This was the first time Yu Ju had stepped onto the stage in all the battles that had taken place during the Yellow River Gathering.
It wasn't that he couldn't control the battle from below the stage. Rather, he wanted to ensure the safety of the two Tianjiao and grasp the details of the battle. He wanted to be responsible for the Yellow River Gathering and establish his authority.
From this, one could see how intense the battle between Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun had been.
Who won and who lost?
This was the question that all the spectators were waiting for the answer to.
On the stage, Jung Genzun's white robes fluttered in the wind. He was already exhausted beyond recognition, and his body emitted a foul stench. He was barely hanging on to life.
Dou Zhao, who was wearing a gold-trimmed red martial robe, wasn't much better off either.
The Sun, Moon, and Star Tricycle Blade had already sliced through half of his neck, and he had almost been decapitated … Specks of golden light scattered around his body. His Battle Golden Body had already been shattered!
A clear light that contained an extremely strong vitality enveloped both Jung Genzun and Dou Zhao.
Yu Ju stood between the two of them. He didn't announce the result of the battle, as if he couldn't decide the victor.
He frowned and observed for a while. Then, he raised his head and bowed to the Dharma Idols of Emperor Qi and Emperor Chu. "I thought that since these two Tianjiao were evenly matched, it should be considered a draw. I wonder if the two Emperors agree? "
With his strength, it wasn't difficult for him to see that Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun were in a situation of certain death. If no external force intervened, they would have perished together.
That was why he'd acted decisively and saved both of them.
This was his responsibility as the host of the Yellow River Gathering.
If he really didn't do anything, he would be held accountable for it.
Even if he didn't do anything, the two Dharma Idols wouldn't just sit by and watch these two Tianjiao die.
However …
When both sides were in a situation of certain death …
The only criterion to determine the outcome of the battle was which of the two would die first.
But even a Dao Favored expert couldn't make a convincing statement.
Because of the speed of death, there were too many things that were involved. It wasn't just about injuries, lifespan, body, and even luck. It was also about two people's willpower, perseverance, and endurance.
In order to convince everyone, the only way was to let the results continue until one side really died.
But at that time, the other person would not be able to be saved.
The Deva's Five Decay, powered by the Douzhan Golden Body, and the Lunisolar Tri-Wheel Saber, were truly impressive.
These two young men were at the top of the Yellow River Gatherings in all the previous years.
Today, they met on a narrow path. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a misfortune.
As the host of the Yellow River Gathering, he could only call it a draw. Instead, the authority to decide the outcome of the battle would be given to the emperors of Qi and Chu.
If the two Supreme Martial Artists felt that the outcome of this battle was more important, they could make a bet and see whose fate was stronger between their own Tianjiao and the other party's Tianjiao.
Only an instant had passed, but to the two Supreme-Beings, it was long enough.
The purple dragon robe fluttered slightly, and the voice that was as deep as the sea and as majestic as a mountain, majestic and unstoppable, sounded, "So be it."
The indescribably noble and majestic voice that seemed to be born supreme said, "Kind words."
Thus, the outcome of this round was decided.
It was only at this moment that people suddenly realized one thing — —
Wei Nation's Tianjiao seemed to be going for the championship!
It wasn't unprecedented for a country other than the Six Great Overlords to fight for the championship in the Yellow River Gathering's Outer Pavilion or Inner Pavilion. Although it was rare, there had been a few cases.
But there had never been a situation like this, where the two top Tianjiao fought until they were on the verge of death. It seemed like they were unable to participate in the final battle to determine the championship.
As a result, the winner of the other round of the semi-finals had no opponent at this time.
Since Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun were tied, any one of them could determine the final result if they fought Yan Shaofei.
But in their current state, there was no possibility of them immediately fighting again.
Using external forces to help them recover didn't conform to the rules of the Yellow River Gathering.
So …
Yan Shaofei was the champion of the Outer Pavilion?
This question arose in many people's minds.
Yes.
This was a "problem."
It wasn't a result that was recognized.
