Cheater
The Kunlun venue event was relatively short, lasting less than two days from the announcement of the rules to its conclusion.
Meanwhile, in the Lingshan Wind Cave, the grand event continued for twelve days without ending.
This is a question involving 'compassion'; it was initially about who could endure the longest.
Although Zhang Xuezhou and his group initially caused chaos, Zhang Xuezhou's actions were short-lived.
Without his chaotic chase through the wind cave, only a group of hardcore gamers remained, each employing their own methods to endure the darkness.
Some sporadic skirmishes are inevitable, but as long as the fight cannot be ended in a short time, it is not too difficult for the contestants to escape by taking advantage of the environment.
"Where did you come from? State your name and you'll be spared!"
Zhang Xuezhou was physically weak and lacked energy, but it was rare to see someone like him who could ride the wind in the Bifeng.
In the brief moment of impact, Zhang Xuezhou unleashed a series of powerful elbow strikes, causing his opponent to groan repeatedly.
I surrender!
The familiar yet somewhat desperate voice startled Zhang Xuezhou slightly. After all, he had few cases of defeating someone head-on in his life, and it was even rarer for him to suffer repeated defeats against the same cultivator.
"Then just go out with the wind!"
He pushed his opponent away with an elbow, and a few drops of liquid, whether tears or blood, fell.
A scalding sensation rushed into my palm, but it was quickly blown away by the wind.
Zhang Xuezhou flicked his sleeves, and his heavy footsteps faded into the distance.
"Brahma, the deity of the Western Sect, is in the left-hand area, while Vishnu is in the right-hand area, which is three turns away!"
The wind blew Kong Ning away, but left behind the sound of Kong Ning pointing the way.
Thinking of Kong Ning's attempt to defeat the Western Sect disciples in order to free the Peacock Great Wisdom King, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
"Knowing the location but unable to defeat them, Vishnu and his allies are clearly stronger than you at the moment. You think you can rely on the wind to destroy them and gain an opportunity? It seems you don't even recognize their home-field advantage. If you don't defeat these two the moment you enter the Wind Cave, you won't have any chance later!"
Zhang Xuezhou's response was cold and direct, maintaining his usual aloof persona as the Holy Son of Kunlun.
Amidst the howling wind, the departing footsteps sounded somewhat unsteady.
Compared to Zhang Xuezhou, Kong Ning's condition is clearly worse.
The Twelve Days in the Wind Cave not only involve facing fierce winds and competition from fellow participants, but also involve many other factors such as food, rest, and sleep.
Players who can survive under these conditions are either exceptionally talented, well-prepared, or have found a good location to endure the passage of time with minimal cost.
"Kong Ning the Xieluosi River Holy Land has withdrawn, leaving four contestants!"
A moment later, the Sect Master Jieyin made a calm announcement, which reverberated throughout the wind cave, carrying the sound to all directions.
Four?
For Zhang Xuezhou, the information provided by the Sect Master Jieyin was comprehensive enough.
But for the competitors in the Wind Cave, this is more of a countdown-like pressure.
"Besides the two Buddhist disciples, it seems there's one more!"
To be honest, Zhang Xuezhou was quite satisfied with the current situation. After all, he initially only wanted to be second to last, but he ended up in the top four.
"Brahma, I see you!"
With Vishnu's weakness in his hands, Zhang Xuezhou didn't bother searching the right side of the Wind Cave, but instead continued searching the left side.
He strode through the howling winds of the cave, and inevitably used Demonic Sound Technique. His voice, amplified by the howling winds, sounded somewhat sinister, like a vengeful spirit haunting him.
"Don't go, I've come to find you!"
"Brahma, I've come! Don't leave!"
Whispers continued, and Zhang Xuezhou moved closer to the left-hand area that Kong Ning had mentioned.
"Damn your ancestors for eight generations, what do you want from me?"
As Zhang Xuezhou drifted closer to the Brahma Heaven, which was struggling to move through the wind, he felt a soft, weak force slapping against his body repeatedly, accompanied by four mouths shouting and cursing.
"Is this your blow?"
Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise, feeling that Brahma's condition wasn't much better than Kong Ning's.
If the power of Brahma's attacks was only this strong, Zhang Xuezhou felt he could lie down and let the other party beat him up. After all, his physical resistance was real, and even if he was exhausted, he could still withstand the beating.
"Put some effort into it, haven't you eaten?"
Having confirmed that Brahma could not harm him, Zhang Xuezhou did not retaliate. After all, his strength was also very weak, and he might not be able to break through Brahma's physical body either. It was better to let the opponent continue to exhaust his strength.
Standing in the wind cave, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but launch into a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
"A cultivator like you can become a Buddhist disciple? The selection process for Buddhist disciples in your Western Sect is truly arbitrary!"
No matter how much Brahma attacked or cursed, Zhang Xuezhou, with his foul mouth and Demonic Sound Technique, relentlessly bombarded the ears, and returned the insults in kind.
"Your cultivation level is low, yet you managed to survive in the Wind Cave for twelve days. It seems you were wearing a protective robe against the wind. Your hands are certainly not clean!"
"Nonsense! My clothes are all torn to shreds, I don't have any robes!"
At first, they were each cursing each other, but later, after their attacks on Brahma had failed, they jumped up and down in a frantic defense.
"Put it in the bag!"
"I don't even have a storage bag!"
"A dignified Buddhist disciple doesn't even have a pouch! Your Western Sect's selection of Buddhist disciples is truly arbitrary!"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think people outside will believe you? Who knows where you hide your sewing bags in the wind cave? When the wind comes, you quickly put them on, and when the wind passes, you take them off and hide them again!"
"You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
"If you insist on making excuses, we'll have someone come in and investigate to see who's up to no good!"
Having personally captured Vishnu, Zhang Xuezhou was well aware that the Western Sect had done some tricks. At this point, he was not afraid of making any wrong accusations, and Vishnu's Arhat robe was even in his Lesser Heaven and Earth Bag.
"You can investigate... you can hire someone to investigate... but you can't just pin other people's actions on us. Anyway, I didn't cheat!"
Despite his tough exterior, when Zhang Xuezhou asked someone to enter the Wind Cave for verification, he actually felt a bit flustered and couldn't hold on any longer.
Putting aside the tricks he used, Vishnu truly possessed the Arhat robes and even brought them into the Wind Cave. An investigation would undoubtedly uncover the truth.
"Oh dear, my body can't take it anymore. Looks like I can only manage fourth place!"
After a barrage of insults, he quickly opted to cash out and secure his ranking, deciding whether to continue arguing with Zhang Xuezhou or concede defeat to protect his position.
Once the rankings are finalized, and Zhang Xuezhou wasn't caught red-handed, he has too many ways to renege on his promise.
With a loud shout, Brahma gave up his grip on Zhang Xuezhou's arms and began to jog in the gradually weakening wind, heading towards the familiar cave entrance.
Zhang Xuezhou spat out a curse from behind.
He took two steps to catch up, but saw that Brahma had run even faster.
Although he didn't know exactly how Brahma had cheated, judging from the other party's words, Zhang Xuezhou was certain that Brahma had indeed cheated in this grand event.
