Chapter 103 A Reversal of Fortune, Breaking the Predicament with Wisdom
Dai Yao grabbed the mysterious figure and vanished in a flash.
Almost simultaneously, a sharp sword aura ripped through the sky and struck the spot where they had just been standing.
"Tsk, you run pretty fast!" A sharp voice rang out, and a man dressed in purple appeared in mid-air, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a sinister gaze.
"Run? Why should we run?" Dai Yao's voice suddenly came from behind him, her tone tinged with mockery.
The man in purple turned around abruptly, only to find Dai Yao and the mysterious figure already behind him, their faces bearing a half-smile.
"You bunch of worthless nobodys think you can stop me?" Dai Yao said contemptuously, her eyes full of mockery.
People from other factions appeared one after another, each with an unfriendly expression and a murderous aura.
Dai Yao looked around, her eyes showing no fear, but instead revealing a strange smile: "So many people have come to their deaths, you really think highly of me!"
Provoked by Dai Yao, the crowd was enraged and about to make a move when they heard Dai Yao say, "I suddenly feel that this battle for destiny is meaningless. I'm not playing anymore!" With that, she sighed in feigned disappointment, as if she had truly given up the competition.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
What exactly is Dai Yao up to?
Really give up?
Some sneered, "Pretending! You think you can fool us like this?" Others were skeptical, after all, Dai Yao's previous behavior was too bizarre and unpredictable.
Even the mysterious figure who had been following Dai Yao looked at her with some confusion, seemingly not quite understanding her intentions.
Dai Yao merely gave him a reassuring look, then turned to the crowd, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Believe it or not. Anyway, I've decided to withdraw from this boring game." She paused, her gaze falling on the man in purple, her tone laced with provocation: "What, you think you can stop me?"
The man in purple snorted coldly, about to speak, when Dai Yao's expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed, "Oh dear! I suddenly remembered there's something important I haven't done yet!" She grabbed the mysterious figure's hand and said urgently, "Hurry! It'll be too late if we're late!"
The two disappeared again, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What...what exactly does she want to do?" someone muttered to themselves, a sense of unease rising in their heart.
The man in purple had a grim expression, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "Chase her! I want to see what tricks she's up to!"
"...Yao Yao, you..." The mysterious figure had just begun to speak when Dai Yao suddenly interrupted him, smiling mysteriously: "The real show is just beginning..."
Dai Yao and the mysterious figure made a few quick movements, completely shaking off the pursuing group.
Those people were completely fooled by Dai Yao, and they were so angry that they were jumping up and down, but they were helpless.
"Yaoyao, what exactly are you up to?" the mysterious figure finally couldn't help but ask, his tone tinged with curiosity and helplessness.
"Your actions have made them look like monkeys."
Dai Yao smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, I have a brilliant plan! Now, it's time for us to reap a harvest of韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited people)!"
While most forces were focused on the so-called "great war," Dai Yao used her special ability to sense the direction of the flow of fortune to secretly infiltrate a small source of fortune.
This place used to be guarded by a few small factions, but now... hehe, they've all gone to watch the fun!
Looking at the almost undefended source of fortune before her, Dai Yao felt secretly delighted: "This is truly heaven's help! This is practically a free bargain!" She quickly absorbed the fortune from the source, feeling her own power growing rapidly.
"Wuhu~Take off!"
However, just as Dai Yao was absorbing the energy, a powerful pressure suddenly descended, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Who dares to steal our fortune?!" A majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, carrying an undeniable deterrent force.
Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw an old man in a golden robe, with an air of otherworldly grace, standing in mid-air, exuding a suffocating pressure.
"The Celestial Venerable of Destiny?!" Dai Yao was shocked.
She knew that this mysterious being who controlled destiny possessed unfathomable strength, far beyond her ability to contend with.
The Celestial Venerable of Destiny stared coldly at Dai Yao, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes: "Junior, how dare you be so audacious as to disrupt the order of destiny!"
Dai Yao forced a smile and said, "That... Heavenly Venerable, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I was just passing by, just passing by..."
"Just passing by?" The Celestial Venerable of Destiny sneered, clearly not believing Dai Yao's nonsense.
"Disrupting the flow of fortune is an unforgivable crime!"
Dai Yao inwardly groaned, knowing that this time the odds were against her.
A mysterious figure stood in front of her, his gaze resolute: "Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I'll hold him off!"
