The difference in strength was too great. More than 300 people were slaughtered in a short while.
Two disciples of Wangu Peak followed behind Gu Zheng. They were dumbfounded as they watched Gu Zheng kill people. Their strength was no different from those ordinary disciples. In front of Gu Zheng, they had no ability to resist.
"Fortunately, we are disciples of Wangu Peak!"
For some reason, the two disciples rejoiced. Before this, they were still upset. Wangu Peak was not bad. It was one of the top 100 peaks. However, due to the sudden disaster, it had dropped a lot.
Only the two of them were left out of the 11 participants. They had no allies. Before they came, they were very tragic. They thought they were cannon fodder and would be killed by others.
The final count of the Virtual Battlefield was not only the number of people left. If there were the same number of people left, the ranking would be based on who killed more people.
"Fight with him!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was flying in their direction, a group of more than 100 people roared. More than 100 people rushed forward, waving their immortal swords. Unfortunately, they were too weak. The two giant dragons rushed forward and scattered them easily. Then the massacre began again.
A total of more than 500 people were killed by Gu Zheng.
After the disciples who were killed came back, their peaks were furious. Unfortunately, the Sect Leader had announced that Gu Zheng's entry was valid. They could not make a fuss about it. They could only scold Changmei for being despicable and letting Jin Xian go in to kill people.
Long Eyebrows didn't care about their protests at all. He didn't want Gu Zheng to go. Their ranking in the first round would definitely be at the bottom. This would have a huge impact on their final ranking in the future. For the development of the entire peak, so what if they were scolded a little?
This was not the first time he had done something like this. When he came out of Shushan to establish Emei, he was scolded by many people. He did not care about this.
After more than 100 people, there was a group of more than 200 people in front.
More than 200 people looked at each other and flew back together. They were ready to run. They had clearly seen the scene of the two groups of people being slaughtered. If those two groups of people were not a match for them, they were even more unlikely to be.
However, they had forgotten that this was the Virtual Battlefield. Although it was huge, it was spacious and empty. There were other teams behind them. Not only that, but behind them was the third-ranked peak.
The third-ranked peak had already set up a sword array. Generally speaking, other people would not look for them. Only the top ten peaks would do so. The third-ranked peak had a total of fifty people. Although there were few people, their cultivation levels were not bad. The leader was at the Void Return Realm and was presiding over the array.
Once the array formation was set up, it would not be easy to move it. Those people ran away, but they were coming towards them. This made the person who was in charge of the array formation angry and anxious.
"Kill!"
The formation could not be broken by them. Helpless, he could only roar and lead the charge. In his hand was a purple immortal sword, a first-class immortal sword.
Fifty people against four hundred people. Just like that, they started fighting.
There were more than four hundred people, but they did not have any fighting spirit. Although fifty people were few, they had set up a first-class array formation. As soon as they started fighting, the side with fewer people actually had the advantage. Of the four hundred people, people kept disappearing.
This was especially true for the Return to Void Stage male. His purple immortal sword was constantly flying around his body. It was very difficult for those who fought against him to last more than three moves. They were either seriously injured or killed. In just a short while, he had killed more than ten people.
His power was noticed by others, and some people even nodded secretly.
Gu Zheng wanted to chase after them, but he stopped when he saw them fighting among themselves. After a short while, more than half of the four hundred people were killed. After that, they ran in other directions, and more than a dozen of the fifty people were killed. The leader of the Void Return Realm was panting heavily.
He was not as powerful as Gu Zheng, who had killed so many people and was not injured at all.
"Senior, let us go. We are willing to offer our three years of earnings to Myriad Valley Peak!"
Seeing Gu Zheng flying over, the man at the Void Return Realm hurriedly shouted. Gu Zheng stopped and seemed to be thinking.
This was the third-ranked peak. They must have gained a lot in three years. Moreover, Gu Zheng did not plan to attack them. The top three was not the goal of Myriad Valley Peak.
"Okay, but can you make the decision?"
