The woman was fierce-willed, humiliated so much and unable to resist, she actually self-destructed.
Young Master Wuji hadn't expected this woman to actually kill herself. Although he pushed her away immediately, the tremendous impact still made him spit blood, half his body mangled and bloodied.
"Courting death!"
Young Master Wuji flew into a rage. Suddenly, he formed hand seals, and from the center of his brow, a divine light shot out. A ball of flame rose in the void, enveloping the entire arena.
"Bastard... When
they saw the flames, everyone was furious. The woman was already dead, yet Young Master Wuji had used the soul flame to burn the void, clearly causing her soul to dissipate as well, preventing her from reincarnation and vanishing from the world completely. His methods were vicious and outrageous.
"If I had met him, I would have made him wish he were dead, and he'd regret coming into this world." Even Young Master Changchuan gritted his teeth and said that Young Master Wuji was far too despicable and vicious.
The two had no grudge or enmity; not only did he force the woman to commit suicide, he also wanted her to lose the chance at reincarnation—how cruel.
"Young Master Wuji, hmph, do you really think you can act recklessly?" Long Chen's face darkened, and the anger in his chest slowly burned.
He and the woman were not related or acquainted. In the past, although he would have been angry, it wouldn't be as urgent as now, wanting to rush onto the arena and kill her immediately.
"I really can't hold back any longer, or I'll be like a balloon full of energy—one touch and it will explode, and my desire to kill will consume my senses."
Veins bulged on Long Chen's forehead, his face dark and frightening. Just as that dragon clan expert had said, dark power should be loosened rather than blocked. The more you control it, the more it grows wildly; the more you suppress, the stronger the explosive power. Now Long Chen sensed something was wrong; lately, dark energy had become more active.
Young Master Wuji won, but this drew countless curses from the crowd. The entire viewing platform was thrown into chaos, yet he paid no attention to their shouting, acting completely fearless.
The match continued, and when it was Bai Shishi's turn to take the stage, she defended without attacking. Her opponent kept attacking with full force, but none could shake her defense, and she eventually gave up.
After Bai Shishi left, seeing it was getting late, Long Chen thought it wasn't their turn today, but it turned out to be Bai Xiaole's turn.
Bai Xiaole was overjoyed and prepared to follow Long Chen's method to unleash a massacre, but unexpectedly, Chu Ren directly admitted defeat.
"What's going on?" Bai Xiaole was stunned for a moment; all his preparations were wasted.
"Did they overhear us talking?" Lu Mingxuan was shocked—Chu Ren actually gave up. That was completely illogical.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "It seems their combined force technique isn't omnipotent and may have certain limitations."
Xiao Le was not their target. Chu Ren admitted defeat, and the Chu family still had two people, and they had absolute confidence in those two.
They must have understood Xiaole's three-flower pupils and didn't want to take risks, so as not to reveal their trump card, so they admitted defeat.
They probably want to choose the best opportunity, putting all their strength on one person. Their goal is not to compete for rankings, but to have one of us. "
If it's just one person, I'm afraid the odds between you and Fairy Shishi are the greatest." Qin Feng nodded.
Although the Chu family and the Luo family were mortal enemies, and Long Chen ruined the Chu family's major affairs, even executing Chu Kuang and Chu Yang, two outstanding disciples of the Chu family, sabotaged their grand plan in the Jialin Immortal Land, uprooting the Chu family's forces stationed at Lingxiao Academy. When it comes to hatred, Long Chen is probably the person the Chu family most wants to kill.
And Bai Shishi is also the main target of the Chu family, so compared to Bai Shishi and Long Chen, Luo Xue's target is actually less obvious.
"Zheng"
At that moment, a sudden sound of the zither echoed through heaven and earth, like the profound sound of the Great Dao, reaching deep into the soul.
Long Chen and the others were startled and hurriedly looked toward the arena. At some point, two people had appeared on the stage, one of whom was the zither player.
She sat cross-legged in midair, the guqin resting across her knees. Her jade hand plucked the strings, and a divine light shot out along the strings, tearing through the void and sending her opponent flying.
His opponent was a man wielding a spiked club. The phenomenon behind him flared up, blood energy surging to the sky—a powerful first-generation warrior, his aura astonishing, yet he was repeatedly repelled by the zither player.
"What kind of power is that?"
Lu Mingxuan and the others stared at the woman in shock. She played the zither with her jade-like hands, emitting divine sounds. Beams of invisible light shot out like heavenly blades slashing down, forcing the man to frantically resist, yet he was still forced to retreat relentlessly, not even getting close.
"That is the art of Heavenly Sound from one of the Four Ancient Sects. The body unites with the Dao, the zither with heaven, using the laws of heaven and earth to play the sound of the Great Dao, merging the power of heaven and earth at the fingertips, transforming the Dao into arrows, and the strings of the zither become the bowstring." Long Chen looked at the woman and murmured.
These words were not something Long Chen had learned in the Divine Dao Scripture Pavilion, but rather Ziyan had told him. So, no one present understood the Dao of Le better than he did.
"Boom boom boom... The
opponent of the zither player roared wildly, his whole body glowing, his whole body shining like a star, crashing wildly. The immense force made the entire arena tremble uncontrollably, its momentum terrifying.
You have to understand, the current arena is not the same as before; it's not divided, but complete. Although some people fought with all their might before, the arena barely moved an inch.
Now, that person could make the arena tremble. Clearly, he was extremely powerful, but no matter how hard he tried, the sound of the zither kept blocking him, unable to break through.
"This person has already lost. If we keep pestering him, we're forcing him to kill." Bai Shishi said.
Long Chen nodded. The expert wielding the spiked club unleashed continuous attacks, while the zither player always met the enemy with a single move. The difference was clear, so there was no need to fight further.
If that man kept fighting, he would seem a bit shameless. The zither player clearly didn't want to reveal her strength and wanted to make him back off.
As soon as Bai Shishi finished speaking, the man indeed stopped attacking and surrendered immediately. The continuous assaults had greatly weakened his divine energy. If he didn't give up soon, the man would kill him mercilessly, leaving him with only a dead end.
After the man admitted defeat, the zither woman gave a slight bow, then returned to the viewing platform, closing her eyes to rest again, showing no trace of joy, as if she didn't care much about winning or losing.
"This person is very strong." Bai Shishi looked at the woman, her expression grave as she spoke.
This woman defeated that first-generation powerhouse effortlessly; her effortless demeanor was astonishing; her victory was incredibly effortless, almost unfathomable.
"Indeed, he only used a bit of Ledao's superficial skill to defeat a first-generation powerhouse. This person is truly formidable." Long Chen nodded.
After the woman playing the zither won, today's grand competition came to an end. The next day, everyone arrived early at the viewing platform. The upcoming battles were thrilling battles that no one wanted to miss.
"She's actually the first show today. Now there's something to watch."
When runes lit up on the arena and a graceful and voluptuous woman appeared, Long Chen felt his spirits lift.
