"I'm sorry. I've always liked to let my puppets carry me. I've scared you." Sima Dafu slowly stood up. There were ten thin threads condensed from Immortal Qi on his fingers, and they were connected to the human puppet beside him.
"Ah, Yonghua was too careless!"
"She's being controlled by the puppet now. I'm afraid the outcome has been decided."
"What a pity! Yonghua is such a beautiful girl. I really hope to see her again in the future. "
For a moment, some people in the crowd sighed with regret.
Even Jian Yan felt that everything had been settled.
"It's a pity. Yonghua is indeed very smart, but Sima Dafu is more skilled." Jian Yan shook his head and smiled. "The puppets of the Puppet Sect are famous for their powerful control. The two of them are at the same realm. I'm afraid Yonghua will not be able to escape."
Lin Yun naturally heard this. However, Lin Yun still did not respond to him. Instead, he looked at the shadow under Yonghua's feet.
This shadow was the true deciding factor of this duel.
Sima Dafu was not nervous or anxious at all. After all, he was very confident in his puppet.
At this moment, Yonghua, who was on the arena, and Lin Yun, who was below the arena, suddenly raised their heads at the same time and said the same thing.
"It's dusk."
"It's dusk?" Jian Yan was a little confused. He looked at Lin Yun in confusion, not knowing what to include Lin Yun's words.
At this moment, Sima Dafu, who was on the arena, also frowned with a blank expression.
It was dusk. The twilight of the setting sun shone from the dazzling horizon. Under the illumination of the twilight, everyone's shadows stretched from west to east.
However, no one noticed that Yonghua's shadow was the complete opposite of everyone else's. It stretched from east to west, and almost overlapped with Sima Dafu's shadow.
Of course, only Lin Yun could see all of this clearly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sima Dafu shook his head. His ten fingers moved slightly, and in an instant, numerous sharp blades appeared on the arm of the puppet that was strangling Yong Hua.
As long as Sima Dafu's Spiritual Consciousness moved, these sharp blades would instantly pierce through Yonghua's body, turning her into a bloodied person.
Right at this moment, a shocking scene appeared!
Yong Hua's body turned into a black figure in the blink of an eye.
Before Sima Dafu could react, a piercingly cold light suddenly shot out from the shadow beneath his feet. With lightning speed, it directly pierced through his abdomen and came out from his back.
"This …" Sima Dafu lowered his head and looked at his own shadow in disbelief. Everyone present was surprised.
Under everyone's gazes, a figure slowly emerged from the shadow beneath Sima Dafu's feet. It was Yonghua!
At this moment, Jian Yan also noticed that Sima Dafu's shadow and Everlasting Flower's shadow were superimposed together.
"Oh, so that's how it is." After seeing this scene, Jian Yan also came to a sudden realization. He couldn't help but look at Lin Yun with admiration.
No matter what happened on the stage, Lin Yun wouldn't make any comments, nor would he show any expression.
To him, all of this was very ordinary, and there was nothing worthy of his attention.
Everlasting Flower's Martial Soul ability hadn't been displayed in the previous regionals.
Furthermore, the other two disciples of the Hundred Flower Alliance Martial House who came with her weren't in this group, so no one knew what her Martial Soul ability was.
However, only Lin Yun had noticed the abnormal shadow beneath Everlasting Flower's feet from the beginning.
Everlasting Flower slowly stood up from the shadow. At this moment, she no longer had a shadow.
As for her shadow, it was the one that was strangled by the puppet. This was the ability of her Martial Soul.
"My Saint-rank Martial Soul, Shadow Substitute. The ability is very simple. I can swap identities with my shadow at any time, and the shadow's appearance and demeanor will be exactly the same as mine. "
"From the very beginning, I swapped identities with my shadow. All of this was for this moment." As Everlasting Flower spoke, she pulled out her sword from Sima Dafu's body.
At this moment, she didn't forget to add, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you. My sword has been smeared with poison. Although it won't kill you, if you aren't treated in time, you won't be able to participate in the next round of the loser's bracket."
"You're so ruthless!" Sima Dafu clutched his chest, hurriedly raised his hand, and shouted, "I admit defeat!"
In his current state, it was impossible for him to defeat Everlasting Flower. However, if he didn't remove the poison in time, he wouldn't be able to participate in the next round of the competition.
The chief examiner also announced the results of the match, "The first round of the advancement competition, the seventh match, Everlasting Flower wins!"
Hearing the announcement, everyone at the edge of the stage was at a loss. They didn't know how Everlasting Flower had won.
Everlasting Flower, who was on the stage, also heaved a sigh of relief and walked down the stage.
"Poison?" When Lin Yun heard Everlasting Flower's last words, he couldn't help but smile. With his eyes, he could naturally tell if there was poison on the sword or not.
Not long after, an angry roar came from the resting area, "Bastard! How dare you lie to me! "
Jian Yan looked at Lin Yun seriously and asked in a seeking tone, "I really want to know when you saw through Everlasting Flower's martial soul."
Jian Yan wasn't a fool. The moment Everlasting Flower's sword stabbed out of the shadow, he had discovered it.
"At the beginning." Lin Yun replied calmly.
"At the beginning …" Jian Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The opponent he desired seemed to be more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
At this moment, the chief examiner on the stage announced the next match.
"The first round of the advancement competition, the eighth match, Great Dai versus Jian Yan!"
"Excalibur's chief core disciple …"
"The previous Excalibur's direct disciple."
"Oh my god! To actually be able to see the battle of this Class 9 mid-stage Wu Huang at this time … It's so worth it! "
However, the chaotic discussions of the crowd didn't attract Jian Yan's attention.
Jian Yan had been staring at Lin Yun the entire time. His eyes were filled with passion. He longed for such an opponent.
After a moment, he said, "I heard that the Array Faction's Sect Master has already reported the process of your regional competition to the Sacred Leader. I believe we will only meet in the finals."
"Promise me, don't lose to others. You are my opponent!"
After saying that, Jian Yan turned around and walked towards the stage.
Lin Yun couldn't help but glance at Jian Yan's back, but he still didn't have any reaction.
