Chapter 564 Walking the dog here?
A pure white sword pierced through the air at Lingxi's throat. He saw the sword so close that he had no time to dodge.
Seeing that Jiang He's sword was about to slit his throat, Ling Xi had never reacted so quickly. He tried to block with his sword, but as soon as his sword touched the other party's Spirit-Eating Sword, Ling Xi's fingers were covered in cold air. His wrist stiffened, and within a second, his whole body was paralyzed.
Jiang He's sword grazed Ling Xi, and she turned around and released a sword aura, instantly knocking down the cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage who had been turned into an ice sculpture.
They lay on the ground, their expressions within the ice sculptures indescribable.
Who said that the ranking of sword cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect's Redwood Clan has no value?
They were frozen in the ice, their fingers unable to bend or straighten, and even the expressions on their faces remained frozen in the ice.
Many cultivators wanted to shout "abandon!" but the hot air in their mouths dissipated as soon as it reached their lips, making it impossible for them to make a sound. They either had to wait until they were judged to be seriously injured or endure a minute, or they would have to stay in this ice forever.
The cultivators inside the ice sculptures were not having an easy time, and Ling west, Pang Luo, and the others were no better off.
Lingxi, who had almost been killed by having his throat slit, soon experienced Jiang He's ghostly figure. No matter how fast he was, he was always stopped by Jiang He's sword.
Jiang He didn't kill him, but just tormented him like this, repeatedly freezing and thawing and then reviving, which was truly unbearable.
Lingxi has a fire elemental root. After escaping Jiang He's encirclement once again, he took a deep breath and exhaled a flame from his mouth.
The flames were intense, and the frozen "ice sculptures" thawed under the high temperature.
Lingxi's eyes lit up; she had finally found an opportunity.
Jiang He was difficult to defeat, so he took the opportunity to rescue these cultivators whose cultivation levels were lower than theirs, and used them to distract Jiang He. This way, he could have time to catch his breath and would not be overwhelmed.
Lingxi's idea was good, but as he watched, he realized something was wrong. The cultivators he had rescued did not attack Jiang He. Instead, they either shouted that they were giving up or stabbed themselves in the back.
Lingxi was a little dumbfounded.
No, what are these cultivators doing?
Self-abuse?
The cultivators frozen into ice sculptures were not as determined as Lingxi had imagined. After being released, their first thought was to flee the battlefield.
Jiang He's sword energy was truly terrifying.
The bitter cold seeped into every inch of skin; if it had been two or three seconds later, all the organs in the body might have been frozen solid.
All the cultivators who still had the strength immediately shouted that they were forfeiting.
The cultivator whose mouth was frozen shut and who was still unable to speak took a different approach: it was better to injure himself than to be injured by Jiang He.
Let whoever wants to challenge this list do so; they're not going to play along.
One after another, the cultivators on the field forfeited, a scene that not only stunned Lingxi, but also left the netizens watching the live stream speechless.
[: They just abstained? What the heck?]
Abandoning so quickly, they have no ambition at all.
Hey, I barely watched the match, why did you forfeit? You can still fight even after coming out of the ice sculpture. Redwood is just one person, while there are so many challengers. I don't understand what you're afraid of.
I suspect that Hongmu might have drugged them. They were fighting perfectly fine, and then suddenly they started stabbing themselves. It left me completely stunned.
Yeah, is Redwood a poison cultivator? I don't remember. Only a poison cultivator could administer hallucinogenic drugs like this, similar to the hallucinations caused by mushroom poisoning.
Yeah, yeah, it's already the sect competition, don't be a coward, just go for it!
Haha, you do it if you dare. I just forfeited and I can't even speak right now because my mouth is numb from the cold. A little more and my hand would have broken, and I wouldn't have been able to type. If I hadn't reacted quickly and poked the right spot, you would be seeing a corpse.
That's so exaggerated.
The main character has arrived.
Yes, those of you who said you were scared haven't experienced what it feels like to be completely frozen. Let me tell you, it really is freezing you shiver. Next time, I'll punish you by freezing you into ice sculptures.
That's right, thankfully we're cultivators and can withstand the damage, otherwise I feel like I would have died there.
Wow, Hongmu's sword move is so powerful! When I watched Hongmu's match with Luo Chengxu, the ice was frozen, but Luo Chengxu seemed fine.
Brother, because her sword energy wasn't aimed at Luo Chengxu; this time it was definitely coming for us.
Suddenly I understand. So what you mean is that if they don't abstain, they might end up as real "ice sculptures," and the cultivators who can't speak can use their severe injuries to get the referee to decide whether to carry them off.
: Nonsense, do you think I didn't want to succeed in topping the list? So many of us went hoping to snag a spot, but this time there's absolutely no way. If we don't forfeit, we're doomed.
Sigh, it's all our fault for being too arrogant. All that talk about instantly killing opponents of higher levels? That's just wishful thinking from reading too many fantasy novels. I'd better just stick to the bottom of the Heroes Ranking.
Haha, it seems that Zero West is just like us, wondering why all the teammates we finally managed to rescue ran away.
Okay, I admit it, rosewood does have some strength.
Kill all those despicable spiritual practitioners: Do you even need to emphasize that? Our mahogany is just awesome.
Sunflower seeds: Mmm
Wow, the members of the Xiaoyao Sect are so active! We see them everywhere. Did they see us talking bad about the Xiaoyao Sect too?
Yeah, do you dare say it or not?
The sect competition is so cruel! Don't you think what Hongmu did was incredibly cruel? Does she think she can kill people in the sect competition just because she has high cultivation?
: ...? Are you serious upstairs? Did you get your brain damaged by a door? Or are you playing the role of an idiot? Hongmu hasn't killed a single person yet, and you're telling me she's cruel? And don't cultivators have mouths? You challenged someone and then blamed the challenged. Next time, don't say anything like this that's already written on paper.
But this time, many cultivators are unable to speak. Isn't that because of the redwood?
Moreover, this is pure psychological abuse, devoid of any humanitarianism.
I'm speechless. If you can't even abstain, honestly, you might as well give up on cultivation and just stay home. Most people get injured going to a secret realm; why don't you blame the secret realm instead?
What are you talking about? Humanitarianism? Is that a word being used here?
Everyone participating in the sect competition has signed a life-or-death contract. What are you discussing about humanity here? It's ridiculous.
Although we always say that Hongmu's strength isn't that great, and that there might be some skill involved, I've never said that Hongmu is cruel. This comment must be from a hater.
: Hmm, actually, what you said was pretty harsh too, we're about the same.
Following the "ice sculpture" withdrawal, Lingxi belatedly realized what was happening.
The truth is, these people are just cowards; they don't want to gamble with their lives.
Lingxi was intently observing Jiang He's movements.
Then, he discovered a very sad fact.
Lingxi turned to talk to Pang Luo:
"It's like Redwood is treating us like dogs."
