Chapter 764: Four Arrogant Heavens

"Probably not." Liu Wuxiu said.

Jack the Ripper and Spring-Legged Jack aren't weak just because they're said to be, but if you say they're strong, they're still a bit lacking.

Liu Wuxiu felt that Valentine, as a top-tier fighter, should have summoned a battle spirit that was even stronger.

"Let's take a look first."

Ao Yulie said.

His water curtain even came with a brightness adjustment effect, and it definitely wouldn't happen like in some movies where they deliberately set the battle time at night to save costs, fooling the audience.

Everyone could clearly see that Spring-Legged Jack's legs were indeed abnormal.

Like the Pokémon Sawamular, from the lower half of the thigh to the upper half of the calf, they were made of springs.

There was a pair of sharp blades on his feet, like ice skates.

As he jumped and turned, he left one gully after another on the park ground, those old benches, streetlights, and even the nearby trees were all cut by Spring-Legged Jack.

His opponent, suspected to be Jack the Ripper's battle spirit, was also not easy to deal with.

Even when the spring-legged attacks landed on him, there was hardly any effect.

That mass of black fog finally enveloped him, was shattered upon impact, and then quickly healed again.

Zhu Bajie shrank the image in the water curtain slightly, observed the surroundings, and temporarily found no trace of a spirit master.

Ping Tianmei was also searching for the spirit master, with no success.

This could be considered a fairly standard Heavenly Spirit Battle, where the battle spirits fight openly while the spirit masters remain hidden.

Once the spirit master is exposed, they will become the primary target.

Compared to the powerful battle spirits, there's no doubt that the spirit master is the weak point.

"Can't we look elsewhere?" Liu Wuxiu said, as usual, always wanting to find the hidden spirit master.

"The back door is opened on Ping Tianmei." Zhu Bajie explained.

It's equivalent to a fixed point, allowing some broadening of vision within limits, but not unlimited—can't just look wherever you want.

At most, it gives a boyfriend's perspective.

Fortunately, Ping Tianmei herself was also searching, which satisfied Liu Wuxiu's request.

"Someone's coming!"

Liu Wuxiu noticed the change in the image and spoke up.

Ping Tianmei also happened to notice someone approaching, and her aura tightened again.

She shifted from a female ghost to an invisible specter, faintly visible.

This faint visibility was due to Zhu Bajie "staring" at her; otherwise, it would be like a few days ago, completely invisible.

"Qin Wushuang!" Liu Wuxiu exclaimed shortly after, "This person is Qin Wushuang!"

Valentine, Sun Hongyun, and Qin Wushuang, as relatively famous contestants, Liu Wuxiu at least knew their appearances.

The person appearing now wasn't some battle spirit, but the spirit master Qin Wushuang.

This didn't quite match the usual pattern of Heavenly Spirit Battles.

How could the spirit master come out and show himself before the critical moment?

But Qin Wushuang appeared just like that, walking openly from the road, neither hurried nor slow, straight toward the place where the two Jacks were fighting.

He made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts.

"There might be a trap." Liu Wuxiu said.

As Qin Wushuang approached, the battle between the two Jacks stopped—or rather, Spring-Legged Jack ceased attacking.

In the black mist, a face vaguely emerged, looking at Qin Wushuang, a hollow appeared at the mouth, and a voice came out: "Qin Wushuang?"

"It's me." Qin Wushuang openly admitted, "Just you two battle spirits? Any ambushes? Come out together."

Liu Wuxiu couldn't help but glance at Tang Luo.

He had appeared, the third Arrogant Heaven.

This Heavenly Spirit Battle truly had many Arrogant Heavens.

The first was this Lu Bu, the second was Ping Tianmei's "Adult Battle Spirit," and the third was this Qin Wushuang.

"Heh, truly arrogant." The black mist surged, transforming from a mist mass into a humanoid mist, a short blade emitting cold light extended from the palm position.

At this moment, the previously halted Spring-Legged Jack suddenly attacked.

