Chapter 195: A Lucky Victory
In the video, seeing her all out slash effortlessly blocked by the demon's barrier, Zhu Zhuqing once again realized the vast difference in their strength. She knew that the crescent moon blades in her hands were formed from her external soul bone after achieving godhood, with immense potential. After years of cultivation, opponents of the same level could hardly withstand a single strike from her.
Even divine ring masters with six rings wouldn't be able to easily block the sharp edge of her blades, yet this demon had casually placed a barrier that negated her attack.
This meant that the high ranking demon before her was among the elites of its kind. A conservative estimate put its strength at the level of a seven ring divine ring master.
That was a difference of two divine rings between them how was she supposed to fight that?
If the demon had only been at the six ring level, Zhu Zhuqing was confident she could put up a fight with her divine weapons, at least stalling for some time.
But now…
"There's no choice but to go all out!"
Her gaze hardened, and before the demon could make another move, she swiftly crossed her crescent moon blades. A strange gray light shimmered.
A speck of black light formed!
Sensing something was wrong, the demon instinctively swung its scepter. Several crimson specters rushed toward Zhu Zhuqing, attempting to interrupt her technique!
The aura emanating from these specters was undoubtedly divine level!
"Too late!"
A slight smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's lips. She hadn't expected this technique to work so smoothly.
The speck of black light instantly transcended space, striking the high ranking demon and engulfing it completely.
At the same moment, Zhu Zhuqing vanished as well. The divine level specters missed their target and hovered aimlessly, seemingly confused about where their master and enemy had gone.
[Huh?]
[What happened?!]
[Where did they both go?!]
[What did Zhu Zhuqing just do? That move looked insane!]
A flood of comments filled the screen as viewers expressed their shock.
In reality, Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth in surprise as she watched herself in the video. She vividly remembered that technique she just hadn't expected that she would actually be able to use it in the future.
In the video, the scene transitioned to an eerie location.
The surroundings were shrouded in mist, obscuring the landscape. The sky lacked clouds, the sun, or stars only endless darkness.
The most striking feature of this space was a massive arena. Though circular in shape, it stretched infinitely in all directions.
At its center stood Zhu Zhuqing and the high ranking demon, who had disappeared moments ago.
However, the demon had undergone a drastic transformation. Its size had shrunk to three meters, and its once overwhelming aura had significantly weakened.
[Wait, what is this arena?]
[And why does the demon seem so much weaker?]
[What's going on?]
[I can't believe Zhu Zhuqing has such an ability.]
Viewers couldn't understand what had just happened, but the video soon provided answers.
A strange voice echoed from all directions.
"Welcome to the Arena of Life and Death. One must perish for the battle to conclude and for the survivor to leave this space. Countdown: Five… Four… Three… Two… One… Begin."
As the countdown ended, Zhu Zhuqing wasted no time and lunged at the weakened demon, slashing furiously!
The once mighty high ranking demon had been reduced to a mid level demon, now on par with Zhu Zhuqing's strength.
Moreover, many of its abilities were restricted in this strange space. It could only rely on its divine power and simple magic to fight against Zhu Zhuqing, who wielded divine weapons. The outcome was clear.
In just a few exchanges, the demon who had previously toyed with Zhu Zhuqing like a cat playing with a mouse met its end. Her twin blades shredded its soul, devouring it entirely.
With one side dead, the battle was decided.
A burst of radiant light engulfed Zhu Zhuqing as she felt her body lighten, returning to reality.
Not far from her, the demon had also reverted to its original form except now, it was nearly split in half. Its massive body crashed to the ground, dark purple blood seeping into the earth with a corrosive sizzle.
In the distance, the divine level specters sensed something and quickly flew back, but they did not attack Zhu Zhuqing. Instead, they retreated into the skeletal scepter that had fallen to the ground, having lost their master's control. These ghosts would only reside within the demonic artifact; if they had continued to attack, Zhu Zhuqing would have been in grave danger.
The colossal Asura Goddess phantom began to fade, eventually vanishing completely.
All that remained was Zhu Zhuqing, her face pale as she lost all strength. She couldn't even maintain flight and plummeted from the sky.
Luckily, at that moment, a rainbow light streaked toward her.
"Zhuqing!"
Ning Rongrong caught Zhu Zhuqing just before she hit the ground, gently landing with her in her arms.
Seeing the massive corpse of the high ranking demon nearby, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "You're amazing! That was a high ranking demon, equivalent to a six or seven ring divine master! How did you kill it?"
Her question was exactly what the viewers were wondering.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "I'm not amazing at all. This victory was pure luck. And that demon underestimated me."
"The move I used is called the Arena of Life and Death. If my opponent is much weaker than me, they are instantly transported to a mystical space where they revert to their childhood state, while I remain unaffected, allowing me to easily kill them."
"But that demon was far too strong. Even my Arena of Life and Death couldn't fully regress its power. It only temporarily weakened it to my level. Plus, in that space, I had the home field advantage. Only with all these factors combined was I able to kill it."
[That's an insane ability!]
[Incredible.]
[The demon was too careless. If it had dodged that attack, Zhu Zhuqing would have been the one to die.]
A flurry of comments flooded in. The audience had seen it clearly Zhu Zhuqing's victory was mostly due to luck, combined with the demon's arrogance. It was nothing short of a miracle.
Next time, she might not be so lucky.
In reality, Zhu Zhuqing watched the video in shock. She hadn't expected her future self to use the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ability. Back when she had consumed its core, she had been disappointed that she hadn't gained this power.
But now, it seemed that she simply hadn't fully unlocked the core's potential yet.
And compared to how the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had needed a long charge time to activate this ability, her future self had executed it instantly, catching her opponent off guard.
The difference in skill was obvious.
