Chapter 524: The Flexible Bottom Line

Chao Lu landed on the ground, perfectly executing a beautiful flying kick with her feet.

The scholar rolled in a circle and was thrown more than ten meters away, landing on the sandy road.

"On the other hand, I can’t win," Chao Lu revealed Bi Fang Treasure Technique behind her, "but I can still fight you!"

She found her perfect role, like being a support for her own team. Although not a top laner, mid laner, jungler, or ADC, but the opponent also has a support, right?

Both sides are accessories, no one should look down on each other!

Let the pendant have a one-on-one battle, which is as intense as chickens pecking at each other, but its excitement is no less than the battle between single men.

No matter how amazing the King’s Arena is, it cannot compare to the satisfaction of being able to eat a full meal directly in a Bronze Arena.

The scholar covered his face and stood up, saying, "You almost kicked me to death just now."

"I only regret not exercising my legs enough on normal days." Chao Lu patted the dust off her shoes.

"Are you trying to kill me? Are you trying to fight me?" Fourth Prince said, "By committing the sin of killing the royal family, once you do this, Bai Ze Kingdom will be finished!"

"So, if I obey you, will Bai Ze Kingdom not be finished?" Chao Lu asked in return.

"The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom will surely reign supreme."

"You might as well go and talk to Ba Xia, Xiangliu, and Qiongqi with that statement," Chao Lu coldly said, "Go, spread your big ideas, promote your righteousness to those ambitious people, instead of blabbering here!"

Princess Bai Ze sneered, "It’s not like you’re the one who’s been wronged. You can say whatever you want. You can even use Bai Ze Kingdom to flatter Lord Qiongqi and make him happy. Then he might reward you with a puppet emperor."

The scholar took a deep breath and said, "There are too many traitorous officials and villains."

Chao Lu said coldly, "You claim to be knowledgeable, but you can’t even grasp the most basic principles."

The scholar asked, "What principles?"

"Being loyal to one’s family and country, what is a family, what is a country?"

"When the knowledgeable people of our school die, everyone faces east."

"They know they are worthy of their family and country." Chao Lu questioned, "But where is your family and country?"

The scholar replied, "The country beneath my feet is my country, as for the family… I have no family, and I don’t need one."

Chao Lu said, "Then you are truly pitiable, abandoned by your family, disguising ambition as great aspirations. But you can’t accomplish anything, I don’t believe a word of your theories and explanations because a person without a family or country will never understand us."

The scholar had no expression on his face, with both hands in his pockets, his fingers formed a hook and scratched his arm.

"You scolded well, but have you thought about yourself?"

His fingertips were dripping with blood, "You came here, relying on the power of the people from the Ming Country, are you nobler than me? From what perspective are you mocking me, Princess Bai Ze? You’re just a pawn."

Chao Lu laughed, a mocking laughter, her eyes even showing a hint of madness.

"Am I a pawn? Maybe that’s how you see me, but who would have thought that this pawn could come this far? I have never despised you arrogant bunch who think you can control everything more than I do now."

"Because of your existence, the history of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has been sustained on this page, going round and round, in a never-ending cycle. But I am tired… As Princess Bai Ze, I have a duty to save my own nation. But now, I have another reason, I want to push this era forward… to see, what kind of scenery it would be without you and your era."

Chao Lu had a feeling of standing at a crossroads of time.

A new path appeared before her, shrouded in a hazy mist, with lush vegetation and flowers, or perhaps a desolate landscape littered with bones in turmoil.

Nobody knew.

But compared to the monotonous scenery that stretches as far as the eye can see, she only knew that this path was the right one.

The world is constantly changing. Sometimes it separates and sometimes it comes together. There are people trying to prevent it from coming together again. Maybe this is a crucial step left by Yuan Tianjian, the strategist. But now she wants to remove this anchor. As a citizen of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, as a pawn, if she, as a pawn, defeats the piece that could become the king, the tide of the times will surely move forward one step.

"You are the anchor."

"If you die, the times will move forward one step."

"We may become criminals, but someone has to do it after all. After all, the lifespan of demons is too long. I don’t want to wait that long… I still have my own life to enjoy. I can’t waste it in this senseless long wait."

Chao Lu issued a challenge for a fight to the death, "Come and try, let’s see if we live or die today!"

…

Chao Lu’s idea is simple: The strong fight the strong, and the weak fight the weak.

With no more constraints, Bai Wei’s finger brushed against the bronze mask, unleashing full firepower.

"I have no patience left, let me…"

"Come and try the sword!"

The young man’s declaration sounded a bit fake, even though he had just taken down a secret guard. Now he had two others to deal with, and he wondered how he could break this stalemate.

The Black Dragon didn’t believe it.

But then he saw a flash of light, and a familiar sense of fear rushed over him. He instinctively tightened his muscles, clenched his fist and swung his dragon claw, using it to protect himself.

The sword intent that could annihilate mountains and seas approached, unfolding like a scroll, leaving nothing in its path.

