When there's no clear disparity in strength, it's the mind that becomes the key to the victory or defeat of a great battle....

'Maybe this is what Uncle wanted me to learn?'

Thinking this, Shao Hua hesitated for a moment.

Then her eyes flickered,

'I wonder if Qiu Tu made it through....'

'Perhaps, I should go and check?'

Even though she knew her side was the victor, the scene "before her death" was of hundreds of Longchuan Ying standing in the air.

Those were hundreds of Heavenly God-level experts.

Qiu Tu could help Zhao Ji win the great battle, but it was uncertain if he could survive.

Shao Hua felt that as an ally, she should understand the battle situation.

Hmm... if she could bring back Qiu Tu, or while Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji were at a low point, show more goodwill to gain their favor, then Shao Hua thought it would be worth it.

After all... with the fall of the three Divine Kings and Uncle being busy with matters.

This world was destined to be dominated by Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji!

It wouldn't hurt to maintain good relations with them.

With this thought, after a moment's hesitation, Shao Hua stood up and flew towards the "Northwestern Region"....

...

Meanwhile, the Dragon Burying City, which gripped the hearts of all factions within the "Boundless Heart Sea."

The healing of Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu was entering its final stage.

It had to be said, the calculations of "Crisis Intuition" might indeed be top-notch.

Zhao Ji had infused all her Cataclysmic Power into Qiu Tu, and just when she was almost depleting her vitality and spiritual power, the suction from Qiu Tu's body slowly ceased.

It had probably been a long time since she experienced being drained, and Zhao Ji shook her slightly dizzy head, then stepped back and closed her eyes, palms toward the sky, beginning to absorb the "Cataclysmic Power" in the air to replenish her strength.

The Dragon Burying City was the site of a battle involving six Heavenly God-level experts, and where over a hundred Heavenly God clones had fallen, making it perhaps the richest place of "Cataclysmic Power" in the Boundless Heart Sea in a short period.

Zhao Ji's talent was extremely remarkable, so when she absorbed it, it was like a whale swallowing; all the Cataclysmic Power around surged into her body.

Within just half an hour, Zhao Ji had almost completely recovered.

She raised her eyes, looked at Qiu Tu, who's back was still facing her, with her cold eyes, and beckoned, putting on another piece of her clothing.

After donning the clothing, Zhao Ji drew her sword, walked to Qiu Tu's back, and placed it against his neck.

From the beginning, Qiu Tu had been immobilized by Zhao Ji.

With the sword suddenly at his neck, his hair stood on end.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ji's cold voice came from behind him, "Have you thought about how you want to die?"

If Zhao Ji hadn't spoken, Qiu Tu might still not be confident. But as soon as Zhao Ji spoke, Qiu Tu's heart settled down.

He forced a laugh, then said, "Sister Zhao Ji, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Ji's eyes were deep and cold, like a cold pool in an abyss, "What do I mean, don't you know?"

"Just now, I saved you with good intentions. Yet you took liberties with me."

"Don't you think you deserve to die?"

As she spoke, Zhao Ji's hand with the sword tightened, making Qiu Tu's neck feel chilly.

He coughed, then carefully, timidly said, "If I think I shouldn't die.... will Sister Zhao Ji let me go?"

Zhao Ji:.....

It seemed like Qiu Tu's cheeky demeanor had made Zhao Ji angry. She took a deep breath, then said, "Of course not."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes involuntarily glanced backward, trying to see Zhao Ji's expression.

However, not only was he immobilized by Zhao Ji, unable to move, even if he could move, there was no light in the Dragon Burying City to observe anything since all the light was absorbed by Zhao Ji.

So after glancing twice, Qiu Tu finally gave up on this shortcut.

He had no choice but to continue probing Zhao Ji's attitude and carefully said, "But.... I think Sister Zhao Ji will."

"After all, if you really wanted to kill me, why would you save me?"

Zhao Ji seemed to have prepared her reply in advance, coldly saying, "I saved you because at that time, our Cataclysmic Power was intertwined."

"Forcing a separation would have injured me too."

If Qiu Tu had doubted whether Zhao Ji really wanted to kill him, now he was sure—Zhao Ji had no intent to kill him.

The reason was simple....

Qiu Tu remembered in the "Emotional Handbook" it was written: If a woman is willing to explain to you, or willing to listen to your explanation, it proves she doesn't want to break up with you.

She wants to hear your explanation or is willing to argue with you, which means she doesn't want the breakup.

All that remains is to figure out if she wants to give you a "last chance" or.... is he playing with your emotions.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu's brain also began to spin rapidly.

He didn't rush to conclusions but continued probing,

"But.... even if you couldn't retreat when saving me, you could now easily kill me with one sword, so why keep asking?"

"Doesn't that prove you don't want to kill me?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji:.....

Perhaps she hadn't expected Qiu Tu to be so perceptive, Zhao Ji was momentarily at a loss for words.

However, she was Zhao Ji, who never experienced internal conflict. So she unceremoniously said, "You have a lot of questions. It seems you really don't want to live!"

As she spoke, she tightened her grip, and Qiu Tu immediately felt pain in his neck, promptly saying, "Wrong, wrong, I'm wrong, Sister Zhao Ji."
