Chapter 88: Were you tricked?
Why can't it be me?
"What can you do all by yourself?"
Cen Feng glanced discreetly at the distance, manipulating the puppet to prepare for an attack. "Dealing with you is more than enough."
"Hmph, what arrogance!" Su Yuyuan sneered. "Today, let's settle both old and new scores!"
The group charged aggressively towards Cen Feng. Seeing this, Shi Yi carried Du Jiaoxi out of the battle zone, saying, "Be careful!"
After he finished speaking, he and his younger brother Shi Li joined the battle, and the two sides began to fight fiercely again.
Du Jiaoxi leaned against the rock wall, concealing a smile from the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, she looked warily into the dense forest and saw Feng Yue make a hand gesture towards her.
She paused for a moment, then understood. She quickly left her original spot and jumped to the top of a high rock to observe the battle below. "Goodness, that's pretty cunning."
Feng Yue found a spot with a good view, took out a crossbow from his storage bag, and aimed it at Su Yuyuan and the others who were fighting in front of him.
With a whoosh, a burst of spiritual energy struck Bai Gulan, sending her flying backward and crashing into a stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Cen Feng was overjoyed and manipulated the puppet to give it a good beating. In a short while, the puppet lost its fighting ability.
Immediately afterward, two more "whoosh" sounds rang out, and two more disciples of the Qingyang Sect were also hit. Cen Feng turned to the stunned Shi brothers and said, "Don't worry, they're our own people. Quickly take them down!"
"Alright!" The two brothers dispelled their doubts and suddenly went all out to finish off the two disciples of Qingyang Sect. Immediately, the cries of pain were heard from the two disciples.
"Depend on!"
Su Yuyuan realized at this moment that things were going badly. The person in the forest must be Feng Yue. He gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable villain!"
"When you gang up on the few, why don't you call it despicable?" Du Jiaoxi sat on the rock watching the show, her face full of mockery.
"You bitch! I'll get you sooner or later!"
"Given your current situation, where do you get the confidence to say that?"
Su Yuyuan's face turned ugly upon hearing this. The situation was indeed dire. He was not only surrounded by three people, but all his escape routes were also blocked by the puppets.
He cursed inwardly, "Why am I so unlucky?"
You can run into people from Peach Blossom Valley everywhere you go!
Little did he know that this was the result of information being leaked from outside the secret agency.
The people of Peach Blossom Valley burst into laughter as they watched the battle unfold within the secret realm, while the people of the Heavenly Wind Sect wore grim expressions.
They were cheering just moments ago, but in the blink of an eye, the situation has changed dramatically, and they have become the targets of the hunt.
As expected, Su Yuyuan was subdued in no time and pinned to the ground, cursing and swearing. He ended up getting a beating and could only submit to their tyranny.
"All done!" Cen Feng said, then turned towards the woods and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, come out quickly."
Feng Yue responded softly and walked out of the forest, holding a strange magical artifact in his hand.
"This thing is actually quite effective." Cen Feng picked up the crossbow in Feng Yue's hand and played with it, asking, "When did you make it?"
"I refined it last time in the sect, according to the blueprints given to me by my junior brother."
"This magical artifact is quite nice." Shi Yi took the crossbow artifact. "How about getting me one next time?"
"Yes, that's fine... but you have to give me the materials."
"You despicable people... I will never let you get away with this," Su Yuyuan hissed in pain.
At this moment, Du Jiaoxi jumped down from the rock and walked towards the people who were paralyzed on the ground one by one, scavenging the soul jade slips from their bodies.
Why is it that you always say the harshest things, yet you get the worst beatings?
Du Jiaoxi smiled, tossed the jade slip in her hand, and said, "Because you really have no brains."
"You vile woman, I'll kill you!" Su Yuyuan's face was full of hatred. For some reason, he suddenly unleashed a burst of spiritual power and attacked Du Jiaoxi.
"You dare!" Shi Yi was extremely anxious. He quickly pulled Du Jiaoxi into his arms, and her soft lips inadvertently brushed against his firm chin. The touch made him catch his breath, and all the muscles in his body began to tense up.
"Are you...are you alright?"
At this moment, Du Jiaoxi looked up at him, her soft, boneless fingers pressed against his chest, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented allure. She suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "It's nothing, thank you, Brother Yi!"
Everyone was so shocked by what they saw that they coughed lightly and awkwardly looked away.
Shi Yi had never been teased by a woman like this before. Instantly, his blood rushed to his head, and even his breathing became rapid.
Seeing this, Du Jiaoxi chuckled softly, a triumphant smile in her eyes, and leaped towards a rocky peak.
Cen Feng and the others exchanged bewildered glances, unable to understand what she was up to. Suddenly, Feng Yue realized something was amiss. "She...she took all the jade slips!"
"Holy crap!" Cen Feng finally realized what was happening and glared at Du Jiaoxi high up. "Hey, you're not planning to hog it all, are you?!"
Du Jiaoxi covered her mouth and smiled, tossing the seven jade slips in her hand, "Thank you all for your generous gifts, especially Brother Yi!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi was stunned for a moment and touched his chest. Only then did he realize that the soul jade slip in his arms had been taken away by her at some point.
"You—!" Shi Yi was so angry that his face turned red, and he pointed at her and couldn't say anything for a long time.
He hated it!
I knew I shouldn't have trusted her so easily.
Seeing that his brother had been tricked, Shi Li stepped forward and angrily said, "You woman, how could you be so despicable!"
"Hmph, serves you right!" Su Yuyuan said sarcastically, which earned him a beating from Shi Li.
Du Jiaoxi took Shi Yi's jade slip, kissed it on her red lips, and chuckled, "The cultivation world is fraught with danger and peril, and there are countless cunning people. I'm just trying to teach you a lesson out of kindness."
"Hehe, goodbye!" Du Jiaoxi crushed all the jade slips in her hand, and Shi Yi was forced out of the secret realm.
Outside the secret territory.
Shi Yi returned to the Zhanzong's preparation seat with his head down, and inevitably received another scolding from the elders. Thus, in addition to the grudge of being kicked in the groin, another debt was added to his heart.
"This woman is indeed not to be underestimated." Ye Luo looked at the leaderboard in the arena. Du Jiaoxi's ranking points had soared to the top because of her recent kills.
At this moment, Su Yuyuan was helped back by the people of Tianfeng Sect. Looking at Fu Zhenghan's gloomy face, he would surely be scolded again.
Ye Luo's guess was correct. Su Yuyuan's repeated defeats in the competition had already angered Fu Zhenghan, who gave him a cold look and then turned away.
"Second Senior Brother, is your injury alright?" Bai Ruoqian stepped forward to support him, her small face full of worry.
"Junior Sister... I think I've messed things up again." Su Yuyuan lowered his head, not daring to look at her. Originally, he intended to redeem himself this time, but he hadn't expected...
"Senior brother, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, you don't need to worry about it too much." Bai Ruoqian glared at Ye Luo and continued, "It was all the people from Peach Blossom Valley who stirred things up, they are so hateful!"
"The people in this sect are all despicable!" Su Yuyuan said through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot, a deep hatred welling up in his heart.
Seeing this, Bai Ruoqian smiled and took his arm, saying, "Senior brother, you should go back and recover from your injuries."
"Um."
Looking at Bai Ruoqian's gentle expression, Su Yuyuan felt as if a warm light had shone into his heart, instantly dispelling the coldness in his heart. He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.
"Let's go."
