Chapter 78: Battle with Li Ruoshi
Since Chu Wuyao had already obtained the inheritance, she wasn't willing to waste any more time in this place, knowing full well that there was nothing else.
After she put the small statue away, she turned around and walked to the giant staircase, then stepped down.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
Chu Wuyao was originally expecting that she would be transferred to arena and she would have to fight against the swordsman, but she soon found that nothing happened.
No transfer, no soul attack, nothing.
"Sure enough, since I have already obtained the inheritance, there is no longer any need for the test to exist.", Chu Wuyao thought and without any reluctance, she started climbing down.
Behind her, Yuan Zhuo saw her actions and guessed that Chu Wuyao had already searched this place while he was still climbing the staircase.
Since she was leaving, it meant that there was nothing of value left in this place.
After some thought, he followed her steps.
Without having to pass the test, although the staircase was quite long, it was very easy for cultivators to go through it.
It didn't take long for Chu Wuyao to arrive at the bottom and then jump off.
She was considering her future actions, planning for the future, when the sound of intense fighting reached her ears.
There was the sound of shouting, collisions and explosions.
Obviously, while Chu Wuyao was busy obtaining the inheritance, a change had occurred in this place.
Stepping on the ground, her figure disappeared and she rushed towards the source of this noise.
While on the way, she noticed that the connection she had established through the Devil's Contract was also in that direction and she thought of something.
"Boom!"
The moment Chu Wuyao arrived at the location of the fight, she was met with three rapidly moving figures.
One of them was a masked man with a red sword in his right hand, while the other two were beautiful women.
One of them had black hair and black eyes and an indifferent expression was always on her face.
She was constantly waving her hands and spears made out of ice continuously appeared and flew towards the masked man, forcing him to have to swing his sword in order to defend.
Behind her, a beautiful, scantily dressed woman stood.
Her fighting style was entirely different, constantly taking talismans out of her space ring and throwing them towards the masked man.
The talismans sometimes turned into golden swords and at times into a scorching ball of fire, but they all had a thing in common: they were very powerful.
Faced with the two women's attack, the masked man seemed to struggle to keep up and was obviously being suppressed.
If this situation continued, it wouldn't take long for him to become injured and for him to fall into danger.
Chu Wuyao saw this scene and was able to instantly recognize these three figures.
The two women were Li Ruoshi and senior sister Yue respectively, while the masked man was the person she had met in the dark alley, who had previously allowed her to escape.
Seeing this, Chu Wuyao's eyes turned a little strange.
"Boom!"
While Chu Wuyao was deep in thought, the sound of the air being cut through was heard and she felt the wind brushing against her face.
Without any hesitation, she moved to the side, narrowly dodging the incoming ice arrow.
"It's you!", a cold, murderous voice sounded and without the need to think, Chu Wuyao could guess who the owner of that voice was.
She raised her head and met a pair of indifferent black eyes that were staring straight at her.
The next moment, Li Ruoshi no longer cared about the masked man and turned her entire attention to Chu Wuyao.
Compared to the masked man, the person that Li Ruoshi hated the most was not anyone else, but Chu Wuyao.
This was not only because she had failed to kill her twice and Chu Wuyao had indirectly caused her to become injured, but also because she had noticed something over the past month.
Her junior sister, Ruan Yi, had become friends with this woman at some unknown time.
Even though Ruan Yi tried to hide it, Li Ruoshi was familiar with her and had become faintly aware of this fact.
This was completely unacceptable to her!
If she allowed her followers to become friends with her enemies, how would she be able to maintain her majesty as the senior sister?
Thinking of this, the murderous intent in Li Ruoshi's eyes surged.
"I want to see who is going to save you this time!", Li Ruoshi said and she rushed towards Chu Wuyao.
This time, she would no longer hold back anymore and would do anything in her power to kill this hateful woman!
When Chu Wuyao saw that Li Ruoshi's indifferent expression had disappeared and was replaced by anger, she felt that something was wrong.
Why did this scene make it look like she was the villain?
Obviously, it was Li Ruoshi who killed her predecessor and tried to murder her!
Thinking of this, the murderous intent in Chu Wuyao's eyes surged.
"Trash! It's okay if I don't go out of my way to deal with you, but now, you dare to provoke me?", Chu Wuyao said and she rushed towards Li Ruoshi.
She felt that she had to teach this hateful woman a lesson!
A lesson she would take with her in the afterlife!
The two women didn't know that they had very similar thoughts and they soon appeared right next to other, clenching their right hand into a fist and punching forward.
"Boom!"
The two of them collided and the air around them shook.
But Li Ruoshi found something shocking.
She seemed to be at a disadvantage in their collision.
The moment their fists met, Li Ruoshi felt as if she was a mortal that had hit an iron wall.
The bones on her hand made a cracking sound and a small wound appeared on her hand.
This sudden change made her stunned.
Li Ruoshi remembered that just a month ago, she was able to seriously injure Chu Wuyao with just one move.
But now, just a month later, Chu Wuyao could fight against her?
This was impossible!
"You've been hiding your strength this entire time?", Li Ruoshi took a few steps back and questioned once she regained her balance.
Feeling the pain in her right hand and her cracked bones, she understood that she might have severely underestimated Chu Wuyao.
Chu Wuyao heard her question and understood that Li Ruoshi thought that she had been hiding her strength all this time.
However, she wasn't interested in correcting her, nor would she waste any time answering her doubts.
Since she was lucky enough to meet Li Ruoshi here, she would make sure that this place would become her graveyard!
Chu Wuyao moved her legs and in an instant, she flashed next to Li Ruoshi.
With a thought of her mind, a spear made out of black flames appeared in her hand and she swung it forward.
The speed of her movements was extremely fast and even cultivators at the Qi Accumulation Realm would not be able to catch her figure.
Even before she accepted the inheritance of the Mist Dragon, Chu Wuyao could already fight against Yuan Zhuo without falling behind at all.
Now that her cultivation and body cultivation had massively improved, even she didn't know how strong she was.
Let alone Li Ruoshi who was at the 7th Level of Qi Accumulation, even if she was at the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm, she would be unable to defend against her attacks.
Under Li Ruoshi's shocked eyes, the spear in Chu Wuyao's hand pierced through the air and landed on her abdomen, penetrating it as if her body was made out of paper.
A large hole appeared in Li Ruoshi's abdomen and blood and broken organs continuously poured out and fell to the ground.
Chu Wuyao raised her head and stared into Li Ruoshi's eyes, wanting to see her shocked expression, but she found that her angry look had completely disappeared.
Instead, her expression had returned back to indifference and her eyes were filled with coldness.
"You forced me to do this!", Li Ruoshi whispered and the next moment, her aura surged.
From the 7th Level of Qi Accumulation, her aura jumped to the 8th Level and then to the 9th Level.
Still, this increase didn't stop and her aura continued improving, approaching the Shackles Realm.
Finally, the sound of shattering came from Li Ruoshi's body and her strength broke through the Shackles Realm.
The large wound on her abdomen started healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with new flesh sprouting in the blink of an eye.
As if she felt that this was not enough, Li Ruoshi stretched her hand and a blue sword made out of ice appeared in it, exuding the aura of a Spiritual Weapon.
Her mood seemed to match the power of this sword, causing everything to freeze around her, as if winter had suddenly come.
"Die!", Li Ruoshi said in a cold voice and her hand swung the sword forward, attacking Chu Wuyao head-on.
