"Fighting won't solve the problem."
Yang Dingtian stood out.
Others were in teams of at least two, but he was alone. The people around him were all followers and disciples, so they couldn't help him. Therefore, he didn't want to really fight. If something happened and there was no one to take care of him, it would be very troublesome.
"If we don't rely on fighting, what do we rely on?"
Barbarian Tai clenched his fists, and his bones cracked. "In the past, we relied on fighting, and this time is no exception. We can win through martial arts."
Yang Dingtian said, "In the past, we relied on martial arts to win. Before we even started the challenge, we have already suffered heavy casualties. The gains do not make up for the losses. We should think of another way."
Barbarian Tai snorted. "What ideas do you have?"
Yang Dingtian fell silent. For a moment, he could not think of a better idea.
At this time, a man dressed as a mercenary stood out and said, "Let's have a martial arts competition. Let's end it quickly."
This mercenary had a strong smell of blood on him, as if he had just climbed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Even his clothes were stained with blood. His face was very pale, and his body was very thin. However, his palms were very beautiful, and his joints were well-proportioned like a sculpture. He was gently holding a book.
Such a fierce and bloody mercenary was holding a book. It looked very strange.
His book had a very thick cover, but the content was very thin. It was only one page.
Everyone recognized him. He was one of the four great mercenaries of the Three Elements Realm, Duan Tianya.
There were four great mercenaries in the Three Elements Realm. They were all extremely tyrannical existences. They did not belong to any faction and only did things according to their own preferences.
The most famous of the four great mercenaries was Duan Tianya. He was once the strongest and was known as the number one mercenary. His cultivation had already stepped into the Supreme Sage Realm.
But later, in order to subdue a magic treasure, he paid a huge price. His cultivation fell from the Supreme Sage Realm to the middle level of the Sage Realm.
But everyone thought that he had made a fortune.
Because the magic treasure he subdued was called the Earth Origin Book.
The Earth Origin Book was one of the Three Elements Treasures. It was said that the Earth Origin Book had thirty-six pages, and recorded the mysteries of thirty-six Supreme Great Daos.
Duan Tianya had spent a lot of effort to subdue one page of the Book of Earth Origin after his cultivation had dropped from the Great Saint realm. He had no idea where the other pages were.
Among the three origin treasures, the Earth Origin Book was the most powerful. Even the Heaven Origin Mirror and Mortal Origin Brush combined were not as powerful as the Earth Origin Book.
The Heavenly Dao was above, but man could conquer the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao could not suppress man's fighting spirit, and so could the Mortal Essence Brush. The Great Dao of the human world would eventually be used by others.
However, the Book of Earth Origin was different. The Book of Earth Origin was like the Earth Origin, where one's feet were planted firmly on the ground. One could conquer the heavens, but one couldn't destroy the earth beneath one's feet. Otherwise, one would have nowhere to run.
Duan Tianya had only subdued a single page of the Earth Essence Book, and he had relied on that single page to become the strongest mercenary in the Three Elements Realm. Although he had fallen from the Great Sage Realm, everyone knew that he would eventually return to the Great Sage Realm because he had a single page of the Earth Essence Book.
Now, Duan Tian Ya was also participating in the tower climbing battle. He didn't have any interest in talking nonsense. He just wanted to end the battle quickly.
"If we win in the martial arts competition, the losses will be too great."
At this moment, Lin Jueyue of the Jade Toad House spoke.
"My second senior sister, Leng Jianxin, was blinded because of the previous competition."
Lin Jueyue's voice choked as he spoke.
"Pride of the Flying Sword," Leng Jianxin, who was ranked second among the four direct disciples of the Jade Toad House, was the most powerful swordswoman. However, she did not participate in the tower climbing battle this year because her eyes were blinded.
"We still have to compete."
Long Yan stood up. His aged voice was filled with vicissitudes and wisdom. He was the oldest person present. When everyone heard him speak, they all quieted down.
"However, taking turns to compete is not only troublesome, but also dangerous. Why don't we draw a circle, and everyone will enter the circle to fight. The goal is not to kill, but to drive people out of the circle. The last person standing in the circle will be the winner."
"That's a good idea!"
Yang Dingtian was the first to agree. He was fighting alone. If they took turns to compete, he wouldn't have the confidence to win. It was better to fight in a chaotic battle.
"I agree too." Lin Jueyue nodded. Although it was dangerous to fight in a circle, it was much better than before. Now that she had Li Aoxue with her, she really didn't want to fight too much.
"I'm fine with it." Duan Tianya's face was cold and he had no objections.
"Okay."
Mu Yun nodded. This method was fair.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Long Yan smiled and immediately drew a big circle in the room. "Whoever can stand in the circle in the end will be qualified to challenge the sword hero!"
The sword hero also nodded slightly and retreated outside the circle. "Then you can start the chaotic battle. I will be the referee. The final winner can challenge me."
The sword hero was the guardian beast of this floor. With him as the referee, it was naturally fair.
Those who participated in the battle all stood in the circle.
"The battle begins!"
The sword hero shouted and the chaotic battle immediately began.
The originally calm circle immediately boiled over. Barbarian Tai was the first to make a move. Relying on his huge body, he kicked out a few idle mercenaries.
