Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 267 - It Turns Out to Be This Result

Chapter 267: It Turns Out to Be This Result

In front of Man Long, Jiang Hao felt Bai Ye had no chance of winning.

However, there were many plants and spiritual medicines around.

This also meant that from this moment on, Man Long had entered Bai Ye’s trap.

As for what impact this would have, it was impossible to determine.

“Junior Brother, who do you think will win?” Liu Xingchen asked softly.

“It looks like Senior Brother Man Long, but didn’t you say last time he only had a thirty percent chance of winning?” Jiang Hao feigned confusion.

“Right, it’s said that Bai Ye is very good at using his home field advantage. Since some Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who checked the field didn’t find anything, it means Bai Ye’s preparations have passed. Man Long is at a disadvantage,” Liu Xingchen said.

“Is it just some Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who checked?” Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

Liu Xingchen nodded: “Being able to deceive some Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters shows his strength, it counts.”

Jiang Hao didn’t speak; he wanted to see what the strength of the tenth chief disciple really was.

“Can we start now?”

Man Long, with his robust figure, now showed a smile, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

Jiang Hao frowned slightly; he could feel that Man Long was filled with power.

If he burst forth instantly, logically, Bai Ye would be unable to block it.

“Senior Brother, please,” Bai Ye said calmly.

In terms of demeanor, he did not lose to Man Long.

But in terms of strength, Jiang Hao could clearly feel that the two were not on the same level.

“Alright.”

Man Long said boldly.

Then he roared, and his powerful strength erupted, sweeping across the land like a hurricane.

For a moment, sand and stones flew, and power converged.

With a whoosh, he disappeared from his spot.

Suddenly appearing in front of Bai Ye, he threw a punch.

The powerful force even caused a tornado to rise around them.

If it hit, the battle would be over.

However, Bai Ye formed a hand seal, and countless plants surged from the ground to block in front of him.

Boom!

The fist collided with the plants, shattering them, but the force continued.

However, Bai Ye was no longer behind the plants; he had retreated into the spiritual medicines.

“It’s useless, these things can’t stop me, and Junior Brother Bai’s speed is far inferior to mine,” Man Long erupted again.

His power was even more ferocious and stronger than before.

His fist still aimed at Bai Ye, but just as he was about to strike Bai Ye, suddenly the spiritual energy faltered.

It was this falter that allowed Bai Ye to counterattack.

Countless vines surged from the ground like blades aiming for Man Long.

Boom!

Man Long was forced to retreat, and as he looked at the spiritual herbs brought out by the vines, his brows furrowed.

Then, his vital energy surged around him like a tangible force, and a massive ferocious beast began to take shape around him.

“Bai Ye, I don’t believe you can hold out until I’m poisoned,” he declared.

A wild power erupted, shattering the ground around him layer by layer. The vines disintegrated, and the spiritual herbs were destroyed.

The wide-ranging attack seemed to clear all threats in the vicinity.

However, at that moment, Bai Ye did not retreat but advanced instead.

He wielded a long sword, his movements on the ground were fleeting and elusive.

His speed and technique surprised Jiang Hao.

Clang!

The sword struck the beast, sending the spiritual sword flying, but the beast seemed to inflate like a balloon before bursting apart.

Man Long’s brow furrowed as he struggled to control his spiritual energy.

For a moment, he abandoned the beast and charged straight at Bai Ye, forcing his energy to circulate despite feeling blockages in his body.

“Just let me catch you, and it will all be over.”

Pfft-

Blood sprayed from Man Long’s body, but it did not slow his pace.

Facing the oncoming Man Long, Bai Ye remained calm and stood his ground.

Just as Man Long reached out to grab him, he suddenly grabbed at the air beside him, puzzling everyone.

“Illusion technique,” Jiang Hao said instinctively.

“Junior Brother is knowledgeable indeed. It is an illusion technique; Man Long has entered an illusion. But he didn’t notice when it happened,” exclaimed Liu Xingchen.

Jiang Hao sensed danger.

Man Long’s strength was immense; every time he saw him act, he instinctively wanted to use the Mountain Suppressor to resist, though he doubted it would be enough.

No wonder he was ranked tenth among the chief disciples; his strength was terrifying.

And so was Bai Ye’s.

His strength was indeed far inferior to Man Long’s, but he had the sealing technique, illusion technique, poison technique, and even curse technique.

He might not have had time to cultivate in the past six months, but he had time to learn the curse technique and apply it.

Although the effects were not significant, if used well, they could indeed produce unexpected results.

Seeing Man Long’s condition, Jiang Hao was somewhat worried for him.

Poison, curse, sealing, illusion—all sorts of conditions were afflicting him. Dragging this out was of no benefit to him.

Boom!

Power roared on the battlefield.

Bai Ye sometimes attacked head-on, sometimes dodged.

Man Long, despite destroying nearly all the spiritual herbs, was unable to alleviate his condition.

There must be something else around.

Bai Ye wouldn’t foolishly rely on the spiritual herbs in the field as his trump card.

But Man Long’s strength was no illusion; even poisoned, he could still shake the world and overpower Bai Ye.

All he lacked was an opportunity.

And if Bai Ye made a single mistake, he would be defeated.

But he never did. Everything seemed to be under his control.

The battle shattered the surrounding plants and collapsed the earth.

Bai Ye was injured by Man Long’s power, and Man Long, in resisting various techniques, had shed much blood.

His attacks were all forced out.

By now, he was surrounded by a multitude of techniques.

A normal Nascent Soul would have already fallen, but he was still full of fighting spirit.

“It feels like it’s reaching a limit,” said Liu Xingchen.

Jiang Hao nodded in agreement.

Indeed, it was reaching a limit for both of them.

Man Long was enduring powerful techniques, while Bai Ye was somewhat exhausted, not to mention that he was still suppressing a curse.

At that moment, Man Long’s body blazed like flames as he prepared for his final attack.

Bai Ye stood in place, with arrays appearing around him, followed by the convergence of the aura of countless spiritual herbs.

It seemed the more spiritual items there were, the stronger his array became.

This peculiar scene astonished everyone.

“What a powerful array. If the surroundings were filled with divine items, then his power would increase rapidly,” Jiang Hao thought in amazement.

However, he still favored Man Long; Bai Ye’s current condition seemed to point to defeat.

The next moment, both parties began their offensive. Neither held back any longer.

Powerful forces began to howl.

In the blink of an eye, their powers collided.

With a loud boom, dust and stones surged around them.

The array began to crumble under Man Long’s fist.

Just one more moment and Bai Ye would be defeated.

Jiang Hao’s eyes were fixed on Man Long, his power circulating, his aura spreading, his spirit extending—everything was fine.

He could last two more moments.

But Bai Ye’s array was cut off from its source of power, and he was already suppressing the overflowing curse with his own strength.

At most, he could only last one more moment.

He had won.

Just as Jiang Hao thought he could move against Bai Ye, suddenly Man Long’s aura faltered.

Then he spat out blood.

As the blood was expelled, his power began to unravel, and the array counterattacked from its disadvantage, severely injuring Man Long.

With a thud, Man Long was sent flying and then crashed heavily to the ground, unable to rise again.

Jiang Hao was stunned, even somewhat in disbelief.

Although it was very blurry, he should not have seen it wrong, just now...

Man Long had intentionally let the attack pass through.

He... threw the fight.

He actually threw the fight.

Jiang Hao never imagined such a thing could happen.
