Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1318 1312: CKC, First Exchange

”...why can I never win these things?” Na Xinyi muttered as she twisted her lip in dissatisfaction. Since theyʼve known each other, sheʼs never beaten Wu Baozhai in this simple game, and it was a strange phenomenon that she could barely understand. They both were cultivators, their reflexes and senses at extreme heights, yet she kept winning each and every time.

Aggrieved, Na Xinyi folded her arms naturally with a harrumph. Her simple action caused the Starlord Evil Sentinel to gulp with anticipation. What an astonishing body. He could barely resist the desire to pounce.

”Fine, just donʼt go over your allotted time.” Na Xinyi said as she moved to the side. Lin Ziyan looked between Wu Baozhai and Na Xinyi, a wry smile on her face. A warmth spread across her chest, nostalgia overwhelming her memories.

”Go,” Na Xinyi gestured toward He Yanglei. Lin Ziyan shook her head. Then, her eyes glinted with ferocious killing intent as she moved her focus to He Yangleiʼs limp, hunched figure, lie could barely stand on his two feet. Ilis aquamarine-robes were drenched in Water Force.

”You deserve worse,” Lin Ziyan whispered as she moved toward He Yanglei. Just as she was about to reach him, she swiftly retreated.

ZOOSH!!!

A slicing wave of blood-red Astral Force split the ground and grass, segregating Lin Ziyan from He Yanglei! Lin Ziyanʼs eyes narrowed; the Evil Sentinel had made a move, but he didnʼt aim an attack at her, merely prevented her from reaching He Yanglei.

”I may not be able to act against him, but my loveable junior can. How about you stay there, blue-eyed fairy? When she comes, you can have a little contest for him, okay?” The Evil Sentinel smiled. While their facial features couldnʼt be determined, those frighteningly pearly white teeth felt predatory and insidious.

”Really? You should be caring about yourself,” Na Xinyi remarked from afar. That said, she still gestured toward Lin Ziyan. The latter understood immediately, keeping her eyes on He Yanglei. There was no certainty that the strange fungus that had infected him wasnʼt lethal. She refused to allow him to die such an easy death.

Being so helpless, He Yanglei could only curse the heavens for acting against him. Despite being unaware of the greater workings of the world, He Yangleiʼs curses were remarkably close.

Wu Baozhai stretched lightly. ”Iʼve heard that Evil Sentinels are strong, rivaling top-tier Chosen. I wonder if thereʼs truth in that.” When she finished, she slowly brought out her halberd. Its design was extraordinary, sporting a crescent blade at its side. The materials of this weapon was peculiar, and even the Evil Sentinel realized this, as there was an aura of Intent naturally within it.

”Youʼll find out soon, and even more about our ability in other things, hehe.” While he exuded utmost confidence, resorting to lewd innuendo, the aura of the Starlord Evil Sentinel began to permeate quietly. There was a solemn feeling to it alongside a malevolent presence. He was clearly taking this seriously.

Wu Baozhaiʼs halberd wasnʼt ordinary. From his initial glance, it was at the Mystic-Earth grade. There was no restriction on bringing external weapons to the Chosen King Competition, and even pellets were freely allowed. Being a Chosen wasnʼt simply about oneʼs cultivated strength, but oneʼs backing and means to acquire resources.

This tested all aspects of cultivation.

However, using things far beyond your means often could backfire, especially with the various rules of the Chosen King Competition.

”Ha!” The Evil Sentinel brought out a jet-black sickle. The extreme sharpness of its edge felt as if it could cut an enemy by merely looking at it. It, too, was a Mystic-Earth graded product!

Evil Sentinels were tasked with killing killers or would-be killers, so they needed advantages that granted them such capabilities. This sickle was an extraordinary weapon passed down for several generations.

Wu Baozhai lowered her stance, gripping her halberd. The air around her changed instantly. There was tension developing, pervading the world silently. The two were on opposing sides, with some vegetative debris and trees between them.

”I wonʼt aim for the face, okay? Iʼll also avoid your big brea - ”

WOOSH!!!The Evil Sentinel struck mid-speech. His movements were lightning fast, brandishing his sickle as he flickered toward Wu Baozhai. There was no prior circulation of Astral Force for an art or spell, clearly deliberate.

