Chapter 181: Wang Shanzhuo's Backup Plan, Challenging the Rules

At the moment the soul was pierced, a black light flew out from the soul's chest. Its aura was extremely cold—so terrifying that it made everyone tremble. The void collapsed because of it. Even Chu Xiu's pupils contracted violently. He stepped on the character "行" secret technique and retreated quickly.

Before anyone could react, this ray of terrifying black light broke through the bionic puppet's forehead and settled inside it.

Hiss—

Everyone gasped.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang was astonished and could not help but say, "This… is a Great Dao curse. If you're hit by it, you will die within three days. Even a Quasi-Emperor would be powerless to save you. Unless the ancient emperor is reborn…"

Feng Yao looked at Chu Xiu, her eyes filled with fear.

Chu Xiu's cheek twitched. He had guessed that Wang Shanzhuo had a backup plan, but he didn't expect it to be so vicious.

Damn…

If not for him, old Chu "Xi," he might have fallen for it.

At this time, Taisu Saint Bai Susu came over. She was no longer as lazy as usual and exclaimed, "Chu Xiu, how did you know there was a Great Dao curse sealed in his soul?"

Meng Tao was also curious.

Chu Xiu shook his head. "I just wanted to be cautious. I never guessed there would be such a backup plan."

When the Great Dao curse appeared earlier, it also shocked him, causing a cold sweat to break out.

"I admire you…" The Holy Son of Yaoguang clapped his hands. "Brother Chu is indeed impressive."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hoarse voice resounded throughout the small space:

"Who dares to kill my younger generation…"

Then, an illusory giant hand broke through the space with difficulty.

"Cause and effect… as a medium," the Yaochi Saint said in surprise. "It must be a great expert from Wangshan who intervened. He used causal medium to interfere in this secret realm and try to rescue Wang Shanzhuo forcibly. Such terrifying means."

After breaking into the small space, the already illusory palm became even more ethereal—like a reflection in water or a moon in a mirror, shattering at the slightest touch.

The giant hand reached down, trying to break the formation Chu Xiu had set and retrieve Wang Shanzhuo's soul.

Unfortunately for it, the owner of the giant hand had underestimated Chu Xiu's formation. It was still blocked for a single breath.

A single breath is short, but for a strong cultivator, it can be very long.

"Haha, you want to save him?" Chu Xiu raised his head and laughed. To be safe, he still controlled the puppet, completely crushing Wang Shanzhuo's soul.

Click…

The soul shattered and dissipated.

The causal medium for the giant hand was destroyed, and the hand was about to vanish.

"Taisu Saint, you'll pay for this…"

The old, hoarse voice carried endless murderous intent behind its calmness. After echoing for a while, the giant hand disappeared.

Plop…

Wang Shanzhuo's body collapsed limply to the ground, his lifeless eyes filled with disbelief, fear, and unwillingness…

Silence reigned at the scene. Everyone looked at Chu Xiu—this handsome young man in black robes. He was meticulous, avoiding the curse of the heavens. He was bold and decisive in killing. Even when a Holy King-level figure tried to intervene, he still managed to stop them and finish his enemy.

A reckless person isn't scary. What's scary is someone reckless and also adept at planning. Such a person is the hardest to provoke in the world.

"What?" Chu Xiu blinked and smiled somewhat shyly. "An enemy? Only a dead enemy is a good enemy. Don't you think that a Yaoman enemy should be killed without mercy? Since they are our natural foes, why hesitate?"

They looked at each other, speechless.

He was right.

At the same time, in the Yaoman territory, northwest—

Roar!

A thunderous roar erupted from atop a mountain hundreds of thousands of feet tall.

"Taisu Saint Son, I will kill you——"

The sound shook the world, and half of the Yaoman territory could hear it. Some lesser demons were frightened and trembled. The great expert's fury made heaven and earth lose their color. Wangshan was in turmoil, and everyone knew something major had happened.

"Um, Chu Xiu, what are you doing—Ouch!" Meng Tao cried out.

Seeing that Chu Xiu wasn't satisfied after refining Wang Shanzhuo's corpse, he went to pick up those demon corpses that were almost turned into paper. He intended to continue refining them into Yuanli crystals.

Chu Xiu coughed lightly, "We can't waste anything. Waste is shameful. We must use resources efficiently."

Meng Tao's cheeks twitched. "You're the Taisu Saint Son; can't you act more normal?"

A faint smile appeared in the Yaochi Saint's eyes. "Now, the first trial space belongs to our human race. Let's pass this level first."

Her beautiful eyes turned to Bai Susu, "Fairy Bai, with your strength, you should have passed the level long ago. Why are you still here?"

Bai Susu sighed and explained, "It's easy to pass, but…" After listening to her explanation, Feng Yao understood.

The challenges in the arena are divided by grades. There are three levels: A, B, and C. C-level corresponds to opponents one or two small realms lower than oneself…
