The Struggle for Purple Jade 2
"Fellow Daoist, this isn't just about Ziyu anymore." The woman sneered, "The fight has escalated to the point where it involves our respective reputations and the reputations of our sects. Everyone outside is watching. Who's willing to back down?"
"Someone's watching from outside?" Although he had always suspected this, it had now been confirmed, which made Shen Ge's expression turn slightly grim. It seemed that the Samsara Method really couldn't be used.
With so many people outside, and countless powerful ones at that, Shen Ge dared not reveal his Samsara Method.
But without the Samsara Method, how can he possibly achieve a good ranking in this trial?
It seems we'll have to find another way. In short, even if we don't get a good ranking, this Samsara Method can't be used.
Having made up his mind, Shen Ge didn't want to get entangled with them anymore and directly flashed towards the purple jade.
Shen Ge's actions were sudden; after all, everyone was talking about waiting for the next battle, but who would have thought he would break the rules?
The man from the Heavenly Sword Sect reacted quickly, unleashing a terrifying Sword Qi that shot straight at Shen Ge. The woman from the Purple Wondrous Sect, however, seemed to have not reacted at all and did not make a move.
A flash of golden light appeared on Shen Ge's body, followed by the falling of several fragments. Upon closer inspection, these fragments could be pieced together to form a shield.
Shen Ge Shen Ge withstood the attack without injury, and after seizing the purple jade, he transformed into a streak of light and fled.
outside world.
Everyone watching the battle was stunned. They'd fought like that before, so logically they should have continued. How did the situation suddenly change?
"He ran away? He actually stole the purple jade and ran away?"
"What happened? With his strength, he could have easily defeated those two fair and square. Why did he suddenly run away?"
"Hurry, hurry, the branch over there, quickly send your grandfather's Spirit Stone over! Hahaha, I knew that kid could snatch that purple jade!"
At this moment, the scene of the battle switched to Shen Ge's surrounding perspective, which was obviously positioned based on Zi Yu.
"Interesting. That kid is hiding his strength. How interesting. What could he possibly have that he can't reveal?" A Spirit Severing Realm expert chuckled.
"You have a secret, and trying to hide it like this will only arouse some people's curiosity. Kid, you'd better be careful after you get out."
Shen Ge was unaware of what others were thinking; he was currently on the run. The woman who had been chasing him relentlessly had only just managed to shake him off.
"That woman is truly powerful. I heard she's the Holy Maiden of the Purple Wondrous Palace, and her strength is definitely well-deserved," Shen Ge exclaimed as he ran. "She could probably hold her own against the Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm. The direct disciples of these great sects are simply terrifying."
"However, this also gives me some information. If we take that woman as the benchmark, then the disciples of the other major sects and Lineage should be of similar strength, fluctuating around that level at most. But no one should be able to defeat Spirit Severing Realm."
Shen Ge nodded, then mentally compared his current combat strength to that of the fluctuation line, and found that he was below that level, and even below it.
If it were a fight where everyone went all out, he would be among the top tier, and if that woman were the benchmark, he could probably take on two and a half of them at most.
It's not that the woman wasn't strong, it's just that she wasn't very experienced. Otherwise, Shen Ge wouldn't dare say he could take on two and a half of her.
"What a gathering of geniuses! I wonder if we'll witness a battle involving hundreds or even thousands of players this time."
Shen Ge was really eager to witness such a grand spectacle, as the word "shocking" was hardly enough to describe it.
However, such a scene is unlikely to happen. Although this trial does not prohibit killing, it will still be stopped if someone goes too far. After all, this is just a trial, not a life-or-death battle, and no one wants their carefully nurtured disciple to die here.
After running around the area for a while, Shen Ge encountered someone who was ungrateful and trying to take advantage of him; this person was also at the Peak Nascent Soul.
Because she didn't know who it was, Shen Ge wasn't careless at all.
"Fellow Daoist, I only want that purple jade. You'd better be sensible and save everyone's time." The man smiled, as if he had Shen Ge completely under his control.
That makes sense. Shen Ge clearly just left the battlefield and was greatly exhausted, while he was still at his peak. So, no matter what, the advantage was on his side.
"Who are you?" Shen Ge asked.
"Zhu Xiu under the Snow Moon Zhu Household. I greet you, fellow Daoist."
"The Snow Moon Zhu Household?" Shen Ge pondered for a moment. He seemed to have heard of the Snow Moon Zhu Household before; it seemed to be a large Lineage in the Ancient Wilderness.
"Someone from a powerful family like you is involved in robbery?"
Zhu Xiu chuckled lightly, snapping open his folding fan and fanning himself a few times, exuding an air of refined elegance. "Fellow Daoist, you're exaggerating. Isn't this trial all about everyone scrambling for things? You take from me, I take from you, so calling us bandits is inappropriate."
"Fellow Daoist, don't delay any longer. We have all the advantages now, so there's no point in you delaying." Zhu Xiu said gently, looking just like a refined gentleman.
"Fellow Daoist, you think you can take my 10,000 points with just a few words? Do you think that's possible?" Shen Ge sneered and said, "If you want to take it, then come and take it. If you can really snatch the Purple Jade from me, then I'll consider you impressive."
"In that case, I apologize for the inconvenience, fellow Daoist." Zhu Xiu cupped his hands in greeting, then his figure flickered and vanished.
The next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Shen Ge as if he had teleported, and punched Shen Ge directly in the abdomen. The force of this punch was like a mountain collapsing, and the speed was so fast that Shen Ge did not have time to react.
Moreover, the power he unleashed just now was more than three times that of Shen Ge. By that calculation, this guy's physique is at least two levels stronger than Shen Ge's.
Dual cultivation of body and spirit!
I've met a true genius today!
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.
Fortunately, Shen Ge had been on guard and had already set up a defense. After a flash of golden light damaged a defensive Law Treasure, he quickly created distance.
Zhu Xiu didn't pursue them, reverting to his usual gentle and refined demeanor. He glanced at the wary Shen Ge and said with a hint of apology, "Fellow Daoist, I apologize."
You're so humble and polite, why are you robbing me?
Shen Ge suddenly thought of Bai Ze from Luan Bird Forest after mentioning Zhu Xiu, so he asked, "What's your relationship with Bai Wushuang?"
"That Senior Bai Ze from Luan Bird Forest?" After receiving Shen Ge's confirmation, he chuckled and replied, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I, Zhu Xiu, am Zhu Xiu of the Snow Moon Zhu Household. I have no connection with any other powerful forces besides the Zhu Household."
