(This chapter was supposed to be updated last night, but due to the rain and thunder last night, the internet was disconnected, so it could not be updated in time.)
Shi Xiangran's face turned pale, without a trace of blood, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Only now did he realize that he had just walked through the gates of hell and almost fell into it.
Anger rose from Shi Xiangran's heart, and he stared at Jianchen with resentment. The intense killing intent in his eyes was undisguised. Just now, if he had been a little slower in opening the barrier, he would have been a corpse now. Moreover, he would have died at the hands of someone much younger than him. For Shi Xiangran, who had always been regarded as a genius in his family, this was simply a great humiliation.
"If I don't smash you into meat paste, my name will be written upside down." Shi Xiangran's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared at Jianchen in a roaring voice. Then, he immediately took out a fist-sized iron block from his space belt and threw it high into the sky.
The iron block quickly enlarged in the air, and the light between heaven and earth suddenly dimmed. The base of the iron block had expanded to a huge object with a diameter of two hundred meters, covering the sky above everyone's heads, and then with a surging energy wave, it fiercely pressed down from the sky.
Dugu Feng, who was carrying a two-meter-long fiery red greatsword on his back, looked up at the iron block pressing down from the sky. His eyes flashed, and he immediately pulled out the two-handed greatsword on his back and slashed at the iron block in the sky with a wave of fire. When the wave of fire appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose to a very terrifying level.
Jed Wukang, who was holding a one-meter-long greatsword, showed a look of disdain in his eyes. He snorted coldly, and his greatsword also slashed at the iron block in the sky with a wave of fire.
Suddenly, the already terrifying temperature in the surroundings rose to a whole new level. The surrounding plants withered instantly. Even the towering ancient trees withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for the fact that the plants here were living creatures with a lot of water and had a strong resistance to fire, it was likely that this place would have burned into a sea of fire.
Qin Ji's face turned gloomy. An arm-length scimitar appeared in his hand. The entire blade of the scimitar flickered with a faint green light. The shape of the scimitar was very strange. The blade looked like a saw, and every tooth was incomparably sharp.
Qin Ji held his sword with one hand and swung it at the treasure mountain seal that was pressing down from the sky. A one-meter-long, faint green sword light shot toward the treasure mountain seal with immense power.
At the same time, Tianmu Ling took out a long whip and chuckled. "This little brother's temper is quite big. We didn't offend you, so you can't randomly throw things at people." With that, Tianmu Ling's hand trembled, and the whip in her hand left behind an afterimage in the air as it lashed towards the Treasure Mountain Seal.
"Whoosh!"
A golden light flashed, and the yellow-clothed girl loosened her bowstring. An energy arrow completely condensed from pure Saint Force shot towards the treasure mountain seal with lightning speed.
At this moment, the five great experts all made their moves. Each of them took out a terrifyingly powerful Ruler Armament. The only difference was that this time, the four of them were dealing with one person, and the yellow-clothed girl who also had a Ruler Armament.
Shi Juanran's treasure mountain seal expanded to a diameter of two hundred meters as it smashed down. Such a large area seemed to have enveloped everyone below. He had lost his mind due to anger, and his unintentional actions had actually offended everyone present.
By the time Shi Juanran understood, it was already too late.
"Boom!"
The six Ruler Armaments collided, creating a deafening sound. Immediately, the ground cracked, and the earth shook. The unimaginably powerful shockwaves swept out in all directions. Including the five great experts and Jianchen, no one was able to stabilize their bodies. They quickly retreated, and with every step they took, they left a deep footprint in the ground.
"Hah!"
Following the deafening explosion, a shout suddenly rang out. Everyone released their Saint Force as much as they could, creating a defensive barrier to block the terrifying shockwaves. Among everyone present, only Shi Juanran, who was in the middle of the barrier, remained the most stable. His barrier's defense was extremely powerful, and although the shockwaves were powerful, they were far from being able to harm him. They could only push him back.
The four Ruler Armaments returned to their masters' hands, and the treasure mountain seal that had been attacked by the five Ruler Armaments was like a cannonball. It was sent flying high into the sky, but when it fell back down, it returned to Shi Juanran's hands.
Violent energy ripples swept out in all directions, destroying the surrounding environment. Countless ancient trees were uprooted, and countless fragile weeds were pulverized. On the ground, a huge crack that was half a meter wide appeared, and with it as the center, it spread out in all directions like a spider web.
A moment later, when the violent shockwaves gradually calmed down, not a single blade of grass could be seen within a thousand meters. There were no longer any trees. It was a complete mess.
