Chapter 657: Shu Xia's Death! (Seeking monthly votes)
During this period, Zhao Ji's fame in the entire "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" grew.

In the final analysis, it was because her battle record was too impressive. A level 5 killed a level 6, a level 6 killed a level 7, and a level 7 killed a level 8, and she got a place in the "Trial of the Gods".

As a result, when he first entered the eighth level, he actually killed someone at the peak of the eighth level!

Even so, many forces speculated that she, like Qiu Tu, had achieved such a record because her strength had soared to the peak of the eighth level in her own "controlled area".

However, there are still some forces that suspect that Zhao Ji’s combat power may have actually reached the peak of the eighth level.

It’s not because of anything else, just because in the list of "Trial of the Gods", Zhao Ji ranked in the top 10, surpassing five or six great evil gods at the peak of the eighth level.

Zhao Ji is not like Qiu Tu, who has a territory bonus. On the contrary, she is the "reincarnation of a god" and may have "god skills", so many forces judge her true combat power and may have really reached the peak of the eighth level.

This is also the reason why Shuxia is not afraid of Qiu Tu, but is very wary of Zhao Ji.

Originally, he was beaten up by Qiu Tu today, and the thing he was most grateful for was that Zhao Ji was not there.

As a result, who would have thought that after he left Dongcheng City, he would meet Zhao Ji again!
He certainly wouldn't think that their meeting was a coincidence.

So his face darkened slightly, and he looked at Zhao Ji seriously, and then his brain raced, thinking about how to break this situation.

Escape? Cheat? Beg for mercy? Or bring Qiu Tu up to question?
As a result, before he could figure out a way to crack the problem, Zhao Ji spoke first.

She glanced at Shuxia, then said with a cold expression, "I'm busy, make your move."

Hearing Zhaoji's words, Shuxia panicked for a moment. He quickly said, "Wait a minute! Your Majesty Zhaoji!"

Zhao Ji looked at him coldly, her deep, cold eyes were like a icy pool in the abyss.

Shuxia knew that his life was hanging by a thread and he might only have a chance to say one sentence.

So his brain raced, and he quickly shouted, "Your Majesty! I know you!"

Shuxia's decision really worked.

Zhao Ji was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she looked at Shu Xia with her emotionless eyes.

After a moment, she said with dignity, "Since you know me, why don't you bow to me!"

Shu Xia was obviously a flexible person. Hearing this, he fell to his knees with a plop, and then said, "Greetings to His Majesty the God!"

After hearing Shuxia's words, Zhaoji's cold face showed an expression of disappointment.

She shook her head slightly, then said, "You're lying. You don't even know who I am."

After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Shu Xia was stunned for a moment, then quickly shouted again, "Your Majesty the Divine King!"

This time, Zhao Ji actually chuckled.

She said calmly, "God King?"

"It's just a name given by a few cowardly people."

"You 'Earth Gods' may still be envious, but for us 'Heavenly Gods', we are too disdainful to be worthy of it."

A rare look of disappointment appeared on her face, and then she said, "I thought you really knew me. I didn't expect you were just trying to save your life."

"Well, I'll send you on your way."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand, and the next second, a long sword appeared in her hand.

Seeing this scene, Shu Xia was really anxious. He quickly shouted again, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What Qiu Tu can do, I can do too!"

"Give me a chance! Give me a chance!"

When Zhao Ji heard this, her expression didn't even change.

She just looked at Shuxia, then slashed with her sword!
The next second, a crescent-shaped sword energy shot out!

The sword energy was only as wide as an arm, and looked ordinary, without any deterrent power.

However, Shuxia's hairs all stood up in fear!

Because, the moment he saw the sword energy, his soul and consciousness kept warning him, as if constantly telling him that this sword energy was dangerous and could not be defeated!
So he instinctively wanted to dodge the sword energy!

Who would have thought that when he wanted to move his body, he found that he seemed to be firmly locked in place and could not move at all!

