Chapter 106 Powerless to Seek Justice
Tian Ruochun's gaze darkened slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips.
She took out ten talisman papers and instantly drew ten offensive seventh-grade talismans.
Lightning, frost, and fire surrounded Ye Qianqian, all striking her precisely.
"Pfft!" Ye Qianqian, covered in blood, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her resentful gaze fell on Tian Ruochun, who looked at her with cold eyes and threw out the talisman in her hand again.
Sudden.
A dazzling light emanated from the talisman in Ye Qianqian's hand, so bright that everyone present was blinded by it.
Xie Wanning had no idea what was happening inside.
However, she heard Ye Qianqian's voice.
[System, give me four more Rank 8 talismans, all offensive.]
[That bitch Tian Ruochun dared to hurt me! I'll make her die in this competition today!]
[Host, with your current cultivation level, you can only draw one Rank 8 talisman at most. If you draw five Rank 8 talismans, your character will be ruined.]
[Enough nonsense. A persona can be rebuilt after it's ruined. I'll avenge this, or I'll write my name backwards. Besides, nobody can see this now; they'll never know what I did.]
【……yes. 】
"boom!"
Right after that, Xie Wanning heard a piercing roar.
Oh no! Xiao Tian has almost no spiritual power left and can't withstand the attack of the eighth-grade talisman at all. If Ye Qianqian really succeeds, Xiao Tian will probably die here.
Xie Wanning was extremely anxious. She wanted to rush over, but the light was too dazzling, and she couldn't even open her eyes to discern the direction.
Stay calm! There must be a way.
Xie Wanning forced herself to calm down and listened carefully to the surrounding situation.
She could hear nothing but the sound of the explosion.
How to do?
Hearing is completely useless now.
Xie Wanning calmed down and focused on sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations around her. Everyone's spiritual energy fluctuations were different.
She sensed two fluctuations of spiritual energy on the arena.
One stream of spiritual energy was so weak it was almost imperceptible, while the other was very strong and was even growing continuously.
Xie Wanning was certain that the faint fluctuation of spiritual energy belonged to Tian Ruochun.
So, Xie Wanning leaped into the air, activating the defensive magic artifact on her body, and arrived beside Tian Ruochun.
She used her defensive magic weapon to block Ye Qianqian's attack. When her hand touched Tian Ruochun, she only felt a wet touch and smelled a strong smell of blood.
"Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian." Xie Wan Ning felt a sharp pain in her heart, her voice trembling as she longed for a reply.
Unfortunately, apart from the explosion, all other sounds were swallowed up.
What happened to Xiaotian? How badly was he injured? It's all Ye Qianqian's fault for providing talismans through the strange system.
"Enough!" Xie Wanning gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling.
Xie Wanning drew her sword and struck in the direction of another fluctuation of spiritual energy.
[Host, be careful! 】
Xie Wanning suddenly felt the spiritual energy opposite her surge at an abnormally rapid speed. When the light in the sky disappeared, Xie Wanning opened her eyes and saw an unbelievable scene.
Ye Qianqian stood perfectly intact in front of her, all her injuries completely healed.
Xie Wanning didn't care about anything else. She turned around and saw Tian Ruochun lying in a pool of blood, her breath weak.
Xie Wanning quickly fed Tian Ruochun an eighth-grade Resurrection Pill and an eighth-grade Recovery Pill, saving Tian Ruochun's life.
"How could it be you?" Ye Qianqian looked at Xie Wanning in disbelief. When the system warned her of danger, Ye Qianqian didn't even have time to react. Fortunately, the system activated the emergency protection mode, which saved her from injury.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you mean by this? My junior sister Tian and I are competing, and you've gone up on stage to interrupt us. Do you not care about the rules of the competition, or do you simply not care about the sect's grand competition?" Ye Qianqian's tone was aggressive, and she looked at Xie Wanning with a mocking expression.
Xie Wanning smiled lightly and pointed at Ye Qianqian, retorting, "Ye Qianqian, you violated the rules of the competition. The talisman drawing competition requires drawing talismans on the spot, but you brought an eighth-grade talisman to attack your opponent without permission. Isn't that too unfair!"
Ye Qianqian then noticed an eighth-grade ice talisman in her hand. She had intended to use this talisman to deal with Tian Ruochun, but she was interrupted before she could throw it out.
