Huang Daoxian Felt Bad

Without a physical body, you will become a wandering soul!

Don't think that what we do to your body is as simple as just shooting you or making a cut; we won't leave you the chance to repair your body!

In the dimly lit space where the contest of skills took place, Zhang Xuezhou's delaying plan was completely ruined by Ren Anran's intervention.

His and Ren Anran's identities were exposed, and Ning Que's dying roar brought about a great disaster.

Zhang Xuezhou was in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses.

Ning Que, his body broken and weak, lay floating in the darkness, like a corpse adrift on ocean waves.

Ren Anran and the nine-petaled flower stood in a standoff in the distance.

Ren Anran was much smaller than the nine-petaled flower, but the nine-petaled flower was seriously injured and could not recover by relying on the protection of its petals. Ren Anran, on the other hand, was covered in runes, and mysterious inscriptions appeared from time to time, so her body did not appear to be damaged at all.

This is a contrast between strength and weakness, and between injury and complete recovery.

Before assessing Ren Anran's strength, or before fully recovering, Nine Petals Flower did not launch an attack rashly.

This led to a heated exchange between the two sides.

It seemed that Ren Anran had revealed her identity in her haste, but after a few words, it was Jiubanhua who panicked.

No matter how outstanding or extraordinary one's abilities are, they are all for naught without a physical body as a vessel.

When people die, all is lost. The nine-petaled flower threatens the safety of Zhang Xuezhou and others in reality, but is also controlled by Ren Anran's words.

Ren Anran even described in an orderly manner the strategies that the committee was currently implementing.

"Impossible. The committee has already conducted an investigation and has decided not to pursue the matter further. Chairman Li Yingbo has consistently kept the situation under control, minimizing the scope of the conflict. It's impossible for a bloodbath to occur!"

"Times have changed. The committee back then was weak, but now it has members from all the provinces and cities of the Alliance States. Not only has the committee's strength increased, but its administrative orders also rarely conflict. Even if a major event occurs, it will not cause any riots!"

"Impossible!"

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Bet on whether you'll be discovered, whether your physical body will perish, and whether your Lineage will be wiped out!"

Ren Anran's shoulder blades twitched slightly, and her wings flapped gently to maintain her balance.

Her gaze swept over the arm that resembled White Bone blade, then glanced at the half-dead Ning Que and the half-crippled Zhang Xuezhou.

"I won't wait. Either I'll find a chance to kill you, or I'll pay the price to leave this place," the voice from the nine-petaled flower whispered. "As long as I can leave Western Capital City alive, you will definitely not be any better off!"

"Then give it a try," Ren Anran said, "And see if I have the ability to kill you. As for whether you can leave Western Capital City alive, that's another matter!"

"I will come, and I will leave!"

The nine-petaled flower appeared extremely flustered and did not shy away from mentioning its plans.

His choice was simple and practical: either kill everyone quickly or pay the price and leave.

Killing everyone for profit is the best option, while leaving at a cost is the worst-case scenario. However, to ensure his physical safety in reality, he has no choice but to do so.

The nine-petaled flower slowly rotated, but Ren Anran constantly blocked it, preventing it from crossing the boundary and instantly killing Zhang Xuezhou.

"Go!"

A giant petal detached from the enormous flower-shaped body with a sound, then transformed into a flower blade and shot out.

"Just this once!"

The flower-shaped blade slashed down, powerful enough to instantly sever Ning Que and Zhang Xuezhou's movements.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to twist half of his body forward, he heard Ren Anran's steady voice coming from under the flower blade.

On the white bone armor, layers of ancient and mysterious inscriptions flowed, also resisting the cutting of the flower blade. Ren Anran leaped up and stretched out the White Bone blade arm, pointing it at the nine-petaled flower.

"Use every trick in the book, so you don't die realizing you didn't give it your all!"

"Damn it, I'm not going to give up on protecting my body!"

A low, murmured curse emanated from the nine-petaled flower.

