Dugu Muyou was blocked by the piercing branches that was swift in front of her. This branch was sharp and unusual, and the lines on it were dense. Compared with other branches, this one contained double spiritual energy. Its strength and power were doubled. With her current power, Dugu Muyou couldn't cut off this branch made of spiritual power at once.
At the same time, there were some thick branches chasing after her and blocking her back. Whether she moved or stood, her result was being pierced into a sieve.
She was in a dilemma. The speed of Dugu Muyou was quick, and she passed the branches pierced from all sides. A branch rubbed her thigh, and the blood was like a blooming flower in the air. Regardless of this, she started to treat her wound with the light around her body.
In a very short time, Dugu Muyou and the thorns in front were very close. She separated a solid spiritual qi from Yuehua Diamond and injected it into the dagger in her hand. The color of this spiritual qi became denser than the previous one, and there was a sense of constant and endless circulation in it. Dugu Muyou leaped up high, thrusting the dagger straight down towards the branch.
A branch was cut off, and the cut was as flat as a smooth sea. The branch formed by the black spiritual qi collapsed from the cut little by little. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dugu Muyou's toes touched on the part that had not yet completely collapsed. She avoided another branch and rushed upwards.
At this moment, the audience on the stands looked at Ring 1. A black giant tree suddenly grew there. It occupied the Ring and covered all the sky, forming a huge cage. The two cultivators missed. People questioned one after another, but those who understood this scene didn't say a word and stared at the ring.
Suddenly, Hua Qingshui was overjoyed and said, "She is coming out!"
Above the ring, a slender figure flew out of the giant tree, and the branches that caught up vanished in her wave.
There were deafening cheers in the trial garden, and Dugu Muyou didn't notice it. Her figure paused in the air. Countless green ribbons flew out from the dagger in her hand and rushed straight to the giant tree.
These ribbons were as sharp as swords that could cut everything. Wherever she went, the thick black branches were cut off. Every time Dugu Muyou turned her wrist, countless branches were cut by these ribbons and vanished little by little.
The size of the giant tree shrank rapidly, and before the new branches grew, they were cut by these ribbons. However, within few breaths, this huge tree that was indestructible at first was destroyed.
"She wins!" Hua Qingyue jumped up from his seat. "She wins! She wins!"
With sincere joy on his face, he yelled like a child. Hua Qingshui let his younger brother bounce around, and his tight face was eased.
Dugu Xiao heard the voices of the two brothers and said with a humph, "It is undecided! It is too early to be happy."
Hua Qingyue showed Dugu Xiao a supercilious look, put his hands on his chest and lazily said, "She is better than your son, whose injury won't be better within a month because of his defeat."
Dugu Xiao looked bad and utterly discomfited. His teeth gritted and made a "creaking" sound, but in the end, he did not speak.
Zhao Xue's face changed drastically. She thought that Dugu Muyou would lose. Who would know that such a turning point would happen? She looked at her daughter, and she, who was very confident at first, suddenly became suspicious. Could Dugu Piaopiao win Dugu Qinglan and Dugu Muyou?
She might think too much. Zhao Xue started to comfort herself. She tugged Dugu Zhong's sleeve with a stiff smile and asked, "Zhong, what's going on?"
Dugu Zhong looked at Zhao Xue with a complicated expression. The performance of Dugu Muyou was beyond his expectations. He couldn't believe that Dugu Muyou had such strength, but he saw it. After all, he was the head of the family with a high rank of cultivation. With the facts in front of him, he could no longer deceive himself.
"If everything goes well, Dugu Muyou will win."
"Then..."
Zhao Xue didn't finish her sentence, but Dugu Zhong understood her. She wanted to ask who was better between Dugu Piaopiao and Dugu Muyou. From the current situation...
Dugu Zhong didn't want to think more about it because Dugu Piaopiao was his beloved daughter.
Ji Chengyu did not miss any contest in the Dugus, and today he came to Trial Hall in time.
"Miss Muyou is so great," Ji Chengyu said with a smile.
Dugu Zhong reluctantly smiled and said modestly, "Your Highness flatter her. She just has some luck."
Ji Chengyu stared at Dugu Muyou with great interest. He said, " After the trial, I want to invite Miss Muyou to the palace. Will you agree?"
Zhao Xue's face changed slightly, and she grabbed her clothes with her hands and rubbed them back and forth.
Dugu Zhong's eyes flashed, and he knew his implication. That day the Fifth Prince talked to him secretly and mentioned it. Now he said that he wanted to invite Dugu Muyou to the palace. Nobody received such a treatment. Looking at the Fifth Prince's current look, Dugu Zhong knew that he was interested in Dugu Muyou and wanted her to do things for him.
Dugu Zhong gave him a salute and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I believe that Muyou will accept the invitation happily."
"Good!" Ji Chengyu slapped his hands. "It is decided, and I will invite her when the trial is over."
