C399 He Admitted Defeat
Wu Di felt cold sweat on his forehead. Could this silly girl be a little more tactful when she was facing her own elders? Was this kind of attitude really good?
Sure enough, Huo Xi's anger had deepened. He knitted his brows and said, "You have always been willful and reckless. Do you really not care about the consequences before doing something? Don't you know that becoming a spectral Cultivator means that you won't have a chance to reincarnate in the future? Either you continue to cultivate endlessly, or you will be reduced to ashes. "
Wu Di's heart skipped a beat. He really did not think of this. If that was the case, wouldn't he have harmed Huo Yan'er?
"Little uncle, that is my own business. Besides, I believe that Wu Di wouldn't ignore me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much effort looking for this Psychic Jade Pendant for me. He wouldn't have thought of all kinds of ways to help me improve my strength."
Huo Yan'er waved her hand and the Psychic Jade Pendant appeared in her hand.
Huo Xi was also a person who had seen the world. Whether the Psychic Jade Pendant was a treasure or not, he could tell at a glance. Moreover, it was because of this Psychic Jade Pendant that he found Wu Di and forced out Huo Yan'er, who had already become a ghost cultivator and could not turn back.
Wu Di carefully observed Huo Xi's expression on the side and found that his expression was calm. He knew that he should have known about the matter of this Psychic Jade Pendant a long time ago. It was not difficult to guess Huo Yan'er's current situation.
He took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother Huo. This matter is indeed something that I need to consider, but Huo Yan'er lost her life because of me. I definitely can't just watch her die like this. Although the path of a ghost cultivator is as hard as ascending to the heavens, I dare to swear on my heart demon. As long as I, Wu Di, am here, I will definitely protect Huo Yan'er. I will also do my best to help her reach the peak of the Ghost Dao and give her the chance to ascend to the God Realm. "
"Humph! Her tone isn't small at all." Huo Xi obviously did not trust Wu Di's words.
Wu Di was not angry, but Huo Yan'er was staring at him with a pair of hot eyes, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Little uncle, you are not allowed to bully Wu Di. Anyway, this is my own business, you can't interfere." Before Huo Xi could attack Wu Di, Huo Yan'er stretched out her arms like a calf and protected Wu Di behind her.
Looking at her niece who had failed to meet her expectations, Huo Xi decided not to attack. It was not like he did not want to attack either. For a moment, his expression changed.
At this moment, Wu Di finally reacted. He took two steps forward and protected Huo Yan'er behind him. He said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I will avenge Yan'er. The person who killed her will have to pay the price for this. But if you have to kill me to vent your anger, I can't do as you wish. After all, I also have a reason to live."
Huo Xi furrowed his brows. He didn't seem to understand what Wu Di was trying to do.
Wu Di flipped his palm and the Seven Star Divine Spear appeared in his hand." How about a battle? If I lose, I'll do whatever I want. If I win, I'll leave this matter to me."
"You sure have a big tone."
[No, I don't agree.] Huo Yan'er objected.
However, the two men stared at her at the same time. For a moment, this hot-tempered and willful little girl cowered and subconsciously took two steps back.
This stand was unavoidable. In order to complicate things, Wu Di directly requested Huo Yan'er to return to the Psychic Jade Pendant first so as not to be discovered as a ghost cultivator. Although Huo Yan'er was unwilling, she also knew that her identity was not suitable to be exposed in front of everyone, so she could only temporarily return to the jade pendant.
Huo Xi stared at Wu Di and said, "Don't you regret it?"
"If you regret it, you won't agree. I just hope that you can show mercy later." Wu Di said calmly. He didn't have the fear and fear he felt when he was a level higher than him.
Huo Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, then he attacked. He and Wu Di had pointed it out before. At that time, he felt that Wu Di would be a good opponent if he could grow quickly.
However, he never thought that he would be able to fight so quickly. To Huo Xi, who was born to fight, this was no different from pleasing him.
When Wu Di saw the Red Spirit Sword that had turned into a fiery snake, he finally understood that Huo Xi was indeed extraordinary. However, this was very normal. How many of the official disciples of the Sky Reaching Sect were ordinary people?
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of rounds had passed. During this time, Wu Di actually did not lose out in the slightest. He was still testing Huo Xi's moves, trying to find a way to counter it.
If it was in terms of strength, Wu Di might not be Huo Xi's match. Maybe he would fall into Huo Xi's hands if he was not careful.
However, he was still lucky. At least, he could dodge every danger instinctively. In addition, the things he saw were complicated. There were countless countermeasures in his mind. He had actually suppressed Huo Xi's attacks several times. This made Huo Xi start to feel restrained.
As soon as the fire snake wrapped around the Seven Star Divine Spear, Wu Di suddenly changed a technique. The Seven Star Divine Spear suddenly turned into a blue light and escaped the fire snake's attack.
Next, it was like a ribbon wrapping around the fire snake, suppressing it completely and making it unable to move.
Huo Xi was only slightly shocked for a moment before he suddenly put away the Red Spirit Sword. His actions made Wu Di secretly sigh in relief. This was already his limit. If the other party used any new tricks, Wu Di was afraid that he would have to lose.
Fortunately, Huo Xi stopped his attack at this time. Although Huo Xi had a strange temper, he was still very trustworthy. He cupped his hands and said, "I lost."
Wu Di was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly, "Isn't this only half of the competition?"
It was obvious that there was no winner. What was going on with Huo Xi?
However, Huo Xi did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he asked, "Yan'er's death has something to do with you. Now that she has become like this, you must take responsibility. Remember your oath. If you dare to use Yan'er as a shield or something, Huo Family will never forgive you. "
Huo Xi left without hesitation. No one had seen today's competition, but Wu Di felt that something was strange in his heart. Was Huo Yan'er's uncle really here to settle the score with him? It didn't look like it.
At this moment, Huo Yan'er ran out again and hid her figure. She followed Wu Di as if she was invisible.
"My uncle has a weird temper. Don't mind him. But I think he deliberately went easy on us just now. He probably endured the pain between us." Huo Yan'er's words were filled with an indescribable excitement.
Wu Di stopped in his tracks. Suddenly, a bad feeling welled up in his heart. His face was full of doubt as he asked, "What did you say just now? What's the relationship?"
"I gave up my life for you, and you promised to protect me for the rest of my life. What relationship could that be? Aiya, you're so annoying. This kind of thing... " You want a girl like me to say something like that? You're so embarrassed. "
Huo Yan'er was transparent. Wu Di could not see her expression at all. However, that sweet and sweet voice that did not fit her image gave Wu Di goosebumps all over his body.
Realizing that there was a misunderstanding, Wu Di immediately said, "Huo Yan'er, stop it. Although I promised to protect you, I have no other intentions."
Such an urgent explanation brought silence. Wu Di was not sure if this girl was still around. However, when he thought about it, it was not good. This girl could turn invisible, but he could not see her. In the future, if he were to do something... shameful, this girl was watching from the side. He did not even know that she was watching from the side.
Just thinking about it made Wu Di feel that he was not in a good mood.
"I know that the person you like is not me but Elder Sister Meng, right?" Huo Yan'er's voice carried a trace of melancholy.
Wu Di coughed, "Not exactly. Right now, I am only thinking about how to improve my cultivation base. As for my son and daughter, I will not consider it for now."
These words were not lying to Huo Yan'er. It was Wu Di who really thought so. At this moment, his mood was very complicated. Although he did not have that kind of feeling towards Huo Yan'er, he could not give up on her. Otherwise, he would not have thought of the ghost cultivator's idea.
