Chapter 604: The Winner, Xuan Mo
Chapter 604: The Winner, Xuan Mo
Although this battle was brief, it had already demonstrated a high level of skill. The sheer force of the collision made Qing Yu's blood boil at the mere thought of it. Perhaps it was an illusion—he was engulfed in flames, which certainly made his blood boil.
Thinking of this, Qing Yu laughed twice, which was somewhat inconsistent with his serious expression.
Facing the scrutinizing gazes, Qing Yu coughed and regained his serious expression, saying, "What are you looking at?"
The dragons looked away as if nothing had happened, despite the scolding, while the water gods had no such concerns. Even the Dragon King couldn't control them, so they continued to stare, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Qing Yu had no choice but to watch. He could just wait for Qin Shu to come up and look back. Speaking of which, he looked around and recognized these islands floating high in the sky. He was clearly dead, yet he was able to be resurrected here. This was no simple feat.
This involves the reversal of time.
Qing Yu's knowledge was extensive, and after experiencing it himself, he had guessed most of it. Even so, he was still surprised. If this single magical weapon could achieve this level of power, what about the legendary cave heaven?
In fact, from the moment they entered the Jackie Chan map, the outcome was already determined. They could not defeat Xuan Mo.
Without the initial unbinding, they couldn't even move, let alone fight back. Xuan Mo held absolute control here, and a single thought of life and death was no joke. Fortunately, they were facing Xuan Mo this time; any other opponent would have been defeated if they hadn't been careful.
Living in peace for so long, even the most basic precautions had been completely forgotten. Xuan Mo might have started this as a joke, but the implications behind it were terrifying. The old Dragon King felt a chill run down his spine as he pondered this.
The feeling of putting life and death in the hands of others was not something the Dragon King, who was in a high position, could adapt to.
Others didn't think as much as the Dragon King did.
They looked around and saw that the only person left was Qin Shu.
Qin Shu felt like she was having a heart attack just looking at Xuan Mo's brilliant smile. She knew there was no way to avoid it. She didn't really want to fight, nor did she want to end up in a mess like Qing Yu. But the brat in front of her clearly didn't want to let her go. She said she hated brats the most.
"Young man, let's make a deal. How about a single move to decide the outcome?" Qin Shu knew this was just a joke, no life-or-death feud involved, and he didn't want to waste time. Of course, Xuan Mo had been a big help this time, so he didn't mind playing with this naughty kid.
Xuan Mo nodded, his little face full of eagerness to try.
Without Su Mu's restraint, the devil's true nature was revealed. Xuan Mo released his grip, and his dragon-killing treasure, the Fire Spear, transformed into wisps of flame and vanished into the air.
It is obviously inappropriate to use the Fire Spear in the next duel.
Qin Shu raised her hand, and a drop of water essence appeared at her fingertips. Since she said a single strike would determine the outcome, she certainly wouldn't skimp on it. This drop of water essence wrapped around her fingertips, and then she pointed it out.
A galaxy came from the sky, breaking through the layers of space curtains and falling into the galaxy, bringing new life and destruction.
Xuan Mo felt like he was in the other person's palm.
"Interesting, very interesting." He took a step forward, and lightning erupted from beneath his feet. The color of the lightning deepened from purple, darker and darker, until it turned completely black. This black lightning held the ultimate destructive force, and a muffled crackling echoed in his ears. The black lightning coalesced around him into a dragon-like figure, swirling and charging towards the falling celestial river with a mighty force of thunder.
The world was silent for a moment.
Then came the light of the collision. Thunder splashed, water shattered, and the world turned pure white, like a flash bomb exploding before everyone's eyes.
A vast expanse of white.
There is also a slight buzzing sound, which is mostly the aftermath.
In reality, there was no need to wait for the white light to disappear; everyone already knew the outcome. Qin Shu had already appeared on the floating island. This battle was even more unclear than Qing Yu's, and this was exactly what she wanted.
She didn't want to show her humiliated appearance after being struck by the black lightning in front of everyone. At this moment, Qin Shu was still elegant and dignified, and not even a speck of dust was stained on her rippled clothing.
Only Qing Yu knew that Qin Shu couldn't have been so unscathed during the battle. But the white light obscured his vision, so he couldn't see what was happening. It could only be said that the goddess was still a woman, very particular about her appearance and demeanor, and would never show her negative side.
At this point, the dispute was completely resolved due to Xuan Mo's tireless "persuasion".
The anger that Xuan Mo received from Su Qingtu also disappeared.
It was a perfect combination of both. As everyone gathered on the island, the surrounding space shifted. These floating islands slowly descended onto the water. Xuan Mo announced with a smile, "Everyone's battle has failed."
"The winner is Xuan Mo."
Xuan Mo declared his victory. Suddenly, applause erupted from the surroundings. A pair of large hands appeared above the water and presented Xuan Mo with the winner's prize—the Four Life Treasures.
Everyone was kicked out amidst warm applause.
In the blink of an eye, everyone returned to the confluence of Chengde River and Hengtong River.
This battle completely subverted everyone's imagination.
When they returned to reality, everyone still felt a sense of trance, as if each day had passed by like a year. However, the outcome was good. Now, even though both sides still disliked each other, they were able to remain calm and avoid a life-or-death struggle. This wasn't entirely due to the dissipation of resentment; it was also due to the fact that, having died once, they had gained some insights.
I also gained a deeper understanding of death.
But this does not mean that they fear death. On the contrary, they respect death and have a certain awe for it. They also understand that fighting to the death just out of resentment is too cheap.
Just as Xuan Mo arranged.
Losing one's life out of anger not only lacks a sense of reality, but also makes a hasty death seem like a joke, with onlookers watching afterward. This feeling will stay with them for the rest of their lives. So, every time they get angry, these unbearable memories always come flooding back, and they calm down a lot.
There was also some shared hardship and awkwardness mixed in, and the feelings were very complicated, but there was no tension.
"Still fighting?" Xuan Mo asked with a smile.
The aquatic creatures all shook their heads.
"Very good, my mission is successfully completed. By the way, who wants this spiritual treasure?" The prize Xuan Mo mentioned before was just a prize, just for decoration, and he didn't really want to take it away.
