Absolute Choice 6

"Should I be a bit more magnanimous...?"
Kali bit on her lower lip and gently sighed.
Suddenly, Kali's eyebrows pricked up slightly. With a light wave of her hand, the scene in the screen of light switched. The ugly youth in a black robe appeared on the screen.
At this moment, the ugly youth was a few hundred meters away from Shi Xiaobai.
"Oh? What a strong demonic presence?"
Kali hurriedly stretched out her hand to tap on the screen. A beam of light penetrated the screen and arrived in the world where the ugly youth was. When the ugly youth was enveloped by the light, his body seemed to burn up as he screamed in pain while rolling constantly on the ground.
But at the same time, the world where the ugly youth was began stirring, as though the entire world was going to shatter.
Kali frowned and retracted her finger. The beam of light returned to her finger and the world finally fell silent. The ugly youth lay on ground, breathing in fear, like a wounded animal.
"Self-destruct sequence." Kali sighed helplessly.
The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower’s assessment program limited the strength of the trial-takers. If any force that exceeded the Psionic Mortal Realm entered the world, it would begin its self-destruct sequence in order to protect its heritage items.
Humans naturally lacked the ability to forcibly enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, but Kali could do it. However, if she were to forcibly enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, a self-destruct sequence would be activated, something that even she could not stop.
Having forcibly injected a bit of her power, the assessment program had immediately taken actions to self-destruct.
"Sigh, looks like even if I wish to, I can no longer tolerate it." Kali sighed. Shi Xiaobai's body was presently in a dire condition. She could restrain herself from destroying Sen Senyuan immediately, because of the danger Shi Xiaobai had always encountered, Sen Senyuan was not even considered a drizzle.
However, if the black-robed youth were to appear, Shi Xiaobai would definitely pay an immense price in order to successfully escape danger. Therefore, Kali could not help but interject. She wanted to destroy this danger before it arrived in a way Shi Xiaobai would never know.
But from the looks of it, if she were to destroy the black-robed youth, the entire Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower would be destroyed. Although Kali did not mind a mere assessment program, nor did she care about the lives of those rookies, she did not want to forcibly change Shi Xiaobai's life trajectory because of her destruction of this selection.
She could be a spectator that witnessed the life of Shi Xiaobai, but she could not use her powers to change the trajectory of his life.
This was a karmic process. If she were to forcible provide a reason for cause, the fruits of suffering from the final effect would be born by Shi Xiaobai.
Kali began feeling concerned. The trial appeared to be almost beyond her control.
Suddenly, Kali felt something jump in her heart. She stretched out her hand and waved across the screen of light. The scene inside it changed, as a figure shrouded in black light appeared!
It was a tiny black-lit person that was reduced to a third the size of an ordinary human. The tiny black-lit person was floating in a particular world while constantly devouring everything around it. Suddenly, the tiny black-lit person stopped and opened its mouth, tearing a rift in space in front of it. Its entire being went through it as it moved through chaotic spatial tunnels at a very fast speed!
"Oh? Gluttony has finally began to make a move? Did it sense the existence of other Deadly Sins? Or could it be that it has finally discovered the Original Sin of Calamity?"
Kali was wondering in her mind as her eyes began to light up. She had not killed Gluttony because she was waiting for it to act, in a bid to catch a bigger fish.
Kali carefully observed Gluttony's direction when her pupils suddenly contracted slightly.
She was appalled to discover that the spatial trajectory Gluttony was taking was towards the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower where the rookies were!
"A coincidence?"
Kali muttered to herself, "Or could it be...that a particular Deadly Sin or the Original Sin of Calamity itself is in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower?"
...
...
Fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower
The person who appeared to teleport into the venue was a girl with short brown hair. To most rookies, this girl was very unfamiliar, but the way she appeared was shocking.
"That was fast. Did you see how she appeared?"
"Was it my imagination? Why did I seem to see a lightning flash?"
"Who is she? With such terrifying speed, it can't be that she isn't famous at all, right?"
