681 Acrobatics (1/2)

At the sight of Bai Ze, the audience outside the field felt relieved. Although the fight had yet to begin, people seemed to have foreseen the result.

Compared to the three previous contestants, Bai Ze's deterrent force was much smaller. On the other hand, Wang Lu's prestige was much stronger than the previous few people combined. The difference in strength was so obvious that the result was already without a doubt.

Even in Area A and B, people had already begun to light up firecrackers to celebrate the victory in advance.

However, those with discerning eyes knew that, for the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, the difficulty of this match was probably still higher than the first three.

From Wang Lu's point of view, although he had obtained quite a high reputation in the Grand Competition, it didn't mean that his strength could far exceed the first three. Especially after Liu Li gained invincible defense in the first match by way of Same Body Insect, making her offense and defense equally invincible, meaning that her actual combat effectiveness definitely surpassed that of Wang Lu.

In fact, in the first three matches, Liu Li, Zhu Shiyao, and Quan Zou Hua… neither of them really went to battle 'one-on-one'. In each of their match, Wang Lu played a great role. Now that it was Wang Lu's turn to fight, who could support him then? As a matter of fact, there was none. Although many people had the mind to help him, it was very difficult for them to do it.

Bai Ze himself used to be the number two character in the Earth Immortal camp although this status was more or less due to the fact that only he dared to vote against their leader rather than his strength being ranked the second. However, there was no denying that he was indeed a top rank cultivator.

His record was bleak because after they woke up from their long sleep. his opponents were the Wang Wu and Wang Lu Master and disciple, and not that his strength was weak. If it were anyone else, it would've turned out entirely different.

Moreover, the man in black also put Bai Ze in the last position in this challenge, which showed his great trust in him. Only idiots dared to underestimate such an opponent.

Wang Lu, of course, was not an idiot. Therefore, from the moment he came on stage, he immediately increased his fighting intent, and then transformed it into a sincere smile.

”Hey, we meet again, I trust that you have been well since we last met, Little Bai?”

Bai Ze naturally did not pay attention to this frivolous provocation. Instead, he silently summoned out his magical treasure—the three golden seals.

Upon seeing this, Wang Lu was startled. After Bai Ze's tragic defeat to Wang Wu, learning from painful experience, he thought that his immortal treasure Negation Stamps did not have much of an advantage in Jindan Stage fight, so he hid them for a time. But now, he actually pulled out his negation stamps, which was indeed shocking.

”Oh my, you're still using this stuff, did you upgrade it?” Wang Lu said as he stepped forward, trying to capture those negation stamps by hand.

Bai Ze sneered. ”Try it and you'll know.” Then he launched his first seal.

Wang Lu turned his wrist to avoid the sharp edge and then approached the golden seal from the side, still trying to catch it by hand. However, Bai Ze's golden stamp changed its direction extremely fast. It drew an arc like a stream of light and circled behind Wang Lu.

Wang Lu waved his left hand backward and made a secret seal with his fingers, condensing out an invisible shield in between him and the stamp. However, when the golden seal touched the shield, it went through without a hindrance and undoubtedly fell into the palm of Wang Lu's left hand.

The next moment, from the elbow, Wang Lu's left hand turned grey and then disappeared like a phantom. However, at the same time, Wang Lu stepped forward and a phantom mirror image of him appeared behind him. The injury on his left arm remained in that phantom.

However, upon taking that step, Wang Lu saw two striking golden lights in front of him. They were the other two golden negation seals which flew simultaneously toward him.

At this time, he still didn't use a sword and instead used his body to welcome them. The two golden seals penetrated his chest unimpeded, leaving two three-inch square holes, which cut through Wang Lu's waist, splitting him into two.

The lower half fell to the ground and turned into gray sludge. The upper half flew straight into the sky and rapidly stretched in mid-air before completely transforming into human form.

”They've sure been upgraded, the targeting is good.”

Bai Ze snorted coldly, recalled three golden seals, and then frowned.

Just now, the attack and defense moves of the two men were very fast. In the twinkling of an eye, they had finished probing each other out.

Bai Ze's negation seal was much more improved compared to the original because the attacking method was more than ten times richer.

The original negation seal was a big one time all-out attacking move that could involve cause and effect. Every time he used it, Bai Ze had to spend a lot of strength—its lethality was, of course, without a doubt. However, in this Jindan Stage level fight, although this kind of immortal treasure had unbeatable lethality, its flaw could be found, which was the ease of it to be evaded. For example, in the first fight against Wang Wu, she avoided the obliteration effect of the negation seal reserve core. At the same time, the relative unwieldiness and slowness of casting out negation seal remained, making the method in fighting appear monotonous, which was not very economical.

After the negation seal improvement, the lethality was much weaker. When it previously touched Wang Lu's arm, it was only able to obliterate it, which was later offset by Wang Lu's phantom substitute. This was far less overbearing than the original negation seal.

However, the new version of negation seal was more flexible. Once an attack fails, it could continue to pursue the target. In addition, the effect of the negation seal would be different every time it hit. Some could erase the flesh, others could negate the magical power… Of course, some could specifically destroy the body protection treasure. The effect of each negation seal could be changed at any time, making it impossible to guard against. Previously, Wang Lu seemed to play down this effect, but it was actually like walking on a tightrope in high altitude.
