So, You Want to Solve Me

“Su Luo, when did you set up the formation?” Qing Bukuang asked with a dark expression.

Su Luo always had a way of pulling off the unexpected.

“That’s none of your concern. Now, let’s kill Lin Xuan. This formation will ensure no one disturbs us.”

The formation wasn’t particularly sturdy, but it would buy them enough time.

“Fine, then. Let’s kill Lin Xuan.”

Qing Bukuang made a gesture, but Su Luo couldn’t decipher its meaning. Was it some kind of attack plan?

Before Su Luo could figure it out, Qing Bukuang and the others launched their assault.

“One Sword, No Blood!”

The attack was so fast that their movements were almost impossible to track.

“Double Poison Dragons!”

Two venomous dragons spiraled through the air, leaving nothing alive in their wake.

“Sonic Explosion!”

Waves of sound surged forth, carrying invisible destructive force.

......

The Seven Disciples of the Heavenly Demon began unleashing their most powerful techniques, shedding their earlier hesitation.

This was more like it—this was the true nature of the Heavenly Demon Seven. Su Luo had been thoroughly unimpressed with their performance over the past two days.

Su Luo also prepared to use a powerful technique. Even though they excluded her, she still had to coordinate with the team.

However, the other seven suddenly shifted their attacks, launching a coordinated assault from all directions aimed directly at Su Luo.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Su Luo was struck, and the area around her was engulfed in a cloud of dust.

“Keep going,” Qing Bukuang commanded.

The seven disciples continued their relentless bombardment of Su Luo, attacking with ruthless precision and no mercy.

After a while, they finally stopped.

This entire scene left Lin Xuan utterly stunned.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t worry, your turn will come soon,” Qing Bukuang replied.

For now, they ignored Lin Xuan. Once they dealt with Su Luo, Lin Xuan would be easier to handle. Su Luo was the wildcard, the unpredictable element.

Their priority was to ensure Su Luo’s death—or at least her severe injury.

A black square barrier had protected Su Luo well.

With a wave of her hand, the barrier shattered, and the dust cleared.

She was completely unharmed.

The seven disciples’ expressions turned grim. After such a barrage of attacks, Su Luo was unscathed.

She was truly terrifying. But now, there was no turning back.

Either Su Luo and Lin Xuan would die, or they would.

The only unexpected factor was Su Luo’s formation, which prevented them from calling in reinforcements from outside.

But they still believed they could win.

Su Luo asked, “Why attack me?”

“Of course, we’re attacking you. Did you think you’d get out of this alive?” Situ Ye sneered.

Liao Duci added, “That’s right. Today, both Lin Xuan and you will die!”

Cui Baiquan chimed in, “We’ve had enough of you.”

Su Luo looked at them and finally understood what was going on.

Was I really that annoying? Well, it doesn’t matter. I never needed your approval anyway.

Lin Xuan seized the opportunity to approach Su Luo. “Su Luo, it seems our only chance of survival is to work together. Don’t worry, after we kill them, I won’t turn on you.”

Lin Xuan thought himself incredibly clever, believing this alliance made perfect sense.

“Work together? With you?” Su Luo wondered if she was hearing things. Lin Xuan wanted to cooperate with her?

Hah! Don’t forget we have a history of enmity.

And Lin Xuan, you’re not the type to compromise, even for survival.

“Cooperate with you? Only if I’m dead,” Su Luo flatly refused.

“I get it, I get it. Then let’s fight separately. I’ll take Qing Bukuang, Liao Duci, and Xu Wuliang. You handle the rest, okay?”

“Get out of my way,” Su Luo kicked Lin Xuan aside and addressed the seven disciples. “So, you’re here to kill me?”

Qing Bukuang replied, “Yes. I have to admire your calmness, even now.”

Situ Ye added, “You brought this on yourself. In this formation, where can you run? You’ve dug your own grave.”

“Run? Why would I run?”

Su Luo found this to be the funniest thing she’d heard in a while.

Cui Baiquan taunted, “Stop bluffing. I know you’ve run out of treasures.”

“Come on, then,” Su Luo drew her sword. “If you won’t, I’ll make the first move.”

At her words, everyone tensed.

In the blink of an eye, Su Luo appeared in front of Liao Duci.

“I’ve always thought your poison smelled awful.”

She raised her sword and brought it down, a dark blade shadow engulfing Liao Duci completely.

Liao Duci didn’t even have time to utter a final word before he vanished into nothingness.

“Dead people shouldn’t pollute the environment.”

Liao Duci was dead.

Next.

“Cui Baiquan, I know you have a new technique, but since you didn’t use it earlier, you’ll never get the chance.”

Su Luo kicked Cui Baiquan’s head, shattering it instantly.

Cui Baiquan was dead.

Time for the next one.

Despite Su Luo’s speed, some managed to react under the threat of death.

Shan Gui, seeing Cui Baiquan’s fate, unleashed his ultimate technique.

His stomach split open, revealing a bizarre black vortex.

From the vortex came a deafening, piercing scream, like a wail from the depths of hell.

Lin Xuan felt dizzy and nauseous just from hearing it.

In a battle between experts, a single moment of distraction could be fatal.

But Su Luo was stronger than anyone here.

“Silence.”

With just a single word, Shan Gui’s screams faded away.

Shan Gui continued to shout, but no sound came out. His voice had been stolen.

“You’ve been screaming your whole life. Die quietly.”

Su Luo pointed, and a massive vortex appeared in the air, twisting Shan Gui into fragments.

Shan Gui was dead.

The other disciples wanted to gang up on Su Luo, but she was too fast for them to keep up.

Xu Wuliang could no longer hold back. His arms began to mutate, growing dragon scales that emitted steam.

The transformation made him invincible for a moment, but Su Luo was already in front of him.

“You’re mutating, but why only half-heartedly? What’s the point if you don’t go all the way?”

Xu Wuliang had concentrated all his power into his arms. He unleashed two devastating punches, the force so great that his own body began to crack and bleed.

“Don’t act like you know everything! I wish I could fully mutate, but only my arms can handle it!”

Xu Wuliang roared, sensing his impending death. Even so, he was determined to land these blows.

Su Luo simply raised a hand and effortlessly caught both punches, not budging an inch.

“You’re arguing with me? Hmm... You’re right, your body can’t handle it. Fine, you win this point, but it won’t save you.”

Blue flames suddenly engulfed Xu Wuliang.

In an instant, he was consumed, burned to nothingness. The flames vanished just as quickly.

Xu Wuliang was dead.
