Creation of the Universe

Chu Qiu leaned close to Shen Zhan's ear and whispered a few words.

He told Shen Zhan the news he had obtained, and as he had expected, it was indeed related to the piccolo.

It turned out that the piccolo was not some mysterious spiritual weapon, but there was some kind of poisonous insect hidden in the piccolo. Just now, when Liu Chidao and Ding Yi were fighting, the poisonous insect bit the latter.

Because the poisonous insect was very small and the sting was only slight and unintentional, Ding Yi was unable to notice it in time.

But don't be fooled by the inconspicuous appearance of the poisonous insect. Its venom is extremely strong and it caused harm to Ding Yi in such a short time. The whole process was almost silent, making it difficult for the person who was bitten to find out the cause.

"It seems that the people from the Falling Shadow Sect have specially formulated corresponding methods based on the rules of this battle, hoping to defeat Ding Yi in this way."

After Shen Zhan understood the truth, he quickly thought of a solution in his mind.

If they were really not as skilled as their opponents, then losing would be acceptable, but if they were to play such despicable tricks behind their backs, then Shen Zhan would have to kill them.

In an instant, several blue-flame blood-winged insects with a light blue halo flew out from Shen Zhan's sleeves and swooped straight towards the martial arts arena.

Since Liu Chidao likes to play with insects, Shen Zhan will use the same method to teach him a lesson, and he will definitely play more crazily and enjoy it more than him.

On the other side, Zhu Xiuyuan, who had been silently paying attention to the situation on the field, kept his eyes fixed on Ding Yi on the martial arts stage. There was no joy or anger on his withered face, and the wrinkles between his brows became more and more obvious.

Zhao Tiange and Meng Zhong stood at the right rear. Their task today was to keep an eye on Zhu Xiuyuan and monitor his every move.

"Do you think this old man has figured it out?"

Meng Zhong crossed his arms over his chest, looking somewhat impatient. To him, more direct methods were more in line with his temperament. Standing here and watching made him feel very bored.

"Although Ding Yi has a deeper cultivation base and more practical combat experience, she is not Shen Yunli of the Ninth Order Dao Principle after all. There are some differences between the two of them, and they cannot be completely the same person."

Zhao Tiange curled his lips and continued, "So I suggest we make preparations early. If things really fall out, I won't let this old man embarrass our eldest brother!"

"That's natural."

Meng Zhong was rubbing his hands together, wishing he could pounce on Zhu Xiuyuan right now, but he still needed to wait patiently, at least until the outcome of the battle in the martial arts arena was decided.

After his trick succeeded, Liu Chidao changed his previous state of being suppressed by Ding Yi and began to switch from defense to offense. His overall condition seemed to be getting better and better. After all, he knew best in his heart what gave him enough confidence.

Although Ding Yi hadn't realized what was happening, she wasn't afraid. The two of them used their respective skills again and the fight became more intense.

The people watching the fight felt more and more that something was not right. The favored girl who had previously had a clear advantage suddenly showed signs of decline for some unknown reason, which made Liu Chidao more and more courageous.

Several big moneybags who had previously placed heavy bets on Shen Yunli began to doubt their choice.

"That's not right. Is Shen Yunli going to lose? I bet a lot of money on her. Isn't this a scam?"

"Who said it wasn't true? I even borrowed hundreds of spirit crystals, hoping to make a killing. How am I going to pay it back if I lose?"

The crowd was filled with more and more dissatisfied voices. Shen Zhan couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and turned to look at these chattering people.

"Since you dared to place a big bet on Shen Yunli before, it means you believed in her ability. Now that the situation on the field is not going well, you are thinking about regret and dissatisfaction. Aren't you just not worth playing with?"

Shen Zhan swept his cold gaze over the crowd, and those who had just spoken immediately shut up.

Chu Qiu smiled and said, "My eldest brother spent more money than you did, and bet it all on Shen Yunli. He bet bigger than any of you, and he always believed that Shen Yunli could win. You don't even have this much determination, so don't try to imitate others in betting in the future.

You can't play this gamble that's worth a ton of money!"

After Shen Zhan and Chu Qiu finished talking, they sat back in their original seats. Not long after, the situation on the field was reversed again.

When Ding Yi passed by Liu Chidao, he used his two fingers as a sword and suddenly raised it upwards. The latter did not expect that Ding Yi could actually use his fingers to transform into a sword move. He was suddenly hit hard in the ribs and fell backwards.

There was a cheer from the stands!

The sponsor that Shen Zhan had just scolded immediately changed his tone and said, "I told you so. How could Shen Yunli, who is a ninth-level Daoist, lose to this ordinary person? She must have been deliberately letting him go just now to avoid ending the competition too early and ruining everyone's fun."

"Hey, that's not what you said in your last sentence?"

"What's with all the talk? Stop talking nonsense!"

On the martial arts stage, Liu Chidao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and his heart began to feel extremely uneasy.

As expected, in a head-on confrontation, I am no match for his opponent. Now it all depends on whose spirit gathering ball is filled with spiritual energy faster!

Although winning in this way is not glorious, winning is winning. This fact is all that matters, nothing else matters.

With this thought in mind, Liu Chidao turned his gaze to the spirit ball on Ding Yi's waist, but he was surprised to find that the spiritual power in the ball did not increase. What was going on?

It doesn't make sense. The insect had clearly bitten Shen Yunli before, and the latter's spirit gathering ball was indeed rising faster. Why is there no movement now?

Liu Chidao's attention was completely attracted by the spirit gathering ball. Ding Yi didn't care what he was thinking. She rushed over and performed fierce sword moves, forcing Liu Chidao to retreat quickly to avoid the swift attack.

Although he no longer had the Ruoshui Sword in his hand, which affected his combat effectiveness, Ding Yi had already memorized the sword moves by heart, so even if he used his fingers as swords, he could still exert considerable power.

"what!"

Liu Chidao let out a scream as Ding Yi hit his chest seven times in a row. He immediately vomited blood and a blood mist spurted into the air.

What was even worse was that the flute in his hand fell to the ground, and the poisonous insect inside rolled out.

Ding Yi took a closer look and finally understood why she felt chest tightness and palpitations from time to time, and even the use of her spiritual power was affected. It turned out that the other party had used such despicable means.

Tang Sheng, who was hosting the competition in the stands, suddenly turned pale.

The people from the Falling Shadow Sect actually dared to use such shameless means in front of him. Doesn't this mean that they don't take him seriously?

After everyone at the scene understood what was going on, they all pointed fingers at Liu Chidao and the members of the Zhuiying Sect in the audience. They were so shameful!
