“Bang!” A scale appeared at Lu Xi Giant’s throat.
The Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow shattered the scale.
Lu Xi Giant smiled, “Even if you cheat, it’s useless.”
“Useless?” Cao Yueying scoffed. The Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow was raised again, and another blood crossbow bolt shot out.
“Boom!” Another scale blocked the blood crossbow bolt.
Lu Xi Giant gritted his teeth and said, “You still say you didn’t cheat?”
Their Magic Treasure vault also had Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbows; they naturally knew it could only fire one blood crossbow bolt.
But Lu Dong Giant had fired two.
“Whether it’s cheating or not, is that for you to decide?” Cao Yueying’s words carried a potent venom.
At this moment, the third blood crossbow bolt had already reached Lu Xi Giant’s throat.
Lu Xi Giant’s eyes nearly popped out; he could no longer produce scales to protect himself.
“Puff!” The blood crossbow bolt deeply pierced Lu Xi Giant’s throat, going in from the front and coming out from the back.
This blood crossbow bolt was the original match for the Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow. The previous two were imitations made by Qian Duoduo.
Lu Dong Giant leaped high, swinging the Raging Battle Bracelet, and Lu Xi Giant’s large head flew into the sky.
Lu Dong Giant did not stop there; the Raging Battle Bracelet continued to hack, dissecting all the parts of Lu Xi Giant’s body that could be separated.
“Round six, Lu Dong wins.”
When the Artifact Spirit’s voice sounded, Qian Duoduo and the others’ bodies were restrained and teleported to the Magic Treasure vault.
Vaguely, Qian Duoduo heard the Vajra Turtle roaring.
Back in the vault, Qian Duoduo’s first glance went to the Golden Toad—
They struck it rich! Inside, there were still more than ten Vajra Turtle scales and two pumpkin-sized white turtle eggs lying quietly.
“So satisfying, so satisfying!” Dugu Yunshan came over and patted Qian Duoduo’s shoulder.
Deng Feihong walked over, a smile in his eyes, “Senior Brother Bu Huan, those scales can’t be kept for yourself. You must give me one. When we were escaping just now, I gave my all and made a great contribution.”
“One for each person, it’s a must.” Qian Duoduo declared on the spot.
“Those two eggs…” Deng Feihong’s eyes darted.
“That’s too much.” Cao Yueying spoke coldly, “Sharing one scale is already very good. Contentment is a blessing; discontentment is a disaster.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, this tone of lecturing people, truly like an old woman. I meant, after we go out, let us admire those two eggs. Whoever is thinking of dividing them is judging a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s mind.” Deng Feihong stomped his foot and walked away angrily.
“The last match is the decisive battle. Does everyone want to win?” Qian Duoduo quickly pulled the conversation back to serious matters, standing up and asking loudly.
“Yes!” The sound shook the Magic Treasure vault.
“Good. In this final battle, everyone will go all out and fight to the death. Don’t spare any Magic Treasure or Medicinal Pill. Victory will surely belong to us, Lu Dong.” Qian Duoduo said, waving his fist.
“This, I’ll give to you.” Cao Yueying handed over her Hundred Burning Fang Mace.
Xu Fa and He Shi'an also walked over and gave Qian Duoduo the mid-grade Dan artifacts they had obtained last time. Xu Fa’s was a Hundred Refinement Golden Sword, and He Shi'an’s was a White Frost Yin Fan.
“This for you?” Dugu Yunshan didn’t know what was going on, but he unhesitatingly took out the Sword Shield Gold.
“I refined the Magic Treasures of those three, so I can use them. I haven’t refined yours, so I can’t use them; you use them yourselves.” Qian Duoduo explained while taking out nine bottles of Spirit Liquid and handing them to everyone, “This replenishes Spiritual Qi faster than Qi Return Pill.”
Everyone was not polite, taking the Spirit Liquid and putting it away.
“The final round begins.” The Artifact Spirit announced.
The vault door opened, and they were all stunned—outside the door was none other than the Refining Spirit Sect!
Five Immortal Mountains, Lingwu Avenue, Wanjin Pavilion, Artificer Hall…
The Artifact Spirit wanted them to decide the victor in their most familiar place.
Stepping into the Sect, they transformed from Giants back into ordinary Disciples, wearing orange robes.
However, their cultivation was still at the Early Stage Golden Core, and their offensive and defensive implements were still effective.
From afar, Qian Duoduo saw a person walking from the other end of Lingwu Avenue, carrying a lantern. That appearance was precisely the Disciple transformed by Lu Xi Xiongjie.