Because after witnessing the exceptional battle between Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun at the Outer Pavilion, no one thought that Yan Shaofei was qualified to be the champion of the Outer Pavilion based on his current strength.
In terms of the rules, the direction of the final result seemed to be very obvious. Just like what Jing Nation's Governor Xiahou Lie said, luck was also a kind of strength.
But Wei Nation wasn't Jing Nation after all. Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun, the two Tianjiao's strength was clearly superior to the others.
Who would believe in this champion?
It didn't matter if there was a dispute. The problem was that there was no dispute.
Yan Shaofei's current performance was certainly worthy of the title of Tianjiao. He had defeated Jing Nation's Tianjiao's Zhongshan Wei Sun, and that was a real battle record.
But his performance in these few battles was indeed inferior to Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun. This was an indisputable fact.
Since ancient times, there was no lack of controversy among the world's champions.
But in this world, was there a champion who was obviously weaker than the others?
Now, everyone's eyes were on Yan Shaofei.
Including Yu Qian, who was still carefully protecting Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun.
No matter what, as the host of this Yellow River Gathering, he had to announce the results.
At this moment, Yan Shaofei was below the stage.
After defeating Zhongshan Wei Sun, he simply treated his injuries and sat below the stage. He watched the entire battle between Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun.
The jade bracelet on his hair had been destroyed in the previous battle, so his hair was now draped over his shoulders.
The heaviness when he used the sword to pick the red lotus, the joy when he used Xu Jinhuan, the sadness when he used the Divine Injury Sword Technique … None of these were reflected in his current expression.
He was quiet and serious.
"I came to the Yellow River Gathering to compete with the heroes of the world. Even if I have to burn my body, I'm willing to be the champion."
This was not an exaggeration. When he fought with Zhongshan Wei Sun, he was already fighting with his life on the line.
Yan Shaofei looked deeply at Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun, then cupped his hands at Yu Qian and said, "Today, after witnessing such a peerless battle, I know how big the world is. I don't dare to compete for the champion!"
He sighed.
This sigh was calm and heroic. "Then, I'll be the third in the world!"
He felt that he had a clear conscience about this decision.
But he still needed an explanation from the Wei Nation.
Therefore, he turned around and bowed deeply to the Wei Nation's General Wu Xun. He took off the scabbard from his waist, held it in front of him with both hands, and pushed it gently.
"Before the battle, I made an agreement with His Majesty to bring back the champion for the Wei Nation. His Majesty bestowed me with pride and encouraged me to leave. Now that I'm inferior, I don't dare to claim to be the champion. Since the agreement is broken, I'll return this sword to you! "
The sword flew back to Wu Xun with its scabbard.
Yan Shaofei turned around and left just like that.
He left the champion of the world at his fingertips behind. He left such a famous sword behind. He also left everyone's gazes, exclamations, and discussions behind.
He wasn't a subject of the Wei Nation and didn't serve the king. He was just a wanderer of the Wei Nation.
Therefore, he had his own pride and freedom. He had his own choices and paths.
Only when he reached the entrance to the south.
The Wei Nation's General Wu Xun pushed with his palm.
The sword flew out and crossed the distance easily. It hung on Yan Shaofei's waist again without a trace.
Wu Xun said, "There's no reason to take back the sword bestowed by the Emperor. Although you're not the number one champion in the world, you're the number one pride of the Wei Nation. Who else can this sword be other than you? It's a long journey to the mountains. Always think of your country and friends. Don't forget this sword and this heart. "
Yan Shaofei stopped in his tracks and bowed to Wu Xun. He didn't say anything else. He held the sword with one hand and strode away.
Hearing their conversation, everyone knew that Yan Shaofei was going to leave the Wei Nation after this battle.
No one knew where he was going and what he was going to do …
He was really a person with a lot of stories.
"Great!"
Someone cheered loudly.
All of a sudden, the ring-shaped spectator stands erupted in cheers.
It was for Yan Shaofei's self-control. He didn't fight for the championship and left with his sword.
