If all three of them made it into the top nine, the clan would gain points. If all three of them made it into the top nine, the clan would most likely win first place.
Moreover, there was a restriction to the drawing of lots. People from the same clan wouldn't be drawn together. So, as long as all three of them defeated each other, they would advance to the next round.
"Next, I will announce the duel. The Ancient Spider Mother of the Tianyuan Clan versus Mu Tianhuo of the Firespirit Clan."
This would be another duel without any suspense.
No matter who the Ancient Spider Mother faced, she would defeat her opponent with one move. Especially in the knockout rounds, many disciples would surrender to the Ancient Spider Mother. There was no need to continue the fight.
Compared to the Triple-Shattering Realm, the Quadruple Shattering Realm was more than ten times stronger. Anyone with brains wouldn't be stupid enough to fight a Quadruple Shattering Realm expert.
In everyone's eyes, the Ancient Spider Mother had already secured first place and would bring 10 points to the Tianyuan Clan.
"I surrender!"
Mu Tianhuo, dressed in a fiery robe, surrendered before even entering the ring. He knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't defeat the Ancient Spider Mother. Naturally, he wouldn't go into the ring looking for trouble.
Protector Gu Meng announced again.
"Qi Tiandi of the Dragonblood Clan versus Qi Tiansheng of the Qitian Pavilion!"
Everyone had seen Qi Tiandi's strength. Although he was also in the Triple-Shattering Realm, he wasn't too outstanding. As for Qi Tiansheng, he was a super expert of the Qi Tiansheng Pavilion. The fact that he could overcome all obstacles and make it to the top 18 was enough to prove that he was extraordinary.
However, Qi Tiandi still managed to defeat Qi Tiansheng with a slight advantage, which caused a commotion among the experts of the various sects.
In fact, Qi Tiandi's strength was far more than that. He hadn't used the Defying Fate Energy yet. Once he did, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds. The Defying Fate Protector's strength would only increase when he could truly communicate with the Defying Fate Energy.
Moreover, using the Defying Fate Energy wasn't the effect of the Defying Fate Energy. Instead, it was a technique of the Defying Fate Protector to increase his strength.
Of course, this was all Ye Mo's instructions. He had asked Qi Tiandi to hide his strength from the start. Among the three of them, Qi Tiandi was the only one who could defeat the Ancient Spider Mother. Therefore, Qi Tiandi would be the true dark horse.
If they really fought, Ye Mo was confident that he could defeat the Ancient Spider Mother. Qi Tiandi was even more confident that he could defeat this person.
The next battle was between Fen Lingzi of the Fire Spirit Sect and an expert of the Heart End Valley. Fen Lingzi directly used the Heavenly Dragon Scale Fire, which also caused the crowd to cheer. He defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the next round.
Now that the three battles had ended, the Ancient Spider Mother, Qi Tiandi, and Fen Lingzi had successfully advanced to the next round. There were still twelve people left, and the competition was getting more and more intense.
The next battle was between the Dragonblood Sect's Ming Zhenwu and a disciple of the Sword Dao Sect. Ming Zhenwu also advanced with a slight advantage.
This time, the entire crowd burst into an uproar.
That was because two of the Dragonblood Sect's disciples had already advanced into the top nine, as well as the powerful Zhan Haotian. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhan Haotian would also advance.
"The Dragonblood Sect's Zhan Haotian versus the Tianyuan Sect's Tiewu Mountain."
When Gu Tianyuan announced this duel, Gu Tianyuan's expression immediately changed.
The Ancient Spider Mother sensed Gu Tianyuan's abnormality and asked, "Gu Tianyuan, what's wrong?"
"Mother Gu, Zhan Haotian has fought no less than ten battles with Tie Wushan. Zhan Haotian has won nine out of ten battles. Therefore, it is very likely that Tie Wushan will be eliminated in this battle."
Gu Tianyuan's expression was extremely ugly. If Tie Wushan was eliminated, it meant that the Tianyuan Sect would only have two people in the top ten, while the Dragonblood Sect would have three. Even if the Ancient Spider Mother obtained first place and Huangfu Dao obtained second place, the Tianyuan Sect might not be able to obtain first place.
"We must not let Zhan Haotian win this battle. Otherwise, we will have to hand over the control of Baoyue City," Gu Tianyuan's expression was extremely ugly.
"Mother Gu, don't worry.
"Mother Gu, don't panic. I still have another way. This Zhan Haotian is a stubborn fool. For the sake of the so-called three years promise, he actually went against me and refused to listen to my orders. In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
Gu Tianyuan smiled coldly. His body moved and instantly appeared in front of Zhan Haotian, blocking his path.
"Gu Tianyuan, what is the meaning of this? You want to stop the competition between our sect's experts? Could it be that you already know that Tie Wu Shan isn't a match for Zhan Haotian? "
Ye Mo immediately stood up.
"Dragonblood Martial Emperor, I just have something to say to Ceng Jin's subordinates."
Gu Tianyuan smiled as he whispered in Zhan Haotian's ear. Thereafter, he patted Zhan Haotian's shoulder and said, "You're on your own."
"You!"
Zhan Haotian shouted angrily, but he didn't say anything. He gritted his teeth and walked into the arena.
"Gu Tianyuan must have said something to threaten Zhan Haotian."
Qi Tiandi said indifferently.
"That's right. Gu Tianyuan doesn't even see Zhan Haotian as a human. Zhan Haotian is merely a tool that he uses and can be thrown away after he's done with it. To think that Zhan Haotian is so loyal and devoted to him."
Ming Zhenwu sighed and said mockingly, "But isn't it the same for me? How many elixirs did I refine for the Tianyuan Sect? The reason why the Tianyuan Sect was able to become a high-class force so quickly is because of me. But what happened in the end? "
"Let's wait and see!"
Ye Mo looked at the two people on the arena. His intuition told him that Zhan Haotian would most likely admit defeat in this battle.
Zhan Haotian stood on the Underworld Arena and glared at Gu Tianyuan. He said, "Gu Tianyuan, fine. I agree to admit defeat. But you have to let me see my wife and son and ensure their safety."
Whoosh!
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard that. They didn't expect Gu Tianyuan to use such a scheme.
"Isn't this Gu Tianyuan too despicable? He's using someone else's wife and son to threaten Zhan Haotian. "
"That's right. In the past, the Tianyuan Sect won control of Bao Yue City with their own strength. But this time, they're using such underhanded methods."
"That's because the Dragonblood Sect has become a threat to them. The Dragonblood Sect already has two people in the top nine. Once Zhan Haotian defeats Tie Wushan, the Dragonblood Sect will have a high chance of winning control of Bao Yue City. In order to defend their control, what's the use of underhanded methods?"
"Those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles."
Everyone started discussing.
Bang!
The air beneath Ye Mo's feet trembled. Hearing Zhan Haotian's words, Ye Mo was completely enraged. "Gu Tianyuan, you despicable and shameless person. Zhan Haotian is a man of indomitable spirit and righteousness. How dare you use his wife and son to threaten him? You're not fit to be a sect leader."
