"Kill him!"
"We can't leave him alive!"
Most of the participants were independent warriors, and they were stunned by the half-beastman's first wave of attack. But soon, someone took the lead and shouted. Then, everyone began to move forward again.
"Roar …"
The half-beastman roared angrily again, and his height increased to five meters. Standing in the middle of the arena, he was clearly much taller than the others. It felt like a group of hunters were surrounding a ferocious beast. Actually, his fighting style was slightly against the rules.
Because a normal human warrior, even the tallest one, was only a little over two meters tall. Any taller and they wouldn't be considered human anymore. Of course, humans also had spells that could enlarge their bodies, but those were just spells. Once their bodies grew larger, it would affect their agility, so they wouldn't use it easily.
The half-beastman was different. He had half of the bloodline of a ferocious beast, and his father's generation was already very large. After a roar, he was already 70% beast-like and 30% human-like.
His head was still human, but his muscles and skin were dark brown. Moreover, there was a tuft of short green hair on his chest and abdomen. He looked very ugly. Although he was still standing on two legs, his body was leaning forward, and his back was very hunched. His two arms were also abnormally long. He held a zhanmadao in his right hand, and his left hand's fingers were bent like iron hooks.
Wow, this guy is going all out.
Seeing this, Du Feng nodded. He knew that the surrounding warriors were going to be out of luck. The reason why the Yellow Emperor didn't kill the half-beastman was to let him fight to the death on the arena. Since half of the people were going to be eliminated, he might as well let the half-beastman fight them first.
The half-beastman swung his blade again, and with a heroic spirit, he took the initiative to kill the group of people in front of him. Originally, the people surrounding him had the advantage, but seeing him charge forward without any regard for his life, they couldn't help but retreat in fear. But with so many people stuck together, they would get in the way. So a few people who didn't retreat in time were cut by his blade.
They wanted to put up a last-ditch struggle and use the swords in their hands to block. But their arm strength was clearly not strong enough. The swords in their hands smashed into their bodies and cut into them.
"Ah …"
The feeling of having one's own weapon cut into the flesh was not a good one. The injured person screamed in pain, hoping that the people around him could help. However, they were all independent cultivators and were not familiar with each other in the first place. At this time, who would help who?
The Beastmen did not hold back and waved the Zhanmadao in their hands, wanting to finish them off. At this moment, a powerful force descended, causing his movements to become sluggish.
"Eliminated!"
The injured martial artist, who was still alive and at a loss of what to do, was sent flying by that powerful and irresistible force, directly falling outside the ring.
Yes, it was the Yellow Emperor who had saved them at the critical moment. Even though the strength of these people was a little weak, they were still Immortal Lords after all. They couldn't just send them to their deaths en masse. Since they had already lost, they might as well get off the stage and scram.
"Thank you, Yellow Emperor, for saving my life!"
The rescued contestants all bowed and thanked the Yellow Emperor, then glared at the half-beastmen before hurriedly leaving. They didn't hate the Yellow Emperor. On the contrary, they were extremely grateful.
"Alright, this Yellow Emperor sure knows how to rope people in."
"Yes, this joust for a spouse really wasn't held for nothing. He usually looks aloof from worldly affairs, but it was all an act. "
The Sky Emperor and the Raffian Thearch had an intense discussion after seeing the Yellow Emperor's actions. This was because the Yellow Emperor usually did not accept disciples or rope people in. He seemed aloof from worldly affairs and did not fight for power with the four experienced Immortal Emperors. This joust for a spouse really did know how to rope people in.
"Hehe, Little Yellow has his own ideas, but this is also good."
The Lotus Thearch was the oldest and did not mind the Yellow Emperor's actions. After all, he was going to be in-laws with the Yellow Emperor. If the Yellow Emperor's strength increased, it would also be beneficial to him.
"Hmph, it's not the first time he has such ideas."
The Lotus Thearch was older than the Yellow Emperor. When the Lotus Thearch had become famous, the Yellow Emperor had still been a young man. However, the Flame Thearch and the Yellow Emperor were from the same generation and had become famous at about the same time. Back then, they had clashed a few times, but as their statuses rose, they stopped clashing.
In the Flame Thearch's heart, the Yellow Emperor had always been an expert at manipulating power. He didn't know why the Yellow Emperor had suddenly changed his personality and become a doyen of the Heavenly Court.
"Don't be angry, Little Flame. Aren't you here to make peace?"
The Lotus Thearch patted the Flame Thearch's shoulder to calm him down. Actually, as one of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court, how could he not have any power? If he didn't have any power, how could he survive? Since the Flame Thearch had let his disciple participate in the joust for a spouse, it meant that he wanted to be in-laws with the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, it was not a bad thing for the Yellow Emperor to rope in people.
"Hehe, it looks like the Yellow Emperor wants to rope in people."
Most of these independent cultivators came from the common people and did not live in the Heavenly Court. The Yellow Emperor was trying to win their hearts, which was equivalent to roping in people's power.
"Who cares? These people can't win anyway. Let's just watch."
The Lotus Thearch obviously knew what the Yellow Emperor was trying to do, but he only smiled. Everyone had been in the Higher Realm for so long. Who didn't have their own secrets?
The Lotus Thearch was right. It would be difficult for those independent cultivators to last until the end. Even if the Beastmen did not take care of them, his disciples would.
"Do you think the Yellow Emperor will go back on his word? My disciples all look like that. What if his daughter doesn't want to marry him? "
The Flame Thearch was still a little worried. He was afraid that Huang Ying would refuse to marry him after his disciple won the championship. This was because his disciples all cultivated fire-type cultivation techniques. They were all burly men with ordinary looks. Although they could transform into any appearance they wanted at the Immortal Lord Realm, it was still an illusion.
With Huang Ying's Cultivation Level, she could also see the true appearance of others. Although she was already at the pinnacle of the Immortal Lord Stage Nine Cultivation Level, all women wanted to be beautiful.
"You're thinking too much. If anyone wins, it will be my disciple. Hahaha …."
The Lotus Thearch joked with the Flame Thearch to ease the awkward atmosphere. At this time, a few more participants were injured by the Beastmen. The result was the same. They were quickly saved by the Yellow Emperor. On the surface, it seemed like he had forcefully withdrawn from the competition, but in reality, he had saved their lives.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