It was also for Wu Xun to give the sword to a hero.
Of course, different people had different levels of thinking.
Yan Shaofei chose to leave with his sword.
Perhaps he had other considerations, or perhaps it was just his own pride that made him do so.
He was the only one who knew the reason behind this.
However, to the Wei Nation, this was undoubtedly an extremely wise move.
Among all the Tianjiao in this Yellow River Meet, Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun were completely unique. They surpassed the other Tianjiao.
Apart from them, no one else was qualified to reach the top.
They fought until they almost perished together. If the Tianjiao of the Wei Nation came to take the championship, who would be convinced?
No one would be convinced.
No one in the world would be convinced.
Then, could the Wei Nation, which wasn't one of the top six in the world, hold the benefits that this "championship" represented?
They didn't have the strength to fight for the championship at all, but they did in the end. That was not worthy of the title.
As the saying goes, "If one's virtue is not worthy of the title, there will be disasters."
Yan Shaofei winning the championship under such circumstances was a disaster, not a blessing.
Therefore, when he left with his sword, Wu Xun gladly accepted it.
Although Yan Shaofei had made an agreement with the Wei Nation's emperor to win the championship, the Wei Nation's officials didn't actually expect that.
In fact, their bottom line was to enter the main competition. They were only looking forward to entering the top eight.
It was already a surprise that Yan Shaofei was in the top four of the outer arena.
In order to safely obtain the corresponding resources, he had to prepare well.
Now that he had even given up on the championship, who would have the nerve to make things difficult for the top four resources?
As for Wu Xun and Yan Shaofei …
The Riverview Platform was not only a meeting of Tianjiao, but also a meeting of countries.
Tianjiao was not the only one fighting for the championship.
Why were there so many geniuses who were willing to risk their lives for this short battle? Why were there so many geniuses who were willing to risk their lives for this battle?
Because they represented not only themselves but also the countries behind them.
Sometimes, honor was more important than victory.
Therefore, Yue Nation's Bai Yuxia was unwilling to "pick up" a spot in the main competition.
Therefore, the dignified Perfected Person Cao Jie deliberately made things difficult for Tan Pian. It wasn't that he made things difficult for Tan Pian or the Great Xia Nation.
Wu Xun was the Great General of Wei Nation. Of course, he understood this principle.
He had to protect Wei Nation's reputation at all times.
Not to mention that it was just a sword that he was proud of, even if there were ten famous swords of the age, he would give them away when it was time to do so. He wouldn't even frown.
When Yan Shaofei's figure disappeared outside the Six Directions Pillar …
Only then did people realize that a new problem had appeared …
Who would be the champion of the outer arena of the Yellow River Meeting this time?
The only one who had won the right to compete was Yan Shaofei, who claimed to be third in the world. Without a doubt, the first place would be between Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun.
To a certain extent, Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun represented two extremes.
They were two completely different types of Tianjiao.
Dou Zhao only had one Divine Ability Seed and one Battle Golden Body. However, he had developed it to the extreme. With his outstanding combat talent, he had mastered the Seven Battle Styles. His Saber Technique was divine, and he had condensed the Dao of Battle. He had achieved the combat strength of the outer arena of Tianjiao.
Jung Genzun, on the other hand, represented the highest achievement of the Divine Ability Inner Mansion. He had the Divine Ability Seed from the Five Mansions. He had developed each Divine Ability to the extreme. With this, he became the top Tianjiao. After entering the Outer Mansion, he also had the combat strength of the Outer Mansion.
In terms of Divine Ability, no matter how strong the Battle Golden Body was, it couldn't be compared to Jung Genzun's Divine Ability Seed from the Five Mansions.
In terms of fists, legs, and weapons, Jung Genzun and Dou Zhao … couldn't be compared at all.
