This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

A five-meter-long icicle appeared!

boom!

With a muffled thud, the golden light crashed straight into the ice seal. The ice seal remained unmoved, while the golden light was knocked to the ground by the recoil.

The golden light faded, revealing the players inside.

Is gold being delivered by a flying arrow?

Jiang Liu almost burst out laughing when he saw the player lying outside the extreme ice seal. He immediately broke the seal and slashed down with his sword.

"Damn it, it can't even break through the Broken Mountain Flowing Golden Body, what kind of mysterious technique is this?!"

Lu Hejin cursed under his breath, then suddenly felt a chill. He instinctively looked up and his vision was completely overwhelmed by a dazzling array of colors.

"and many more!"

You have killed...

Sold out instantly!

No one can withstand a single sword strike at extremely close range!

After killing Lü and Jin, Jiang Liu turned his gaze and saw several powerful auras rapidly approaching. He couldn't help but smirk and raised his sword to slash wildly without hesitation!

"Five elements in one line!"

"Five elements in one line!"

"Five elements in one line!"

Siege?

I'm not afraid of being surrounded at all!

The six people who were a step too slow watched as Lü and Jin were cut down into tombstones with a single sword strike. Their steps faltered slightly, and their hearts were filled with horror.

His attack power is way too high!

"Hide!"

Several terrifying sword energies slashed through the air, their sword aura sending chills down their spines, and they hurriedly dodged.

After barely dodging a few of the Five Elements Lines, they dared not approach the river any further, each staying a hundred meters away and frantically throwing mystical techniques at it.

"A mountain pressing down on you!"

"Exploding Flame Flying Dragon Fist!"

"Mysterious Yin Netherworld Palm!"

"Azure Wave Cloud Sword!"

Despite being hurled with numerous mystical techniques from afar, Jiang Liu did not choose to teleport away but continued to cast the Extreme Ice Seal.

After blocking a wave of attacks with the Extreme Ice Seal, he immediately released the seal and unleashed a flurry of sword strikes.

"Five elements in one line!"

"Hide!"

A hundred meters apart—that's a distance that any Foundation Establishment cultivator could react to.

The attacks from the seven sect leaders could only hit Jiang Liu's Extreme Ice Seal.

Jiang Liu's Five Elements Line will also be easily avoided.

Both sides were throwing out skills wildly from a distance of 100 meters, but they all missed!

After exchanging blows for more than a dozen rounds, Jiang Liu still looked completely unconcerned, but the faces of the seven sect leaders darkened.

What kind of mystical technique is this? How come it can't even break through the attack of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator?

Is the defense of ice-type items really that strong?

Planning, your attempt to balance the various departments is a complete mess!

The battle was at a stalemate, which Jiang Liu didn't care about, but the seven sect leaders of the third district did.

Because... Jiang Liu is blocking the deployment point of the piercing and formation-breaking gun!

If they can't defeat Jiang Liu, they won't be able to make their piercing spears!

The progress of the Piercing Spear has been stagnant for a long time, while the progress of the Ninefold Thunder Control Formation is catching up rapidly!

ten minutes.

Jiang Liu secretly slashed hundreds of times.

twenty minutes.

Jiang Liu then secretly slashed hundreds more times.

Thirty minutes.

Jiang Liu rested for a while, then remained within the extreme ice seal, arms crossed, watching with a smile as the people outside bombarded him like madmen.

No player who is more than two minor realms above him can break the Extreme Ice Seal!

Among the players in Zone 3, only one player in the late Golden Core stage was able to break the Extreme Ice Seal, but he was killed and forced to quit the event.

Without that late-stage Golden Core cultivator, the other mid-stage Golden Core cultivators are no threat at all!

The seven sect leaders of the third district were all numb.

They bombarded Jiang Liu for more than half an hour, even using spiritual techniques, but they still couldn't break through Jiang Liu's extreme ice seal.

Good news: This arrogant newbie from Zone 4 has sealed himself away.

