My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1544: Xiao Zheng, You’ve Been Tricked
Boom boom boom!
On the Sealing Altar, loud explosions sounded. It was the collision of Gang Qi. At this moment, the eight candidates for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch were clashing fiercely together in intense battle.
Nearly ten thousand Martial Artists held their breaths as they watched the four arenas. The fierce battle displayed by the Martial Artists on them caused them to occasionally exclaim in awe. Such a top-level Martial Saint-tier confrontation was usually something they would never have the chance to witness.
However, despite the exciting fights on each arena, most of the attention was focused on Xiao Zheng and Yue You.
In the previous candidate selection, Xiao Zheng displayed overwhelming strength, while Yue You was the only woman among the eight, possessing astonishing beauty. Such a confrontation naturally drew attention.
Swish!
At this time, Yue You had already transformed into a shadow, flashing across the arena. Even Xiao Zheng had no way to capture her presence, seemingly because of a top-level movement technique.
Xiao Zheng slightly furrowed his brow. Since he couldn’t capture the opponent’s presence, he might as well adapt to the situation, standing still and watching attentively, knowing that the opponent would eventually attack.
With his mind focused, Xiao Zheng’s heart gave birth to a thought. He immediately calmed his breath, revealing no flaws from head to toe.
Yue You, who was moving around the arena, at this moment showed a look of indignant frustration. Because the enemy in front of her seemed to be just standing there, yet she could feel that no matter where she attacked, a storm-like counterattack would ensue.
No flaws!
No gaps!
Even though she relied on that top-level movement technique to make it impossible for the opponent to capture her whereabouts, she also could not sneak attack him. At this moment, both sides were in a stalemate.
What made Yue You frown with worry was that although she could bear the continuous movement in the arena, if it went on for too long, it would weaken her combat power. This outcome might lead to her defeat!
"I can’t wait any longer," Yue You thought, and then a decisive light flashed in her beautiful eyes. Her body flickered and suddenly approached Xiao Zheng, one hand flickering, abruptly stabbing straight at Xiao Zheng’s throat vital point.
The dagger gleamed with dazzling cold light!
An intense gleam flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes. He had already prepared for this attack. Reaching out, he gently grasped the dagger. His palm was filled with Gang Qi, and he held the dagger’s sharp edge without any harm.
But as the dagger was grasped, a slight chuckle appeared on Yue You’s face, and she said, "You’ve been tricked." With that, Yue You abruptly let go, and then her other slender jade hand suddenly sliced through the air, stabbing toward Xiao Zheng’s heart.
Buzz!
Gang Qi shimmered, enveloping Yue You’s hand, making her hand look as beautiful as pure jade, yet within this beauty, there was a chilling murderous intent that made one’s skin crawl in fear!
This first attack by Yue You seemed so ruthless and decisive, but it turned out to be a feint. Her real trump card was that jade-like hand!
This scene changed in a flash. On the Sealing Altar, only those Martial Artists with profound cultivation could barely make it out.
They couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, and the look in their eyes toward Yue You suddenly gained a sense of respect. Such battle techniques were truly exquisite!
A hint of surprise also flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes. Yue You’s performance was quite commendable, but for him, it was still a bit lacking.
Swish!
Xiao Zheng’s fingers suddenly moved, so quickly that they became a blur. Soon, he went from holding the dagger’s blade to gripping its hilt, then with a flash of cold light in his eyes, he forcefully swung it.
Swoosh!
The dagger whistled out, directly toward Yue You’s jade hand.
Xiao Zheng had already infused the dagger with Gang Qi, and it was particularly sharp. Therefore, this whistling strike was extremely fierce. It could pierce through not only Yue You’s jade hand but even thick steel.
If Yue You didn’t dodge at that moment, she would be pierced by the dagger!
Cold sweat poured down from all over Yue You. She never expected that in such a nimble and swift confrontation, the opponent would also display such high-level techniques. However, she was unwilling to give up just like that!
Yue You gritted her teeth, a look of resolution flashing in her eyes. Not only did she not dodge, but her hand reached even faster toward Xiao Zheng’s heart, determined to attack Xiao Zheng’s vital point!
Yue You had already made up her mind that even if she lost a hand, as long as she could defeat Xiao Zheng, it would be worthwhile. To become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, one cannot expect to achieve it without some sacrifice.
As for the battle after that, Yue You didn’t think about it anymore. In battle, one must be entirely committed; otherwise, it’s seeking one’s own death.
Xiao Zheng was quite surprised; he never thought that this woman had such courage and daring, comparable to any man.
And now Yue You’s jade hand was already very close to his heart. Even if he wanted to retreat, it was a bit too late.
Xiao Zheng chuckled wryly, never expecting to genuinely encounter some trouble.
"You’ve done well!" Xiao Zheng smiled as he complimented, and then his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Boom!
A terrifying burst of Gang Qi surged out from Xiao Zheng’s heart.
Yue You’s jade hand charged forward, but as it collided with the Gang Qi, it was as if it had hit a solid wall, unable to advance further.
However, the powerful penetrating force still managed to penetrate the Gang Qi and strike Xiao Zheng, causing him to take a step back, his face slightly pale.
A look of loss flashed in Yue You’s eyes. This carefully prepared attack, in the end, still failed. Swoosh! At this time, the dagger had already whistled toward her. Yue You had no choice but to barely evade, but could only dodge part of it. The dagger instantly left a horrific wound on Yue You’s arm, with blood gushing out, dyeing her jade-like beautiful hand red.
Yue You grunted and retreated rapidly.
This exchange ended in mutual injury. Although Xiao Zheng narrowly avoided a fatal attack, he also suffered a moderate impact.
The crowd gasped, the exchange happened in just one or two moves, and it all occurred in the blink of an eye, yet the level of danger was hair-raisingly intense!
In such a situation, a slight misstep could have led to immediate defeat on the arena, losing the qualification to compete for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch!
In their hearts, they shivered with awe. As expected of a Martial Saint, such techniques were earth-shattering. Without extraordinary strength, it couldn’t be achieved.
On the arena, Yue You said coldly, "Next time, you won’t be so lucky!"
