678 : Utterly Defeated

The man composed himself and the black needle in his hand aimed at You XiaoMo. When the battle reached its climax, the black needle shot out instantly at a very fast speed, as if it was able to take You XiaoMo’s life in the next second.

Just when the needle was less than ten meters away from You XiaoMo, a figure suddenly appeared in the path of the black needle and lightly hit it. The black needle immediately changed direction and shot out in another direction.

The distance of ten meters was already with the competition arena. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the people in the competition except for the guards, so they did not notice.

The man was stunned. When he saw the face of the person who suddenly appeared and met that ice-cold gaze that was directed at him, his heart suddenly chilled and he fled without thinking. The person did not intend to let him go and immediately gave chase.

The man lowly cursed as he became aware of the situation behind him. He might still have a chance to win against someone else, but he was totally uncertain about his chances if he was up against that man. That was the man who could injure and cause the TongTian Emperor to suffer losses.

The man who was anxious to escape did not discover that the direction of the black needle he had shot had changed, and it was directed at Zu Ma. The black needle was specially made to deal with high level mages. No one knew what would happen if one was shot by it.

Zu Ma, who specialized in combating enemies, suddenly shivered as she felt danger approaching at an extremely fast pace. Between defeat and her life, she decided to choose the latter. There was no one who treasured their own life more than her. However, this evasion let the experts from the Mage Association and the Beast Transfiguration Guild seize an opportunity to press home their attack. Two groups of  soul force, one from the left and another from the right, attacked Zu Ma’s soul force. The latter instantly paled.

The black needle hit the ground with a ‘ding’ and turned into a small puddle of black water.

When Zu Ma caught a glimpse of the puddle of black water from the corner of her eyes, her expression became extremely unsightly in an instant. She also knew about this plan but did not expect for it to have failed. She looked sharply at the judges. The expressions of the five judges did not change at all. It was as if they had not noticed this scene.

Of course, it was impossible for them to have failed to notice this. It was just that they were now reaping what they had sown and were indifferent to it. Moreover, there was nothing that could be done even if they were exposed in public. Though the forces present seemed peaceful because of the Mage Assemblage, but in fact they were all fiercely competing against each other.

You XiaoMo who was on the arena did not know about these things. He was frowning as he stared at You Quan.

You Quan was only a little weaker than Zu Ma, but as there was a restriction in the Exquisite Jade Stone battlefield, so he was unable to manifest his full power and was unable to immediately take You Quan down for a while. However, You Quan was more anxious than him, especially when he saw Zu Ma being defeated. If he could not throw You XiaoMo off, the first place would probably be seized by the people from the Mage Association and the Beast Transfiguration Guild.

When he thought of this, You Quan could not help grinding his teeth. It seemed that he could not longer keep his weakness unexposed.

You XiaoMo was surprised to find that the aura of You Quan had changed, and even his soul force seemed to have become more solid. The menacing aura that was emitting bit by bit practically ran through the entire tiny labyrinth. He looked down and found that You Quan’s hands were forming seals. He… Was he about to use a skill technique?
