With the metal sword right in front of him, Li Hong did not have time to think. He flew backwards and smashed down with the pole in his hand.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
With a series of metallic collision sounds, the metal arrows were smashed down by Li Hong. However, at the same time, his arms went numb. The webbing between his thumb and forefinger hurt. The powerful impact was unbearable for him.
Could it be …
A thought flashed across Li Hong's mind. And at this moment, the metal arrows that were sent flying by Li Hong returned and shot at Li Hong once again!
These metal arrows seemed to have a life of their own as they flew through the air. They were even able to dodge Li Hong's pole.
The attacks became more and more intense. Li Hong's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Metal-elemental laws!"
Li Hong finally realized this method of attack.
The five elements were metal, wood, water, fire and earth. And the metal-elemental laws were the strongest of the five elemental laws. There were very few people who could cultivate in the metal-elemental laws.
This lanky youth was a metal-elemental law cultivator. And the degree of his nomological insight was terrifying!
Typically, those who cultivated in the five elemental laws, even if they had some achievements in these laws, would only be able to infuse the power of the five elements into their moves. Very few people could be like this lanky youth, who could control this power as he pleased.
Even the purple tungsten tiles on the ground could be controlled by him. This ability was too terrifying.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
Dozens of arrows danced in the air. Li Hong conjured his Aspect Totem, but his Aspect Totem was penetrated by the arrows!
Li Hong's soul sea trembled as his face turned pale.
The repeated attacks made his arms go numb. He could not withstand it at all.
"Whew!"
An arrow finally passed through Li Hong's defensive circle and penetrated Li Hong's shoulder. It came out from Li Hong's back, bringing with it a rain of blood!
Li Hong grunted as his body fell backwards.
At that moment, another arrow pierced through his lower abdomen. Li Hong's protective Yuan Qi was like paper in front of the sharp metal arrow.
Li Hong's entire body was lifted up as he fell heavily to the ground. His body convulsed.
Jun Yue's metal arrow had a spiraling force. After the arrow, which was as thick as a thumb, stabbed into his body, it created a wound the size of a wine cup. Li Hong's entire arm was nearly twisted off.
"I … admit defeat …"
Li Hong's face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He had lost too much blood from the two open wounds.
The Tai Ah Divine City's medical staff rushed over to save Li Hong.
Jun Yue's expression was calm. He only nodded. From beginning to end, Jun Yue didn't move a single step. He only used the Metal Laws to control the arrows and obtained victory.
The difference was too great!
Li Hong was extremely depressed. This alliance competition had become an unforgettable experience for him.
After Jun Yue won, he looked through the crowd and saw Yi Yun, who was meditating in the participant benches.
Yi Yun's heart stirred. He did not open his eyes, but through the Purple Crystal's energy vision, he could sense the person's existence.
Because he was too eye-catching.
In the energy vision, human sages like Cang Yan and Jian Ge had their energy converged, causing their light to dim. Even figures like the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord were no different from mortals.
As for Wen Yu and the others, they were weak to begin with, so their existences were inconspicuous.
Only Jun Yue was not only strong, but his energy was also sharp. His existence was like a fire in the night, extremely eye-catching.
"This person doesn't seem ordinary."
Yi Yun silently remembered this person. However, he was trying to gain insights into sword truths, so he did not have the mood to investigate him.
But beside Yi Yun, Wen Yu and company had already dug out all of Jun Yue's information.
The world was vast, and there was always someone better. Jun Yue's nomological insights had reached an abnormal level, but he was not famous. In Wen Yu's information, there was less information on Jun Yue than Viper.
"Senior Yi has an opponent …"
"This Jun Yue is really terrifying." A few of the juniors felt a little weak. It was hard to tell who would win against Jun Yue.
After Jun Yue defeated Li Hong, the results of Chu Xiaoran's team and Qiuniu's team's battle were out. Chu Xiaoran won, while Qiuniu lost!
The Tai Ah Divine City and Yun Long 72 Pagodas had two wins and two losses in the under-fifteen group battle.
