System's Super Sect-Chapter 590 - 587. Who says we’ll definitely lose?

At this moment, Long Ke still held the Dragon Beard in her hand.

Situ Xiuneng secretly speculated that the short Dragon Beard that had been thrown out earlier was probably the Vein Technique.

Given its lethality, it could never be allowed to be thrown out when the opponent was close enough, otherwise even if he had a weapon to block, it would be too late.

Therefore, she absolutely must not conceal herself again.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Three sounds of Vibrating Vein Sound echoed.

The surrounding Fire Wall suddenly rose a bit higher, and the countless tiny fiery threads suddenly became thicker and more numerous. If just now it was like a dense drizzle, at this moment it was a torrential downpour. Each fiery thread, as it passed or collided with Long Ke’s body, would emit a clanging sound, as if an Iron Sword had struck a Shield.

Although the Crimson Spirit Body was currently protecting her, Long Ke discovered a major problem.

Since she threw out a Killing Technique once, she changed direction, trying to conceal herself.

However, her Vein Technique couldn’t withstand for even three breaths before being cracked by the surrounding fiery threads, her body once again exposed to the opponent’s eyes.

Then, Long Ke repeatedly tried several times.

All without exception ended in failure!

This Third Mechanism Realm of Thousand Leaps, unintentionally restrained her Dragon Scale Spike Vein Technique.

Without entering a state of concealment to fully charge the Dragon Scale Spike, it lacked significant lethality, and with Situ Xiuneng using weapons, at most, it could just push Situ Xiunen back a dozen steps like earlier.

But what’s the point of that?

"Must break through first!"

Long Ke quickly devised a plan to break the "Cage" in her mind, not only to better unleash the Dragon Scale Spike but also to avoid Situ Xiuneng’s attacks.

The thousands of fiery threads currently posed little harm to her Crimson Spirit Body but were feverishly consuming the Spirit Body’s energy, which was indeed unfavorable for the ongoing battle.

Moreover, as long as she broke through.

Even if the opponent possessed weapons to continuously counter her Dragon Scale Spike, she could guarantee it would make the opponent’s arms unable to lift.

As she was pondering, Situ Xiuneng’s voice came through.

"Can’t hide, can you?"

Long Ke replied defiantly, "Even without concealing myself, I can still kill you."

Situ Xiuneng laughed rather than got angry, saying, "Girl, I don’t know who taught you. But the fact that you’ve grown to this step indeed proves you have ability. However, your weaknesses are too apparent, cultivation time is too short, high Realm, high Spirit Body Realm, but the Vein Technique isn’t very proficient. Well, if at your age you had reached the peak in everything, that would be unfair."

Long Ke snorted coldly and said, "Don’t speak too soon, or you might not have the chance to take it back."

With that, Long Ke went at full power, charging toward the Fire Wall.

The intention was clear, she had to rush out of the Fire Wall and leave the area covered by the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill.

"Want to leave?"

Situ Xiuneng wouldn’t give that chance.

Alongside three sounds of Vibrating Vein Sound, Fire Vine appeared again, accompanied by thousands of fiery threads attacking Long Ke.

Although Fire Vine was Second Mechanism Realm, it wasn’t weak. Compared to the steady flow of Third Mechanism Realm, it focused more on explosiveness, which was more useful at this moment.

If Long Ke wanted to charge out, then he would use Fire Vine to smack her back!

Bam!

Dozens of Fire Vines instantaneously lashed at Long Ke’s previous position.

Though Long Ke dodged, the dozens of remaining Fire Vines were still pursuing her, like long snakes that wouldn’t relent without food.

...

As the battle went hot and heavy, those watching above the Main Hall wore worried expressions.

Elder Zhao was at a disadvantage.

The crowd was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Why doesn’t Elder Zhao use Magic?

"Sword Control Skill, indeed!"

"Elder Zhao recently only cultivated in Wind Valley; the trial of Wind’s Shackles is still missing the last stone gate, Hurricane Skill hasn’t broken the last wind eye, Wind Demon is yet to be slightly defeated. All just nearly... she definitely wants to, but must master it first."

As everyone discussed, Yang Lele spoke up.

"Elder Zi, is there still hope in this battle?"

Accompanied by everyone’s eager gaze, Zi Ran shook his head, "Elder Zhao realized she’s at a disadvantage in the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill, so she wants to break out. But Situ Xiuneng won’t give her the chance... Just watch, there’s still the Fourth Mechanism Realm. Then, with the Vein Technique, long spear, and Meridian Gate all working together, Elder Zhao’s defeat isn’t far."

Zhantian Qingxuan hastily added, "Then let’s just end the battle early."

If Elder Zhao lost, it would tarnish the reputation of the Immortal Sect.

Everyone turned their eyes to Wen Ping.

Wen Ping responded calmly, "Why the rush? When else would Elder Zhao find an Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression opponent to practice against? Now one has come to her, why not continue?"

"But..."

Zhantian Qingxuan wanted to say more but was interrupted by Wen Ping.

Wen Ping said, "Elder Zhantian, the sense of Sect honor is certainly important, but don’t fear failure. If Elder Zhao fails this time, she will undoubtedly work hard in cultivation and won’t make the same mistake next time."

"Understood."

Zhantian Qingxuan nodded in realization.

Just as the crowd moved their gaze again, Wen Ping suddenly spoke again.

