Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 36: Heaven and Earth Change and Birds Fly Away
Without waiting for Wu Su to speak, Ying Lili continued, "Today, let's have a fair competition in this alchemy pot. If you win, I will go back to Shamo with you. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. But if I win, please don't make things difficult for me and the Shen family. I will go back to where I came from. How do you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Su's expression darkened. He stared at Gong Lili with piercing eyes, seemingly unable to believe that this woman, who bore the same features as Yao Ji, had the courage to fight him alone, even rejecting offers of assistance to negotiate such unambiguous terms. Was she mad? Or was she truly so arrogant as to believe she could rival him with her current meager abilities?
He snorted coldly and uttered two words slowly: "Naive!"
Ping Lili smiled slightly, but the smile seemed a little cold: "Am I naive? Let me speak with the moves in my hands! Please teach me!" After saying that, he had already taken a posture to meet the enemy!
Just when Wu Su was still speculating in his mind about the motives of Gong Lili's showing off, Gong Lili had already approached. The short black iron blade in her hand changed into a mysterious grip and suddenly became radiant. She just shook her wrist slightly, and the short black iron blade, like a fish dragon in the water, drew an extremely strange arc and attacked Wu Su. For a moment, he felt a chill!
Wu Su did not move, but waved his purple robe and a dark light shield rose out of thin air. The dark light shield looked ordinary, but it contained incomparably rich spiritual power. At this moment, a change occurred!
The black iron short blade instantly stabbed towards the inky light shield. It seemed to be blocked by the flexible light shield at first, but then Ying Lili shook her wrist, and the short blade danced in her hand. Suddenly, flames began to flicker on the short blade!
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Wu Su's eyes, as if he had a bad premonition. Sure enough, a moment later, from the tip of the black iron short blade that broke through the air again, a bunch of earth fire lotuses bloomed out of thin air. The fire lotus was red at first, and then gradually turned into purple and gold. The flames leaped and leaped, and one purple and gold earth fire lotus after another danced with the black iron short blade, scattered in all directions, and hit the inky light shield with a puff, raising a circle of scorching heat waves!
The inky light shield instantly turned invisible among the fire lotuses, and Wu Su spread out her purple robe and leaped several feet away, avoiding the scorching purple-gold fire lotus. At this moment, Wu Su's face revealed a barely perceptible look of approval. He really didn't expect that this girl had such a high level of comprehension. It had only been a few months since she woke up, but she had been able to reach such a level of cultivation and even evolve some extraordinary moves on her own. She was indeed worthy of being the reincarnation of Yao Ji!
In fact, the little trick that Ping Lili used just now was just the result of private discussions with Mo Yi these days. Ping Lili's interactions with Mo Yi these days were not just about romance!
She had long anticipated that such a day would come. All her previous martial arts and tricks were inherited from Sha Mo, Yao Ji and Jian Yi, but those two people were like time bombs, and there was no telling when they would become enemies. Therefore, Gong Lili knew that she could not completely rely on them or the tricks they taught her. Those methods were okay against outsiders, but if she met the wizard Sha Mo, they would probably not be so effective.
Therefore, while she was working hard to improve her own practice, she was also trying to come up with some original moves to deal with the Sha Mo people. Of course, this was kept secret from Yan Zheng, and she could only communicate with Mo Yi in private.
Mo Yi would naturally not object, especially after the night when Mo Yi's father suddenly appeared, Mo Yi's worries became even greater. Therefore, Mo Yi was even more active than Gong Lili himself in improving Gong Lili's own combat effectiveness.
After the two of them thought about it, their first task was to find a suitable weapon for Gong Lili. After thinking about it, Gong Lili always felt that Mo Yi's black iron short blade was the most suitable one to use. After all, the short blade had accompanied her through countless difficulties and obstacles, and had always played a decisive role at critical moments.
So in the end, she chose the black iron short blade as the object of training. After these days of training in the Xuming Realm, Yinglili had become extremely intelligent. In addition, Mo Yi generously taught her all the key points of using the blade. Yinglili quickly learned all of Mo Yi's little tricks for her own use. Moreover, based on the advantage of her flexible body and the power of the fire essence, she even evolved a fire-based move that she called "fire blade". That's why she surprised Wu Su today.
However, despite his shock, Wu Su knew that this level of cultivation was far from enough to face the senior teachers in Shamo City. If Wu Su had previously been somewhat disdainful of Gong Lili's challenge, now he truly felt a desire to test her! He wanted to see just how high her comprehension level was! How far could she go?
Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Wu Su's eyes, and without hesitation, he immediately used his unique skills!
He raised his palms slightly, and a large amount of purple light suddenly spread out in front of him like a tide, like a purple light curtain. What was even more surprising was that the color of the light curtain was gradually deepening, from light purple to becoming darker and darker!
