#772 - Battle of Life and Death
The dharma body drew back the bow and shot an arrow with smooth and elegant movements. With a "whoosh," a red arrow tore through the air, its speed as fast as lightning, instantly hitting Xie Heng between the eyebrows.
Xie Heng looked at this scene in astonishment, never dreaming that he would die from a single blow.
He fell straight to the ground, the power within his entire body surging like a tide, and then with a "bang," he exploded into a sky full of spiritual energy, dissipating throughout the entire sect, providing nourishment for other disciples.
The eighteen palm prints he had unleashed earlier also slowly lost their power after his death, eventually dissipating into the air.
Around the Cupid's Arrow, the crowd discussed animatedly, marveling endlessly.
"How is this possible? Not just anyone can fully master the Cupid's Arrow; one must truly study and thoroughly understand the Art of Favoritism.
Even heroines like Mei Wenxiu and Cheng Dingxiang, who have been initiated for a long time and reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, have not comprehended the Cupid's Arrow.
This kid has condensed the Cupid's Arrow after only seven days in the sect. It seems he is truly very compatible with the Art of Favoritism!"
Everyone present, including the handyman disciples and some senior female disciples who had come specifically to watch the excitement, were all dumbfounded.
Their hearts were filled with confusion, incomprehension, and disbelief. When Li Chengfeng first entered the sect, he was just an unknown rogue cultivator, but in a short seven days, he had actually converted all the magic power in his body into the magic power of the Art of Favoritism and comprehended the profound Cupid's Arrow.
Such an achievement was beyond the reach of even those old disciples who had cultivated for many years. They all widened their eyes and opened their mouths, filled with amazement, envy, and jealousy.
When Senior Sister Mei Wenxiu saw this scene, she was immediately excited.
She knew that she had found a treasure this time. With Li Chengfeng's current realm, it would only take a short time, at most a year, for him to cultivate the dual cultivation technique with her.
Perhaps by then, she would be able to break through to the Core Formation stage with Li Chengfeng's help.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and the more charming her gaze became when she looked at Li Chengfeng, as if she could already see her beautiful future.
Senior Sister Cheng Dingxiang, on the other hand, was so angry that smoke was coming out of her ears. She had originally wanted to ruin Mei Wenxiu's good fortune and embarrass her.
But not only had she failed to sabotage it, but she had also allowed Li Chengfeng to display amazing strength. This made her feel extremely angry and unwilling. She snorted coldly, stopped lingering, and turned to leave.
Just then, a red light flashed in front of her, and Senior Sister Mei Wenxiu blocked her path.
Senior Sister Mei Wenxiu said with a smile, "Good sister, you've gone to so much trouble to come and watch the fun, it would be too disrespectful to leave just like that.
It just so happens that I've also made some breakthroughs recently, why don't we two spar and see who is stronger."
At this moment, Senior Sister Mei Wenxiu was triumphant. She had gained some insights while watching Li Chengfeng's battle, and her aura was obviously even stronger.
Senior Sister Cheng Dingxiang, on the other hand, had suffered a great loss and was wondering how she could be her opponent. However, she was provoked by Senior Sister Mei Wenxiu.
She roared, "If you want to fight, then fight! But we have to sign a life-and-death contract and fight to the death!"
Cheng Dingxiang thought that she might as well use this opportunity to go along with the situation, bet her life against her, and use her unique skill to kill her.
That way, wouldn't the remaining rogue cultivator Li Yichen become her possession?
The two women's eyes met, bursting out with dazzling light, as if two lightning bolts were intersecting in the air. The surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this powerful aura, making people feel suffocated.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengfeng understood. Such a sect did not know how many people it had harmed, turning them all into lunatics.
They talked about cultivating immortality, but in fact, they were just making wedding clothes for others.
Whether they were handyman disciples or inner disciples, as long as they died, the cultivation techniques, true energy, and magic power would be absorbed by the entire Water Moon Sect, ultimately benefiting those high and mighty Supreme Elders.
He remained calm and did not bother to care about these internal sect disputes.
However, the two women had different plans.
Mei Wenxiu thought that Cheng Dingxiang was always hostile to her, and now that her plan had failed, she would definitely make things difficult for her next time. She might as well take this opportunity to get rid of her to prevent future troubles.
As for the matter of the two signing a life-and-death contract, some of the other junior brothers and sisters actually applauded, and instead of stopping them, they were all eager to watch a life-and-death battle.
Just then, Cheng Dingxiang's male companion, Qiu Qiang, stood up.
His aura was overwhelming, and he exuded a murderous aura, saying, "Want to fight? Since you've signed a life-and-death contract, then let me learn from your newly initiated male companion!"
He looked at Li Chengfeng and said, "Let's sign a life-and-death contract together and go to the Life-and-Death Arena!"
His tone was full of provocation and fighting spirit, as if he could not wait to compete with Li Chengfeng.
Qiu Qiang, as Cheng Dingxiang's cultivation partner, stood up at this moment, their figures close together, like twin lotus flowers blooming, facing the wind and rain together.
The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappling on their bodies, adding a tragic color to the upcoming confrontation.
Li Chengfeng's eyes were as deep as torches, flashing with determination and unyieldingness. He nodded lightly and said to the two of them, "Alright, since we've said this, there's no need to say more, let's fight! When I return, the path of cultivation must continue."
After saying that, his body shook, as if thousands of sword energies were hidden in his chest, waiting to erupt one day.
Mei Wenxiu turned her head to look at Li Chengfeng, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, with both worry and disdain. She parted her red lips slightly, her voice with a hint of imperceptible tenderness: "Little brother, do you know how strong Qiu Qiang is, he is no ordinary person? He is a leader among rogue cultivators.
He has experienced countless life-and-death battles to achieve today's achievements. Even if he has entered the sect, he is not something ordinary. Do you have confidence?"
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a faint smile, a smile with a bit of confidence and a bit of arrogance: "To me, they are just worthless rabble, not worth mentioning.
I, Li Yichen, and the Water Moon Sect's cultivation techniques, are like a match made in heaven, echoing each other. I vow to become a new generation of shining stars in the Water Moon Sect. If they insist on seeking death, I will not show mercy. The cycle of heaven, let each be at peace."
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Dingxiang's heart was burning with anger. She gritted her silver teeth, her eyes flashing with cold light.
She thought to herself: Although you are arrogant at this moment, you will know what true cruelty is when you are on the Life-and-Death Arena.
If you die, Mei Wenxiu will have one less person to rely on, and then it will be easy for me to get rid of her.
But if you can defeat Qiu Qiang, then the two of us can become partners, wouldn't that be a win-win situation for me?" A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she calculated this seemingly perfect plan in her heart, her eyes flashing with cunning and ruthlessness.
