As soon as Xu Que's voice landed, the eyes of everyone on the grandstands fell upon him.
Xu Que challenged Zhou Yan of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
In the last battle, Zhou You had defeated Phoenix, a mighty one from the Barren State. Xu Que was obviously aiming for that battle, going against the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
However, Zhou Yan's strength was not weak, and could even be said to be very strong. Whether Xu Que, who specialized in killing power and rules of darkness, could defeat Zhou Yan was up in the air.
At that moment, Zhou Yan's eyes also fell upon Xu Que. He stepped forward, his golden phoenix patterned robe billowing in the wind, and his temperament was soaring.
The Barren State had seven people in the top 100, and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had four. The first two battles were between the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Barren State. The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, so how could they lose to someone from the Barren State?
In the grandstands of the Eastern State, the Sky Saint looked at the Great Zhou Sacred King and smiled. "Great Zhou Sacred King, who do you think will win this battle?"
The Great Zhou Sacred King looked at the two people on the forum stage with an indifferent expression. He exuded the majesty of a ruler and said calmly, "Zhou Yan, of course."
"Is that so?" The Sky Saint smiled and said, "You are very confident, Great Zhou Sacred King."
Although he did not have any disciples participating in the Nine State Forum, he still felt that it was quite interesting.
Zhou You was the strongest among the disciples of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty participating in the Nine State Forum. He had challenged Phoenix of the Barren State in the first battle, but he had not expected the Barren State's people to be so unyielding, challenging the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty right away. As such, it gave the impression that the previous battles had become a battle between the disciples of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
It would be fine if the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty won, but if they lost, it would not look good on the Great Zhou Sacred King.
Zhou You's strength was naturally very strong, but it should not be forgotten that Xu Que was not the strongest person in the Barren State. Yu Sheng had not even fought yet. If this battle continued, what would the situation be like?
Thinking of this, the Sky Saint chuckled, feeling a little excited. Watching these juniors fight was quite interesting.
Not only the Great Zhou Sacred King, but the great figures on the grandstands were also watching the battle with great interest.
First it was Zhisheng Cliffs, then it was the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
"Holy Zhi Palace, Xu Que." A lazy voice rang out. Xu Que was standing there casually, as if he was not a threat. However, his previous battle had left a deep impression on everyone. He was able to hide in the shadows and kill people invisibly. If it was a battle of life and death, he might not be the strongest, but he would definitely be the most dangerous.
"Zhou Yan."
A cold and forceful voice was uttered from Zhou Yan's mouth. The silhouette of the Golden Phoenix appeared in a flash. Like Zhou You, his body was bathed in the light of golden flames.
The descendants of the imperial family of the Sacred Dynasty had awakened the bloodline of the Golden Phoenix and possessed an innate talent that was extremely frightening.
Golden flames swept through the space in an instant, and the aura bursting from Zhou Yan's body burned everything in its path. The cry of a phoenix was heard, and a golden phoenix's silhouette was seen charging at Xu Que at breakneck speed, as if intending to drown Xu Que in golden flames.
Buzz … An incomparably violent aura descended in an instant, engulfing the entire space. The phoenix swooped down, but in that place, only a grey shadow appeared, and Xu Que's body disappeared.
Everyone's eyes stared in the direction where the shadow had gone. They saw streaks of grey aura being drawn out on the forum stage. Xu Que's silhouette was elongated, as if he was everywhere.
A grey aura flowed in that space, surrounding Zhou Yan's body. The space gradually darkened, as if the entire space was about to be melded into the shadows.
"The power of the rules of darkness." Everyone's eyes were fixed on the battlefield, as if they wanted to see clearly. While the rules of light and darkness did not have any direct offensive power, they had always been one of the most fearsome rules, especially for those who could use them perfectly, as they could bring the power of rules to the limit.
At that moment, Xu Que seemed to have melded into that dark space, without a trace of his aura. Even many sages who were not of a high plane were unable to tell where he was.
Zhou Yan was in the shadows, bathing in endless golden light. The shadow of the phoenix grew larger and larger, illuminating the space and trying to penetrate the darkness.
However, when the dazzling screen of phoenix light seeped into the darkness, the light was drowned right away, melding into the darkness and disappearing.
The light of the golden flames was not the power of rules, and it was naturally unable to penetrate the rules of darkness.
The cry of the phoenix grew even louder, and the golden fiery feathers trembled violently. Zhou Yan's body slowly floated in the air. Streaks of golden light seemed to burst from his body, shooting towards the dark space around him. Everyone saw the streaks of golden light penetrating right away, and they were surprised. The attack had obviously penetrated into the dark space, intending to kill Xu Que, who was hiding within it.