The Purple Cloud Beast on the side felt the change in Wu Su's spiritual power and knew that he was planning to use his best skills. Naturally, it was a little frightened. Regardless of Gong Lili's previous dissuasion, it jumped up and wanted to join the battle, but was stopped by Shen Fei who drew an invisible barrier in front of it.
"Don't worry, trust her a little more. She should be able to do it!" Shen Fei had been watching silently from the side. He naturally noticed Ying Lili's performance. Seeing her use some close combat methods that were not the Sha Mo wizard's forte, he was naturally a little surprised. When did the Sha Mo tribe's chief wizard start to act like this? He actually stopped practicing witchcraft?
However, considering her identity, he quickly understood what Gong Lili was thinking. He didn't expect that this girl had such backbone. He immediately felt a little admiration in his heart. Although in his opinion, there was still a gap between her strength and Wu Su's, an inexplicable optimistic emotion rose in his heart. He felt that this girl who did not play by the rules might really have a way to deal with Wu Su. Such an interesting drama was not common.
Moreover, taking a step back, for her, this is probably a rare way to accumulate experience. Even the tentative look in Wu Su's eyes was keenly noticed by Shen Fei, because he felt that although Wu Su was planning to take real action, there was no murderous intent in his body. Since his life was not in danger, there was nothing wrong in letting the two of them play around, so he stepped forward to stop the Purple Cloud Beast.
The Purple Cloud Beast naturally did not have as many cunning thoughts as humans. At this moment, it was only worried about Sister Lili's safety. Although it was stopped by Shen Fei, it was unwilling to give up and rolled its amethyst-like eyes, ready to wait for an opportunity to move.
It opened its mouth silently and slowly spit out circles of imperceptible transparent mist. The circles of mist gradually spread out in all directions. Faintly, it seemed as if countless transparent elves leaped out of the mist and disappeared in this vast world in the pot.
Shen Fei seemed to sense something. His body swayed slightly, his eyes closed slightly, but he did not attack again.
At this moment, Yinglili's entire attention was focused on the gradually deepening purple curtain of light in front of Wusu. She knew it was a powerful spell capable of enveloping the entire area, striking the enemy from all sides. This curtain of light was actually Wusu gathering all of his spiritual energy. The darker the curtain, the more spiritual energy he had gathered! When the curtain turned a pure deep purple, it was time for Wusu to strike!
In fact, this move was not unfamiliar to Gong Lili. She had used a similar move before. It should be regarded as the top-level skill of the Sha Mo wizard. However, there are some differences between using it yourself and cracking others'. Gong Lili's brain was working rapidly. She tried hard to recall every detail of when she used that move, and quickly thought about how she should resolve Wu Su's "Sky Jade Universe" that could shock the world!
For some reason, I suddenly remembered the ice-blue lotus called 'Len Ruo' that was passed down by my master in Kamami. I wonder if that thing can be used?
After thinking it over , Ying Lili decided to go all out. She quickly placed the 'Lian Ruo' in the center of her dantian, and then tried to use the same method as before using the essence of fire, trying to use the power of 'Lian Ruo' to block Wu Su's "Sky Jade Sky". However, she did not expect that as soon as she used the power of 'Lian Ruo', a sudden change occurred!
The world changes dramatically!
The sky suddenly felt oppressive, and the ground suddenly shook violently again, this time even more intense than the last. Then, before anyone could react, the surrounding landscape suddenly underwent a strange transformation. The surrounding space began to rapidly twist and distort, as if trapped in a crack in time and space.
Faintly, Shen Fei yelled, "Oh no! Who the hell destroyed my alchemy pot?"
At that moment, Ping Lili felt the world spinning. At that moment, a strange sound like a thousand crows croaking filled her ears. The image of Wu Su before her seemed distorted beyond belief, as if she were looking at a figure in a funhouse mirror...
Hearing Shen Fei say that the alchemy pot was forcibly destroyed, I suddenly remembered what Shen Fei had said half-jokingly before, saying that if the alchemy pot was destroyed, everyone would become wandering ghosts or be trapped in this virtual space forever...
"Sister Lili, be careful with your head!"
"Get out of the way, stupid girl!"
Then, two terrifying forces came at the same time, as if trying to push her away!
But for some reason, at this moment, Ying Lili's legs seemed to be poured into cement, and she couldn't take a step at all. Her whole body was deeply embedded in the ground like a javelin. Ying Lili subconsciously looked up, but saw that the world had changed drastically. A huge emerald green round boulder seemed to be attracted by some force, and it fell from the sky and smashed down on her!
Could it be that he was attracted by 'Lian Ruo'? This was the last consciousness of Ying Lili.
There was a loud bang, and the huge rock hit Gong Lili directly on the head!