Ji Chengyu looked down with his wary and foxy eyes.
In Ring 1, after the giant tree collapsed, Dugu Ziteng reappeared. At this time, his face was pale. Although there was no injury on his body, he looked bad as if he was severely injured inside.
This giant tree was transformed by using his spiritual qi. The thick branches were difficult to form, so it would bring a serious burden to his body. He thought that Dugu Muyou could be defeated quickly, but he didn't expect that he would fight with her for so long. In the end, she destroyed the giant tree and broke his spells.
Struggling to stabilize his trembling legs and looking at the figure above the sky, Dugu Ziteng was so anger that his eyes seemed about to pop out. How could he lose?
But there was very little spiritual qi left in his body. It was hard for him to continue, but the person in the sky was fine. The previous miserable experiences flashed in his mind. Dugu Ziteng thought of Dugu Yaoyao, and his anger burned like a flame.
This bad woman lived happily, but they could only accept the fate of being trampled upon. Why would this happen? He was unwilling to lose like this! Dugu Ziteng did not notice that he blamed Dugu Muyou for all his injustice. He became extremely angry because of Dugu Yaoyao's words.
With his right hand in his sleeve, Dugu Ziteng touched a piece of rough paper, which he got from Dugu Yaoyao last night.
"This is a spell that I prepared for you. Last time Dugu Muyou saw us, so I worried that she would take the opportunity to disadvantage you. If she did something that threatened your life in the trial tomorrow, you could use this to save your life. However, the consequence of using it is very serious, so you can't use it unless you're in danger."
Dugu Yaoyao took out a folded yellowed paper and handed it to Dugu Ziteng. He took the piece of paper, turned it over and glanced at it.
"What are the consequences of using it?" Dugu Ziteng asked.
"Your body will suffer severe pain, and the severe injuries won't recover for several months or even a whole year. The damage to the body is terrible, so it should not be used casually."
Dugu Ziteng's face changed slightly and took it carefully.
Dugu Yaoyao felt worried and said again, "You must ensure that you won't use it easily!"
Dugu Ziteng nodded and agreed.
Squeezing the paper in his sleeve, Dugu Ziteng suddenly laughed. His smile was pale, which showed his despair and madness.
Dugu Muyou was condescending in the air, and Dugu Ziteng's smile gave her a creepy feeling. She landed and said, "You can give up."
"Give up? I haven't lost yet!"
"Then don't blame me."
With a sneer, the majestic spiritual qi flowed out, which suddenly formed into a giant sword, spanning the entire ring. Dugu Muyou waved her hand, and the knife was chopped down.
On the side of Ring 1, Dugu Qinglan looked at the stage with a smile. It was a sure-win situation. Dugu Ziteng was exhausted. The battle just now gave him much pressure, and Dugu Muyou did not feel tired at all. Dugu Qinglan was surprised to find that Muyou's injuries were almost healed.
When thinking about what happened, Dugu Qinglan suddenly looked at Dugu Ziteng.
At this time, Dugu Ziteng stood on the Ring and was a little unstable. He looked pale and gasped with his mouth. Facing Dugu Muyou's attack, he should have tried his best to avoid her at this time, but he stood there for some reasons. He stared at the front. It was visible that his pale skin shriveled little by little. It seemed that all his flesh and blood disappeared, and there were even fine lines on his face. He looked like an old man.
Dugu Qinglan squinted her eyes.
Her heart did a flip, and she wanted to remind. However, when she saw the puzzled expression on Dugu Muyou's face, Dugu Qinglan gave up the idea. It was okay for her to watch from the side, but she couldn't give a voice reminder, otherwise it would be regarded as a violation of the rules. Seeing Dugu Muyou's expression, Dugu Qinglan thought that Dugu Muyou should have known it.
Dugu Muyou found that Dugu Ziteng's body was declining rapidly. He suddenly changed from a strong young man to an old man, which was obviously not right.
Dugu Muyou thought of something she had seen in the book.
There were some spells in this world that could briefly stimulate the human body's potential at a huge price. The price was terrible and self-destructive. The people who used these spells would be seriously injured and even died.
Therefore, people hardly wanted to use this kind of spell and avoid them. Who would like to make fun of his life? However, there were some people who were willing to take the risk for some purposes.
Dugu Muyou was doubtful. Dugu Ziteng obviously used this kind of spell. But she couldn't understand why he did this so desperately. She didn't have any grudge against him. What Dugu Yaoyao said on that day flashed in Dugu Muyou's mind, so Dugu Muyou couldn't help but guessing whether Dugu Yaoyao asked Dugu Ziteng to do this.
Dugu Ziteng looked worse and worse, and his whole body was completely shriveled. However, the black spiritual qi around him suddenly soared, forming a vortex surrounding him.
At this time, the sound of breaking the sky came, and a green sword slashed straight down from the top of Dugu Ziteng's head.
