Bai Shishi was still holding a single-handed stance, but her slender jade hand had turned golden, as if forged from gold.
The bone knife was firmly gripped by Bai Shishi, her long hair flying, her golden palace dress fluttering as she transformed into a golden goddess, sacred and inviolable.
Her jade hand gripped the bone blade. Lu Xiaoxian's face changed dramatically, veins bulging on his arms as he forcefully tried to snatch back. At the same time, a strange phenomenon behind him echoed with the sound of a tiger's roar, shaking the heavens. The arena trembled uncontrollably, as if it was about to shatter under his command.
But no matter how much he exerted his strength, the bone blade seemed to grow in Bai Shishi's hand, unshakable in the slightest.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, Bai Shishi's jade-like hand glowed, and from her palm flowed golden liquid. The bone knife, covered in semen, also turned golden.
"You ..."
Lu Xiaoxian was both shocked and furious, but before he could finish, he quickly let go and retreated, not even abandoning the bone knife.
As he stepped back, the golden liquid completely enveloped the bone knife, then melted away, and the bone blade disappeared along with it.
"Pfft"
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxian spat out a mouthful of blood. The bone knife was connected to his soul, and with the bone blade destroyed, he was injured as well.
He was both hated and furious, gritting his teeth. After all, that bone knife was a huge benefit to him.
"Buzz"
Lu Xiaoxian's arms trembled, his blood energy surging to the sky. On his fists, two black tiger heads appeared, endless black energy swirling, releasing the Devouring Flame.
"Don't force me to kill you."
Bai Shishi stood on the ground, as if endless golden lava flowed beneath her feet, her eyes filled with coldness.
Lu Xiaoxian was gathering his strength, seemingly entering an even more terrifying state, but as soon as Bai Shishi spoke, his expression changed again.
Because the moment Bai Shishi looked at him, a strong threat of death enveloped him. He seemed to sense the breath of death—an aura that was unbelievably strong.
For a moment, he didn't dare move, didn't dare to continue unleashing his power, but if he didn't act, he felt unwilling.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian caught in a dilemma, Long Chen shook his head and said, "This guy still doesn't understand what Bai Shishi means. He's really out of his mind." "
Bai Shishi destroying his bone blade was a warning to him. If he only managed to drive him back, he would definitely keep attacking.
And if she destroyed his bone knife, she hoped he would back down, because this was the third round of the competition, and Bai Shishi didn't want to reveal her trump card.
But if Lu Xiaoxian still doesn't know when to advance and insists on forcing Bai Shishi to use her trump card, then Bai Shishi will definitely kill her with overwhelming force and in the simplest and most brutal way.
Because in the Jiuzhou Grand Tournament, trump cards are the key to victory. If you reveal yourself early and the opponent is prepared, the effectiveness will be greatly diminished, and you'll never be able to win by surprise.
Bai Shishi looked coldly at Lu Xiaoxian, and Lu Xiaoxian looked back at her. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes showed hesitation.
He wasn't a fool; he knew Bai Shishi's plan. If because of him, Bai Shishi would reveal her trump card, and Bai Shishi would vent her anger on him and go all out to kill him.
He felt uncertain because Bai Shishi gave him a strong sense of danger.
Not fighting was unwilling; although he lost the bone blade, he still had other powerful moves he hadn't used, and perhaps there was still hope for victory.
Now he was caught in a dilemma, with countless powerful figures outside watching him. To flee without a fight would be utterly humiliating and would make him the laughingstock of the entire arena.
Time passed bit by bit, and Bai Shishi gradually grew impatient. She snorted coldly, slowly formed a hand seal with one hand, and a pattern slowly appeared beneath her feet.
As soon as the pattern appeared, Lu Xiaoxian's expression suddenly changed. He said coldly, "Enough, I only have a grudge against that Long. I'll let you do this time. Go back and tell Long Chen that I will come to retrieve his head." "
After saying this, Lu Xiaoxian actually gave up so easily, slipping out of the arena and causing an uproar throughout the arena.
"No way, he really admitted defeat?"
"That's the strongest in the Dark Tiger Alliance, the first bloodline awakener, and he just admitted defeat?"
"What the hell are you doing? How can you admit defeat on an arena like this?"
For a moment, countless people couldn't help but curse loudly, because the duel between Bai Shishi and Lu Xiaoxian was the first battle between super powerhouses at the current Jiuzhou Tournament.
One was the strongest member of the Dark Tiger Alliance, the other was the top-ranked expert on the Lingxiao Academy Earth Ranking. People were filled with anticipation, waiting for a world-shaking battle, only to witness a match that started strong but ended weak, leaving countless people dissatisfied.
However, some seemed to see through the situation, because they saw Lu Xiaoxian's struggle. But as soon as the pattern beneath Bai Shishi's feet appeared, he immediately found an excuse to admit defeat, which was very strange.
"Unfortunately, that pattern flashed and vanished; no one knows what happened." Someone sighed.
Amid countless shouts and speculation, Bai Shishi returned to the viewing stands, where Lu Mingxuan, Luo Xue, and others all congratulated her.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Lingxiao Academy on the outer battle platform erupted in thunderous cheers. Bai Shishi had scared off the strongest member of the Dark Tiger Alliance with just one move, admitting defeat on the spot—a tremendous honor for them.
Bai Shishi scared off her opponent, but in the next two battles, both Luo Bing and Luo Ning were regretfully defeated.
Although the opponent wasn't the First Generation, their strength was terrifying. Both gave their all, yet still lost. The gap was just a gap—there was nothing they could do.
Luo Ning felt a bit uneasy after being defeated, but fortunately, Luo Bing comforted her kindly. With their strength, making it this far was already a lot of luck, and achieving such a ranking was already very fortunate.
The two sisters, Luo Xue and Luo Qing, faced formidable opponents, but they were super experts sent by the Luo family, specifically targeting the Chu family's fourth son. Their strength was terrifying. Even without activating the first-generation bloodline, they still easily defeated their opponents.
Although Mu Qingyun won, this time it was a narrow victory. If the opponent hadn't dared to risk a head-on fight, Mu Qingyun would have lost, because the opponent's strength was indeed above Mu Qingyun's.
Although Mu Qingyun won, he paid a huge price—his divine energy was depleted by seventy to eighty percent. He was nearly exhausted in this battle and probably couldn't continue fighting.
As for Long Chen, although the opponent was powerful, Long Chen had taken ten consecutive strongest attacks from him. Seeing Long Chen only defend without attacking, Long Chen couldn't shake him at all, knowing the gap was too great. Long Chen had already held back and surrendered directly after ten moves.
After the third round ended, except for the sisters Luo Ning and Luo Bing, everyone else rushed to the next round.
Half an hour later, the drum spun, and the fourth round of matching began. This time, Long Chen saw his opponent and showed a relieved smile, because the jade token in his hand bore a name: Chu Gan.
"Heh heh, we just caught this wave." A look of excitement appeared on Long Chen's face; he had been waiting for a long time.
