Under the attacks from the Heart Piercing Spikes of the Heavenly Spirit, Wei Ke was unable to fight back at all. He had not even seen his opponent's face the entire time. All he could do was constantly use defensive techniques, using a protective arcane artifact on him to block the attacks.
Just when he had basically run out of spiritual qi and was about to give out, when he wanted to survive, his opponent suddenly unleashed a strange move. The thirty-six Heart Piercing Spikes of the Heavenly Spirit merged into one and struck out with everything he had, piercing through his protective arcane artifact in a single stroke and killing him on the spot.
As a bystander, Li Qingshan saw everything extremely clearly. The old man was actually hiding in a sand dune. Although the Heart Piercing Spikes of the Heavenly Spirit came as a set, they could not be used from several dozen kilometers away, and when they were used, they were basically defenseless.
As a matter of fact, they did not even have the strength to use the protective arcane artifact. If Wei Ke had calmed down right from the beginning and found the old man, the old man definitely would not have been able to maintain such a fierce attack. The outcome would have been uncertain.
However, he had been far too flustered. The missions of the Hawkwolf Guard were mostly about bullying the weak and outnumbering the few when they had an absolute advantage in information. It was only slightly more dangerous when they faced the White Lotus Sect back then, but they probably had Gu Yanying and Si Bao commanding them, so they would not be at an absolute disadvantage. Faced with such a crushing disadvantage, he immediately lost his composure.
Wang Pushi, who had gone through several years of bloody war between humans and daemons in the Clear River prefecture, definitely would not be so useless.
As he thought, Li Qingshan refined another arcane artifact on him, leaving only one behind.
Gu Yanying sighed gently and went up to close Wei Ke's eyes. She recovered her composure and stowed the arcane artifacts away. She said, "Rongzhi, it's your turn. You're only allowed to win! You're not allowed to lose!"
Gu Yanying was not a person who was strict with her subordinates. Just Now, Wei Ke had gone up, and she even specially warned him to be careful. He even specially warned her to be careful. Now that they faced the same opponent, Qian Rongzhi, who was an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, had declared victory for sure. Not only were the Hawkwolf guards confused, but even Si Qing glanced at Qian Rongzhi.
Qian Rongzhi only answered obediently, "Yes," before making her way towards the Dragon Arena with her head lowered.
Gu Yanying asked, "Do you want to change the venue?"
Every time a person died in battle, they could change the battlefield once. Not only would the people left in the battlefield consume a lot of spiritual energy, but they would also lose a lot of spiritual energy. His fighting style had also been seen through. It would be very difficult to achieve consecutive victories without losing.
Qian Rongzhi shook her head. She was so docile that Li Qingshan suspected that she had been replaced.
Qian Rongzhi's heart is full of resentment. After the success of Zhuji phase, she has broken through the biggest bottleneck of the lack of physical talent. The cultivator's will, the power of understanding, and the toughness of the spirit. It began to occupy a more important position.
Her comprehension ability was not bad in the first place, and her willpower was inhumanly strong. After being tempered by the Hell Snake time and time again, her divine soul was pure and powerful. He far surpassed ordinary cultivators, and he had the Heaven Climbing Vine to absorb the Spiritual Energy of the Other World. It could be said that he had turned a mediocre person into a genius.
He thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and slowly develop himself, but he was "promoted" to a White Wolf guard, constantly under Gu Yanying's gaze. He basically felt like there was a blade on his back, as if she could see through all of his thoughts. Everything he possessed, including his life, could be snatched away at any time. It was even more painful than living in the Hundred Schools of Thought as a measly Qi Practitioner.
Gu Yanying did not show any hostility at all. As a matter of fact, it could even be said that she treated her rather differently. However, her existence itself was a form of torture to her.
She was a prodigy, beautiful and powerful, loved by everyone. Her graceful bearing was probably because she had never experienced the feeling of being disheveled before. Her proud heart must have never been torn to shreds or trampled on.
Everything she didn't have was like dung to her. Even the cold and merciless Li Qingshan, who was as brutal as a tiger, treated her differently.
Gu Yanying, I'll pluck out your eyes one day and rip off your wings. I'll make you taste what it feels like to crawl on the ground!
With that in mind, Qian Rongzhi stepped into the Dragon Arena.
In order to prevent any unfairness from being ambushed, the battle would only begin after a while. This was also an advantage for those who entered later. They could use it to search for enemies, prepare their techniques, and power their arcane artifacts.
Logically speaking, after witnessing the battle Just Now, Qian Rongzhi should be searching for an opponent and launching a fierce attack. Sure enough, she immediately powered up her arcane artifacts. A layer of light rose up around her, followed by another layer. The three arcane artifacts on her were actually all protective arcane artifacts.
Afterwards, she used the last bit of time before the battle began to cast a defensive technique on herself before sitting down with her legs crossed.
Just how afraid of death is she? Everyone could not help but think like that. They had no idea how to react.
The old man in long robes was taken aback too. Originally, he thought she would launch a fierce attack. As someone who had gone through hundreds of battles, he obviously had a way to deal with it, but he never expected her to be so passive, without any intention of attacking at all.
Li Qingshan was in thought. That's not a bad step. The power of the arcane artifacts is also related to the cultivator's cultivation. Her cultivation is nowhere near Wei Ke's. If she only uses a single protective arcane artifact, it's extremely likely for her to be destroyed in a single move, and she'll die on the spot.
"Moreover, with his early Foundation Establishment cultivation, activating two magic tools at the same time is already his limit. Only by concentrating on defense without moving can he activate three magic tools. But doesn't this mean that he will lose without a doubt?"
