I’m Writing a Diary in a Fantasy World — I Really Am Not a 'Cao Thief'! Chapter 157.2 : Mu Qinglan (Part 2)

At least in Mu Qinglan's view, this match was highly likely to end in a draw—neither side would be able to do anything to the other.

Chu Ge smiled knowingly and turned his gaze back to the arena.

Within his perception, the young man nad Xu Yan was already fighting at full power. The energy of the spiritual seed and acupoints within his body had been pushed to their utmost limits.

Every slash of his blade carried scorching spiritual power like blazing flas; each strike alone was enough to make an ordinary Fourth Heaven cultivator tremble in fear.

As for the man nad Wu Xiao, though he appeared to be exerting himself just as fully—

In Chu Ge's perception, there was still an extrely subtle, deeply concealed power hidden within his body!

That hidden force was the true deciding factor of this battle. The mont Wu Xiao unleashed it, the outco would be settled.

Seeing Chu Ge no longer paying her any attention, Mu Qinglan slightly puffed out her lips.

She hadn't expected her very first attempt at actively striking up a conversation with a man to go so poorly.

Still, she wasn't discouraged—in fact, her enthusiasm only grew stronger.

And what unfolded next on the arena did not deviate in the slightest from Chu Ge's expectations.

Seeing that the battle had reached a stalemate, Xu Yan steeled his resolve and gathered all of his power into a single strike, seeking to decide victory in one blow.

Wu Xiao did the sa, the two eting head-on with their ultimate, trump-card spiritual techniques.

At first, they seed evenly matched.

But once Wu Xiao activated that hidden power, the situation reversed in an instant—his technique's might imdiately overwheld Xu Yan's.

Xu Yan managed to hold on for only a few breaths before he could no longer endure it.

He was struck down by Wu Xiao in a single blow, blood pouring from his mouth. Had the arena's protective formation not been triggered, Xu Yan would likely have fallen on the spot!

This sudden turn of events left the spectators stunned.

Even Mu Qinglan widened her eyes in shock, never imagining that what had seed an evenly matched battle would end in such a result.

Xu Yan had been utterly defeated!

A glimr of light flashed through her eyes as she looked toward Chu Ge, who remained calm and unperturbed.

Such keen perception—truly impressive!

she marveled inwardly.

Wu Xiao's trump card had clearly been hidden extrely well, unknown to anyone.

Yet Chu Ge had seen through it at a glance, leaving Mu Qinglan deeply surprised and filled with admiration.

On the platform, a frivolous smile surfaced on Wu Xiao's face as he slowly walked toward Xu Yan.

"Heh, Xu Yan—if you want to avenge those senior brothers of yours, you're still far too green!"

Gravely injured and lying on the ground, Xu Yan clutched his chest. Blood continued to spill from the corner of his mouth, yet he stared fixedly at Wu Xiao, his eyes filled with unwillingness and killing intent.

Seeing this, Wu Xiao's smile faded.

The next mont, a flash of vicious malice passed through his eyes—and then he suddenly lashed out with a kick!

Xu Yan's body was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.

Before he even hit the ground, he had already lost consciousness. His already severe injuries were worsened further, leaving him on the brink of death!

Chu Ge raised an eyebrow as he watched Xu Yan—unluckily enough—fly straight toward him.

With a casual wave of his hand, a stream of spiritual power surged forth, wrapping around Xu Yan's body and gently setting him down on the ground.

On the platform, Wu Xiao's mouth curled into a sinister grin. He had intended to savor the sight of Xu Yan crawling like a stray dog.

But Chu Ge's sudden intervention caused his expression to stiffen, the smile freezing at the corner of his lips.

Seeing Xu Yan safely placed on the ground, Wu Xiao's gaze turned sharply ruthless. He stepped down from the platform and walked slowly toward Chu Ge.

He wanted to see just who this reckless fool was!

In Lingxiao Ancient City, there were very few who dared to interfere with his, Wu Xiao's, affairs.