Jack the Ripper was caught off guard, kicked through the chest from behind by Spring-Legged Jack.

Both were Jacks—why fight each other so fiercely?

Qin Wushuang also froze for a moment, not expecting the opponent to move first before he even acted.

Almost at the instant Jack the Ripper was pierced through by that kick, a black bullet flashed through and struck Qin Wushuang's temple.

His head violently jerked to the side, his body staggered.

"Who!"

After being hit, Qin Wushuang quickly adjusted his posture, stood firm again, fresh blood flowed from his head, wounded but not dead.

His strength could be seen from this.

What answered Qin Wushuang wasn't the next bullet, but Jack the Ripper and Spring-Legged Jack launching a combined attack!

Spring-Legged Jack's legs leapt into the air, swung, twisted like two poisonous snakes, as they lunged at Qin Wushuang, they completely locked down the surrounding space.

At the same time, Jack the Ripper's sharp blade stabbed toward Qin Wushuang's heart and head—two vital points.

The two battle spirits who had just been fighting to the death, at this moment, joined forces without hesitation.

Or perhaps the two Jacks were originally allies!

This battle was self-directed and self-performed by their spirit master, meant to lure out other battle spirits and spirit masters.

The result was luring out Qin Wushuang, this Arrogant Heaven.

Should count as a pleasant surprise?

After all, Spirit Masters like Qin Wushuang, who dare to appear openly and aboveboard, are few and far between.

The person who fired the shot could be the Spirit Master of the two Jacks, or it could be the opponent's other Battle Spirit.

"Spirit-Shattering Bullet!"

Liu Wuxiu's commentary lagged behind by more than a little.

All of this happened too fast, so his commentary arrived late.

He was referring to the bullet that hit Qin Wushuang.

Bullets targeting Transcendents can inflict effective lethal damage on Transcendents, and also deal significant damage to Battle Spirits.

As Liu Wuxiu shouted his explanation, the two Jacks' attacks also landed on Qin Wushuang.

Respectively the forehead, the back of the head, the heart, and the kidneys!

The imagined spray of blood did not burst forth; Qin Wushuang's body merely swayed slightly.

He actually completely withstood the attacks of two Battle Spirits!

You have to know, he had just been hit by a Spirit-Shattering Bullet, and the spiritual power defense on his body had already been shattered.

A complete, utter body of flesh and blood.

And the two Jack Battle Spirits, a casual strike from them is enough to pierce gold and crack stone.

The current attack would instantly shred even a foot-thick steel plate, so how did Qin Wushuang withstand it?

Not only did he withstand it, but Qin Wushuang also formed his fingers into a knife and backhanded a slash.

Cold light flashed.

Jack the Ripper was bisected into two halves; Spring-Leg Jack had both legs severed.

Spring-Leg Jack fell to the ground, letting out an incomparably miserable shriek, fresh blood spurting from the severed spring stumps, attesting to the fact that Battle Spirits and springs can bleed too.

As for Jack the Ripper, his mist-form body — this kind of physical attack should logically not be very effective against him.

Yet pained groans likewise rang out; two masses of black mist kept trying to recombine, struggling, appearing extremely difficult.

Qin Wushuang, half his face covered in blood, let out a cold laugh, about to completely finish off the two Battle Spirits' lives.

Right at this moment, a black Spirit-Shattering Bullet appeared again.

It hit Qin Wushuang, followed by a third shot, a fourth shot.

This wasn't sniping, but rapid fire!

This sudden change caught even Qin Wushuang off guard; for a time he was forced into continuous retreat by the successive bullets.

But it could be seen that he hadn't sustained more injuries, merely been knocked back.

Half a minute later, the gunfire came to an abrupt halt.

Qin Wushuang regained his balance; the two Jacks had barely managed to escape a hundred meters or so.

For Battle Spirits, severed limbs aren't a problem; given enough time, they will fully recover.

"Tsk tsk."

