Seven Deadly Sins System

Chapter 72 The Circle of Life

Chu Wuyao continued climbing the staircase that seemingly led to the top of the world, going through the tests of combat power and soul defense continuously.

At the start, she was still a little excited because of the slaughter in the arena, but as time passed, she became more calm.

By the time she was close to the top, her emotions had completely cooled down and she had almost become numb.

Raising her feet, Chu Wuyao climbed another step, only to be transferred to the arena once again.

She was originally expecting a swarm of swordsmen to besiege her, but this time, there seemed to be a change.

Although there was still a the familiar male figure on the opposite time, this time, his aura was slightly different.

Chu Wuyao, who had killed this man countless times and had become extremely familiar with him, noticed this change immediately.

Extending her senses, she tried to judge his strength, only to find that the man was like a bottomless pit, sucking her thoughts in and rendering her unable to find his strength.

However, even though the man's strength had changed, his habits obviously remained the same.

He didn't say anything, and not giving Chu Wuyao any chance, he swung his sword forward, attacking her head-on.

This attack was quite familiar to Chu Wuyao, but when she faced this particular sword, her intuition surprisingly warned her of danger.

Instinctively, she waved her hand, creating a bunch of blazing, black flames in front of her that gathered into a circular shield.

"Boom!"

The sword struck the shield made out of flames, but seemed to have hit a wall made out of cotton.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Wuyao stepped on the ground and her figure flew back, opening up some distance.

From his speed and his attack, she instantly realized that the man's strength had increased dramatically from before.

In fact, he faintly stronger than Li Zhengyu and the white-haired young man.

"Has his strength actually reached the Shackles Realm, or is it just close to it?", she wondered secretly, but her movements never stopped.

If it was before, Chu Wuyao might have been worried, but now, she had some confidence to fight against the man opposite to her.

Feeling the massive strength that was hidden inside her body, caused through the slaughter of thousands of people, she was instantly filled with confidence.

Her figure suddenly disappeared and the next second, she flashed right next to the man, whose sword was still fighting against the flaming shield.

Her right hand turned into a claw and twisted in a strange way, stretching towards the man's abdomen.

As her arm moved, her nails shone with a white glow, as if they were sharp weapons that were reflecting the surrounding light.

Facing her attack, the man on the opposite side still remained indifferent.

With a move of his arm, he pulled the sword back and placed it in front of him, ready to meet Chu Wuyao's hand.

Just then, Chu Wuyao's eyes shone with a strange red light.

Instantly, the man's eyes behind the mist became slightly blurry and countless pictures seemed to form in his field of vision.

However, the next moment, his body shook and the illusory pictures shattered. Find exclusive stories on empire

Fortunately, his momentary stupor had bought enough time for Chu Wuyao.

"Let's all meet at some other time.", the woman chuckled and after she blew a kiss towards them she stepped inside the white gate.

Even after she had disappeared, most of the disciples didn't recover.

Whether it was a man or a woman, their eyes had turned red and their legs were trembling, inexplicably aroused.

"Is that senior sister Yue?" a voice broke the silence.

"I didn't expect that senior sister Yue would also be attracted to this place."

"We're so lucky to have seen senior sister Yue!"

When the disciples recovered, they started chatting with each other excitedly, their topic being senior sister Yue.

What they didn't notice that at some unknown time, a black-haired woman had appeared right next to the white gate.

Her indifferent gaze passed through the disciples and then, she stepped into the gate.

Throughout this whole process, no person noticed her arrival, nor her disappearance.

"Cough, cough. How about we all go in together and watch senior sister Yue's magnificence?" senior brother Peng suddenly raised his voice and suggested.

His words immediately received the agreement of everyone.

If before, they cared about the so-called treasure, then now, they only wanted to admire their senior sister!

"Wait, what is that?", a young woman spoke out of nowhere and pointed at the ground next to her.

Her exclamation attracted the attention of the disciples next to her, who followed her finger, only to find a thin, transparent line that was moving.

"Is this some kind of new monster?", one of the disciples questioned and he revealed a look of curiosity.

However, the next moment, this look disappeared, replaced by a look of horror.

Under everyone's shocked eyes, the thin line multiplied, turning from one to two and from two to four.

When there were finally tens of these lines, they each moved, choosing one of the disciples and flying towards them.

Their speed was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, the line landed on them.

Immediately, each of the disciples felt their skin being pierced through and their blood being sucked out.

"Wh-what? Help!"

"Monster!"

"My senior brother will avenge me!"

A few disciples cast various skills and tried to break free, but their struggle proved to be meaningless.

Soon, the curses and the sound of begging for mercy cooled down and the transparent lines, now slightly thicker, returned to the ground and disappeared.

Around the gate, there was no longer any evidence of anyone having been there, as if these disciples never existed.

Not long another, another team of outer disciples arrived in this place and looked at the white gate floating above the small hill.

"I didn't expect that one day I would be lucky enough to meet a treasure place.", one of the team's members spoke happily.

"Indeed, but I suggest we wait for more people to gather before going in. With more people, our safety will be guaranteed.", an other member said solemnly and his words instantly received the approval of everyone.
