Chapter 125 Rescue
Ying Che left in a daze. Lu Zhaozhao looked at his receding back, and all that came to her mind was Ying Che's pale face after she finished speaking.
I think he doesn't know why it turned out like this, but no matter whether he really thought so or it was the result of the plot control, she, Lu Zhaozhao, is not a saint and will not forgive easily.
Perhaps, after she completes her mission here, the real Lu Zhaozhao will come back, and only she will have the right to choose whether to forgive.
"call."
She raised her head and exhaled, feeling infinitely happy and relaxed in her heart. She had finally let go of the worry that had been lingering in her mind. At this moment, her mind was clear.
In the final round, only ten people were left.
Lu Zhaozhao sat quietly beside the ring, and ten people formed a circle around him. Outside the ring, there were many people standing, and everyone was looking forward to the final competition.
Ten will be selected into five, and the remaining five will go to the Golden Platform to take the test. This is the final step.
Sect Leader Qingsongzi came in person and stood in the center of the arena. He first looked around, and then spoke like a loud bell.
"You are all young talents who have gone through the most rigorous selection and advanced to the next level. You are the future hope of the cultivation world. Having made it this far, you are only one step away from the Golden Stage. I believe you all don't want to stop here. In previous Golden Palace Banquets, the top five were selected in a two-on-two duel format, but this year, after discussing with the other sect leaders, I have decided to adopt a new format."
He paused, leaving everyone in suspense. No one dared to speak, as everyone wanted to know what this new format would be like.
"The final round will be held. Ten people will be separated by this stage. Those who leave the stage will be eliminated. This process will continue until only five people remain, and they will be the top five of this Golden Palace Banquet!"
As soon as Qingsongzi finished speaking, there was a commotion in the audience.
The ten people sitting on the stage all frowned in unison.
If a one-on-one fight is a test of strength, then a ten-person melee is a greater test of one's character and decision-making.
Who are friends and who are enemies? At this moment, who can be trusted and who will be betrayed?
A test of trust is imposed in the competition of strength.
After Qingsongzi finished explaining the rules, he stepped down from the stage. Ten people were left on the stage, each forming their own formation.
"Uncle Bai, let's form an alliance." A disciple dressed in the uniform of Wenyuan Academy spoke first. Lu Zhaozhao remembered that his name seemed to be Yan Yutong, and he was one of the only two disciples of Wenyuan Academy who were promoted.
It is not surprising for fellow disciples to form an alliance, but among the ten people in the group, they are the only ones from the same sect, and the rest are from different sects.
Lu Zhaozhao looked at the remaining people one by one, and they were also observing others.
Apart from Master Bai Yuan, Yao Tong, Liao Chou, and Yan Yutong who had just spoken, the remaining people came from all over the world.
Ji Shui, who was holding a needle and thread, came from Xiang'anyuan, a sect composed entirely of female practitioners.
The burly Zhou Xue Gu came from Longgu Cave. It was said that they worshipped the strength of the body the most and their close combat ability was unmatched.
Cui Xingjue of the Panyuansi was holding a whip in his hand. The Panyuansi was the largest sect in Southern Xinjiang. Gu Taoism was prevalent in Southern Xinjiang, so it had its own unique rules of judgment. The disciples in the sect had gloomy brows and looked scary.
The remaining two were independent cultivators, Sang Pan. Lu Zhaozhao was extremely suspicious of this person. She always felt that there was a familiar feeling about this person, but she couldn't see it from his face. She had seen this person compete several times, but he seemed to be deliberately restrained and she couldn't tell anything.
Another wandering cultivator is Yu Anxing. His weapon is the Double-Edged Sword. It is rumored that his and his wife's names are engraved on it. It is said that the two once traveled together, but in an accident, his wife passed away. In memory of his wife, he took over the sword, and from then on he wielded two swords.
None of them are easy to deal with, Lu Zhaozhao thought. To get to this point, both cultivation and skills are indispensable, and the tests they will face next will be even more severe.
Lu Zhaozhao was still observing, but someone couldn't help but take action.
Cui Xingjue and Zhou Xuegu met during a competition. At this moment, they made eye contact and looked at Yao Tong together.
As everyone knows, most of the Tianyin Sect disciples are auxiliary, and Yaotong did not show any superb strength in this competition. Although some of her opponents were not that strong, it also gave others a guess: Maybe she is the weakest one on the field?
Yao Tong clearly sensed the hostility, and the Jiuxiao Ring appeared in her arms in a flash.
The next moment, the whip was already in front of her.
He barely dodged by turning sideways, but Zhou Xue Gu intercepted from the side. He had been accumulating power in his right fist for a long time, and after forcing Yao Tong to the edge with the whip, he tried to knock her out of the field with one blow.
