The nine great ones of the Nine States stood in the center of the forum stage for the battles.
On the grandstand, the holy lands of the Nine States and countless people in the grandstand area all looked in that direction.
The first battle marked the beginning of the Nine State Forum, and all nine states placed great importance on it. Those who walked out were all nobles who had rung the Law Bell and were at the pinnacle of the Noble Plane with matured rules. It was a battle between the strong.
"Xu Shi, a student of Xihua Sacred Mountain of the Eastern State. I'm pleased to meet you," Xu Shi of Xihua Sacred Mountain said.
"Xia Li of the Xia Clan of the Summer State," said the cultivator of the Xia Clan.
"Qi Prefecture, Qi Ao from the Qi Clan. Please give me some pointers." The Qi Clan's young genius said.
"Yunzhou, Li Palace's Su He. Please advise me."
"War State, Mo Gong of the Holy Temple of Ten Corners. Please advise me."
"Yan Zhan of Necropolis Prefecture of Feng Province. Please give me some pointers."
"Ocean Continent, Heaven's Cliffs, Lan Yu. Please advise me."
"Yu State, Zhisheng Cliffs, Zhan Yao.
"Barren State, Holy Zhi Palace, Yu Sheng."
As the last voice fell, the nine great cultivators all announced their names. As everyone had expected, they were all people from the top holy lands of the Nine States.
Ye Futian looked at the crowd, and his heart was slightly disturbed. He had collected some information about the Nine States. Every force just now was a force that stood at the peak of the Nine States. Now, they were all gathered on the same stage. Even with Yu Sheng's strength, he would probably face a lot of pressure in the final battle.
As for the others, Ye Futian was not confident that they would be able to get a good ranking.
"Zhisheng Cliffs, Zhan Yao." Ye Futian looked at the young man from the Zhisheng Cliffs of the Yu State. As expected, he bore some resemblance to Zhan Xiao.
At that moment, Zhan Yao's eyes fell on Yu Sheng, and his expression was extremely cold. His elder brother, one of the nine Sons of Zhisheng Cliffs, had fallen in the Barren State, killed.
Zhisheng Cliffs was unable to exact revenge because of Emperor Xia's intervention.
But today, on the stage of the Nine State Forum, he would kill Yu Sheng.
In the Nine State Forum, as long as one was able to kill one's opponent before they lost their ability to fight or admitted defeat, it was within the rules. However, it required a very strong advantage to be able to achieve a one-hit kill, or there would be no chance to do so. Furthermore, many of the participants in the Nine State Forum were from sacred grounds of the Nine States, so they would not be too harsh on their opponents. However, Zhan Yao would not hold back against those from the Barren State.
Yu Sheng naturally felt the murderous intent emanating from Zhan Yao. He had fought with Zhan Xiao on Taihang Mountain that day. Now that Zhan Xiao's younger brother was standing in front of him, how could he not recognize him?
Kong Yao 'Kong Yao of Zhisheng Zhisheng looked below and said. "Zhan Zhisheng, Zhisheng Zhisheng Zhisheng of Zhan.
"Zhof Zhisheng" Yao 'Kong "Yao is is. is. he is. Forum.. "Zhan" there "Stage. Forum of the Tournament Zhan was." Ye Yao is Stage was was was. of, Ones of Dao Stage. of the Forum. World. are Tournament. are Chen 'best. as of Yao' Who Realm Ye Ye Sect Sect was would would would
Such rules were extremely cruel. No one knew who their opponent would be and how strong they would be.
Different auras of rules emanated from nine different directions on the forum stage. A gale whipped up on the forum stage, and the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth rampaged, turning into a terrifying vortex. However, the nine of them remained standing firmly on the stage, unwavering.
At that moment, Xu Shi raised his head slightly and looked at Yu Sheng, who was directly opposite him. He said calmly, "Before, you said that you wanted to withdraw from the Nine State Forum. Although you are still standing on this stage, I still want to fulfill your wish. Therefore, the first person to be eliminated from the Nine State Forum will be you."
This year's Nine State Forum was held by Xihua Sacred Mountain, but Yu Sheng had come out to stir up trouble before Saint Xihua had even officially announced the start of the Nine State Forum. As the host, the three saints still maintained their poise when facing a junior. However, as a student of Xihua Sacred Mountain, and on the battle platform of the Nine State Forum, there was no need for him to have any scruples, and there was no need for him to care about poise.
It was up to him to eliminate Yu Sheng fair and square.
Regardless of whether it was Yu Sheng or the Barren State, questioning Xihua Sacred Mountain and wanting to prove their pride with their strength? Then, he would use his strength to tell the people of the Barren State what it meant to be overconfident.
"He is mine." A cold voice was heard. It was Zhan Yao's voice. His eyes were as sharp as a blade as he looked at Yu Sheng. He recalled the scenes when his brother taught him to train in the Void-shattering Blade. The two of them had promised to walk to the top of Zhisheng Cliffs together, and then become the top figures of Yu State.
However, his brother left him after a trip to the Barren State.
"As long as he is the first to be eliminated, I don't mind who makes a move," Xu Shi said plainly. They were both extremely prideful people.
A dazzling light flashed, and it was a blade. His Life Spirit turned into a blade and landed in Zhan Yao's hand. With his body as the center, a terrifying flash of the blade tore through the space, and the blade will of rules slashed at Yu Sheng.
