The second day, the final game.
The audience was as crowded as the day before.
Five of the compet.i.tors were standing on the platform in high spirits, especially Shui Linger. She was wearing a red cloth, beautiful and charming. She lifted her neck, lovely as an elegant swan.
On the opposite side was Bai Yao, still in pure white, like ice or snow out of the dust.
Zi Qin was still on the Arbitration Seat, and still in purple attire. His mask made the strange audience curious.
The Elder was also healthy and hearty as he announced the rules. “Today we will figure out the most powerful disciple. The fighting manner has been decided on and will be a melee; the only forbidden thing is that n.o.body is allowed to hurt your brothers and sisters.”
When they heard this rule, both the attendees and audience were stunned. So it meant a.s.sault was also permitted?
Bai Yao’s eyebrows lifted up. Gao Heng and Gao Feng were blood brothers, so they for sure would be a team. Shui Linger and Yun Yanxia had a good friendship. So . . . she had a bad feeling that she might need to fight all four of them.
As she guessed, the four exchanged looks and decided to knockout her together.
Bai Yao’s focus turned to them one by one. . . Then, Yun Yanxia started the attack. She opened her palm and a blue-purple light appeared. She soon got into position, and Bai Yao was standing like a swift cat. Right then, the Gao brothers came and hit her from broadside from two both sides. Shui Linger was standing behind to back them, her stripe at the ready.
Bai Yao had to use her full power to defend against all four at the same time.
They had such wonderful teamwork; this could not be a coincidence. Bai Yao bet Shui Linger must be the mastermind behind it.
Bai Yao curved her lips with scorn. She had deliberately schemed to defeat her.
However, Shui Linger didn’t feel anything. This was the rule, and she simply used it. Bai Yao was simply the first one to suffer from it.
The audience began to complain of the injustice of the rule for Bai Yao.
Right then, Zi Qin’s eyes turned deep. His cup of tea had been in his hand for some time. But the next minute, he drank it directly, and returned his focus on the fighting. His hand holding the cup was a little pale.
Bai Yao flew up into the air with her inner strength to avoid the attacks of both Gao Heng and Gao Feng. When she fell down to stand again on the platform, suddenly, black lightning came down as the loud sound of thunder and wind railed, which frightened the audience. This made all the audience surprised. This was the sixth realm of Bai Yao, the Heavenly Realm.
The wind and thunder, all led by Bai Yao, attacked Yun Yanxia. The lightning hit her precisely and she was beaten and driven to fly out of the terrace.
Great, one was kicked off!
Bai Yao smiled and then turned her eyes to the rest of the three.
The Gao Brothers exchanged a look. They both feared Bai Yao, but didn’t retreat.
Shui Linger flicked her wrist to inject her strength into the swipe. Then the swipe was circled by a red light of her strength, and began to attack Bai Yao like a serpent.
This time, Bai Yao could defeat the three of them, including the most powerful, Shui Linger.
Bai Yao put her palms together and twisted her middle fingers to make a spell. Then a white light shone on her body, which looked like a double image. Two other copies of Bai Yao appeared. Together there were three of them on the platform.
Everyone in the audience and the other attackers were shocked by this. This was the function of the Spirit Realm.
Shui Linger was so envious that her eyes focused only on her. How could Bai Yao have arrived at this realm?
The three Bai Yao moved at the same time to get their face-offs. In a second, the Gao Brothers used their final skill. The younger brother, Gao Feng, went to the back of his brother and put his hands on his back to transfer his strength to him. In a short time, the older brother, Gao Heng, got double his strength and began to attack the two Bai Yao more fiercely. However, Gao Feng had lost all of his powers and stood aside, losing his qualification of fighting.
Shui Linger was still fighting with Bai Yao’s copy. The red and white shadows were dog fighting at a high speed.
Bai Yao took back a copy, as she now needed to focus on fighting with Gao Heng.
Gao Heng, with the strength of his brother, was so powerful now. He turned his hands to rotate, and then the hardwood floor was lifted off. Amid the cracking sounds, all the pieces of woods flew at Bai Yao.
The audience was so astonished by this sudden change that they all jumped up to take a better look.
The endless wood pieces covered the white light of Bai Yao. Then Gao Heng leaped on the wood pieces near Bai Yao. In a minute, all the wood pieces had trapped her, giving her no room to move.
“Interesting!” Bai Yao praised, and then made the air around her tremble with her power. Soon the wood pieces were broken into dust and fell. Without hesitation, she reached out her left hand to Gao Heng with a chilling air. Gao Heng felt like his blood would be frozen within a minute.
Gao Heng couldn’t bear this huge power, so he spouted blood.
Gao Feng came to support him immediately, and asked, “Are you okay, brother?”
“Fine.” Gao Heng patted his brother’s hand and comforted him. Then he turned to Bai Yao, and admitted, “We lose.”
He was a smart one.
Now Bai Yao had only one opponent.
Shui Linger.
Bai Yao took back her copy from Shui Linger. Her body was a little tired, but she was still trying to make it through. Only one of them was left.
Bai Yao returned and used witchcraft to recover secretly.
Shui Linger quickly raised her swipe to her. Bai Yao moved swiftly with thunder to hit Shui Linger’s head.
Shui Linger took back the swipe to split up the thunder. However, the thunder, which was separated, turned into two bolts of lightning to attack Shui Linger from both sides. Shui Linger didn’t expect this change, and the bolts reached her, forcing her to fall to the ground.
But she didn’t give up. Her pupils were like burning flames. She took out her dagger to stab it into her heart.
All the audience yelled with surprise. Was she crazy?
However, Bai Yao knew she must have some other special skills.
As she thought, Shui Linger dripped three drops of her blood into the swipe. In a second, the swipe became a hot burning one.
The blood from her heart made the weapon much more powerful.
Shui Linger roared and fought Bai Yao again. Without any other method, Bai Yao launched her eighth realm, the Original Realm. Then, thousands of stars appeared to light up her body.
The Elder on the Arbitration Seat was so excited that his hands were trembling. Zi Qin was still drinking his tea, but his curved lips exposed his inner delight.
The two strengths met together, making a vortex on the already destroyed platform, and then it turned into a hurricane.
When the winds and vortex disappeared, the audience saw Bai Yao standing alone. Shui Linger was lying on the ground, dispirited. Her expression was complicated, with both hatred and jealousy in her face. Bai Yao didn’t want to take another look at her. If she had not helped her upgrade, Bai Yao would not have let her go so easily.
After the game, Bai Yao became the most powerful witch on Mt. Wushan. Everybody cheered for her.
