"You don't have to do that."

The girl, clearly the strongest among the dozen or so people, had turned pale from the excessive consumption of her Yuan energy. She had repelled a three-colored giant with a single sword strike, and when she saw the bloodied backs of the others, her eyes couldn't help but redden. She then shook her head and said...

“You were implicated because of us. Not to mention, if it weren’t for your help, the few of us would have died here long ago. If even this minor injury can’t protect you, Shen Qian will definitely kill me when he finds out.”

Despite wincing in pain, Zhao Keyi managed a weak smile.

Ding Yi nodded silently, said no more, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then unleashed another full-force sword strike.

boom!

Rocks flew everywhere, and the two tri-colored giants that had just charged forward were once again slashed back, but Ding Yi couldn't help but stagger.

"Let me go first, you can rest a bit more!"

As Zhao Keyi spoke, he had already passed Ding Yi. With a roar, his body suddenly swelled to three meters tall, his whole body radiating dazzling light, and mysterious patterns appeared on his body.

boom!

With a single punch, Zhao Keyi shattered most of the oncoming tricolor giant's body.

At this moment, even though everyone on the jade platform was in a flurry of activity, they couldn't help but subconsciously cast admiring glances.

After Zhao Keyi revealed his true colors at the Nine Heavens Cup, many people have learned the secret of his transformation through various channels.

The Innate Sacred Body, one of the legendary Ten Perfect Bodies!

To be honest, that formation, which was obviously pitifully weak and had no Mountain and Sea Warriors to help, was able to hold on until now only because of Zhao Keyi and Ding Yi.

One possessed unparalleled swordsmanship, while the other had a sturdy physique. Despite both being only at the half-step Mountain and Sea realm, they managed to unleash strength no weaker than that of the early Mountain and Sea realm, which is why they have miraculously survived until now.

It's just a pity...

Many people glanced subconsciously at the woman in the red dress standing behind the military formation in the river, like a supervisor, and couldn't help but sigh.

This battle for the Nine Heavens is destined to be a tragedy for Jiangzhong Military.

If nothing unexpected happens, the dozen or so people here, along with Qu Bai on the stone pillar, will be the last remaining members of all the martial artists participating in the Jiangzhong Military Martial Arts Competition.

"Consort Ning, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Seeing the woman in the red dress sneer as she lashed out with her whip, Qu Bai, standing on the stone pillar, finally spoke in a low voice.

"Then you can try and see who dies first, me or them?"

Faced with the terrifying aura emanating from Qu Bai, Ning Zhaoyi sneered in disdain.

As she spoke, a series of phantom images flashed around her, and three expressionless Mountain and Sea Corpse Puppets appeared beside her.

Qu Bai glanced at the bare wrists of Ding Yi, Zhao Keyi, and the others, then at the dozen or so tracking bracelets strung together at Ning Zhaoyi's waist. After his expression changed several times, he ultimately remained silent.

"If you don't have the guts, shut up and stop threatening me!"

Seeing Qu Bai remain silent, Consort Ning couldn't help but sneer.

Qu Bai lowered his eyes, forcing himself not to look at the miserable state of Zhao Keyi and the others.

Consort Ning is nothing, and even those three Mountain and Sea Corpse Puppets are not enough to stop him.

Can……

He had no confidence whatsoever that he could kill Ning Zhaoyi before she could commit murder.

When it comes to battles involving mountains and seas, although the outcome can be decided quickly, determining life and death is not such a simple matter.

Despite Ning Zhaoyi's combat strength being only at the eighth level of the Heavenly Ranking, she possessed an endless array of trump cards and a small number of Mountain and Sea Corpse Puppets, making her an existence that no one wanted to provoke on the Nine Heavens Battlefield.

Oh, Chenqian, how much longer are you going to keep this up? I really can't take it anymore!

Qu Bai maintained his usual calm expression, but inwardly he was screaming with grief.

"Consort Ning, tone it down a bit. If I were you, I wouldn't do such pointless things. What good would it do besides making mortal enemies?"

Standing on another stone pillar, Bai Fei glanced at Qu Bai's cold and repressed gaze, and shook his head at Ning Zhaoyi.

"Soul rival?"

Ning Zhaoyi chuckled, "Are you talking about Qu Bai, the coward who doesn't dare to make any move, or Shen Qian, the coward who hasn't shown his face yet?"

"I enjoy doing this kind of boring thing, so what?"

"If Shen Qian makes me unhappy, I'll torment his classmates and girlfriend. What can he do about it?"

Snap!

Ning Zhaoyi swung her long whip again, aiming it straight at Ding Yi, who was being attacked from both sides by the two tri-colored giants.

A muffled groan rang out as Zhao Keyi, who had arrived just in time, used his back to shield Ding Yi from the whip.

Unlike before, perhaps out of resentment, Ning Zhaoyi no longer controlled her strength. Zhao Keyi trembled as he was struck by the whip, his vital energy collapsed, and his swollen body shrank by more than half in an instant.

Just then, Ding Yi, who was preoccupied with his own problems, could no longer stop the three-colored giant from rushing up the steps and throwing a punch at Zhao Keyi, who was exhausted.

"Katsuichi!"

"Junior Brother Zhao!"

The remaining soldiers of the Jiangzhong Army around them roared with fury.

Unfortunately, their strongest cultivation level was only at the peak of the High Martial Artist realm, and they were too late to provide assistance. They could only watch helplessly as that mountain-like fist mercilessly smashed down on the back of Zhao Keyi's head.

"Hey, Qu Bai, watch out! If he dies, don't blame me. Who knew he was so weak?"

Ning Zhaoyi, who was watching the show from the back, shrugged innocently, but showed no intention of offering any help.

"Then you should die too."

Qu Bai, who was already on the verge of going berserk, unleashed a terrifying killing intent.
