Chapter 254 : Chapter 254
Chapter 254: One Against Ten!
【You looked at Shi Hao not far away in disappointment, your eyes filled with disappointment.】
【You did not know whether you had underestimated your own strength or overestimated his. In this battle, after only one move, you already knew the true level of his strength.】
【When Shi Hao saw that he had been humiliated by a piece of trash at the Early Immortal Realm, his eyes filled with anger.】
【Shi Hao heard the mocking laughter coming from the surroundings, and his expression became uglier. Immediately afterward, he used some kind of Secret Art, causing his aura to surge by another level.】
【Looking at Shi Hao before you, you seemed to lose interest completely, and you no longer intended to continue entangling with him.】
【This time, you used seventy percent of your strength and slashed out a stream of Taixu Sword Intent.】
【After this move, Shi Hao lay motionless on the ground. If no one deliberately checked, they would almost be unable to sense his aura.】
【When the others saw this scene, they all drew in sharp breaths, inwardly sighing at your strength.】
【After Shi Hao fell, you did not even spare him a glance and walked toward the ninth-ranked arena.】
【When you stepped onto the ninth-ranked arena, the man on the arena had an ugly expression, but he still forced himself to speak.】
【“Do you think I am trash like Shi Hao?”】
【“You will regret stepping onto this arena!”】
【You paid no attention to his words and looked calmly at the person opposite you.】
【...】
【Not long afterward, you stepped onto the first-ranked arena without a scratch on you.】
【After stepping onto the arena, you turned around and spoke to everyone below.】
【“The Great Dream Immortal Sect is a fair sect. The rewards from the martial competition should not be monopolized. Now, anyone with the ability may compete for a ranking!”】
【You had severely injured the champions of the nine great arenas one after another. You had not killed them. Firstly, it was because the Immortal Sect did not allow disciples to slaughter one another. Secondly, it was because you wanted to leave them without the power to resist, allowing others to seize the arenas.】
【As your voice fell, the crowd below the arenas burst into cheers. Then, as if they had gone mad, they rushed onto the arenas and began fighting for the rankings.】
【On the first-ranked arena, Murong Kong looked at you with an icy gaze. He had not expected your strength to be so great. After challenging nine of them in a row, you were still uninjured.】
【At this moment, Murong Kong felt somewhat uncertain. He did not know whether you had already displayed your full strength, or whether what he had just seen was still only the surface.】
【However, Murong Kong also knew that at this moment, he no longer had any room to retreat. He could only fight you.】
【“Die!”】
【Murong Kong’s eyes focused, and he charged toward you.】
【Looking at Murong Kong as he charged over with a fierce momentum, you unhurriedly took out the Taixu Immortal Sword and blocked his attacks.】
【After several exchanges, Murong Kong appeared relaxed on the surface, but in truth, his heart was already filled with shock.】
【Over these few exchanges, he had practically used all of his strength and Divine Powers, yet all of his attacks had been easily neutralized by you.】
【Even though Murong Kong still had some trump cards he had not used, he himself knew very well that even if he used those trump cards, he might not be able to defeat you.】
【After a brief silence, Murong Kong suddenly spoke.】
【“I admit that you are very strong. You are the strongest person at the Early Immortal Realm I have ever seen. In fact, once you break through to my realm, you could be called the strongest beneath the Earth Immortal Realm.”】
【“However, if you can withstand my next Divine Power, then this battle will count as your victory.”】
【The reason Murong Kong said this was only to give himself a dignified way to lose. He had his own pride and did not want to end up like the previous nine people.】
【You looked at the spirited Murong Kong before you and paused for a moment.】
【“Fine! But you are not allowed to reach toward the other nine arenas!”】
【“Good!”】
【For a moment, the people on the other nine great arenas seemed to have reached an agreement. They all stopped fighting at the same time and looked toward the arena where you were.】
【Murong Kong closed his eyes tightly, and a profound, mysterious aura spread from within his body to the outside.】
【Murong Kong slowly floated into the air, and terrifying Sword Intent radiated from around him.】
【“A sword cultivator?”】
【After sensing Murong Kong’s terrifying Sword Intent, your heart relaxed.】
【On the path of the Sword Dao, you believed that you were the strongest existence in the same realm.】
【“Startling Swan!”】
【The Sword Qi around Murong Kong transformed into a giant dragon and attacked you.】
【Seeing that Murong Kong had already used his trump card, you also intended to use your own Divine Power—Heavenslaying.】
【“Heavenslaying!”】
【You did not care about Murong Kong’s Divine Power at all. The reason you used Heavenslaying was because you wanted him to know just how great the gap between you was.】
【The fully mastered Heavenslaying surged with the momentum of a dragon. In an instant, it swallowed Murong Kong’s Startling Swan and rushed toward him.】
【“Not good!”】
【When Murong Kong saw this situation, his expression changed drastically.】
【From the momentum of this move, he knew that if he were struck by it, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.】
【Murong Kong wanted to flee, but after being locked onto by Heavenslaying, he could not avoid this move at all.】
【Fortunately, at the critical moment, you withdrew Heavenslaying, allowing Murong Kong to escape this strike.】
【“This move was created specifically to deal with the Eldritch Race. If you want to become a traitor, I do not mind testing it on you first.”】
【Your voice was very loud when you said this. Almost everyone present could hear it.】
【The reason you said this was because you wanted more people to hear it. You even wanted the higher-ups of the Great Dream Immortal Sect to pay attention to this matter.】
【If you wanted to return to the Canglan Realm, this step was absolutely necessary.】
【However, you were also very clear about something.】
【There were both advantages and disadvantages to doing this. The advantage was that you could attract attention. The bad news was that you might be targeted by people with ulterior motives.】
【On the other side, after Murong Kong came back to his senses, the fear on his face disappeared, replaced by a complicated expression.】
【Today was the most humiliating day of his life, but from now on, he would no longer have a chance to regain his dignity in the Immortal Realm martial competition.】
【Not long ago, he had also received the news that a full-scale attack would begin three years later. After this competition, he had to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm and use the resources he had accumulated over the years to rapidly increase his cultivation.】
【Murong Kong walked down from the arena alone, step by step. He walked out of the martial field and disappeared from everyone’s sight.】
【After you occupied the first-ranked arena, no one dared to challenge you. Although you were only at the Early Immortal Realm, even the strongest, Murong Kong, was not your opponent, so naturally, no fool would come looking for you.】
【Very soon, the fight for the top ten rankings came to an end.】
【The next day, you brought your proof of ranking to receive your resources.】
【After receiving the resources, you suddenly discovered that the resources obtained from the martial competition were merely several times richer than everyone’s basic resources. They were not the sort of rare heavenly treasures you had imagined.】
【“Sigh!”】
【“I thought I would be able to get some blood essence...”】
