Chapter 16 "Si Yao, give up, it's still..."
Upon learning that Si Yao, who had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage for many years, had already reached the Golden Core stage, not only the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, but also the elders, deacons, and the sect leader present were all surprised.
But they all knew that the outcome of this competition was a foregone conclusion, and that Yu Ke would definitely win against Si Yao.
On the arena, the two women clashed. Yu Ke's Red Lotus Whip drew out streaks of red energy, surging towards Si Yao like waves.
Each one is incredibly powerful.
Si Yao knew that Yu Ke wanted nothing more than to beat her to death.
After several rounds, Si Yao was already panting heavily. The vibrating energy in the air had already scratched her face, leaving a shallow wound from which bright red blood was slowly seeping out.
"Oh dear, Elder Siyao is dying."
There is a difference between the Great Perfection of the Golden Core and the Early Stage of the Golden Core.
"I think Elder Si Yao would be better off admitting defeat quickly. Senior Yu Ke has always been at odds with her, and I wonder if she will take this opportunity to kill him."
The disciples below the stage kept talking, but their eyes were fixed on the arena.
"Hey? Look, Elder Si Yao is fighting back!"
A voice rang out, and everyone's eyes were focused on Si Yao.
She flipped and leaped into the air, holding a cloud-patterned fan. Blue fluorescence gathered from all around, forming a huge fan-shaped light and shadow.
"Boom!"
The fan-shaped light and shadow emitted a sound like thunder, and then Si Yao and the fan-shaped light and shadow intertwined, becoming one with each other, directly approaching Yu Ke.
Yu Ke underestimated her opponent and was caught off guard, so she was forced to retreat repeatedly by Si Yao.
Before she could react, Si Yao twisted with the fan-shaped light and shadow, passing directly through Yu Ke's body.
On the Hehuan Sect's arena, Leng Fengzhenzhen and Si Yao finally appeared behind Yu Ke in a flash.
"puff--"
Yu Ke coughed up a mouthful of blood, her knees buckled, and she involuntarily knelt on the ground.
"coax--"
The entire audience was in an uproar. No one expected that Si Yao would unleash her most powerful killing move when facing Yu Ke, whose strength far surpassed her own!
"No way? What's wrong with Senior Yu Ke?"
"What kind of move was Elder Si Yao using just now? I actually thought it was kind of cool..."
"We're doomed, we're probably going to lose everything."
The referee on the stage began to shout: "If Yu Ke Ruo has not stood up before the three gongs have finished ringing, then Si Yao has won this duel!"
The gong sounded.
one time.
Two times.
The disciples who had placed bets below the arena were on tenterhooks; some looked tense, some looked dejected, and some looked empty-eyed.
They all seemed to be begging, "Senior Yu Ke, please stand up quickly!"
In the crowd, Xiao Yezi silently watched all of this, and his gaze toward Si Yao held an undisguised admiration.
Perhaps he never imagined that Si Yao would be able to turn things around in such a desperate situation.
The gong will be struck for the third time.
Si Yao breathed a sigh of relief, wondering to herself, "Has the Snowfall Courtyard been taken over by someone now?"
She turned her head and looked at Xiao Yezi in the distance.
Will her apprentice always belong to her?
"slow!"
However, unexpectedly, before the third gong rang out, Yu Ke actually stood up!
Her eyes were red as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "It's not over yet!"
Si Yao shuddered, took a step back, and steadied herself.
The entire audience erupted in cheers once again.
"I knew Senior Yu Ke wouldn't lose so easily!"
"Go, Senior Yu Ke!"
Their hopes were rekindled, and almost everyone wished for Si Yao to lose the match.
Looking at Si Yao, Yu Ke was furious. "It was just my carelessness that allowed you to take advantage of me. Si Yao, you don't really think you can defeat me, do you?"
She laughed heartily, her clothes billowing in the wind, her hair disheveled, and a constant stream of spiritual energy swirling around her.
Upon seeing this, Yan Yu, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, who had been sitting calmly at her seat, stood up excitedly, "Yu Ke, she actually broke through at this moment!"
"What?" Elder Qu Sui exclaimed in surprise. "Sect Master, are you saying that Yu Ke has now reached the Nascent Soul realm?"
Yan Yu was both surprised and delighted. She nodded frantically, "Good, good, good! My Hehuan Sect has gained another Nascent Soul cultivator. It is truly a great fortune for my Hehuan Sect!"
The sect leader had personally pointed it out, and under her approving gaze, Yu Ke became even more proud. "Just now, in the midst of the emergency, I stepped from the Golden Core stage into the Nascent Soul stage."
"Very good, very good." Yan Yu had said this phrase so many times, "Yu Ke, you are very good."
He received high praise from the sect leader, and the other elders offered their congratulations. The disciples below the arena were also in an uproar.
In the cold wind, Si Yao stood alone opposite Yu Ke, her hair disheveled in the wind, and blood still dripping from the wound on her face.
"Hey, Yu Ke, don't forget, we still have a competition."
Hearing Si Yao's words, Yu Ke turned to look at her, "What's the rush? I'll come and take care of you right away."
Having said that, Yu Ke suddenly stood up. At this moment, she was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, and her cultivation level was naturally much higher than Si Yao's. A Golden Core cultivator was like a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even so, Si Yao waved the Yan Yun fan again, chanting an incantation, and a fan shadow flew out of her hand like a sharp blade once more.
