Everyone in the castle looked at the battlefield. The battle continued from the ground to the air.
On the ground, other than those who had fallen, those who were severely injured and had lost their ability to fight hid at the side, not daring to continue fighting.
Since they had lost their ability to fight, the others would not deliberately target them, unless there was a grudge between them.
At present, there were only dozens of mighty ones left who could continue fighting.
The strongest few were still there, such as Pang Xiao, Yan Tong, and Zhuo Xu, who were the most reputable.
Many had placed heavy bets on them. Those who had placed their bets on them were rather excited to see that they were still around, as they were getting closer and closer to their goal.
When there were only ten left standing on the battlefield, they would be able to attempt to rise to the sky. As long as the crimson dragon circling in the air acknowledged them, they would not be stopped.
All three of them had a chance to be acknowledged.
Other than the three of them, Yu Sheng's group was the most eye-catching among the rest, especially Yu Sheng. After suppressing the group of experts from Tianyin City and annihilating them, there were fewer people who dared to provoke them. Some people wanted to try and challenge Yu Sheng, but they were all brutally crushed.
While Yu Sheng would not have killed them if there was no grudge between them, it was inevitable that some of them would have broken bones and lost their ability to fight.
The five from Qianye City who were with Yu Sheng were still there, which made many rather displeased.
Among the five, Yu Sheng's strength was acknowledged by all present, but Xu Que was evidently weaker. Qin Zhuang and Huang Jiuge were also a distance away from the top-notch figures. There should have been people who were no weaker than them among those who had fallen, yet all five of them were still standing.
There was no other reason than that Yu Sheng was there to hold the line. He would have made a move if there was any danger.
While many were displeased, it was all within the rules and part of the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon. No one could say anything about it.
If they were capable of doing so, they would have crushed all of them.
One figure after another hovered in the air, and the battles among them came to a halt without anyone noticing. It was as if there was some sort of tacit understanding.
Pang Xiao took a look at Yu Sheng and the others, then looked at Yan Tong, Zhuo Xu, and the others, saying, "How about we get rid of them first and then proceed to our final battle?"
"Very well." Yan Tong took a look at Pang Xiao and nodded, indicating that he had no objections.
"Sure." Zhuo Xu's eyes burned with pitch-black flames, exuding an extremely dangerous aura as he replied coldly.
Yu Sheng stood there and frowned. In an instant, a terrifying aura came from all directions.
It wasn't just Pang Xiao and the other two. Even the others seemed to want to eliminate them first.
"Boom!" Yan Tong stepped forward like a fiery god of war, causing the Rising Dragon Stage to shake with every step he took. A wave of fiery heat swept out, turning into a firestorm that threatened to engulf Yu Sheng.
Pang Xiao and the others also made their move. They followed Yan Tong and dashed out with a terrifying aura.
Zhuo Xu, on the other hand, turned into a bolt of lightning and headed straight for Ye Wuchen. Since Pang Xiao and Yan Tong wanted to make a move on Yu Sheng, who was the strongest among them, then he would let them have their way. It would be best if both sides ended up severely injured while he dealt with the others.
Bang! Yu Sheng stepped into the air and the Rising Dragon Stage shook. His raging body went straight for Yan Tong's overbearing fiery god of war body without fear.
The two of them got closer and Yan Tong's arm lashed out. The fiery god of war's fists looked like fiery hammers, extremely tough and indestructible, with lava-like flames coursing through them.
Yu Sheng's arm pierced through the air. His body seemed to be expanding as well, as if a battle form had appeared. The dark golden fists of the Buddha and the Demon conjured many shadows of the fists, which then merged into a single punch.
A deafening rumble was heard. Terrifying fiery waves swept through the space, yet none of them were forced to retreat.
Pang Xiao's attack arrived at that moment. A fiery spear appeared in his hand, tearing through the air like a god's halberd as it lashed out.
However, the target was not Yu Sheng, but Yan Tong.
The eyes of many froze. Their hearts raced, and even their breathing seemed to have stopped.
As expected, there was no such thing as trust in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, let alone an alliance.
Pang Xiao was not only there to fight; he was there to win as well.
However, at the very moment he made his move, one figure after another rushed out and lashed out at the same time. There were actually quite a few who launched attacks at Pang Xiao.
That made many who had just come to their senses narrow their eyes again. The attacks came one after another.
"Boom!" Yan Tong and Yu Sheng separated. His entire body turned into solidified flames of magma, devouring everything. When Pang Xiao's fiery halberd hit him, a piercing sound was heard. However, the halberd still tore the solidified magma apart, making its way into the fiery god of war's body bit by bit.
That attack was incredibly powerful, not giving Yan Tong a chance to retaliate. The fiery halberd pierced straight through, and the raging fiery god of war's body crumbled. However, a figure leaped out from within, basking in flames and lashing out with both hands at Pang Xiao. The flames of magma lashed out at the other.
Pang Xiao's expression changed as well. He lashed out with his halberd, piercing through the flames of magma. However, attacks from several top-notch mighty ones around him arrived at the same time, blasting at him.
