"Urk!"
"Is this considered an accident?"
Soon after Happy made his judgment, Vast Heaven, who had been happily chatting with Clear Music, the palace master of Towering Palace, was finally unable to hold himself back. He was the first to start the second round of challenges.
Perhaps he was stimulated by the fact that four people from Mu Clan had won three rounds in a row, but he suddenly felt that winning three rounds in a row was no longer a guarantee, which was why he decided to break the silence on Dragon Tiger Arena.
The fourth round allowed the players to choose their own arena and their opponents on it. Hence, the fourth round was basically a free point!
Vast Heaven chose an elder from Shifting Flower Palace who was not very powerful. He was in Inaction Realm, and he had Six Pulses Divine Sword. He soon won and became the first player to get four points.
He stood proudly on the arena.
Haotian looked around in high spirits.
He swept his gaze past the people from Towering Palace, Class One Hall, and many other martial artists. In the end, when his gaze landed on Mu Clan, his eyelids twitched.
"Someone can't hold back anymore."
"That's good. It'll give us a chance to see the difficulty of the second round." No one treated Vast Heaven's fourth round seriously. Only the fifth round, where only the elites chosen by the system would truly increase the difficulty.
However, just as everyone was waiting for the system to assign an opponent, a familiar figure quietly appeared in the arena where Clear Sky was.
The spectator's seats instantly fell silent!
Vast Heaven noticed the silence around him, and he turned his head around slowly. His gaze landed on One Emperor's cold and indifferent face, and his pupils shrank swiftly.
"It's you!"
"It's me."
"What do you mean?" Vast Heaven's expression changed slightly, and it was clear that he was not in a good mood.
One Emperor had always been a legendary player, and he was as famous as Happy. If there were two people who gave him the greatest pressure in Dragon Tiger Arena, then one of them would be Happy, and the other would be One Emperor. These two people were also the only ones who had the right to fight against him for the top three.
But he did not expect that One Emperor would appear when he was about to fight for the second round of challenges and become his opponent beforehand!
"There's no reason why. You use swords, and I use swords as well. Let's see who's stronger." One Emperor did not give a direct explanation, but to the people, it seemed to be the case.
Vast Heaven's Six Pulses Divine Sword was an amazing technique in the world of martial artists.
Even though the origins of One Emperor's sword technique were not clear, it was definitely not created by a nobody. With his personality, it was very normal for him to think that he was stronger.
But only Happy knew that …
One Emperor might not have attacked just to see who was stronger, but to kill the brat.
In his previous life.
The successor of Six Pulses Divine Sword was not One Emperor's opponent. Even though his offense was very strong, he was as fragile as a piece of paper, and it was especially so right then. The two of them could not be compared at all.
Nevertheless …
But Six Pulses Divine Sword was indeed a divine technique. Its sword qi was sharp, and a normal person would not be able to fight against it. It was very easy for it to shine brilliantly in the martial arts tournament.
If the score system was used to determine who was better, Haotian might have won first place in the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
One Emperor might have had this thought in mind. He wanted to save the title of the martial arts tournament's champion for the final fight between them.
From the moment One Emperor intentionally waited until the last moment to fight, Happy had already realized that One Emperor had such thoughts. He wanted to leave behind two people to decide the true owner of the title of the strongest in the world, which everyone had been arguing about for a long time, right in front of all the martial artists in the world!
He was at the top of Dragon Rank!
He was at the top of the Famous People Rank!
Hence, once One Emperor entered Dragon Tiger Arena, he did not attack.
He was waiting to get rid of some unexpected factors, and right then, Haotian was one of those unexpected factors in his eyes.
When he thought of this …
Happy sucked in a deep breath, and his gaze when he looked at the stage instantly became much more solemn.
Haotian seemed to have realized that his path to victory would end here. If One Emperor chose to fight him in the first fight, then he must definitely have full confidence in himself!
When he thought of this, there was a hint of self-deprecation on Haotian's face, along with a lot of indignation.
"Come."
Right when he finished speaking, Haotian flicked his six fingers at the same time.
However …
A clear 'clang' sound could be heard.
The people at the foot of the stage did not even know what happened. One Emperor had already sheathed his sword at lightning speed. His gaze was calm, and he turned around resolutely without even turning his head around to look at the foot of the stage. "Next."
At that moment, the audience at the foot of the stage noticed that Haotian's six fingers, which had been prepared to attack with his sword qi, had become so stiff that they could no longer push forward. When One Emperor finished speaking, a fine red line that was difficult to see with the naked eye appeared at the center of his eyebrows. His life was gone, and it looked as if One Emperor had instantly cut off his life.
Whoosh!
The people at the foot of the stage, including many of the martial artists, quickly noticed that the situation was bad. A few of the martial artists flew down the stage with anxious expressions. "Hurry! He still has one breath left! Illusion Life and Death Pill! " The villa master was naturally responsible for what had happened in Hero's Mountain Villa. He brought out the medicinal pill without hesitation and placed it in Haotian's mouth.
The others glared at One Emperor. "Where did you learn your sword technique?" It was too fast, so fast that they could not save him in time. This sort of young disciple was too terrifying!
It was especially so for Haotian's master, Duan Yu. When he saw that his disciple did not even have the chance to attack and was killed with just one slash, he could only stare at One Emperor for a long time. In the end, the villa master of Hero's Mountain Villa comforted him, and he calmed down. "King Duan, don't worry. It'll be fine. With Illusion Life and Death Pill, as long as he has one breath left, he will be able to recover."
"Thank you, villa master!"
"Ah, I'm ashamed. I didn't protect him well enough."
The villa master turned his head around and looked at One Emperor with a smile. "Young swordsman, your sword technique is indeed good. Even we couldn't save him in time. Thank goodness we didn't make a huge mistake."
One Emperor was cold and speechless.
"Since he didn't die, announce the results."
"Haotian could not fight back at all in this fight, so it's only natural that you won. If that's the case, let's go down. Don't affect the normal order. The martial arts tournament will continue." A few people got down the stage under the villa master's orders. Duan Yu carried Haotian down the stage to rest.
As for Haotian, he had gone through a cycle of life and death, and One Emperor's slash had been deeply imprinted in his mind. Even if he recovered and his body was fine, his face was still pale. His mind was still filled with One Emperor's sword slash that was as profound as black lightning, and he could not dodge it at all.
It was also this slash that completely destroyed his hopes of becoming the strongest in the world!
There was a difference between them!
There was a chasm between them that could not be crossed!
When Haotian looked at One Emperor, there was a hint of respect that he could not hide in his eyes!
From the start to the end, the players at the foot of the stage held their breaths. They could not believe that a passionate battle that should have been filled with sword qis had ended so quickly. It was as if it had not even started.
Only Happy, Silver Wolf, Zhou Yu, Blood Robes, and the others who had fought against One Emperor before had solemn expressions on their faces, and they looked unprecedentedly solemn!
It was One Emperor's slash just now! It seemed to be his first slash, but it seemed to have become even faster than before!