Before Qin Wushuang could catch up to the two Jacks, another voice rang out, carrying mockery, "Qin Wushuang, truly embarrassing. Killing that waste Wardhouse and his waste Battle Spirit gave you the delusion that you're invincible under heaven? Hahaha..."

Mocking to the extreme.

Someone walked out from the darkness, a young man with an Eastern face.

"Sun Hongyun." Liu Wuxiu spoke up promptly, finally catching up to the changes on the field.

"Speaking of which, there's still one faction that hasn't shown its face yet." Zhu Bajie said.

In this Heavenly Spirit Battle, Liu Wuxiu was the last Spirit Master to enter the fray.

There are eight factions in total.

Those already confirmed or who have appeared: Valentine, Sun Hongyun, Qin Wushuang, Hirata Mi, the master of the Twin Jack Battle Spirits, plus himself Liu Wuxiu, six factions in total.

Judging from Sun Hongyun's words, Qin Wushuang had already eliminated a Spirit Master named Wardhouse and his Battle Spirit within these three days.

In other words, one faction remains completely hidden.

"Just right, I also took care of a few idiots, we're one to one." Sun Hongyun looked at Qin Wushuang and smiled, "Soon, it'll be two to one."

"Alright, except for Valentine who hasn't appeared, everyone else has 'appeared'." Zhu Bajie corrected himself.

These two are pretty strong, three days into the start, each wiped out a faction.

Lu Aotian, Mysterious Aotian, Qin Aotian, Sun Aotian, eight factions, four Aotians.

As for Valentine, he is on par with Qin Wushuang and Sun Hongyun, and is a "top contender" in this Heavenly Spirit Battle; he shouldn't be that easy to eliminate.

Liu Wuxiu looked at Sun Hongyun and Qin Wushuang, feeling both happy and sad.

The happiness was that he had successfully avoided two opponents; the sadness was like an ugly duckling seeing white swans.

The gap between people is too great.

Not to mention anything else, just that one Spirit-Shattering Bullet, blasting onto the head, and he Liu Wuxiu would be dead.

"Two to one?" Qin Wushuang looked at Sun Hongyun, directly ignoring the two Jacks who were moving with difficulty and in a panic.

"Yeah, otherwise why did you think you weren't shot into a sieve?" Sun Hongyun laughed.

"Oh?" Qin Wushuang looked toward the direction the bullets came from.

Given this situation, needless to say, it can be confirmed that Sun Hongyun's Battle Spirit made a move.

"You think I'd be killed by these bullets?" Retracting his gaze, Qin Wushuang sneered, "Even tanking these bullets, I can still wipe out these wastes!"

"... Heh, you carry on." Sun Hongyun made a gesture, please continue your performance.

Qin Wushuang revealed a hint of a grim expression.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became sword-drawn and bow-bent.

On the other side, Hirata Mi, having reaped a huge harvest, wore a face full of excitement, carefully took out a small bottle, and drank it down in one gulp.

The original face suddenly twisted, vaguely turning into the appearance of that handsome youth.

He saw the situation on the field through Ping Tianmei, gave a mysterious smile, and said, "Wait, I'll come over." Then he vanished.

"Let's go." In the room, Tang Luo, who had been sitting and watching the commotion, stood up.

"Go?"

Liu Wuxiu turned his head in confusion, "Where to?"

"Everyone's basically here, so we can naturally get started." Tang Luo said, "You stay behind to protect A Xiu."

The latter part of the sentence was said to Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie nodded.

"Wait, why..." Liu Wuxiu's rebuttal wasn't even finished.

Over there, Zhuge Liang also stood up: "My lord, we will surely win this battle."

"No, you have to go too?" Liu Wuxiu said, "You're the military advisor, after all."

"As a military advisor, I naturally lead from the front, charging into battle. Otherwise, how could I possibly plan strategies from within the tent and control the battlefield?" Zhuge Liang said.

"Xiu, stay here and watch our performance." Ao Yulie definitely wanted to follow his master's footsteps, shouting 666.
