Chapter 131 Taking the plunge
Do you think she would compare herself to you?
Song Chaofeng was also very curious. Given Bai Lu's initial attitude towards Tao Tao, she definitely didn't want to be left out, but Tao Tao had won on a winning streak. Unless she was crazy, there was no reason for her to insist on competing.
"Yes." Tao Tao said this with absolute certainty, leaving Song Chaofeng speechless. "Why?"
"It's a feeling."
She didn't have any particular idea; it was just her intuition as a demon beast. A person who was extremely proud would never allow themselves to back down at this critical juncture.
The previous matches were of varying speeds, but they were all over. The last match was the main event between Tao Tao and Bai Lu.
In fact, everyone wanted to see who could end Tao Tao's winning streak, so this match was highly anticipated. Bai Lu really couldn't be absent, otherwise she would make a fool of herself. Even if she had to force herself to play, she had to play.
When the time came, it was Tao Tao's turn to appear. Tao Tao calmly stood up and walked towards the arena. Bai Lu followed without hesitation, quickly walked to Tao Tao's side, and said sarcastically, "Please go easy on me, junior sister, don't let me lose too badly."
"No problem, no problem." Tao Tao was not humble at all, just smiled and nodded, while Bai Lu was so angry that her teeth itched, but on the surface she had to pretend that nothing was wrong.
"Very good, Junior Sister is indeed a straightforward person."
After saying this, Bai Lu took the lead and entered the arena, with Tao Tao following closely behind.
When the two appeared at the same time, the scene erupted in excitement. Many people had already noticed Tao Tao and were curious whether she could win the last match.
Facing so many people, Bai Lu wasn't intimidated at all. Her mind was completely focused on how to deal with Tao Tao, and she couldn't care less about anything else.
With the referee's whistle, the competition began. The outcome of this highly anticipated final match remains to be seen, leaving everyone curious.
"Please enlighten me, Junior Sister!" After saying this, Bai Lu threw out a talisman, which immediately filled the air with dust and completely covered her, making it impossible to see where she was.
Having witnessed Tao Tao's previous martial arts competition, she knew that Tao Tao preferred quick battles. Therefore, she had to hide herself so that Tao Tao wouldn't find her immediately, and then seize the opportunity to strike and catch her off guard.
However, Tao Tao was not surprised. He immediately released his twin rings and attacked the smoke and dust without hesitation. The twin rings made a clear sound and hit the smoke and dust but did not hurt Bai Lu. She was no longer inside. Instead, she used a teleportation talisman to instantly appear behind Tao Tao and wielded a short sword to slash at Tao Tao.
Unfortunately, Tao Tao had already seen through her movement trajectory. Tao Tao suddenly turned around and quickly pulled back the two rings, blocking the attack from the front and back. Electricity was also released from the two rings, almost flowing into Bai Lu's whole body. Fortunately, she dodged quickly.
It's not that Bai Lu is more powerful than the previous people, but she doesn't dare to underestimate Tao Tao. She has to be careful when fighting Tao Tao, because she might lose badly if she's not careful.
Just like before, Tao Tao's reaction speed was superior to hers, and she was even more adept at using magical artifacts. The chances of successfully taking advantage of her when she was off guard were extremely slim.
As for Tao Tao, she didn't take Bai Lu seriously at all. From their recent exchange, it was clear that Bai Lu was overwhelmed and her strength was somewhat weak. The reason Tao Tao didn't finish her off quickly was that she wanted to play with her slowly, since some of Bai Lu's actions had indeed angered her.
Bai Lu dared not get close, and quickly used her magic weapon to hover in mid-air, carefully observing Tao Tao. Unexpectedly, the twin rings attacked from the side, and she almost fell off the magic weapon while trying to avoid them, looking quite disheveled.
"You forced me to do this!" Bai Lu roared, took out a tiny door from her storage bracelet, and threw it out. After the small door was thrown out, it quickly grew larger and split into dozens of smaller doors, instantly covering the entire arena. At the same time, a thin membrane-like thing appeared above her head. It was the iris that Bai Lu had bought at a high price, which could trap people inside.
Tao Tao is now completely trapped inside. There is no view above him, and all around him are wooden doors. These wooden doors are very strange; even the double rings cannot break them. They seem to be some kind of magic array.
I never expected that Bai Lu would have this. Generally speaking, low-level cultivators don't have enough spirit stones to buy such a powerful magic weapon.
Since we can't break it, we need to look for any patterns.
So Tao Tao walked towards one of the doors. As soon as she pushed it open, black tentacles burst out and pounced on her. If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been entangled by the tentacles.
The key is that this thing looks sticky and gooey, and the double rings can't hurt it at all. Hitting it doesn't have any effect, as if it can absorb damage.
It seems either the power is insufficient, or this thing is too evil, but whatever it is, we need to deal with it first.
Thinking of this, Tao Tao summoned the Ice Thunder Sword and slashed horizontally with a cold current, penetrating deep into the tentacles. The tentacles and the door were shattered together, and even the surrounding doors were affected.
It seems that the power of the Ice Lightning Sword is indeed terrifying. These little tricks are no match for it. Seeing that it was effective, Tao Tao did not hesitate for a moment and released all the power of the Ice Lightning Sword. Lightning shot out from the Ice Lightning Sword and soared into the sky. Even the best defense of the iris was broken through in an instant and shattered.
She was terrified as the electric shock blew right past her, leaving her pale and her hair singed, emitting a foul, burnt smell.
If it had been off by even half a point, it wouldn't have just been her hair that got charred.
"Even Luo Men couldn't do anything to you?" Bai Lu looked down in shock, only to see Tao Tao holding a long sword, and lightning constantly erupting as he swung it. All the doors were destroyed, none of them were spared, and Bai Lu's magical artifact Luo Men was also reduced to ashes.
The arena returned to normal. What was previously obstructing the view was now clear and open, and even the iris, which had been pierced by lightning, was no longer usable.
Bai Lu was upset at losing two magical artifacts and her anger towards Tao Tao intensified. She had to get back at him, so she threw out all the talismans she had left. Various spells flew in like meteors, looking extremely dangerous.
Using so many talismans in a row, it seems Bai Lu has used all her resources in order to win against Tao Tao.
However, Tao Tao stood on the ground and did not attack immediately. He seemed unusually calm, which made Bai Lu very happy. She thought that Tao Tao had underestimated her, which gave her an opportunity.
A single talisman might not be very powerful, but the combined power of so many talismans is a different story. Unless Tao Tao has an extremely powerful defensive magic item, she simply cannot withstand this attack.
As danger approached, Tao Tao blinked her big eyes, showing no fear whatsoever. Just as the shooting stars were about to touch her, her pet pouch emitted a light, and a blue shadow darted out, heading straight for the various spells.
"That is……"
