Chapter 199 Trying to Hide? Did You Get My Permission? [Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

It is not recommended to have any contact with the Zhongzhou team.

A very high level of evaluation.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhuikong remained noncommittal, only smiling.

"The main god only coerced us to rescue Zhao Ling'er from the Demon Locking Tower, thereby summoning the Heavenly Gods."

Chu Xuan explained this decision as follows: "The arrival time of the Central Continent Team is when Li Xiaoyao steps into the Nuwa Temple..."

"First of all, Li Xiaoyao needs to go to the Nuwa Temple to treat Zhao Ling'er's injuries. This means that if we are well prepared, or if we find other alternative medicines in the world, we can prevent Li Xiaoyao from going to the Nuwa Temple."

"To put it another way, if we destroy the Nuwa Temple in advance, then Li Xiaoyao will have even less reason to go to the corresponding location... Of course, I don't recommend doing that."

"In short, this condition for arrival almost completely leaves the timing of the Central Continent Team's arrival to us and the Celestial Team!"

"This shows that the opponent is strong enough to confront Baiyue's faction or Li Xiaoyao's faction head-on without relying on any other forces!"

This metric is extremely exaggerated.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became noticeably heavy.

Even so, Chu Xuan still felt that the main god had not correctly judged the strength of the Central Continent Team.

Because... according to the information we have so far, the Zhongzhou team is the type that is very good at returning to past reincarnation worlds to develop and score points.

Their assessment is outdated and inaccurate! They will only become stronger, and unlike the Demon Team, their development is not uneven; each member is likely to possess extremely formidable combat power!

If they are truly that strong, as long as they can gain a foothold in the world of Chinese Paladin... killing them would be a piece of cake.

Chu Xuan knew that he was part of the Zhongzhou team, and that the other party was also playing a support role.

And they seem to have a certain say in team decisions... at least that's the conclusion we can draw from what Luo Gandao said.

However, the original Chu Xuan seemed more inclined to follow the decision of the captain of the Central Continent Team, Fang Ge. This seemed extremely illogical to the clone Chu Xuan.

There must be some information here that I didn't have time to access.

The clone of Zheng Zha also held that person in high esteem, seemingly considering them exceptional in every aspect. His skillful and confident approach to selection and route planning suggested it wasn't his first time executing such a task…

The other party may possess some kind of secret that is unknown to others.

Just as the demon team fell into a deep silence, the light screen of the Supreme God disappeared.

"Then let's help the main characters rescue Zhao Ling'er first. Delay the arrival of the Central Continent Team, and take down Bai Yue before the Water Demon Beast appears."

Zheng Zha made this decision based on Chu Xuan's analysis and suggestions.

He longed to see everyone from the Central Continent Team again. But... he couldn't gamble his teammates' lives on whether the Central Continent Team would let them go, just for his own selfish desires.

"I second that," Zhao Zhuikong said, toying with the dagger in his hand, a half-smile on his face.

“…I second that.” Reinhardt nodded slightly, seeing that both sides agreed with the strategy.

Ideally, they could complete the main storyline without the arrival of the Central Continent Team. This way, Reinhardt wouldn't need to consider the possibility of Zheng Zha teaming up with the Central Continent Team.

"Gentlemen, we will still need your help on this trip to the Demon-Sealing Tower."

Lin Yueru, who had just been talking to Li Xiaoyao, suddenly turned around and clasped her hands in a fist salute to the members of the Demon Team. She had a touch of capable female warrior about her.

"I have been entrusted with this task, so I must do my duty faithfully. Miss Lin, please do not take it to heart."

Chu Xuan had even taken off his glasses at some point. He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said...

"Among my brothers... some have tragic pasts and, having no other choice, have practiced some heretical techniques. I ask Miss Lin to forgive them."

Knowing beforehand which world the story was set in, everyone except Mu Gang dressed in the corresponding era's clothing. Chu Xuan's attire was that of a chivalrous knight, complementing his tall stature and serious expression…

He really does have a bit of a chivalrous air about him.

The fact that there are vampires in the team will be exposed sooner or later, so instead of hiding it, it's better to say it openly.

The values ​​of the main characters in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series aren't those of fanatical moralists. Even now, in the latter half of the story, someone like Li Xiaoyao, who dreamed of becoming a chivalrous hero slaying demons since childhood, wouldn't rashly judge the good or evil of humans or demons.

Heretical martial arts?

Lin Yueru was clearly unaware of this information, and she looked at Li Xiaoyao with a troubled expression.

Li Xiaoyao is undoubtedly a cultivation prodigy. In the original novel, he was able to kill Bai Yue in one fell swoop after only a short period of cultivation, and later became the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect.

Their fighting strength at this point should not be underestimated.

"I, Li Xiaoyao, understand the principle that one is often powerless in the martial world."

Li Xiaoyao returned the greeting, saying, "Brother..."

Unfortunately, there are absolutely uncontrollable factors within the Demon Team.

Zhao Zhuikong's figure appeared abruptly behind Li Xiaoyao, and the dagger in his hand pierced directly through the other party's heart!

"Ugh!" Li Xiaoyao coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

This scene was clearly completely unexpected by everyone present!
Even Yin Ruozhuo, the Sword Saint and leader of the Shu Mountain Sect who was secretly observing, could not have foreseen such a thing happening!

"Who on earth did they invite?! How could I let someone like that into the Demon Locking Tower?!"

Yin Ruozhuo was still thinking of using the methods he had previously prepared to persuade his senior brother Jiang Ming's soul through Li Xiaoyao's words, so that he could be freed.

That's it, everything's ruined!
"Stinky egg!"

Seeing her beloved being struck in a vital spot by the very helper she had summoned, Lin Yueru lost her composure. In desperation, she swung her sword at Zhao Zhuikong, who had ambushed her!

This sword strike naturally missed its mark... After all, Zhao Zhuikong possessed an extremely powerful spatial-type mental light—the existence of Inch Step.

"Zhao Zhuikong! What are you doing!" Zheng Zha was both shocked and furious. He shouted and rushed towards Zhao Zhuikong!
Zheng Zha instantly entered an explosive state, his speed was incredibly fast, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun Zhao Zhuikong, who could teleport.

The distance between the two suddenly increased.

"With his limited capacity, he's of no use alive... but he can actually bring out Zhao Ling'er's potential." Zhao Zhuikong smiled slightly, and then licked the blood off the dagger.

This guy... he's gone mad! Has he fallen into his inner demons again?

Zheng Zha glared angrily at his opponent and said to his teammates behind him, "Cheng Xiao! Quickly check if Li Xiaoyao can be saved!"

"Don't come any closer!" Lin Yueru cried out, tears streaming down her face, as she held Li Xiaoyao's body in her arms.

Cheng Xiao had no doubts and knocked Lin Yueru unconscious with a single punch, then began to check on Li Xiaoyao's physical condition.

The moment Cheng Xiao saw the wound, he knew it was all over.

Li Xiaoyao's heart was essentially destroyed, and Zhao Zhuikong's weapon seemed to carry some kind of special curse effect...

He shook his head helplessly.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, knowing he had to activate the backup plan.

[Li Xiaoyao dies, and the Celestial Team and the Central Continent Team arrive in the Cycle of Reincarnation World ahead of schedule.]
