Chapter 45 Trap
“This road is blocked.” Ye Luo grinned, standing not far away and playing with a throwing blade.
Bai Ruoqian glared angrily at Ye Luo, "Don't forget, you were also inside the poison array!"
"I know, so we have to hurry!" Ye Luo put away the Xuanji Fan, and his spiritual power surged. Eight flying blades were unleashed at once, launching a fierce attack on Bai Ruoqian.
Eight?!
Bai Ruoqian's eyes widened in surprise. She suddenly unleashed several sword beams, deflecting the flying blades with a series of clangs. Several ice swords materialized around her as she shouted, "Ice Soul Technique - Rain Kill!"
Sharp ice blades shot out with a whoosh, and Ye Luo quickly jumped to dodge them. Taking advantage of this brief gap, she reminded the three who were still fighting, "Don't worry about him, all of you come this way!"
Seeing this, the three quickly broke free from Shi Li's entanglement and retreated into the woods.
But how could Ye Luo let them off so easily? She controlled eight flying blades to attack, and together with Shi Li's fierce attack rhythm, she relentlessly pursued and attacked them.
With a scream of agony, the Qingyang Sect disciple's shoulder was pierced by a flying blade, and bright red blood splattered out as he collapsed to the ground, groaning, "Ughhhhhh—!"
Not far away, Bai Ruoqian paused upon hearing the sound, muttering "Useless!" under her breath, "You two, hurry up and come over, or we'll be too late!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Xuanwu Palace and Qingyue Sect hesitated for a moment, then ran into the woods without looking back.
Seeing this, Shi Li was about to give chase, but Ye Luo stopped him, "Aren't you going to chase after them?"
"Hmm, we won't chase." Ye Luo grinned mischievously. "We should run out of the poison circle!"
"Damn bastard!" Bai Ruoqian ran sprinting through the complex forest, cursing Ye Luo as she went. Just as she was about to escape the poisonous formation, she suddenly saw a faint, almost imperceptible light flash ahead. She stopped abruptly and shouted sharply, "Watch out!"
"What's wrong?"
Bai Ruoqian looked at the almost transparent spider silk in front of her and sneered, "Hmph, just a little trick!"
She channeled her spiritual power into her sword and slashed at the haphazard spider silk in front of her, only to find that the spider silk was exceptionally tough, and the taut threads instantly severed the tree branches.
Suddenly, she heard several "click" sounds and saw several array boxes connected to the spider silk. She was immediately alarmed and shouted, "Run!"
But it was all too late. Pulled by the spider silk entwined in the forest, all the array boxes tied to them were opened, and beams of light illuminated the entire dark forest.
"Damn it, how come there's an array box here!" the Xuanwu Palace disciple roared, wielding his sword to cut the branches and vines that were wrapped around him.
"It's the Earth Prison Formation and the Wood Spirit Formation!" said a disciple of the Qingyue Sect, half of his body embedded in an earthen wall, struggling desperately to break free.
Bai Ruoqian escaped this calamity because she dodged in time, but she is still trapped in the formation and is bombarding it with various spells and talismans, trying to find an opportunity to break out of the formation.
"Junior Sister Ruoqian, please help us get out of here!"
Bai Ruoqian cursed inwardly, thinking that none of these people were reliable. After slashing down an attacking vine with her sword, she said, "I can barely protect myself, how can I help you!"
"Damn it, we're going to be too late!" a disciple of Xuanwu Palace exclaimed anxiously. The jade slip was gradually being eroded by the poison array, and the soul imprint on it was about to disappear.
The Soul Guide reminded him, "Stop dawdling, use that talisman."
Bai Ruoqian pondered for a moment, then nodded and took out a talisman, the Thunder Blade Talisman. She activated her spiritual power and struck the ground with it. In an instant, a crackling blue lightning flashed, shattering the magic array that had trapped them.
"Hurry up and go!" Bai Ruoqian felt a pang of pain on her face. She had originally planned to save this talisman for a critical moment, but she didn't expect it to be gone in just one preliminary elimination round!
That bastard Ye Luo!
Bai Ruoqian and the other two flew rapidly towards the outside of the poison array. Just as they were about to fly out of the circle, several whooshing sounds came from the air. She was shocked and nimbly spun around to dodge. Then, several loud "bangs" were heard.
The two people behind her couldn't dodge in time and were blasted into the poison array. As the soul imprint on the jade slip disappeared, the disciples of Qingyue Sect and Xuanwu Palace were filled with resentment and were forcibly teleported out of the secret realm.
"Perfect!" Ye Luo shouted from a distance, holding up her slingshot. "Yay! We won!"
Bai Ruoqian looked at the group of people in front of her. Besides Ye Luo and Shi Li, there were several other people from other sects. It seemed that they had just joined forces.
"Are you happy? Are you surprised?"
"Ye Luo, I'll kill you!" Bai Ruoqian trembled with rage, raising her sword to charge forward.
"Hey, don't bother, the match is over."
Only then did Bai Ruoqian notice that there were only eight people left, so the rankings of the top eight had already been determined.
"So what?" Bai Ruoqian had never been treated like this before. She raised her sword and was about to charge at Ye Luo when the group of people suddenly glowed and were instantly teleported out of the secret realm map.
When Ye Luo opened her eyes, she was greeted by deafening cheers, as well as shouts and curses from many sects, who were clearly very dissatisfied with her.
Ye Luo didn't care about any of that. He spread his arms and ran around the field like crazy, showing off his victory. This left everyone speechless, and then the shouts and curses became even louder.
He had no doubt that if they had rotten eggs in their hands, they might throw them at them.
Facing Bai Ruoqian's hateful gaze, Ye Luo, having finished showing off, returned to the rest area and said with a smug look, "Wasn't I amazing!"
"You little rascal!" Ming Cang's face showed relief. "In the end, I worried for nothing. I didn't expect you to be so clever."
"Ha ha ha ha--!"
Cen Feng, his face beaming with excitement, exclaimed, "You set up that array box so cleverly!"
"Fool, it's not a coincidence at all. Junior Brother took advantage of the rules of the poison array," Yu Qianling said with certainty. Based on her years of combat experience, she believed that everything was Ye Luo's meticulously planned scheme.
Ye Luo: "Hehe, I was lucky, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
“Luck is also part of strength.” Nan Muyin patted his shoulder and laughed, “But don’t do that next time, you have to be absolutely sure.”
"Okay! It won't happen again." Ye Luo knew that this time was indeed a bit risky, and if unexpected situations arose, things would probably get really bad.
This competition is different in significance, as it concerns the lineage of Peach Blossom Valley, and he should indeed take it very seriously.
At this moment, Shi Li and the others from Zhan Zong waved to them, and Ye Luo and the others nodded in response. Suddenly, a golden light flashed on the crystal tablet in the center of the arena, and the sect's score on it changed.
Zhan Zong: 10/10
Peach Blossom Valley: 10/10
Tianfeng School: 10/10
Ten Thousand Swords Sect: 10/10
Beast Control Sect: Ten points.
Huan Yin Men: 10/10
Huanhua Sect: Very good.
Thousand Medicine Island: 10/10
...
The results of the top eight sects' scores left the audience speechless, with many wondering, "Huh, why are there so many unfamiliar sects this year?"
"yes."
