Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 280 Semifinals (6)

Gu Shijiu didn't react to those words; she didn't understand the king's meaning at all.

Seeing that she did not react, the king snorted coldly, and suddenly the entire garden space began to distort and deform.

Black spatial rifts appeared out of thin air around Gu Shijiu, attempting to devour her.

Gu Shijiu hurriedly retreated, trying to avoid it, but the cracks kept appearing around her like maggots clinging to her bones.

Fortunately, she reacted extremely quickly, leaping and rolling nimbly to skillfully avoid most of the spatial rift attacks.

But a crack still grazed her arm, leaving a deep wound, and blood immediately stained her sleeve.

"Huh? This power—"

Gu Shijiu muttered to himself, feeling that the aura emanating from the crack did not resemble the magic used by the Queen, but rather was similar to the NPC in the haunted house from the previous level.

Just then, the king launched another attack.

With a wave of his hands, countless fragments of space shot towards Gu Shijiu like sharp blades.

Gu Shijiu tried to approach him, but because the number of spatial fragments was increasing and the frequency of attacks was getting faster and faster, she was unable to succeed at all.

She could only brace herself against the spatial fragments around her and rush forward during the intervals between the king's attacks.

After several attempts, he finally stood within reach of the king.

However, the moment she approached the king, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Foolish human, do you think you can get close to me like this?"

After the king finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared behind Gu Shijiu.

Gu Shijiu was startled and quickly turned around, attempting to attack the king.

But the king was faster. With a wave of his hand, a powerful spatial force struck Gu Shijiu, sending her flying.

Gu Shijiu fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

Her body was covered in wounds, and blood kept flowing from them, staining the ground red.

"Hahaha, human, is this all you've got?" The king laughed triumphantly as he looked at Gu Shijiu's disheveled appearance. "Today I'll show you that the power of dark creatures is something you can't contend with!"

Gu Shijiu struggled to get up from the ground.

She had never suffered such a serious injury since coming to the Immortal Realm. Although it was in the script, the pain was real.

"Prepare to die!" The king's voice sounded both cold and cruel.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black energy beams shot out from his hands, like black venomous snakes, rushing swiftly towards Gu Shijiu.

Gu Shijiu's speed had become sluggish due to her previous injuries, and her reaction speed was also much slower than before.

But when she encountered the accident, a force suddenly gathered within her body, enabling her to immediately jump away from the spot.

Because she dodged in time, most of the beams hit the ground, but a few still grazed her body, leaving charred marks.

"Huh? I didn't expect your physique to be so robust." The king's expression was rather unpleasant.

Just as the next attack was about to begin, Gu Shijiu suddenly closed her eyes.

Just now, she suddenly grasped a strange state, as if she could sense the changes in the aura of the surrounding environment.

Gu Shijiu simply closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and gradually immersed herself in the world, eliminating all external distractions.

At first, she only felt darkness and chaos, the oppressive feeling brought by the king's powerful dark power.

But she did not give up and continued to explore. Finally, she sensed a faint fluctuation of energy.

As she continued to work hard, the fluctuation of that aura became clearer and clearer.

She could sense the flow of energy in the surrounding space, as well as the subtle changes in the king's aura before each attack.

Gu Shijiu sensed the opponent's intention and direction of attack, and reacted in advance, dodging several attacks.

The king was somewhat surprised to see that his attack had missed.

He hadn't expected that Gu Shijiu, despite being so severely injured, would still be able to dodge his attacks.

But he did not back down; instead, he became even angrier and intensified his attack.

In the time that followed, the king launched a series of attacks, and various dark energies filled the garden.

However, Gu Shijiu always managed to sense the approaching attack in advance and skillfully dodge it.

Gradually, the king's attacks became somewhat impatient, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face.

He realized that the human woman in front of him was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.

During yet another attack, the king momentarily lost focus, creating a slight opening.

Gu Shijiu instinctively seized this excellent opportunity and grabbed his arm.

"What?" The king's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

He hadn't expected that Gu Shijiu would be able to break through his defenses and grab his arm.

The king tried to break free, but Gu Shijiu's hand gripped him tightly like an iron clamp, making him unable to move.

Once someone is captured, Gu Shijiu's Devouring Starry Sky skill will automatically activate.

A powerful suction force emanated from her hand, like a giant black hole, continuously drawing away the king's power.

The king stared in horror as he felt his strength rapidly draining away and his body growing weaker and weaker.

"No! You can't do this!" He struggled frantically, trying to break free from Gu Shijiu's control, but all in vain.

As the power of the Devouring Star continued to operate, the king's body began to become transparent, and his power was almost completely drained.

Finally, with a painful scream, his body completely disappeared, forcing him to withdraw from the competition.

Gu Shijiu breathed a sigh of relief. Her body was so weak from overexertion that she almost fell to the ground again.

After resting for a while, she endured the pain in her body, stood up, and walked towards the garden exit.

After Gu Shijiu left, everything in the garden gradually returned to calm, as if the fierce battle had never happened.

After struggling to climb onto the carriage, Gu Shijiu was panting heavily.

Off the field, this battle quickly became a trending topic on Weibo.

Because in the past, humans have always been at a disadvantage in battles against dark creatures.

Although the Celestial Realm is well-governed and has strict laws, and even dark creatures must abide by the law, there will always be times when the two sides exchange "technical" information.

For example, various martial arts competitions or magical arts contests.

Gu Shijiu's profession is not one that excels in combat, yet she managed to defeat a powerful, high-level dark creature that possesses spatial abilities.

Although the script may limit power, it is already a consensus in the immortal realm that dark creatures are invincible at the same level.

"How did she do that?" Many people are wondering.

Gu Shijiu was unaware of all this; she was currently contemplating how to deal with the rather unpleasant, cheap husband she had encountered along the way.

"My dear Mary, do you know that another maid in the house has died?"

The man lifted the curtain of the carriage and told Gu Shijiu the unfortunate news. His voice was somewhat sinister, and he tried to see fear or terror on her face.
