“Victory!”
“Victory!”
Everyone shouted and cheered for Hua Liuhong.
Hua Liuhong took a deep breath and strode out, her aura surging like rolling smoke from her slender figure.
Beneath the Dao Observation Mountain, a battlefield covered in forbidden arrays had emerged. Once one stepped into it, there was no turning back.
“A chick? This one’s too weak, send another!” Xuan Luozi frowned on the battlefield, appearing dissatisfied with his grim expression as he looked down on Hua Liuhong.
The members of the Ziyao Camp were furious. They could see that his scorn was a deliberate attempt to trample on Hua Liuhong’s dignity.
Lin Xun asked with a frown, “Is it possible to admit defeat right away in this contest?”
Shi Yu shook his head. “No. The contestant must fight.”
Lin Xun fell silent.
“Die!”
Hua Liuhong’s face was icy. As soon as she stepped onto the stage, she turned into a shadow that shot at Xuan Luozi.
A godly crimson sword swept out from between her brows with a murderous momentum.
“As I said, you're too weak!”
Xuan Luozi’s gaze was frosty as the electricity shrouding him raged. Like a dazzling rainbow, the bronze spear in his hands swept out and created a terrifying waterfall of lightning cutting through the horizon.
As the intense battle erupted, Hua Liuhong put her life on the line and went all out, using everything she had learned to battle Xuan Luozi.
Even Lin Xun had to admit that her fighting prowess was extraordinary.
Unfortunately, her opponent was even stronger.
Before long, the hearts of the members of the imperial side sank to see that Hua Liuhong was in a worrying situation. She was doing everything to fight for her life, using all her means, but Xuan Luozi appeared very composed, like a cat toying with a mouse.
After over a hundred exchanges, Hua Liuhong also knew that things were not going well for her. She did not hesitate to use her trump card, hoping to drag the opponent to mutual destruction.
“Time to end this!”
Xuan Luozi also used his killing move right at the same time. His spear, wrapped in a horrifying thunderstorm, shot out and crushed even the air in its path, causing heaven and earth to lose all colors. It manifested all sorts of phenomena like stars collapsing and demons howling.
In the deafening collision, a miserable scream rang out. Dust then filled the air, closing the curtains on the duel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were no miracles.
Hua Liuhong was defeated. Her delicate figure was pierced through by Xuan Luozi’s spear and hung in the air, blood pouring from her chest like a waterfall.
“Noooo!” shouted many members of the empire’s camp, their eyes widened in shock and grief.
Hua Liuhong’s eyes were dim as she looked over at them, her lips trembling slightly as if wanting to say something. Unfortunately, she no longer had any strength to say it.
Xuan Luozi’s spear not only shattered her heart, but also turned her soul to ashes.
“When I say that you can’t, you’d better believe it!”
With a sardonic laugh, Xuan Luozi shook his spear. Hua Liuhong’s corpse that was hung on it suddenly exploded into a rain of blood, leaving nothing of her behind.
An outstanding woman with an extremely bright future ahead of her was dead, just like that!
And her death was also incredibly tragic!
No one could forget her dim gaze before she had gone, as if saying goodbye, and as if feeling guilty for not being able to win…
Many people’s eyes reddened as they tightly clenched their fists.
Lin Xun’s eyes were cold and he was silent, but the emotions in his heart were nothing but calm.
He had predicted that this kind of contest would be very bloody and cruel.
But only when he saw with his own eyes a beautiful woman like Hua Liuhong being brutally killed and turned into flesh and blood all over the ground by the enemy, did he truly realize how unpleasant this feeling was!
“This is the Dao Observation Mountain Contest, either you win or you die.” Zhao Xingye’s low voice rang in Lin Xun’s ears.
“According to the rules, after winning the duel, I can stay and continue to fight! Hopefully my next opponent won’t disappoint me like this,” said Xuan Luozi with a grin that flashed his snow-white teeth, but his expression was disdainful and ruthless.
The members of the Ziyao Camp all looked gloomy, and their hearts were seething with fury.
“Is it possible to enter the battlefield out of order?” Lin Xun’s dark eyes were chilling as he could no longer suppress his killing intent. His chest felt stifled to see one of the losers he had defeated back then flaunting like this.
“No. Unless you are strong enough to break the rules, you can only follow it,” sighed Zhao Xingye softly.
“It’s just like before, looking all pretty but is utterly useless.”
“I think it’s better for your empire to withdraw from the contest after this, lest people say that we keep bullying you.”
The members of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races all raised their voices to mock, looking all smug and scornful.
“Those bastards!”
Shi Yu and the others gritted their teeth. Hua Liuhong was not only brutally killed but also humiliated like this after her death. Who could endure this?
“Be at ease, everyone. I will avenge Liuhong!” The second to fight was Song Wuque. In just a single step, he entered the battlefield, causing all gazes to converge on him.
“Brother Song, make sure to kill him!”
“Be careful!”
All of the empire’s members cheered for Song Wuque, hoping that he would win and execute Xuan Luozi to avenge Hua Liuhong.
“I know you. Song Wuque, right? You can actually be considered a formidable character from the empire. I hope you don’t let me down,” said Xuan Luozi coldly as he gripped his spear.
