With a shrug, Su Luo spread her hands and said casually: "Young Master Lan, you are a wise man. Is there a need for you to ask me?"
"We can have a truce, but you must hand over the antidote." With a move of his body, Lan Yingyan appeared right before Su Luo.
Despite continuing to wear a casual smile as though nothing had bothered her, Su Luo’s body had turned tense as she entered a state of alert emergency. From the beginning, she worked step by step, calculating all possibilities, which finally led to this deadlock. She couldn't fall short just because of her carelessness in one aspect.
She proceeded to reply with a faint smile: "Young Master Lan wants to capture me and then search for the antidote. However, this method is pointless, because I only brought out a part of the antidote. The other part is with Senior Brother Luo."
Lan Yingyan balled up his sleeve covered fists!!
What a wench! She was witty and had an airtight defence.
"So, how should we proceed?" Lan Yingyan's voice was deep and coarse as he forcefully suppressed his anger.
"It's very simple. I will give you a part of the antidote. After our team returns to Wuchen Mountain safely, I will give you the other part of the antidote."
Under the fierce gaze of Lan Yingyan, Su Luo continued to smile faintly, like a light, calm blowing breeze, as though nothing could shake her at all.
Lan Yingyan could feel the green meridian going deeper and deeper. At this moment, it was not far from the heart and the lungs…
"What if you don't fulfill your promise after returning to Wuchen Mountain?" Lan Yingyan said defensively.
"Have you forgotten that this is a world where strength is respected?" Su Luo squinted at him. What she meant was that Lan Yingyan was stronger than her, so how dare she break her promise?
Nevertheless, Lan Yingyan wasn’t that easy to fool. With an aggressive look in his eyes, he glared back at her : "Unless you promise to go back to Wuchen Mountain, and fight a life or death duel with me in the Gravity Chamber!"
Lan Yingyan felt that he succumbed completely to his anger, resulting in him playing right into Su Luo’s hands. With his real strength, not even ten of Su Luos would be enough to kill him!
It was another huge declaration of war.
Su Luo looked at Lan Yingyan with a cold gaze, taking in the undisguised arrogance and killing intent present in his eyes.
Su Luo saw looks of malice flashing through the eyes of Yan Xiao and the others. She knew that if she didn't agree to this duel, they would unite and kill Lan Yingyan, followed by herself. It would be troublesome if that occurs.
Su Luo raised her mouth slightly: "A life and death battle? Alright, but it will be in a month."
Would she be able undergo a massive increase in strength in that month? A ridiculing sneer appeared at the corner of Lan Yingyan’s mouth, though he proceeded to nod: "Sure."
As a result, the two people signed a life and death battle without regard for anyone else.
Su Luo swept her indifferent gaze over Yan Xiao and the others, before throwing a Vermilion Pill to Lan Yingyan, "Swallow it. It will work immediately."
Yan Xiao exchanged quite a few glances with the others. However, as no one dared to go first, it resulted in his hesitation to move. And while they were still thinking, Lan Yingyan had already consumed that half of the antidote.
At that moment, an unconcealed look of disappointment flashed in their eyes.
That was their best chance to get rid of Lan Yingyan…
"Let's go!" Probably feeling too embarrassed by the chain of events, Lan Yingyan threw off those two words in a cold voice, with him already dashing away from the scene.
Yan Xiao shot Su Luo a glare with his gloom-filled eyes, before making a beheading gesture with his right hand towards Su Luo. Nevertheless, he still stomped off full of anger in pursuit of Lan Yingyan. In the end, both Mo Li and Mo Ze stomped angrily in turn and followed suit.
It was only after all of them had left that Li Man Man came back to her senses. She looked at Su Luo in amazement: "I didn't expect for you to have a solution in hand! I thought you were destined to die this time! You really are too damn smart! You’ve actually managed to pull those arrogant peacocks by their noses!”
Being able to turn a disadvantage into an advantageous situation when the entire army was about to be wiped out was not something ordinary people could accomplish.
Su Luo smiled faintly, appearing not to care: "Since you were in danger because of me, how could I leave you alone?"
Li Man Man looked at Su Luo with a magical gaze. There was admiration in her eyes that she had never showed before, but after she realized she was treating Su Luo too well, she changed her expression into a fierce look: "Don't be too proud of yourself! Senior Brother Luo's innocence still hangs on you!"
Su Luo rubbed her nose with a wry smile.
Senior Brother Luo Qing looked at Su Luo with worry in his eyes.
"Does Senior Brother Luo Qing have something to say?" Su Luo asked when she saw that he was hesitant to speak.
Senior Brother Luo Qing frowned: "Having just fought against Lan Yingyan, you know his true strength better than anyone else. How would you be able to deal with his life and death battle?"
The battered and bruised Tian Mang was even more direct: "That's right, Little Luo Luo. Although you are very strong, you still can't beat Lan Yingyan at all. Are you sure you are not going to die?"
Xu Yin also looked at Su Luo with concern with a slight frown appearing on his face.
Li Man Man followed up : "What can we do? This is a life and death battle! There’s no way for you to reject it after agreeing to it!"
"What are you all afraid of? Didn't he just get beaten by me? He doesn’t seem any bit extraordinary at all, you know." Su Luo replied with an indifferent smile.
Nevertheless, Brother Luo Qing continued to stare at Su Luo sternly: "Just now, Lan Yingyan assumed that you only possess a seven-star Commander Rank. This resulted in him being too careless. He underestimated you, so he didn’t use his true strength, which led to his loss."
Li Man Man nodded frantically.
Senior Brother Luo Qing continued to speak in a serious tone: "However, after this, Lan Yingyan will be prepared for you. Next time, he won’t be careless, let alone merciful. I assume that you’ll have no room left for any counterattack once he makes his move…"
After all, there was a huge disparity in strength between the two.
Su Luo stroked her chin in contemplation. Upon raising her head and seeing the concerned expressions of the people in her team, she smiled: "We can cross that bridge when we reach 1. Isn't this still a month away? Why are you getting overwhelmed with worry? I feel that you all seem to have forgotten the main purpose of us coming to the Magical Beast Zone this time."
At this time, everyone remembered about the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass.
The moment Su Luo flew up to pick the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass, Li Man Man made a statement: "Now I really don't know whether it’s us protecting her or her protecting us for our trip into the Inner Magical Beast Zone."
Everyone: "…"
In Su Luo's view, the Thousand-Eyed Condor was much easier to deal with than Lan Yingyan’s group. It didn't take long before she flew down the cliff with the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass.
At this point, the task of entering the Inner Magical Beast Zone was considered completed.
However, due to Lan Yingyan's life and death battle, everyone was in a bad mood. Therefore, they rushed back, returning to Wuchen Mountain in less than three days.
Inside Wuchen Mountain.
When Luo Yichen heard Su Luo and Lan Yingyan's duel, his brows furrowed slightly, before he stood up and paced about in the training room.
After pacing back and forth, the usual calm expression reappeared on his handsome face, before following up with a sigh: "It’s still alright. This will give that naughty girl more pressure that will in turn motivate her to train harder. Only through this will her strength grow fast…"
After thinking about it, Luo Yichen still proceeded to transfer some points towards Su Luo's diamond token.
