Elder Qin nodded, indicating that he understood. The Old Man and Old Woman Qin reluctantly clasped their hands and returned to their camp, giving out the latest orders.
For those with lower cultivations, this was already a great fortune. Everyone's gazes fell on the three captains because they were the strongest, and everyone's hopes were placed on them.
Gu Zheng also heard this news. Relatively speaking, this shouldn't be a problem because if they were to engage in a chaotic battle, there wouldn't be many people left. The best case scenario would be for everyone to defeat one person from the other side without losing too much.
For the second battle, they would be slightly weaker than the other side and admit defeat in a timely manner, using such a dirty tactic.
Otherwise, how could he have defeated five people consecutively? Even if his opponents were slightly weaker, there was a limit to it. How could anyone who had reached this step be a simple character? Gu Zheng tossed a few more medicinal pills into his mouth and hastened his absorption.
Gu Zheng had a premonition that he might be placed on the list as well. He only had three people on his side, so why would they send five? Perhaps the traitor had already passed on information about him, so the biggest suspect would be Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng thought back to the battle two days ago.
What Gu Zheng could think of, everyone here could think of as well, even if they were a bit slower. Seeing everyone looking at the three people in front of them with complicated expressions, they all realized that they were handing their lives over to them.
If they failed, then 40 of their companions would die without any value. To them, the pressure was like a heavy mountain pressing down on them.
"Good luck, just do your best." Madam Qin comforted them one by one, afraid that she would disturb them. "Ji Yi, you'll be the first one to go up. How about it?"
"No problem, Elder, I've already made my preparations." Ji Yi had long since prepared himself. As the captain of the second team, he had to be the first one to go up.
"Mm, good luck." Madam Qin didn't dare to look at Ji Yi, afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back in the next moment.
Asura's side reacted quite enthusiastically when they heard this news. For most people, watching this kind of life and death battle would also help them improve, and it would all depend on their own comprehension.
Even though the five of them had a grudge against each other, they wouldn't show it at this moment. They had already decided on the order, so there was no need to fight.
After both sides were done with their arrangements, Ou Yangping and You Xing each took out a half-bowl-shaped magic weapon. They gave one to Sir Hao and the other to Elder Qin. Both sides activated this magic weapon together. Soon, an incomparably huge transparent protective shield was formed.
Everyone had retreated to the edge of the forest. The protective barrier was mainly used to prevent the energy from leaking out from the fight inside. After all, there were many people with lower cultivation levels outside, so they wouldn't be accidentally injured.
The protective shield only covered an area of a few square kilometers. It wasn't very big. After all, it was similar to an arena battle. They couldn't escape, so there was no need for such a large space.
After both sides were ready, Ji Yi slowly walked into the protective shield with a simple and unadorned long spear in his hand. It was the treasure of Ji Yi's sect. Ji Yi was also an elder of his sect. He wasn't young anymore, and his face looked somewhat weathered. He had seen countless things along the way, so this kind of battle couldn't shake his heart at all.
Sheng Bo also walked into the protective shield without hesitation when his opponent came in. A gloomy and cold aura surrounded his body. He held a pair of blood-red gloves in his hands, and a green shield extended to his shoulders. Looking at his opponent who was fully focused, he didn't dare to be careless. He was fully armed and waited for the battle to begin.
At this moment, Wu Xiaofeng muttered to himself outside, "I'll go first. I'm also very good at close combat. Otherwise, Brother Ji will be at a disadvantage."
Hua Long glanced at Wu Xiaofeng, "You? You're not even as good as Ji Yi."
Wu Xiaofeng was embarrassed. He knew that Hua Long was speaking the truth. His opponent was clearly much stronger than him, unlike him, who had relied on brute force to reach this point.
The protective shield overflowed with light, completely sealing off the surroundings. No one here could break through the defense of the four Grand Immortal Realm experts.
"Ji Yi."
"Sheng Bo."
After exchanging names, both sides each took one side. There was a wide road between them, but everyone could see the movements of the other side clearly.