The people in the stands were finally able to open their eyes. They saw Ye Qianqian standing on the stage, Tian Ruochun lying unconscious on the ground, and Xu Weilin had somehow appeared on the stage, holding a sharp sword and standing in front of Ye Qianqian.
Everyone heard Xu Weilin and Ye Qianqian's conversation and saw the eighth-grade talisman in Ye Qianqian's hand.
"An eighth-grade ice talisman? When did Junior Sister Ye become an eighth-grade talisman master? That's amazing!" a disciple exclaimed.
"But why didn't Junior Sister Ye take out an eighth-grade talisman earlier?" a disciple asked.
"What do you know? Junior Sister Ye is using the eighth-grade talisman as a backup plan, to be used at a crucial moment." The disciple's words were quickly refuted, and there were no more voices of doubt in the crowd.
Hearing everyone's unconditional trust in Ye Qianqian, Xie Wanning realized just how great the image Ye Qianqian had built up over the past three years was, and how everyone would wholeheartedly believe in her.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I can indeed draw eighth-grade talismans, but I just don't want to show them off prematurely." Ye Qianqian said with a faint smile.
"What evidence do you have to prove that you drew the Rank 8 talisman on the spot? Can you draw a Rank 8 talisman now to prove that you are a Rank 8 talisman master?" Xie Wan Ning naturally knew that the Rank 8 talisman was created by the system, but she couldn't bring herself to say the word "system".
“Fellow Daoist Xu, the light was too strong just now, that’s why you didn’t see me draw the talisman. Sometimes don’t doubt what your eyes can’t see, it’s not necessarily fake.” Ye Qianqian said sarcastically, her tone suddenly turning helpless: “I’m now completely exhausted, so I can’t prove that I’m an eighth-grade talisman master.”
“However, the eighth-grade talisman is in my hands, and my storage bag was handed over to my senior brother for safekeeping before the competition. This proves that I am an eighth-grade talisman master. It is against the rules of the competition that storage bags cannot be brought on stage. Fellow Daoist Xu, you must know this too.” Ye Qianqian’s tone was very confident, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"You..." Xie Wanning was so angry that she couldn't speak. She felt that Ye Qianqian's spiritual power had mysteriously disappeared, so she couldn't find a reason to refute her.
The sword in her hand trembled slightly.
"On the contrary, I would like to ask you, Fellow Daoist Xu, what is your punishment for violating the rules by going on stage and obstructing the competition during the event?"
Ye Qianqian turned to Elder Zhou on the referee's table and asked, "Elder Zhou, Xu Weilin broke into the competition area and interrupted the competition. What do you think we should do?"
Elder Zhou said with a serious expression, "Xu Weilin, you have disrupted the competition, so you will be penalized by deducting five points from your competition score."
Xie Wanning glared angrily at Ye Qianqian, then suddenly calmed down and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Ye also know that this is a competition? A competition is a contest of skills between two people, and it should stop when the opponent has made a move. Why did Fellow Daoist Ye use an eighth-grade talisman to attack Fellow Daoist Tian? Fellow Daoist Tian is seriously injured. If you use an eighth-grade talisman, Fellow Daoist Tian's life will be in danger."
"I just took out an eighth-grade talisman, but I don't necessarily have to throw it out!" Ye Qianqian spread her hands, looking completely innocent.
Although Xie Wanning knew that Ye Qianqian harbored murderous intent, she had no evidence, since Ye Qianqian had not actually carried out the killing yet.
"Then why did Fellow Daoist Ye violate the competition rules by taking the pill to recover? Isn't that a violation of the competition rules?" Xie Wanning pointed at Ye Qianqian's body, which had already fully recovered.
"It's simple. I've already defeated Junior Sister Tian, and the competition is long over. What's wrong with me taking the pill and treating myself in time?" Ye Qianqian smiled calmly.
Xie Wanning knew that it was that strange spiritual power that healed Ye Qianqian. But she couldn't explain the system, couldn't speak up for Tian Ruochun, and could only helplessly retaliate under the mocking gazes of the disciples.
Xie Wanning gripped the sword in her hand, the hilt trembling violently, her anger about to reach its peak.
Just as she was about to explode, a weak voice brought her back to her senses.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, don't be angry, I'm fine."
