In that instant, Qiao Xueying understood everything. This guy had recognized her from the beginning, and everything just now was just an act, waiting for her to lower her guard before assassinating her.
At first, I planned to treat the other person like a fool and make fun of them, but in the end I found out that I was the fool. The huge difference in that moment would drive anyone crazy.
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +1024!
She lightly touched the ground with her toes and quickly caught up with him, determined to tear him to pieces today to vent her hatred.
Zuan ran at top speed, only to find that even with the Sunflower Illusion buff, he was still far slower than his opponent. If it weren't for the complex environment of the forest, he would have been caught up long ago.
After running for a while, Zuan took advantage of a blind spot in the other party's line of sight and quietly hid in a tree, concealing his presence and waiting for the other party.
Qiao Xueying quickly caught up, but suddenly realized that the other person had disappeared from her sight. Her pace gradually slowed down. As she strolled through the woods, she said calmly, "You, surnamed Zu, I have to admit that your strength is indeed beyond my expectations. However, you shouldn't have chosen to escape into the woods."
Zu An was taken aback, thinking that he had previously used the complicated environment of the forest to deal with Jia Zhengjing and his three men, and now he was planning to use the same trick again.
"Have you forgotten which type of ability I awakened?" As soon as Qiao Xueying finished speaking, she casually flicked her hand, and the fallen leaves on the ground instantly moved without wind. Each soft leaf turned into the sharpest blade and shot towards the location of Zu An.
Zuan was taken aback and quickly jumped down from the treetop, holding a sword horizontally in front of his chest. He looked at her in surprise: "You can sense my presence?"
Qiao Xueying did not rush to make a move this time, but said calmly, "Every tree and every blade of grass in this forest is my eyes and ears. Where can you hide?"
Zuan's expression finally changed. If that was really the case, then running into the mountains and forests would truly be like walking into a trap. But could someone who had awakened wood-type abilities be this powerful? He had never heard of anyone else having such strong abilities.
"What was that sword strike you just used? Why did it give me a sense of fear of death?" Qiao Xueying asked in a deep voice. This was a question that she couldn't understand at all. Logically speaking, given the difference in strength between the two sides, the opponent's attack might not have even been able to break through her defenses.
"Want to know? Just call me 'good brother' and I'll tell you," Zu'an said with a grin, while his mind raced, trying to figure out how to respond.
Qiao Xueying's face turned cold: "It's been so long, your mouth is still as annoying as ever."
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +400!
Zuan sighed, "It's been a while, and your words haven't gotten any sweeter."
Qiao Xueying snorted, slowly raising her fingertips as leaves danced around her: "I'll break your arms and legs, then let's see if you'll still be so stubborn."
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and four leaves shot towards his limbs, arriving almost in the blink of an eye.
Zu An dodged the attack with a swift movement, a cold sweat rising on his back. If it weren't for his Sunflower Illusion, he would probably have been riddled with holes by the arrows.
He dared not stay put and passively take the beating any longer. Instead, he transformed into a blur and attacked his opponent. He had switched to a normal sword. He would save the Death Dagger for critical moments. If others knew its properties and were on guard, the threat would be much less.
"Huh?" Qiao Xueying couldn't even see what was going on with the opponent's strange movement. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew backward, but the opponent's sword still followed her like a shadow.
Qiao Xueying snorted and casually scattered leaves around her. Countless leaves fluttered around her like dancing butterflies, blocking his attacks one by one.
Zaun tried countless angles, but still couldn't break through the opponent's green leaf barrier.
Qiao Xueying's voice rang out: "It's clearly the most common beginner sword technique in the academy, yet it has such power in your hands. It seems that Yuan Wendong's defeat was not unjustified."
She was even more shocked. If it weren't for the huge difference in their cultivation levels, she probably wouldn't have been a match for his sword technique in a direct confrontation.
Of course, she didn't want to say these things aloud, lest that guy become even more smug.
"But now it's all over!"
Upon hearing Qiao Xueying's voice, Zu An knew something was wrong and quickly retreated. Countless vines on the ground grew rapidly in the wind, winding and sweeping towards him like a giant snake.
Zuan kept dodging using his movement techniques. Is this the true strength of a fifth-grade cultivator? As expected, being able to use elemental power will crush lower-level cultivators by a large margin.
It seems that if he hadn't prepared an electromagnet beforehand to break Yuan Wendong's flying sword on the stage, no matter how amazing his "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" was, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat him.
Zuan moved faster and faster, but the forest was full of vines that seemed to have come alive, weaving together into a large net. Where could he hide?
During one of his falls, a tree branch on the ground suddenly turned into a rope, catching him off guard and causing him to lose his balance. Then, he was bound to a large tree by countless vines.
The sword in his hand had already been knocked away. He tried with all his might to break free, but even with his face flushed red, he failed.
Qiao Xueying slowly walked up to him, a faint smile on her lips, a victorious smile: "Why aren't you running anymore?"
Zuan was quite frank, replying, "Since you want me to stay so much, how could I possibly let you down?"