Ji Yi looked at Sheng Bo's face. It was the iconic face of an Asura. It wasn't as ugly as the rumors said, but it was still ugly in other people's eyes. He recalled the scene of flames soaring into the sky.
His grip on his spear tightened. Ji Yi slowly closed his eyes. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the scene before he was captured.
"Elder, elder, it's not good. The Asura army is coming." A disciple with a blood-red face rushed in.
"What?" Ji Yi picked up his weapon and looked at the flames all over the mountain. The screams before death were endless. He didn't know how many enemies he had killed that day. Unfortunately, most of them were vassal races under the Asura. In the end, he was ambushed by a few Asura experts and fell unconscious. When he woke up again, he was already here.
He thought about how thousands of people had died. His favorite grandson's eyes were still flashing in front of him. It was as if he was blaming his grandfather for not saving him. Wasn't his grandfather the strongest?
There was an indescribable pain in his heart. It was as if a hand was tightly gripping his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
He thought that he had forgotten it, but that nightmare still haunted him. Here, his companions died one by one in front of him, but he couldn't avenge them. This damned world.
Endless hatred surged in his heart. He had forty companions behind him. He couldn't let them die like his fellow disciples because of him. Absolutely! No! Allowed! Allowed!
Originally, Sheng Bo had underestimated the other party. At first glance, he knew that the other party was like the group of people in his race who were stuck at this step. They would never move forward and had no future. However, he still had an unlimited future.
However, as seconds passed, an indescribable desolation surged from Ji Yi's body. It seemed to be telling the sorrow of its master. The clothes on his body fluttered without any wind, and a terrifying feeling floated from Ji Yi's body.
Ji Yi would let everyone know how terrifying Ji Yi was when he went all out. Finally, Ji Yi opened his slightly confused eyes. A shocking light shot out from his eyes. Sheng Bo looked straight at him and actually saw his own death in them.
"Humph, what's the use of having a strong aura? I'll let you see what the gap is."
To be honest, Sheng Bo was still a little shocked. He hypnotized himself in his heart to ignore the impact that it had on him.
Although the flaw disappeared in a flash, who was Ji Yi? He instantly leaped up with the long spear in his hand. The long distance was covered in a flash. In the next second, the shining spearhead pierced through the void and flew toward Planet Sheng Bo.
When he came in, the battle had already begun.
In the face of this lightning strike, Sheng Bo did not panic. Suddenly, Sheng Bo's body swayed back and forth like a floating leaf. He swayed back and forth along with the airflow brought by the spear, making Ji Yi unable to determine his position at all.
Sheng Bo's body shook violently and disappeared in front of Ji Yi. He appeared on Ji Yi's left like a ghost. A pair of boxing gloves fiercely punched toward Ji Yi's waist.
Seeing Sheng Bo disappear in front of him, Ji Yi knew that things were not good. One had to know that Shura had extraordinary talent in close combat. He was especially faster and stronger than others. Ji Yi immediately retracted the long spear. He felt a strong stab coming from his left. He raised the long spear and twisted his body, blocking the punch.
When the two collided, there was a loud sound of metal clashing. Ji Yi was directly sent flying by the turbulent force.
Sheng Bo's body flashed with a black light. He left an afterimage where he was and chased after Ji Yi. It was impolite not to move forward. Ji Yi stabbed the void repeatedly, forming illusory long spears. They shot toward Sheng Bo like sharp arrows to stop him.
This kind of attack might be a little effective on other people, but in front of him, Sheng Bo just punched the long spears one by one. His body did not slow down and continued to rush forward.
Ji Yi waited until the force on his body disappeared before he controlled his body to stop. He realized that this person's level was really on par with his.
Seeing that the illusory long spears were not effective, he immediately reached out and waved the long spear. He made the first move. White lotus flowers kept blooming in the air. They spun and flew toward Sheng Bo.
