Chapter 135 It Was too Difficult to Relax
The moment Mu Jiuri caught Wu Qingce’s aura, he quickly turned his body to the side and slashed. However, he missed. He did not have the same opportunity as Wu Qingce this time. Then, he swept his Sorrow Blade in another direction.
With a “dang” sound, Mu Jiuri used the Sorrow Blade to block Wu Qingce’s Levin. However, in the next second, he realized that the Levin he blocked was a “broken sword.”.
After watching his sister’s match, Mu Jiuri knew the uniqueness of the sword in Wu Qingce’s hand. However, when he was about to look for it, he heard Wu Qingce say with a smile, “It’s too late.”. In the next second, three wild thunderbolts that were attracted by Levin struck down at the same time.
However, Mu Jiuri did not sit still and wait for his death. Before he was struck by the thunderbolts, he used Ten Thousand Phantoms again.
Wu Qingce expected Mu Jiuri would retaliate. He was about to retreat but he could not move his body.
“It seems like eating two Speed Pills in a row is adding too much burden on my body…’
With this thought in mind, Wu Qingce was hit by numerous blade phantoms head-on. He spat out blood and flew backward. At the same time, Mu Jiuri was struck by three lightning bolts and fell to the ground.
When the smoke dispersed, both of them had already fallen on the ground.
The disciples in the stands held their breath and focused for a long time before they burst into a loud shout, calling out to the strongest person in their camp.
While they were calling out, Wu Qingce’s arm moved.
“Cough… Cough!”
After coughing out the blood that was stuck in his throat, Wu Qingce propped himself up with one hand on the ground and slowly struggled to stand up.
This made the righteous sect disciples shout like they had gone mad.
“Gale! Gale! Gale!” “Cough, cough!” After another two coughs, Wu Qingce waved Levin and sucked back the three Levin fragments that attracted the lightning that struck Mu Jiuri.
When Levin finished reassembling, Mu Jiuri, whose clothes were already burnt black, suddenly moved. Although he felt numb all over his body, he still forced himself to sit up slowly.
“You mixed the pieces of your sword into the flying needles, didn’t you?” Mu Jiuri asked while panting heavily. “Yes, I attacked you just to distract you.”
“It’s mainly because you were too fast… I had to concentrate my mystic sense to find you, that’s why I ignored the situation above.” “You… you talk too much. Do you still want to fight?”
“Of course, it’s just a lightning strike. It’s not a big deal at all” Mu Jiuri said as he struggled to stand up.
“Correction, it’s three lightning strikes. And yet you’re still holding up. Your skin is so thick.”
In fact, Wu Qingce was already at the end of his rope. Just the side effects of the two speed pills had severed his physical condition. He was even hit by the Ten Thousand Phantoms. He had already used up all his strength to stand. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted so much time talking to Mu Jiuri. He would have already stabbed Mu Jiuri in the chest.
“Brother! Stand up! Stand up!” In the stands, Mu Yao shouted desperately.
Although Mu Jiuri wanted to respond to his sister’s shout, the three bolts of lightning were too powerful. He was so numb that he could not even condense his mystic energy. He was just too stubborn to admit defeat.
Realizing that Mu Jiuri was also bluffing, Wu Qingce chuckled and used the last bit of mystic energy to control a piece of Levin fragments to fly towards Mu Jiuri.
The head judge, who had already seen through the situation, jumped up to block the Levin fragment and announced Wu Qingce’s victory.
“Oh!!!”
This time, the righteous sect disciples were completely thrilled. They had been prepared to accept the loss, but they did not expect Wu Qingce to stand at the end and win the most prestigious champion in this Gathering of Young Heroes.
Jiang Beiran could not help but chuckle in his heart as he watched Lu Yinlong jump onto the arena excitedly and hug Wu Qingce. “As expected, I’m the one who carry the Sect of Returning Hearts.”
The result was out, and Jiang Beiran did not intend to stay here any longer. Amidst the cheers, he silently left the stands and walked towards the guest house. The moment Wu Qingce won the champion, it also meant that the Gathering of Young Heroes was completely over.
The night celebration was inevitable. Although the righteous sect had only won a few championship titles, Wu Qingce’s victory alone was enough for them to celebrate.
Because of Wu Qingce, the gold-plated champion of the martial arts competition, Jiang Beiran could finally be able to withdraw from everyone’s sight. This was an unexpected gain.
Moreover, Jiang Beiran could imagine that for the next period of time, the discussion among the righteous sect disciples would probably be about Wu Qingce. As for himself, who was a weakling who saved people, would not longer be the main topic of people’s discussion.
“So comfortable.”
Jiang Beiran felt that he was about to become invisible again, but he was extremely happy. He walked briskly in the banquet hall in search of delicious food.
“Beiran, come out for a while. I have something to tell you.”
Just as Jiang Beiran was humming a tune and putting a crispy fried crucian carp on his plate, he suddenly heard a voice that made him lose his good mood in an instant.
Yin Jianghong. “What are you doing?! Can’t you let me relax a little?
At the same time, three options appeared in front of his eyes.
[ Option 1: directly reject. Reward for completion: Space-cutting Scripture (low tier earth grade)]
[ Option 2: Think of a way to escape. Reward for completion: Lotus Flower Pill Book (high tier of black grade)]
[ Option 3: Go out and find Yin Jianghong. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]
Jiang Beiran sighed when he saw the option.
“Yeah, no matter how close he is to the people and how down-to-earth he is, he is still a mystic master of the demonic cult. If I really lose my mind and reject him directly, all my previous friendship with him will be gone in an instant.”
After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran secretly left the banquet hall and quickly found Yin Jiang Hong who was standing on the bridge admiring the moon.
[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Chef + 1]
“Greetings, Cult Master Yin.” Jiang Beiran respectfully called out.
“Come and play a game of chess with me.”
Jiang Beiran’s first reaction was naturally to reject. Although he felt that this master of the demonic cult was not bad, as a righteous sect disciple, he did not wish to play Go with a demonic cult leader. If this was seen by others, who knew how many versions of the rumor would spread.
However, having somewhat understood the temper of this cult master, he would not contradict him. He cupped his hands and agreed.
He followed Yin Jianghong and took two steps forward. Suddenly, a figure landed in front of them.
“Hey, isn’t this Cult Master Yin? Why aren’t you enjoying the celebration party in the hall that I have prepared for you? Why are you doing here?”
Seeing Guan Shi’an appear, Yin Jianghong rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t tell me you plan to follow and protect this kid for the rest of your life?”
“That won’t be necessary, but in the Sect of Masked Moon, I definitely won’t let you snatch away my righteous sect disciple.”
“Tsk.” Yin Jiang Hong sighed. “I have some business with him. I’ll return him to you after a few words, alright?”
“Hey, don’t!”
Jiang Beiran’s face turned green when he heard Yin Jianghong’s words. A leader of the demonic cult had business with a righteous disciple like him. If this was heard by others, they would be able to get rid of him at any moment.