Bad news: He sealed off the drop-off points too!

What should I do?

The seven sect leaders watched helplessly as the progress bar of the Ninefold Thunder Control Formation overtook the Piercing Formation Spear, and a deep sense of despair appeared on their faces.

"No, it's impossible to break through!"

Thousands of mystical spells were wasted, and the Flame King could no longer contain his rage. He roared, "He cheated! How are we supposed to hold this event?!"

"I was still hoping to get a share of the mystery pet egg."

The sect leader of the Earth Sect sighed, "This is terrible. Forget about dividing it up, it's not even ours anymore."

"This ice-type mystic art must have specific conditions to be broken."

Lan Yaoyin smiled wryly, "It's probably a hard condition of a difference in cultivation level. It should be possible to break through to the late Golden Core stage later."

Upon hearing this, Lü Hejin flew into a rage: "Damn it, that idiot Poison King!"

Given the hard condition of a difference in cultivation level, if the Poison King were here, would the other party still be so arrogant?

"It's over, the progress of the Ninefold Thunder Control Array in Zone 4 has already surpassed it."

The Earth Sect Master sighed again: "I never expected that a single player could actually turn the tide. It's outrageous!"

One player can influence the outcome of a cross-server event. Isn't this just a trashy, reskinned pay-to-win game?

Just as everyone's fighting spirit was low, Lan Yaoyin suddenly spoke up.

No! There's still a chance!

Lan Yaoyin seemed to have thought of something, and her previously sullen expression immediately turned into a relaxed smile. She said with a grin, "He blocked our drop-off point, but we can block the drop-off point in District Four in the same way!"

"He prevented our piercing and formation-breaking spears from completing their mission, so we'll prevent the Ninefold Thunder-Controlling Formation of District Four from completing its mission either!"

"We'll skip the second phase of the event, assuming both sides lose, and move directly to the third phase!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the others lit up instantly, and their previous despair vanished.

Yup!

Since the second phase of the event is destined to fail in Zone 3, why not just let Zone 4 fail as well?

Both sides lost, so the second stage is skipped, and we go directly to the final stage to determine the winner!

That scoundrel player from Zone 4, if he can block our entrance, can he also create a clone to prevent us from blocking Zone 4's entrance?

Laughs. If you could just quit, you wouldn't need to play.

"It's settled then!"

Lu Hejin's face contorted with rage as he glared fiercely at Jiang Liu, who was encased in the extreme ice seal, and gritted his teeth, saying, "He won't let us have an easy time, so we won't let him have an easy time either!"

"Flame King, bring out the Yin-Yang Reversal Plate, let's go and destroy the four springs!"

The Yin-Yang Reversal Plate appeared again, and all seven people stood beneath it, leaving none alive.

You can play freely in the third zone's spring; we're going to the fourth zone's spring!

Before teleporting, Lan Yaoyin beckoned to Jiang Liu with a teasing smile: "Handsome boy, we're going to the fourth district's spring. If you don't want both of us to fail, hurry back!"

Jiang Liu: "??????"

Chapter 181 Jiang Liu: Pay-to-Win Tribulation? My cheat code is back! (4K votes requested)

Jiang Liu watched helplessly as the leader of District Three left through the teleportation array, feeling a sense of utter frustration, like 'the cooked duck has flown away'.

A top player from Zone 3 has parachuted into Zone 4's fountain!

What could he do then?

Nothing can be done.

This is a strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

When the bigwigs of the third district gave up on entangled with him, the outcome of the second phase of the event was no longer under his control.

If he chases after them, the Third District will complete the piercing and breaking formation with a very fast speed.

If he doesn't chase after them, the big shots in District 3 will do the same as him and block the drop point in District 4, so the Ninefold Thunder Control Formation will also be impossible to complete.

The pursuit failed.

If they don't pursue the matter, both sides lose the activity.

With his IQ ranking 36th from the bottom in the entire grade in the final exam, he couldn't think of a way to win in the second phase of the event.