"Heh," the Celestial Venerable of Destiny glanced disdainfully at the mysterious figure, "Overestimating yourself!"
He slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying power began to gather...
"Wait!" Dai Yao suddenly called out.
"Any last words?" the Celestial Venerable of Destiny asked coldly.
Dai Yao took a deep breath, a sly glint in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have a secret. Would you like to know?"
When the Celestial Venerable of Destiny made his move, the world changed color!
A golden light, carrying a world-destroying pressure, rushed straight towards Dai Yao and the mysterious figure.
"Yao Yao, be careful!" The mysterious figure shielded Dai Yao behind him, his spiritual power surging, and he withstood the attack.
Dai Yao wasn't the kind of naive girl who would hide behind a man. She rapidly circulated her inner energy while observing the attack patterns of the Heavenly Venerable of Fortune.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this old man is pretty fierce," Dai Yao muttered to herself as she activated her "luck radar."
The onlookers, eager to see Dai Yao utterly destroyed, were already whispering amongst themselves, "That devil is dead for sure!" and "Serves him right! He tried to steal a chicken but lost his rice!"
At this critical moment, Dai Yao's eyes lit up, "Bingo!" She discovered that when the Heavenly Venerable of Destiny attacked, the flow of Qi was slightly disrupted, like a computer freezing for a moment.
The opportunity was fleeting, so Dai Yao immediately shouted, "Left side! Hit him three inches out of his left elbow!"
The mysterious figure carried out Dai Yao's orders without hesitation and with complete trust.
The spirit sword in his hand transformed into a streak of light, piercing straight at the "life gate" of the Heavenly Venerable of Destiny.
An unbelievable scene unfolded: the attack of the Celestial Venerable of Destiny actually paused for a moment!
This brief pause gave Dai Yao and the mysterious figure a chance to catch their breath.
The mysterious figure looked at Dai Yao with eyes full of love and admiration.
He held Dai Yao's hand tightly, and a warm current flowed into Dai Yao's body. The two fought side by side, as if they were one.
Dai Yao grasped his hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a strange power welled up in her heart.
"Heh, this is interesting." A cold smile appeared on the lips of the Celestial Venerable of Destiny, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes... The Celestial Venerable of Destiny was taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and then burst into laughter.
"Little girl, you're quite interesting! You actually managed to see through my weakness. But do you think you can win just like that?" As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him suddenly became heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on everyone's hearts.
Dai Yao knew in her heart that something was wrong; this old guy was about to unleash a powerful move!
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I'm here." The mysterious figure's voice was gentle yet firm, giving Dai Yao immense courage.
Dai Yao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Now is not the time for romance; we need to find a way to break this deadlock!
She activated the "Fate Radar" again, trying to find a weakness in the Fate Celestial.
However, this time, the Celestial Venerable of Fortune seemed to have learned his lesson. His flow of fortune became extremely stable, like a stagnant pool of water, without any ripples.
"Could it be... that they have no weaknesses?" Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. Were they really going to die here today?
No!
She absolutely cannot admit defeat!
Just then, Dai Yao had a flash of inspiration and remembered what Ling Kong had said before: "Luck is not static; it changes with a person's actions." Since the luck of the Heavenly Venerable of Luck is so stable, she would find a way to make him "move"!
"Lingkong, do me a favor!" Dai Yao shouted into the void.
The next second, Ling Kong appeared beside Dai Yao, holding a strangely shaped magical artifact in his hand.
"Yaoyao, what do you need me to do?"
"Help me disrupt the fortune of the Celestial Lord of Fortune!"
Without saying a word, Lingkong immediately activated the magical artifact in his hand.
Strange beams of light shot out from the magical artifact, like serpents, coiling towards the Celestial Venerable of Fortune.
The Heavenly Venerable of Destiny's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting Dai Yao to have this trick up her sleeve.
His luck did indeed begin to fluctuate, though only slightly, but that was enough for Dai Yao!
"Now!" Dai Yao shouted, and she and the mysterious figure attacked at the same time, targeting the weakness of the Heavenly Venerable of Destiny.
Just as the attack was about to hit the Celestial Venerable of Destiny, suddenly, a black shadow flashed by and blocked the Celestial Venerable of Destiny's path.
"Who?" Dai Yao and the mysterious figure stopped simultaneously and looked at the newcomer warily.
The newcomer was dressed in black, his face obscured, only his cold eyes were visible.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse: "You've had your fun."