"Besides, the outcome isn’t certain yet, is it?"

Compared to everyone else, Zi Ran’s expression was the most puzzled.

Did she not explain clearly enough earlier?

With that long spear, how could Elder Zhao possibly win? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

...

Below Cangwu City.

Originally carrying debris, Luan Yue and another person looked up, suddenly stunned.

The fiery light soaring from Yunlan Mountain entered their view—they recognized this as the flame display of the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill.

"A battle broke out at the Immortal Sect!"

Luan Yue hastily put down the rubble in her hands.

Hei Shan also put down the stone block, then patted the worker next to him and said, "You all keep busy, I’ll get some drinks for you and be right back."

After speaking, the two of them didn’t wait for the workers’ words of thanks and quickly ran towards the side of Yunlan Mountain.

They couldn’t ascend Yunlan Mountain.

To see what was happening, they could only go to a mountain closer to Yunlan Mountain, outside the Immortal Sect.

From that peak, perhaps they could see what’s happening on Yunlan Mountain.

For a long time, when they reached the mountaintop and looked towards Yunlan Mountain, they were simultaneously stunned by the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill, which was several times more magnificent than Lu Ming’s.

"Situ Xiu!"

Only Situ Xiu’s Thousand Leaping Artery Skill could be so grand.

Back then, Lu Ming’s Thousand Leaping Artery Skill couldn’t compare; even from a thousand meters away, one could tell with the naked eye.

Hei Yu showed a worried expression and said, "He’s actually gone to the top of the Immortal Sect, isn’t he going to avenge his apprentice Xia Jin?"

...

Inside the Fire Cage.

Long Ke seemed to try several times, each time just about to reach the Fire Wall, Situ Xiu’s attack would arrive.

The defense of the Fire Wall was not low; she felt she had to give it her all to break through. But if she fully attacked the Fire Wall, she would be giving her back to Situ Xiu for a few moments.

Situ Xiu’s attacks were strong; she didn’t dare to take them head-on.

Situ Xiu spoke, his words filled with confidence, "Girl, since you can’t break out, let this old man send you on your last journey."

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The powerful sound of Vibrating Vein echoed.

Thousand Leaps·Fourth Mechanism Realm—Release!

At this moment, each fire pillar suddenly released a pale red energy, flying out from the middle, and then directly entering Situ Xiu’s body.

Originally at the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, the aura suddenly skyrocketed, and the momentum followed suit.

In just a couple of breaths, when looking at Situ Xiu again, his body was already enveloped in a pale red glow.

At the wrist, chest, three Vortex Maps began to spin.

Amplification activated!

As this power entered the longspear, Situ Xiu’s aura abruptly halted, stopping at Half-Step Earth Unrestricted.

"The power of Half-Step Earth Unrestricted."

Feeling this power, Situ Xiu couldn’t hide the joy at the corner of his mouth.

He hadn’t expected that after so long, when using this spear again, the power amplification could transcend realms.

Seeing this, Long Ke’s expression changed slightly, and a sense of alertness flooded her heart like a torrent.

Actually, she still had one more move.

But in the Thousand Leaps, she couldn’t conceal her form, so she couldn’t use that move.

Facing an opponent whose power had been raised to Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, she suddenly didn’t know what to do.

This was the first time she had such a feeling.

And it was the first time she felt this way about someone from Heaven and Earth Lake.

Previously, she thought Heaven and Earth Lake was a backward place, without even one Earth Unrestricted. Today, she realized she was wrong.

She had underestimated Heaven and Earth Lake.

In such a vast world, it indeed had its foundation.

Suddenly, Situ Xiu shouted angrily, "Take this spear of mine!"

Where the spear pointed, it instantly reached her eyes.

Long Ke hurriedly lifted her Dragon Beard to deflect the spear’s tip, but the Dragon Beard, which never bent, was bent this time as it touched the flame-wrapped spear tip, failing to deflect Situ Xiu’s attack.

Then, Situ Xiu’s spear suddenly shook, and a wave of Qi burst forth.

Bang—

Long Ke was directly knocked back ten steps.

Before Long Ke could steady herself, Situ Xiu rushed over again, the spear directly pressed against Long Ke’s chest. Long Ke immediately used her Vein Qi Shield to block, but the Vein Qi Shield instantly shattered, and the spear directly pierced the Mountain-Suppressing Armor.

Long Ke was knocked back another ten steps.

Fire Vine!

Thousands of red threads!

They still fell like rain, forcing Long Ke to divert her attention to avoid them.

Inadvertently, the spear swept over again, striking the Mountain-Suppressing Armor, sending Long Ke flying, rotating a dozen times in the air before landing.

As soon as she landed, she had no time to breathe before Situ Xiu pressed forward again.

Seeing this, Zi Ran and others showed expressions of concern.

Long Ke’s defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

If Long Ke could break through the Fire Wall of the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill, she might still have some room to breathe.

But Long Ke couldn’t break out.

"Sect Leader, Elder Zhao is going to lose."

"Situ Xiu is indeed a bit too strong; no wonder he could become a Silver Level Chief."

Everyone started discussing again.

Zi Ran, Bainian Xiang, and others immediately looked at Wen Ping.

Because Wen Ping had said that this battle wouldn’t necessarily be lost?

Then they heard Wen Ping say, "It seems, this spear is indeed not something Elder Zhao can handle."
