Chapter 242: You’re Serious?! (3k)
The cloaked figures around, including Priest Lin Xiao, looked towards Bai Zhi upon hearing this, but dared not make any further moves. Lin Xiao was only an Initial Stage Battle King, so their gazes all turned to Cen Chuan before them.
Hearing Cen Chuan’s words, Bai Gen’s expression froze slightly. She suddenly gritted her teeth, her immense aura soaring into the sky, her blue hair flying in the wind. She then raised the long sword in her hand, extended it towards the approaching Cen Chuan, and said coldly, “Miss is at a critical juncture of Nirvana. If you come any closer, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Impolite? Miss Bai Zhi, if you keep faking your death, don’t blame me for being impolite to your maid.”
Gently prying away the sword filled with killing intent with two fingers, Bishop Cen Chuan smiled faintly, her pressure bearing down on Bai Gen. Her gaze remained fixed on young Bai Zhi’s face, drawing the attention of those people as well.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, after a long while, a sound like popping beans suddenly rang out.
The young figure slowly grew taller, casually tossing the flower bud in her hand behind her. She took two steps forward, and the skirt of the noble lady beneath her was stretched taut, revealing a section of snow-white, slender feet. A faint, cold voice drifted out lightly, “It’s impossible to get the true body flower. If you’re unwilling to give the remaining Spirit Rhyme Liquid, you may leave.”
“If you don’t know what’s good for you, then don’t blame me for escorting you out!”
She paused slightly, a hint of coldness appearing on her devilishly beautiful face. The door let out a “bang!”, a gust of wind surged in, and countless small white Floating Life Blossoms followed the wind inside.
As her slender fingers moved up and down, a white line emerged. The white line suddenly connected the white small flowers with a “chi!”, transforming into a shape similar to that copper coin sword.
Bai Zhi gently gripped the sword, her aura instantly overpowering Cen Chuan. She slowly raised it, pointing it silently at the opponent, as if she would strike with terrifying force if the opponent took even one more step forward.
“Miss Bai Zhi, don’t you really need to undergo Nirvana? You know that only our Ancient God Sect can defy the world’s judgment to help you transmit spores to humans and extract this special energy.”
Seeing Bai Zhi’s aura rise so high, Cen Chuan’s eyes narrowed. After a moment, she slowly revealed a smile and asked. The fact that the opponent could still exert Demigod Level strength far exceeded her expectations.
“You all leave. I do not need this method to break through.”
Waving her somewhat wide sleeves, Bai Zhi said rather coolly, “If it weren’t for Little Gen agreeing to you first, I wouldn’t have had any more dealings with humans like you.”
“Since Miss Bai Zhi is unwilling to borrow the power of our Ancient God Sect for her breakthrough, then so be it.”
After a long stalemate, Cen Chuan retracted her sword first. Her charming face looked as if it had been frostbitten. She knew very well that, given the current situation, if Bai Zhi was unwilling to make this trade, then with their strength alone, it would be absolutely impossible to coerce her.
She glanced at the stunned people beside her and, in the blink of an eye, coldly reprimanded, “Why haven’t you left yet? Are you going to embarrass yourselves here?!”
Lin Xiao, wearing a black clerical robe, was slightly stunned. He glanced at Bai Zhi, who looked like an immortal, then whispered into her ear, making a throat-cutting gesture, and asked, “Bishop, aren’t we activating Plan B?”
“Plan B… what Plan B, you idiot! Haven’t you noticed her level? Let’s go.” Saying that, Cen Chuan maintained her ice-cold demeanor, though her eyes flickered slightly before she walked towards the door where the strong wind was constantly surging.
The people behind her exchanged glances and then followed.
“Dada…” The sound of high heels echoed on the wooden floor, then on the bluestone slabs. The crisp sound was particularly noticeable in the quiet environment.
“Aren’t they fighting anymore? But I can still feel the oppressive pressure from the auras on both sides. They haven’t lowered their guard, but Bai Zhi’s aura feels somewhat strange.”
Su Jiu’s mental power was quite formidable, reaching the average level of a Battle King. She muttered in her heart with some confusion.
“Bai Zhi?”
Upon hearing Su Jiu call out the other party’s name without any obstruction, Bairnis was slightly stunned, then replied with a smile, “That demoness’s aura is just a facade. Being interrupted during her breakthrough, how could she be unharmed… Miss, your mission should be able to conclude safely. The reason the Ancient God Sect woman is leaving so slowly is likely because she discovered this.”
Bairnis’s mental power was much stronger than Su Jiu’s. Su Jiu could rely on the former’s mental power concealment. After all, she was a seasoned Duke of the Blood Clan, and her experience and other aspects besides strength were far superior to Su Jiu’s.
“Alas, it’s good that the demoness died…”
Su Jiu sighed softly. It seemed that Bai Zhi, whom she had kissed in the illusion, had formed a small knot in her heart. She felt a faint sadness in her heart facing the other party’s impending end.
“Let’s see if I can swipe the remaining jars.”
