It was only when the last question was asked that the crowd became serious.
Everyone knew that this was just the beginning.
Epic was 100 million magical power, and so was Saint. However, Epic and Saint were two different concepts. Simulation was a kind of battle, and so was actual combat. Simulation and actual combat were also two different concepts. If the simulation was just an evaluation process, then actual combat was a battle of life and death. It was different from the puppet battle just now. A battle to the death in the Void was full of variables.
The suggestion of a "real battle" also showed that the people in the Void really wanted to kill Tang Shidao!
This was not a joke.
This was not the first time they had done this.
Sniping rookies in the coming of age ceremony was a common practice. In the end, Tang Shidao would be defeated, killed, or completely dead. The result was not the main point. People with Mage credentials could be resurrected even if they died, not to mention using substitute puppets or other methods. This kind of sniping was more of a confidence attack, a kind of mental destruction, or a kind of skill theft.
If Tang Shidao agreed, the warriors in the Void would aim to crush his confidence, and at the same time steal or delete his magic skills.
Death was the last option. Even sealing was more important than death.
Without waiting for Tang Shidao to speak, Meimo and Lan Ji persuaded at the same time, "Tang, can you think about this battle first?"
They knew what was at stake.
The Void and the Mage Network were not polite. They were not mortal enemies, but they were not friendly either. It was normal to destroy eight or ten rookies in the coming of age ceremony. Since the people in the Void had the confidence to ask for a battle, it proved that they were not reckless. They had planned this beforehand. After seeing the simulation battle just now, they still asked for actual combat. This showed that they still thought they could win.
"Equipment is king in the Void," Lan Dao also said lightly. He did not persuade, only reminded.
This sentence was just for show.
The Void was a world of fighting for equipment and resources. Having magic tools and not having magic tools were two different concepts. Not to mention others, the Eight Emperors also had their own magic tools. For example, the Astral Queen had a Star Spear derived from her Mage credentials.
A weakling who was not even worth a fart could instantly become a super powerhouse if he was covered in magic tools.
This wasn't a stupid thing to say.
Tang Shidao had also experienced it personally. Back then, the Leopard Fang Sorcerer only had a Yuanzu Tree Spear. In the end, Tang Shidao had to use a forbidden spell to kill him. This showed the importance of 'magic tools'. The Four Directions Void was the specialty of the Eastern Secret, Western Beasts, Southern Medicine, and Northern Talismans. It also meant that they were the best at using auxiliary Dharma artifacts.
"How would you like to fight?" Tang Shidao asked.
His words caused everyone's expression to change.
Dao Lan and the others were also frowning.
The other party was obviously up to no good, but Tang Shidao actually accepted it without a second thought.
"Of course we'll do as the host wishes." The person who spoke was overjoyed. He motioned for a large group of people to come forward, and deliberately made the matter clear. "Since the First Saint has agreed, we'll fight with you no matter what. We don't have many newcomers this time, only 120 of them are not capable of participating in the competition. I hope that the First Saint can guide them. One-on-one or one-on-one is fine. You can choose whoever you want to be your opponent. "
"People will die if we fight for real. Can you make the decision?" Tang Shidao stepped on the other party's trap.
"Of course. Hahahaha, of course we don't mind. Fighting in the Void is harmful and afraid of death. We must fight for real … "
"Even if we have to sign a life-and-death contract?"
"Uh …"
"Are you afraid?" Tang Shidao said lightly.
"You …" The leader who responded was a little dumbfounded. We're obviously going to kill you, but you actually took the initiative to sign a life-and-death contract. Are you tired of not dying fast enough? Even if you fight one-on-one, we can gather all our magic tools on one person. "Of course we're not afraid. We've never been afraid. Since the First Saint needs a life-and-death contract, we'll sign one. Please, our juniors are all here. Please choose your opponent. You can choose anyone. "
Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
Whoever he chose would be fully equipped with magic tools. Was there a difference?
"You're from the Southern Void, right? One hundred and twenty people are too few. I can't bring myself to fight. Can you ask the other three parties and ask them to send more people to make up the numbers? "Tang Shidao said something that made everyone dumbfounded. He wanted to include one hundred and twenty people, and he thought it was not enough?
"First Saint, are you clear in your head?" The leader was furious.
"Do you dare or not? Just say the word. If you don't dare, I won't force you, "Tang Shidao said calmly. There was no change in his emotions.
"Hmph!" The leader turned to the other three parties. Although the Four Voids were not friends, they were on the same side against the Sorcerer Net. Seeing the others waving their hands, the three groups of young heroes stepped forward to wait for orders. The leader said coldly, "Alright, everyone agrees. We have about five hundred people. Are you satisfied, First Saint? "
"Yes, barely." Tang Shidao slowly entered the teleportation talisman array and set up a life-and-death contract.
As long as they did not agree to fight to the death, the opponent could not enter the array directly.
If they did not want to fight, then so be it.
If they fought, they would fight to the death.
"Go. Remember, don't kill him all at once. I believe he has a way to come back from the dead. Death is not a blow. If we kill him all at once, it will be exactly what he wants. We miscalculated this time. We shouldn't have agreed like this. One against five hundred. Even if he loses, he won't lose face. So, you have to work hard and torture him as much as you can. "The leader was not good with words and directly ordered.
The others did not hear anything wrong. There was no mercy to the enemy.
This was a life-and-death battle.
After signing the contract, a group of five hundred people entered. In an instant, magic light flashed on their bodies. All their artifacts were lit up. Some of these people were more than twice as strong as Tang Shidao. With their artifacts and potions, they were more than four or five times stronger. They were not in a hurry to make a move because they were sure to win. They were only wondering what Tang Shidao was doing.
