Absolute Death Game-Chapter 419 - 39 Chapter Sibling Rivalry_3
"Hehe, although you’ve indeed grown a lot over the years, defeating me won’t be so easy. Besides, Senior Xuan Zhenzi should succeed very soon. Little Junior Sister, you might as well not waste your energy," Gu Yuexuan said these words very sensibly, just as he used to instruct his junior sister in martial arts on any other day. This made Ji Xiangyun’s mind stir.
Ji Xiangyun thought for a moment, then a sly smile flashed across her face. Somewhat petulantly, she set down her sword and simply sat down with her legs crossed: "Big Senior Brother, you’re right, I certainly can’t beat you."
"You’re giving up?" Gu Yuexuan was surprised by Ji Xiangyun’s blunt admission.
Ji Xiangyun helplessly shrugged her shoulders and said, "Anyway, I can’t defeat you in a short time. Like you said, by the time I get out, Master will have already lost his life. I’m just wasting effort, but even without me, it doesn’t matter. Do you still remember the story of the bucket that Master told us when we were kids? How much water a bucket can hold doesn’t depend on its longest wooden slat but is determined by its shortest one. Big Senior Brother, you certainly are very powerful, but don’t forget, among us, our Fourth Junior Brother is the weakest. His fight with Second Senior Brother, I believe, will be decided very soon. Then, Master naturally has Second Senior Brother to save him, and me, since we can’t get out anyway, I’ve already done enough by holding you back." Ji Xiangyun’s words were logical, causing a shock to Gu Yuexuan’s heart, realizing that his little junior sister had grown up unknowingly.
However, Gu Yuexuan didn’t entirely agree with his junior sister’s words: "Little Junior Brother, although he has been with the sect for a shorter time, you should be able to see that he’s different from you and me."
"You mean he comes from the Heaven Beyond Heaven world?" Ji Xiangyun asked, as if this wasn’t a big secret between them.
Gu Yuexuan nodded: "He is blessed by Heavenly Dao and has good fortune we can’t reach. Since he’s on our side this time, our chances of winning are much better."
Ji Xiangyun waved her hand with some irritation: "Big Senior Brother, let’s not talk about him. Can you tell me what exactly happened thirty years ago?"
As Ji Xiangyun and Gu Yuexuan vanished, Xiao Buli and Jingci were simultaneously surrounded by a white light. Jingci only saw a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the two were already in a vast expanse of white emptiness.
"Eh, where is this?" Xiao Buli asked with some curiosity. "Second Senior Brother, what spell did you use?" Xiao Buli was entirely unaware of the protective barrier of the Mystic Hollow Palace.
Jingci had been at Mystic Hollow Palace longer than Ji Xiangyun and had deeply studied the palace’s barrier before. Therefore, upon entering the void, Jingci immediately thought of this. Hearing Xiao Buli’s question and despite his reluctance to answer, Jingci, who at heart was quite pure, after some hesitation, still said coldly: "This is the protective barrier of Mystic Hollow Palace. I guess either Big Senior Brother or Qingfeng Mingyue activated it. Now, the only way I can leave this place is to defeat you." Having said that, Jingci turned to face Xiao Buli, beckoned to him, and said: "I didn’t expect we would have to cross swords one day, but for Master’s sake, I will go all out and show no mercy. Come on, let’s see if your martial arts have improved recently."
Xiao Buli was somewhat panicky at this moment. He had thought that with the four of them teaming up, Big Senior Brother’s powerful martial arts would help him if he defeated Little Junior Sister, but he hadn’t expected this barrier to isolate them so starkly from the world.
Xiao Buli instinctively felt that Big Senior Brother, Jingci, and Ji Xiangyun were much more formidable than himself, not just by a small margin, especially after witnessing their recent improvements in strength. Although he had his own fortuitous encounters in the Immortal Realm, he still felt he probably wasn’t a match for the three of them.
Thinking of the Immortal Realm, Xiao Buli suddenly remembered his Seven-day Divine Strength, and his heart suddenly felt a bit more confident. He didn’t know if this divine power would work against Second Senior Brother, but at this point, he had no choice but to grasp at any straw.

With that thought, Xiao Buli gritted his teeth, equipped the molten lava barrier, and drew the Glowing Light Sword from his hand.
Although the Heart of Ice he had just received from the Immortal Realm fell under the category of flying swords, its attributes conflicted with the molten lava barrier, resulting in poorer performance when used together. Therefore, Xiao Buli decided to stick with the Glowing Light gifted to him by his Big Senior Brother.
Igniting his internal energy in his hand, a white light surged up from the body of the Glowing Light Sword and pierced the sky. In an instant, the entire empty space felt even more dazzling with white light, further obscuring the discernment of spatial distance.
Seeing this, Jingci inwardly cursed, almost forgetting that the Two-Yi Formation was divided into Yin and Yang, with corresponding water and fire attributes. Judging by his surroundings, which were wholly white and seemed to belong to the Yang extreme, his attribute would be fire. Xiao Buli, whether by chance or otherwise, had equipped and used internal energy that also fell into the Yang category, resulting in enhanced strength, which unexpectedly didn’t seem weak.
However, Jingci was indisputably much stronger than Xiao Buli, not just by a small margin, and he knew the Two-Yi Formation well. So even though he was briefly alarmed, it didn’t show on the surface.
With a spell in hand, he punched towards the ground, and a lightning bolt accompanied by fire burst from the ground and headed straight for Xiao Buli. Xiao Buli, seeing this, did not dare to delay, quickly leaping away to dodge the oncoming lightning strike, and at the same time, his sword performed a move called "White Crane Flashes Its Wings," sending out a beam of Sword Qi like a long rainbow, cleaving towards Jingci.
