This man was also shocked as he finally realized something was wrong at the same time.
He wanted to stop that force from continuously entering his body, but he shockingly discovered that he couldn’t control oy.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Force still entered his body crazily.
His entire body was burning, and his face was blood red. The force in his body toppled, and he continuously spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
He hurriedly and clumsily wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, but he saw that his sleeves were already drenched in blood from the corner of his eye.
That’s… the blood from my arm! He hurriedly rolled up his sleeve and saw that his elbow had a very long bloody opening that appeared at some point.
Fresh blood was oozing out of it, and it quickly drenched his sleeves.
“W-what’s going on…” muttered the man softly, and his face had a horrified expression. Then, he suddenly realized something and turned around to run.
He wanted to return to the middle, but before he could run much, he collapsed onto the ground.
He struggled to stand up, but he left messy bloodstains on the ground. The violent force had started to rip apart the other parts of his body.
The man was quite a distance away from the middle of the two skies. Based on his strength alone, it was very difficult for him to get back in time.
Then, he surveyed his surroundings and finally saw Chu Liuyue.
“P-please… please help me…” He called for help anxiously and weakly.
Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze and continued to walk forward. She didn’t have much sympathy, especially toward those who were very greedy. Since he dared to join this Wan Zheng Competition, he should’ve made appropriate preparations. He can only blame himself for reaching this state.
“Help m-me… I can repay you…”
Chu Liuyue didn’t even turn around.
That miserable cry for help gradually became vulgar scoldings. However, the voice quickly turned into cheers of surprise. “…T-thank you! I really don’t… know how to thank you…”
Chu Liuyue turned and glanced.
A woman in white walked to that man and helped him up. She gently said, “Are you okay? Can you walk?”
That man said gratefully, “I-I… May I trouble you to help me back… I c-can’t stay here…”
As he spoke, he bled even more.
That woman smiled gently. “Sure.”
Then, she suddenly whipped out some rope from her sleeves and tied that man up.
She had just arrived here and was much stronger than that man. Besides, the man wasn’t alert at all and was easily tied up by her.
“Wh-what do you want?!” He yelled harshly when he realized something was wrong.
However, that woman moved her wrist and slammed that man against the ground.
Bang!
A low sound was heard.
The back of that man’s head slammed against the ground heavily. He was in so much pain that his entire face paled.
That woman still looked very elegant and magnanimous. “Didn’t you want me to help you? I’ll help you.”
She then used the rope and dragged that man inside.
A long bloodstain was drawn on the ground.
That man never expected that this lady—who looked kind—was actually so vicious. He wanted to scold her, but he realized that his mouth was filled with blood and that he couldn’t utter a single word.
It was as if something was stuck in his throat. He could only make out a few sounds before the commotion gradually died down.
After being dragged for a distance, he finally fainted.
That woman stopped, walked forward, and planned to check his breathing.
The green copper pearl on that man’s hand suddenly glowed and wrapped him up.
That woman hurriedly moved backward.
After the glow disappeared, that man’s figure disappeared as well.
Only his bloodstains that hadn’t dried up were left on the ground, which was proof of what had happened here earlier.
“Count yourself lucky!” said that woman indignantly. Even though I couldn’t kill him, at least he was chased out of the competition. Each one eliminated counts!
She turned around and saw Chu Liuyue.
The two of them stared straight into each other’s eyes.
Panic rapidly flashed across that woman’s eyes. I completely didn’t notice this person before. Did she see everything previously?
Chu Liuyue sized her up from head to toe. Given her way of dressing, she seems like she’s from Xuan Feng Hall.
She couldn’t help but smile. Her scheming and cunning temper is really inheritable!
Xuan Feng Hall’s master was very harsh and had fought with her openly and secretly many times. Now, she actually met someone from there again.
Besides, this woman’s face looks familiar…
That woman’s expression changed rapidly as she welcomed Chu Liuyue’s scrutiny. She smiled and said, “I recognize you. You’re Chu Liuyue, right?”
Chu Liuyue had only arrived at Xi Ling for two or three days, yet she was already very famous. She wasn’t shocked that this woman recognized her.
She nodded and asked in return, “You are?”
She said with a smile, “I’m Ning Jiaojiao.”
Chu Liuyue finally realized something as she recalled this person’s identity: Xuan Feng Hall’s master—Ning Binghai’s only daughter, Ning Jiaojiao!
She actually came?! Chu Liuyue was a little surprised.
Ning Jiaojiao could only be considered as pretty, so she was easily neglected in the crowd. Besides, even though her talent was decent, all those that entered the Wan Zheng Competition were outstanding geniuses.
She also didn’t perform very well in the previous day’s preliminaries, so Chu Liuyue didn’t notice her.
Seeing that Chu Liuyue didn’t speak, Ning Jiaojiao felt guilty. “I… I just wanted to bring him out, b-but…”
She wanted to find a reason, but she didn’t know how much Chu Liuyue had seen.
Chu Liuyue smiled. “Arent there only the two of us here?”
Ning Jiaojiao was dazed and then smiled. “Right, right!”
Chu Liuyue never liked causing trouble for herself, so she swiftly pulled herself out of the situation.
Ning Jiaojiao clearly heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Liuyue spoke. “I have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
Then, she turned around and wanted to leave.
“Hold on!” Ning Jiaojiao suddenly called Chu Liuyue back.
Chu Liuyue looked at her. “Ms. Ning, do you still have something else to say?”
Ning Jiaojiao had already recovered her usual gentle and magnanimous expression. While she walked forward, she said, “Ms. Chu, don’t you find that this place is very strange?”
“It’s okay, I guess.” Chu Liuyue looked around.
She really didn’t expect her ancestor to leave such a place behind. But after the initial shock, she felt relieved when she recalled how her ancestor had ruled the heavens and achieved so much on the battlefields.
The smile on Ning Jiaojiao’s face froze. ‘It’s okay, I guess?’ What does this mean? Is she saying that I’m inexperienced, or does she not want to talk to me?
Ning Jiaojiao couldn’t accept either of the two. She suppressed her inner anger and smiled slightly. “Ms. Chu, look, this place is deserted and quiet, and there are strange things everywhere. Why don’t we form an alliance?”
Chu Liuyue nonchalantly looked at her. Does Ning Jiaojiao think that everyone in the world doesn’t have a brain?
“No need. I still need to find someone, so we can’t go together.” Chu Liuyue then wanted to turn around to leave.
Ning Jiaojiao paused and said, “Since this is so, I have a casual question to ask. What relationship do you have with Dragon Teeth Mountain’s Jian Fengchi?”
