His soft shout reverberated in the blurry haze. The clouds and mist dissipated, and two petite figures appeared before him.
“How did you...” Senior Brother Liu was stunned. How had the two of them been able to sneak up behind him?
Gongsun Wuxie wrapped her arms around her chest and cast a look at the treasure beneath his feet. Half-smiling, she said, “Senior Brother Liu, so you can actually walk! I’ve been worried about you.”
The young girl, whose na was ili, wore a cold expression. “Humph! Right from the start, I could tell you weren’t a good guy. Sister Wuxin is right about you intending to harm us. There must be so kind of danger ahead, right?”
Senior Brother Liu was shocked, and his expression kept changing. He flashed a pretentious apologetic smile. “You have misunderstood, junior sisters. I felt uneasy about letting you girls travel on your own, so I was going to take the risk and co and check on you.”
Gongsun Wuxie brandished the Heavens Made Divine Crossbow in her hand, and asked with a smile, “Oh, you were coming to check on us? Senior brother, you must have been disappointed then?”
ili touched her teeth, her right leg gliding in just above the mud. She looked furious and was clearly prepared for a fight. Now that they had made it clear, any attempt to resolve the conflict using flowery speech would be futile.
Senior Brother Liu’s heart sank. Things had gone beyond his expectations. He could be said to have made the wrong move. Gongsun Wuxie was way more cunning than he had thought. Not only had his sche failed, but he had also landed himself in a vulnerable position.
“Junior sister, you had better learn to give and take. None of us will benefit if we fight here. To be frank, ahead of us is a faction that isn’t on good terms with the Red Blood Palace, and they have a few extrely powerful students to hold the fort. If we startle them, we’ll all be in trouble,” Liu said in a low voice.
Gongsun Wuxie positioned the Heavens Made Divine Crossbow and sneered at him. “You’ll be the one in trouble, not us.” She believed that with her and ili’s speed, no one in the entire secret realm could catch up with them. No matter how strong their opponents were, without body techniques and speed, who could do anything to them? On the other hand, even if Senior Brother Liu wasn’t eliminated by them, he still couldn’t escape his fate if he t the other group of people.
Liu’s face darkened. “Gongsun Wuxie! You’d better think carefully about whom you will be offending if you eliminate !” His heart was thumping wildly and he was extrely nervous. He had made it this close to the Glittering Jewel Wonderland. If he got eliminated here, wouldn’t he miss out on a massive, extrely important opportunity? No matter what he had to do, he could not be eliminated. He was a little remorseful. Why had he ever thought of getting rid of Gongsun Wuxie along the way? He had been careless!
“Haha, it doesn’t matter if I forgive you. Your arrogant Senior Sister Tianyu won’t necessarily accept my kindness. Instead, she’ll find it reasonable, thinking that I’m afraid of her. If that’s the case, do I have a reason to let you go?”
Swish!
Gongsun Wuxie launched a blow with the Heavens Made Divine Crossbow, showing no rcy. The imnsely strong fire-based talisman erupted with boundless intense flas which moved forward quickly.
In the face of a strong blow that could destroy a peak ninth-grade Almighty, how would the seventh-grade Almighty Senior Brother Liu dare to retaliate by force?
“Ahh! Gongsun Wuxie, you’ll regret this!” Liu activated the green leaf beneath his feet, spun on the spot and took off rapidly sideways.
Bang!
The waves caused by the strong flas sent soil and dirt flying in all directions, causing Senior Brother Liu, along with his leaf treasure, to be overturned. Seeing that he was about to be consud and destroyed by the flas, Liu bellowed. The leaf treasure radiated llow shine and encased him like a dumpling.
When the flas surged onto it, the green leaf withered gradually and was slowly burnt away, but Liu had escaped his tragic fate by hiding in it.
“I’ll see how many treasures you have!” Gongsun Wuxie launched another attack.
Liu was shocked and furious at the sa ti. He hadn’t recovered from the last blow and was about to face another terrifying attack. He gritted his teeth and hurled out three green leaves continuously. Two of them grew with the wind, turning into gigantic, thousand-feet leaves. They rged with each other, forming an enormous wall that blocked Liu from the explosive flas.