"Short, brown hair...never heard of it. Sigh, why are there so many dark horses for this selection?""
"..."
Most of the rookies did not know the brown-haired girl, but Shi Xiaobai and Sunless were extremely familiar with her.
The person was none other than Mu Yuesheng.
Mu Yuesheng said extremely apologetically, "Sorry, came late."
Shi Xiaobai grinned and said, "It's fine, coming in time is better than coming early."
Mu Yuesheng's timing was indeed perfect. With the present physical condition he and Sunless was in, it was indeed tough for them to simultaneously resist three people who were on the level of super-rookies.
The situation had become three-on-three!
Sen Senyuan's expression that had just recovered turned gloomy immediately.
At this moment, a youth dressed in Daoist attire walked out of the crowd. With a whisk in hand, he looked at An Mo and said, "Young Master Mo, it appears we are destined to fight. And just nice, I also owe Tu Dahei a favor!"
While defending the city, the Tree of Life had been in danger. Shi Xiaobai could have easily been the first to clear the second level, but he had spent 500 points to cure the Tree of Life. Back then, the Daoist-attired Liu Yu was in City #1.
There was an instantaneous reversal of the situation. It became four against three! Sen Senyuan's brows frowned deeply.
At this moment, Pulp Farmer suddenly said loudly, "Young master, I can't stop you because the moment I make any moves against you, my family clan would be regarded as traitors by the Sen family. My father and grandfather's loyalty and hard work from all their lives would be destroyed through my hands. I cannot be this unfilial. But it does not mean I would be fully obedient to your commands. Your actions have already disgraced the Sen family. Your command is wrong, so I can never listen to it."
When Pulp Farmer said this, he turned around and retreated into the crowd. He had expressed his attitude!
The situation immediately turned to four against two. Blue veins began protruding on Sen Senyuan's neck.
An Mo looked at Sen Senyuan and said with a shrug, "Young master Sen, it appears I temporarily will not be able to return the favor I owe you, because...the favor I owe Liu Yu can never be returned! Even this seventh ranking on the official forecast was a result of Liu Yu's uplifting of me with his boast. How can I attack him?"
When An Mo said this, he walked over to Liu Yu with a smile. Liu Yu nodded in satisfaction, giving him an expression of 'you did well'!
The situation instantly became four against one! Sen Senyuan's expression was as ugly as it could be!
At the same time, Feng Yuanlin, who was amid the crowd, suddenly pinched his throat and shouted, "You want to touch our Goddess Sunless, then first step over our corpses!"
Immediately there were someone who understood the meaning as he quickly echoed, "Right, we can't let this darn retard who only knows how to snipe get away!"
Everyone hurriedly echoed.
"How can so many of us be afraid of a single person?"
"Destroy Sen Senyuan!"
"This time, I'm standing on the side of justice!"
"..."<
br />
The drama of how monkeys dispersed when the tree falls unfolded. The situation was completely reversed, becoming a crowd against a single person.
Sen Senyuan immediately felt as grossed out as eating a fly. He cursed in his heart.
What a bunch of idiots. Have they fucking forgotten that they were gathered here to 'kill' Sunless?
He felt infuriated and instantly lost his mind.
"All of you deserve death!"
Sen Senyuan roared and prepared to use his strongest attack. After using this attack, the entire region would be reduced to ruins, and he too would pay a heavy price.
However, Sen Senyuan no longer cared. He felt like he had been utterly humiliated. His anger had made him lose his reason!
At this moment, an angry bellow was heard, instantly awakening Sen Senyuan.
"This King has tolerated you for long enough!"
Sen Senyuan turned his head in horror as he saw Tu Dahei had burst up into the sky and come to his side!
The black sword was slashing at him with furious sword intent!

Chapter293 This King will follow shortly
Tu Dahei's sudden appearance beside Sen Senyuan truly gave him a scare. Although his fury had made him lose his mind, his eyes were still sharp. His gaze was constantly fixated on Tu Dahei and Sunless.
