People did not expect Gongsun Hong to be severely injured by the ancient desolate beast's claw. They had thought that Gongsun Hong would easily kill the ancient desolate beast and obtain even more rewards.
Panther Lady, who was originally jealous of Gongsun Hong for snatching the first prize, turned pale. She did not know what to do.
She was glad that she did not forcefully attack, if not her outcome would be worse than Gongsun Hong's.
Upon realizing this, many people subconsciously glanced at Yi Yun. At this moment, Yi Yun was still dawdling at the back of the group. He was a hundred feet behind Lin Yu and company, who were at the back. He did not look like he was here to fight for opportunities in the Great Empress mystic realm, but to fool around.
But at this moment, Yi Yun appeared mysterious and unfathomable in many people's eyes. They believed that Yi Yun killing the ancient desolate beast was just luck. Now, Gongsun Hong had tried it himself, yet he ended up in such a miserable state. This made people alarmed. They did not know what method Yi Yun had used to kill the ancient desolate beast.
"Senior Brother Hong!"
Seeing Gongsun Hong falling off the bridge and about to fall into the storm, a youth dressed in a flaming robe took out a rope-like enchanted item from his interspatial ring. He wanted to throw the enchanted item at Gongsun Hong to save him.
But at this moment, the ancient desolate beast roared and carried on charging at Gongsun Hong!
It stretched out its sharp claws that were wrapped in purple lightning as it grabbed at Gongsun Hong's head!
At this moment, the flaming robed youth's face turned pale. He did not dare to save Gongsun Hong. He was not sure that if he rashly attacked, he would incur the wrath of the ancient desolate beast. If it were to attack him as well, he would be buried with it.
Gongsun Hong was only his senior brother from the same sect. How could Gongsun Hong's life be more important than his?
"Ka-cha!"
Lightning flashed as the electric beams were like purple pythons. They nearly licked Gongsun Hong's face. The ancient behemoth came in a menacing manner. The immense pressure made people retreat.
Among the people who retreated was Yi Yun. Although he was already at the back, the speed at which he retreated was still faster than the others.
This made many people speechless. What was this kid doing here?
Actually, when Yi Yun retreated, he had already placed one hand on his interspatial ring. His spiritual energy had locked onto the Tai Cang Bow.
He could make his move at any time, but … the show had just begun, hadn't it? How could Yi Yun save a person like Gongsun Hong, who was constantly thinking about his life?
It was already good enough that he didn't add insult to injury.
Of course, this was also because of the Great Empress mystic realm's rules. It prevented Yi Yun from attacking Gongsun Hong. If not, if Yi Yun were to play dirty, he would not even know where he went offline.
Gongsun Hong's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he was heavily injured. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. As this mouthful of blood essence burned, a strange gray fog appeared on Gongsun Hong's face, making him look somewhat evil!
"Hah!!"
Gongsun Hong bellowed. All the joints in his body crackled, and his chest, which had been severely injured, gradually healed under a strange force.
Correspondingly, all the muscles in Gongsun Hong's body began to squirm. The veins on his forehead also began to bulge!
"Eh? There's such a move? "
Yi Yun was stunned. He thought that Gongsun Hong would definitely be eliminated this time, but he never expected that at his wits' end, Gongsun Hong had used a mystic technique to temporarily restore his combat strength.
Many people from large sects would have mystic techniques to protect their lives. These mystic techniques were often demonic cultivation techniques, and would cause great harm to the body. However, who would care about this when it was a life-threatening situation?
"Whew!"
Gongsun Hong waved his hand and a thick flaming whip shot out from his palm. It struck the pier and wrapped around it tightly.
The flaming whip tightened. Gongsun Hong could already control the flames to materialize. It was obvious how deep his understanding of fire-elemental laws was.
The power of the fire-elemental laws forcefully pulled back Gongsun Hong's falling body.
And at this moment, the ancient desolate beast pounced at him. Gongsun Hong's pupils constricted. After overdrafting his life force and using a mystic technique, he gritted his teeth and used the Sweeping Image Sword Steps.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
More than a dozen of Gongsun Hong's sword Qi avatars appeared. These sword Qi avatars were torn apart by the primordial desolate beast's claws, exploding into Yuan Qi that shot out in all directions.