The three years of earnings were not bad. He could give more benefits to Myriad Valley Peak. Seeing Gu Zheng agree, the man at the Void Return Realm immediately nodded. "I am the son of the Fallen Sword Peak Master. I can make the decision!"
Since he could make the decision, Gu Zheng did not insist and flew in another direction. The three years of earnings of Fallen Sword Peak could be considered a small gain.
Outside, the peak master of the Fallen Sword Peak heaved a sigh of relief. His son was indeed smart. Although he had accidentally lost a dozen people, at least he had saved the others. What he had gained in the past three years was a bit heart-wrenching, but if he could keep his ranking, it was worth it.
As for breaking the contract, he did not think about it. His son had made a promise in front of everyone. He could not and could not break the contract.
Before he finished his breath, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked to the side angrily. He spat out two words fiercely, "Despicable!"
The Return to Void Stage disciples from the fourth peak suddenly rushed over when they saw that the third peak had encountered an accident. They had just engaged in a fierce battle and almost everyone was injured. Their sword formation had also been scattered. The fourth peak suddenly launched a sneak attack, causing them to lose a few people in an instant.
The Peak Master was not the only one who was despicable. The man at the third peak was also despicable. He had no choice but to fight with his sword.
Gu Zheng was not interested in the battle between the third and fourth peak. He wanted the peaks below the eightieth rank and would not leave any of them.
Gu Zheng continued to fly forward. Those who saw him either ran away or were killed by him. In less than two hours, more than a thousand people were killed by him. There were even more people cursing Long Eyebrow outside, but Long Eyebrow ignored them.
This was especially true for their former allies. Now, their intestines were green with regret.
The Wangu Peak had Jin Xian's disciples who could participate in the battle royale. They had to keep this alliance. With Jin Xian, they could guarantee that they would not lose and could keep all their disciples.
Unfortunately, because of their petty calculations, this opportunity was lost. Their disciples also became the targets of Gu Zheng.
More than a thousand people had been killed by Gu Zheng. The other thousand people were killed by their own battle royale. Gu Zheng was killing people, but the others did not stay still. The most miserable one was the third peak. They were attacked by the fourth peak. In the end, all of them were killed, including the man at the Void Return Realm.
The man at the Void Return Realm was indeed powerful. He fought against opponents at the Void Return Realm and five cultivators at the late stage of the Soul Formation Realm alone. Even so, he resisted for 15 minutes before he was killed.
All the people at the third peak disappeared just like that. The peak master was angry and resentful. They had failed, but they had to give back what they had promised to the Wangu Peak. He vented his anger on the fourth peak. He already knew that the fourth peak wanted to replace them and become the third peak.
There were two hours left. Gu Zheng calculated that there were still many people to kill. Therefore, he did not waste any more time and quickly flew over.
The battlefield was very big, but it was also very small. For ordinary people, it would take them less than four hours to run around the battlefield. However, for immortals, it would not take long to fly from one side to the other.
Gu Zheng was even faster. There was no way to escape in the spacious battlefield. Those who were targeted by him would basically be killed.
"Senior, we are also willing to give the Wangu Peak three years' worth of earnings!"
Gu Zheng was flying forward when a group of people in front of him suddenly shouted. This was the seventh peak. Seeing Gu Zheng flying over, they were frightened and hurriedly shouted.
They knew that they were no match for Gu Zheng. When they saw Gu Zheng flying in their direction, they immediately followed the example of the third peak and begged for mercy.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly and left directly. The people at the seventh peak heaved a sigh of relief. This fiend had finally left. If he really wanted to start a massacre here, none of them would be able to stop him.
Gu Zheng was a little tempted by the two peak masters' three years' worth of earnings. He suddenly flew toward a small group of more than sixty people.
This group of more than sixty people was where the first peak was located.
"Senior, we are also willing to give the Wangu Peak three years' worth of earnings!"
Before Gu Zheng arrived, the leader of the first peak, a Void Return cultivator, shouted. He had seen how terrifying Gu Zheng was with his own eyes. Although they had more than sixty people and a sword formation, they were not confident that they could stop him.
