As the two were about to continue their fight, giving him no chance to rest, Zhu Xiaosuo imdiately pointed at the cultivator in front of him and said, "I swear by my heart, as long as you don't attack , I will not attack you and will even help you when others attack you!"
After speaking, he turned to face Leng Lu, ignoring the cultivator at the early stage of the Rebirth Stage, Third Layer.
The cultivator was montarily stunned by Zhu Xiaosuo's heart oath, unsure whether to continue the siege. Even if he defeated Zhu Xiaosuo, he would still have to compete with others for the Rebirth Pill. It seed better to keep this ally.
Seeing Zhu Xiaosuo attacking her with full force, Leng Lu thought things were not looking good. She hadn't expected Zhu Xiaosuo to make another heart oath so quickly.
Zhu Xiaosuo launched multiple Crumbling Stone Force attacks, using Wind-Chasing Steps to entangle Leng Lu, preventing her from retreating to Wan Xiu's side.
Leng Lu called for help, "Friend Wan, help !"
Zhu Xiaosuo also shouted, "Friend Wan, you've seen it all. It's Leng Lu who insists on blocking my path to immortality! If you still want to protect her, then you're harming . Even though the Demon Suppression Army is renowned, you can't bully people like this!"
Wan Xiu was a man who didn't like to break his word, which ant he had his own pride. Such people usually disdain bullying others with power. A gentleman would rather be deceived than deceive others.
Although using Wan Xiu in this way wasn't honorable, Zhu Xiaosuo couldn't care less.
Leng Lu glared fiercely at Zhu Xiaosuo, who responded with even more frenzied Crumbling Stone Force attacks.
Sure enough, Wan Xiu hesitated. He hadn't expected Leng Lu to get involved in the fight after securing the Rebirth Pill. But Leng Yanxiao was his comrade, and he couldn't ignore his sister.
After thinking for a mont, Wan Xiu said, "If Leng Lu stops, could you, my friend, give so face and stop fighting her?"
"Friend Wan, once you defeat an enemy, who here would dare not give you face? The key is whether Leng Lu agrees!"
"Leng Lu, stop."
Leng Lu panicked upon hearing this, "Friend Wan! I hope you can help !"
Wan Xiu shook his head, "If not for this friend pointing out the sect rules earlier, I would have taken your ten Spirit Stones and withdrawn from the examination. I owe him a favor and can't attack him."
"Friend Wan! My brother is your comrade in the Demon Suppression Army!"
"That's why I helped you get the Rebirth Pill. If you don't stop, I won't care about your matters anymore."
Though Wan Xiu intended to help, he didn't want to violate his principles.
Hearing Wan Xiu's words, Leng Lu gritted her teeth and chose to stop. Simultaneously, Zhu Xiaosuo also ceased his attack.
"You just wait; this won't end between us!"
With that, Leng Lu returned to Wan Xiu's side.
Crazy!
Zhu Xiaosuo was so angry he didn't know what to say. Seeing the other four still engaged in their fights, he decided to take a break.
Having fought two people in succession, especially going all out against Leng Lu, had drained thirty percent of his Spiritual Energy.
He took out a Spirit Stone and sat down to replenish his Spiritual Energy.
After resting for a while, Zhu Xiaosuo put away the Spirit Stone and rejoined the fight.
Leng Lu sneered, "Hmph, despicable man, replenishing his Spiritual Energy only to sneak attack those two at the Perfected Stage of the Rebirth Stage, Third Layer! They were allies before, and now he's stabbing them in the back!"
Wan Xiu's gaze towards Zhu Xiaosuo also carried a hint of disdain.
"Crumbling Stone Force!"
Zhu Xiaosuo unleashed a Crumbling Stone Force attack. Unexpectedly, he didn't attack his forr allies but targeted the cultivator at the early stage of the Rebirth Stage, Third Layer.
The cultivator couldn't dodge in ti and took a hit. Then Zhu Xiaosuo and his ally quickly suppressed the cultivator, knocking him out of the circle.
The cultivator at the Perfected Stage of the Rebirth Stage, Third Layer looked at Zhu Xiaosuo in surprise, not expecting him to choose to help. It was known that his competitiveness in the ring was much stronger than the cultivator who was knocked out.
It could only be said that Zhu Xiaosuo was a man of integrity who kept his promises.
"Go help the other one!"
With that, Zhu Xiaosuo went to assist another ally still engaged in a fight.
"Alright!"
The two imdiately joined the last battle. Three against one, they swept through like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, quickly ending the fight.
Wan Xiu looked at Zhu Xiaosuo with even more admiration.
"Thank you, friends, for your help."
"Chen Pusuo, if anyone deserves thanks, it's this friend here. He planned ahead and resolved the situation. Without him, we might have been out."
"Zhu Xiaosuo. What a coincidence, our nas both have the character 'Suo.' You're too kind, friend."
Though the three were competitors for the Rebirth Pill, they got along well, thanks to Zhu Xiaosuo's honorable conduct, which dispelled their wariness.
"Alas, with just the three of us, we can only share one Rebirth Pill."
Zhu Xiaosuo sighed.
Chen Pusuo and Shang Shan Qiusuo also felt a bit helpless.
Chen Pusuo thought for a mont and said, "Friend Zhu, you made a heart oath to protect that person; we didn't."
"What do you an, Friend Chen?"
"Friend Shang Shan, you hold off Friend Zhu while I knock that person out of the ring. Then the three of us can share two Rebirth Pills."
Zhu Xiaosuo made a heart oath to protect that cultivator and couldn't break it. If soone attacked him, Zhu Xiaosuo would have to intervene. But if two people attacked him?
Zhu Xiaosuo couldn't fend off four hands with two fists and could only stop one person. If that person lost in a one-on-one duel, it wouldn't be Zhu Xiaosuo's fault. It couldn't be said that Zhu Xiaosuo broke his heart oath.
So Chen Pusuo suggested Shang Shan Qiusuo hold Zhu Xiaosuo off. This way, they wouldn't break the heart oath and could share an extra Rebirth Pill among the three.
Shang Shan Qiusuo pondered for two breaths and nodded, "Alright. The three of us took the examination early, and sharing just one Rebirth Pill is too frustrating. Friend Chen, good idea. This way, Friend Zhu won't develop a heart demon. Friend Zhu, forgive , Crumbling Stone Force!"
Zhu Xiaosuo was stunned.
Can they do that?
...
What else can I say?
Then I'll use Crumbling Stone Force too.
He looked helplessly at the buddy he had sworn to protect. It's not my fault; I didn't break my heart oath. I am protecting you, but I can't stop two people from targeting you. You're on your own.
The cultivator, who thought he had victory in hand, was dumbfounded.
What's going on?!
What about the promised Rebirth Pill?
He had no choice but to brace himself against Chen Pusuo's attack.
What followed was an unremarkable exchange of Crumbling Stone Force, where neither could gain the upper hand, and it all depended on who had more Spiritual Energy.
However, the Spiritual Energy of a cultivator at the Perfected Stage of the Rebirth Stage, Third Layer was much greater than that of one at the early stage.
Even after fighting for a while, the remaining Spiritual Energy was still significantly ahead.
After a short while, the unfortunate cultivator at the early stage of the Rebirth Stage, Third Layer was knocked out of the circle due to running out of Spiritual Energy first.
Chen Pusuo withdrew his attack.
"Alright, I'm done here. Friends Shang Shan and Zhu, you can stop too."
