Ever since she was sent to Blue Cloud Pavilion as a newcomer, everything Murong Zhen did was to deliberately accumulate her strength. In the end, she only had one goal, which was to take revenge on Shanghai Laner, the lady who had caused her to fall into the dust!
Originally, due to the disparity between their statuses, under normal circumstances, the possibility of her succeeding in her revenge was close to zero. No matter how deep her resentment was, Murong Zhen was well aware of this fact!!
At the very least, she did not have any chance to take revenge right now. Perhaps after she worked hard for a few years, or even a few decades, there would be a glimmer of hope for the day when she could hold her head high.
However, Murong Zhen never thought that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly. It was so sudden that she did not even have the time to react before the incident had already happened.
Fortunately, her subconscious reaction in that instant had already perfectly achieved her goal of revenge. The displacement effect of Phantom Finger was just a side effect. In essence, it was a real killing technique.
Shanghai Laner had never thought that not only would the other party not be grateful for her kind reminder, she would actually bring about such a fatal disaster. She had always heard her grandfather talk about how dangerous the martial world was, but today, she had truly learned a lesson. She deeply understood what it meant to have the heart of a snake and scorpion!
Until now, she still did not know that the other party was Murong Zhen, whom she had met once. Of course, even if Murong Zhen introduced herself in front of her, she might not be able to remember.
It was just like how she had ignored Murong Zhen's provocation in the past. With the disparity between their statuses, if Murong Zhen wanted to leave an impression on her, she would not have had any hope of doing something outrageous.
However, this time, Shanghai Laner would definitely have a deep impression of her, if she could escape this disaster alive.
In terms of strength, Murong Zhen and Shangguan Laner were both at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Building realm. However, Shanghai Laner obviously lacked actual combat experience. At this moment, when faced with Murong Zhen's sudden Phantom Finger, she actually panicked. For a moment, she did not know what to do.
"Very good, that's the expression. Obediently die for me, superior Miss Shangguan!" Murong Zhen's face was so ferocious that blue veins could be seen.
At this time, she had completely forgotten about the threat of the ugly octopus. Nothing could make her more excited and vent her anger than killing Shanghai Laner. Moreover, this situation was simply tailor-made for her.
The Half Moon Lake was recognized as one of the most dangerous places in the periphery of the back mountain. Even if Shangguan Lan 'er died here, Even if Shanghai Laner died here, no one would suspect her, a newcomer of Blue Cloud Pavilion.
This time, even the heavens were on his side. With a single Phantom Finger, not only did he successfully escape from the fish's mouth, he even managed to reap the life of the Shangguan First Mistress. Was there anything more wonderful than this in the world?
Seeing Murong Zhen's phantom finger pointing at her throat, Shangguan Lan 'er couldn't move at all. There was nothing that could stop her. However … However, she had been scared by her opponent's fierce offensive.
At this time, Lin Yi was still on the giant fir tree across the lake. Although the straight-line distance between them was not too far, there was an ugly octopus between them. If she counted on him to save her, it was obviously beyond his reach.
The three people present, Lin Yi, Murong Zhen, and Shanghai Laner, did not expect that. At the last moment, the one who saved Shanghai Laner's life turned out to be a guy that no one paid attention to. It was a small curly bear that seemed to have no fighting power.
In fact. The small curly bear did not do anything difficult. At the last moment, it just gently pushed Shanghai Laner. That was all.
However, it was this gentle push that pulled its owner back from the brink of death. After all, Shanghai Laner was an expert at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm. As long as Murong Zhen's Phantom Finger did not hit a vital point like her throat, it would not be able to kill her.
Feeling the sharp pain on her shoulder, Shanghai Laner finally recovered from the fear of death. She hurriedly ran for her life with the small curly bear.
She could not remember her opponent's identity. She only knew that she was no match for him. If she continued to stay where she was, she would probably be killed before Lin Yi could come to her rescue.
Seeing that her Phantom Finger had failed, Murong Zhen could not help but grit her teeth in hatred. The reason why she came here today was actually the same as Shanghai Laner. She wanted to try her luck and see if she could get a Thousand-Year Tree Crystal.
But now, she had long thrown the thousand-year Tree Crystal to the back of her mind. If she still couldn't kill Shangguan Lan 'er with such a heaven-sent opportunity, then it would be very difficult for her to have such a good opportunity in her life. She couldn't let it go, and it wouldn't come again!
"Shanghai Laner, today is the day you die. This will be your burial ground. No one can save you!" Murong Zhen grinned hideously and chased after her.
Shanghai Laner was at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm, but she did not have the corresponding combat experience. She was no match for Murong Zhen at all. Moreover, she still had to carry the small curly bear. Even if she wanted to run, she could not run fast.
"Let's see who can save you this time!" Murong Zhen used her Phantom Finger again and instantly appeared behind Shanghai Laner's head. The small curly bear that caused her Phantom Finger to fail was already sent flying by her palm.
This time, there was nothing that could interfere with her Phantom Finger. Shangguan Lan'er, the lady who made her fall into the dust, was definitely going to die!
When Murong Zhen attacked with her finger, she was filled with joy and thought that she had succeeded. However, she was shocked to find that a familiar figure had appeared beside her. Her Phantom Finger, which was supposed to pierce through Shanghai Laner's vital parts, was caught by a single hand and could not move at all.
When she saw the person's face clearly, Murong Zhen's eyes instantly narrowed. She cried out in horror, "Lin Yi!"
The visibility at night was low. Even the fluorescent light from the Half Moon Lake could not change much. Moreover, her attention was completely focused on the ugly octopus and Shanghai Laner. It was normal that she did not notice Lin Yi's existence.
If she had known that Lin Yi was here in advance, she might not have had the courage to directly attack Shanghai Laner. Not to mention whether Lin Yi would harm her or not, she would definitely be dead if the news of her assassination of Lady Shangguan was spread out. There was no possibility of her surviving.
"It seems that during the Newcomer Challenge, I really shouldn't have let you go. If I had killed you directly, the world would be slightly cleaner." Lin Yi held Murong Zhen's Phantom Finger with one hand, and his killing intent was faintly discernible.
Before fighting with the mirror puppet, Murong Zhen's Phantom Finger might have been a threat to him. But now, with just simple martial arts, Lin Yi could completely defeat his opponent.