The last green leaf enveloped Liu. Like a stone mill, it began rolling rapidly above the swamp at a very fast speed, moving no slower than Gongsun Wuxie and ili. It only took a couple of breaths for him to escape to a hundred ters away. Once he was out of the girls’ visual fields, he concealed his scent. He thought that he had successfully escaped.
“ili, I’ll leave it to you.” Gongsun Wuxie snorted coldly and activated the Heavens Made Divine Crossbow again. She destroyed the two green leaves that had ford the wall.
ili gritted her canine teeth, and exclaid ruthlessly, “How dare he plot against ! I’ll punch him to death!” With a howl, she broke through the wall of fire and sprinted straight after Senior Brother Liu. Gongsun Wuxie followed closely behind her. One after another, the girls chased after Liu with intense ferocity.
Liu’s face changed dramatically as he activated the green leaf with greater urgency. He ran quickly while shrouded in it, shock and frenzy clear on his face. He had no more leaves to stop the two girls. Once this leaf was consud, he would have no more ans of escape. Not long ago, he was a hunter. Now, he was the prey.
“Where are you going?” Gongsun Wuxie laughed coldly as she followed a hundred feet behind ili, targeting Liu’s scent. However, right at that mont, Gongsun Wuxie seed to have sensed sothing. The jade pendant on her chest pulsed rapidly as if warning her about sothing. “Be careful ili, there’s danger!” Gongsun Wuxie said. Quickly, she fished out the several bones the size of a thumb and tossed them all around her. Imdiately, a white bony fra grew from the depths of the ground, enclosing her within. If she could sense it, how could ili not, given that she was as sensitive as a wild beast?
“Who’s there?” ili exposed her arms, neck, and legs. All of a sudden, nurous fascinating talisman symbols surged all over her body, from the inside out. Her skin turned from dark to the color of wheat, which was rich with luster. From afar, she looked a wheat-colored human made out of tal.
Soft air-breaking sounds made the air quiver. However, the screeching of cicadas sounded from all directions, making it unable to for one to identify the exact direction.
Swish!
All of a sudden, a blood-red ray of arrow light seed to have materialized out of thin air. It landed fifty feet in front of Gongsun Wuxie. It was so close that, despite Gongsun Wuxie’s swift body techniques, there was no way she could turn her body around. Luckily, she had prepared early on to use the white bone cage to keep herself locked within. With a soft clank of the white bones, the blood-red light of the arrow was blocked on the outside. Much to her shock, the arrow light was nailed into the extrely sturdy bone. She fixed her gaze on it and found that a blood-red feathered arrow had been propelled straight into the white bone. If she had been shot, Gongsun Wuxie’s body would surely have been penetrated by the strong force and been thoroughly ruptured.
anwhile, ili was also taking a blow from the arrow.
Ding!
The sound of tal clanking reverberated. With a dull thud, ili’s dainty body was crushed upon by the red light, flying backward and crashing into the white bone cage. Her body did not manage to block the arrow, and her shoulder blades were pierced from the front right through the back. With all her might, she managed to ensure the arrow avoided her vital organs at the critical mont.
Gongsun Wuxie imdiately opened up the cage and pulled the injured ili inside. Her eyes were radiating cold hatred as she stared into the depths of the blurry haze. An imnse sense of danger overwheld her.
Senior Brother Liu had left stealthily, long before the blood-red arrow light appeared. After advancing for three hundred ters, he turned to look back with his heart still palpitating rapidly. He wiped away his cold sweat. “Luckily I wasn’t discovered!” As he recalled his own unlucky circumstances, he could not help but laugh slyly. “But then, those two little s*uts have finally been gotten rid of, right? Humph, wanna eliminate ? Dream on!”
He stored the leaf away and was about to get up to leave the region as soon as possible. However, right at that mont, a bright and clear voice rang out suddenly. “I see that the way you were rolling on the floor was very skilled. Why get up now? Won’t it be great if you keep rolling on?”
Out of the blue, Su Yu stepped out from the blurry haze a hundred feet ahead from him. He was staring at Senior Brother Liu with a cold gleam in his eyes.
