The two heroes of ice and snow quickly walked up to me and said, "Wu Zhao, you are late!"
I responded calmly: "Hasn't the competition started yet?"
The spirit snake Sun Yan said coldly: "You don't know respect or inferiority! Don't you know how to greet your elders when you see them?"
I looked at her coldly: "Since you are old but still charming, I should say hello. However, I really can't think of what to call you. I'm afraid that if I call you 'Madam Sun', many people here will be unhappy!"
Sun Qi's face darkened. "It turns out to be something that is not worthy of being put in a formal hall. Brother is really making a fuss out of nothing."
Sun Qi said coldly: "My brother asked me to tell you that no one can bully his woman and still get away with it. If we can't kill you this time, we will kill your woman. All the women who have a relationship with you, don't think about walking out alive this time."
I immediately had murderous intent in my eyes: "No matter who they are, if they hurt even a hair, I will make Sun Yifan pay with his head!"
"How dare you!" Sun Qi shouted, "Kneel down and slap me 100 times, otherwise, I will make your woman's life worse than death!"
"Kill!" I roared, and the Rakshasa in my hand was unsheathed fiercely. The blade flashed, and I chopped straight at Sun Qi's head.
As soon as I raised the knife in my hand, the other three people also reacted and attacked the place where I must save at the same time.
The three of them wanted to "besiege Wei to save Zhao", and Ye Jin and Shi Heshang were not idle either. They attacked together to meet Sun Yue, the fox demon closest to me.
Dou Ma turned her feet slightly and stood in front of the two heroes of ice and snow, fighting one against two and forcing back the two masters at the same time.
Lu Xiaoying and Xiao Baitang stood up at the same time and stopped the magician from the Mirror Division who wanted to rush over to rescue. The two of them fought against the many enemies and after they swung away several weapons, the knife in my hand had already flashed through the air.
After the blade of Luosha flashed in front of the spirit snake Sun Yan, the finger-wide blade opened from the opponent's forehead to the chin. It was not until the opponent's body fell to the ground that scarlet blood spurted out from the opponent's forehead.
What I didn’t expect was that when I put away my knife, I saw Nangong Ling slap Monk Shi’s long stick with his palm.
Ye Jin and Shi Heshang cooperated with each other, with Ye Jin taking the lead while Shi Heshang blocked the retreat of the fox demon Sun Yue. Now the long stick was easily swung away, giving the fox demon Sun Yue space to turn around. The opponent immediately rushed towards me in the direction of the copper stick.
Monk Shi threw away the stick and stretched out his hand to grab the fox demon Sun Yue's throat. The opponent obviously didn't expect the monk to suddenly attack, and he directly locked the throat and lifted it in the air.
Nangong Ling screamed: "Monk, you can't hurt her!"
Monk Shi's eyes flashed coldly and he asked, "Why not?"
Nangong Ling said anxiously: "She is Sun Yifan's wife. If you kill her, you will get into trouble! Let her go quickly. There is still a chance..."
Monk Shi suddenly tightened his grip and broke the fox demon Sun Yue's neck. When the fox demon Sun Yue's body fell to the ground, Nangong Ling's face turned pale: "Why did you kill someone?"
Monk Shi held back his tears and said, "Nangong Ling, do you really think I don't know what you did in the castle?"
Nangong Ling's face turned pale in an instant: "I... I am..."
Monk Shi shook his head and said, "Since we came down from the castle, I pretended to know nothing and wanted to give you another chance. But what did you do? Go away!"
"Brother Shi, I..." Nangong Ling was about to step forward, but Dou Ma stopped him and said, "No need to say anything more. You are no longer suitable to stay here with us. Go away!"
Nangong Ling took a few steps back as if struck by lightning, and suddenly there was a burst of applause from the crowd: "Wonderful, wonderful..."
When I turned my head to look at the other side, my heart couldn't help but sink a little - the ones walking out from the crowd were the fox demon Sun Yue and the spirit snake Sun Yan.
The fox demon Sun Yue smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Wu, I have to say that your courage in protecting your woman is commendable, but it's a pity that you are too impatient. Since we are both known as the fox demon and the snake demon, how can we act like children and speak harshly and stir up trouble? Fox or snake, either don't take action, or take action to kill."
Spirit Snake Sun Wei walked to the corpse on the ground and touched the blade twice: "What a fierce blow, it is indeed a blow made with anger, a kill. Now you can try to kill me again and see if I am the real Spirit Snake Sun Wei."
My pupils suddenly shrank: "I admire you!"
The fox demon Sun Yue smiled and said, "Auntie hasn't been admired by a young man for many years. It's quite useful to hear that. With what you said, I will show mercy to your little lover!"
The spirit snake Sun Yan also laughed and said, "In the third round, both sides can attack and kill each other. If you don't kill us now, your lover may not come back."
I said calmly, “I hope those of you who remain on the periphery have strong heads and can block my knife.”
Just like what Linghu said, people in the underworld who are known for their cunning would not start out by making harsh remarks like little hooligans. They kept provoking me just to put pressure on me. Could it be that they wanted to force me to rush into the inner circle
Probably! I chose to kill the fox demon Sun Yue and the snake spirit Sun Qi right at the beginning, not entirely because of their provocation, but also because I was afraid that Lu Xiaoying and the others would suffer in a battle of wits. Only by killing their brain trust first can we put pressure on the Xuan Jing Division, and Lu Xiaoying will be more likely to gain an advantage.