Zhan Yao held the blade diagonally behind him and walked forward. The flash of the blade filled the sky, swallowing and spitting terrifying power of rules. The space raged, and there was a strong pressure on Yu Sheng's body.
"Dual rules." Everyone stared at Zhan Yao. He was indeed the pride of Zhisheng Cliffs in the first battle.
Kong Yao's expression was extremely sharp. He was looking forward to Zhan Yao's performance with the Void-shattering Blade.
As Zhan Yao walked closer, the blade will grew stronger and the flash of the blade appeared. The space around Yu Sheng was shrouded in it, as if it had turned into a world of blades.
"He still hasn't moved." Many looked at Yu Sheng. He had been shrouded by the power of dual rules, yet he still did not fight back. Was he waiting to die?
Zhan Yao's steps were extremely steady. He did not speed up, and with every step, the force of the blade grew stronger. If Yu Sheng wanted to die, he would grant him his wish.
The strong gravity rules pressed on Yu Sheng's body, and Zhan Yao moved. At that moment, he seemed to have become one with the blade. He leaped and slashed in the air. There were no unnecessary movements, and there were no fancy blade techniques. The Void-shattering Blade cut through the air.
As the blade fell, a crack appeared in the air, as if it was a straight line. The thousand-meter flash of the blade swept across the forum stage and slashed down. Everything under the flash of the blade was cut in half.
"Is he crazy?" Many could not help but exclaim. Yu Sheng did not move, watching the blade coming down.
The Void-shattering Blade was so fast that many could not bear to watch. It was as if they could foresee the bloody scene of Yu Sheng being cut in half.
However, at that moment, a terrifying aura emanated from Yu Sheng's body. He raised his left arm and blocked the trajectory of the blade.
The blade did not stop. Zhan Yao's murderous intent was terrifying. The blade would first cut off Yu Sheng's arm and then cut him in half.
A sharp, ear-piercing sound rang out. Zhan Yao didn't feel the knife cutting through flesh and blood. Instead, he felt an extremely strong force blocking his knife. He looked down and saw Yu Sheng's elbow blocking the edge of the knife. The bone-chilling knife didn't cut off Yu Sheng's arm as easily as he had imagined, nor did it kill Yu Sheng on the spot.
Dark golden aura of rules flowed on Yu Sheng's arm and covered his entire body like a ferocious armor. The power of rules seemed to have become one with his body. The surrounding aura flowed into Yu Sheng's body in a frenzy, and the light of the armor of rules grew more and more terrifying.
Zhan Yao's blade was unable to move at all.
The hearts of many trembled violently. Using his arm, his body, to block the Void-shattering Blade?
Crack. Kong Yao clenched his fists and his expression changed, turning grim in an instant.
He, of course, knew what the scene meant. When the genius of Zhisheng Cliffs, Zhan Yao, could not even break through Yu Sheng's defenses, how could such a battle continue?
Zhan Yao, of course, understood as well. His previous confidence and frivolity were crushed in an instant. He stared at the scene before him and felt an unprecedented blow to his heart.
He knew his blade techniques. Even if it were a sage, who would dare to take his blade like that?
But Yu Sheng did it.
Just when he was stunned, Yu Sheng's elbow moved forward along the edge of his blade. He then bent his palm and grabbed Zhan Yao's wrist that was holding the blade. Zhan Yao came to his senses and wanted to retreat, but he felt that the power that grabbed his wrist was unable to move him at all. His body hung in the air, unable to move an inch.
Yu Sheng's right hand moved at that moment as well. He lifted it and smashed it forward.
The wind howled and dark golden light shone brilliantly, going for Zhan Yao's body along with his arm.
Many people's hearts tightened as they stared at the scene before them.
Boom!
Without any suspense, Yu Sheng's fist smashed into Zhan Yao's chest. The sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly. Even his internal organs were shattered. Zhan Yao arched his body slightly, and the will of the fist penetrated his back. It was as if the fist had pierced through his body.
His body was sent flying and he spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air before falling to the ground.
The vast area was silent. Countless people looked at Zhan Yao, who was lying on the ground, spitting blood continuously. Zhan Yao looked at the sky in a daze, his eyes lifeless. He knew that his body had been completely shattered. Even if he did not die, he would be crippled. He felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
He had cultivated to such a level and become the pride of Zhisheng Cliffs. Why did his first battle end like this?
One punch. It was just one punch.
That punch did not only land on Zhan Yao's body, but also on Zhisheng Cliffs' face. Kong Yao and Qin Zhong looked extremely embarrassed.
Other than Ye Futian, no one had noticed Yu Sheng before, but he was actually this terrifying.
Yu Sheng did not look at Zhan Yao. Of course, he could feel Zhan Yao's murderous intent toward him. Zhan Yao wanted revenge, but Yu Sheng was also reminded of the bloody scene at Taihang Mountain. Many of the golden apes on Taihang Mountain had died. Even he and Ye Futian had almost been killed by Zhan Xiao on Taihang Mountain.
As such, he would not go easy on that punch.
Thud. The sound of footsteps was heard, and many people turned their eyes back to Yu Sheng. They saw him walking forward, one step at a time.
It was Xu Shi of Xihua Sacred Mountain of the Eastern State.
Before this, Xu Shi had said that he wanted Yu Sheng to be the first to be eliminated.