Gu Zheng nodded again and turned to leave. After a while, the second, fifth, thirteenth, fifteenth, and twenty-seventh peaks all gave their promises. Gu Zheng was like a robber. Three years' worth of earnings from one peak, another peak, and in a short while, he had taken the earnings of more than thirty peaks.
With more than thirty peaks added together, they had more than a hundred years' worth of earnings. Moreover, these were all peaks that were better than the Wangu Peak. The earnings of more than a hundred years were comparable to the earnings of the Wangu Peak for nearly two hundred years. This was a small additional fortune.
"Kill!"
The people from the seventh summit suddenly charged towards the sixth summit. They had lost three years' worth of gains, so they had to think of a way to get it back from other places. The sixth summit only had one more person than them. As long as they had more people than the sixth summit, they would be able to move up in the rankings.
The eighth peak behind them had two fewer people than them. As long as they maintained their position, they would be able to maintain their advantage.
The people at the seventh peak had a good idea. Unfortunately, there were many people who had the same idea. Soon, the scene became chaotic. Many people from the peaks were fighting.
At this moment, there were no fights. They were only chatting with a few peaks.
Gu Zheng was still chasing after them. He had killed close to two thousand people. In other words, half of the people today were killed by him.
Kill all the peaks ranked after eighty. This was the mission given to him by Long Eyebrows. It was also something he had to do.
He did not care about the chaotic battle on the scene. This was a chaotic battlefield. He only chased after those who were ranked eighty and above before killing them. After more than an hour, all the fish that had escaped the net had been cleaned up by him. He had finally completed Long Eyebrows' task.
There were less than a thousand people left on the battlefield. Even the people at the first peak had joined in the chaotic battle. They had no choice. In a chaotic battle, no one could care about each other. One of the peaks that had been defeated took the lead and rushed toward them, leading them into the battlefield.
The first peak lived up to its name. More than a hundred people rushed in from the chaotic battle. It did not take long for them to kill all of them. They only lost five people. This demonstrated their powerful combat strength.
"Unite, unite!"
Several people from the peaks shouted. They did not have so many allies, but the situation was too chaotic. They were forced to find allies on the battlefield. A few peaks joined forces temporarily and immediately retaliated against the other peaks.
At this moment, Gu Zheng stopped and watched their chaotic battle.
They did not know that the peaks ranked below eighty were no longer on the battlefield.
"Martial Uncle Gu, help us. After this, we will give Wan Gufeng ten years' worth of gains!"
A disciple from the peak suddenly shouted to Gu Zheng. Their opponents were shocked and looked at Gu Zheng in a hurry.
Everyone knew how powerful Gu Zheng was. If Gu Zheng really agreed, they would be the unlucky ones.
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. He refused.
He could promise not to fight them, but he definitely could not promise to help. No matter how much they offered, he would not agree. He was very clear about this. His strength was like a bug. If he went too far, he would attract the dissatisfaction of the big shots outside.
Quit while you are ahead. Gu Zheng was very clear about this.
Seeing that Gu Zheng did not agree, their opponents finally felt relieved. Otherwise, they would have discussed giving Wan Gufeng benefits to rope in Gu Zheng. It was better that Gu Zheng did not agree. They did not have to take out these things.
However, they hated their enemies even more. They actually wanted to drag Jin Xian to fight them. They must not let them go.
Gu Zheng flew to the side with two disciples of Wan Gufeng and stood quietly on the battlefield. The two disciples had killed several people today. They were all seriously injured by Gu Zheng and could not move. They went to kill them.
Killing them was also their achievement. In this chaotic battlefield, the two of them could be said to be the most relaxed people. They did not contribute much at all.
"The difference in strength is too big. It is not something that can be made up with numbers!"
An elder suddenly sighed and said. The others also nodded silently. They all thought of the East Sea Devil Slaying Mission.
In the East Sea Devil Slaying Mission, that devil had broken through to Daluo Jinxian. His strength had skyrocketed. He was much stronger than the Devil Slayers. In addition, the devil technique he cultivated was very vicious. That was why so many Devil Slayers were killed by him. At that time, did they think that tens of thousands of people could not compete with one person? However, when they saw Gu Zheng killing people like cutting melons on the chaotic battlefield, they understood that sometimes, tens of thousands of people could not compete with one person.