Cang Yan was very satisfied with this result.
After all, the Tai Ah Divine City's main force, Yi Yun, Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran, were not even fifteen years old. They were at a disadvantage in terms of age, but even so, they were able to tie.
This meant that they had at least managed to retain four seats.
But following that, there was still the young adult group championship. The group championship was the most important.
By winning the championship, they would obtain at least eight seats.
The person who could represent the Tai Ah Divine City to win the group championship was no doubt Yi Yun. But against Jun Yue …
Cang Yan frowned slightly. In the battle between Li Hong and Jun Yue, Jun Yue did not use all his strength. Cang Yan could not determine how Li Hong compared to Jun Yue. This was a serious challenge.
Following that, the over-fifteen group battle results were out.
Yao Dao's team won one match, while the other three teams were completely annihilated.
In fact, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom teams that faced these three teams had only sent out one or two people, but they were able to challenge them all the way.
As the teams that were abandoned, the team members had no fighting spirit. They knew that no matter how they fought, they would only end up in failure.
"The Tai Ah Divine City's cultivators sure have effective tactics!" In the seats of honor, the Seven Star Pagoda Owner said with a smile. His tone was still filled with mockery, "By abandoning three teams and concentrating all their strength on the first team, you were able to obtain one victory. You have to thank your good luck for meeting the weakest team of my Yun Long 72 Pagodas' fourth team."
"Luck is also a form of strength." The Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord was unfazed. No matter what the Seven Star Pagoda Owner said, he would respond with a smile.
"Unfortunately, luck is meaningless in the final battle. We will eventually meet again."
The Seven Star Pagoda Owner was confident. The earlier victories did not matter much. The most important thing was the later matches.
A group championship meant eight to ten seats.
The Seven Star Pagoda Owner was confident that these seats would all be taken by the Yun Long Divine Kingdom.
His goal was to obtain more than 60% of the seats, including the Southern ten countries and the other neutral factions!
The battles were still ongoing.
After the group matches, there was only an hour's rest. Following that, it was the group championship!
In the group matches, all the cultivators in the winning team who had not been defeated would be able to participate in the group championship.
The rules of the group championship were very simple. It was free challenge.
The Yun Long Divine Kingdom and the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom would randomly send out a person to challenge anyone from the opposing team. If they lost, they would be eliminated. If they won, they would continue fighting until the end. Whoever was left standing would become the group champion.
The group champion for the under-15 group would obtain eight seats.
As for the over-15 group and the overall group champion, they would obtain ten seats.
If there were more than ten people left, they would obtain an additional two seats.
The group championship was what the Seven Star Pagoda Owner cared about the most.
That was close to 30 seats. Compared to that, the six seats they lost in the group stage were nothing.
"Kid, the group championship is about to begin!"
While Yi Yun was meditating, Cang Yan's voice rang in Yi Yun's ears.
Yi Yun opened his eyes. The Pure Yang Sword Palace's Sword Truth was extremely profound. Even with the Purple Crystal's help, Yi Yun found it difficult to cultivate it. This was definitely the most difficult cultivation technique and insight he had ever learned in his martial arts career.
"The group competition is a tag-team battle. The more people there are, the more advantageous it is. We do not have the advantage in numbers, so let's try our best." Cang Yan said as he pointed to a girl not far from Yi Yun. It was Chu Xiaoran.
"This time, we are teammates …" Chu Xiaoran said with a smile.
Yi Yun looked at Chu Xiaoran and realized that she was alone.
Chu Xiaoran smiled embarrassedly, "My teammates have been defeated. Qiuniu and Li Hong lost in the group matches, so I'm the only one added. Including the people in your group, there are a total of five people …"
Uh …
Yi Yun pinched his eyebrows. Around him, there were only Wen Yu and two juniors who had no presence.
The three of them were just there to make up the numbers.
No matter how he counted, there were only Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran participating in the championship.
Looking at their opponents, they were a group of ruthless people who were like wolves and tigers.
This number was really "not advantageous"!
