Chapter 378: Chapter 271: Finally Reaching the Top: My Holy Daughter is Just Mischievous, Actually Not Bad by Nature! [Vote for Monthly Ticket!]_2
This is a great opportunity!
Perhaps Wei Lingshan thought of this, and that’s why she suddenly attacked?
"Witch, how vicious!"
The Yashan Three Monsters didn’t know Wei Lingshan’s true motives, but though called ’Three Monsters,’ they were upright and even kind. Now seeing Wei Lingshan harming others, ’Strange Daoist’ An Mingshan and ’Strange Buddha’ Tang Xingquan charged out, shouting, "Witch, stop at once!"
Weird Scholar guarded the stage.
Daoist and Buddhist came to the rescue.
An Mingshan and Tang Xingquan attacked Wei Lingshan from left and right.
"Such nobodies dare act insolently?" Wei Lingshan turned to look, not recognizing them. She chuckled softly, her feet unmoving on the cliffside, her hands turned into illusory shadows swaying left and right, enveloping the monk and Daoist.
Tangled in a web, they found it hard to break free.
An Mingshan and Tang Xingquan climbed Chess Stone Peak before Wei Lingshan, but that didn’t mean their combat strength surpassed hers.
In fact, Wei Lingshan, as the fourth ’Chufeng,’ was exceptionally talented, being the daughter of the Black Hawk Sect’s hierarch, one of the Six Great Sects. She lacked no Divine Skill and Absolute Skill, and once she engaged, An Mingshan and Tang Xingquan immediately fell into a passive struggle, focusing wholly on countering her moves.
Unaware——
"Watch out!"
Two sudden shouts from front and back finally woke An and Tang.
Returning to their senses, they noticed how, unbeknownst to them, their positions had shifted during the fight with Wei Lingshan, bringing them dangerously close to the cliff’s edge, just a couple of steps away from falling off.
Conversely, Wei Lingshan.
Had already moved to the other side.
The situation was dire.
One of the voices was from the Weird Scholar Yu Saiji who, deeply bonded with the other two monsters, leaped from his occupied stage without hesitation when he saw the danger, rushing straight to the cliff’s edge.
Another voice was from earlier’s ’Chufeng’ twelfth ’Red Robe Gold Saber’ Sun Gui Fen, who, having narrowly escaped being knocked off by Wei Lingshan, finally reached the peak during the latter’s fight with the two monsters. Seeing them in peril, she abandoned her race to the stage to attack Wei Lingshan.
Not just Yu Saiji.
Not just Sun Gui Fen.
But also the ’Hidden Dragon’ fourteenth ’Sangmen Spear’ Gao Changyi, who, silent, charged at the witch for revenge after being previously scared out of his wits by her.
His sole focus was now on revenge——
"Let’s throw this witch off the cliff first!"
In that moment.
Wei Lingshan faced an onslaught from five masters. Her jade-like hands full of magic power, her moves with grace, she skillfully entangled all five.
One against five.
Wei Lingshan laughed charmingly, "Let’s sink together!"
Persistently pulling all five towards the cliff edge.
"This madwoman!"
"Witch! Witch! What diabolical nature——"
The Heavenly Masters were left staring.
Even Emperor Yan couldn’t help but shake his head, saying, "Crazy girl!"
The family’s Holy Daughter went mad and jumped off the cliff, yet ’White Eyebrow Eagle King’ Yang Wang seemed neither worried nor hurried, leisurely commenting, "Our Holy Daughter is just mischievous, her true nature isn’t bad."
Yes, yes!
She’s just mad!
Wei Lingshan was evidently aware that the court would provide a safety net, and Shen Wu would definitely rescue those who fell off the cliff, which emboldened her leap. With this understanding, whether she played ’whack-a-mole’ at the cliff’s edge or later dragged Sun Gui Fen and the other five to leap off ’Mutual Destruction,’ it was all just ’a joke.’
The grandmasters bitterly smiled.
Yet Tian Jing and Jiang Bianliu glanced below the cliff and were suddenly pleased——
Wei Lingshan went mad!
Knocking down four!
Six fell off the cliff!
Now four stages were vacant, and no one stood before Yan Chuan!
"There’s hope!"
The two rejoiced.
...
"Ah——"
Yan Chuan took another leap forward, suddenly hearing a scream from not far behind. Turning back, he saw five or six shadowy figures falling.
