"… Who else did you say those words to?"
"Of course not to others at will. What if I'm killed by you?"
Tetragon chuckled and said, "Smart. But, for a smart person like you to come to me today and show all your cards, what do you want? "
Wang Lu said, "It can be said that it's curiosity, or it can be said that I'm not willing to be a spectator. Try to stand in my point of view: Even the King of Dixian has to go through a lot of trouble and even beat around the bush to deal with the enemy. If I turn a blind eye to it, wouldn't that be the road to death? "
Tetragon was silent for a moment and then said, "You guessed it right, the opponent is very powerful, even I can't deal with it at will. But because of this, you should act according to your ability and avoid getting yourself involved in the whirlpool. I'm not kidding when I said that I would protect you. "
Wang Lu said, "A monarch does not joke, of course I know that. But, frankly speaking, I think you can't even protect yourself, so how can you protect us? Moreover, even though our overall cultivation base is not as good as that of our predecessors, we also have irreplaceable advantages, so we don't necessarily need your protection … Don't look disapproving, do you really think that you're so strong that you can win in the City of Immortals? If I didn't throw the game, you would've already lost. "
"Hahahaha!" Tetragon laughed again. "Wang Lu, your joke is funny … But, if you're serious, I'd like to hear how you throw the game."
Wang Lu lightly said, "The competition has been going on for more than twenty days, and I've always been a spectator. Isn't that the biggest throw the game?"
"… Do you want to say that if you personally make a move, you can beat me?"
Wang Lu nodded and said, "That's right. If I personally make a move, you would've been defeated."
Tetragon was silent for a while, but still couldn't help but laugh. "Are you serious? Do you really want to win against me, a cultivator with King Pill? If it was your master, I would be a little more serious, but if it's just you … Alright, since you're so confident, then come and try. "
Before he finished speaking, Wang Lu had already stepped forward and made his move. The Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi went straight for his face.
"Zhong Shengming's Heaven Splitting Divine Sword is indeed powerful, but without a cultivation above the Soul Formation stage, the Divine Sword is just a formless form. How dare you use this sword to fight me?"
As she spoke, Senior Gem Emperor stretched out a finger and pressed her fingertip against Rouge Tears. Her delicate fingertip bent the Immortal Sword Rouge Tears slightly. The body of the sword twisted and groaned in pain, as if it was about to break.
One sword, one finger, the difference in strength was like the difference between clouds and mud. At this moment, Tetragon did not use his true strength as a Dixian.
She restrained her power within the level of King Pill, separated a trace of her ocean-like immortal spirit into a core, and then fought against Wang Lu with the same level of King Pill.
There was no level limit in the competition in the City of Immortals. However, at this time, Tetragon strictly suppressed his own strength and did not use the power of Dixian.
If they wanted to fight, they would fight according to the rules that were favorable to them. If they won, they would be convinced and have nothing to say. This was not only the generosity of the Emperor, but also a trace of preferential treatment that Tetragon gave to Wang Lu.
Wang Lu unceremoniously accepted Tetragon's preferential treatment. After the first sword strike failed, he made another sword strike. Unexpectedly, he held two swords in his hands!
This sword strike was very fast and very hidden. The sword light was completely covered in the shadow of Rouge Tears, but its power was not much inferior to that of the Immortal Sword.
However, as if he had foreseen it, Tetragon's other hand just happened to be in front of the sneak attack sword, so that it could not move.
Two fingers easily stopped Wang Lu's two thunder-like sword strikes. Wang Lu's face gradually turned red, and his whole body's true yuan boiled like lava as he continued to output power. However, Tetragon looked indifferent and at ease.
It was simply a crushing disparity. The strength of Tetragon had far surpassed that of any other Dixian.
As a contestant of the Grand Competition, after a long period of training and strengthening, Wang Lu's strength had more than doubled compared to before the Grand Competition. He was also at the peak of King Pill, but the peak was different. Now, he had the strength to compete with the general Dixian in King Pill.
However, in front of Tetragon, everything seemed to return to the starting point.
"Trying to compete with me with brute force … Wang Lu, you're too irrational. I'm very disappointed. "
With that, Tetragon raised his eyes and the virtual King Pill with the immortal spirit energy spun wildly, releasing countless golden threads, which spread out from her body and weaved into a huge net that wrapped her up tightly, like a cocoon.
"Calm down, I have considerable expectations for you."
Tetragon said and sighed slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes.
She indeed had high hopes for Wang Lu. Although the strength of this young cultivator was not strong, his resourcefulness was ever-changing, which was often refreshing. Tetragon had long decided that after he unified Nine Regions, he must give Wang Lu an important position so that he could display his talent.
That would be a more substantial position than the chief planner of the Organizing Committee. At the same time, she would also try her best to help Wang Lu improve his cultivation base. With the means of Dixian, coupled with Wang Lu's amazing Void Spirit Root, his strength would certainly advance by leaps and bounds. If she used the secret treasure in the depths of the group of immortal tombs, it would only take him thirty years at most, or even a few years at least, to let him enter the threshold of Dixian.