It felt like that inconspicuous sword energy was suppressing him with its pressure from hundreds of meters away! It was as if it was going to press him to death!
The threat to his life made Shu Xia's eyes bulge! He screamed "Ah!" and then exploded with the power of catastrophe without regard for the consequences!
At that moment, all thoughts about keeping a low profile and preserving strength were thrown out of his mind!

There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to survive!

At that moment, the "tree world" opened to the maximum extent, and the shadow of a towering tree appeared behind him!

The shadow of the big tree was made up entirely of light spots, blocking out the sky and the sun, with spots of light scattering as the branches swayed!

Those spots of light fell to the ground, and all the plants under the shade of the trees began to grow wildly!
As the plants grew wildly, green divine light began to gather on Shuxia!

The divine light seemed to have life, with strands of light entwined to form a set of green armor that protected Shuxia!

This is Shuxia's second ability, "Ancient Tree Divine Armor".

This catastrophic ability can stimulate the growth of all plants within a 5-kilometer radius and link their vitality to form a piece of "armor" that can be worn on the body.

This armor not only has excellent defensive capabilities, but also has healing and amplifying effects. It can be said to be a magical skill for protracted battles.

This is the confidence that Shu Xia has in resisting Qiu Tu even though his strength has been weakened by half!

It is also his biggest trump card!

But even though Shuxia tried her best, terrible things still happened.

He had exploded like this, but his feet still felt like they were filled with lead, and his body felt like he was carrying a huge rock, completely unable to move!

He struggled hard, trying to break free from the suppression of Zhao Ji's sword energy!
But it's no use!
No matter how much strength he used, the sword energy was always one point stronger than his and suppressed him tightly!
So, he could only watch helplessly as the sword energy entered his body!

At that moment, Shuxia's consciousness began to become hazy.

Faintly, he seemed to hear the sound of "clang!", the sound of metal clashing!
Then he felt a sharp pain in his soul! After that, he completely lost consciousness!
And at the moment of his death, inexplicably, a term emerged in his mind: divine skill!

After all, only the "divine skills" that represent the "world rules" have the power to suppress everything.

Because, that power does not belong only to Zhao Ji, but is the power from the "world"!

Moreover, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Zhao Ji's "divine skills" were of a very high rank.

After all, he once followed the Tree Ancestor to pay homage to the "Northern God King".

At that time, the power of rules on the "Northern God King" was definitely not so strong.

'Who is this Zhao Ji?'

As the last thought faded away, Shu Xia fell heavily to the ground.

The shadow of the towering ancient tree turned into green spots in the sky as he fell.

Those spots of light look like flying fireflies or the Milky Way on the ground, making the night both magnificent and dreamy.

And right under the Milky Way in the sky, he casually killed Zhao Ji, who was in the middle stage of the eighth level, with a sword. He slowly put away the sword, and then looked at Shu Xia, who was lying on the ground, with no joy or sadness in his eyes.

"Replacing Qiu Tu?"

"If it weren't for Qiu Tu, you wouldn't even be qualified to fight me."

At this point, Zhao Ji paused for a moment, and then said calmly, "But you do have some other uses."

After saying that, Zhao Ji took out a transparent bottle from the "dimensional space" and waved her hand. Suddenly, several spots of light floated out of Shu Xia's body and then fell into the bottle.

After entering the bottle, the light spots suddenly turned into a thumb-sized shadow of Shuxia.

As soon as the phantom appeared, it collapsed at the bottom of the bottle and became unable to move.

Zhao Ji didn't care at all.

She closed the bottle cap and gestured toward the darkness nearby.

The next second, Guan Xiao walked out with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

"Your Highness Zhaoji, I never thought you were so strong."

"She killed an eighth-rank god with one move. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and someone else told me about this kind of strength, I would definitely think she was bragging."

Guan Xiao obviously inherited Qiu Tu's skill of flattering others, so after hearing the flattery, Zhao Ji's mood obviously improved a lot.

