C72 (1/2)
The mysterious expert who had never shown his face?
However, the people from the various families, as well as the TianChu Martial Academy, did not know that the mysterious expert hiding in the shadows did not even exist!
No one knew, but Chu Qingcheng knew that this mysterious expert was actually one that Xia Xinghe had created using her unique innate technique!
Hence, Chu Qingcheng couldn't retreat. Even if she had to fight to the death, she couldn't. This was because the savior that everyone was waiting for didn't even exist!
Taking in a deep breath, Chu Qingcheng involuntarily pulled out the pill given to her by Xia Xinghe right before the duel with Xue Long. The pill, Instantaneous Spirit Pill!
Tightly clenching her jade-like palms, she could feel the calmness of the Instantaneous Elixir Pill in her hands. At the same time, a look of determination flashed past her beautiful eyes.
”When Young Master Xia was still at the eighth level of the Celestial Shift Mirror, a Soul-Splitting Pill had allowed him to reach the third level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror. If I took the Soul-Splitting Pill, would I be able to fight against Zhou Yu?”
”As long as we can defeat the leader of the Sky Chu Martial School, Zhou Yu, then the crisis will be over!”
”However, if the Shun Ling Pill is unable to help me defeat Zhou Yu, then I will be like Young Master Xia back then. After ten breaths' time, my spirit energy will be completely drained and I won't even have the strength to stand anymore!”
”Eat, or not eat?”
In Chu Qingcheng's heart, she was silently considering whether to consume the Instantaneous Spirit Pill or not.
Whether or not he ate the Spiritfount Pill was a huge gamble.
If they won the bet, then Chu Qingcheng's spirit energy would skyrocket and she would be able to kill Zhou Yu within ten breaths of time. That day, the Chu Clan's side would fall into chaos and would even retreat on their own!
If she lost, then within ten breaths of time, Chu Qingcheng wouldn't be able to defeat Zhou Yu. That would mean that she would be in a weakened state. Not to mention Zhou Yu, even an ordinary Heavenly Palace Mirror martial artist would be able to easily kill her!
Moreover, other than these two situations, there was a third. Chu Qingcheng had killed Zhou Yu within the span of ten breaths, but Luo Cheng and the rest did not retreat. At that time, the Lan Clan would have no one to fight against.
After considering the situation, Chu Qingcheng finally came to the conclusion that the probability of helping the Lan Clan and Xia Xinghe to survive after consuming the Instantaneous Spirit Pill was only about twenty percent. However, Chu Qingcheng still wanted to give it her all and fight Zhou Yu to the death!
Just when Chu Qingcheng had made up her mind and was preparing to consume the pill, Luo Cheng, who was standing not too far away from her, suddenly took a step forward and dashed towards her in front of Zhou Yu!
”Iron Fist Luo Cheng!”
”Does he want to fight the Grand Princess?”
”Luo Cheng belongs to the second tier among the eight great instructors, and is even stronger than Han Du by a grade. Right now, the Grand Princess seems to have exhausted all her spiritual energy, so she can't be a match for Luo Cheng at all!”
”I heard that Luo Cheng's iron fists can break gold and shatter stone, and his body's strength has reached a terrifying level of invulnerability. His innate strength is a mid-tier star level bear's talent, and is able to increase Luo Cheng's strength, explosive strength, and physical strength.
”Rumor has it in the capital that one of the four leaders of the Shadow Army, Shen Liu, was turned into meat paste by Luo Cheng's fist!”
”If the rumors are true, even if the Grand Princess is in her best condition, she might not be able to defeat Luo Cheng, right?”
As Luo Cheng walked towards Chu Qingcheng, the crowd once again erupted into cheers. Similarly, just like before the battle between Han Du and Chu Qingcheng, no one believed that Chu Qingcheng would be able to win.
