271: Chapter 141 Discussing the Dao Attack_4 271: Chapter 141 Discussing the Dao Attack_4 His body was blasted backwards, flying through the air, and in that instant, it seemed as though all his internal organs were shattered.
Despite this, a victorious smile spread across his face.
“I possess two supreme Protective Divine Powers, and yet I’ve been severely injured,” he thought.
“Li Ke can only be more seriously hurt.
How can Vermilion Bird Peak’s Protective Divine Powers compare with those of Flying Immortal Peak?”
Vermilion Bird Peak specializes in Fire Techniques, which might be stronger in offense, but in terms of Protective Divine Powers, Vermilion Bird Peak is among the lowest of the top ten peaks.
As for being too harsh because my opponent is a woman?
What does that matter?
In his eyes, women and men are equal.
As he retreated, his gaze never left Li Ke.
Around Li Ke, radiant lights soared, as if multicolored Glazed Glass Flames were guarding her within.
Nie Jie smiled inwardly, “The Glazed Glass Vajra body, the only Protective Divine Power Vermilion Bird Peak has to show for itself.
But a mere Glazed Glass Vajra body certainly cannot protect her.”
Once this Glazed Glass Vajra body is broken…
All of a sudden, his eyes bulged as the Glazed Glass Vajra body surrounding Li Ke shattered, and a golden radiance emerged from her.
This golden light, filled with a sacred, inviolable aura, seemed like a transparent shield, protecting Li Ke within.
Each Divine Skill strike that hit this golden light didn’t shatter it but made it vibrate wildly instead.
Although the shield seemed like it would break at any moment, and cracks appeared all over it, it did not shatter completely.
Finally, as more and more power blasted against it, the golden shield around Li Ke eventually broke, but it had already held on for a considerable time. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel[f]ire.net
Li Ke was only knocked back a small distance before she stabilized her form, and in her hands, clusters of flames began to rise.
“Heavenly Fire Path…”
Nie Jie, feeling his injuries, looked at the burning flames in Li Ke’s hands and, raising an arm high, loudly conceded, “I’ve lost.”
As his words fell, the surroundings instantly became silent, so quiet that everyone could clearly hear the hissing of the flames in Li Ke’s hands.
“I’ve lost,” Nie Jie said again.
Indeed, he had been defeated.
His Protective Divine Power had lasted for a significantly shorter time than Li Ke’s, and his injuries were also far worse.
From the earlier exchange, he could feel that Li Ke was not weaker than him in any aspect.
Now that he was more seriously injured and she was less so, how could there be any suspense about the outcome if they continued to fight?
Rather than taking a beating later, it was better to admit defeat now.
After all, continuing the fight wouldn’t change the outcome.
To know you are beaten, to know you will lose, and still fight on, wouldn’t that be foolish?
Besides, he hadn’t conceded without fighting; he admitted his defeat after realizing that he couldn’t win.
However, once he returned, he was inevitably going to be reprimanded by his Master.
His Master would surely say that he failed to preserve Flying Immortal Peak’s thousand-year legacy of claiming the first place in the combat competition.
It wasn’t the overall first rank, but rather, the first place individually.
In fact, this might not be such a bad thing.
Nie Jie had always felt that the disciples of Flying Immortal Peak were too arrogant.
For years, Flying Immortal Peak had been the first among the Hundred Peaks, the first in the combat competition, and even the individual first place had always belonged to someone from Flying Immortal Peak.
All disciples of Flying Immortal Peak even took it for granted that they would always be the first, that no one could threaten their position.
He thought this mindset among the disciples of Flying Immortal Peak was very, very detrimental.
Although he will lose the first place and feel guilty deep down, thinking he let down the ancestors of Flying Immortal Peak and lost their number one position on his watch…
He really considered it might be a good thing.
But what was that Protective Divine Magic Li Ke released at the end that felt familiar…?
Nie Jie fell into deep contemplation.
It seemed like something he had seen at the Golden Core Club…
Yes, at the Golden Core Club, when Cao Zhen from Four Treasures Peak got attacked, the light that shone from his body then was the same as the one that shone from Li Ke just now.
These two are partners; it’s normal for them to share the same Divine Skills.
But, he wondered if it was Li Ke who taught it to Cao Zhen or the other way around.
Around him, one after another, the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect started to come to their senses only after Nie Jie had spoken for the second time.
“Flying Immortal Peak has lost?”
“The first place is now Immortal Li Ke’s?”
“Is this the first time in a millennium that Flying Immortal Peak has lost the first place in an individual combat competition?”
“Immortal Li Ke is really that strong!”
“Brother Nie Jie even conceded defeat…
The disciples of our Hundred Peaks Sect are meant to die standing…”
“No, watch your words.
Brother Nie Jie conceded after the fight, it wasn’t a case of conceding without even fighting!”
“Incredible, this is truly incredible.”
“Immortal Li Ke has won, which means that after the arrival of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, when the great masters all go into slumber, Immortal Li Ke will become the strongest among us in the Hundred Peaks Sect.”
“Yes, then we will have to rely on Immortal Li Ke.”
“Right now, the happiest must be the Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak.”
“And probably Cao Zhen from Four Treasures Peak too.
I’ve always wondered, how did Li Ke come to fancy someone like Cao Zhen!”
In the direction of Four Treasures Peak, Cao Zhen watched the scene below with an incredibly radiant smile.
Li Ke had grown stronger, it had been a long time since he had checked her stats, and now he realized, Li Ke had grown even stronger.
Especially the Gold Light Spell, which Li Ke had cultivated to level thirty.