She glanced at Guan Xiao indifferently, and then said, "Not worth mentioning."

"This kind of untalented earth god was not even qualified for me to take action before."

After that, she threw the bottle in her hand to Guan Xiao, and then said lightly, "This is Shu Xia's residual soul and consciousness."

"Leave it to Qiu Tu."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Guan Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and then said with a little surprise, "Isn't this too perverted?"

A question mark slowly appeared in Zhao Ji's head: ? It was obvious that she didn't understand what Guan Xiao was talking about.

However, Guan Xiao obviously didn't want to explain, so after she finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth.

Zhao Ji was the least curious. Seeing Guan Xiao pretending, she was too lazy to ask any further questions.

She continued, "Shu Xia's 'catastrophic ability' is very interesting, and it is most likely a 'universal ability'. Let Qiu Tu analyze it when he has time."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Guan Xiao asked tentatively, "Is this the task that Your Majesty has assigned to the commander?"

Zhao Ji heard this, glanced at Guan Xiao, and said coldly, "It's just a suggestion."

"Analyzing the "catastrophic ability" will be beneficial to his "god" realm."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Guan Xiao nodded quickly.

Zhao Ji saw this and stopped chatting. She nodded slightly to Guan Xiao, then flipped her hands and left the real world.

Ever since the fusion of the two domains entered the countdown, the barrier between the "real world" and the "boundless sea of ​​​​heart" has become thinner and thinner, and the effect has become worse and worse.

In the past, evil gods could not easily enter and exit the "real world", but now, as long as they know some skills and methods, the barrier between the two worlds is almost no different from paper.

At this moment, looking at Zhao Ji's back, Guan Xiao held the bottle in his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In fact, both Qiu Tu’s women and Qiu Tu’s Qi Xin were very interested in the relationship between Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji.

At first, they thought the two were simply taking advantage of their relationship.

But it didn't take long for everyone to discover that Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji seemed to have a very good personal relationship.

After that, everyone thought that the two might have some ambiguous relationship.

But later I found that their relationship didn't seem to be that ambiguous, but more like friends.

Therefore, regarding the relationship between Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu's several women and confidants had different opinions.

Now, having a rare opportunity to be alone with Zhao Ji, Guan Xiao naturally tried it out a little.

As a result, she was also confused.

There is absolutely nothing to say about Zhao Ji's feelings towards Qiu Tu.

But, if you ask how much affection there is between the two of them, it seems that there isn't much.

"More than friendship, but less than love?"

Thinking of this, Guan Xiao silently made a definition in his heart.

But then she felt that there was no point in thinking about it.

After all, friendship and love cannot escape Qiu Tu's clutches!

Even though Zhao Ji is so cool now, she will be taken away by Qiu Tu sooner or later!
And at this moment, just when Guan Xiao was thinking this.

suddenly!

With a "hum!" sound, a sword energy broke through the world barrier and headed towards Guan Xiao!

At that moment, Guan Xiao's hair stood on end and his pupils contracted suddenly!

The threat of death made her feel as if she saw her great-grandmother!
When she was watching from the side before, she was curious why Shuxia didn't dodge such an ordinary sword light!
Now, she finally understood: It’s not that she doesn’t want to do it, but she really can’t do it!
Locked by the sword light, she felt like she was no longer herself. She couldn't move, think, or even breathe!

At that moment, Guan Xiao felt infinite regret in his heart.
'Am I going to die here?'

"Just because I was thinking about this for a few minutes?"

'Sir! Help me! I know I was wrong!'

I don’t know if I can really hear the voice in people’s hearts, or if I was just trying to scare Guan Xiao.

The moment the sword energy approached Guan Xiao, it suddenly exploded!

There was only a muffled "boom!"
A gust of wind blew Guan Xiao three meters away!

Guan Xiao was unable to react and fell on his butt.