But in a blink of an eye, Tu Dahei had suddenly gone from a distance of more than a thousand meters away to appearing in the air about ten meters from where he was.
What had just happened?
Did Tu Dahei know how to teleport!?
The rookies who were also watching Tu Dahei had seen the entire process, but they were more shocked than Sen Senyuan!
This was because they saw Tu Dahei retrieve a pair of icy-blue shoes from the brown-haired girl's chest. As he quickly wore them, he burst forward like an electric bolt. Following behind him were electric bolts that seemed to boost Tu Dahei up into the air. In the time it took to blink, he had rushed beside Sen Senyuan, high in the air!
With the black sword held horizontally with respect to the ground, the sunlight illuminated an icy-cold sheen as sword beams filled with Shi Xiaobai's wrath surged brazenly. At the moment the situation underwent a reversal, Shi Xiaobai finally could not tolerate any further and began his counter attack!
"This King has tolerated you for long enough!"
Shi Xiaobai roared as he slashed out!
With his Sword Truth activated, his strongest Beginner Sword seemed to be tearing the space itself by sheer force.
Sen Senyuan could not retreat in time. With a roar, he forcefully conjured a psionic shield!
"Boom!"
The psionic shield was no match for the power of the strike as Sen Senyuan was sent flying. His body shot through the air like a cannonball before slamming into the ground with an explosive boom.
The ground cratered as dust flew into the sky. Sen Senyuan lay limp like a dead dog in the crater as he spat a mouthful of blood. His eyes looked slightly glazed.
Shi Xiaobai landed and sneered before slowly walking towards Sen Senyuan.
Everyone turned silent. Tu Dahei's counterattack was too sudden and powerful. Even they who had seen the entire process were stunned, much less Sen Senyuan being able to react in time.
How was Tu Dahei so powerful?
Sen Senyuan was seriously wounded with a single strike. As a person who was rarely injured, he had fallen into a trance due to the pain, but when he heard the footsteps, he suddenly felt fear and was instantly woken up.
Sen Senyuan struggled to get up as he hurriedly turned around and escaped!
He was the imposing and mighty young master of the Sen family. He always stood far away or somewhere high to kill his enemies. Once the distance was closed, his combat strength would plummet.
Therefore, he wanted to escape. He needed to escape far away and summon the firearms that filled the sky. He would then use his most powerful move and tear the bastard Tu Dahei, who had injured him, to pieces. He wanted to blow all the rookies who had seen his pathetic state to pieces!
Huff, puff, huff...
Sen Senyuan ran like mad as the pain he felt made him angrier. He vowed to make Tu Dahei pay a painful price!
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, Sen Senyuan heard the sizzling sounds of electric currents. An icy-blue bolt flashed as Tu Dahei instantly appeared in front of him.
"Want to run?"
The sarcastic sneer pushed Sen Senyuan's anger to the limits. At the same time, he realized that he could not escape this time.
Sen Senyuan's eyes flashed a glimmer of hysteria. A purplish-gold pistol appeared in his right hand. Just as he wanted to grab it, a sword beam came slashing over. Sen Senyuan alarmed retracted his hand as the purplish-gold pistol was split into two!
"No!"
Sen Senyuan stared with his eyes opened widely. This purplish-gold pistol was an extremely precious treasure even to the Sen family.
It was destroyed just like that?
"You deserve death!"
Sen Senyuan gritted his teeth as yellow halos appeared behind him and priceless firearms emerged.
However, before Sen Senyuan could control the firearms to shoot out the deluge of bullets, the sound of sizzling electric currents was heard. It brushed past his shoulder with a gust of wind.
Following that, successive sounds of metal being broken were immediately heard from behind him.
Sen Senyuan turned his head aghast, but he saw Tu Dahei darting through the air like lightning. Sword beams flew in every direction, shattering all the valuable firearms!
In a few seconds, all the firearms were shattered!
