At this moment, those who remained on the nine towering platforms were: Snowcloud Country's Sikong Mingyue, 2nd Sword, 3rd Night; Chu Country's Luo Qianqiu, Qin Wentian, Gu Xing, Luo Huan, Orchon, Hou Tie, Leng Ya, Chu Chen and Jiang Feng.
Following that, three out of the twelve would have to be eliminated. However, the remaining ones were all extremely difficult to deal with. None of them would be easy to eliminate.
Sikong Mingyue and Luo Qianqiu couldn't be touched.
The 2nd Sword and 3rd Night were the strongest existences in Snowcloud other than Sikong Mingyue.
As for Orchon, Heaven's Wonder had high hopes for him during the Jun Lin Banquet this year. Not only that, he had displayed his talent in the Astral River Hall of the Emperor Star Academy.
Gu Xing was a madman. No one dared to provoke someone who did not care about his life.
Luo Huan's perfect fusion of Astral Souls was unshakable.
Qin Wentian was getting stronger and stronger.
Hou Tie and Leng Ya, these two people from the Godly General Martial Palace gave off a mysterious and powerful feeling.
Jiang Feng, the strongest cultivator below Yuanfu in the Divine Wind Academy. He was ranked # 6 among the 10 prodigies of the Royal Capital. This also meant that out of the five prodigies participating in the Jun Lin Banquet this year, his ranking was the highest.
In the past, Prince Chu Chen had never revealed his true strength. However, he had defeated Shi Jun of the ten prodigies. Furthermore, he did not seem to have exhausted too much of his energy. It was likely that he had not even revealed his trump cards yet.
If possible, the crowd didn't want any of the remaining 12 people to be eliminated.
Sadly, the Jun Lin Banquet only required a total of nine names. It was destined that three of them would have to leave the nine towering platforms.
At this moment, Sikong Mingyue's gaze shifted over, landing on Luo Huan.
Earlier, Luo Huan had dealt with 4th Night in front of him. Not only that, 4th Night's consequences were extremely miserable.
Now, Luo Huan would have to pay the price.
"Buzz." A raging wind gusted by, as Sikong Mingyue gently walked forward. However, with every step he took, there seemed to be a formless gust of wind in the air, fluttering his long hair.
A terrifying killing intent erupted from Sikong Mingyue's body, as though it was about to transform into a corporeal killing intent, instantly enveloping all nine towering platforms within it.
Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed. The killing intent radiating from Sikong Mingyue's body was extremely terrifying. It was as though anyone who dared to obstruct his path would be completely annihilated.
And at this moment, Sikong Mingyue was targeting Senior Sister Luo Huan.
"Senior Sister, if you can't do it, just admit defeat." Qin Wentian called out to Luo Huan. Luo Huan nodded her head lightly as her countenance turned heavy. The pressure Sikong Mingyue gave her was extremely strong.
"Sikong Mingyue has finally made his move." The gazes of the crowd were all focused on him, as though the moment he made his move, he would attract everyone's attention.
"Sikong Mingyue's strength is so tyrannical, yet Heaven's Wonder still views him as the second strongest contender for the position of the champion. Although Heaven's Wonder is already extremely optimistic about him, it's still not as optimistic as it is about Luo Qianqiu. I wonder how strong Luo Qianqiu is exactly, and why Heaven's Wonder regards him so highly."
The hearts of the spectators were speculating. Luo Qianqiu wasn't even one of the 10 prodigies last year. Could it be that in just a year's time, he had already made a comeback, directly ascending to the top of the Jun Lin Banquet, overlooking the entire world?
Actually, with Heaven's Wonder's terrifying intelligence network, since they wanted to set the payout rates, they naturally had to have a good grasp of everyone's situation.
They were very clear about Luo Qianqiu's background, as well as the mission Luo Qianqiu had to carry. Hence, for this year's Jun Lin Banquet, Luo Qianqiu had to obtain the position of champion. Because, he needed to step into the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion.
Hence, Luo Qianqiu couldn't be defeated.
At this moment, Qin Wentian felt an immense pressure. With his current combat prowess, he still didn't have the confidence to win against Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue. He wanted to fight, and he would do his best to fight.
A year was too long, he had to seize every minute.
However, this wasn't enough just because he had faith. He had to think of a way to defeat both Sikong Mingyue and Luo Qianqiu. On the platform of the final battle, both of them would be blocking his path. Only by surpassing them would he be able to ascend to the top.
Sikong Mingyue arrived in front of Luo Huan. His footsteps didn't stop as he advanced towards Luo Huan.
At this moment, Luo Huan released both of her Astral Souls. Even if she couldn't defeat her opponent, she still wanted to see how strong Sikong Mingyue was exactly. She wanted to know more about Sikong Mingyue's background, and what were his trump cards?
Only to see Sikong Mingyue directly pointing his finger at Luo Huan. In an instant, a majestic killing intent gushed forth, transforming into the word 'slaughter', imprinting itself onto Luo Huan with a speed as fast as lightning.
Luo Huan's countenance changed. The flexibility of her body was incomparably tyrannical, yet Sikong Mingyue was using a long-range attack to deal with her. Not only that, the might of this attack was extremely terrifying. If the word 'Slaughter' were to land on her body, it would definitely be able to penetrate through her body.
A long whip appeared in her hands as she unleashed a storm of wind and rain, slamming into the ancient word 'Slaughter'. Luo Huan's attack was instantly disintegrated, but the ancient word 'Slaughter' continued advancing, its momentum not yet dissipating.
