Chapter 286: Crushing Her with Magical Artifacts

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The darkness dispersed.

Amidst everyone’s anticipation, only Zhao Xuanxuan walked out alone.

Exactly three minutes had passed since the start of the match.

Zhao Xuanxuan spoke true to her words. It only took three minutes to kill her opponent.

When Zhao Xuanxuan came out, Wang Zhixing and company finally relaxed.

On the other hand, Aatrox looked solemn.

“Soko is dead?” Aatrox had a hard time believing it.

He was well aware of Soko’s strength and the abilities of the shadow race.

As far as he knew, once the shadow domain was activated, he would be invincible against another person at the same level.

He admitted that Zhao Xuanxuan was a little strong but not strong enough to kill Soko.

But now, Soko was really gone.

Aatrox guessed that it was probably because Soko was too careless or Zhao Xuanxuan had a hidden trump card.

Regardless, Soko’s death meant that this match had been lost.

Now, Aatrox’s side was only leading by one round. So as long as Ma Qingxue won the next round, there would be a tie.

If Aatrox follows the rules, he would have to leave unconditionally.

Zhao Xuanxuan returned to her camp.

She was not in a good state either.

The transformation into the true form of the Fire Phoenix would place a huge burden on the body. At the same time, the consumption of one’s True Qi was also very significant.

According to Zhao Xuanxuan’s current cultivation realm, the Fire Phoenix True Form could only last for half a minute.

Fortunately, she successfully killed Soko.

Under the effect of the True Flames of the Nine Phoenixes, Soko was instantly incinerated, leaving nothing behind.

Zhao Xuanxuan had also staked everything on this. She didn’t expect it to be quite easy.

There was only one match left.

Ma Qingxue would be participating.

All of her equipment was very powerful. They were all at stage five.

She and Qin Chuan were partners.

Qin Chuan knew that she didn’t like combat, and it wasn’t as if he could always be by her side.

Therefore, for Ma Qingxue’s safety, he gave her some powerful magical artifacts to defend herself.

“Sister-in-law, you’re going to fight. You must be careful.

“If you really can’t win, we can just admit defeat.” Zhao Xuanxuan said.

Ma Qingxue nodded. “I have the magical artifacts your brother gave me and many Dao talismans. I’m very confident.”

“But you still must be careful, don’t underestimate your enemy.” Zhao Xuanxuan warned.

“Mmm! I know what to do.” Ma Qingxue gave Zhao Xuanxuan a reassuring look.

Wang Zhixing walked over and said, “Xiao Xue, this battle is extremely important to us.

“Putting aside the fact of whether the other party will keep their promise, as long as we win, there will be a ray of hope.

“We must not let go of any opportunity.”

Ma Qingxue replied seriously, “I understand. I will do my best to win this match.”

“Right, I have another question.” Ma Qingxue suddenly said.

Wang Zhixing did not think too much about it. “What is it?”

Ma Qingxue thought for a while, then used her divine consciousness to communicate with Wang Zhixing.

“Grandpa Wang, I want to know if Qin Chuan is still studying the Laws?”

When Wang Zhixing heard this, he was startled.

He knew that this matter could not be concealed for long.

He sighed and replied with his divine consciousness, “That’s right. Sect Master indeed isn’t studying the Laws.”

Afterward, Wang Zhixing told her everything he knew.

“Xiao Xue, don’t think too much.

“Sect Master is lucky. Perhaps he encountered some fortuitous encounter,” Wang Zhixing said through voice transmission with his divine consciousness.

Ma Qingxue did not reply. She merely forced out a smile and flew out of the camp.

As the barrier used for the battle had been destroyed by Zhao Xuanxuan, the cultivators actively set up new barriers.

This would take some time.

During this period, Aatrox carefully sized up Ma Qingxue.

Aatrox didn’t sense any dangerous aura from her. She seemed normal and not very powerful.

But it was this feeling that made him very uneasy.

After the previous loss, he could no longer underestimate his opponent.

Moreover, this was the last match.

Since she was last, she probably wasn’t as weak as she looked.

For this reason, he called his deputy over.

“Samo, the last match will start soon. You can’t underestimate your opponent. Bring me a beautiful victory in this battle,” Aatrox said solemnly.

Samo was a female. Her capabilities were not much inferior to Babatu.

She understood that this was the last battle between the two sides. Aatrox put great importance on it, and she had to win.

In Soko’s match, she felt that the biggest reason for his defeat was because he had greatly underestimated his opponent.

She would not make such a low-level mistake.

“Leader, don’t worry. I will definitely win,” Samo said firmly.

Aatrox held out a glass vial.

The bottle contained an unknown bright red liquid.

When Samo saw it, her expression changed abruptly. There seemed to be fear in her eyes.

She knew what was in the vial.

“Leader, I will definitely win,” Samo continued to state her stand.

“Drink it,” Aatrox said.

“Leader…” Samo wanted to argue, but after seeing Aatrox’s cold gaze, she could only swallow his words.

Shivering, Samo took the glass vial and opened the lid. After a moment’s hesitation, she downed all the liquid inside.

After three to four seconds, Samo suddenly spread her arms and roared towards the sky. A large amount of blood mist spewed out from her body.

From her expression, one could tell that she was in great pain.

At this moment, all of her beast pets, with the exception of the Nirvana Beast, transformed into pure energy and poured into her body.

Aside from that, there was also a powerful and evil energy wreaking havoc within her body.

Wang Zhixing and the others noticed the commotion.

According to the observation of [Aura Examination Technique], Samo’s aura rose rapidly and soon reached the Soul Transformation stage, and it had not ended.

For a moment, they felt more worried for Ma Qingxue.

However, Ma Qingxue looked very calm. There was no change in her expression.

Not long after, the barriers were ready. The size of the battlefield was the same as before.

On Aatrox’s side, Samo had undergone a drastic change.

Her entire body was covered in blood-red scales. Sharp spikes grew out of her back and shoulders, and there was a pair of horns that resembled a bull on her head.

Her eyes were filled with ferocity, like a wild beast that had gone berserk.

When both sides arrived inside the barriers, Samo roared at Ma Qingxue as if she wanted to eat her alive.

On the other hand, Ma Qingxue remained indifferent and fearless. She was extremely calm.

Wang Zhixing and the others were all extremely nervous for her.

Soon, the match began.

Samo was like a runaway horse. She attacked first.

Her claws were half a meter long.

Facing the attack, Ma Qingxue did not retreat.

She crushed a jade talisman, and her body was instantly enveloped by a defensive barrier.

This defensive barrier could block attacks at the Soul Transformation level.

Right now, Samo’s strength had reached the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation realm. This defensive barrier could not stop her at all.

Ma Qingxue was naturally aware.

At the same time, she crushed jade talismans, one after another.

In a single breath, she had crushed a dozen of them.

With dozens of layers of defensive barriers overlapping each other, the defensive strength of the barrier increased by several times. Even a peak Nascent Soul powerhouse wouldn’t be able to destroy it in a short period of time.

Samo attacked crazily, but the dozens of layers of defense were like an immovable mountain.

At this moment, Ma Qingxue took out some jade talismans again.
