C21 What Is Worse than Waste
Chu Liyue did not accept Chu Mingyue's words. Instead, she smiled and said to the Black Tiger: "Oh, Qing Hui, you've been despised."
[What a joke! How dare you, a mere green bug who only knows how to crawl on the ground and spit, act arrogantly in front of me?]
Even though he knew that Chu Liyue was just teasing him, the Black Tiger still couldn't help but get angry.
The thin raindrops hit his body and his fur stuck together, making him feel very uncomfortable to begin with. Yet, he was still looked down upon by this woman!
Let her see what she can do!
With a flap of its two wings, the Golden Flamed Black Winged Tiger disappeared from the air.
Even though the Jade Tattooed Jade Python had been staring at it, it only felt a blur in front of it before disappearing.
A black wind swept past at high speed.
The Jade Tattooed Python knew that the situation was bad, and that an enormous sense of danger had also descended.
It swung its tail, not seeking to defeat its enemy, but to block and leave an opportunity for its own reaction.
The huge snake's tail smashed into the puddle on the ground, splashing water everywhere. However, it did not hit the enemy that it thought it was.
Pain!
Before the Jade Tattooed Jade Python could do anything else, it felt countless sharp blades cut into its body.
The dark green scales that were resistant to swords and sabers were as fragile as paper in front of the beast claws that were wrapped by Profound Strength s, and they were easily sliced into pieces.
Its four claws tightly grabbed onto the Jade Pattern Jade Python's body, and one of its claws even tightly gripped onto the Jade Pattern Jade Python's seven inches, causing the enormous green python to not even have the strength to struggle.
The sharp nails extended from the pads of the claws had already pierced deeply into the Jade Python's body. Dark green blood flowed down along the dark green scales and splashed into the water on the ground.
With a long whistle, the gigantic Black Tiger flew up into the sky.
With a flutter of its wings, the dense rain was blown away by the wind. Its pitch-black beast eyes were filled with ice-cold killing intent.
The Jade Tattooed Jade Python tried to twist its body, wanting to wrap itself around the Black Tiger and use its ultimate move to strangle and kill the Black Tiger.
However, Chu Mingyue could no longer endure the pain and fell to the ground.
Without the Profound Bead's master's command and the Profound Strength's supply, the Jade Tattooed Jade Python only had its instincts left and could no longer support itself.
The long snake body drooped down weakly from the Black Tiger's claws, without a trace of its previous ferocity.
When the hissing had finished, the Black Tiger had already flown to the top of the protective shield once again. With all four claws, it tore the Jade Python into five pieces!
Everyone was stunned.
All of the onlookers were disciples of Chu Clan who had participated in this trial, so no one expected the outcome of the battle to be like this.
The young miss, who had lost her Profound Bead, had won the challenge with just one Strange Beast.
The Cultivation Level, on the other hand, had already reached the Sixth Cycle of the [Congealing Pearl] realm, and the Fourth Miss, who should have soared to the heavens in a single leap, had fallen to the ground, heavily injured.
How was this possible?
Quite a number of people looked at the Golden Flamed Black Winged Tiger with blazing eyes.
Was a Rank 5 Strange Beast really that powerful?
The profound beasts were heavily injured, and the Profound Bead's master felt the same.
The Jade Tattooed Jade Python was torn into five pieces, dying miserably. Chu Mingyue, on the other hand, lay on the ground, twitching non-stop.
From the moment the Golden Flamed Black Winged Tiger's claws pierced into the Jade Pattern Jade Python's body, Chu Mingyue felt pain as if someone was using a sharp tool to constantly cut and spin inside her body.
Green liquid constantly dripped from the Jade Python's body, and the light yellow pupils of the Jade Tattooed Jade Python slowly began to lose their luster.
At this time, if Chu Mingyue could take it back into the Profound Bead and use it and properly nurture it with her soul, the Jade Tattooed Jade Python would have a chance to recover.