Ren Anran had never been injured by Ning Que's roar before, nor had she been injured by the flower blade strike. This defensive power, which was beyond comprehension, made the Nine-Petal Flower's heart tremble.

The nine-petaled flower dared not exert its full strength, lest it expose its vulnerable points and be fatally wounded.

"I won't fight you. I know your name. I only need to kill your physical body, and all your abilities will vanish!"

A low curse accompanied the nine-petaled flower as it rapidly moved away from Ren Anran a resentful recitation.

"Is that so?"

Ren Anran whispered, her wings fluttering lightly as she swiftly pursued the nine-petaled flower.

Previously, it was the Nine-Petaled Flower that chased and killed everyone, but now the tables have turned and it is Ren Anran is constantly flying and chasing after them.

"Where An Ran get the ability to be fearless? Her defense is flawless, but her offensive capabilities seem to have a serious flaw!"

Compared to Ning Que's adaptability to the dragon body, Ren Anran's body is more in line with the human form, and he underwent a near-perfect adaptation almost as soon as he revealed his body.

Aside from her initial panicked cries for help, Ren Anran's subsequent actions were almost flawless.

Zhang Xuezhou, swaying half his body, watched Ren Anran's extremely swift pursuit.

He knew Ren Anran very well, and after a simple assessment, he understood Ren Anran's condition.

Just like his other world where he had mastered physical techniques, he could easily intimidate people in normal times, but in a real battle between experts, he would be a sitting duck, and under normal circumstances, he would only be able to run away. The fact that Ren Anran could use this state to pursue and kill him was already an extremely high level of combat skill.

"Don't let him get away! He'll have to give back everything he took from us!"

In the battle of divination, it was a matter of life or death; Zhang Xuezhou never expected that the nine-petaled flower would have the ability to escape.

This made him shout loudly, lest the nine-petaled flower sweep away half of his body.

"He's carrying your bodies, so he's too slow to escape. Once I've finished charging up this move while I leap, I'll defeat him in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Xuezhou's shout made Ren Anran's heart tighten, but she still responded calmly.

"Ren Anran, don't be so smug!"

The sounds from within the nine-petaled flower were tinged with resentment and became more chaotic. Debris poured out from the tattered flower body, and it also flew and changed direction more quickly.

His incessant chanting caused even the tattered petals, shattered by Ning Que's roar, to fall.

A purple light gradually appeared on his body, causing the Nine-Petaled Flower to stop chanting and instead curse Ren Anran.

"I am going to see the Lord right now, and he will surely take your lives!"

Amidst the rising purple qi, the nine-petaled flower uttered cries of hatred and revenge, along with Curse that sounded like resentment.

Ren Anran looked at this opponent and made a cross-shaped gesture with her hands, which caused the other party to immediately stop talking.

"When he was at a disadvantage, his mentality collapsed, and he couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood. How could Huang Daoxian have chosen such a person to pass on his skills?"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't rush to pick up his half-body remains. Only after the purple qi around the nine-petaled flower continued to rise and disappear did he choose to approach it.

"Rebuilding this severed body will likely require significantly reducing my physical strength!"

Grabbing the lower half of the Fish-Dragon Body's body, Zhang Xuezhou, having narrowly escaped death, couldn't help but feel a bit of unease. He felt that a battle between those skilled in manipulation techniques was simply a disaster, and the ongoing contest of manipulation techniques could only be decided by who could act faster in reality.

"I wonder what Professor Ren is like..."

Just as he was about to think about how to quickly wipe out his opponent in reality, a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared in the misty purple purple qi.

"One body was severed in half, another was riddled with holes, and this was a weak believer... and yet they're wearing heavy armor of profound energy. You're Xuanming... Oh no!"

The eyes have no mouth, but sound comes from within them.

Looking into those unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar eyes, Zhang Xuezhou felt a tremor in his heart, sensing that his body was collapsing and fleeing, and that the real Huang Daoxian had reappeared.

His current condition is terrible, and he can't play any more combat for a while, but the only thing that makes Zhang Xuezhou feel somewhat at ease is that Huang Daoxian is also feeling unwell.
