“Elder Tarot!”
“Tarot!”
After witnessing Tarot’s tragic death, all the Lomerians were devastated.
They cried and shouted Tarot’s name loudly, but Tarot could no longer hear them.
He had left this world forever.
Aatrox laughed out loud like a victor, mocking them.
He pointed at the Lomerians and said, “If you had surrendered what I wanted earlier, none of this would have happened.”
Then he turned to Wang Zhixing and the others. “And you cultivators.
“If you hadn’t helped the Lomerians, you wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable state.
“I’ve already warned all of you much earlier, if you go against our Beast Taming Corps, you won’t end up well. Yet, you refuse to believe me.
“Now, we are already ahead by two rounds. Do you want to continue or give up?
“If you choose to give up, give me the [Ancestral Stone] right now. I won’t hold it against you people and will let you off.
“But if you choose to continue, I won’t say much about the outcome. Think about it!”
Aatrox’s words caused the remaining Lomerians to fall into deep thought.
They didn’t want to see their clansmen and companions die again, so they hesitated handing over the [Ancestral Stone].
At this moment, Wang Zhixing said, “Friends of the Lome tribe, if you hand over the [Ancestral Stone] now, then all the sacrifices we made previously would be in vain.
“If Elder Tarot was still around, he definitely wouldn’t do that.”
“Peak Master Wang, do you think we can win the remaining two rounds?” An elder from the Lome race asked.
He knew that the cultivators on Wang Zhixing’s side were stronger than his people.
But the remaining people on Aatrox’s side were all elites with terrifying strength.
With this comparison, the elder from the Lome race could not see any hope of victory.
Wang Zhixing did not hesitate and firmly replied, “Yes.”
The Lomerians were shocked by his confidence.
At this time, Zhao Xuanxuan stepped out.
The current Zhao Xuanxuan had none of her playful self. Instead, she carried the demeanor of a general.
She flew out of the group without saying anything and directly arrived in front of Aatrox.
“Your men will die within three minutes!”
Zhao Xuanxuan pointed her sword at Aatrox and said with utmost confidence.
Aatrox was first shocked, then he rubbed his stomach and laughed loudly.
“Little girl, you’re truly arrogant. I’m dying of laughter.”
Zhao Xuanxuan’s expression remained unchanged in the face of Aatrox’s ridicule.
All of a sudden, she swung at Aatrox.
The scorching sword energy seemed to be able to melt everything as it slid across Aatrox’s arm.
Aatrox felt a burning pain in his arm.
There was now a shallow sword mark on his arm.
In the battle earlier, Tarot couldn’t even wound Aatrox. But, this strike from Zhao Xuanxuan’s sword had done so.
Although it was only a small cut on his skin, being able to break through the defense of Aatrox’s physical body was enough to prove that Zhao Xuanxuan was strong.
Zhao Xuanxuan did not use her full strength in this attack. If she had been serious, it would not only have sliced his skin.
At this moment, Aatrox was extremely shocked. He sized up Zhao Xuanxuan in disbelief.
Not only was he not angry at Zhao Xuanxuan’s attack, he even felt some admiration.
Not many people present, including his members, could harm him.
Aatrox didn’t think there would be more than four people.
His two deputies, Soko and Wang Zhixing.
But now, another spot had to be added.
Moreover, judging from his injury just now, Aatrox guessed that Zhao Xuanxuan’s capabilities were not inferior to Wang Zhixing’s. On the contrary, she was perhaps even stronger.
Aatrox thought to himself, if Zhao Xuanxuan is really stronger than Wang Zhixing, I definitely won’t defeat her with my other deputy.
In that case, this battle can only be fought by Soko.
Aatrox knew how strong Soko was, so he was very confident in him.
“Soko, you’re up!” Aatrox called Soko over.
Soko looked excited.
He had been impatient.
Soko glanced at Zhao Xuanxuan, eager to fight her.
“Remember, keep her alive,” Aatrox whispered into Soko’s ear.
Soko was shocked and very puzzled.
Aatrox said in a low voice, “Don’t ask too many questions. Do as I say.”
Soko shrugged and said indifferently, “Alright! But if I fail, don’t blame me.”
Aatrox snorted, “You better not, or I’ll be furious.”
When he saw how serious Aatrox was, Soko immediately smiled and said, “Chief, I was just joking. Don’t be so serious.”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Aatrox rolled his eyes at him, then looked at Zhao Xuanxuan and said, “Are you ready?”
Zhao Xuanxuan said coldly, “Enough nonsense.”
Soko jumped out and stood in front of Zhao Xuanxuan, surveying her.
“You have quite the personality, I like it.” Soko smiled contemplatively.
“Haha!” Zhao Xuanxuan laughed coldly.
Seeing how determined Zhao Xuanxuan was, Aatrox didn’t say anything else. Instead, he handed the battlefield over to them.
Soon, only Soko and Zhao Xuanxuan were left within the barrier.
Soko said in a sharp voice, “My Chief said to spare your life.
“So, why don’t we quietly wait for ten minutes to pass before you admit defeat.
“What do you think? ”
Zhao Xuanxuan’s gaze was ice-cold as she directly ignored what Soko said.
Then she raised her sword and slashed at Soko.
She had the Fire Phoenix Soul, which was one of the strongest fire elemental souls.
Zhao Xuanxuan circulated her Fire Phoenix True Qi, and the longsword in her hand instantly turned an incomparably red color, emitting a burning heat akin to lava.
For a moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose as if they were inside a furnace.
Soko was also very surprised by Zhao Xuanxuan’s sudden attack.
When he sensed the energy fluctuations, he was even more shocked.
He knew that he would probably suffer a significant injury if he were to hastily block it without any preparation.
To be safe, he decisively chose to avoid this attack.
Soko was extremely fast, leaving behind an afterimage. His body had already flashed to more than ten meters away, successfully dodging Zhao Xuanxuan’s attack.
Zhao Xuanxuan lifted her sword and charged again.
Right now, Soko was prepared and did not dodge.
Thus, a direct confrontation began.
From afar, Zhao Xuanxuan looked like a flaming phoenix, while Soko looked like a black eagle emitting black smoke.
In the blink of an eye, both sides collided.
Soko’s weapons were two pitch-black short blades made of solid material, and he was not at a disadvantage when going against Zhao Xuanxuan’s long sword.
Both of their attacks were extremely aggressive and very fast. Only after images could be seen.
In just a few seconds, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows.
Soko was smiling. He looked relaxed.
He said mockingly, “I heard that you wanted to end the battle in three minutes. You can’t continue like this then! You have to work harder.”
Zhao Xuanxuan’s expression remained the same, unaffected by Soko’s words. She focused on the battle before her.
Soon, a minute passed.
The two of them were locked in a fierce battle, equally matched.
Seeing Zhao Xuanxuan’s strength, the people of the Lome race were stunned, their faces covered in disbelief.
Wang Zhixing and company were relatively calmer, having a certain understanding of Zhao Xuanxuan’s strength.
Looking at the distant battle, Wang Zhixing calculated the time and muttered, “It’s about to end.”
