Defeating the Strong with the Weak

As Pluto King's subordinate, Situ's combat power is unmatched in the Infinite Starfield, giving him a clear advantage. Once Situ eliminates the other sects and forces, they will naturally choose to join Pluto King' ranks, and the Infinite Starfield will then fall under Pluto King's sphere of influence.

"What a cunning old fox!" Li Wei thought for a moment, but couldn't refute it. Just then, Zhuo Qingxuan, who had been silent all along, stepped forward. She glanced at Li Wei first, then said to the Pluto King's avatar, "The Infinite Starfield has always been ruled by the Infinite Sect, and I am the current sect leader of the Infinite Sect. If it is in accordance with the wishes of my Infinite Sect... we are willing to submit to Li Wei."

Zhuo Qingxuan wasn't stupid; she heard the conversation between Li Wei and the Pluto King's avatar clearly. She vividly remembered the Pluto King Zhuo Qingxuan; his master had died in the Hades Theater, and it was said that the Pluto King had been a super expert long ago. What surprised her was that Li Wei had grown to the point where he could contend with the Pluto King. Based on these two alone, Zhuo Qingxuan naturally trusted Li Wei more, so she immediately expressed her opinion.

"I disagree!" Situ finally understood what was going on. He jumped out and stood on Pluto King' side. Now he had to cling to Pluto King's coattails no matter what, otherwise, if this Li Wei controlled the Infinite Starfield, he would be doomed.

"Since that's the case, then you shall have a contest with Situ. If you win, I will leave without saying a word, but if Situ wins, Li Wei, you shall give up this Infinite Starfield..." Pluto King said at this opportune moment.

A cold smile appeared on his face. It could be said that he held an absolute advantage in this competition. In a competition, the stronger party naturally has a greater chance of winning, and if the strength exceeds level three, the weaker party basically has no hope of victory. It can be said that Situ will win 100% of the time in his competition with Zhuo Qingxuan.

Hearing this, Li Wei frowned. Zhuo Qingxuan's combat power was only S5, which was much stronger than before, but she had no hope of winning against Situ, whose combat power had reached S8. Moreover, he did not have the Hades Fruit and could not immediately improve her combat power.

Similarly, Zhuo Qingxuan looked anxious. She only knew that the Infinite Starfield absolutely could not fall into the hands of Situ and the Pluto King. Compared to those two, she trusted Li Wei more. However, she had no hope of winning the contest proposed by the other party. She had just been defeated by Situ in just a few moves. How could she possibly win?

Situ, however, under Pluto King's glare, laughed heartily and jumped out, looking smug. "Sect Leader Zhuo, this competition is perfectly fair. The ruler of the Infinite Starfield is naturally the most capable. If you're afraid, you can just admit defeat to avoid losing to me later and embarrassing yourself as the Sect Leader of the Infinite Sect, hahaha!"

At this moment, Situ was completely smug and self-satisfied. Zhuo Qingxuan was filled with resentment, but there was nothing she could do. She really hated herself for being so weak. If she were stronger, she wouldn't have been bullied like this.

As for improving to the level of defeating S8-level Situ in a short period of time, it was an impossible task no matter how you looked at it. For a moment, Zhuo Qingxuan felt utterly hopeless. Just when she didn't know what to do, Li Wei said from the side, "I agree to this suggestion!"

Everyone was stunned. Situ thought to himself that although he couldn't afford to offend this guy, he was more than capable of dealing with Zhuo Qingxuan. He could be ruthless in a moment and vent his anger over his broken arm.

"Oh, right, to be fair, Pluto King, you can help Situ Leader Situ Regeneration his severed arm. Fighting a one-armed person is not honorable even if you win, and it will also prevent you from using this as an excuse to cheat later!" Li Wei said very seriously.

"What?!" Not only Situ, but even Pluto King was taken aback. He thought to himself, "Has Li Wei gone mad? Even without an arm, an S8-level expert is still enough to kill an S5-level person in one move. This is already incredibly unfair, but now, the other party is saying that he doesn't want to take advantage of us."

That's utterly absurd.

Li Wei continued, "Qingxuan was also injured just now, so I'll help her recover. That way, it will be a truly fair competition. No matter who wins or loses, it's all up to fate. You absolutely cannot go back on your word, otherwise... I'll come to you and seal you away again!"

As Li Wei said this, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, and Pluto King couldn't help but feel a chill. He suddenly remembered that Li Wei still had a Sealing Holy Sword in his hand.

"Very well, I, Pluto King, swear that no matter the outcome of this contest, I will not go back on my word. If I break this oath, may I be annihilated, body and soul!"

Upon hearing Pluto King' oath, Li Wei smiled slightly and also made an oath before walking up to Zhuo Qingxuan. Meanwhile, Pluto King' avatar had already begun Regeneration an arm for Situ.

