Chapter 284: Chapter 45: Longevity Fruit Acquired! Bloodthirsty Vine Achieves Merit (6300-Word Chapter)
Sure, here is the translation:
...
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Sword aura scattered across the arena, with snow and ice flying all around.
Jii Mingyu’s offensive was like a tidal wave, one after another, relentless, leaving no room for breath.
Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe was executing defense to the extreme, not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes, defending every move flawlessly.
He didn’t even waste Profound Qi to let the Cosmic Palace Sword unleash Sword Qi to attack but focused all his attention on defense.
As a result, the fight naturally didn’t look impressive.
The Profound Ice Hall crowd was thrilled, shouting eagerly, "Senior Brother Mingyu, keep pushing, break his turtle shell, he can barely hold on."
In contrast,
The disciples of Eternal Spring Valley were slightly disappointed, as Senior Brother Shouzhe was clearly being suppressed and hadn’t found a chance to counterattack.
Some even started discussing it privately.
"What do you know?" Senior Brother Jinshan scolded softly, "Choosing tactics according to your opponent is the norm. Our Eternal Spring True Technique excels in endurance. As long as you keep exhausting him, Jii Mingyu will eventually run out of Profound Qi and be defeated."
"But Senior Brother Jinshan," a new disciple whispered, "Senior Brother Jii Mingyu is already at the Third Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm. His Profound Qi is extremely abundant. How can it be exhausted?"
"This..." Senior Brother Jinshan hesitated, "Maybe Senior Brother Shouzhe has other plans." Even he didn’t sound confident anymore.
People both below the arena and in the sky were discussing this battle fervently.
But Jii Mingyu and Wang Shouzhe were both immersed in their fight, ignoring everything else around them.
Wang Shouzhe was amazed by the immense strength of Jii Mingyu’s offense.
And Jii Mingyu was equally amazed by Wang Shouzhe’s unparalleled defense, seemingly at just the First Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, yet his Profound Qi was endless, as if a bottomless pit.
What shocked Jii Mingyu even more was.
His Profound Ice Sword Qi and a few Ice Blades had broken through Wang Shouzhe’s defense several times, tearing his Ancient Tree Armor and inflicting some injuries.
But this guy just shed a few drops of blood, then seemed fine, continuing to fight energetically.
Fearsome defense ability, fearsome recovery ability, fearsome Profound Qi bottomless pit.
"Junior Brother Shouzhe," Jii Mingyu said with a calm smile, "If you think you can exhaust my Profound Qi with defense, you’re mistaken. This is the Profound Ice Hall, set atop a top-tier Profound Ice Spiritual Vein, giving me a home-court advantage to continuously replenish my Profound Qi."
"Although it can’t match my consumption, it’s enough to exhaust you."
"This is bad, I knew something was wrong! Overlooked the home-court of the Profound Ice Hall." Senior Brother Jinshan’s expression changed, "If it were in our Eternal Spring Valley, Senior Brother Shouzhe would have a chance, but here..."
With even Senior Brother Jinshan’s expression changed, the other disciples of Eternal Spring Valley naturally felt demoralized and started doubting Senior Brother Shouzhe’s chances.
At the same time.
On the arena stage.
Wang Shouzhe chuckled lightly, saying, "Brother Mingyu, before boasting, maybe check your footing."
"Footing?"
Jii Mingyu was slightly startled, only to see some green tender branches mysteriously appearing on the arena floor.
Those tender branches were growing extremely fast, shooting up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly!
A branch wrapped around Jii Mingyu’s foot.
Jii Mingyu’s expression changed immediately, realizing it was bad. He, too, had overlooked that Wang Shouzhe was a disciple of the Eternal Spring Valley.
The disciples of Eternal Spring Valley excel at cultivation.
Some experts even cultivate various battle plants.
If it were the ordinary disciple of Eternal Spring Valley, this advantage could be ignored. But Wang Shouzhe himself was already a tough opponent.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Jii Mingyu’s sword moved like a dragon, and wherever the Sword Aura passed, it was like mowing grass, quickly cutting the wildly growing vines into countless pieces.
Yet regrettably.
Wang Shouzhe had already spread the vine seeds across the entire arena during the fight just now.
Although Jii Mingyu cut fast, he couldn’t stop the vines from growing wildly.
Soon, the entire arena gradually turned into a sea of green, with vines dancing through the air, like the Witch’s long hair floating, chilling the heart.
The situation seemed to have turned around.
The ocean of the Vine Array was occupying much of Jii Mingyu’s attention. He couldn’t stop; otherwise, being entangled by the vines would make him sink deeper, eventually immobilizing him.
"Hahaha," Senior Brother Jinshan laughed, "I told you, our Senior Brother Shouzhe sure has a trick up his sleeve. Jii Mingyu fell for it, just like before with Mu Yuanbai, sooner or later it’s defeat."
"Senior brother, that’s two words."
Senior Brother Jinshan’s face changed: "What do you know, kid? I’m just telling a joke to relax everyone, maybe even distract Jii Mingyu a bit."
"Senior Brother Jinshan is wise." The new disciples broke out in sweat.
With the change in situation, it was now the Profound Ice Hall disciples’ turn to worry.
Meanwhile.
Yuwen Jianye and Wang Zongsheng hid in a corner, fearing they wouldn’t be able to resist cheering for Wang Shouzhe and then get beaten as a result.
Yuwen Jianye commented in a whisper, "Zongsheng, I thought Luqiu Big Sister was already impressive, but I didn’t expect your Fourth Uncle to be even tougher. He’s suppressing even the famous Jii Mingyu."
"Of course," Wang Zongsheng said proudly, "My Fourth Uncle rarely steps in, but even if Fifth Aunt and Sixth Aunt joined forces, they aren’t a match for Fourth Uncle."
