Cultivation Kill

Unexpectedly, the man with the buzz cut ambushed his companion. He used all his strength in this move, breaking Hua Mulan's protective spiritual power and instantly injuring her internal organs. The injured Hua Mulan fell into the teleportation array, and the teleportation power was about to take Hua Mulan away.

Suddenly, the teleportation array's light dimmed rapidly, like a candle going out.

At this moment, the light dissipated, and an ice cone hidden within the light spun in the air, then drew a blur in the air and flew towards the heart of the short-haired man, Yang Chongtian!

"Zhen Batian was prepared!" Yang Chongtian exclaimed in shock, trying to dodge.

Unfortunately, Shen Zige's ice spikes anticipated his dodge position, and the spikes followed his movements, precisely locking onto him.

A figure was faster than him, directly blocking his way, facing Shen Zige's unpredictable ice spikes—

It was Hua Mulan, whom he had ambushed!

What's the situation?

The changes were unexpected; the man in the floral shirt and the young man in black had no time to react, and the scene kept changing!

"idiot!"

Shen Zige cursed inwardly, forcefully altering the trajectory of the ice spikes. The ice spikes were now far away from him, and the influence of his divine sense had weakened. The attack still grazed Hua Mulan's shoulder, taking away a piece of fabric before exploding.

Two golden shields had just appeared, protecting Yang Chongtian's body from the front and back.

The man in the floral shirt and the young man in black, who used the alias Zhao Ritian, made their move.

"As expected, the three of you were plotting something." Shen Zige sneered. "It's a good thing I didn't believe you."

Shen Zige activated most of the teleportation array only to conceal his attack spells, including the Ice Cone Technique he learned from Hua Mulan.

"You know Mulan Tian?" The man in the floral shirt knew that the man with the buzz cut had recovered his spiritual power, so he removed the golden light shield.

"I know her, but I didn't expect she would know me too," the man with the buzz cut explained. "She used to be a live streamer. I watched her streams, but then she stopped streaming for some reason. When I came to this world and saw her again, I realized that the reason she stopped streaming was because of time travel!"

"Is that all?" Shen Zige suddenly realized, "You were the top donor to her during her live stream, so even though you ambushed her, she still risked her life to save you. No wonder she protected you all along and even argued with Long Aotian in the city when she thought you had disappeared."

Hua Mulan was injured in the shoulder, and blood flowed down her arm and dripped to the ground.

“If I’m not mistaken, the heart-shaped stone that fell down was a gift that Mulan Tian sent to the top-ranked student. The blue color represents the character ‘Lan’ (兰),” Shen Zige said. “They both know each other’s identities, but they’ve been pretending all along.”

“You’ve made one mistake in your reasoning,” Yang Chongtian said. “It’s not the ‘lan’ of orchids, but the ‘lan’ of blue sky.”

Apart from Hua Mulan, everyone else on the field felt that this guy was too ruthless, even capable of harming someone he once loved!

Which transmigrator who successfully condenses their spirit through repeated cultivation and killing in secret realms isn't a master of disguise and lying?

All that childish behavior before was a facade!

Shen Zige slowly walked towards the edge of the teleportation array. He believed that the other four were pretending to be experts. Fortunately, Yang Chongtian lied after entering the teleportation array. His divine sense had been scanning the teleportation array and also Yang Chongtian, and he found that Yang Chongtian's heartbeat was faster and his blood pressure was higher than usual.

"I never expected Mu Huatian to be such a devoted woman who met such a heartless man!" The man in the floral shirt tore off his disguise and shouted, "Attack!"

While he was speaking, he secretly used his divine sense to control the teleportation array's core and activate it.

The young man in black and the man in the floral shirt attacked together, their magic surging towards Shen Zige like a raging torrent.

Ignoring Hua Mulan's pleading eyes, Yang Chongtian continued to push her into the teleportation array.

In that instant, Hua Mulan felt utterly hopeless and cried out, "Why? Why!"

Shen Zige slid his feet and sidestepped the combined attack of the two, who were using the aliases Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian. He kept moving forward in the gaps between their spells, completely dodging all attacks.

"This guy is a combat artist!"

Everyone present had the same thought.