As if thinking of something, she narrowed her eyes and swam towards the sewage outlet with the manhole cover. She stopped more than two meters away from the manhole cover. Through the gaps in the cover, she could vaguely see a corner of an overturned jar.
She sensed her surroundings slightly and, seeing no one, gently pushed up the already loose cover. With Bairnis’s concealment, she felt somewhat emboldened.
Then, Su Jiu reached out to grope for it. Finding that she couldn’t reach, she carefully lifted her small head, glancing around the surroundings before her gaze locked onto the jar. She carefully picked up the jar…
“Bang!” The ancient, Chinese-style vermilion door slowly closed.
“Little Gen, they should have left, right?”
Watching the door slowly close, a trace of cold sweat appeared on Bai Zhi’s face. She gently inserted the long sword formed from flowers into the floor, barely able to stand upright with its support.
“The formation on the main door has reopened. They have most likely left.”
The blue-haired woman, Bai Gen, also withdrew her gaze, a look of worry on her face. She asked softly, “Miss, what’s wrong? I sensed that something was wrong with your body just now. It seemed stronger than before, yet also weaker, fluctuating up and down.”
“Pfft!”
Receiving her maid’s affirmation, Bai Zhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mist, splattering her white clothes. In an instant, her devilishly beautiful little face turned pale, and her immortal-like aura wilted.
“My stored items are gone, possibly swiped by that little thief… Never mind that, there’s still some energy in the jar. If I don’t replenish it in time, I’ll truly wither away—Little Gen, go monitor if they have truly left.”
Wiping away a mouthful of blood, Bai Zhi staggered towards the energy jar, her steps faltering, her voice soft.
“Yes, Miss.” The maid, Bai Gen, quickly cupped her fists and turned into a blue blur, rushing out.
After seeing Bai Gen leave, Bai Zhi’s gaze swept across the surroundings. Finding the jar gone, she suddenly seemed to sense something. She took a few more steps forward, coming to the well opening, and looked down quietly. Her little face instantly contorted in anger—it was that female hooligan who had caused her so much misery!
She should have killed her directly in the illusion! She never expected this person to make her fall asleep for almost fifteen minutes and sabotage the equipment!
“So you’re here, I’ll kill you! You shameless flirt!”
Just as she was about to swipe the jar, Bai Zhi’s mental power was much higher than Su Jiu’s, making it difficult for Su Jiu to detect her actions.
Sensing the light above her head seem to darken, Su Jiu looked up and instantly met that pale little face, and the beautiful scenery vaguely visible beneath her flowing skirt…
As their eyes met, this was a chase scenario!
“Not wearing anything, a bit white… Oh no, little sister Bai Zhi, is it too late to say those words?”
With no time to admire the beautiful scenery, Su Jiu’s face stiffened. She greeted her, constantly kicking the jar with her feet—Damn it, it’s stuck!
A million marshaling horses galloped through Su Jiu’s mind. Was this going to be the end of her?
“Heh heh, come in time? Once I turn you into a human pig, you can stay with me forever, with endless time to explain.”
Bai Zhi tilted her head slightly, a slightly broken look appearing on her face. She lowered her head, her smile somewhat eerie, and slowly raised the white flower sword in her hand, its tip carrying an incredibly chilling killing intent. The tip of the sword was aimed at Su Jiu’s right hand.
“Little sister Bai Zhi, let me explain, I didn’t really mean to mess with your energy jar, it was all a misunderstanding…”
Feeling an incredibly terrifying aura lock onto her, Su Jiu wore a forced smile, feeling extremely miserable in her heart.
She discovered that this damn jar was stuck, and no matter how hard she kicked, it wouldn’t budge. This damn pipe was also made of alchemical materials!
Should she use Elegy to fight desperately? But she couldn’t win!
If Bai Zhi caught her, she would be at least skinned alive – this place was also not suitable for using Mica Thunder as a rear guard.
“Misunderstanding? Oh well… Once Elder Sister becomes a human pig, you can stay with me forever, with endless time to explain.”
Bai Zhi’s eyes narrowed slightly, a killing intent flashing in her pupils dotted with small flowers. Her smile became even more brilliant as she suddenly thrust the flower sword in her hand downwards.
“Damn it, you’re serious!?”
Reflecting the sword tip in her pupils, Su Jiu was instantly terrified, her soul about to flee. She hurriedly used Elegy’s second form to break free from the oppressive lock, then forcefully leaned to the left with her body. With a “bang!”, fragments flew everywhere.
“Suddenly jumping from Initial Stage Battle General to Battle King Level? That’s something.”
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows, looking at Su Jiu with some uncertainty. But thinking of what the other party had done just then, her little face smiled sinisterly, her bell-like laughter ringing out with killing intent.
“Heh heh… But with just this, you still have to die!”
Just as Bai Zhi was about to raise her sword again, the door was smashed open with a “bang!”. A blue figure broke through wooden items one by one, finally stopping against a wall. Amidst the rising dust, a hoarse cry came from there:
“Miss, run quickly! They’re back!”