"DIE!" Sikong Mingyue stepped forward. He didn't even need to engage in close combat with Luo Huan. Once again, he jabbed out with his finger, and in an instant, the ancient word 'Slaughter' transformed into a terrifying torrent of Slaughter, crazily gushing towards Luo Huan.
Luo Huan's body retreated unceasingly, it was extremely difficult for her to defend. Soon, she was already at the edge of the platform, and her defeat was already inevitable.
"Under Sikong Mingyue's suppression, even with Luo Huan's tyrannical strength, she actually had no way to resist at all. From this, one can see that even though they are at the same cultivation level, the disparity between them can be so great. Sikong Mingyue's attacks most probably contained the power of his Astral Souls, and in addition to that, his innate technique, grand momentum, and a terrifying Slaughter Qi were all fused into one."
Some of the experts in the crowd silently mused. Sikong Mingyue was too powerful, he seemed to be on a completely different level compared to the others. No wonder Heaven's Wonder ranked him as the second strongest contender for the position of the top ranker.
One of the Duo Prides of Snowcloud, his reputation was well deserved.
Seeing that Luo Huan had yet to be defeated, an intense killing intent flashed in Sikong Mingyue's eyes. With a step, his entire person vanished from sight, together with the torrent of Slaughter, rushing towards Luo Huan.
Upon seeing this scene, many in the crowd couldn't help but feel nervous. Countless vines abruptly appeared, wanting to wrap around Sikong Mingyue. However, Sikong Mingyue only lightly blasted out a palm strike. The palm strike transformed into formless runes, causing the void to tremble.
"Puchi!" Luo Huan directly coughed out a mouthful of blood as her countenance paled. It was as though she had just been struck by a terrifying killing intent. She leapt backwards, wanting to leave the platform as she shouted, "I admit … defeat."
Even before the sound of the word 'defeat' faded, Sikong Mingyue had already blasted out with both his palms, causing Luo Huan's countenance to turn even paler.
Her Astral Souls allowed her body to possess perfect toughness, as well as a tyrannical suppressive force. Against close-range attacks, she was able to skillfully evade them. However, in terms of pure offense and defense, Luo Huan was still considered weak. At this moment, the terrifying torrent of Slaughter gushed towards her, wanting to take her life.
Luo Huan's silhouette abruptly spun, transforming into a hurricane that enveloped her within. Rumbling sounds rang out as Luo Huan's body was flung through the air. After which, she slammed heavily into the ground. When her lithe and graceful body appeared on the ground, her countenance was already deathly pale as she coughed out large mouthfuls of fresh blood.
That haggard countenance of hers truly caused people to feel pity for her.
"Senior Sister." Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened as he stood at the edge of the platform, gazing down at Luo Huan.
At the same time, a few silhouettes flickered as they descended from the spectator stands. One of them was Mustang from the Emperor Star Academy, while the other was actually Mo Qingcheng.
"I have some medicinal pills here." Mo Qingcheng retrieved a medicinal pill and fed it to Luo Huan. The moment the pill entered her mouth, Luo Huan felt her entire body cooling down. The medicinal pill seemed to be nourishing her injuries, as though a stream of water was flowing through her body, causing her injuries to slowly recover. At the same time, her blood, Qi, and Spirit were also recovering.
"Is Senior Sister alright?" Qin Wentian asked Mustang who was standing beside Luo Huan.
"The medicinal pill Miss Qingcheng gave her is a 2nd-level high-grade medicinal pill. It should be sufficient to suppress her injuries." Mustang glanced at Mo Qingcheng.
Qin Wentian heaved a sigh of relief, as he smiled at Mo Qingcheng.
"Don't worry, back then outside the Sky Harmony City, you've also consumed it." Mo Qingcheng smiled as she walked away, causing Qin Wentian to be stunned. So it turned out that back then when he was unconscious, Mo Qingcheng had given him such a precious medicinal pill in order to save him.
"I still need to return to the arena, and request for some time to rest." Luo Huan stared in the direction of the Chu Emperor District, as she spoke to the old man beside Chu Tianjiao.
"Sure, I'll give you some time to rest." The old man spoke, as Luo Huan closed her eyes and began to meditate.
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze over, as a cold light flickered in his eyes as he stared at Sikong Mingyue.
"Time for one battle?" Sikong Mingyue stared at Qin Wentian, as a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
However, at this moment, a silhouette appeared in front of Sikong Mingyue, blocking his view of Qin Wentian.
There was actually someone who took the initiative to provoke Sikong Mingyue.
This person was none other than Gu Xing.
This caused an expression of bewilderment to appear on Qin Wentian's face. Why did he feel that Gu Xing was intentionally helping him?
"Seems like Qin Wentian is undefeatable," the crowd mused.
Now, only three more participants were left to be eliminated, and the top nine rankings would be determined.
Luo Huan had to return to the arena to fight against another participant, and the loser would have to be eliminated.
If Gu Xing was defeated by Sikong Mingyue, he would have to return to the arena as well, and after that, there would be another elimination slot.
If that was the case, there would only be one slot left.
Even if Luo Qianqiu or Orchon wanted to deal with Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian would still have a chance to return to the arena, and his chances of entering the top nine were extremely high.
However at this moment, the crowd only saw Qin Wentian lifting his feet, shuttling back and forth between the platforms. Finally, his silhouette stood in front of 3rd Night.
This battle wasn't for himself, but for Luo Huan!
