As soon as the words fell, Wu Yang fell silent once more.
Everything Jun Lin had said weighed on her immensely.
After thinking it over, Wu Yang said, "Then how do you plan to break this deadlock?"
"Killing is the best way to break a deadlock!"
Jun Lin gazed ahead calmly. "The competition between prodigies is often far simpler and more direct than struggles in court."
"Kill the other side, and we win this wager."
"But everyone only gets one chance to strike. Once you fail, you'll face the enemy's counterattack."
"As fellow prodigies, barring special circumstances, the gap between our strengths is not that great."
"What truly decides victory or defeat is whether, during the clash, one has an unexpected trump card the opponent never saw coming."
"Besides, we are currently at a disadvantage in strength, so we must be even more cautious."
"Once we expose our trump cards too early, our only end will be total annihilation."
Pfft!
As they spoke, a line of blood suddenly shot from Chen Xiao's arm.
Seeing this, Ruan Su Xian asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. Senior Cui's sword Dao is tempering my body, but my body seems to have already adapted to Senior Cui's sword Dao."
"Within three months, I need to find a suitable Great Dao to continue tempering myself."
"And if you can't find one?"
Ruan Su Xian asked instinctively.
Chen Xiao glanced at him and said flatly, "My flesh will explode, and I'll die!"
"Hiss—"
Before his words had faded, Chen Xiao's clothes tore apart, and his body swelled several degrees larger than before.
"There are no longer three months. I need to find a new Great Dao within two months."
"There isn't much time. Let's hurry."
With that, Chen Xiao accelerated through the air.
Mountain forest.
