Chapter 129: Fight Separately (2.5k)
“Are they here?”
Under the wind pressure, Su Jiu looked up, her gaze sharp. The black robe she was wearing fluttered, revealing her sharp claws, which glowed with a somewhat terrifying rose-red light.
“Are those claws? Did she use them to kill that referee just now?”
This scene made some observant students notice, and they felt a chill down their spines. They hadn’t seen any flash of white light just now!
The “little whirlwind’s” claws didn’t seem like any skill, rather like items possessed by some monsters. Coupled with the referee’s words, they were hesitant.
“What are you waiting for?! Run! These people are all from the Ancient God Sect!”
Lu Xin’s face showed anxiety as she looked at the light barrier that was about to close around them. Dragon Hunter University had taught them about the various aspects of blood sacrifices!
Once trapped inside, they would only be able to fight those immortal divine servants of the Ancient God Sect, and any death would result in them being assimilated into divine servants by the alchemy formation.
Yet, these students still thought the referees’ words might be true and were standing there stunned, watching the show. This made her unable to hold back.
“You can’t see what’s happening inside from outside, do you need to be so secretive?” Su Jiu said in a low voice.
She had to stall for time for these students. If the first three were killed now, who knew if a light pillar would appear like before, which would then accelerate the healing of the light barrier in the sky.
“Nonsense! You five are maliciously disturbing the competition and ambushing and killing the referee.”
The leader, a woman, showed a cold smile. A white light flashed in her hand, and a gray short blade appeared. She slashed towards Su Jiu and her companions, the blade light scattering, and several gray ghost shadows suddenly shot out.
“Hundred Ghost Slash!”
“Woooo——”
As the ghost shadows charged fiercely, they not only stirred up a chilling wind but also let out roars, appearing quite fearsome.
Watching the charging ghost shadows, the woman’s lips curved upwards as she casually wiped her short blade.
According to the Shadow Master, this “little whirlwind” only had the advantage of a surprise attack. As long as all five of them were killed, wouldn’t those students be like lambs to the slaughter?
The crowd below watched the ghost shadows raining down, and immediately panicked. They couldn’t tell who was the good person between Su Jiu and the woman in the sky. They quickly retreated according to Lu Xin’s words.
“Initial Stage Battle General, a bit stronger than the previous one.”
Su Jiu chuckled faintly as she looked at the approaching ghost shadows, not appearing too concerned.
Energy attacks of this level might not be able to break through the energy shield she had formed. After all, things were different now; she had condensed about 50% of her energy liquid.
This energy liquid content was equivalent to that of a Mid Stage Battle General! Enough to withstand the full force of an ordinary Initial Stage Battle General’s attack.
She trembled, and a blood energy shield surged around her. Her crimson eyes glanced sideways at the students who were slowly starting to retreat. Her fingernails grew longer, and she coldly snorted, “Don’t you understand yet? They are people from the Ancient God Sect!”
“Help us!” Several girls not far from Su Jiu cried out as the ghost shadows roared towards them.
Su Jiu’s gaze shifted, and then her claws slashed out three swift cuts. She let the ghost shadows hit her shield, making silent noises.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Crescent-shaped red sword energy followed closely, dispersing the gray ghost shadows that were about to hit the girls.
“Claws on her hands—and her eyes! She’s not using an avatar!”
Seeing how terrified those students were of Su Jiu, Lu Xin was incredibly annoyed. She quickly shouted, “She is Lord Su who taught you to practice! Go quickly; otherwise, there won’t be time later!”
Following Lu Xin’s angry shouts, the students finally began to react and quickly retreated.
Regardless of whether the “little whirlwind” was Lord Su from yesterday noon, the three referees acting without distinguishing right from wrong was enough to make them fearful.
“A Warrior Class student takes my Battle General’s Hundred Ghost Slash, and she even uses her physical body to block it. Who is this person?”
The woman’s eyes showed a trace of surprise when she saw that Su Jiu could block her skill with an energy shield.
“No matter who you are! Stop those students for me.”
But a moment later, it was replaced by a frenzy. Her face contorted, and then she pointed at the students scattering ahead and coldly sneered at the two people beside her.
Since it would turn into a beast-taming arena sooner or later, the fastest way to resolve it was the best strategy.
“I wonder if you can still withstand my Hundred Ghost Saber Technique?”
Then, she rushed towards Su Jiu with a mad laugh, as if intending to fight her hand-to-hand. Any battle that wasn’t a crushing victory would devolve into close combat.
