Ch 701: A Message From Zhao Lianzhen
“Jade shards!”
Countless streams of Sword Qi erupted from Zhao Lianzhen’s body.
These Sword Qi were filled with unparalleled Killing Power, surging towards the nearby Four-Star Demon with unstoppable force.
“Hmm?”
After sensing the terrifying power contained within this Sword Qi, a look of shock appeared on the Four-Star Demon’s face. He hadn’t expected Zhao Lianzhen to still have the strength to unleash such a move.
The Four-Star Demon immediately tried to dodge.
But the Sword Qi erupting from Zhao Lianzhen’s body seemed endless, almost filling the entire Asura Arena.
Hum!
A Sword Hum rang out, the Sword Qi surging wildly, all twisting towards the Four-Star Demon to kill him.
The terrifying Sword Qi struck the Four-Star Demon’s body, one after another. His seemingly indestructible body, under the ravages of the endless Sword Qi, began to collapse and shatter piece by piece.
“Ah!”
After a scream, the Four-Star Demon turned into a puddle of flesh, completely lifeless.
Zhao Lianzhen stood in place, feeling unable to even slightly move.
After three consecutive battles, after killing the Demon before her, her Spiritual Energy was almost exhausted. She couldn’t even cast a Minor Spell that required very little Spiritual Energy.
Most importantly, her injuries were becoming increasingly severe.
If she were to fight in the next match, she would have no chance of survival; only certain death awaited her.
“What?”
“How is this possible? This is already the third match, and she actually won again!”
“Damn it, all my Demon Coins are going to be lost! I should have known better than to bet; it’s a complete waste!”
“……”
The Demons in the spectator stands stared at Zhao Lianzhen below in disbelief.
They thought that after two consecutive battles, Zhao Lianzhen would be powerless to resist in the third battle and would surely die.
However, the scene before them proved their thoughts wrong.
“It’s good that she won.”
Li Hanzhou looked at Zhao Lianzhen, who was extremely weak on the field, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhao Lianzhen was seriously injured, at least she was still alive.
He remembered the information on the ticket stating there were a maximum of eight matches per day. Zhao Lianzhen’s third match was the last one of the day.
In other words, at least Zhao Lianzhen should be safe for today.
At this time, the Demon Judge appeared. He first glanced at Zhao Lianzhen, then said, “Today’s matches in our Asura Arena are over. We hope to bring you more exciting matches tomorrow, matches that will satisfy everyone.”
He really hadn’t expected Zhao Lianzhen to survive three matches.
Although he could add another match for Zhao Lianzhen, it was unnecessary.
If Zhao Lianzhen died like that, there wouldn’t be much to watch.
On the contrary, with Zhao Lianzhen around, she might attract more Guests to their Asura Arena.
The match ended.
The Demons in the spectator stands left reluctantly.
Watching Zhao Lianzhen, staggering and slowly walking towards the prison gate, Li Hanzhou took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to forcibly rescue her.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Zhao Lianzhen would really die here.
However, since the Asura Arena dared to let Zhao Lianzhen willingly participate in the matches, they certainly weren’t afraid of any problems and had a solid Backup Plan.
If he intervened rashly, not only would he fail to save her,
but he himself would also fall here.
“I can only try other methods.”
Li Hanzhou looked at the empty arena, got up, and left.
At the same time.
Zhao Lianzhen, dragging her extremely tired body, entered the prison gate.
With a bang, the two Demons guarding the gate slammed it shut, then pointed their Steel Forks at Zhao Lianzhen and sneered, “You’re quite lucky, but I wonder how long you can last!”
Hearing this, Zhao Lianzhen didn’t speak but let the two Demons point their Steel Forks at her, walking forward on her own.
In a short while, after passing through an extremely dark and deep passage,
Zhao Lianzhen stopped, and a huge Prison Cell came into view.
The entire Prison Cell was made of an unknown metal, shimmering with a faint Radiance under the illumination of the ever-burning lamps on the surrounding walls.
At this time, other Cultivators captured by the Demons were locked inside.
Seeing Zhao Lianzhen, covered in blood and having difficulty even walking, they all gasped, their eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.
“Senior Sister, are you alright?”
An Elder of the Yaohua Immortal Sect quickly stood up and anxiously spoke to Zhao Lianzhen.
Before Zhao Lianzhen could speak, the two Demons holding her shouted, “Shut your mouth! No noise!”
After speaking, a trace of anger appeared in the Yaohua Immortal Sect Elder’s eyes, but she still closed her mouth.
As an Elder of the Yaohua Immortal Sect and a Divine Transformation Stage Expert, no one had ever dared to speak to her so rudely before, let alone a Three-Star Demon with only Nascent Soul Stage strength.
But times had changed. Now that she was captured by the Demons and had no freedom, as long as she dared to disobey these Demons, they would torture her.
Seeing this, a satisfied look appeared on the two Demons’ faces. Then they opened the prison gate, unceremoniously shoved Zhao Lianzhen into the Prison Cell, locked the gate again, and left.
“Senior Sister, how badly are you injured?”
“Martial Uncle, are you alright?”
“These Demons are damned! If we have a chance to escape, I will kill them all!”
“……”
The disciples and Elders of the Yaohua Immortal Sect carefully helped Zhao Lianzhen sit down.
Zhao Lianzhen didn’t speak but mobilized the last trace of her True Qi, opened her Storage Bag, took out a Pill, and put it in her mouth.
As the Pill melted and its Medicinal Power spread,
Zhao Lianzhen’s face was no longer so pale, her injuries stopped, and began to slowly recover. Only then did she look at her fellow disciples and say, “I’m fine.”
She had fought three consecutive battles today, and her injuries were severe. Without the Pill treatment, her injuries would only worsen, eventually leading to her death.
Fortunately, the Demons hadn’t confiscated their Storage Bags.
This wasn’t because they were kind, but because the Demons didn’t understand Sorcery, lacked any Immeasurable Divine Might treasures, and were extremely ignorant in this area, so they didn’t realize it.
Seeing that Zhao Lianzhen was alright, the Cultivators of the Yaohua Immortal Sect breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment they fell silent.
They were locked in this Prison Cell, with no hope in sight.
As Zhao Lianzhen said, being locked here, without a glimmer of hope, it was only a matter of time before they were killed.