However, now it seemed that her expectations for him were too high.
Although Wang Lu was talented, he could not avoid some common problems of young people: hot-headed and gambler's mentality.
Could it be that he couldn't think of the gap in strength between the two sides? However, he still wishfully chose to use force. Did he really think that he could have a good chance of winning … Although, the sharpness of his sword was indeed beyond her expectation.
As Tetragon thought about it, she raised her right hand. On the tip of her jade-like index finger, there was a drop of blood that was particularly eye-catching.
Unfortunately, after all, he was still too tender … Tetragon shook his head, put these thoughts out of his mind, and prepared to continue to deal with the matter of Jiesaurus.
However, at this time, there was a sudden cracking sound behind him. Tetragon's complexion changed dramatically.
"Wang Lu, are you crazy?"
The giant white cocoon was formed by Tetragon's immortal spirit virtual King Pill. It was like an extension of her body and had a very keen sense of touch. Wang Lu was trapped in the cocoon, and his every move was under the control of Tetragon.
Therefore, Tetragon immediately discovered what Wang Lu was doing.
He blew up the King Pill.
After more than thirty years of cultivation, the King Pill that carried Wang Lu's entire immortal cultivation path exploded in the young man's indifferent smile. The King Pill, which was stronger and more indestructible than any metal, was torn apart by the powerful explosive force.
At this moment, even the knowledgeable Tetragon couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Wang Lu surprised her again by making an absolutely unexpected choice.
He blew up the King Pill?!
Was it necessary? This wasn't a battle to the death. Was it necessary to disregard his own future and even his own life for a mere victory?
Even if he used the power of the King Pill to escape … and even won this match, was it really a victory? He couldn't even calculate the basic gains and losses. How could she rest assured to hand over the more important responsibility to him?
In that instant, Tetragon thought a lot, and at the same time, she did one thing.
She dispelled the cocoon so that the power of Wang Lu blowing up the King Pill could be released — otherwise, the violent power would be sealed in a small space. Even if Wang Lu could survive the backlash of blowing up the King Pill, he would still be torn apart by the violent power.
Although Tetragon was disappointed with Wang Lu's performance, she wouldn't sit by and watch him die.
However, the moment Tetragon dispelled the cocoon, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the cocoon in disbelief. A purple sword energy was stabbing straight at her.
It was hard to describe the brilliance of this sword energy with words.
Although in essence, the sword energy was just a manifestation of a swordsman's true essence, this sword energy was like a living person, containing a trace of incredible and magical power.
And it was under the control of this magical power that the purple sword energy easily bypassed the three lines of defense that Tetragon had set up in front of her and instantly stabbed at her.
The next moment, Tetragon felt a slight chill on the center of her forehead. The sword energy had already touched her lightly.
Of course, the sword energy didn't continue to penetrate deeper. Tetragon's physical body was still at the Dixian level, and it was almost indestructible.
But this sword energy had touched a vital point, and it clearly and unmistakably showed one thing.
She had lost.
Tetragon was silent. She silently looked at the fragments of the cocoon, and Wang Lu's figure slowly appeared. And the purple sword energy curved and returned to his body.
After a long time, Tetragon sighed and said, "The King Pill is broken, and the Nascent Soul is out. This is the sword of the Nascent Soul. You actually chose this time to break through. You actually managed to break through at this time!"
The King Pill was broken, and the Nascent Soul was out. This was a hurdle that countless cultivators in the world had experienced. Cultivators used the King Pill to fuse with the Great Dao, and then used their primordial spirit to fuse with the King Pill, refining the Great Dao in the pill into a living creature. From then on, there would be even more magical powers. This was the path from the King Pill to the Nascent Soul. It was also the path that Tetragon had walked on before.
Therefore, Tetragon understood very well that if a Nascent Soul cultivator took advantage of the moment when the King Pill was broken and the vital essence overflowed, triggering a qualitative change, and used a sublimated sword energy, the power of that sword energy could instantly reach the level of a high-grade Nascent Soul.
However, this sword energy basically only existed in theory. After all, in reality, who would fight someone while the King Pill was in the process of breaking through to the Nascent Soul? The King Pill to the Nascent Soul was a major obstacle on the path of cultivation. The slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of the pill and the death of the cultivator. There had already been countless examples of the King Pill being broken, but the Nascent Soul not coming out.
Therefore, Tetragon never expected that Wang Lu would hide his trump card here.
The sudden sublimation of the Nascent Soul sword energy was simply a heaven-defying existence in a battle at the King Pill level. The many lines of defense that Tetragon had set up in front of him were designed with the King Pill level Wang Lu as the standard to ensure that Wang Lu would not be able to break through even if he was twice as strong. However, Tetragon did not expect that Wang Lu would be able to break through. In the face of the Nascent Soul sword energy, these lines of defense were vulnerable and were pierced in an instant …
"There is indeed no chance of winning against you with brute force, so I have to use my brain." Wang Lu smiled and said, "Now, are you willing to admit that you are not so omnipotent?"
