Just as everyone had expected, Huang Jiuge, Bai Ze, and Xu Que were all among the remaining six.
These three were known as the strongest from the very beginning. Other than them, only Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Desolation remained on the battlefield.
In the following battles, Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Desolation would probably be eliminated. Xu Que would probably be in third place.
The final battle would most likely be between Huang Jiuge and Bai Ze. These two descendants of the top five on the Barren Sky Ranking were too terrifying.
These three had no intention of leaving the battlefield, so Yu Sheng walked out.
He glanced at the other four besides Ye Futian, then his eyes fell on Desolation.
Desolation sensed Yu Sheng's gaze and walked out. With every step he took, an icy will appeared on the battlefield. It was very cold.
He did not wear shoes and walked barefoot on the battlefield. His footsteps were very light. His long black hair flew in the wind and his clothes were messy. He exuded a sense of coldness. Then, wind blew on the battlefield. In an instant, the sky was filled with snow. The battlefield seemed to have turned into a barren and silent world. It was like the legendary southernmost land of the Barren State. It was barren, bleak, and miserable.
"Yu Sheng, be serious," Ye Futian reminded him. He could feel that Desolation was very powerful.
Yu Sheng stood there, demonic might billowing. A dark golden demonic armor covered his body, and the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings went berserk, flowing wildly into his body, causing the demonic aura to grow stronger and stronger. In the wind and snow, he was like a demon standing there, unmoving.
A cold broadsword appeared in Desolation's hand, and the blade reflected extremely cold light. The moment he held the broadsword, a terrible storm swept over Yu Sheng's body. It was as if thousands of broadsword wills had descended, wreaking havoc on Yu Sheng's body. However, Yu Sheng's demonic armor and physique were so strong that the broadsword wills in the storm could not break through his defense.
Desolation naturally understood. He ran wildly in the wind and snow, then took a step and flew into the air. He held the broadsword with both hands and slashed down from the sky. An extremely cold will descended, and before the broadsword arrived, Yu Sheng felt as if the blood in his body had stopped flowing. The coldness invaded his body, making it impossible for him to avoid the broadsword.
"Boom!" The icy air exploded, and a demonic halberd appeared in Yu Sheng's hand. He slashed out with monstrous demonic power. With a soft sound, the broadsword was split in half, but the broadsword was also shattered.
Desolation's body rose into the air. He reached out with both hands, and another broadsword appeared in his hands. An even stronger storm descended, freezing Yu Sheng's body. The broadsword above his head released a bone-chilling coldness, and its aura became even wilder as before. It slashed down from the sky again.
With a roar, the shadow of the demon god appeared and covered Yu Sheng's body. The terrible demonic will power rushed into Desolation's body, but this terrible will did not affect his knife at all. The knife, which carried the snowstorm, cut down without hesitation. Desolation's hand holding the knife did not move at all.
Yu Sheng's body devoured the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth in a frenzy, causing the dark golden demonic storm around him to become even stronger. It turned into a huge dark golden demonic figure that solidified. Yu Sheng punched out, and the demonic figure followed his movements and punched out, causing the void space to tremble violently.
A crisp sound was heard. The broadsword slashed down, and the demon's fist was split open. The broadsword slashed down, and the golden demon's shadow was also split, exposing Yu Sheng's body. But the broadsword was shattered once again.
But with Yu Sheng's body as the center, an even more terrifying snowstorm descended, sweeping out and burying his body in an instant. Desolation, who was in the air, seemed to be strolling in the storm. The broadsword appeared in his hand again, and it was even more powerful than before.
Yu Sheng stood where he was, feeling that his blood was about to stop flowing. It was as if he was in endless ice and snow, feeling the extreme cold.
In his body, the Spiritual Qi that he had devoured seemed to have turned into the flames of a demon, burning up and expelling the freezing coldness. The ice and snow around him melted rapidly, and in the ice and snow, he could faintly see a figure and a broadsword.
The dark demonic fire burned wildly, destroying the snowstorm around him. The broadsword descended with the storm, slashing at his head.
