Chapter 1209 - 75: The Attacker

But I didn’t expect the answer to be so complete.

Whether Yuanhua wins or not is just a matter of a single thought.

Could it be that Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor has directly conceded?

No one dared to ask further.

Even close friends didn’t dare.

"Brother Chengdao, you have a good relationship with Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor, what do you think Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor meant by her words?" At some point, the Heavenly Favored King had successfully proven his path to the Twelfth Realm and came here to watch the battle.

Li Chengdao was also very surprised, but he knew Aunt Zhu Xiao wouldn’t speak recklessly, yet he also didn’t understand the meaning, so in the end, he could only shake his head: "I’m not sure either."

The conversation left everyone present in doubt.

No one could figure out what these words represented.

Wang Sheng, of course, was also paying attention. He understood Yuanhua’s thoughts clearly and knew Zhu Xiao’s words were indeed true.

This wasn’t Zhu Xiao underestimating herself. In fact, what Zhu Xiao said, she could also achieve.

"Obsession is really terrifying; even in the Twelfth Realm, one cannot escape it..."

He shook his head and stopped paying further attention.

There was actually no need to watch this battle. The result was already predestined.

This battle lasted for more than ten days.

The fight between Yuanhua and the replica "Zhu Xiao" affected many. If the Supreme Road hadn’t been set up by Wang Sheng, it might have been destroyed.

However, the final result held no surprises.

The victor was Yuanhua.

With a slight advantage, he killed the replica "Zhu Xiao."

"Did I win... It seems these years of accumulation were not in vain."

Saying this, he immediately began to meditate on the spot.

Although victorious, the price he paid was not small.

The injuries on his body were extremely severe, even somewhat hard to suppress.

If not properly adjusted, it would be very troublesome.

And since he defeated the replica of Zhu Xiao, now the only opponent on the Supreme Road is Zhu Xiao herself.

He knew Zhu Xiao would not choose to attack at this moment.

Therefore, he could adjust at ease.

Once adjusted, it would be the true final battle.

But things like to go wrong when people think there won’t be any surprises.

Just as Yuanhua was adjusting his breath, a force suddenly appeared, attempting to ambush the severely wounded Yuanhua.

Everyone watching this battle was shocked.

Although contesting for supremacy on the Supreme Road accumulated, no one ever took advantage of others when not mortal enemies.

"Does Yuanhua Saint Emperor have any enemies? Why attack at this time?"

"It couldn’t be Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor, could it? Thinking she couldn’t win, so she directly attacked to ensure victory." This was also many people’s thought.

"Impossible. Someone saw Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor at the final battleground, waiting for Yuanhua Saint Emperor. Even a top Saint Emperor couldn’t reach here from the battleground in such a short time." Someone immediately refuted.

"Help quickly." These were Yuanhua’s followers, hoping for Yuanhua to prove his path.

"Too late, the speed is too fast."

The ambush happened in an instant. The battle had just ended, and Yuanhua’s followers hadn’t even gotten into position, unable to stop it.

The attacker exuded an aura of terror, not inferior to the previous Zhu Xiao replica.

Even in a perfect state, being hit would be unpleasant, let alone Yuanhua, who was now gravely wounded. If hit, he could fall immediately.

Yet, just as everyone was worried, Yuanhua suddenly opened his eyes, his momentum surging, and his injuries seemed to be instantly suppressed: "So you came, hiding in the shadows for this moment?"

Yuanhua immediately acted, directly blocking the light of the ambush with a punch.

The attacker, failing in one move, didn’t retreat but continued the attack.

The just-concluded battle forced Yuanhua to fight again.

While responding, Yuanhua spoke: "Nowadays in the starry sky, perhaps few know of these methods. Two hundred thousand years isn’t long for us, but enough to forget many things. Isn’t that so, Chong Xu! No, I should say, Chong Xu’s replica."

Originally hiding, Chong Xu, or rather Chong Xu’s replica, revealed itself. The Saint Emperors present, not young, quickly recalled the great disaster of the Old Land Starry Sky, the Devouring Sect disaster.

Chong Xu was one of the leaders of the Devouring Sect.