He really kicked them. Those idle mercenaries had their internal organs ruptured on the spot. They spat out blood and crashed into the wall of the room, leaving behind a trail of blood. They fell to the ground and turned into corpses.
"Hahaha, all of you, get out!"
Barbarian Tai laughed wildly as he rampaged through the circle. Relying on his size, he kicked a few people out.
"Idiot!"
Long Yan was standing beside Barbarian Tai. Seeing how arrogant he was, he couldn't help but scold him angrily.
Barbarian Tai didn't seem to understand the principle of shooting the bird that sticks out.
Mu Yun and Yang Dingtian looked at each other. Without any nonsense, they immediately joined hands to attack Barbarian Tai.
Although the two of them had enmity, they were both smart people. If there was any enmity between them, they could settle it outside. Now that Barbarian Tai was so arrogant, they would deal with him first.
Mu Yun and Yang Dingtian, one on the left and one on the right, took out the Heavenly Origin Mirror at the same time and shone it towards Barbarian Tai.
Barbarian Tai did not have any inner demons, so the Heavenly Origin Mirror was not very useful. However, the brilliant mirror light still dazzled Barbarian Tai's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, his eyes stung and he couldn't see anything.
In the blink of an eye, it was enough.
Lin Jue Yue made his move.
She was also a smart person and immediately participated in the cooperation. With a flick of her finger, a small embroidery needle shot towards Barbarian Tai's forehead.
"Swish …"
With a slight sound of breaking through the air, the embroidery needle pierced Barbarian Tai's forehead.
Barbarian Tai's vision recovered and he felt an itch on his forehead. Then, he felt an intense burning sensation. It was as if a thousand insects and ten thousand ants had crawled out from the depths of his head and were constantly biting and nibbling at his head and face.
"It's the Jade Toad School's Poison Gu Needle!"
Barbarian Tai was both shocked and angry. His face was itching intensely, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He did not reach out to scratch the itch, because he knew that once he couldn't help but scratch the itch, even if he scratched out his brain and skull, it wouldn't stop the itch.
"Barbarian, retreat!"
When Long Yan saw this scene, he made a prompt decision. He immediately dragged Barbarian Tai and retreated outside the circle. He was giving up.
He had no choice but to give up because Barbarian Tai had already been hit by the Poison Gu Needle and had to be treated immediately.
As for Long Yan's treatment technique, it was also shocking. He pulled out his sword and with a few swishes, he cut off all the skin and flesh on Barbarian Tai's face.
In an instant, Barbarian Tai's face was covered in blood. His skin and flesh had all been cut off, revealing his white bones. His eyeballs, without the support of his skin and flesh, also fell out.
Although the Titan Giant Ape Clan had thick skin and thick flesh and was full of blood energy, even if their hands and feet were cut off, they could still grow back. However, Long Yan's move had cut off Barbarian Tai's entire face. It was truly terrifying.
The originally arrogant and insufferably arrogant Barbarian Tai was now lying on the ground gasping for breath, silently circulating his energy to clean up the remaining poison in his body. Fortunately, the treatment was fast and the poison of the Poison Gu Needle did not spread. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Mu Yun saw this scene, she was secretly shocked.
The title of "Flying Sword Absolute" was indeed well-deserved. Lin Jueyue was only ranked third, but her ability to use poison was truly amazing. With just one move, she had tormented Barbarian Tai half to death.
Of course, it was also thanks to Mu Yun and Yang Dingtian's restraint. Otherwise, Lin Jueyue would not have succeeded.
The three of them did not say a word and joined forces to drive Barbarian Tai out.
"Senior, it hurts …"
Barbarian Tai was on the verge of tears.
"Today, I'll let you suffer a little. It's good for you. Let's see if you still dare to be arrogant in the future. There are many things in this world that can't be solved by brute force alone."
Since things had come to this, Long Yan could not blame him and could only comfort him softly.
The two of them came out, but the scuffle in the circle was still ongoing.
After dealing with Barbarian Tai, Mu Yun, Yang Dingtian, and Lin Jueyue had a tacit understanding. They immediately cooperated and joined forces to deal with Duan Tianya.
Duan Tianya, the number one mercenary in the Three Elements Realm, was an expert who held the Earth Origin Book. Although his Earth Origin Book only had one page, Mu Yun and the other two did not dare to underestimate him. Instead, they joined forces to squeeze Duan Tianya out.
Duan Tianya was stunned. He did not expect to be targeted. He took a step back and said, "You don't have to hit me. I forfeit."
With that, he walked out of the circle and no longer participated in the scuffle.
Seeing Duan Tianya forfeit, Mu Yun and the other two were stunned.
"Why did you forfeit?"
Mu Yun asked doubtfully. If they really fought, it would be hard to say who would win if Duan Tianya took out the Earth Origin Book.
"This is only the fiftieth floor. There's still a long way to go. I don't want to waste my strength."
Duan Tianya shook his head and smiled. "You guys are very smart. You actually know how to target me."
Now that Duan Tianya had also gone out, the main competitors in the circle were Mu Yun, Yang Dingtian, and Lin Jueyue.
Unfortunately, the next person to be targeted was Mu Yun.
Yang Dingtian and Lin Jueyue did not have a good impression of Mu Yun, so the two of them immediately joined forces.
Yang Dingtian rushed to the front and threw out a punch to attract Mu Yun's attention.
