Chapter 570 Were You Sure You Didn’t Need to Call a Helper?
After killing w.a.n.g Fa, Shen Nan’s expression did not change. He stood on the ring, waiting for w.a.n.g Fa’s body to automatically fall into the abyss under the ring. He said indifferently, “I, Shen Nan, from Lingchen Sect, take the challenge.”
As soon as he said that, there was silent all around.
All the pract.i.tioners who were also in the late stage of Huashen Realm chose to be silent. Although there must be a winner in the Tianjiao Battle, killing each other terribly on the worst 33rd Immortal Layer was extremely stupid undoubtedly!
“If n.o.body answers, an opponent will be arranged randomly after three breaths.”
The awareness sound of the Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao Battle was transmitted into the awareness sea of all people, but few people were surprised. Since the Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao Battle was born to train disciples, it would not allow anyone to win too easily.
However, for the real talents, such an arrangement wasted a little bit time at most.
Next, the pract.i.tioners with disparate levels of cultivation were arranged to come to the ring. At the beginning, there were a few pract.i.tioners who had the fluke mind coming onto the ring. After they were killed by Shen Nan, the other pract.i.tioners finally recognized that they couldn’t defeat Shen Nan. All of them were disheartened. They gave in as fast as possible and then were sent back to their original Immortal Layer.
In the Tianjiao Battle, losing a game was not a big deal except for death, and as long as someone could defeat ten pract.i.tioners in a row, then he could be promoted.
But for most pract.i.tioners, losing meant the end.
If they escaped with bare lives in the lower Immortal Layer, they would court death after being promoted.
“Number seven, 644446, Sun Delai.”
“I surrender!”
“Number eight, 64…”
“I surrender!”
“Number nine…”
“I surrender!”
After four or five pract.i.tioners surrendered in a row, Shen Nan only had to deal with the last game before being promoted.
“Number ten, 645590, Su Jiuzhou!”
Then a force of teleporting hit Su Li. She was directly teleported to the ring by the Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao Battle.
The pract.i.tioners saw that it was a female pract.i.tioner who was only in the Yuanying Realm, and then they turned their eyes back without interest in watching her.
Shen Nan looked at Su Li for a moment. He frowned and transmitted his sound, “Don’t you surrender?”
Su Li continued to be silent.
Shen Nan hesitated when he saw Su Li, but he didn’t take action. Instead, he continued to transmit to persuade her, “Cultivation is not easy. You are so young and don’t have to hold to it.”
Su Li curled her lips when she heard his words. She withdrew the thought of directly killing him and asked with interest, “Fellow Pract.i.tioner, you are cruel in fighting. But why are you soft-hearted when you see me? I am a little curious about it.”
Shen Nan snorted coldly after hearing her question, “If you want me to kill you, I will be glad to do that.”
An inexplicable smile appeared on Su Li’s face, and suddenly, she moved on to another topic, “Fellow Pract.i.tioner Shen, does Lingchen Sect belong to Sihe Region?”
Shen Nan nodded patiently and then asked in a deep voice, “What do you want to ask?”
Su Li gave him a meaningful smile and said softly, “I surrender… We will meet soon.”
“What?”
Shen Nan watched Su Li being repelled out of the ring. Then she returned to the original place. Before he could ask a question, a beam of light was shot down onto the ring. In the blink of an eye, he was sucked into the upper Immortal Layer and disappeared.
At the same time, in the Image Hall, the scene that Su Li surrendered did not attract the attention of the crowed except the two of them.
Xuan An and Huo s.h.i.+chun stared blankly at the Fenguang Stone Images of the 33rd Immortal Layer, and they were bewildered.
“Surrender?”
“What is Sister thinking about?”
Huo s.h.i.+chun was speechless. After keeping his words all within for a while, he speculated, “Maybe Lord has her plans, right?”
…
“Sihe Region…”
In the Mysterious Realm, Su Li watched the light beam disappear, and her eyes flickered.
Jiuzhou Region was too special. It had been under the surveillance of various holy sects for many years. Its quality disciples had been poached early. Yan Ziye and the others were the mainstays. If she wanted to strengthen Ni Sect, adding new blood to the sect would be indispensable. So, the nearby Sihe Region was a good choice.
Of course, she had a slight affection for Sihe Region, just because of Shen Nan’s performance. If the plan was to be implemented, it would need to be further deliberated inevitably.
“Since one person was promoted, here is a blessing for all people in the 33rd Immortal Layer. 645590, fight or not?”
“Fight.”
Su Li replied casually, when the sound of awareness came. She glanced at the mountains where the people around quickly disappeared. The team that was close to 20,000 people originally had no more than 3,000 people in an instant.
Su Li was a little surprised. Such a spectacle would only appear on the 33rd Immortal Layer.
She narrowed her eyes. After this round, she was the only one in Yuanying Realm, so she could hide her cultivation with All Spirits Tactics.
But she didn’t.
This time, in the Tianjiao Battle… she would take the initiative to get even with the holy sects. Naturally, a higher profile was better!
When other pract.i.tioners saw her stay, many of them sneered.
“She is so eager to court death!”
“Stupid female pract.i.tioner!”
“Probably, because of some adventures, her courage boosted. She doesn’t know there are countless powerhouses.”
“Tsk-tsk! It’s rare to meet a chick. But it is a pity that here is the Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao Battle, and she might die without leaving any body tissue after a while.”
…
“The next champion, Zhao Liang.”
Before the sound ended, there was a stream of light jetting into the ring. After the light dissipated, a young man with a gloomy face came into view.