Sheng Bo was stimulated by the energy of the lotus flowers. He felt as if his face was being pricked by needles. He quickly stopped his forward body and punched the lotus flowers flying toward him. There was a constant cracking sound in the air. It was the sound of the lotus flowers shattering.
The sky full of lotus flowers blocked Sheng Bo's line of sight. Ji Yi stretched out the long spear from the side and fiercely whipped. With the help of the short acceleration, he directly whipped Sheng Bo.
Sheng Bo had just missed all the lotus flowers. He did not expect to be attacked from the side. There was no time to defend. He quickly dodged to the side, wanting to rely on his speed to dodge. He did not expect the long spear to be faster. He could not dodge at all. Sheng Bo was whipped away like a meteor.
Ji Yi did not chase after him. Although he had hit the other party, the other party's muscles had tightened and relaxed. Most of the force had been offset and did not cause much damage.
Sheng Bo saw that the other party did not chase after him. Instead, he cautiously stopped in place. The follow-up attack that he had prepared for him dissipated. When he was about to land on the ground, he adjusted his body.
The test was over. It was time to have a good look at the other party's spear skills.
Outside the arena, Gu Zheng's cheers shook the heavens. When everyone saw that they had gained the upper hand, they felt even more encouraged. Outside, no sound could be heard. It was like watching a silent movie, so most people had no idea how much had happened in such a short period of time.
Only those who had reached a certain level of strength would understand. Elder Qin's face was solemn. He was ready to rescue at any time.
On the other hand, Master Hao's side was much more relaxed. He was even chatting and laughing with the people beside him. When he heard the commotion over there, he could not help but curl his lips. "Sigh, some people are just blindly cheering as if they are sure to win. Who knows what will happen in the end, right?"
"Yes, this is just the beginning. It's just an appetizer. Look at our side. In comparison, some people are too immature," You Xing echoed.
They did not avoid Elder Qin at all. Hearing their words, Elder Qin's face became even angrier. He could only stare intently inside, hoping that Ji Yi would show his ability to defeat the other party.
Only victory could shut everyone's mouths.
There were still many people cheering for Ji Yi outside the arena. Even if he could not hear them, they still hoped that he would continue to work hard to defeat the other party in one fell swoop.
Everything outside the arena had nothing to do with what was inside. Sheng Bo's fists collided with each other, emitting a huge sound wave. The metal gloves on his fingertips lit up little by little with red light. He walked ferociously towards Ji Yi step by step.
Sheng Bo was like a heavy mountain. With every step he took, he would leave a footprint. The invisible aura also increased with each step.
Ji Yi knew that he could not let the other party continue to accumulate power. He brandished the long spear in his hand and approached him at high speed. Balls of spear light went straight towards Sheng Bo.
Sheng Bo sneered. He also shot out rays of red light from his hand. They disappeared when they collided with the other party's spear light. He said sarcastically, "Is that all you have? You disappoint me."
Ji Yi was furious. He did not speak, but his speed increased. He raised the long spear diagonally and aimed it at Sheng Bo's head. Like a knight charging forward, he rushed forward with a courageous aura.
Seeing that the other party had seen through his trick, Sheng Bo did not hide it. A three-meter-tall shadow flashed on his body. A six-armed Sheng Bo roared above his head. He held different weapons in his hands: a knife, a sword, a hammer, a whip, and a shield. He waved them back and forth.
This way, the other party could have several weapons aimed at him at the same time. Ji Yi was not afraid and continued to speed up. As he went faster and faster, the spear gave off a bright light, giving off a resplendent glow.
This light made Sheng Bo feel very uncomfortable. He felt as if he had been pierced from the inside out. He controlled the shadow's shield to meet the attack, and the other five weapons smashed towards the other party's face.
At the same time, Sheng Bo's eyes suddenly became blood-red, the same color as his gloves. At this moment, within the gloves, each of his fingertips raised a finger light. They were like miniature daggers that constantly spat out. His entire body turned into a ray of light and rushed towards Ji Yi. Every finger light tore through the air, grabbing towards Ji Yi's chest.