"Eh?"
Ding Xiang was startled.
She also heard the sound and saw the fall, momentarily puzzled. Looking up, she was clearly not far from the cliff’s top: "How can someone fall after reaching the top?"
Was there perhaps some other unseen factor at the cliff’s top?
"Or, did too many reach the top at once, and with only twelve stages available, they fought and accidentally fell?" Yan Chuan wondered.
If that were so, then by now, those twelve stages might’ve already been fully occupied.
But regardless, they were already near the top, and needed to firmly keep this last breath without relaxing——
"Keep going!"
"Reach the summit and see!"
The three combined their strengths, easily clearing the final thirty feet, with one last heave, they finally reached the top!
...
"Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai!"
Before Yan Chuan’s stature settled, he had already scanned the twelve stages arranged, observing that the Zi, Chou, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen stages were occupied, leaving five empty stages.
"Quick!"
Yan Chuan, watching in all directions, using ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ rushed to the last ’Hai Character’ stage.
Ding Xiang, Situ Fei simultaneously sprang towards the You and Xu stages.
As it happened, Shi Mingzhu, Shen Xia, Feng Nandi, and Ban Xianfu reached the top almost simultaneously, joining Yan Chuan, Ding Xiang, and Situ Fei to make it seven in total!
Seven individuals!
Yet only five stages left!
It seemed insufficient, but actually——
Shi Mingzhu and the ’Witch’ Wei Lingshan both hailed from the Black Hawk Sect, both studying at Jiyin Academy, allied with Gai Songlin’s team. Now that Gai Songlin occupied the ’Class A’ stage, Shi Mingzhu needn’t compete.
The same went for Shen Xia.
She was a disciple of Immortal Origin Academy, partaking in the same team as Situ Fei, and with Situ Fei secure on one stage, she felt no pressure.
But in the heat of the moment, who could consider all that?
No time to worry!
Except for Shi Mingzhu, Shen Xia themselves, Feng Nandi and Ban Xianfu were unaware they needn’t compete.
Everyone charged in, unable to deliberate too much.
Ban Xianfu’s form was like a knife, cutting a broad path towards the ’Yin Character’ stage.
Shi Mingzhu’s steps were quick as rain, her form swift as lightning, both moving from left and right towards the ’Yin Character’ stage.
Shen Xia and Feng Nandi simultaneously rushed for the ’Mao Character’ stage.
The four fervently contending.
Shen Xia and Feng Nandi were closer to the ’Yin Character’ stage; although slower than Ban Xianfu and Shi Mingzhu, they quickly reached the stage, settling the result faster.
"Ki~"
A subtle cry of a Fire Phoenix was heard as a fiery blaze flashed from Shen Xia’s body, propelling her forward with sudden speed, surging ahead to claim the stage!
"Alas!"
Feng Nandi delayed by a step, could only watch as Shen Xia claimed the ’Mao Character’ stage, unable to contest, but unwilling to give up, redirected to the ’Yin Character’ stage instead.
Though the stages were far apart.
Though Ban Xianfu and Shi Mingzhu were nearing ’Yin Character’!
But what if!
What if Ban Xianfu and Shi Mingzhu got caught up in a fight, injuring each other, giving him the chance?
Opportunities favor the prepared.
Unwilling to give up till the last, Feng Nandi rushed to the ’Yin Character’ stage.
But just after a few steps, he suddenly stopped, his expression peculiar.
He saw on the ’Yin Character’ stage, Ban Xianfu and Shi Mingzhu neck and neck towards the stage, Ban Xianfu just a step ahead, seemingly about to claim it, possibly marking him as the ’Hidden Dragon’ second to secure a stage.
But!
But!
But!
"Hahaha!"
"Ban Xianfu!"
"Look who I am?"
Suddenly, on the stage came a loud laugh, and a figure flipped up just before Ban Xianfu could, grinning with satisfaction.
Recognizing the voice.
No need to see faces.
It was ’Magic Child’ Tan Dou!
Fantastic Magic Child!
He had clearly reached the summit third, early on securing the ’Yin Character’ stage, yet after Yan Chuan, Ban Xianfu, and others reached the top, he quietly slipped off the stage, hiding behind and out of sight of those following. He waited deliberately for Ban Xianfu and Shi Mingzhu to approach before flipping back onto the stage.
Thriving on adrenaline!
Playing with minds!