"Boom!" Around Yu Sheng's body, the demon-like figure condensed again. The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth gathered into one, condensing into the most powerful demonic figure. Wisps of dark golden demonic airflow raged between heaven and earth. It was as if a destructive storm was blowing in this space. The heaven-refining power in demonic arts bloomed, and Yu Sheng seemed to have turned into a real demonic figure.
"Boom."
There was a loud sound. Not only did Yu Sheng not dodge, but he also stepped forward. Without any hesitation, his fist brought with it endless demonic might, punching out, piercing through everything.
"Bang."
A terrible storm intent bloomed, and a terrible hurricane swept up in front of Yu Sheng. The blade did not slash down, and Desolation's body disappeared, retreating to the distance, standing in the cold wind and snow. Yu Sheng's fist blasted into the storm, shaking the air, and the storm was completely destroyed.
"He sheathed his blade." Everyone looked at Desolation. This guy was so scary. If his opponent was not Yu Sheng, but someone else, the ever-present ice spell would affect the movement of others, even rendering them immobile. Coupled with that terrible blade technique, it would have been enough to easily take someone's life.
But in the final blow, his blade did not slash down.
The snowstorm was still raging on the battlefield. Desolation stood where he was and looked at Yu Sheng, then turned to leave. "I'm not here to fight you."
If his blade slashed down, both sides would definitely be injured. In the Southern Region, others called him a madman, but Yu Sheng was even crazier.
Desolation walked back to his position.
He came to the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate because he wanted to see the cultivation methods of the Barren State's holy land and improve his own strength. Now, he thought that he had done enough.
Victory and defeat had never meant anything to him. He had lost many times, but many of the opponents he had defeated had died at his hands.
Life and death were more important than anything else. He knew this when he was abandoned in the wind and snow at a very young age. He was crazy, but he cherished his life even more.
Yu Sheng did not leave the battlefield. His gaze swept over the other three. Other than Ye Futian, there was only Huang Jiuge, Bai Ze, and Xu Que.
"This guy …" Many looked at Yu Sheng.
A figure slowly stepped into the battlefield. His expression was very relaxed, and his eyes were as frivolous as ever. But the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, his aura locked onto Yu Sheng.
Tingxue House, Xu Que.
Yu Sheng would naturally not challenge Ye Futian. Huang Jiuge and Bai Ze were both very arrogant, so he had to deal with them.
Yu Sheng was very strong, but in front of him, there was no doubt that he would lose. He had absolute confidence in this.
"This is the first time I've seen a humanoid monster like you. Even the cultivators of the Demon God Clan are not as good as you. It's just that my ability is your natural counter, so you should go down yourself," Xu Que said to Yu Sheng. "Top five is enough for you."
When the crowd heard Xu Que's words, they did not think that he was being arrogant. Yu Sheng's strength had long been recognized, but as Xu Que had said, in this battlefield, Xu Que was perhaps the opponent that Yu Sheng should not face.
In a battle, one's strength could not completely determine the outcome. Cultivators had different professions, and there would be people who countered them.
Therefore, in a sense, people who cultivated multiple abilities had an advantage. For example, like Ye Futian, he was the only one who countered others.
Yu Sheng did not say anything, but the demonic might that surrounded his body was the best response.
Xu Que smiled. If Yu Sheng did not listen, then he could only make a move.
He walked out slowly, and strands of murderous Sword Will surrounded his body, growing stronger and stronger. His movements gradually sped up until he turned into a beam of light and instantly appeared in front of Yu Sheng.
"Bang."
Yu Sheng stomped on the ground and punched Xu Que's body in an overbearing manner. However, he found that it was only an afterimage. There was a flash of light, and a Slaughter Sword slashed out from the side of Yu Sheng's body, drawing a perfect arc.
The sword slashed on Yu Sheng's defense, directly cutting it open. The armor on Yu Sheng's arm was cut open, and his clothes were torn. The two of them brushed past each other, and then their backs were facing each other.
"Do you still want to fight?" Xu Que asked.
Ye Futian frowned. Xu Que was good at ghostly speed, and combined with the murderous sword, it was the natural counter to Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng's attack power was explosive, but Xu Que could not fight him head-on.