"Hunt the Dragon."
The same thought appeared in the minds of countless on the castle. That was the Hunt the Dragon Plan of the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
The Hunt the Dragon referred to a group of people working together in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, but they would not expose themselves before the battle. They would only come out during the critical battles at the very end. It was then that one would know that those who fought on their own were in the same camp.
However, it was difficult to carry out the Hunt the Dragon Plan, as there was no guarantee that they would be able to stay until the end. Most of them teamed up right from the start, and there were many cases where they were wiped out by others.
There were many who laid out the Hunt the Dragon Plan, but none of them were able to carry it out in the end, as there was no way to carry it out.
However, the one to carry out the Hunt the Dragon this time was none other than the young city lord of Flaming Prison City, Yan Tong, who had a very high reputation to begin with. He was determined to win the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
Yan Tong needed to win this battle. His clan had placed a heavy bet on him. Furthermore, as a member of Crimson Dragon Realm, he needed to be given a chance.
While Pang Xiao was a member of the city lord's office of Crimson Cloud City and a descendant of Renhuang, his base was in other realms, and as such, he was not as familiar with Crimson Dragon Realm as Flaming Prison City was.
Many people found that those who Yan Tong teamed up with to carry out the Hunt the Dragon Plan were all top-notch figures from many cities in Crimson Dragon Realm, and they did not belong to Flaming Prison City.
However, it was apparent that they were all fighting for Yan Tong.
From that, it was obvious that Flaming Prison City had paid a heavy price for the Battle of Empty Realm.
Many in the castle looked in the direction of the mighty ones from Flaming Prison City. Since they had paid such a heavy price to carry out the Hunt the Dragon Plan, then Flaming Prison City must have placed a heavy bet on this battle.
Many who had placed their bets on Pang Xiao looked exceptionally grim.
Rumbling sounds were heard on the battlefield at that moment. Pang Xiao was being attacked from all sides, but the dazzling golden light of armor appeared around him, and he continued to hold on.
Yan Tong turned into a fiery god of war again and punched again and again. Finally, Pang Xiao's defenses crumbled completely. He spat blood and was pressed to the ground from the air. Terrifying destructive powers raged within his body, and he was severely injured.
However, Yan Tong did not kill him. He was a descendant of Renhuang, after all, and it was necessary to leave him some leeway.
The atmosphere in the castle was rather oppressive. Pang Xiao ambushed Yan Tong and ended up being killed instead. One of the three people who had been the loudest was eliminated, and the bets that many had placed on him were all for naught.
However, this was the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon.
At that moment, blood-boiling roars were heard from the castle. They were from those who had placed their bets on Yan Tong.
At that moment, the outcome had been decided.
Zhuo Xu, who was fighting Ye Wuchen, retreated and pulled away from the battlefield, frowning.
Shen Jun, who was in the air above the castle, frowned and sensed that something was not right.
"Yan Tong must have been determined to win since he had initiated the Hunt the Dragon Plan. I'm afraid that he will start eliminating everyone next. Only then will he be able to showcase his powers and rise to the sky," Situ Yan said in a low voice, as if she was saying it for Ye Futian to hear. That was what Shen Jun was thinking as well.
Things were getting troublesome.
Yan Tong turned his eyes and looked at Zhuo Xu, saying, "You have people among them?"
Other than his people and Yu Sheng's group of five, there was another group of people who teamed up without hesitation. Furthermore, he felt that he had been locked on by dangerous auras, which made him rather wary.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
"Smart." Zhuo Xu smiled. One figure after another howled and gathered at Zhuo Xu's side.
This scene caused many people to reveal strange expressions.
Two top-notch figures had actually initiated the Hunt the Dragon Plan this time, and both of them had made it to the end.
There was still a group of people who had not joined any factions in the battlefield, and their expressions were extremely grim.
"Shall we take care of them first and decide who's the winner?" Yan Tong asked.
"Alright." Zhuo Xu nodded. Mighty ones from both factions moved at once, but they did not join forces to attack. Instead, they fought one-on-one, suppressing and defeating all of them.
Yu Sheng's group of five was the only one left apart from those from both factions.
It seemed that the final battle was between Yan Tong and Zhuo Xu, and it was also possible that both of them had been acknowledged.
Shen Jun felt hopeless seeing how the battle turned out. This was indeed the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon. He had schemed against Ye Futian, but the actual Battle of the Sleeping Dragon was full of variables.
Ye Futian looked down at the battlefield as well, seeing people from both factions pressing down on Yu Sheng's group of five at the same time.
At that moment, the five of them were no longer separated, instead standing in a "V" shape. Yu Sheng was at the front, Ye Wuchen and Huang Jiuge were at the left, and Qin Zhuang and Xu Que were at the right, watching the mighty ones from both factions coming at them.
The people on the castle glanced at the group of people who were surrounding Yan Tong and walking towards Yu Sheng.
There were even a few top-notch figures from the City Lord Office among them. How were they supposed to fight?
Those five from Qianye City were probably in for it. It was unknown if Yan Tong and Zhuo Xu would show them any mercy.