Seeing this, Yu Ke curled her lips into a cold smile, disregarding Si Yao's attack. She casually deflected Si Yao's attack.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Ke's spiritual energy surged and churned, and the red lotus whip in her hand roared as it hurtled towards Si Yao.
In an instant, Si Yao was hit by several attacks from the Red Lotus Whip, and wounds appeared on her arms and body. Her abdomen was also severely injured.
She couldn't help it; a sweet taste rose in her throat, and she spat out blood, staining her blue dress on her chest like a crimson rose floating in a blue ocean.
However, Si Yao never gave up. Even though the difference in strength was huge, she could not admit defeat.
She was hit by Yu Ke again, and her whole body tumbled in the air before finally crashing heavily to the ground.
My muscles and bones felt like they were breaking, tearing and aching.
She gritted her teeth, blood seeping uncontrollably from her mouth, and crawled forward one step at a time.
"Si Yao, give up. What are you still struggling for?"
Yu Ke looked down at Si Yao as if admonishing her, "Do you know that being too proud will only lead to suffering? Quickly admit defeat to avoid physical pain."
Si Yao weakly raised her head and saw Yu Ke's arrogant appearance, just like the scene she had seen in her dream.
In her dream, Yu Ke was in the same posture, and then easily took away her Fubuki-in.
give up?
Si Yao gave a bitter smile, her whole body trembling as she laughed, "Giving up is impossible, unless I die!"
She slammed her hand on the ring, using the momentum to leap into the air once more.
A strong wind blew, and Si Yao opened her arms, revealing a bluish-gray totem behind her, while the Yan Yun palm-leaf fan hissed incessantly.
Yan Yu's expression changed drastically, and she immediately shouted, "Si Yao, are you crazy? This is just a duel, not a fight to the death! Stop it now!"
Si Yao was using her last resort, burning out all her spiritual power, in a final desperate fight against Yu Ke.
Yu Ke's pupils contracted slightly, and she took a deep breath. "You really have gone mad. Do you want to die?"
However, Si Yao did not stop what she was doing. Finally, the spiritual energy and totem spun around, and suddenly lightning and thunder struck the heavens and earth.
Countless bolts of lightning burst forth from the totem that Si Yao had condensed, causing even the air to vibrate wildly.
The disciples below the arena turned pale. Those with shallow cultivation had already been blasted several feet away by Si Yao's magical energy.
"Boom!"
A dense network of lightning bolts, with overwhelming force, struck Yu Ke directly in the face.
With a loud shout, Yu Ke raised the Red Lotus Whip, and a red light imprint swept across the sky.
"boom--"
The two forces collided, and Si Yao was knocked back, feeling as if all the bones in her body were falling apart.
Is it still lacking something in the end?
Even though Yu Ke was coughing up blood, she was still able to continue fighting.
Si Yao's spiritual energy was exhausted, and she was about to collapse.
Yu Ke did not stop the Red Lotus Whip, preparing to deliver a final, fierce blow to Si Yao.
"Si Yao!"
From the corner came Qianxi's exclamation.
Yan Yu also shouted, "Yu Ke, stop right now!"
Si Yao smiled and closed her eyes.
She did her best.
Compared to her previous lazy and listless self, she has already done her best.
However, it's still a little short.
Si Yao was about to collapse. She was very aware of her own body and knew that she would likely be seriously injured and might even lose her life.
The pain in my lower abdomen was persistent.
But just as her entire body was about to touch the ground, an unknown force deep within her dantian supported her as she stood up.
Um?
Si Yao was puzzled, yet her entire body was beyond her control.
Her spiritual energy suddenly and rapidly revived, and her whole body was bathed in fluorescent light.
"Bang--"
She suddenly cast a spell, which even she herself didn't understand.
When he came to his senses, Yu Ke was already lying on the ground, seriously injured and unable to get up.
"What?"
The disciples below the arena screamed.
"What just happened? Wasn't Elder Si Yao about to lose? Why was it Senior Yu Ke who fell in the end?"
"A hallucination? This must be a hallucination!"
The wind stopped.
The sound of the gong rang out again.
After three attempts, Yu Ke still couldn't get up.
In the blink of an eye, to everyone's utter shock, the referee on the stage announced the result of the duel.
"Si Yao wins!"
The disciples clutched their heads and cried out, unable to believe the outcome.
Even the sect leader Yan Yu and several elders and deacons were very surprised.
Why did Si Yao turn the tide and win at the crucial moment?
Nobody could figure it out.
Only in the crowd did blood seep from Xiao Yezi's mouth, but no one noticed.
"This is outrageous! I've lost everything this time! My spirit stones!"
"With such high odds this time, that disciple from Fubukiin really got a great deal!"
"I'm so envious. If I had known Elder Yao would win..."
"You're such a know-it-all, shut up!"
The disciples were so angry that their faces turned red as they watched helplessly as the spirit stones went into Xiao Yezi's pocket.
The duel on the stage ended, and Si Yao quickly lost consciousness as everything went black.
When she woke up again, she found herself lying in her own bedroom, with all the spirit stones that Xiao Yezi had won laid out on a table not far from her bed.
Xiao Yezi, on the other hand, was fast asleep, lying on the table.
Si Yao was still in pain all over her body, but she forced herself to get up and walked with difficulty to Xiao Yezi's side, then draped her coat over him.
