Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Guo Minglang

The spiritual shield had just emerged when a pile of thorny vine spikes sprouted beneath his feet.

"Thump Thump!"

Like javelins shooting upward, the thorns pierce into the shield held in front of Wang Zijia. The collision crystallized the eggshell-like surface of the spiritual shield.

Fortunately, it eventually resisted the spikes and slowly returned to an energy shield status. What made Wang Zijia’s grimaced, and sent a chill down his spine, was that all the pointed ends of the spikes hit precisely in front and behind the private areas down his lower body.

If he were to have been stabbed, even if he had fully recovered, he would still carry its psychological trauma for all his life!

Upon seeing his maneuver had been ineffective, Guo Minglang’s hands moved rapidly, mana welled up and instantly, the plants surrounding Wang Zijia came into life.

Wang Zijia did not intend to entangle with him. A flowing light emerged beneath his feet, and while Guo Minglang raised an eyebrow, in an unusual move, he flashed to his opponent’s side.

"Close combat? You think I’m a novice magic cultivator? " Guo Minglang watched as Wang Zijia charged at him, his face turned cold, the vines in his palm converged forming a short stick. He prepared to go hand-to-hand with Wang Zijia.

However, Wang Zijia did not remove the long spear from his back, instead, with a flick of his hand, he threw several fireballs point blank at the astonished Guo Minglang.

"Boom Boom······"

"Crack!"

The overwhelming explosion resonated. Even though Wang Zijia intended to control the blast direction, he was still catapulted like a cannonball. Guo Minglang, who bore the brunt of it, was even more distressed.

This time he did not avoid unscathed, the protective shield shattered from the explosion, he was disheveled, and a part of his hair was burned off.

"Wang Zijia, we aren’t finished!" Guo Minglang roared.

"Senior Brother Guo, don’t be so eager. We’ve got plenty of time! If we fight like this so quickly, it’s like doing bridal preparations for others!" From the distance, Wang Zijia left without looking back. His playful voice echoed from afar.

Without uttering a word, Guo Minglang chased after him.

One pursued and one fled, they changed into beams of flowing light, flickering through the woods.

After around seven minutes of chase, neither could shake off the other.

Suddenly, both their bodies became vague which startled them.

Before they could react, they both vanished from sight, and yet again their positions had been swapped randomly.

······

Wang Zijia was in a momentary daze, by the time he came to his senses, he was already in a different space, the only canyon in the entire battlefield.

What made his scalp tingle was the sight of four people and two puppets engaged in a major melee.

From their appearances, it looked like three individuals wanted to gang up on Yue Lai, but instead were attacked by the sacrificial wine puppets, leading to chaos on the battlefield.

The sudden arrival of Wang Zijia and another person in the central battlefield made everyone briefly halt.

"Junior Brother Wang, your arrival is well-timed, let’s join our forces, and oust this bloke. It would serve him right! And Senior Brother Guo, let’s gang on him with our five!" The Dao Seed cultivator, Che Borong, who had interacted with Wang Zijia in the past few days, instantly exclaimed with joy after recognizing Wang Zijia.

After a brief pause, Guo Minglang ignored everyone else and once again, charged towards Wang Zijia.

Despite escalating the situation, Wang Zijia conjured four molten fireballs right in the center of the battlefield and tossed them at close range.

As everyone was in close proximity and witnessing such a spectacle, their expressions subtly shifted as they initiated their protective measures.

Wang Zijia, on the other hand, slightly sidestepped and shielded himself using a puppet’s body to block the blast from his fireballs.

Using the tremendous power of the explosion, he soared and shot towards the outside of the canyon.

"Boom Boom······"

The massive explosion threw the brawling crowd apart. They became like shells, raining onto the mountainside of the canyon like scattered flowers from a goddess.

"Damn it, Junior Brother Wang got a heavy hand..." After being blown away, Che Borong, watching Wang Zijia and Guo Minglang retreating, said: "Hey, where are you two running to? Kill Yue Lai first before fighting each other!"

Wang Zijia and Guo Minglang charged out of the canyon, one after the other, without any response.

Yue Lai, however, merely glanced in the direction where Wang Zijia disappeared, and immediately wielded his spear again, blending with two puppets, and began a one-against-three fight.

With his unconventional short hair and styling, he had an aura of a rebellious teenager in the midst of Ghost Fire- rebellious and ready to fight!

Wang Zijia, because of his head start and a combination of the explosion and the canyon’s terrain, finally managed to escape the enemy’s lock after leaving the canyon. His figure immediately trembled, and mana enveloped his body like quicksand, disappearing into thin air.

"Wang Zijia, I’m not done with you. You wait for me, I’ll see you in the final circle!" After losing sight of his runaways, Guo Minglang roared into the air a few times before he forcefully turned around and reentered the canyon.

Far away, Wang Zijia quietly exhaled and without hesitating, turned and moved away from the canyon.

...

The outside world, watching the live broadcast, was tense, especially those whose screens were locked onto Yue Lai. Many were worried for him.

However, when it comes to Wang Zijia, things started to shift.

"Senior Brother Wang’s method does work, but it’s a bit of a loss of face."

"You know nothing; this is called preserving strength. Didn’t you see how Yue was almost eliminated because he was being too tough!"

"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just making rational use of the rules. The Sect is testing the disciples’ survival skills with this big melee, aren’t they!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Exactly my ass, you guys just keep buttering him up!"

"Woah, someone’s been eliminated. It’s two people!"

...

[Che Borong sustained fatal injuries, was interfered by external forces, forcibly driven out of the battlefield earlier than expected, earning the title: Twelfth!]

After a while, Wang Zijia heard the battlefield broadcast and paused in his advance.

[Shen Qian seriously injured, driven out of the battlefield, earning the title: Eleventh!]

The voices followed one another, causing Wang Zijia to subconsciously look in the direction of the canyon.

My goodness, from four against one, two were taken out so quickly?

Or did Guo Minglang, after entering, not help the three against Yue Lai, but instead help Yue Lai against the three?

With these quick thoughts, Wang Zijia didn’t stop; he concealed his figure and quickly searched the battlefield.

...

Half a day later, Wang Zijia found another talisman resource point, a Defense Spirit Bead resource point, and a bottle of Replenishing Qi Pill. The number of people eliminated had reached eight.

While Wang Zijia adopted a ’Voldemort’ strategy, without engaging in strong fights.

But due to him avoiding fights by any means necessary, he was being teleported more and more frequently. Among the remaining three people, he had crossed paths with two of them several times, like Guo Minglang. Moreover, none of the remaining three were easy to deal with.

"It seems like I can’t hide all the time; I have to fight, refresh my status, and avoid being teleported directly into the big melee."

As soon as Wang Zijia was teleported and appeared in front of a person, he barely managed to react before he was once again dazed, teleported again, and looked at his target with a hint of helplessness in his heart.

After both saw who their opponent was, they both paused.
