Chapter 1418: Chapter 385: Heroes Compete for the Crown, Lotus Bullet Destroys Lion King—Within 10 Feet of Half-step Ahead of Heaven, I Am Heaven [Monthly Ticket Requested]_2

The battle between Li Che and the Jade Guanyin attracted the attention of many.

But no one expected this fight to end so quickly.

The Jade Guanyin from the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest was extremely mysterious. Of the entire South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, only one hero came, and that was the Jade Guanyin. Yet, she could forcibly make it to the third round of the Heroic Victory Conference.

Possessing the qualification to compete for the top hero position.

But how could she lose so fast?

Forced to a dead end by Li Half-Saint using a mechanical beast, and then having her vaunted defense shattered with a single axe stroke, she ultimately fell completely behind.

Buzzing——

A wave of divine intertwining.

Subsequently, the Jade Guanyin, with disheveled hair and blood-stained white cloth, appeared gracefully on the White Jade Square.

Her complexion was slightly pale, with a bit of relief in her eyes.

There wasn’t much resentment; in her view, losing to Li Che was a form of tempering herself.

Li Che was her natural nemesis, whether it was the mechanical beast or that black axe capable of splitting the Guanyin Cloth.

The mysterious axe in Li Che’s hand signified that facing him was equivalent to standing on invincible ground, as the defense of the Guanyin Cloth was nullified in front of Li Che.

All around, the gazes quickly converged, landing on her.

The Jade Guanyin dusted off the lingering bloodstains on her body and slowly exhaled.

Purple-clothed Eunuch Lian appeared in an instant, smiling and handing her some healing elixir, produced by the Qintian Observatory, of not low grade.

The Jade Guanyin did not hesitate, thanked Eunuch Lian, and swallowed the elixir.

After her injury improved a bit, amidst the many watching eyes, she walked towards the main banquet area of the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest.

The Divine Sect Master of the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest was a graceful woman, also dressed in white, exuding a calming presence.

”Master, I lost... I even lost the Guanyin Cloth, and also that Purple Bamboo...”

Seeing her master, the Jade Guanyin’s long-held composure finally broke.

As the heavenly pride hero of the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, she was just over thirty years old this year, and having never left the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, she had never suffered such a huge setback.

Tears fell like rolling beads, each drop landing with a patter.

But the Purple Bamboo Forest Sect Master simply smiled and stroked the Jade Guanyin, who burrowed beside her like a little girl.

”Losing is losing, it’s okay, consider it as a trial.”

”One failure is not much, our South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest is, after all, the bottom of the Divine Sect, and making it this far is already quite good.”

The Purple Bamboo Forest Sect Master said with a smile.

The Jade Guanyin soon opened up: ”I couldn’t beat him. Li Half-Saint is not only adept with mechanisms but also wields a peculiar black axe that split the Guanyin Cloth...”

”I was frightened. The Guanyin Cloth is one of our Purple Bamboo Forest’s Four Royal Divine Weapons, and he managed to break it...”

The Jade Guanyin shook her head: ”Without the Guanyin Cloth, I’m even less of a match for him.”

The Purple Bamboo Forest Sect Master’s eyes flickered: ”The black axe that broke the Guanyin Cloth is probably related to Dao Yun, so losing to a hero who possesses Dao Yun is not disgraceful.”

Hearing this, the Jade Guanyin’s mood improved considerably.

”Li Half-Saint said that since he broke the Guanyin Cloth, he wanted to borrow it for a while. I think maybe he doesn’t intend to return it.”

The Jade Guanyin said.

The Purple Bamboo Forest Sect Master laughed: ”How do you know he won’t return it?”

”That Guanyin Cloth is clearly meant for women. Li Half-Saint probably wouldn’t use it, likely... he’s preparing it for his daughter or wife.”

”I think it’s more likely for his daughter.”

”The Guanyin Cloth can save lives at critical moments... Li Half-Saint’s love for his daughter is evident to all. He borrowed the Guanyin Cloth, maybe just to give his daughter some safety assurance.”

”His daughter was schemed against by the Temple God of the Black Sumeru faction and suffered the Prison Lotus Curse. When attempting to attack the Divine Fetus, she might be burned by the Prison Lotus Fire, at risk of death...”