But this idea is obviously too naive.
Yaotong fought back immediately after he stood firm.
The Jiuxiao pendant was shining brightly, as if gathering all the colors of the world. As she plucked the strings, the heaven and earth were moved.
The sound of the piano is continuous, softening the hardness with softness, and dissolving Zhou Xuegu's strength.
Zhou Xuegu staggered as the force was suddenly taken away from him, and Yao Tong took advantage of the situation to attack.
"Help me! Help me!"
Zhou Xue Gu shouted and angrily scolded Cui Xingjue.
Cui Xingjue clicked his tongue and swung his whip, blocking Zhou Xuegu and blocking the sound of the piano.
Yao Tong was not persistent and turned to attack Cui Xingjue before the whip returned to his hands.
Cui Xingjue gritted his teeth, his eyes becoming even darker. As the sound waves approached, he had to dodge everywhere.
Everyone else is in the observation stage. No one is willing to join the battlefield first, while at the same time being on guard against surprise attacks from others.
Yaotong gradually fell into a disadvantage under the attack of the two people and was getting closer and closer to retreating.
Just as she managed to withstand Zhou Xuegu's punch, Cui Xingjue's whip fell again, forcing her back, with half of her body already out.
Joy flashed in the eyes of the two men, and Zhou Xue Gu gathered his strength again, wanting to force Yao Tong to retreat this time.
Yaotong bit her lip, trying to take the blow.
When the situation was tense, Lu Zhaozhao flashed and left the spot. The people around her immediately became alert, thinking that she also wanted to provoke a fight.
But the next moment, Lu Zhaozhao appeared in front of Yaotong, also gathering strength, and collided with Zhou Xuegu's fist.
"She's crazy! Fighting fistfights with the people from Dragon Bone Cave!"
Yan Yutong exclaimed, but the scene before him immediately changed his mind.
Lu Zhaozhao and Zhou Xuegu's fists continued to collide, and neither of them could overpower the other, so they remained in a stalemate.
Zhou Xue Gu was a little surprised. He had never seen anyone who could compete in hardness with the Dragon Bone Cave disciples who had practiced the Dragon Bone Secret Art.
Lu Zhaozhao was also surprised. Her body refining skills were extremely demanding and the process was extremely painful. The reshaped flesh and blood were comparable to steel and iron bones. Until today, she had never encountered anything that could not be broken with her fists. It seemed that the reputation of Dragon Bone Cave was well-deserved.
Continuing the stalemate was not a solution, so Zhou Xue Gu was the first to step back and stood on the same side as Cui Xingjue.
Lu Zhaozhao stood in front of Yaotong, blocking her tightly behind her. This move undoubtedly told everyone present that Yaotong was safe.
"Junior Sister Lu, thank you very much." Yao Tong was a little surprised and delighted.
Lu Zhaozhao tilted her head slightly and said softly, "Senior Sister, you have done me a great favor. I shall repay you."
Not far away, the two people who had temporarily retreated looked at each other again and took stock of the situation.
Having already provoked this fight, they naturally couldn't retreat. The others were all eagerly awaiting the loser. They had heard of Lu Zhaozhao's name, but she was a female cultivator after all, and since her last promotion match was against a fellow junior sister, many people maliciously speculated whether the two had arranged this all along, a staged performance.
Thinking this way, they no longer took the two female cultivators, Lu Zhaozhao and Yao Tong, seriously.
"Ha!" Zhou Xuegu gathered his strength again, and the veins on his muscles bulged, making him look even more muscular.
Cui Xingjue recalled the whip, folded it in two, and tightened it in his hand.
The intention to attack was very obvious. Lu Zhaozhao sharpened the tip of his fangs, excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Everyone, I know you're just testing the waters. It's two against two now, so please give me some respect and don't attack."
Zhou Xue Gu said to the people around him that he didn't want Lu Zhaozhao to appear and attack him just when he was about to win, especially Yao Tong, who was famous and there was no guarantee that someone would want to save her.
Of course, the others had no objection to this proposal. After all, they could watch a competition without taking any action. It would be even better if someone showed up, so they agreed immediately.
"Brother Zhou, make your move." Bloodshot flashed across Cui Xingjue's gloomy eyes. Zhou Xuegu couldn't wait any longer and shouted to Lu Zhaozhao and the others, "Two fairies, if you can't hold on any longer, leave the stage early to avoid getting hurt!"
After saying that, he punched the two of them.
Lu Zhaozhao snorted coldly and adjusted his position, changing from defense to active attack.
Yao Tong sat down on the spot, put the piano on her legs and played it, and a ray of light covered Lu Zhaozhao's whole body.