“Xuan Luozi is a kind of sea tortoise, right?” insulted Song Wuque casually.
“Insolent!” Xuan Luozi immediately charged out with a dark expression.
Xuan Luozi and Song Wuque started exchanging blows. Since they were equally matched in battle power, the fight was so fierce that it caused the sky to dim and the sun and moon to lose their light.
The divine aura spreading from the two crushed the void into chaos. Destructive phenomena frequently manifested around them and shook the region.
The expression of the members of both camps gradually became grave. Everyone stopped talking to focus on watching the battle.
This battle was particularly tragic. It wasn’t long before Xuan Luozi and Song Wuque were riddled with bleeding wounds.
However, both of them seemed to not feel pain at all as they kept going with increasingly ruthless moves.
The people of the imperial camp were unable to accept this. Song Wuque was one of their top experts, but he was unable to take down Xuan Luozi easily!
Meanwhile, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races also looked astonished. They probably hadn’t expected that Song Wuque would actually be able to be a match for Xuan Luozi.
Hundreds of exchanges later, Xuan Luozi let out a roar as he took out a turquoise-like jade pillar and ruthlessly smashed it on Song Wuque’s back. The latter coughed up blood and staggered before falling to the ground.
But at the same time, his saber had also torn open Xuan Luozi’s chest, creating a gush of blood.
Both of them suffered heavy injuries in this exchange!
Cries of shock buzzed in the area as the members of both sides tensed up.
“Die!” Song Wuque gritted his teeth and crawled up. With a wave of his sleeve, three razor-sharp spirit knives shot out while forming a 品 formation with their movement.
This was his trump card!
“Impossible!” Xuan Luozi’s face twisted as he swung his spear. Burning every last bit of his energy, he stormed forward.
The two clashed in a deafening explosion. Then, Xuan Luozi’s tattered figure was seen falling on the ground with a heavy thud. From his breathing, it was obvious that he was close to dying.
On another side, Song Wuque coughed up blood and crashed to the ground. He had suffered from severe trauma as his skull seemed to be cracked.
However, no one knew where he suddenly got the strength to struggle back up on his feet and slowly approach Xuan Luozi step by step.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat resolution and ruthlessness in his posture caused the members of the empire’s camp to be both shocked and worried.
Meanwhile, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races’ members were terrified. They shouted, “Xuan Luozi, get up, get up!”
In the end, Xuan Luozi wasn’t able to get up and was beheaded by Song Wuque with one slash. In his final moment, his eyes were wide open, and his face distorted from rage and anguish.
With a plop, Song Wuque fell on his butt with a stark-white face. He coughed out a huge mouthful of blood, but he was relieved as he looked toward the empire’s camp. “I…I won…”
As soon as he finished saything this, he fell flat on the ground.
The duel ended in a gruesome way with Song Wuque executing his opponent, but he himself also fell into a coma due to his serious injuries. Everyone felt their heart spasm with worry, and they were unable to feel happy at all. Instead, their faces were covered in grief, and the rims of their eyes were all red.
They found it hard to accept that someone as powerful as Song Wuque had earned his victory in such a devastating manner.
Lin Xun inwardly sighed, and his eyes grew colder and colder.
In the camp of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, every single one of them also wore an icy expression as the same resentment brooded in their hearts.
“I will settle this score in Xuan Luozi’s stead!” With a thunderous shout, the gigantic Niu Tuntian rushed into the battlefield.
Rippling, glowing dark waves surged around him. His eyes were electric as they spewed out sharp lights. By just standing there casually, he exuded a domineering aura like he was the king of the world.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the field became oppressive.
Lin Xun kept rubbing his thumb on the jade sign in his palm. Written on the upper side was the word ‘six,’ and it filled him with a depressive feeling.
More than he hated to see the opponents being arrogant and vicious, he hated that he didn’t have the chance to step into the battlefield!
This feeling was just too frustrating!
The third from the imperial camp to fight was a man named Chai Wenshan from Qinglu Academy.
Even against Niu Tuntian, he was fearless and took the initiative to attack first while putting all of his power to use.
Unfortunately, Niu Tuntian was too strong, even stronger than Xuan Luozi. Within dozens of exchanges, Chai Wenshan was killed.
His head was smashed by a slap of Niu Tuntian’s hand, after which his body was kicked flying and burst in mid-air.
Amidst the rain of blood, Niu Tuntian’s expression was ruthless as he spat, “Too weak, not even enough to warm me up. Next!”
The members of the empire’s camp clenched their fists as they were suffocated with grief and anger. Seeing their companions being killed was already beyond unbearable and hurtful, so to hear them being humiliated in this way nearly drove everyone insane.
The fourth to fight was a man named Liang Shao. He was a young genius from the military department of the Ziyao Empire and had been keeping an unusually low profile.
However, the moment he stepped onto the stage, he exploded with amazing power.
Regretfully, he was forced into a perilous situation after more than a hundred moves. His tragic defeat was foreseeable.
But unexpectedly, in this desperate situation, Liang Shao performed a self-detonation secret technique and blew himself up to heavily injure Niu Tantian!
“I wish to fight with you all again in the next life, and together we will drink the enemy’s blood with a smile!”
This was Liang Shao’s final word, said with a resounding laugh before his death, resolute and fearless!