“Lu Xin, you four block those two! They are just Battle Generals obtained through sacrifice; they are very weak!”
Su Jiu’s eyes glanced at the two male referees flying overhead. Without looking back, she shouted loudly, and then forcefully swung her hands towards the charging woman. Two semi-circular bloodlights surged forth!
Without the Ghost Car avatar, she couldn’t fly. However, using it meant she wouldn’t have her corresponding claws as weapons, and her combat power would be inferior to her Vampire form.
Seeing the opponent attacking, Su Jiu didn’t intend to fight head-on. She only wanted to stall and seize the opportunity to sever the opponent’s arms to prevent the formation from triggering again.
But the opponent was already in a state of Qi manipulation for flight, making it easy to kite her. She could only lure her to land.
With this thought, she didn’t engage in a head-on confrontation. Instead, she dashed towards another direction. Her toes lightly tapped the grass, as soft as a dragonfly touching water, her eyes constantly flashing with rose-red stream of light.
“Boom!”
The woman took two slashes head-on. The tiger’s mouth of her hand actually cracked slightly, and blood flowed down the blade. However, the pain seemed to make her even more frenzied, her eyes filled with even greater ferocity, and her thinking seemed to become a precious commodity.
Kill her! Kill her! The Master will surely reward me!
“Bang bang bang!”
On the dry grass, the two chased each other, stepping on the ground. Red sword energy and gray ghost qi continuously erupted and clashed. The surrounding dry grass was ignited, and soon a raging fire broke out.
The woman’s current state was similar to Lin Liu’er at that time. Her already frenzied expression was made even more intense by the blazing flames.
When they reached a place surrounded by swamps, she saw Su Jiu stop and then leaped forward—her blade charged with gray-white light.
“Keep running! Why aren’t you running anymore?”
“Boom!”
Seeing that the opponent had taken the bait, Su Jiu’s gaze swept over. Her body transformed into a little bat form, and she slammed towards the opponent’s face in the opposite direction. While the opponent was stunned.
She reformed into human shape again, and a red light emerged from her claws as she slashed towards the opponent’s arms. In an instant, her arms were severed by Su Jiu, and hot blood spurted out like a geyser.
“Ahhhh! My hands!!”
“Blood Surge!”
Hearing the woman’s scream, Su Jiu also cut off her legs. With a slight hook of her fingers, the spurting blood slowed down.
Then, she let the opponent lie on the ground, her face buried in the dry grass.
“Devil… you’re not a Warrior Class, you’re a devil!! The Master will punish you!!!”
After doing all this, Su Jiu looked at the woman, who was like a human-shaped log. Her expression was frenzied with intense fear, and she lay on the ground mumbling incessantly. Then, seeing Su Jiu about to leave, her voice turned into pleas,
“Save me! You’re a Dragon Hunter, right? I don’t want to die… I can be a witness for you.”
“Tap tap… ”
Showing no pity, she turned and left directly, her small leather shoes making a cold sound. The blood flowing between her claws was nothing more than the blood of a demon.
“I need to hurry and catch up to them. The light barrier is about to close.”
The blood-red color in the opponent’s eyes represented everything. She pitied the woman, but who would pity the ordinary people she had sacrificed? Who would save these students?
“Hmph!” A breaking sound resounded.
After walking more than five hundred meters, a middle-aged voice appeared above her head, hoarse but filled with intense admiration.
“I didn’t expect those trash to be unable to stop you? Who are you? Advanced Stage Warrior—Little Whirlwind!”
……
“Great Sage, I’m coming to help you!”
Su Xiaoyu shouted loudly as she looked at the “Blue Edge Zhu Bajie” and Sun Wukong Boy in front of her, who were fighting evenly with the referee at the level of an Advanced Stage Warrior.
“Su Xiaoyu, you should slip away quickly!” Hua Yu shouted from afar with confusion. In fact, their relationship was pretty good, otherwise, they wouldn’t have sparred together.
He didn’t understand why Su Xiaoyu was trying to show off.
“Brother Hua, you go first—I’m going to help Great Sage! Otherwise, they won’t be able to escape either!”
Holding her gauntlets and exuding waves of cold energy, Su Xiaoyu pushed through the fleeing crowd and charged forward. She unconditionally trusted the people who stayed with her sister.
Moreover, she now had strength and was no longer that unlucky kid! She also wanted to be a hero!
Frost energy surged onto the gauntlets, and Su Xiaoyu seemed to recall the powerlessness she felt that day when she held Liu Lin, and the cowardice of being protected—but all of that changed because of her sister!
