Chapter 130 "Old Friend"
The poisoned dark web spread silently from behind, extending into Lu Zhaozhao's blind spot.
There were more and more sword lights in front of her, and Ji Shui couldn't stop retreating. She was almost unable to hold on.
At the critical moment, Cui Xingjue made a final effort and burst out with unprecedented energy.
He rushed towards Lu Zhaozhao with a blood-stained whip, using all his true energy as he hit her.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. It is obvious that Cui Xingjue knows that he has no hope of advancing, so he wants to use the last blow to severely injure Lu Zhaozhao. If he can take her away with him, it will not be a loss. If he can't take her away, as long as he can cause her serious enough injuries, her future will not be easy.
With this thought in mind, Cui Xingjue rushed forward, wanting to perish together with the enemy.
Ji Shui was a little shocked at first, and then a feeling of joy surged up in his heart.
She was just worrying about how to deal with Lu Zhaozhao, and now this fool actually wanted to fight with his life, which was really the best thing.
Lu Zhaozhao also noticed his thoughts.
She frowned and retreated, dodging Cui Xingjue's attacks.
It was obvious what the man in front of her was thinking, he just wanted to drag someone into the water. Lu Zhaozhao didn't think he had the ability to take her away, but she couldn't guarantee how much potential a person could have in an emergency, whether it was great enough to seriously injure her, so she could only take a conservative approach first.
Cui Xingjue became so ruthless that he seemed to be risking his life. He whipped the sword again and again, as if he wanted to squeeze out the little spiritual power he had left.
Ji Shui retreated to the outside, looked at him with contempt, and cursed him inwardly for being so stupid, but he did not dare to stop his hands.
She sent out a wisp of her spiritual consciousness, and during the gap between the entanglements just now, she laid a dense net in the dark, just for the final desperate struggle.
Unexpectedly, the fool Cui Xingjue thought that victory was hopeless, so he came out to do this, which bought her a lot of time.
A smile spread across her face, and her eyes fell on Lu Zhaozhao's ever-changing figure.
The danger that arises from the darkness is about to burst out.
While Lu Zhaozhao was fending off Cui Xingjue's attacks, she was also wary of Ji Shui who was withdrawing from the battlefield. She didn't believe that these two people would not join forces at such a good opportunity.
Cui Xingjue's speed slowed down, and he was about to collapse. The sword marks on his body still carried the sword intent of Niye, and it took a long time to recover. So after these movements, the wounds burst open and blood flowed out.
Ji Shui's gestures also slowed down. Her net was tied and was just a few steps away from Lu Zhaozhao. As long as she stepped back, she would fall into the trap silently. Ji Shui was sure that the prey could not get out of this trap.
Cui Xingjue's offensive continued, but Lu Zhaozhao realized something was wrong.
She stopped retreating and firmly blocked with her sword.
The doubts in my heart reached a peak at this moment.
Cui Xingjue clearly had no strength left, so why was he still forcing himself to push her back? He knew that doing so was futile and wouldn't even result in a fatal blow.
When did he change his mind?
Lu Zhaozhao recalled every move he had just made.
At the beginning, Cui Xingjue's approach was indeed relentless. It was clear he had no intention of holding back, only of risking his life. His actions were effective, causing Lu Zhaozhao to cease his offensive and shift to a defensive position. However, the more time passed, the more the meaning of his offensive shifted.
It seemed as if he did this on purpose, just to make her follow the predetermined route.
Lu Zhaozhao's gaze fell on Ji Shui, who seemed particularly anxious at this moment.
Just one step, just one step and Lu Zhaozhao would fall into the trap, but she stopped.
Ji Shui looked at Cui Xingjue angrily, hating why he couldn't retreat a step further.
Cui Xingjue accidentally saw Ji Shui's actions halfway through the fight. With just one glance, the two old rivals who often dealt with each other in southern Xinjiang guessed each other's intentions.
He really wanted Lu Zhaozhao to fall into it, but Lu Zhaozhao just stopped there, only one step away.
The last step, the last step again!
At the beginning, there was only one step left to drive Yao Tong out of the game. If she was out, no one would be able to give Lu Zhaozhao such a big boost, and the alliance with Zhou Xuegu would not be broken. He would not end up as a stepping stone for Ji Shui, a scheming person.
And now, we are just one step away.