Shen Zige captivated them with her footwork alone. In their eyes, Shen Zige was like a world-renowned painter, freely wielding her brush in front of a blank canvas; like a skilled worker on an assembly line, able to tighten screws even with her eyes closed; like a record-breaking shooting game expert, precisely dodging a hail of bullets.

Two petrification spells flew towards the man in the floral shirt and the young man in black. Shen Zige's counterattack had begun!

The gray light of the petrification spell arced through the air and flickered. Even though its power was weaker than that of the late-stage Spirit Condensation spell, its trajectory was unpredictable, making it impossible to intercept or dodge.

The man in the floral shirt and the young man in black used their spiritual power to protect themselves, and simultaneously used golden light shields to block in front of them.

The petrification technique split in mid-air, two into four, four into eight, and its trajectory changed for the last time in the air, bypassing the golden light shield and hitting the man in the floral shirt and the young man in black. The two split-off streaks also hit Yang Chongtian.

Peng peng peng—

A series of impact sounds rang out.

The protective aura around the three of them shimmered like ripples on water before the petrification spell was dispelled.

"That's it?"

The black-clad youth, using the alias Zhao Ritian, exclaimed happily, "That's right! His cultivation level is only at the first level of Spirit Condensation, so his spell strength is limited. It's difficult for him to break through our protective spiritual power. We don't need to be afraid of him at all!"

Everyone thought about it and realized that this made sense. No matter how good your combat skills are, it also depends on your level of understanding. If you can't break through the defense, then your exquisite and gorgeous techniques are just useless flashy tricks!

All three are at the late stage of Spirit Condensation. As long as they don't waste their spiritual power recklessly, they shouldn't be defeated by Shen Zige!

The man in the floral shirt and Zhao Ritian stopped their spells attacking Shen Zige. If their spells couldn't hit their opponent, it was equivalent to constantly weakening themselves. They needed to conserve their spiritual energy, which was difficult to replenish during battle.

“Yes, my magical attacks can't break through your defenses.” Shen Zige took a step forward, her divine sense surging forth—

The Myriad Thoughts Mantra: Control your thoughts, control your person!

That's right, once you reach the level of mastery in mind control, you can project your divine sense to control objects and people!

The petrification technique's dispersed divine sense connected with Shen Zige's own divine sense, and instantly the divine sense was transmitted to him like an electric current.

Caught off guard, the three were bound by an unseen force and pushed toward the teleportation array!

Seeing this, Hua Mulan seized the opportunity to escape the teleportation array. She had lost all hope in Yang Chongtian and did not want to save him a second time.

Although Shen Zige didn't know what the man in the floral shirt had done to the teleportation array, he guessed that activating it would definitely not end well!

"This kid's divine sense has actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage!" the black-clad youth Zhao Ritian exclaimed urgently. "You all need to find a way to break through this, or we'll all die!"

"But he's only at the first level of Spirit Condensation, so he definitely can't maintain such powerful divine sense for long," said Yang Chongtian, the man with the buzz cut. "If we keep resisting with our spiritual power, we can win!"

"persist in?"

The man in the floral shirt suddenly revealed a strange smile, and then his divine sense exploded, pushing away the divine sense that was binding him!

It turns out this guy was hiding his true strength, and had been playing dumb all along!

After escaping his predicament, the man in the floral shirt, using the alias Long Aotian, did not rescue his two companions. Instead, he and Shen Zige used their divine sense to push the two into the teleportation array, and then activated it—

A burst of light appeared, and the two people inside the teleportation array screamed in agony before melting away like candles, their blood flowing into the array patterns on the ground.

"Two people were sacrificed, the repair was successful, and the real teleportation array is now activated," the man in the floral shirt said coldly.

The moment the teleportation array turned red, the man in the floral shirt stepped in and disappeared from Shen Zige's sight.

The red light slowly dimmed, and Shen Zige gritted her teeth and followed into the teleportation array, disappearing from the Trial Hall.

Hua Mulan rushed over, but unfortunately she was too slow and the red light had already disappeared. She tried again but could not activate it, so she had to leave the Trial Hall.

She planned to leave this secret realm. This trip had only yielded one Spirit-Attracting Fruit, and she had also lost the person she once loved!