Having his identity revealed, "Chong Xu" stopped hiding too.

"Long time no see, Yuanhua."

"A replica shouldn’t speak such words, even your original isn’t an old friend of ours." Yuanhua’s attacks grew more fierce.

"What a pity." Chong Xu’s tone was filled with regret, "But indeed, we’re not friends, but enemies, and against enemies, anything goes."

The battle between the two was intense. Yuanhua’s followers and bystanders wanted to intervene, but hadn’t taken a few steps before being stopped by replicas of past Devouring Sect cultivators, unable to assist.

And "Chong Xu" suddenly changed his technique, and simultaneously, beside Yuanhua, a black void suddenly appeared.

Someone saw it and looked grim: "Indeed, with Chong Xu’s replica appearing, it was natural that Black Abyss might too."

Two against one, Yuanhua even severely wounded.

The situation seemed dire.

But just as Black Abyss’s ambush was about to succeed, a figure appeared in the void: "Two against one isn’t a good behavior, Black Abyss. During the past war, I couldn’t face your aura, deeply regretted. Now, let me test myself."

Zhu Xiao suddenly appeared.

Directly blocking Black Abyss’s attack, and even using that to strike Black Abyss herself, counterattacking.

Seeing Zhu Xiao, both Black Abyss and Chong Xu were very surprised.

"How could you have made it? We confirmed you were in the final battleground, couldn’t have gotten here so quickly."

Chong Xu and Black Abyss had hidden on the Supreme Road for a long time, planning carefully.

Before acting, they naturally investigated the situation thoroughly.

Knowing Zhu Xiao couldn’t be here soon, they decided to act.

But the outcome surprised them.

Yuanhua, seemingly gravely wounded, fought on with Chong Xu without looking injured.

Zhu Xiao, who couldn’t arrive as per their plan, not only arrived but struck Black Abyss directly.

The situation reversed in an instant.

They’ve faced this scene before, during the Old Land Conquest Sect and Devouring Sect war.

That war was just like this.

Everything seemed planned and set for victory, then quickly overturned, destroying the Devouring Sect, now happening again.

"Chong Xu" seemed reminded of something, face turning sullen, and said: "The Supreme Road contest has its rules, not even the creator can alter them easily. Interfering carries consequences no one can bear lightly."

His words seemed directed at Yuanhua, but they weren’t truly.

Wang Sheng heard Chong Xu’s words and remained expressionless.

He knew Chong Xu was reminding him.

From the moment the Supreme Road opened, he noticed Chong Xu and others. Observing their actions, naturally knowing their thoughts.

But as Chong Xu said, even he couldn’t interfere easily in the Supreme Road contest.

Yet letting him just watch wasn’t possible either.

So in his usual habit of placing opportunities on the Supreme Road, he altered some opportunities.

Such as spiritual medicine that instantly healed Twelfth Realm injuries, or a tool that allows crossing vast distances, and...

"I haven’t leaked any information. Adding opportunities is something I’ve always done, so it’s not a violation."

He merely casually dropped opportunities. Whether Zhu Xiao and Yuanhua deduced the situation had nothing to do with him.

Gaining the respective opportunities was simply their luck.

Following the rules, "Chong Xu" could say nothing.

And after speaking, finding no response, he knew his plotting had fallen into another’s.

Fending off Yuanhua’s attack, he took a deep breath: "Indeed, schemes and deceit can never surpass absolute strength. But Yuanhua, you know, the Supreme Road isn’t the only way to prove one’s path..."

"Chong Xu’s" aura surged. In no time, surpassing the Twelfth Realm.

"In the past, I was close to the Thirteenth Realm. Now, completing the remaining path is merely a trivial step."

The replica "Chong Xu" aimed to directly prove his path.

Aura vastly increased.

The Supreme Road was never meant for only the final victor to prove their path.

This was just other lifeforms’ subconscious thought on the road.

Facing the soon-to-prove-path "Chong Xu," Yuanhua’s face remained calm, not even opting to hinder:

"Do you know why Zhu Xiao thought I could defeat her replica?"