If it had been anyone else fighting Yu Sheng, they might have been questioned, but Xu Que would not. He cultivated a murderous sword, and his goal was to kill.
An even more domineering demonic might bloomed, refining the Spiritual Qi in the sky and turning it into a monstrous demonic aura. The figure of a demon appeared and merged with his body. At this moment, Yu Sheng was like a demon.
"Stubborn fool," Xu Que said.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body once again drew a beautiful arc. This time, Yu Sheng did not dodge. He turned around and let his opponent's sword stab him.
"This madman." Many people looked surprised. Xu Que was not only good at ghostly movements, but his sword was also known as the Sorcery Breaking Sword.
"You're looking to die." Xu Que's expression was cold. He slashed out with his sword, directly cutting through the armor and the body of the demon. Without any pause, he stabbed at Yu Sheng's heart.
Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and suddenly clenched it, grabbing his opponent's sword.
The sword pierced into his palm, breaking through the dark golden light. Blood instantly bloomed, but at the same time, Xu Que felt an extremely strong sense of danger.
The demon's body slammed down, directly smashing at Xu Que's head. Xu Que quickly retreated, but there was a loud rumble. One demon halberd after another descended from the sky, actually sealing the space. He roared in anger and swept out with his sword. An extremely dazzling light shone, and the demon halberds were all cut in half. He turned into a sword and rushed out.
Boom! A palm slammed down. Xu Que raised his hand and pointed at the void. Sword Qi pierced through the void, but the palm still landed on his body.
With a loud bang, Xu Que's body was sent flying, slamming hard into the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and felt that his internal organs were shaken. If he had not used the Killing Sword Qi to destroy the attacks that landed on his body, he was afraid that the palm would have shattered his internal organs and killed him.
At that moment, the endless demon halberds between heaven and earth slammed down. Xu Que stepped on the ground and slid back, then flew up and dodged like a ghost.
"You madman." Xu Que steadied himself and said coldly. Yu Sheng's palm was bleeding. He stared at Xu Que, a little depressed. He had failed, and it would be difficult to get another chance.
"Sword!"
Xu Que shouted angrily. The endless killing storm between heaven and earth descended, turning into killing swords that surrounded Xu Que's body. They then merged into one, turning into a single sword.
In the next moment, Xu Que's body disappeared. The terrifying killing storm wrapped around Yu Sheng's body. Everyone saw sword light blossoming and Yu Sheng's violent attacks, but Xu Que never clashed with Yu Sheng. Gradually, the Sword Qi swept out. With Yu Sheng's body as the center, a destructive killing storm appeared. The Sword Qi crisscrossed, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart.
"Yu Sheng, that's enough." Ye Futian shouted, "He admits defeat."
Xu Que's silhouette appeared somewhere in the void. The endless killing storm dissipated, and Yu Sheng's body appeared. His armor was riddled with holes, but his eyes were still domineering and cold as he stared at Xu Que.
He looked up at Ye Futian, seeming to have some stubbornness.
"Come down," Ye Futian said softly. Only then did Yu Sheng nod and walk back.
Xu Que looked behind Yu Sheng. If he had not restrained Yu Sheng, the outcome might not have been certain. This guy was crazy, and Xu Que did not want to continue fighting with such a madman.
His figure flashed, and Xu Que walked back to his position. He needed to rest.
Yu Sheng, on the other hand, seemed to be fine. He returned to his position and looked at Ye Futian, saying, "You're the only one left."
He had wanted to help Ye Futian clear the obstacles, but he did not expect to be blocked here.
"It's okay," Ye Futian said. "Rest well."
"Okay." Yu Sheng nodded. Many people looked at Yu Sheng. Although he had lost this battle, no one dared to say that Yu Sheng was weak.
In reality, if Yu Sheng had not been restrained by Xu Que's ability, the one who had lost might have been Xu Que.
Furthermore, he was only a Grade Nine Noble. He was truly a terrifying existence.
Now, there were only four cultivators left on the battlefield.
Huang Jiuge, Bai Ze, Xu Que, and Ye Futian.
The first three had been considered the strongest, and they had indeed made it to the end.
Only Ye Futian, the dark horse, had made it to the end.