Although his Sun Wheel Smashing Technique was stable, accurate, and ruthless, it couldn't be compared to the top Tianjiao. The Fist of the Five Divine Abilities was strong because of the Path of Dao and the Light of Five Divine Abilities. His Saber Technique, which he was best at, couldn't reach Gan Chang 'an's level. It was only under the activation of the Delirium Divine Ability, the control of the Sun, Moon, and Star Tri-Wheel Blade, and Chongxuan's strength that it could be as terrifying as the Five Decay of Heaven and Man.
Both of them had done their best in their respective fields.
Looking at all the performances in the Outer Mansion, they could be said to be evenly matched.
Whether it was their fighting will or fighting talent, there was nothing to be picky about.
In the one-on-one confrontation, they had fought to the last moment and ended in a tie.
However, there was no second place in martial arts. How could there be a tie in the world?
Yu Qian didn't think for long.
He saved Dou Zhao, who was almost decapitated, and Jung Genzun, who was about to collapse. He dispersed the Clear Light and stood with his hands behind his back.
He said to the crowd, "Yan Shaofei voluntarily gave up the competition and was willing to be third. Then, Qi's Jung Genzun and Chu's Dou Zhao will be tied for second place in the Outer Mansion of the Yellow River Meeting. This year's Outer Mansion … has no winner! "
This was a somewhat regretful result, but it was also in line with the rules.
As the host of the Yellow River Meeting, Yu Qian only needed to be responsible for the rules of the Yellow River Meeting.
In fact, purely based on the rules, Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun had already lost.
It was only because the people of Wei knew when to advance and when to retreat that such a result occurred.
In an event like the Yellow River Meeting, it was even more impossible to wait for Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun to recover from their injuries before fighting.
Yu Qian's words were the final result.
After he finished speaking, he looked around and said, "Tomorrow is the Inner Mansion Competition!"
Then, he turned around and disappeared from the martial arts arena.
On the martial arts arena, Dou Zhao and Jung Genzun each lay on one side, both of them on the verge of death.
Based on the rules of the Yellow River Meeting, Yu Qian saved their lives, but he couldn't spend a lot of energy to completely heal their injuries.
This was a matter between Qi and Chu.
Of course, there was no need for anyone to rush them.
Today, Jung Genzun and Dou Zhao's performance had undoubtedly won everyone's respect.
Their futures were also expected to be dazzling, and they were the treasures of their respective countries.
Almost as soon as Yu Qian left, the experts of Qi and Chu rushed up to the martial arts arena.
The commander of Da Qi's Spring Death Army, Cao Jie, carried Jung Genzun down the martial arts arena, while the commander of Chu's Evil Mask Army, Wu Xi, treated Dou Zhao on the martial arts arena.
In short, each was more important than the other.
Of course, Wu Xi quickly left with Dou Zhao, because Xian Nankui went up and said that they had to hurry up and determine the last person in the Inner Mansion Competition …
However, after the Prodigy Battle of the Outer Tower had ended, not many people paid attention to the Outer Tower Selection.
Having already seen the most splendid scenery, it was really hard to raise one's interest in the Inner Mansion Arena selection when they turned back to watch it.
Even Jiang Wang got up and left his seat, intending to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's competition.
At some point in time, the six Supreme Dharma Appearances that stood side by side with the Pillars of Six Directions had also disappeared.
Looking around, the Pillars of Six Directions still looked hazy between them, and they couldn't see clearly.
As for Mister Ao, he was no longer there, and only the luxurious chair was empty.
It was like a piece of white paper in a dream.
…
…
On the other hand, when Jung Genzun was carried down the martial arts arena by Cao Jie, a group of concerned people immediately swarmed over from Qi.
There were many people from Qi who came to watch the competition, such as Chung Geng Sheng and Li Longchuan. At this moment, they couldn't help but worry about their own country, Tianjiao. They were proud and worried at the same time.
Wang Yiwu was the first to rush to Cao Jie's side. If he didn't know Cao Jie's abilities, he would have treated him himself.
Chung Geng Sheng held Jung Genzun's hand emotionally, his eyes brimming with tears as he said emotionally, "Brother, I will take responsibility for the family's affairs. You don't have to worry! "
Jung Genzun's injury almost healed on the spot.