But now, Chu Mingyue herself was rolling on the ground and screaming miserably. How could she care about the Jade Tattooed Jade Python?
On the other side, even Chu Liyue, who had always been calm, couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression on her face.
As soon as this Jade Tattooed Jade Python appeared, it brought her an enormous pressure.
Chu Liyue felt the Profound Strength s in this huge snake body, and for the first time, she felt a sense of respect towards this world.
However, such a scary Xuan Beast was easily torn into five pieces by Qing Hui!
[Humph, a woman like this should be smearing makeup on her bed and embroidery on her eyebrows. She actually dares to challenge Ben...] Challenge me?]
With a bang, the huge head of the python fell down from the sky, smashing right next to Chu Mingyue's face.
The light yellow snake's eyes had lost their luster, and it stared powerlessly at the empty training field.
The drizzle in the sky had long since disappeared, but the puddles on the ground were still there.
The water splashed in all directions and the green liquid splashed on Chu Mingyue's face, clearing her mind temporarily.
Chu Mingyue opened her eyes. The confidence and calmness from before was no longer there. There was an unconcealable fear on her dirty face.
She finally regained a bit of consciousness and endured the pain all over her body as she struggled to urge the Profound Bead to take the corpse of the Jade Python that had been cut into five pieces.
The Jade Tattooed Jade Python was severely injured, and only a trace of the Spirit remained, curled up inside the Profound Bead without moving an inch.
The only sounds that could be heard were Chu Mingyue's heavy breathing and occasional moans.
Chu Liyue stood on the spot with a slightly complicated expression on her face.
She had originally thought that the Jade Tattooed Jade Python's scales were hard and its strength was immense, while the Golden Flamed Black Winged Tiger had the advantage of being in the air. It was also possible that the two could enter a stalemate.
At that time, in order to break the stalemate, Chu Mingyue would definitely think of making a move on her, this "trash" who did not have any Profound Bead.
This was the best time for Chu Liyue to kill him!
All of the spectators present were witnesses, proving that she had accidentally killed Chu Mingyue in a public challenge to protect herself.
He did not expect that the Black Tiger's fighting strength would be so strong. With just a few words from Chu Liyue, they had acted out a horrifying scene of a Jade Python being torn apart by their own hands.
Now that Chu Mingyue had fallen to the ground, she didn't even have the chance to kill her.
Chu Liyue thought for a moment before raising her eyebrows and walking up to Chu Mingyue with a sneer.
"Little sister Brightmoon, are you admitting defeat?"
Chu Mingyue slowly opened her eyes and looked at the pair of deer-skin boots in front of her. She barely managed to focus her mind in the endless pain, only then did she understand Chu Liyue's words.
Me? Admit defeat?
Was he still defeated by Chu Liyue, who did not have any Profound Bead?
Impossible! This was impossible!
Why? Chu Liyue clearly no longer had a Cultivation Level, but she managed to get such a strong Strange Beast!
The heavens were unfair!
Ever since she was young, all eyes had been on Chu Liyue, praising her beauty, praising her intelligence, praising her talent, calling her a genius … He, who was only three months younger than her, was a transparent person.
They were clearly the same sisters. Chu Liyue possessed all kinds of good stuff, but what she wanted she had to follow behind her and beg for.
Now, he finally had to wait until Chu Liyue became a cripple because of a Strange Beast.
Chu Mingyue could already imagine how those hateful sisters who gave birth to concubines would mock her when they returned to the Duke Zhen's Mansion in a few days.
She struggled to raise her head and looked at Chu Liyue, who was standing in front of her.
Chu Liyue, dressed in a black outfit, crossed her arms across her chest with an extremely complacent expression.
"Didn't Sister Mingyue spread the word outside that I had lost all my Profound Bead and become a piece of trash? What I don't know is, you, who lost to 'trash' and was even inferior to 'trash', what do you count as? Trash? " Chu Liyue asked word by word as she looked at the hate-filled Chu Mingyue.