The incredibly familiar sword technique suddenly came close but then quickly receded. What was once a powerful move now seemed light and ethereal.

There was only an artistic concept, no technique, no sword intent… It was like the animations of a skill, but the attack itself never came. It was just a bluff.

The Black Dragon had some psychological shadow regarding this move, so it didn’t directly clash with it. Otherwise, it would have noticed the truth behind this attack long ago. Its cautious defense instead left the other party isolated.

Bai Wei entered the unfolding scene, casually avoiding the Black Dragon of the North Sea. His gaze and killing intent locked onto the hidden figure in the woods, who disguised themselves as a black-robed Taoist. But with just one glance from his golden eyes, he could tell what was real and what was fake. He didn’t even give his opponent a chance to react. With a press of his finger, the sword intent showered down like rain, but the black-robed Taoist shook his robe and managed to block it. He then took out a whisk from his robe.

When the rain of sword qi stopped, Bai Wei raced over. The distance between the two sides was less than half a meter. He suddenly came to a halt and raised his hand to strike the old Taoist on his forehead. His finger was gentle, but it was a real dimensional attack, changing from three dimensions to two dimensions.

The immortal man supported the big roof!

The Taoist in black robe raised his whisk to resist. The whisk curved slightly, but its quality was excellent. It seemed that it was not a product bought from a discount market. The shockwave of this move spread out, causing the giant rocks and mountains on the same horizontal line to crack. The Taoist in black robe’s eyes bulged, blood dripped from his mouth. After only two exchanges, he had already injured his source. He swallowed a pill and shouted, "I can’t hold on anymore!"

Shouting for help, the black dragon immediately turned around, and the divine dragon swept its tail towards Bai Wei. This attack was aimed at surrounding the enemy to save their ally, but Bai Wei grabbed the black-robed Taoist’s beard and threw him backwards. He used it as a shield. When the dragon’s tail swept over, the black-robed Taoist’s robe automatically activated its defense, but it had no effect. The tail swept across his back, and Bai Wei also added seventeen or eighteen sword qi attacks to him.

With perfect cooperation, they successfully blew up the black-robed Taoist.

His physical body burst into fireworks, instantly perished. His spirit left his body. For a Daoist at this level of cultivation, the soul can leave the body.

However, his luck was clearly not good. The spirit is another name for the soul. After the black-robed Taoist’s spirit left his body, he didn’t try to escape. Driven by hatred, he actually attempted to use his soul to perform his Taoist arts, trying to harm Bai Wei’s spirit. But Bai Wei noticed this, released a bit of his own soul power, and countered the attack. He then sent it back into the mouth of the black-robed Taoist’s spirit. The spirit widened its eyes, ate its own self-igniting heart-burning curse, and exploded on the spot.

Amazing! Exploding twice in a row would be a waste of talent not to be used for fireworks.

"You are the only one left," Bai Wei said calmly.

Yuan Yong, "Arrogant! You killed a priest who is not good at fighting, do you think you can kill me?"

Bai Wei raised the Crouching Tiger Sword.

The Black Dragon immediately increased its height without saying a word, creating a safe distance.

His state of mind recovered. While it’s possible to fight with the other side to the death, it’s not necessary. The Black Dragon has a very flexible bottom line.

At least for now, there shouldn’t be a fight. He hasn’t fully established himself in the Dragon King realm, understanding only less than one-fifth of its mysteries.

It’s okay to come back and settle the score after some time of development and cultivation.

The sword is not sharp and Ma Tai is too thin, I don’t want to fight with you.

He didn’t forget the purpose of this journey. While keeping a distance, he also used his mouth to provoke, not losing momentum even when losing.

"Please keep the Ocean Dragon Pearl in your hands for some time. I will definitely claim it back someday!"

Yuanrong saw that Bai Wei was still as steady as a rock, continuing to laugh strangely. Suddenly, he stood up as his eyes darted around.

"Before I go, let me tell you two things. First, Bi Fang is destined to fail in restoring the country, and Lord Ba Xia will personally lead the army to suppress it. Second, Tie Futu will be here soon. When he arrives, I won’t need to take action, and you will be defeated!"

The Black Dragon flew swiftly towards the west, clearly intending to inform. Before doing so, it left behind two messages in order to make Bai Wei uneasy and distract his attention. What it said was all true.

The first message made Bai Wei realize that it was pointless to struggle desperately for Bi Fang’s hopeless restoration. It was not worth risking his life in this place for no reason.

The second message forced him to stop at this point. If he dared to pursue further, he would encounter Tie Futu, who had reached the Martial Saint realm. Although his ranking was not high, he was still a formidable monster.

The Black Dragon transformed into a black flash, covering several kilometers in an instant. It arrived and captured the prince and princess who were fighting each other, as well as the snake girl who was trying to climb out while someone threw stones at her head. Holding all three, the dragon continued to fly towards the west.

Thirty li to the west, a man carrying a sword without a blade completely stopped his already slow pace and stood under the sun, closing his eyes to rest.