Looking at Li Wei, Zhuo Qingxuan's eyes reddened, but she bit her lip and said, "Why did you come back again? I swore to revive the Infinite Sect and avenge my master. You are my greatest enemy and my nemesis!"

Li Wei smiled helplessly. He knew he had wronged Zhuo Qingxuan somewhat, but Bai White-Brow had only himself to blame and had no one else to blame. Now, although the woman in front of him hated him, she had clearly developed feelings for him; otherwise, she wouldn't be so resentful.

Clearing his throat, Li Wei said in a low voice, "Alright, I am your enemy and nemesis, but this time, I can help you revive the Infinite Sect, so I can be considered your benefactor. Let's settle this debt of gratitude and enmity!"

"You... you..." Hearing Li Wei's almost shameless words, Zhuo Qingxuan was so angry that she cried. This shocked Qin Xiaoshuang and the other disciples who saw it all from behind. They had never seen their sect leader, who was always like an unyielding iceberg, have such a tender and feminine side.

"Alright, listen carefully now. Do you think that with your combat strength, you simply can't defeat that Situ?" Li Wei regained his serious expression, but in his heart he thought to himself, "After this, this woman has probably completely fallen for me. Even if I push her down now, I probably won't encounter any resistance."

Zhuo Qingxuan's already chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down after hearing Li Wei's words. She bit her lip and said, "You saw it just now. Even if I tried my best, I couldn't defeat that Situ. I don't know how that guy cultivated. He actually raised his combat power to S8 in such a short time."

Li Wei gave a wry smile. He knew that Pluto King must still have Hades Fruit, but he hadn't told him before, which was obviously malicious. However, he didn't have Hades Fruit at the moment, so he couldn't help Zhuo Qingxuan improve her combat power.

However, this doesn't mean Li Wei has no way out. After all, in the previous mission, didn't Li Wei rely on his strength, which was far weaker than the Wolf King's, to finally kill it in one fell swoop?

"Cripple, thank you so much this time. Don't worry, if your Five-Kill Blood Formation can help Qingxuan kill that Situ, I will come and get you right away. No matter what you are hiding or what your past is, I will awaken your original mind!"

Indeed, the reason Li Wei agreed to the Pluto King's proposal was because he suddenly thought of the Five Kill Five-Kill Blood Formation, which could grant immense combat power in a short period of time with one's cultivation. On that day, he had easily killed the Wolf King using this Five Kill Blood Array. However, the Five-Kill Blood Formation required divine energy to activate it. Fortunately, Li Wei had just observed that Zhuo Qingxuan's Infinite Sect Technique within her body. The two were very similar, so she should also be able to use the Five-Kill Blood Formation.

"Qingxuan, listen carefully to me now. I have a secret technique here that can greatly enhance your combat power in a short period of time, but afterwards, all the combat power you have cultivated before will be completely lost. This secret technique is enough for you to kill Situ. If you agree, I will pass this secret technique on to you!" Li Wei said to Zhuo Qingxuan.

Upon hearing this, the latter, just as Li Wei had expected, replied without hesitation, "That's perfect. I was never a match for Situ. If I can kill him using your secret technique, it will fulfill my wish. After that... the Infinite Starfield will be in your hands. I only hope that you can protect it well!" As he spoke, a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

Li Wei laughed heartily and actually pulled Zhuo Qingxuan into his arms, "Qingxuan, don't worry, I will not only protect the Infinite Starfield, but also you!"

Zhuo Qingxuan had never been so intimate with someone of the opposite sex before, blushed and tried to push Li Wei away. After several attempts, she finally gave up and snuggled close to Li Wei. She smelled the masculine scent that made her feel a little dizzy and a sense of peace welled up in her heart.

"So be it. If I can stay with him forever, what is there to fear even if I lose all my power?" Zhuo Qingxuan made up her mind and begged Li Wei to tell her the secret technique.

The Five-Kill Blood Formation is merely a mysterious incantation, consisting of five lines. Because of the Cripple's nagging, Li Wei remembered it vividly and could recite it instantly. Zhuo Qingxuan was also a clever person; after hearing it once, she had already memorized it and was amazed by the power of these five lines.

These five incantations, once uttered, allow the true energy within the body to circulate automatically. Soon, Zhuo Qingxuan was surprised to find, just as Li Wei had said, a sharp pain came from the back of her hand, followed by the appearance of a blood-red character for "kill".

At the same time, the internal energy within his body had decreased significantly.

After reciting the second, third, and fourth incantations, four blood-red "kill" characters appeared on Zhuo Qingxuan's hands and feet. She only needed to recite the final incantation to complete the Five-Kill Blood Formation.

"One last thing: once the battle begins, the Five-Kill Blood Formation will only last for less than a minute, but that's enough for you to kill your opponent!"