At the same time, Zhao Ji's voice also penetrated the two worlds, and rang clearly in her ears, "There will not be a next time."

Along with that voice, the world barrier closed, and there was no trace of Zhao Ji anywhere around.
At this time, Guan Xiao was sitting there in shock, with a complicated expression on his face.

There was a sense of relief at surviving the calamity, shock at Zhao Ji's precise control, and confusion about what had just happened.

"You can count to three, right?"

"Why didn't you even count?"

Thinking of this, Guan Xiao couldn't help but confirm something in his heart.
"As expected, the commander is special."

"Although this attempt was dangerous, it did work well."

Thinking of this, Guan Xiao patted his chest and got up from the ground.

She didn't dare to stay here any longer, so she clutched the bottle of "Shuxia", walked quickly to the side, got in the car, and prepared to return to "Dongcheng City".

As the vehicle started, Guan Xiao's figure disappeared from the battlefield soon.

At this moment, Zhao Ji, who was in the "boundless sea of ​​heart", looked at Guan Xiao's back with no joy or sadness.

After a moment, she snorted softly, then turned around and continued to practice.
Shuxia is just a trivial episode.

Even though his mid-level 8th-rank strength was already considered a great master in the "core area", it was not enough for the several peak 8th-rank masters competing in the "God Trial".

Zhao Ji’s competitor has never been him, but those quasi-gods ranked in the top three or even the first.

He is the most gifted, most fortunate, and most powerful genius in the "core area" in the past two or three hundred years.

Even with Zhao Ji's confidence, she could not guarantee that she, who was only in the early eighth level, could defeat them.

As for her, who was only at level seven before, there was no chance of success at all.

Fortunately, with the change of Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji finally had the qualifications to sit at the poker table.

However, she couldn't pin all her hopes on Qiu Tu's help.

so.
'Stronger, stronger.'

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji closed her eyes firmly and continued to practice.
At the same time, when Zhao Ji began to practice silently.

Guan Xiao also returned to Qiu Tu's villa with the remaining soul and consciousness of "Shu Xia".

I knocked on the door and it was the busty girl Fang Tangtang who opened the door.

Seeing Guan Xiao, she said softly, "The master is in the study."

Hearing Fang Tangtang's words, Guan Xiao nodded slightly, then walked into the villa.

Arriving at the study, Guan Xiao knocked gently on the door, and Qiu Tu's voice immediately rang out from inside, "Come in."

Guan Xiao pushed the door open and walked in, then saw Qiu Tu gesturing something in the study.

After closing the door, Guan Xiao flirted with Qiu Tu, then asked curiously, "What are you doing, sir?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu stopped what he was doing with a smile, and then said, "I am testing a "pseudo-divine skill" that Zhao Ji taught me."

"Pseudo-divine skill?" Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao couldn't help but think of the sword technique that Zhao Ji had just performed.

She felt that Qiu Tuhe had said before that the swordsmanship used by Zhao Ji was a "pseudo-divine skill."

She had not had much idea about "pseudo-divine skills" before, but after experiencing it herself today, she finally understood the horror of this "catastrophic ability".

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you mastered it?"

Qiu Tu did not directly answer Guan Xiao's question, but instead gave a number.

Guan Xiao was a little hesitant, "Nine? Have you learned 90%?"

Qiu Tu's expression didn't change, but anyone could hear the smile in his words, "No, it was Jiutian. I learned this "pseudo-divine skill" in Jiutian."

Guan Xiao: .? !
I have to say, maybe because he has been with Zhao Ji for a long time, Qiu Tu's pretense has become more and more smooth. This sudden pretense made Guan Xiao unable to react.

Jiutian learned a pseudo-divine skill?

Thinking of this, Guan Xiao couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu in shock.

To be honest, if she wasn't afraid of being whipped by Qiu Tu, she really wanted to ask: Sir, you are so fast, does Her Majesty Zhaoji know? -

Asking for a monthly ticket.