According to legend, in ancient times, when the Demon King rebelled, the Bull Demon King blew away 100,000 celestial soldiers with a wave of his fan. When the difference in strength was too big, numbers could not make up for the disadvantage.
Shushan had always been proud of having hundreds of thousands of immortal disciples. Now, it seemed that they had to wake up a little. A true expert would not put so many of them in his eyes. Only the stronger their higher-ups were, the higher their status would be.
In this way, they would pay more attention to those genius disciples. Only they would have a better future.
The twelve elders and the Purple Cloud Sage all looked at Gu Zheng at the same time, especially the elder who wanted to accept Gu Zheng as his disciple. He secretly decided that after this meeting, he would personally take Gu Zheng away and make him his disciple no matter what.
Four hours later, the time was up.
The chaotic battlefield finally stopped. Many people suddenly relaxed. More than 4,000 people had entered, and only about 300 people were left. Even the First Peak had lost a lot of people.
This was more tragic than the previous times. In the past, there would be thousands of people left, or even more. This time, there were only about 300 people left.
Many people looked at Gu Zheng in the image. The reason for this was related to this person. He had killed nearly half of the people.
Soon, everyone's consciousness left the battlefield. When Gu Zheng opened his eyes, Chang Mei and the others were smiling at him. Gu Zheng had done well. Gu Zheng had done everything he wanted, and he had done even better. He had brought them a lot of resources.
The promise of more than 30 peaks could not be denied. When the time came, Chang Mei would personally go to their peaks to ask for the promise this time.
"Junior Brother Gu, well done!"
Tianmingzi came over and patted Gu Zheng's shoulder, praising him with a smile. Gu Zheng had slaughtered his way through the battlefield, making him feel very happy. These days, many of his fellow disciples had laughed at them and pitied them. Everyone had been holding back their anger for a long time. Now, although not all of it had been released, at least half of it had been released.
Those who had laughed at them were not as strong as them. Those who were stronger than them did not care at all. Most of them sympathized with them. This time, these people were all eliminated by Gu Zheng.
"Wan Gufeng, 27th!"
After the statistics were tallied, the higher-ups began to announce the rankings of this battle royale. Wan Gufeng was actually ranked twenty-seventh. Although the top eighty mountain leaders did not fight, they had killed many of their own in the battle royale. As a result, many of the mountain leaders had no one left, or only one or two Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were left. Although Wan Gufeng had fewer people, there were still three of them, which surpassed them.
Moreover, even if they defeated three people, their ranking would definitely be lower than Wan Gufeng's. No one could compare with Wan Gufeng in terms of the number of people killed. Gu Zheng was definitely a murderous demon on the battlefield. He had killed nearly half of the people on his own.
The 27th place was a bit out of Chang Mei's expectation. He had thought that it would be enough if he could stay in the top 80. He did not expect that the result would be better than he expected. The 27th place was very good.
There was another point. This time, only more than 200 peaks had a ranking. The rest of the peaks were tied at the bottom.
It could not be helped. In the end, there were only 56 peaks left, and those who had a ranking but did not stay on the battlefield were ranked because they had also killed people before and obtained a ranking based on the number of people they killed.
More than 2,700 peaks did not have a ranking, which made them very angry. However, it was not absolute. Two of them were laughing loudly and were very proud.
These two peaks were both ranked below 2,000. They were very weak. One of them had one disciple, and the other had two disciples. However, they did not expect that these three people, although they had died in the battle, had killed other people before they died. They did not know how they had killed them. Anyway, they had a battle record, which made their ranking suddenly rise to 200. It was really unexpected.
The ranking of this battle could affect the final ranking. In other words, even if they could maintain their previous results, their overall ranking would definitely be higher this time. Moreover, it would improve a lot. How could they not be happy?
The two peak masters did not have any resentment toward Gu Zheng. Instead, they were grateful. If Gu Zheng had not started a massacre in the battlefield, they definitely would not have had such an opportunity.