As the saying goes, "A prolonged defense is bound to lead to a loss". Among the five elements, the attack of the metal element was the most powerful, and her spiritual aura was far inferior to her opponent's. Although this move was a helpless move, it also ruined her chance of winning.
Li Qingshan believed that he was good at fighting, but he also could not understand what Qian Rongzhi was trying to do. Could it be a protest against Gu Yanying? But she was not such a senseless person.
Looking at Gu Yanying standing with her arms crossed with a smile, as if she had already expected this situation. Thinking about it, it made sense. Those three arcane artifacts were originally given to Qian Rongzhi by her. Similarly, he could not imagine how Qian Rongzhi would be able to defeat such a powerful opponent if she stood in her position.
She knows that she will definitely lose this battle, yet she wants to use this kind of method to exhaust my spiritual qi. How foolish. I can use this chance to recover my spiritual qi. You're not in a hurry, and I'm not in a hurry either.
Thinking like this, the old man in long robes simply continued to hide in the sand dune, adjusting his breathing to recover. As long as his spiritual qi was fully recovered and he defeated Qian Rongzhi in one move, he would be able to enter the third battle in near peak condition.
After a short while, he felt a movement in the surrounding Yin Qi. Many long black snakes, unbeknownst to him, had silently burrowed through the sand. They swarmed up, coiled around him, and bit him.
"I see!" Li Qingshan said in his heart.
At the same time that Qian Rongzhi was activating her arcane artifact, She secretly executed the methods of the school of Legalism, launching a sneak attack on the old man in long robes from underground.
"But how can such inferior methods be used against such an opponent!" Li Qingshan secretly shook his head.
Instead of being shocked, the old man in long robes was overjoyed. He let out a long laugh. "This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
The black snakes coiled up, but were blocked by a layer of golden light, unable to advance an inch. It turned out that the old man in long robes was already prepared. It would be fine if she did not come out, but once she tried to attack … She would definitely be distracted and exhaust her spiritual qi. This was the best opportunity to kill her in one move.
These were not the real hell snakes. At best, they could only be considered as shadows that had obtained a hint of their aura, and were formed by borrowing Qian Rongzhi's own spiritual qi. Otherwise, if she could use the true Power of Hell, regardless of whether it was a big or small hell, it would be extremely terrifying.
On the sand dune where Qian Rongzhi was. Thirty-six rays of golden light pierced through the sand dune, tearing through the air and forming a shining golden Tiangang Heart Piercing Awl in midair. It had the momentum to pierce through everything.
Wei Ke had died to this move.
It was already extremely difficult for Qian Rongzhi to activate the three arcane artifacts. Now that she was distracted, it was even more difficult. With a clang, the outermost diamond-shaped shield was sent flying, and the golden light pierced through. Another layer of light was pierced through.
Qian Rongzhi had more than three layers of defense. Now, there was only one layer left, and it was obvious that it was unable to withstand the all-out attack of the Tiangang Heart Piercing Awl.
In the face of a life-and-death crisis, Qian Rongzhi finally frowned, revealing a pained and tormented expression!
"Are you afraid? It's already too late!"
The long-gowned old man displayed an excitement that did not match his age. Killing an enemy on the battlefield and seeing the enemy's regretful and fearful expression was one of life's greatest pleasures.
Just as he was thinking this, a sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart. Among the densely packed black snakes, an extremely beautiful little snake suddenly leaped out and collided with the spiritual light protecting his body. He did not know how it had fused and penetrated through, but it ruthlessly bit his neck.
He had already placed all his attention on that all-out attack and was actually unable to dodge in time. In an instant, an extremely painful feeling filled his entire body.
He was a veteran of hundreds of battles and had suffered innumerable injuries and pain. Even if his arm was chopped off, he would not even frown. However, this kind of pain was something that no one could endure. Otherwise, what was the use of Hell?
Even if Li Qingshan's heart was as firm as iron, he would rather endure the pain of having his bones scraped by a thousand cuts again than let this little snake stick to his body again. He thought to himself, I didn't expect that she could already control this snake to leave her body!
Looking at Qian Rongzhi again, although her expression was very painful, there was not the slightest hint of remorse or fear. Instead, there was a hint of faint mockery.
Having lost the control of its master, the Heavenly Spirit Piercing Awl clearly could not destroy an Artifact by relying on its own inertia. It transformed into thirty-six awls again and fell from the sky.
Qian Rongzhi leaped up, already holding a spiritual sword in her hand. Aiming at the sand dune where the long-gowned old man was, she swung the sword from left to right.
With a flash of sword light, a section of the sand dune was shaved off, along with an old man's head, flying through the air amidst the yellow sand.
He was entangled by the Hell's Venomous Snake, and even his thoughts were cut off by the pain. All of his Divine Sense and Arts had stopped circulating. When his head was severed from his body, his mind instead regained some clarity, and he praised loudly, "Good snake!"
The two of them confronted each other for a long time, deciding life and death with just a single move. It seemed simple, but it was unknown how much scheming had been going on in secret.
This turn of events caused everyone to be dumbstruck.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing that his subordinate had been killed, Si Qing actually did not feel the slightest bit of heartache. Instead, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly. Then, he raised his cup and drank to his heart's content. "She actually raised a real Hell's Venomous Snake. This battle was not a loss. With such willpower and perseverance, she already has the right to cultivate."
Qian Rongzhi killed her opponent and won three Artifacts, but there was not a hint of joy on her face. She silently squatted down, and the little snake slithered back to her wrist along a black trail, seeping into her skin once again.
This Hell's Snake was her greatest secret, and it could bring about a miraculous effect of turning defeat into victory at crucial moments. Now that she had been forced by Gu Yanying, she had to expose it in public.