And at this moment, Gongsun Hong suddenly pulled the flaming rope. The flaming rope rapidly shortened, and Gongsun Hong's body flew up like an arrow. Against the surrounding terrifying storm, he flew towards the pier!
The target he chose to fly towards was the end of the group, the direction closest to where Yi Yun was!
In this direction, there were 4 to 5 cultivators, including Yi Yun and Lin Yu. Other than Yi Yun, the rest were the weaker ones.
"F * * k!"
Lin Yu immediately cursed. Clearly, Gongsun Hong was trying to divert the trouble!
And at this moment, a saber appeared in Yi Yun's hand out of nowhere. The saber was blood red in color, and there was a lifelike ghost head engraved on the saber's handle. It looked extremely evil.
This was the treasured saber that Yi Yun had robbed from the Thousand Hand Granny, Blood Red Lotus!
Yi Yun was quick to react. He slashed down at Gongsun Hong's flaming rope without any hesitation.
Immediately, there was a faint blood beam and killing intent. This was the Blood Qi that came with the Blood Red Lotus. Without Yi Yun activating it, it would naturally leak out.
At this moment, Yi Yun was worried about the Great Empress mystic realm's rules. However, by only severing Gongsun Hong's rope and not attacking Gongsun Hong's body, it should not be a violation of the rules of not killing each other, right?
"You!"
Gongsun Hong's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Yi Yun with killing intent.
At this moment, although Gongsun Hong's body was flying upwards, due to inertia, he was still resisting the terrifying storm beneath the pier. Once Yi Yun severed the rope, he would have nowhere to borrow strength from. His body would very likely be swept back once again!
Yi Yun did not care about Gongsun Hong's attitude. His saber slashed down cleanly.
Go!
"Cha!"
The flaming rope snapped!
The long rope was like a snapped bowstring. With a tearing sound, it lashed at Gongsun Hong!
Gongsun Hong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This flaming whip was originally conjured by him, so it naturally would not injure him. With a wave of his hand, he absorbed the fire energy. At the same time, his body was being pulled by the storm, causing his speed to decrease. He was about to fall down again!
And at this moment, the ancient desolate beast realized that it had been deceived by the sword Qi avatar. It became even more furious as it chased Gongsun Hong.
Gongsun Hong was already in a desperate situation. With Yi Yun taking drastic measures, he had no other choice but to bite his tongue and burn a mouthful of blood essence.
He had forcefully raised his Yuan Qi and circulated his mystic technique twice. He had already injured his essence, but he could not care less.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
Four flaming whips were shot out consecutively by Gongsun Hong, and they all locked onto the pier. This time, Gongsun Hong avoided the pier where Yi Yun was, but he still chose to head towards the back of the group.
Sou!
Gongsun Hong's body shot upwards rapidly towards the pier.
Yi Yun was slightly stunned. Gongsun Hong could instantly conjure so many flaming whips. It was nearly impossible to sever them all.
In a split second, Gongsun Hong had already landed on the pier!
He looked at Yi Yun with killing intent in his eyes. With a movement of his body, a beam of light enveloped his body. In the next moment, Gongsun Hong had disappeared.
"Huh!?"
People were suddenly stunned. Gongsun Hong had actually disappeared into thin air. Was this invisibility?
Illusion technique?
Yi Yun's heart stirred. Although Gongsun Hong had disappeared, Yi Yun could still see Gongsun Hong clearly in his energy vision.
This illusion technique was not fire-elemental laws. It seemed like Gongsun Hong still had many hidden techniques. As the Li Fire Sect's under-18 top disciple, Gongsun Hong was indeed very strong. He was able to escape from death under such circumstances!
"Roar!"
A deafening roar resounded. The ancient desolate beast followed closely behind Gongsun Hong and leaped onto the pier!
Its gigantic body took up almost all of the twelve trestles side by side. The huge impact caused the trestles to shake up and down, causing the elites present to lose their footing.
Everyone's expressions changed. In the first trial, they were not disturbed at all, but they were still in a perilous situation against the ancient desolate beast.
And now, in this terrifying storm, their strength was restricted. Against the ancient desolate beast, there was no way for them to escape!
