The Qingtan Abode has now reached a crucial point.
Just moments ago, Dice Heart Lady was alluring and charming, but now she was showing an unprecedented level of dishevelment.
Her carefully styled high bun was now disheveled, and her dark hair clung tightly to her sweat-dampened forehead.
The seven-jeweled necklace around her neck was scattered on the ground, and the valuable filigree gold phoenix hairpin with pearls hung askew.
Most of the teardrops on the hairpin's tail fell away, and the remaining few swayed desperately among her tattered hair as she gasped for breath and dodged.
What's most shocking is her face.
The mask that bewitched all beings was torn open with a long rip!
It runs diagonally from the left forehead to the right cheek, like an ugly centipede crawling.
The real skin beneath the mask is exposed:
It lacked any delicate, flawless appearance; instead, it appeared unusually pale, even showing signs of sickly swelling.
The skin and flesh were rolled up, and tiny beads of blood could be faintly seen seeping out.
It mingled with sweat and trickled down, staining half of my face.
The dress, reaching her chest, was ripped open with several gruesome gashes by the blade's energy. A few tattered pieces of cloth hung from her arms, and the hem of the dress was stained with large patches of dirt and blood.
The allure and charm are gone, leaving only a wretched state. What can Xinniang do?
Her greatest strengths are speed and the use of poison.
The former will crash into an invisible wall every time it accelerates suddenly, leaving it nowhere to hide;
The latter has used countless toxins, but has yet to see any effect.
In contrast, the double swords' movements of illusion and reality, orthodoxy and unorthodoxy, become increasingly smooth and natural, with almost no obvious traces between them.
Yin Zhe keenly sensed that the breakthrough had reached a critical point.
She had rendered Dice Heart Mother's ultimate move useless, and now, the difference in their cultivation levels was no longer enough to put any pressure on Broken Ink.
This is not a good thing; it was so close...
Xinniang was forced into a desperate situation, but she was confined to a narrow range.
Despite appearing to be in a sorry state, they actually still have some resources to spare.
She had already probed the boundaries of the invisible wall, and this area had never shrunk in order to allow her to serve as a stepping stone.
With three sides and the top blocked off, there's only one way left.
No matter how hopeless that path may seem, there is no other choice!
The blade energy struck again, because on the verge of advancement, the distance and intensity of its extension were unstable.
This is not a flaw, but rather in accordance with the principle of "illusion and reality".
Xinniang pretended to be outmatched and retreated, her life hanging in the balance in this final gamble!
The next moment, her back suddenly slammed into the air wall.
But according to the calculation, there should still be three steps to go!
Has that person already lost patience?
With the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no choice but to release it. Xinniang's center of gravity dropped instantly, and then she unleashed her full power.
It moved with the speed of a powerful arrow, charging straight toward its opponent with unstoppable momentum.
In the raging wind, the iron fan suddenly shattered, and a large amount of smoke exploded, with the flames several times more intense than the first time.
At the same time, the sound of springs rang out rapidly, triggering countless hidden weapons in an instant.
not good!
Just as he raised his twin swords, he was met with a fierce impact, forcing Sui Mo to retreat repeatedly.
That's not all; a large number of flying needles shot out through the smoke and flames.
Despite suffering a heavy blow, Sui Mo's cultivation level was still inferior to that of the fourth-rank Dice Heart Maiden, and her true qi condensation was still not as good.
She knew that the Sixth Prince was behind her, and she knew that with Yin Zhe protecting him, the Prince would never be hurt.
But this time, she didn't want to rely on others!
He stomped his left leg to stop his retreating body, gritting his teeth and instantly unleashing his true energy to its maximum.
The clanging and banging sounds were incessant.
He wielded his twin swords with impenetrable speed, creating a wall of internal energy.
Pierce through, patch it up, pierce through, patch it up... Faster, faster!
In the blink of an eye, Sui Mo's internal energy was almost exhausted, and he finally managed to stop all the flying needles and hidden weapons.
Sweat poured down his face, and he was panting heavily, yet he stubbornly forced himself to stare at the firelight in front of him.
Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision, but in a flash, she finally caught sight of that figure.
Dice Heart Girl fled frantically, and as expected, there was no obstruction in front of her.
At this moment, he unleashed his speed to the extreme, aiming directly at the Iron Scale Buddha.
It wasn't just one person on the verge of promotion; both leaders of the Nine Gates were relegated to sparring partners.
Yes, Xinniang had already realized that the man on the other side had actually reached the edge of advancing to the Divine Martial Realm.
Opportunities are rare and hard to come by; if you miss this one, who knows how long you'll have to wait?
Therefore, the hidden Divine Martial Realm expert did not intervene in Iron Scale Buddha's battle.
The woman who had gambled her whole life was now risking her life on the edge of a cliff, hoping that the other party wouldn't be willing to ruin that opportunity.
It's getting closer!
A strong wind blew against her face, and Xinniang's expression became more solemn than ever before.
He forcefully changed direction just five steps away from the final circle of the two combatants, heading straight for the shattered glass wall.
So what if I ruin someone else's opportunity? The existence of a Divine Martial Realm expert is an insurmountable mountain.
Even if they joined forces with Iron Scale Buddha, they would have absolutely no chance of winning.
Therefore, Xinniang's goal was never their battle, but the Glass Wall.
Chengyuan was the culmination of the Nine Gates' hard work, and Qingtan Abode was not a meeting place chosen casually.
The only chance of survival lies here!
Closer now, the glazed tile wall is almost within reach.
Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, and her strong will to survive made her move as fast as lightning.
The next moment, everything changed abruptly!
The strong smell of blood rushed into her nasal cavity, causing Dice Heart Maiden's body to stiffen momentarily.
My gaze shifted abruptly, and the glass wall was nowhere to be seen; instead, it was that cold-faced man.
"Iron-Scaled Buddha! You deserve to die!"
The blood had completely drained from the face of the Iron-Scaled Buddha.
He instantly understood the Dice Goddess's intentions and, disregarding the cost, used a secret technique to switch their positions at the last moment when she was close to the glass wall.
At this moment, he was only one step away from the glass wall. Without thinking, he crashed into it.
The only chance of survival—the Iron-Scaled Buddha wants it!
The glass wall, which had originally cracked with spiderweb patterns from the center, has now completely disintegrated.
The wall behind it was as thin as paper, and it too was riddled with holes.
With a muffled thud, a thick, black liquid seeped out from all over the hall.
The building materials of Qingtan Abode were filled with Western Region Fire Dragon Oil, and breaking the glass wall would trigger the mechanism.
boom!
The retreat was instantly engulfed by a blinding, almost pure white, blazing light.
Wherever the light reached, it seemed as if the air itself was ignited, emitting a strange, sizzling sound.
The expensive, snow-white plush carpet turned into fine ashes without even a wisp of smoke rising, licked by the white flames.
The air was distorted by the extreme heat, and everything in sight was shaking and deforming wildly, as if falling into a furnace-like illusion.
Dice Heart Girl collapsed in despair.
It's over...it's all over...
