her limp body, something dangerous flickered across his face, the rage at the brutality of the yin power and the helplessness of watching his darling daughter suffer defeat.

But Hu Wulei said nothing because what could he say?

This was the Six Paths Demon Sect.

Her not being killed when Li Ling had set an example was already being very kind.

As for Bai Yegui, he simply retracted his Hungry Ghost Avatar and wiped the blood at the side of his mouth, glancing at the fainted Hu Lili who was hurriedly fetched by her father, and then walked off the stage without another word.

The crowd’s reaction was chaotic, with some cheering for the victory, more than a few stunned, while most were sighing with lament.

Bai Yegui didn’t look back, but rather to the side and his eyes fell on Li Ling, knowing that they would more than likely meet in the finals, and couldn’t help but feel emotional at the thought.

Even Li Ling, himself, lounging as usual, gave a thumbs up!

"Not bad, Old Bai. You have 0.1% of my power when I was at the second realm!"

Bai Yegui’s lips twitched as his fists tightened once at his side.

’Li Ling... it’s you versus me again and this time... I won’t lose!’