Wu Baozhai wasnʼt taken aback or caught off-guard. She patiently observed. When he entered her reach, she gently slid her right foot back, and then thrusted her halberd forward with a soft breath.

Clang!

Sickle met halberd in a vicious metallic clash.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Then, light two shadows flickering in the light, the two began to exchange rapid-fire attacks. Wu Baozhai clashed with the sickle using her crescent blade, twisting the shift with ease, causing the sickle to bend. The Evil Sentinel was stunned; he instantly lost balance and felt as if his sickle was being pulled away.

Wu Baozhaiʼs eyes flickered as she struck. Her slender leg shot forth, piercing through space, air, and gravity, aiming for the most vulnerable portion of a humanʼs abdomen. It was precise and extremely vicious, containing sufficient power to cause a catastrophe on a typical tiny-sized planet!

The Evil Sentinelʼs blood-red eyes glowed with a viciousness, rich in experience and courageous might. He used his free arm, blocking the kick.crack! snap!!

The sound of bone snapping in two, piercing into flesh, and a spurt of blood resounded. But the Evil Sentinel hardly flinched, using this time to regain his balance, slicing his sickle at her leg at the patella! If a Mystic-Earth bladed weapon sliced into that area, half of the leg would be sent flying!

”Hu!” Wu Baozhai exhaled. She didnʼt panic at the vicious attack nor was she surprised by the attempt to trade injury for injury. Instead of retreating, she pressed her grounded leg forcefully to the earth. A burst of dirt, dust, grass, and rock erupted. The added force allowed her kick to gain another spurt of strength, pressing heavily against the broken arm.

”You!” The Evil Sentinel roared as he was blown away. His sickle had missed its target entirely.

Wu Baozhai retrieved her kicking leg, regaining her stable stance as she pointed the tip of her halberd to the Evil Sentinelʼs throat from afar. There was only calm, miraculous calm in her eyes!

”Five seconds!” Na Xinyi exclaimed excitedly.

Wu Baozhai straightened her posture, sighing to herself, and gave the sickle another glance. ”Do not die.”

The Evil Sentinel violently gritted his teeth. For the first time in a long time, he felt his confidence wavering. What type of battle sense was that? Moreover, her strength was simply tyrannical. There was something about her passively exuded aura as well. It felt as if it was restricting him somehow.

Na Xinyi shot over, gently landing a few dozen meters before the Evil Sentinel. This short of a distance could be easily covered by Starlords, so they were in the closest possible range imaginable for experts.

”Didnʼt you say you wanted to have a threesome?” Na Xinyi beautifully smiled, causing He Yanglei and the Evil Sentinel to feel their throats involuntarily gulping a wad of heated saliva. This woman...

”If I can not take both your arms in five seconds, Iʼll let you have your wish.” Her voice was alluring, filled with a passiven stimulating charm of Yin, but the tone was downright domineering and disdainful. There was so much contempt that it made oneʼs heart grow cold.

The Evil Sentinel released a guttural roar. He took out and ate a pill. The injuries on his arm began to steam with a life-stimulating smoke, swiftly repairing his bones, flesh, and skin.

In a single blink of a mortalʼs eye, his arm was fully repaired.

”Iʼll enjoy having both of you today then!” As he did, he began to exert World Pressure! Clearly, he was no longer holding back!

”At least you have some awareness,” Na Xinyi smilingly remarked as she retrieved her double-edged sword with a pure white blade. Her Yin Aura unleashed a strange ghastly chill into the air.

Yo, Erdiul here. Last mass release of May from the author. Posted these a bit late because of detection from WN. The author apparently will be making changes to his privilege prices to make it more affordable, so thatʼs nice, I guess. If you can and want to, when that happens, you can support him on WN. Pirated content probably wonʼt stop happening though. Chapters were short, but provides an entry into the CKC. Na Xinyi/Tian Yinwu being in the same sentence as Wei Wuyin puts a bitter taste in my mouth though. Anyways, hope yʼall had a good reading session.

Until next time.