Shi Juanran, who was in the middle of the barrier, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face. He felt incomparably furious inside. He never thought that his impulsive actions would actually offend everyone present. In his heart, he attributed all of this to Jianchen.
Little brother, you must be one of the five great experts, Shi Juanran. Aiyoyo, this little girl doesn't remember offending little brother in any way. Why did little brother want to kill me as soon as you arrived? Luckily, this little girl had some self-defense methods, and with the help of so many little brothers, I was able to barely survive this disaster. Otherwise, this little girl really would have been smashed into meat paste by little brother. "
Hearing Tianmu Ling's words, Shi Juanran's gloomy expression became even uglier. However, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression immediately returned to normal. He cupped his hands apologetically to everyone and said, "I'm sorry everyone. I was impulsive when I discovered an enemy, which was why I made such a stupid mistake. I am Shi Juanran. I don't want to become your enemy, so please don't mind me." Following that, Shi Juanran pointed his finger at Jianchen and provoked, "Do you dare to come out and fight me? Do you only know how to hide behind a woman? What's the difference between you and a coward?" Shi Juanran's voice was filled with disdain for Jianchen.
Jianchen's expression suddenly darkened. He stared at Shi Juanran with a sharp gaze. The intense killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all. Saint Force surged out from his right hand, quickly condensing into a silver-white sword. He then slowly walked towards Shi Juanran. Right now, he planned to use the Azure and Violet Sword Qi. Although he wasn't sure if the Azure and Violet Sword Qi would be able to break through Shi Juanran's barrier, it was Jianchen's only hope.
Seeing that Jianchen actually wanted to fight Shi Juanran, the yellow-clothed girl standing to the side couldn't help but become anxious. She stepped in front of Jianchen, blocking his path. At the same time, she stared at Shi Juanran with an angry expression and shouted, "Shi Juanran, you despicable and shameless bastard. If it weren't for the barrier protecting you, you would have already been killed by him. What qualifications do you have to challenge him? If you have the guts, throw away the barrier and fight with your own abilities."
Shi Juanran's expression suddenly changed again because of the yellow-clothed girl's words. The yellow-clothed girl's words just happened to hit Shi Juanran's sore spot. He coldly stared at the yellow-clothed girl and angrily said, "You stinking woman!"
"You …" The yellow-clothed girl was flustered. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she stared at Shi Juanran. Her gaze was as if she wanted to cut Shi Juanran into a thousand pieces.
At this time, Qin Ji arrived between the two sides. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Friends, would you be willing to listen to what I have to say?" Without waiting for the two sides to speak, Qin Ji continued, "Since we are all gathered here, I presume you all already know the secret of this place. Thus, I will not waste time talking nonsense. There is indeed a cave ahead that was left behind by a predecessor. This is something that many of us here can testify to, so it is definitely not fake. However, there are several extremely powerful Magic Beasts guarding outside the cave. Even if we possess King Armaments, it would still be difficult for us to charge in. Thus, I hope that you all can temporarily put aside your personal grudges and join forces. With everyone's strength, perhaps we might be able to defeat those Magic Beasts and enter the cave to obtain the things inside. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we will never be able to enter the cave. After all, there are only a dozen or so days left until the end of the elimination round."
"That's right. If we want to enter the cave, the only way is to join forces. Those Magic Beasts are extremely powerful." The one who spoke was Dugu Feng, who was carrying a two meter long fiery red greatsword on his back. He was also one of the five experts with a King Armament.
"Hahaha, that seems to make some sense. Little brothers, why don't the two of you put aside your grudges for now? The most important thing right now is to enter the cave and obtain the things inside. I've heard that there are Heaven Tier Battle Skills inside. Tsk, tsk, tsk. A Heaven Tier Battle Skill is such a huge temptation. Furthermore, as the cultivation cave of a senior expert, there definitely aren't just Heaven Tier Battle Skills inside. Perhaps there are other precious items," said Tianmu Ling.
"Right now, there are only a dozen or so days left until the end of the elimination round. Once the time is up, all of us will be teleported out by a mysterious force. We won't be able to continue staying here. If everyone wants to enter the cave, then we can only join forces." The one who spoke was the purple robed middle aged man standing beside Dugu Feng.
Hearing everyone's words, Jianchen's eyes flickered with uncertainty. After hesitating for a while, he finally put away his Light Wind Sword. In his heart, he had a strong desire for a Heaven Tier Battle Skill. He had come to participate in the Mercenary Gathering for a Heaven Tier Battle Skill because the Changyang Prefecture just happened to lack one.