Another pract.i.tioner in the late stage of Huashen Realm!
Everyone sighed lightly.
“Zhao Liang is one of the inherited disciples of the Xue Cult in Ghost Region. He uses extremely cruel methods and has a habit of cruelly killing his enemies. Compared with him, Shen Nan is soft-hearted. So, it is better for the selected pract.i.tioner to surrender early!”
A kind pract.i.tioner transmitted this reminder to Su Li, and she actually received it. She looked in the direction of the sound source, and then saw a strapping pract.i.tioner in a yellow robe nod to her kindly. His cultivation was also in the middle stage of Huashen Realm.
“The Tianjiao Battle is fierce. Fellow Pract.i.tioner Su, you have escaped once, and this time you really shouldn’t stay.”
The yellow-robed pract.i.tioner sighed.
Su Li replied with a gentle smile.
The yellow-robed pract.i.tioner shook his head slightly when he saw her smile. He could only hope that this woman could make it to the end of this round.
“Number one to challenge, 640987, Yao s.h.i.+chuan.”
The awareness of Mysterious Realm uttered, and the yellow-robed pract.i.tioner stopped shaking his head instantly. He was too frightened to move. The next moment, he was teleported to the ring.
“Ha-ha, it’s you.”
With fierce eyes, Zhao Liang smiled and walked closer to Yao s.h.i.+chuan slowly, “Do you really think that I can’t hear you gossip?”
Su Li frowned slightly, but did not move.
Yao s.h.i.+chuan was really nervous. He stepped back and shouted loudly, “I…”
Snap!
A slap came over him out of thin air, and this huge force stopped him from speaking. His blood and several teeth fell on the ground.
“Surrender? That’s boring. I just started to enjoy it. How dare you!”
Zhao Liang was still approaching slowly. His murderous intent skyrocketed in his eyes.
Yao s.h.i.+chuan only felt cold all over, as if he was being watched by a poisonous snake. He gritted his teeth and said, “Fellow Pract.i.tioner Zhao! Ghost Valley has always been dedicated to medicine, and we never had enemies. This time I came here just to maintain the survival of our sect. Why are you so aggressive?!”
“Never having enemies?”
Zhao Liang widened his eyes, and then he burst into laughter. His frantic laughter echoed in the entire s.p.a.ce, “You are still so naive in the cultivation circle that you are not wronged to be killed!”
As he spoke, Zhao Liang flickered his sleeve, and a blood-colored skull rushed out from it. The gloomy and terrifying pneuma instantly filled the ring.
A blood light disappeared in a flash.
Yao s.h.i.+chuan felt cold on his scalp. His hair bun fell to the ground, and his neat hair disheveled.
“You…push me too far!”
Yao s.h.i.+chuan’s eyes were red. As he made finger gestures, the vague shadow of a medicine quadripod appeared in front of him. “You can kill me, but you can’t insult me!”
An extremely fierce battle broke out in the ring, but everyone with discerning eyes knew that Zhao Liang didn’t attack deadly. What he liked best was to slowly torture his opponent to death.
“Yao s.h.i.+chuan is done.”
Someone shook his head. Although Yao s.h.i.+chuan had been showing his goodwill and building good relations.h.i.+ps with others, few people were willing to offend Zhao Liang, who was extremely ruthless.
Moreover, if someone intervened in the battle and won this round, the next constant ten rounds would be waiting for him. He should defeat two enemies with doubled efforts!
“My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. Fellow Pract.i.tioner Yao…”
Someone’s complexion changed, but in the end, he sighed and chose to stand by.
Yao s.h.i.+chuan was in despair. He did know that Zhao Liang was playing with prey, but he couldn’t even surrender.
“Master, I shamed you!”
When everyone thought that Yao s.h.i.+chuan was definitely to die, an indifferent but pleasant female voice came from a lonely mountain in the distance.
“Are you Zhao Liang? I will challenge you.”
As soon as she said that, everyone was stunned. They immediately looked at the source of the voice. At this moment, everyone was surprised and confused, and they didn’t know what to say for a while.
The awareness of Tianjiao Battle didn’t care about one’s cultivation. If someone intervened, the ring would be immediately divided, and the battle stopped.
“It’s her!”
Watching Su Li enter the ring in astonishment, Yao s.h.i.+chuan immediately became angry.
“You… What are you doing here?! It doesn’t matter if I die. But you don’t need to do this for me.”
“Die?”
Su Li tilted her head and revealed a smile that dazzled Yao s.h.i.+chuan, “Just these fools and losers could not hurt me. But you are from Ghost Valley… Which Ghost Valley?”
“I…”
Yao s.h.i.+chuan was stunned. Before he spoke, he saw the barrier in the middle of the ring disappear. Zhao Liang’s hideous face reappeared, and he smiled weirdly, “Yo, Yao s.h.i.+chuan, you have a mistress. It must be more enjoyable to kill this white and tender beauty.”
Yao s.h.i.+chuan returned to his senses and said seriously, “Let her go. Why bother to hurt the innocent.”
“A waste has the face to make demands? You and your mistress will die together!”
Zhao Liang grinned hideously and sent out two blood-colored skulls at random, which were shooting at Su Li’s hair!
Yao s.h.i.+chuan was about to stop him when he saw this, but his reaction was slower than that of Zhao Liang after all. He could only watch that happen.
Many pract.i.tioners could not bear to see that. They turned their heads.
Boom!!
With a shocking explosion, the blood-colored skulls were blown to pieces for no apparent reason.
Su Li turned her head with a gentle smile, “Are you sure you don’t need to call a helper?”
