Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 262: Berserk Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Finale)
Mu Wu knew that Jiang Lai wanted to seek revenge through the Life and Death Arena, so she didn’t reveal her cultivation and took to the arena in a forced combat stance.
Below the stage, the crowd was abuzz with discussion.
The Life and Death Arena hadn’t had a challenger for a long time. After all, once on this stage, it’s usually a matter of life and death. Because it’s so bloody and violent, sects rarely encourage their disciples to send out life-and-death challenges.
So after such a long time, with someone standing on the Life and Death Arena again, almost everyone in the sect knew about it. Even before Jiang Lai and Mu Wu arrived, the area beneath the arena was already packed with people.
The disciples from Tiangang Sect in black were the most noticeable; everyone now knew the Tiangang Sect. Looking at them, people were extra courteous, even those who usually wouldn’t spare a smile were now especially warm and friendly.
The Fourth Senior Brother whispered disdainfully,
"A bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites, are their faces all this thick?"
The First Senior Brother, however, kept his eyes fixed on the stage.
"Don’t mind those people, Junior Sister is up there."
The senior brothers immediately perked up, and Wu Lie stood below as Jiang Lai waved and smiled at him.
Soon, Mu Wu also appeared. Unlike the flamboyant beauty she was at their first meeting, Mu Wu now had eyes full of gloom and ambiguity. She looked at Jiang Lai, struggling to suppress her anger and reluctance.
"Did you split the scroll from the Ancestor with your senior brothers? How noble of you. What a pity, if you had kept it all to yourself, you might have ascended already."
"Am I that close with you? How I handle the scroll is up to me, none of your business."
Mu Wu’s eyes darkened, her hands tightly clenched under her long sleeves.
"In that case, I won’t hold back."
Saying this, Mu Wu drew the soft sword from her waist and aimed it at Jiang Lai’s vital point.
The life-and-death duel began.
Seeing the sword in Mu Wu’s hand, there was another round of exclamations from the audience.
"That’s one of the Secret Realm’s treasures, the Sky Rainbow Spirit Sword, a top-level spiritual artifact! And it ended up in Mu Wu’s hands!"
"Jiang Lai is in danger now. Judging by Mu Wu’s demeanor, she must have mastered the sword manual. Once on the arena, there’s no going back. Why would she do something so foolish as to challenge Mu Wu? Isn’t this asking for death?"
At this moment, Mu Wu had already soared into the air. With a terrifying Sword Qi gathering in the sky, countless cold white sword flowers rained down like swift raindrops, appearing to tear the air wherever they went, dazzling and leaving no room to counterattack.
"Mu Wu’s intent is to kill Jiang Lai with one strike!"
Once the arrow is shot from the bow, there’s no turning back. As she descended from the air, the chaotic and complex sword flowers had already filled the sky over the arena, leaving Jiang Lai nowhere to hide or escape, and Mu Wu herself was also within this confinement.
It’s completely a move aimed at hurting the enemy by a thousand and oneself by eight hundred.
The senior brothers below couldn’t bear to watch anymore, and Wu Lie was even about to rush out, only to be held back tightly by the First Senior Brother.
"Junior Sister said she has a plan, don’t be impulsive!"
"I don’t care!"
"Don’t you trust her?!"
At this moment, the overwhelming Sword Qi pressed down. Because the arena had long been enveloped by a layer of Spiritual Power Shield, the Sword Qi was furiously annihilating everything within the shield!
This terrifying Sword Qi continued for a long time and finally stopped. When everyone looked inside again, even the arena was shattered to pieces, but except for the Spiritual Power Shield left by the Ancestor, everything inside the arena had turned to fragments.
Mu Wu was already battered and bruised, though protected by her sword manual against the Sword Qi, she couldn’t withstand this dreadful power, and her body was a horrifying mess of flesh.
As she searched around the arena frantically, Jiang Lai was surely shredded by the Sword Qi, but there were no severed limbs, no remains around her, and even the blood seemed to be her own.
Where was Jiang Lai?
She looked around desperately, her blood-red eyes filled with disbelief.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from above.
"Are you looking for me?"
Mu Wu looked up in shock, and the next second, Jiang Lai was high above, holding a huge Spirit Stone which he smashed down fiercely!
Already rendered defenseless by her own Sword Qi, Mu Wu’s legs were crushed beneath the Spirit Stone.
First, her eyes widened in rage, and as she confirmed she couldn’t feel her legs, she let out a heart-wrenching roar.
"Jiang Lai!!!"
Jiang Lai stood in front of her.
"I forgot to tell you, the Ancestor left not only a scroll but also a Bodhi Space. The scroll went to the senior brother, and the space to me. So now I’m telling you, this is what it means to be hoisted with your own petard."
With that, Jiang Lai crouched down and smiled at Mu Wu.
"You’ve always wanted to trample me underfoot, haven’t you? This time I won’t kill you, but if there’s a next time, I won’t hold back."
"Kill me!!"
Jiang Lai ignored her and walked off the arena, waving at the senior brothers.
Wu Lie strode over, carefully inspecting Jiang Lai before pulling her into a hug.
"You’re amazing, but next time let me handle such things."
Jiang Lai looked at his face and nodded in contentment.
"Alright, from now on, you go first, I’ll follow up."
The Fourth Senior Brother obliviously squeezed over.
"Junior Sister, Junior Sister, in the future, I can go too! Even if it’s walking on swords!"
Wu Lie kicked him aside without a change in expression.
"Get in line."
——
Afterward, there was no more news of Mu Wu in the sect.
It’s said that after the life-and-death duel, her legs were crippled, and coupled with her Sword Qi self-injury damaging her Spirit Vein, she became similar to Ye Yunzhou.
But unexpectedly, Ye Yunzhou, when everyone thought he was completely ruined, managed to reshape his Spirit Vein and rose from adversity, once again standing at the pinnacle of the Three Sects.
The next year, during the trial, the people from Tiangang Sect didn’t go, instead opting to journey to the Human World for some leisure. Half a year later, when they returned, they found out that before them, Zhang Qingqing had repeatedly risked her life during this trial only to be eventually bitten to death by a venomous insect.
Several years later, the First Senior Brother ascended.
Not long after, the Third Senior Brother also ascended.
The Fourth Senior Brother’s cultivation remained stable, unchanged for years, yet he was content and unhurried, living leisurely in search of treasures and rare items.
Later on, Jiang Lai stayed in the Human World for nearly a hundred years, during which time she even encountered Mu Wu at a tea house.
After her legs were crippled, Mu Wu never stood up again. After leaving Penglai, she opened a tea house in the Human World to earn a living.
Jiang Lai drank a cup of tea at her shop and left a Spirit Stone as payment.
A hundred years later, Jiang Lai felt the time was about right.
Though she liked Wu Lie, she had more important things to do, and Little Buding was growing impatient, fearing she would truly become lost in this immortality and lose touch with reality.
Fortunately, she remained clear-headed and directly asked Wu Lie if he would be willing to live as a mundane couple with her in the Human World.
Wu Lie agreed without hesitation, and together they both gave up their cultivation, staying in the Human World to live together for decades. After Jiang Lai passed away, Wu Lie soon followed.