They must have entered the Sect from the other end, which was also an illusion.
Qian Duoduo and his team tacitly walked towards each other, neither going anywhere else. The Refining Spirit Sect was their common home, and regardless of whether their location was real or not, they did not want it to be damaged by the ultimate battle. The wide and sturdy Lingwu Avenue was perfectly suited as a battlefield for the competition.
“Fight!” Still a hundred zhang away, Lu Xi Giant roared. From the sound, the Head Chess was still Nangong Nizi.
“Kill!” Lu Dong Giant’s Head Chess was still Cao Yueying.
About ten zhang apart, Lu Xi Giant lifted his lantern, and a giant white bone finger appeared out of thin air, shooting out. Caizhu was still using his right hand; he was using the offensive implement Night Journey Underworld Lamp from the Magic Treasure vault.
Dugu Yunshan held up the Sword Shield Gold. “Dong!” With a loud bang, the white bone finger was blocked by the Golden Shield.
The Sword Shield Gold was a damaged Senior Dan Artifact, while the Night Journey Underworld Lamp was a low-grade Dan artifact. The Sword Shield Gold had a higher grade, but it also consumed more Spiritual Qi.
The white bone finger landed on the ground, transforming into a millstone-pushing ghost, carrying a stone mill in its hand. From the millstone’s eye, a thick smoke emerged.
The Night Journey Underworld Lamp gently turned, and three white bone fingers shot out simultaneously.
Dugu Yunshan put away the Sword Shield Gold and revealed the Liao Tian Treasure Fan. In this round, Qian Duoduo and the others were still betting that Lu Xi would let Caizhu be the main attacker, which is why they chose the Liao Tian Treasure Fan, which countered him.
Lu Dong Giant fanned with his right hand, and the Liao Tian Treasure Fan spewed out three fire Dragons. Each fire Dragon intercepted a white bone finger. After the white bone fingers landed, the fire Dragons still Entanglement around the millstone-pushing ghosts, burning them until they grimaced, unable to even push the stone mill steadily.
Seeing his Move countered, Lu Xi Giant inserted the Night Journey Underworld Lamp behind his shoulder, and a dim white light spread out, encircling Lu Dong Giant.
Qian Duoduo immediately felt the surrounding temperature drop significantly, as if it were the coldest part of midnight. The fire Dragons burning on the millstone-pushing ghosts dwindled, while the millstone-pushing ghosts became more energetic.
“Hehehe.” Nangong Nizi laughed at just the right moment, her laughter cold and eerie.
Caizhu slapped his right hand on the ground, and a circle of millstone-pushing ghosts appeared around the white light. Then, he pointed his left hand upwards, and the Night Journey Underworld Lamp exploded with a boom. Each ball of flame transformed into a small lantern, inserted onto the millstone-pushing ghosts’ stone mills.
A chilling wind rose, the stone mills emitted thick smoke and creaking sounds, pressing towards Lu Dong Giant.
This Move was the Night Journey Underworld Lamp’s strongest attack—Obscure Eyes and Ears. Within the range of the white light, for the duration of one incense stick, Lu Dong Giant’s Spiritual Awareness would be greatly reduced.
During this incense stick’s time, Lu Xi Giant would have the best fighting opportunity.
Of course, after the Night Journey Underworld Lamp used this Move, it would lose its ability to be used further, just like the Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow after firing its bolt.
“Die!” Lu Xi Giant gestured with his hand, and a Ghost Head Magic Scythe appeared, its gleaming blade hooking towards Lu Dong Giant’s belly.
This Ghost Head Magic Scythe was a damaged Senior Dan Artifact, which Caizhu must have obtained in the selection battle.
“You wish!” Qian Duoduo snorted coldly.
Four Cold Flame Pure Snow Spears shot out in all directions, embedding themselves in the four cardinal points (east, south, west, north), then immediately exploded.
The Cold Flame Pure Snow Spears had a purifying function; after shooting into the thick smoke, they were like a bucket of hot water poured onto snow, and the thick smoke immediately became much thinner. With the explosion of the four Cold Flame Pure Snow Spears, most of the small Night Journey Underworld Lamps on the stone mills also extinguished. Several millstone-pushing ghosts close to the explosion were overturned.
“What now?” Qian Duoduo asked, staring at Lu Xi Giant. With the explosion, Qian Duoduo’s sluggish Spiritual Awareness also recovered by more than half.