Seeing the madness and hatred on Chu Mingyue's pale face, Chu Liyue turned her head with satisfaction and walked away with her back facing Chu Mingyue.
Clang!
A clear cry sounded out, and Chu Liyue immediately felt a sharp killing intent coming from her back.
A ray of clear light shot towards Chu Liyue's back!
The audience outside the training field cried out in alarm.
Because of Chu Mingyue's identity, these disciples of Chu Clan did not dare to reprimand her openly, but they all revealed expressions of disdain.
He had already failed, but the opponent did not kill him. Instead, Chu Mingyue sneaked up on him from behind. Such a character was simply too unsightly to bear.
Only Chu Xingzhi, Chu Qingxiu, and Chu Gaoyi shouted anxiously, "Please be careful, Miss!" "Shameless!" Attacking from behind, shameless! "
Chu Liyue had gone over to say something in order to infuriate Chu Mingyue and then counterattack, so she had the confidence to kill Chu Mingyue. Why did she say it so brazenly? Why was she not on guard?
Just as the ray of clear light was about to touch Chu Liyue's body, a giant hand made up of flames appeared and struck out with all its might!
The clear light was sent flying by the big hand of the flame, and it went straight for Chu Mingyue who was sitting up with her hands on the ground!
The audience exclaimed once again.
With a cold expression, Chu Liyue turned around and looked at the light flying toward Chu Mingyue's throat.
Killing Chu Mingyue was her first step in avenging the original owner.
This time, Chu Mingyue's ambush failed and she died. No one could say that she did something wrong. Even Chu Zhe couldn't use this as an excuse to get even with her.
The clear light flashed and Chu Mingyue's body stiffened. She didn't have time to react and could only watch as it flew towards her throat.
The cold and sharp aura had already reached her face and neck. Chu Mingyue felt the hairs all over her body stand up. She could only whimper as she closed her eyes.
Ripples appeared in the air, like ripples caused by a drop of water falling into a lake, spreading out in circles.
The clear light was blocked by the ripples, and just as it was about to pierce into Chu Mingyue's throat, it fell to the ground.
With a clang, the clear light revealed its true form.
It turned out to be a three inch long dagger. It seemed to have no handle, and the blade shone like snow, sparkling with a clear light.
"Clear Snow!" Some people had already recognized the dagger and cried out in alarm.
This is Lord War God Chu Lu's dagger when he was young, why is it in Chu Mingyue's hands?
Chu Liyue stepped forward, bent down to pick up the dagger, and looked at the referee Sixth Elder, who was standing outside the shield.
The person who had stopped Qinxue from killing Chu Mingyue just now was either the master of this military camp's bead, the Third Elder, or the Sixth Elder who was the referee and could temporarily control the protective barrier.
Among these two, at least one of them had already sided with Chu Zhe.
When Chu Mingyue attacked him from behind, no one came to save her. However, when Chu Mingyue was on the verge of death, someone stopped her.
After giving the Sixth Elder a deep look, Chu Liyue put Qing Xue into her sleeve, reached out to catch the Black Tiger that had shrunk in size, and carried it out of the training field.
The barrier slowly opened, and the Sixth Elder solemnly announced, "The winner of this challenge is — — Chu Liyue!"
Silence reigned outside the training grounds.
To think that the victor would be the young miss who had already lost her Profound Bead, this was simply too unexpected.
However, even if he won the battle against the young miss, it was only by relying on the abilities of the Strange Beast of the fifth step.
The First Miss was on the verge of falling out with the Duke of Zhenguo, so how far could she rely on just one Strange Beast? At this time, Hou and the eldest miss were on good terms. Offending the Duke of Zhenguo was not worth it.
Everyone silently retreated to make way for Chu Liyue. However, no one dared to step forward and say "congratulations" to her.