Voom. A huge dark aura whizzed towards Zhou Yan like a dark silhouette, and terrifying killing aura emanated from it. Zhou Yan turned around and his wings trembled, flapping them forward. Golden fiery feathers imbued with unparalleled destructive power burst forward, piercing the dark aura that was whizzing towards him.
The dark aura exploded right away, and killing aura emanated from within, but there was no sign of Xu Que.
At the same time, in the dark space of the Sword of Heaven and Earth, an extremely strong sense of danger emanated all of a sudden. Killing aura wandered in the darkness, seemingly about to coalesce into a storm of killing.
Zhou Yan looked at the darkening space and frowned slightly. The dark aura intended to drown him completely. Once he was caught in the darkness, he would lose without a doubt.
The dazzling wings flapped even more rapidly, and a hurricane swept out, accompanied by golden lightning. A golden phoenix appeared in the battlefield, charging straight into the darkness. Terrifying golden flames burned the darkness, intending to break out. However, the moment it charged into the darkness, Zhou Yan's eyes were unable to see clearly. There was only darkness, and even his spiritual will was unable to penetrate the darkness, only able to cover a small area around him. He had no choice but to press forward.
An extremely strong sense of danger descended upon him, and thousands of killing auras descended at the same time. The wings flapped violently, and an intense golden light shot from its body, clashing with the killing auras.
However, at that moment, Zhou Yan's hair stood on end, and he felt a bone-chilling cold. It was an instinct.
In the darkness, an extremely cold sword landed on his body. Zhou Yan's body seemed to have been clad in phoenix armor, but the silent sword burst with the most powerful killing will at that moment. The killing auras in the darkness all coalesced into a single sword, tearing the armor to pieces.
Zhou Yan felt a bone-chilling cold all over him, and he could clearly feel the killing aura rushing into his body.
"I surrender." Zhou Yan reacted extremely quickly and shouted. Regardless of whether Xu Que dared to make a move or not, he would not gamble.
As soon as he said that, the dark aura dissipated right away. Zhou Yan's body fell from it, landing on the ground pathetically. His entire body was shrouded in a layer of dark aura, and he was no longer as dazzling as before.
"Cough …"
With a light cough, Zhou Yan spat out a mouthful of black blood. He raised his head and stared at the figure that had landed before him.
At that moment, Xu Que had regained his lazy demeanor, and he seemed to not care at all.
"Zhou Yan is very powerful, but he was completely suppressed in this battle. He had no chance to bring his powers to bear at all." Many were shocked as they watched the battlefield. That was the rule of darkness, and Xu Que was able to use it very well.
On the grandstands, the Sky Saint smiled and looked at the Great Zhou Sacred King. At that moment, the Great Zhou Sacred King was also staring at the battlefield, and his eyes fell on Xu Que.
In that battle, Zhou Yan, a descendant of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's royal family, had lost.
Furthermore, it was a complete defeat.
While Zhou You had been able to crush Phoenix, he had still been injured by her attacks, and Zhou Yan had not even touched Xu Que.
Furthermore, Zhou You was the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's strongest participant in the battle. With such a comparison, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty seemed rather awkward.
After the elder announced the results, Xu Que walked back to the Barren State's side and looked up at Phoenix, who had gone to the grandstands where Ye Futian was. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he looked rather proud.
Phoenix looked at him and pursed her lips into a smile.
"You're showing off," Ye Futian said with a chuckle. However, Xu Que's battle was considered to have helped Phoenix vent her anger.
"Continue."
At that moment, the elder's voice was heard, and another figure walked out, causing many to look interested. The one who walked out for that battle was still someone from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
And his eyes were still on the remaining six from the Barren State.
"This …"
Many people had different expressions on their faces. The battle of the top hundred had just begun, and both sides were already at each other's throats.
However, this was to be expected. The Nine State Forum was originally a battle between holy lands, and it was inevitable that they would be at each other's throats. Who among the holy lands did not have pride?
"I challenge Hua Jieyu of the Barren State," a voice was heard. This time, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's challenger was the wife of the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
Hua Jieyu walked out calmly, and the other five glanced at each other coldly. From their eyes, everyone understood that after this battle, it would still be a battle between the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Barren State. Furthermore, if Yu Sheng were to fight in the next battle, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty would almost certainly lose.
As such, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had to win this battle. Otherwise, it would be four battles and three losses, and they would be crushed by the Barren State. Not only that, if they were to lose, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty would only have one person left in the top 50, Zhou You, while the Barren State would have at least three.
