Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 688 - 591: Thrilling and Heart-Stopping

The elderly woman was very excited after her successful move; she hadn’t expected Zhao Yi to actually be struck, given Zhao Yi’s strength.

In her moment of hesitation, the elderly woman felt a stabbing pain in her body, looked down, and saw Zhao Yi had magically bound her, appearing unharmed behind her.

"The Cosmos’ sacred doctrine, origin of the Great Path!" With Zhao Yi’s incantation, the distant earth trembled, cracks split the ground, and masses of sand and stone flew directly towards the elderly woman.

"You little brat, you intend to seal me!" The elderly woman glared at Zhao Yi.

"Correct, I knew it would be difficult to kill you, so I used a clone to draw you in, secretly preparing the sealing technique! This Golden Light Seal can lock even immortals, let alone you!"

With confidence, Zhao Yi relentlessly performed sealing gestures to strengthen the seal, while the elderly woman seemed resigned, directly closing her eyes as the maggots on the ground gradually disappeared with the seal’s formation.

The dragon saw the elderly woman being sealed and roared, attempting to break free, but remained tightly entwined by the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.

A Five Finger Mountain appeared before Zhao Yi, the dragon collapsed and vanished, the prairie returned to serenity, and it seemed everything was over.

Zhao Yi stood on the ground, gazing at the accomplishment with great satisfaction.

"It was my first time performing a seal; I thought it would fail, but I didn’t expect such success!"

Zhao Yi couldn’t resist snapping his fingers; the Nine Dragon Jade Seal praised repeatedly, and the pair planned to rest briefly before moving forward, but as soon as they sat down, their stomachs began to grumble.

"I didn’t expect the spiritual energy to drain so quickly; I should’ve brought more food."

Zhao Yi sighed, looking around.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yi prepared to leave, but a familiar voice came from behind.

"Young man, I’m not dead yet; where do you intend to go?"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Yi’s hairs stood on end, turning around like he’d seen a ghost.

The elderly woman appeared completely unharmed, smiling at Zhao Yi.

"You weren’t sealed! That couldn’t have been your clone!"

"Certainly not a clone, truth be told, every plant here is transformed from my power; using my power to seal me is laughable!"

Watching Zhao Yi’s dismay, the elderly woman was delighted, but Zhao Yi felt frustrated, having expended all his energy while his opponent seemed unaffected—how to fight now!

"Master, doesn’t this old hag have a weakness?"

The irate Nine Dragon Jade Seal reminded Zhao Yi; indeed, everything has weaknesses and vulnerabilities, especially this old woman!

Zhao Yi observed the opponent closely; the white pendant on the elderly woman’s chest caught his attention; the pendant was blue and liquid seemed to flow within.

"Hiss!"

While Zhao Yi was dazed, the hissing sound around him drew his attention; hundreds of white pythons appeared, flicking tongues and swaying tails.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi summoned the Nine Dragon Jade Seal’s true form, using its rigid exterior to strike these creatures while acknowledging that the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, heavily consumed, couldn’t maintain its water dragon form much longer; once depleted, it would temporarily fall asleep.

"Hoo!"

The true form had just appeared when the pythons attacked, Zhao Yi evaded while utilizing the Nine Dragon Jade Seal for counterattacks; explosions erupted on the prairie as Zhao Yi dodged, evidently at a disadvantage.

The elderly woman watched with a smile from afar, confident that this battle would soon conclude.

After ten minutes of fighting, Zhao Yi’s speed visibly diminished, gradually approaching the elderly woman preparing for an ambush, and although aware of his intention, she did not deter it, wanting to seize him for an early end.

Both harbored deceitful plans, preparing independently.

"Drink!"

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal crashed like a bomb into the pythons, causing an instant explosion; Zhao Yi flew out through the blast’s shock wave, spinning in mid-air to land behind the elderly woman, golden light flashing toward her back!

The elderly woman was prepared, turning to dodge, as maggots lunged like steel cables toward Zhao Yi’s chest, while the Nine Dragon Jade Seal arrived at her back, determinedly attacking her!

The elderly woman dodged again, maggots suddenly appearing on her shoulders to assault the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.

Meanwhile, the maggots attacking Zhao Yi also struck, swiftly restoring form to penetrate his body.

"It’s over, Zhao Yi!"

The elderly woman triumphantly proclaimed the end, then Zhao Yi, who had been struck, suddenly transformed into the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, while the Nine Dragon Jade Seal morphed into Zhao Yi.

"Right here!"

Zhao Yi shouted, swinging his hand like a scythe toward the elderly woman.

This was their meticulously crafted strategy—Zhao Yi believed they could defeat her!

"Ah!"

The elderly woman screamed, her body cleaved only to turn into maggots wrapping Zhao Yi’s arm; during his daze, a hand emerged under the maggots, stabbing Zhao Yi’s chest, blood gushed, revealing the elderly woman’s form.

"I knew you’d target my true form, so I prepared a clone to wait for you, ensuring your complacency—how’s the taste, unpleasant isn’t it?"

The elderly woman proudly elucidated her plan, but Zhao Yi’s mouth curled into a smile.

"Who said this isn’t what I wanted!"

As his words fell, Zhao Yi clenched the elderly woman’s hands hard as the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, in water dragon form, directly seized the pendant from her chest.

"Ah! Give it back! Give it back quickly!"

When the pendant was taken away, the elderly woman turned hysterical, Zhao Yi distinctly felt the maggots within him disappearing.

Zhao Yi realized he had won the gamble!

Letting go, collapsing, shrinking, reverting to true form.

Looking at the emaciated elderly woman on the ground, Zhao Yi felt a mix of emotions.

She was an enemy, but this state evoked pity.

"I’m curious how you discovered the pendant was my weakness!"

"You and the maggots are afraid of water; logically, there’s no reason to wear a weakness, hence my conjecture it’s a weakness."

"Just that?"

The elderly woman was slightly incredulous, but when Zhao Yi nodded again, she knew he wasn’t lying.

"Gutsy! Gutsy." The elderly woman’s voice gradually softened until she vanished.

Zhao Yi also slumped to the ground, fainting.

After who knew how long, Zhao Yi awoke feeling drenched, opening his eyes to find a lot of white things around him, startling him.

"Damn!"

Zhao Yi jumped up to evade the white maggots, but upon closer inspection, he found it wasn’t maggots, just animal larvae.

Even so, Zhao Yi felt nauseated, wanting to leave, but his legs weakened, making him pant after several steps.

The New World is heart-to-heart with himself; under normal circumstances, he should’ve recovered by now.

Ultimately attributing it to this being the Cosmic Origin, hence the strange situation.

His stomach growled once more.

"Master, these larvae contain abundant spiritual power; you can eat them to replenish your strength."
