Chapter 754: A Girl Will Doll Herself Up For He Who Loves Her (1/2)
Interrupting Zhang Biluo’s charged Heaven Rank, Yan Yizhen then used her Earth Rank Nine Yin Nine Yang Life And Death. Yin and Yang gathered, combining with her palms. Although Zhang Biluo’s body techniques were exceptional, it was difficult to display her technique when she had been seized by Yan Yizhen’s Yin Yang Life And Death. Thus, she was struck down by the Skilful Star’s palm attack.
For a Star General like Zhang Biluo who was superb with concealed weapons but weak in defense, Yan Yizhen’s powerful Earth Rank was already enough to drop her into the Star Nest. But Zhang Biluo surprisingly forced herself back up. All of her meridians were smashed by Yin Yang Life And Death, but the girl relied on her formidable willpower to avoid falling into the Star Nest.
Zhang Biluo was very aware that this was the final Star Duel. If she died, that would mean her master, Yan Wudao, would fall into a dangerous situation with no hope of reprieve, so…she absolutely could not fall into the Star Nest, at least not like this. The charming girl showing such strong willpower moved even Yan Yizhen. Faraway, Hua Wanyue’s charged Ten Thousand Li God Killing Arrow could not help but hesitate for a moment as well.
Zhang Biluo staggered forward, spreading her fingers again.
Between her fingers, dim green flames ignited, becoming eight rhomboid concealed weapons, the Asking Directions To Underworld Stones.
“Heaven Rank, Common Masses…Are…” With Zhang Biluo’s heavy injuries, there was completely no way for her to bear the power of using a Heaven Rank. The girl was very stubborn. The space around her vanished and shattered, then gathered up again.
If it was any other final Star Duel, Yan Yizhen would have allowed the Elder Sister Featherless Arrow standing before her to use her Heaven Rank “Common Masses Are Nothingness”1 to resolve her wish. But Yan Yizhen was acutely aware that this was not the final Star Duel, at least not for her master.
Song Jiang, who was perhaps an even stronger foe, was currently waiting at Maiden Mountain for him, so at this time, at least at this current time, any compassion or sentiments would be out of bounds of her conduct as a maid.
“Apologies.” The indifferent maid slightly sighed, showing regret and respect. Her victory in this battle against Zhang Biluo was entirely established upon Hua Wanyue’s suppression, the coordination between long and close range. If she had faced Zhang Biluo alone, she honestly would not have been a match.
The flower tattoo etched on her back shimmered, letting out crimson light together with Yan Yizhen’s vermilion eyes.
Her figure warped.
Her Yin Yang Palm sunk into the lethal point of her chest.
Her back of nothingness, the faintly discernible power and formidable willpower all crumbled in an instant, vanishing into thin air.
“She was a formidable opponent.” Hua Wanyue patted the taciturn Yan Yizhen. “As long as we can end the Star Duels, there will surely still be that day we can meet.”
Yan Yizhen grunted.
All of a sudden, they heard everyone cry out. They raised their heads to see a radical change in the Crimson Stars in the sky. Star after Crimson Star fell into Maiden Mountain, a scene that would make anyone have goosebumps.
“Oh, no.” Hua Wanyue’s smile vanished.
—
Fox of Voracious Admiration Hu Mi was somewhat conflicted. While the others and their Star Generals began to Stall Su Xing’s Star Generals, she herself was somewhat aloof. After teaming up with him against Li Taisui in the Crystal Dragon Palace and entering the Longevity Palace, much of her hostility towards Su Xing had been eliminated. Secondly, Su Xing’s declaration to end the Star Duels made her and Xu Jingshu somewhat moved. However, Hu Mi was nevertheless unwilling to join Su Xing’s Seven Stars Assembly like this.
While everyone else were conducting Star Duels, Hu Mi flew towards the Longevity Palace.
“Hu Mi!”
Xi Yue stood in front of her.
“Want to take revenge?” Hu Mi was indifferent. Golden Lancer Xu Jingshu raised her spear, baring her pure white teeth.
“You are not like the other Star Masters. On behalf of Sir, Lowly Servant wants to invite you to climb the mountain with us and end the Star Duels.” Xi Yue knew of Hu Mi’s might. Now was not the time to harbor grudges. The dangers of Maiden Mountain were unknown, and to have her and Golden Lancer would be very helpful to them.
“That you have not raised your hand, you should have some considerations, is that not true?” Xi Yue said.
Hu Mi remained silent.
“To not compete against Lin Chong or Wu Song, to climb the mountain like this is too uninteresting.” Xu Jingshu laughed.
Xi Yue was quiet. In terms of martial prowess, Zhang Feiyu was completely outmatched against the Golden Lancer.
“It would be better to allow Me to take the place of Yingmei and Siyou.”
A solemn voice faintly carried wind and thunder. A woman dressed in white Buddhist garb floated to Xi Yue’s side. This woman was pretty, possessing wavy golden hair. Her eyes were calm, solemn and majestic.
“So you are the Solitary Star. An honor to meet at last.” Xu Jingshu looked at Lu Shaqing and respectfully nodded.
The Solitary Star practiced chan, placing herself outside the Star Duels, untainted by the slightest bit of killing intent.
“Then how about this. Hu Mi shall seize Little Sister Xi Yue and blackmail Su Xing to join his Seven Stars Assembly.” Hu Mi covered her mouth, smiling craftily. “This way, Hu Mi can avoid disgracing the Purple Firmament Immortal Palace’s name.”
“Fine, however, if you are defeated by Lowly Servant, then you shall be Sir’s concubine, the lowest one at that.” Xi Yue harrumphed without showing weakness.
Their bet was one of dignity.
A girl will doll herself up for he who loves her. There was nothing higher than this.
Hu Mi and Xi Yue’s eyes were like lightning, shooting sparks.
“Interesting. We shall we who conquers who then.” Xu Jingshu laughed. Her Golden Hooked Soul Snatching Lance thrust towards Lu Shaqing. Lu Shaqing brought out the Devil Sealing Crescent Moon Chan Staff to intercept.
As if divine warriors had bumped into each other, there was a burst of glaring sparks, as if a miniature sun had suddenly exploded. Xu Jingshu’s body sank, her wrists were numb, and she nearly lost grip of her spear. She immediately drew back under the intense light.
This Solitary Star Flowery Monk was indeed of relentless brute strength.
Xu Jingshu shouted. Her True Phoenix Realm wings extended, and her Dark Technique “Gold And Stone Splitter” activated. A golden ray burst out of the spear, slashing directly at Lu Shaqing’s head. Lu Shaqing could not avoid it completely in time and was struck in the shoulder by the spear-light.
