Chapter 356: (1): Teetering on the Edge
The re-emergence of Sui Youbian from the temple right after her demise had everyone on the battlefield completely stunned, and Wang Qi and the brawny man were also exchanging a bewildered glance with each other.
What kind of immortal technique was this? Could it be that this woman was actually a talismanic puppet, or was she some type of secret Mohist creation? Since when was it even possible to create such an advanced talismanic puppet?
After retreating to a safe distance away, Xu Qingzhou took a glance at Xu Tong. If it weren't for Xu Tong's warning, he would've grabbed onto Deep Infatuation and claimed it for himself.
Thankfully for him, Xu Tong had urged him to get back at the last second, and he immediately did as he was told, springing back in retreat without any hesitation. Only then was he able to evade Deep Infatuation as it flew back to Sui Youbian. Otherwise, he would've had an arm amputated at the very least.
At this moment, there was a grim look on Xu Tong's face, and he said, "That woman is definitely not just an ordinary pure martial artist."
Xu Qingzhou turned to look at Sui Youbian's remains, only to discover that they were nowhere to be found.
Standing on a branch on a faraway tree, the new Sui Youbian was holding Deep Infatuation in her hand, completely unscathed.
From there, she was glowering at Xu Qingzhou and Xu Tong with fierce battle intent in her eyes. She had a feeling that it would only take one more grueling battle of life and death for her to make a breakthrough!
Xu Qingzhou's brows immediately furrowed slightly. Following her "demise," both Sui Youbian's aura and cultivation base had been drastically elevated. Clearly, she had grasped onto a catalyst for a breakthrough during the prior battle, and she was determined to use him and Xu Tong as whetstones to further hone her own powers. If she were to reach the seventh tier, then she would most likely become an insurmountable opponent.