Sen Senyuan's expression immediately turned pale as his lips trembled violently. This was the first time he felt that he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have.
Shi Xiaobai turned his body indifferently and slashed at Sen Senyuan with a stupendous speed!
"It's over!"
With a flash of a sword beam, the sword slashed down on the Life Epaulette above Sen Senyuan's shoulder!
"No!"
Sen Senyuan stared with widened eyes as he tried to slant his body and use Psionic Hardening at the same time, while a steel-like color suffused his right hand!
"Clang!"
Sen Senyuan successfully dodged the strike. The sword beam failed to shatter the epaulette on his shoulder, but due to him desperately turning to the side, it had struck his arm!
"Ah!"
Sen Senyuan cried out. With his average defense, there was no way he could withstand that strike. His right arm was severed from the middle!
As blood spewed out, half his arm fell to the ground.
Sen Senyuan screamed as his eyes were filled with killing intent. As his left hand covered his stump, he screamed in a low tone, "Tu Dahei, you deserve death! You will be subject to the Sen family's incessant pursuit. I will make you die without a proper burial ground!"
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly. His strike was only targeted at Sen Senyuan's epaulette. Although he was loathsome, Shi Xiaobai would not have gone as far as directly threatening his life. However, in order to protect his epaulette, Sen Senyuan in his panic had used his arm to receive the strike!
The outcome of his arm being chopped off was all because he asked for it!
Upon hearing the killing intent in Sen Senyuan's words, Shi Xiaobai's eyes gradually turned cold. Although he was a kind and decent person, he was not a silly goody two shoes.
But at this moment, Shi Xiaobai suddenly felt an intense sense of danger.
He turned his head and saw a black-robed youth holding a bloody sickle suddenly appearing far in the distance. The youth was heading straight for Sunless at an extremely fast speed!
Shi Xiaobai's pupils contracted slightly. His intuition told him that the black-robed youth was very, very dangerous!
He was after Sunless!
Sunless was in grave danger!
When Shi Xiaobai realized this, he no longer had the mind to bother with Sen Senyuan. Immediately, he rubbed the skating shoes and charged straight at Sunless!
The black-robed youth came too suddenly, and his speed was ridiculously fast. Everyone had their attention focused at Shi Xiaobai and Sen Senyuan, and by the time they reacted, the black-robed youth was already in front of Sunless!
The bloody sickle slashed down at Sunless!
No one could help stop this strike but Sunless herself. She bit her lower lip and slashed out with her sword while enduring the injuries of her body!
Shi Xiaobai, who had foreseen the danger, had already taken action. With the speed of Lightning Flashstep, he had arrived beside Sunless at the most critical moment!
Shi Xiaobai slashed out at the crimson sickle at almost the same time as Sunless!
A black and white combination, swords in unison!
"Boom!"
The black and white swords clashed with the crimson sickle. The heavily injured Sunless and Shi Xiaobai, who had hurriedly slashed out, could not put up a fight. After half a second of deadlock, the duo was sent flying back!
Shi Xiaobai frowned. At the moment of him flying back, he directed force towards the back and with even faster speed, came behind Sunless, grabbing her from behind.
"Boom!"
The duo opened up a deep ravine in the ground. Shi Xiaobai was beneath Sunless, so his back tore through the ground for dozens of meters. As for Sunless, who had been placed in front of Shi Xiaobai, she was not stained even by the dust.
Sunless exclaimed as she turned her head to look. Her eyes flashed a look of pain.
"Kill."
The black-robed youth growled. He did not stop and continued rushing towards the fallen duo.
At this moment, the others finally reacted. They were alarmed by the black-robed youth's terror, but the few people who were nearest charged at the black-robed youth without any hesitation!
The black-robed youth raised his sickle and spun it once. A gust of wind filled with the smell of blood blew as Mu Yuesheng, Pulp Farmer, An Mo, and Liu Yu surrounded the black-robed youth. When they bumped into the blood-red hurricane, they were powerless to resist and were sent flying.
