The dazzling blade light swept across, its trajectory so casual, yet it grazed Wu Yi's body at an angle from which he had no chance to defend.
Even if Wu Yi were completely unharmed, let alone the fact that he was seriously injured at this moment, he might not have been able to escape such a desperate blow.
"ah!"
Wu Yi screamed wildly, and after his eyes shifted several times, he finally revealed a look of dejection and pain.
Strangely, despite being caught completely off guard and supposed to be cleaved in two by the blade's edge, he emerged unscathed.
Not only that, but there was also a strong life force surrounding his body.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a loud "boom" was heard, followed by a violent yet mournful aura that suddenly filled the world.
Suddenly, Wu Yi's body shone brightly, and a monster, no more than four meters long, resembling a wild boar but covered with bright red scales, appeared in the void.
"It's the mythical beast 'Red Eye' from the Classic of Mountains and Seas!"
Many people are familiar with the monster illustrations in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so they can easily recognize the legendary monster on the list.
However, the Crimson Eyes, which should have been majestic and extraordinary, looked utterly miserable at this moment.
A huge, penetrating wound stretched from his forehead down his back.
"roar!"
Red Eyes let out a final mournful cry, glanced at Wu Yi one last time, and then its body transformed into specks of red light that scattered between heaven and earth.
Proud beasts like the Crimson-Eyed Demon Beast, once they perish, their souls and spirits are completely annihilated, leaving no chance for anyone to capture their primordial spirit after death.
Wu Yi was also filled with grief, reaching out as if to grasp something, but ultimately grasping nothing.
"A substitution technique—this is his natal demonic beast!"
The many powerful figures present finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but gasp.
Just as "Red Eyes" briefly appeared before to block a blow for Wu Yi, this time it directly took the life-or-death blow in Wu Yi's place.
No one expected that this "red-eyed" demon beast would be willing to sign such a life-and-death contract with Wu Yi. From this perspective, Wu Yi truly deserves to be called the youngest master of beast taming.
"Sink forward!"
Wu Yi roared, but reason ultimately prevailed over impulse. He turned to look at Shen Qian again, and then, with the power that the last bit of life force from the Red Eye was injected into his body, he moved and was a thousand feet away in the blink of an eye.
That speed was terrifying, even several times faster than the sinking just now.
Shen Qian frowned, perhaps realizing there was no hope of catching up, and stood still.
Wu Yi quickly disappeared into the depths of the horizon, while Shen Qian, almost without any hesitation, turned to look at Qin Xiaoke, who was in a state of panic.
With just one glance, Qin Xiaoke's body trembled, and she could no longer maintain her composure; the projection of the Great Dao behind her vanished in an instant.
But no one laughed at Qin Xiaoke.
Very few people can remain calm and composed in the face of death.
"I admit defeat before I sink!"
Perhaps fearing she wouldn't have enough time, Qin Xiaoke took a deep breath and spoke very quickly, "I swear by my ancestors that I will never oppose you again. I was not the mastermind behind the Jiangzhong military incident; it was only with my tacit approval that Consort Ning took advantage of my influence."
"I have never had the blood of any of the military personnel in Jiangzhong on my hands. You can verify that for yourself!"
"If you agree to a settlement, I am willing to offer martial arts resources worth one billion after the Nine Heavens War ends. In addition, I will tell you a secret about the Nine Heavens Battlefield, and I will also give you a key!"
Qin Xiaoke finished speaking a very long passage in just a few seconds.
Given the quick thinking of everyone present, they heard every single word.
For a moment, everyone was astonished and gasped in shock at what Qin Xiaoke had said.
As a descendant of King Qin Guang, Qin Xiaoke directly swore an oath based on her ancestor, which was an oath that couldn't be more poisonous than the one before.
There's no need to talk about perfect mental state or anything like that. If Qin Xiaoke dares to break her oath, needless to say, the Martial Arts Department will probably come out and kill her directly. After all... the prestige of the Nine Kings cannot be dishonored.
The martial arts resources worth one billion were truly an astonishing investment.
A billion!
Even if you sold yourself, you couldn't come up with that much money.
Chen Qian, who seemed about to make a move, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this. He stared at Qin Xiaoke with indifferent eyes, and after a few breaths, he reached out and said, "Give it to me."
Everyone was a little confused, but Qin Xiaoke, after a slight pause, realized what was going on, took out an antique-looking key from her waist, and threw it directly to Shen Qian.
Everyone then realized that this must be the key that Qin Xiaoke had mentioned.
Aside from a few people who seemed to understand, very few people knew what the key was for.
"Before sinking, this key..."
At this moment, Qin Xiaoke seemed to be about to say something, and just as everyone's spirits lifted, Shen Qian raised his hand and stopped Qin Xiaoke.
"I know."
The two simple words disappointed everyone.
Clearly, Qin Xiaoke had intended to share the so-called secrets about the Nine Heavens Battlefield with Shen Qian, but Shen Qian actually knew them!
How could he possibly know?
At this moment, Chen Qian, who was nestled inside the body, was also very confused. What did he know?
Unfortunately, until he made the deal with Qin Xiaoke just now, it was all controlled by the system, which left him completely baffled.
Suddenly, Shen Qian felt that he had regained control of his body. After thinking for a moment, he immediately called out to Qin Xiaoke, who was about to turn around and run away.
Like a frightened bird, Qin Xiaoke fled a hundred feet before turning around and warily staring at Shen Qian. "You... is there anything else?"
