Chapter 555 Bet
To everyone else, Jiang He simply stretched out her hand, and in an instant, it transformed into countless forms.
Luo Chengxu abstained, and the giant sword that Jiang He had conjured vaporized and vanished in an instant.
Luo Chengxu also fell from the sky due to the freezing of his entire blood.
The cultivator who was standing on high ground suddenly crashed onto the ice, causing cracks to appear on the entire ice.
As Jiang He's spiritual energy dissipated, the ice on the lake gradually receded, as if all things were reviving.
The ice surface turned back into a lake, and Luo Chengxu's body sank little by little until he became one with the lake water. The ice inside his body also gradually melted away due to the warm lake water.
Luo Chengxu's lips were pale, and he was already somewhat delirious when the cultivators pulled him out. If he hadn't forfeited in time...
"If Luo Chengxu hadn't abstained in time, the outcome would have been hard to say."
"It's hard to say exactly, but Luo Chengxu is bound to lose this duel."
“I’m not talking about the outcome, I’m referring to life and death.”
"Oh, yes, if Luo Chengxu had come any later, his life would have been in grave danger."
"Sigh, I made the wrong bet again. It's always something related to redwood. Next time I'll definitely bet the opposite!"
"Just don't bet, or your loved ones will shed tears."
"A gambler is a gambler; you can't change their mind."
"Everyone hates gambling addicts, okay?"
……
The audience could clearly see how Jiang He made her moves and how she completely overwhelmed Luo Chengxu. It was obvious that Luo Chengxu was no match for Jiang He.
The live stream froze for a moment; this time, Jiang He was on top, and Luo Chengxu was below.
[Wow, I finally understand how Hongmu started his attack! No, I should say, Hongmu didn't even start; he just attacked directly! That was so cool!]
Ahhhhh, sister killed me! I just saw it, a slender hand, just a flick, and the cultivator was gone.
It was truly a series of progressively intense moments; the visuals of this match were simply superb, absolutely breathtaking. First, there was the ice surface, then the masterful finger strike, followed by a decisive blow that instantly killed Luo Chengxu underwater.
Cool guy who loves swordplay: Shout? Shout again? Where are you, the one who said mahogany is inferior to Luo Chengxu? Come out here!
Haha, I knew it! It wasn't for nothing that I chased him from the sword training ground to the magic training ground. I think I understood it. He didn't even need to recite the incantation; the spell just flowed out so smoothly. It felt even faster than the one at the sword training ground.
I think it's faster at the fencing field.
Did you guys notice the moment the lake froze over? It was absolutely amazing! I don't know how to describe it, it just happened so suddenly. The camera cut from a close-up to a distant view, and at first I thought it was just a small patch of frozen water, but then I realized the entire lake was frozen. I can't fathom Hongmu's cultivation level; she must be a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Instant-cast spells are truly powerful. Very few spellcasters can do that; Kongji is one, Hongmu is another, and I don't know about others. Instant-cast spells are practically indistinguishable from sword cultivation. No wonder Hongmu participated in both rankings; he clearly has the ability.
So it's a real shame that Hongmu didn't instantly kill Luo Chengxu in this round.
What impressed me most was the ability to materialize spiritual energy. As expected of someone in the Nascent Soul stage, being able to create a sword from ice spiritual energy is incredibly powerful.
What did you just say, spiritual energy materializing? That sword was directly formed from spiritual energy? Isn't it supposed to be spiritual energy turning into ice and then into a sword?
Didn't you guys notice? It's just spiritual energy manifesting as matter.
Holy crap, I must have been blind! It really is spiritual energy manifesting in objects! So, if that's the case, the redwood isn't at the Nascent Soul stage at all, it's at the Divine Transformation stage!
Yeah, you just realized that? That's what everyone in the sword-training arena's livestream is analyzing.
Hongmu has never revealed his cultivation level, but he's also never said he's at the Nascent Soul stage. Who started this rumor?
Never mind, none of that matters. The fact is that Hongmu won. It's just that I suddenly feel so sorry for Luo Chengxu. He could have lost outright, but he was forced to drag it out for an extra minute before giving up.
Wait a minute, something's fishy about your discussion. According to this analysis, is Hongmu deliberately stalling for time to ensure Luo Chengxu's elimination?
I just said it offhand; I suddenly realized that Redwood could be killed instantly, but it's been dragging on for so long, it feels more like they're just showing us their strength.
Ah, so isn't that just pretending?
I don't know why, but the phrase "She's so pretentious" suddenly came to mind.
Hahaha, that's hilarious! If Hongmu really was faking it, I bet she had a blast pretending this time, hahaha.
Yeah, you guys were right. Now that you mention it, I also feel this competition doesn't seem like Hongmu's style. It seemed so leisurely, not in a hurry at all, and they even had time to freeze the lake for us to see. Was this just showing off their skills?
I don't know if it was showing off skills, but it definitely impressed me. Ending the battle with one finger, what kind of beautiful and strong character is this? It just looks so awesome.
Okay, after reading all your praise, I'm certain now that Hongmu is just putting on a show, demonstrating his skills.
Oh, is that so? Is it because we can't understand it that she slowed it down?
Probably.
When I checked the live stream, Hongmu was nowhere to be seen again; he'd gone to the sword-fighting arena.
You run really fast!
Yeah, I haven't seen anyone in a short while.
Luo Chengxu was pulled from the water, and he seems to be in pretty good condition. I heard his blood was frozen. By the way, how did he cultivate his ice spirit root to be so powerful?
I don't know, but one thing I do know is that this minute of the match overlapped with the minute of waiting late. If I remember correctly, if Hongmu had been a second or two later, the sword cultivator's match would have been treated as a forfeit, and their winning streak would have ended...
"What perfect timing! Don't you think so, Master Qingqian?" Lin Xia picked up the water on the table and took a sip.
Ye Qingqian had no intention of paying any attention to Lin Xia, and she coldly turned her head away.
The other elders of Lingyun Sect noticed the strange atmosphere and didn't say much.
Lin Xia continued with a grin:
"It seems the Lingyun Sect doesn't have many cultivators. What did I tell you? It's true that Hongmu won. Being in the Nascent Soul stage, he's still a bit stronger."
"Those at the Nascent Soul stage are just using their high cultivation level to play tricks on mice."
The elder of Lingyun Sect couldn't help but retort.
Lin Xia touched the cup with his fingertip: "How about we make another bet?"
"What was the bet, and what were the stakes?"
Seeing that the person had taken the bait, Lin Xia suddenly turned to Ye Qingqian and said:
"Let's make a bet. Let's bet on whether the Xiaoyao Sect can get into the top three on both the Redwood Ranking. The stake is a top-grade magic weapon and Qingqian Zhenren. How about it? If you're interested, you can join."
The elders of Lingyun Sect all agreed, and Ye Qingqian was suddenly restrained. She looked at Lin Xia with a sinister gaze.
They have no good intentions and only resort to petty tricks.
Ye Qingqian didn't want to get involved.
But Lin Xia's words were clearly directed at her; if she didn't respond, it would make her seem afraid.
"it is good."