Cui Xingjue knew that he was no longer competitive. Before leaving, he just hoped that Lu Zhaozhao would be sad too.
So, he exerted force with his calves and made a final charge towards Lu Zhaozhao.
Lu Zhaozhao, who was calculating the situation, did not retreat at this moment. She wanted to see what these two people were doing.
The person was right in front of him. Lu Zhaozhao reached out and grabbed Cui Xingjue's whip, and with another effort, pulled it out of Cui Xingjue's hand.
"You don't really think this is all I'm capable of."
A voice sounded beside Cui Xingjue's ears. In his horrified eyes, Lu Zhaozhao grabbed Cui Xingjue's collar as if he was picking up a small object and threw him hard behind him.
"Bam—"
With a sound, Cui Xingjue was thrown into the dark net of Jishui.
When prey breaks in, the dark web cannot distinguish people and only attacks spontaneously.
A bluish-gray color instantly spread across Cui Xingjue's body, a clear sign of poisoning. A poison that spread so quickly must be something extraordinary. Southern Xinjiang was truly a place of poison.
He threw the whip out, and the barbs on it pierced several holes in the palm of his hand. Lu Zhaozhao took a look and saw that these holes were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She rushed towards Jishui with sword in hand.
It is surprising that such a vicious trick was performed by this seemingly charming and weak woman in front of me.
At this point, there is no need to store water in the bucket anymore.
The dark web absorbed Cui Xingjue's remaining spiritual power, grew exponentially in size, and attacked Lu Zhaozhao under her urging.
In an instant, both of them were surrounded by the dark web.
"Friend Lu, my web is full of poison. If you get even a little bit of it on you, you'll have trouble escaping."
Ji Shui was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. She thought the formation was complete and the winner was decided.
Lu Zhaozhao chuckled, with endless indifference in her eyes.
"How can this be a mere tricky formation to test the sharpness of my sword?"
Frost rose from the sword, and in just a moment, the air around it seemed to be frozen.
It was a warm day, but it started snowing.
The silk net was covered with frost, and every silk thread was frozen by frost.
Ji Shui's expression suddenly changed. She tried to activate the formation, but a layer of ice seemed to block their perception.
Several sword lights flashed.
There was a sound of shattering, and the next moment, the carefully arranged dark net cracked into several cracks, and then fell into pieces.
When it hit the ground, ice chips flew everywhere.
Ji Shui shook his head in disbelief, muttering, "Impossible, impossible..."
Sword light gathered in the sky above her head, and an extremely huge sword formed there.
The strong light made the people watching around close their eyes, and then the sword fell.
The light shines brightly.
In the light, Lu Zhaozhao hid his figure and stood opposite Sangpan.
Sang Pan seemed completely unaffected and just looked at Lu Zhaozhao quietly.
"According to the Sang Jie."
Lu Zhaozhao spoke silently, and Sang Pan saw her lip shape and showed a relieved expression.
He walked closer, surrounded by the protection he had erected, blocking out the sounds from the outside world and preventing those outside from hearing the sounds from inside.
"When did you find out?" he asked.
Lu Zhaozhao had a cold face, but when he heard this answer, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
She didn't know how long immortals could live, but humans definitely couldn't live for more than a thousand years. But what about demons?
"Everyone outside is a powerful person in the world of cultivation. Aren't you afraid that I will expose your identity?" she said coldly.
Sang Pan smiled and said, "Now that I'm here, I'm not afraid of being exposed. Besides, you should have checked. The human race has no records of me. How are you going to expose me? Did you have a dream where I was a demon? Hmm?"
He spoke in a light and unhurried tone, determined that Lu Zhaozhao could not threaten him.
"Don't look at me like that. There's no deep hatred between you and me. We can actually be considered old friends." Sang Pan's face at this moment turned into Cheng Sangjie's. He said, "I just heard that the human race's Golden Palace Banquet is interesting."
Lu Zhaozhao sneered. She would not believe this man's nonsense. If someone was interested, they would have come here in a thousand years. Why wait until today?
The light outside gradually faded, and Cheng Sangji's face turned into Sangpan's again. He chuckled, "Shh, this is a secret between us."
As the light faded, the protective barrier also disappeared.
Ji Shui and Cui Xingjue were eliminated, and Yu Anxing stopped his attack.
The situation was set and he had no choice but to withdraw.
There were only five people left on the stage, and they were the final winners.