What I didn't expect was that they had been plotting against me since the beginning. Not only did I fail to put pressure on them, but I ended up putting pressure on myself.
"Haha..." said the fox demon Sun Yue with a smile, "Then let's wait and see!"
The spirit snake Sun Yan turned around and said, "But, it seems that you are missing one person! How about we give you another half a day to find one more person to come in?"
Nangong Ling hurriedly said: "Dou Ma, please let me join, I promise not to cause you any more trouble!"
"No!" Dou Ma shook her head firmly, "No matter what, I can't keep you here any longer. Heshang, Ye Jin and Wu Zhao are brothers who live and die together. I can understand that you are worried about Heshang's safety, but you want to sacrifice Wu Zhao and Ye Jin, which is unforgivable."
"After you came down from the castle, I wanted to look for you, but Ye Jin and Wu Zhao disagreed, so I gave you another chance. What did you do this time? I won't gamble Lu Yatou and the others' lives on whether you will betray me again. Go away! For the sake of the monk, I won't kill you."
“Brother Shi…” When Nangong Ling looked at Monk Shi with tears in her eyes, the latter immediately turned away and raised his head desperately to prevent his tears from falling.
Dou Ma said in a deep voice: "Aren't they short of one person? I'll fill in the gap!"
The fox demon Sun Yue smiled and said, "Old Huangdou, you might have been a beauty 20 years ago, but now, hehe..."
Dou Ma said coldly: "I am not older than you, otherwise I will pick off those bits and pieces on your face and see who is younger between us?"
Fox demon Sun Yue was so angry that her face turned pale, but spirit snake Sun Qi said, "Old Huangdou, no one has seen you take action since you left Xuanjing Division. However, before you left, your cultivation had already reached the level of returning to nature. Conservatively speaking, you should have reached the level of a king or even higher. No one will agree to let you join the battle unless you want to admit defeat. Or..."
The spirit snake Sun Qi looked at Dou Ma and said word by word: "Let us seal off 80% of your cultivation. What do you think?"
Their target is Dou Ma!
It took me a split second to react.
What Nangong Ling did in the castle could not be hidden from Xuanjingsi. With the intelligence of these women, it is not difficult to figure out Nangong Ling's character. As long as we use a little trick against Nangong Ling, we can make her withdraw from the ring. If we can't find anyone, Dou Ma will naturally take action. The person they want to keep is probably Dou Ma!
Is there anyone in Jiuchong Pavilion who doesn't want Dou Ma to go back? Or is it that Xuanjing Division doesn't want Dou Ma to go back to Jiuchong Pavilion
Dou Ma said in a deep voice: "You can start now. Wu Zhao, protect me!"
"No!" I refused flatly, "They are cheating!"
The fox demon Sun Yue smiled and said, "So what if it's a trick? If Old Huangdou doesn't join us, we'll lose half of the Jiuchong Pavilion. Or you can go back to Xuanjing Division with us. What do you want to choose?"
Ye Jin took a step forward and said, "We won't choose any of them."
The fox demon Sun Yue said with a smile: "Is Jiuchong Pavilion planning to default on its debt? Can you represent Jiuchong Pavilion?"
Dou Ma's eyes were cold: "You keep talking about Jiuchong Pavilion. I can represent Jiuchong Pavilion, but can you represent Xuanjing Division?"
The fox demon Sun Yue smiled and said, "In this battle, I represent the Xuan Jing Division with full authority. If you want to openly tear up the agreement, then we will go to war."
Dou Ma's face suddenly darkened. From her current attitude, I can see that Jiuchong Pavilion has no intention of confronting Xuanjing Division head-on. At least, the opinions within Jiuchong Pavilion are not unified. This should also be the reason why Pavilion Master Shen Lin repeatedly gave in on the matter of the celebrity arena.
Ye Jin didn't wait for Dou Ma to say anything, he took the lead and picked up the defenseless Guazi: "Look, it's a female! Use it to take up a spot!"
Guazi was inexplicably lifted up and had his butt exposed to everyone. He was immediately furious and almost wanted to fight with Ye Jin. Lu Xiaoying hurried over to comfort Guazi, but Ye Jin said calmly, "Now everyone is here!"
The fox demon Sun Yue sneered: "Ye Jin, are you dazzled? It's clearly a dog, but you treat it like a human?"
Ye Jin said confidently: "First of all, I have to make one thing clear. Guazi is not a dog, but a spirit dog."
The fox demon Sun Yue laughed and said, "What's the difference?"
Ye Jin said coldly: "Beastmaster, you know the beastman etiquette, don't you?"
Beast Taming is of great importance in the art of martial arts. The most interesting thing is that the Beast Tamers treat spirit beasts as their relatives. The beast-to-human etiquette means that the spirit beasts of the Beast Tamers must be treated the same as humans. Although the Beast Tamers are not so extreme as to force fellow martial artists to greet their spirit beasts, they must arrange a seat for spirit beasts at the banquet, otherwise the Beast Tamers will definitely leave.
After Ye Jin finished speaking, the fox demon Sun Yue's face darkened.