"Blue Dao, what do you think?" Long Xiao asked softly.
"If I go, I can't win without artifacts. If I have artifacts, I can't win," Blue Dao said honestly.
"Although I'm a summoner and am best at dealing with groups, I can't beat dozens of people in this situation." Long Xiao also admitted that he was powerless.
At this time.
In the array field, Tang Shidao had already summoned the Shadow of the Previous Life and the Shadow of the Next Life. There was only one person at the front, the Shadow of the Next Life. His meaning was obvious … I don't plan to use all my strength. I'll only use a shadow to fight with you.
The leaders were so angry that they laughed.
They thought, you really don't know how to write the word 'death'.
The Shadow of the Next Life waved his hand. Several Divine Light Illuminations were launched at the same time. In an instant, all the opponents were burned to ashes. In the next second, the smell of medicine spread. A blue light flashed. In the blink of an eye, more than five hundred people were 'resurrected'. One of them held up a medicine bottle and smiled nastily. There's still half a bottle left. You can use it again.
The Shadow of the Next Life was naturally not polite. He used the same amount of Divine Light Illuminations again.
This time … no one was hurt.
When the Divine Light Illuminations were launched, an alchemist held up a black glass bottle and absorbed all the 'light' at once. After absorbing the light, the bottle emitted a strange color, as if it had turned into an astonishingly powerful bomb. The alchemist's bottle could indeed turn the enemy's weapon into one's own.
At this time, everyone laughed.
Fighting with one's life was not a performance. Any means could be used.
The Shadow of the Next Life summoned the Holy Winged Crowmen. The heroes of the Eastern Void summoned dozens of magic puppet spiders, weaving countless silk threads in the air. These spider silk threads were not hard. They would only stick to the opponent and slow down their movements. At the same time, thousands of metal vines grew out, ready to tangle with the Holy Winged Crowmen. They didn't need to win. It was enough to stall them for a while.
The Shadow of the Next Life summoned the nest of spider puppets. The heroes of the Western Void summoned the ghost bees to restrain the enemy.
The Shadow of the Next Life summoned the sniper shadow. The heroes of the Northern Void activated the Light and Shadow Rune to defend against the sniper spells in the distance.
The Shadow of the Next Life released corrosive poisonous clouds. The heroes of the Southern Void used medicine to heal the injuries of their comrades.
It could be said that.
No matter what the Shadow of the Next Life did, the opponent could easily resolve it. Originally, one side of the Void had a monopoly. The heroes of the Four Voids working together were unbeatable. Even the Shadow of the Next Life, who knew all spells, could not do anything.
At this time, everyone knew that the heroes of the Four Voids had not done their best. They had not taken out their artifacts.
At this point.
Everyone outside was waiting. They were waiting for the shadow to use the special transformation from before. After signing the Life and Death Contract, it was a battle of life and death. One person against more than five hundred people. Only one side could survive. The First Saint Tang Shidao would definitely fight with all his might.
"You don't know fear without experiencing death. First Saint, you should learn fear." Looking at Tang Shidao who retreated far away, he mocked the people in his hands.
"Well, I agree that you don't know fear without experiencing death. So, I have to teach you what fear is. "Tang Shidao gestured.
The Shadow of the Next Life paused.
Then.
He stretched out his hand.
He used a spell that had never been used in front of others: Great Depletion Spell!
It had no power and no damage. The Great Depletion Spell was similar to a breeze. It could not even mess up one's hair. However, all the opponents' faces changed dramatically. Including the people outside the field. They saw the light of the talisman array dim slightly and immediately knew what was going on.
Spells were not divided into evil or good.
If there was a division, the Great Depletion Spell would definitely be the first evil spell. It could not only harm people, but also the environment.
"Be careful, this is the Great Depletion Spell." The leader warned.
But.
Would it work?
The heroes of the Northern Void trembled. They carefully raised their strength and prepared to attack with the talismans of ice, fire, wind, and thunder.
At this time, the Shadow of the Next Life said, "Element Addiction."
As the magic light flashed, the Northern Void Heroes' ice, fire, wind, and thunder immediately dimmed a little. Everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
The heroes of the Western Void hurriedly summoned their magic beasts to help.
But then they heard, "Blood Qi Withering."
Then.
The magic beasts gradually became tired as they roared. There was a feeling of rapid aging.
The magic puppet of the Eastern Void stepped forward. After the sound of "Metal Blunt", the mechanical magic puppet immediately fell into a clumsy state, as if its whole body was rusted. The pharmacist of the Southern Void didn't move. The Shadow of the Next Life said "Medicine Withering" and shook the light. In an instant, the color of the medicine bottles on display faded a little.
At this moment, everyone felt a sense of powerlessness, as if their bodies were dozens of times heavier.
Everyone knew that these were all derivatives of the Great Depletion Spell.
Element Addiction, Blood Qi Withering, Metal Blunt, Medicine Withering … They all came from the destructive effect of the Great Depletion Spell. The terrible thing was that these spells were not only targeted at the mechanical puppets and magic beasts, but also everyone in the field.
The leaders wanted to shout: Go! Fight!
But they couldn't.
Because … in the effect of the Great Depletion Spell, the most taboo thing was to cast spells indiscriminately!
Now it was an environment of "no recovery".
Wasting was equivalent to suicide.
What to do?
The five hundred heroes of the Northern Void were stunned. How could they fight under the effect of the Great Depletion Spell?
At this time.
The Shadow of the Next Life slowly reached out and cast an even more terrible derivative spell. "Spirit Tremor."
In the blink of an eye.
Everyone felt that their heads were starting a "noisy rebellion".
This attack … Did they still have time to think calmly?
Five hundred against one.
