"Woman, you don't have to worry about your life! I can exterminate this brat in a minute!" Uncle Lie's voice suddenly sounded like a gunshot, which startled Bai Ye.
She sincerely and earnestly talked to the spirit beast through her mind, "I am still very weak; right now, I can only use strategies to deal with some matters. Only through experience can I grow, and the present opportunity is not even enough for me. You don't want me to be attached to you all the time, do you? Besides, you can't get out at this time, so who are you going to kill?"
Lie seemed to be reflecting on her words, and there was silence for a while before he let out a m.u.f.fled voice, "Whatever you want!"
There was a warm current in Bai Ye's heart; she knew he was worried about her.
The difference in strength between the peak and middle stages of Martial Spirit was like the gap between heaven and a cave; she knew very well that Xi Duo intended to take her life.
If she fought him to the death, she might still have a chance to survive, but in a chaotic and confusing situation, she had no choice but to die!
With the exception of Xi Duo, who was at the peak stage of Martial Spirit, the other seven were all in the middle stage of Martial Spirit, and two of them were close to breaking through.
She was the only
Bai Ye went home to have a rest and read all the remaining alchemy books, which meant she was now qualified to open the second door. When the tournament was over, she would go see if there were anything good in there!
The next day, she arrived at the martial arts arena on time.
The drums beat loudly, and it was time for Bai Ye and the other contestants to go to the fighting ring one after another. Six men and three women would soon have a showdown.
Everyone flashed their weapons one by one and stimulated their internal force; the weapons were immediately surrounded by a faint light.
"Go, big sister!" Xiang Qingtian cheered Bai Ye loudly from offstage.
Bai Ye nodded and calmly pulled out a makes.h.i.+ft weapon from behind her. It was the tiger-skin whip that had thrashed Bai Xiaoyan. She looked playfully at Xi Quidi and was very much pleased to see his pig liver-colored face.
Bai Ye stimulated the source of her internal force, deliberately suppressing the higher levels of this force and cladding the whip's body with a faint orange light, with the aura of one at the initial stage of Martial Spirit.
"Heck! Who said Bai Ye was a piece of trash? This daddy shall break their teeth! A sixteen-year-old in the initial stage of Martial Spirit is quite awesome, alright?!"
"That's right, and she's beautiful, too!"
"Tsk tsk. What's the use of beauty? Look at the faces of the two women next to her; see how jealous they are! All of them are in the middle stage of Martial Spirit, so it is clear that Bai Ye will surely die!"
There were a lot of discussions offstage.
The two envious women on the stage laughed as if she were nothing.
Xi Duo was also very carefree. Because this woman seriously wanted to fight him, he thought there was something wrong, but now he found that he might just be thinking too much.
Xi Duo made a pre-emptive strike by raising his hand and chopping at the man closest to him with a machete, directly cutting the man's throat!
In this great scuffle, the first human life was lost. The miserable man was decisively shamed to death by Xi Duo before he had the time to react!
Several others regained their senses in a panic and went into their battle stances.
Xi Quidi frowned and her face became even uglier. Why didn't Duo'er just kill the d.a.m.ned girl directly?
Other people saw that Bai Ye was only in the initial stage of Martial Spirit, and her internal force was the most common orange-level, so they were not afraid of her at all. Instead of wasting their energy on this girl who was merely in the initial stage, they had tacitly agreed to attack Xi Duo with all their strength together!
Bai Ye had simply wanted to keep a low profile, but she didn't expect to have harvested exactly what she wanted to. Seeing the situation, she brazenly accepted other people's good intentions and went along with them, not making a single movement.
Xi Duo manoeuvred his pair of machetes very smoothly. The blade in his left hand quickly fended off the attack from all directions, while the one in his right hand suddenly broke away from his palm and flew at the woman at the rear!
A crescent-shaped swing cut off a layer of the woman's scalp!