At some point, a shield had appeared in Ji Yi's other hand. It flickered with a golden light and directly blocked Sheng Bo's palm. A huge force entered Ji Yi's body through the shield. His body shook and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, but Ji Yi forcibly swallowed it back down. He raised his spear and easily smashed the other party's shield and the weapon behind it. The spear pierced through the other party's chest, leaving a bowl-sized hole. The real shadow was directly shattered and disappeared.
The two of them passed by each other. Sheng Bo's incomplete spell had been broken and he spat out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash. Ji Yi's internal organs had been shaken out of place by that powerful force. He was also heavily injured. Both of them had suffered some internal injuries and were barely able to fight to a draw.
The two of them recovered a bit and rushed towards each other at the same time. They both had the idea of quickly finishing each other off.
Sheng Bo relied on his speed to hit the other party's vitals. Every time he attacked, he would set off waves of wind blades. Red light flickered back and forth in the air.
Although Ji Yi's spear wasn't as fast as the other party, every thrust of his spear forced the other party to defend. The sky was filled with white lotuses.
Light flickered on the two of them. They had already used all their defensive measures. In just a few short exchanges, the two of them no longer had any defensive shields. They both realized that if they focused on that, it would be very difficult to defeat the other party.
Following that, the battle reached its climax. The two of them continued to roll around, from the extreme left to the extreme right. Wherever they went, the ground cracked, flipped, and moved. Their fists and feet left afterimages, and strong winds surged.
Everyone was watching too much for their eyes. One of them had the upper hand, and the other had the upper hand. The white aura and the red torrent kept colliding, flashing brilliantly.
This made the people on Gu Zheng's side tremble in fear. No one was sure that Ji Yi would win.
Although Gu Zheng closed his eyes to recover, he still heard the worried words next to him. He knew that this battle was not going to be easy. He was afraid that his initial wish of defeating the two of them alone would not come true. The other party was not an ordinary person.
Wherever the two of them went, sand and stones would fly and dust would cover the sky. From time to time, a spear aura would soar into the sky, blowing away all the surrounding wind and sand, revealing two tragic situations.
On Shura's side, everyone was even more fascinated. It was as if they were already in the middle of a great battle. They couldn't wait to go up and fight.
The two of them separated again. Now, both of their clothes were tattered and their faces were abnormally pale.
Sheng Bo's eyes no longer had the initial arrogance. Now, there was a bloody hole in his left leg that was constantly bleeding. The spear aura in it was constantly preventing it from healing. His body was full of wounds of all sizes.
"Old man, you're quite powerful." Sheng Bo panted heavily. He had to admit that this old man was indeed difficult to deal with.
However, Ji Yi was not much better. In contrast, Ji Yi's fatigue was even more obvious. The high-intensity battle had caused Ji Yi to consume more immortal qi. His face twitched unconsciously. The injuries in his body were more serious than his opponent's. However, it didn't look that serious on the surface.
"Humph, junior, do you know that your demeanor was very annoying just now? Now, it's even more annoying. You're just a little kid who's still wet behind the ears. Who are you trying to show off to? Do you think you're very powerful? I know that there are people outside who are more powerful than you at this age. You're still far from them. "Ji Yi mocked. He took advantage of the time to recover his strength.
"You … You're courting death!" Among the younger generation, who didn't give in to Sheng Bo? Even those who were older than him had never said such unbearable words to him. He was actually looked down upon. This made Sheng Bo lose his face. The veins on his forehead bulged a few times.
"What's wrong? You come out to play every time your milk is cut off. If you're unhappy, go home. Don't cry here." Ji Yi struck while the iron was hot and continued to attack Sheng Bo's heart.
"Do you only know how to argue? It seems that your age has been wasted." Sheng Bo replied, not to be outdone. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"My mind is in a mess." Sir Hao said in a regretful tone. "Just a few words and you've become impatient. It seems that you still lack experience."
