On the open grassland, Lu An was gasping for breath.
His face was full of sweat and dried blood stains. His clothes were tattered. Lu An quickly opened his clothes and looked at his chest. He found that the wound had begun to heal. Although it was still bloody, he was still alive.
Lu An hurriedly opened his ring, took out a few healing pills, and swallowed them immediately. The pain all over his body was relieved. Although he didn't care about the pain, he did feel a lot better.
At this time, Lu An suddenly thought of something. He quickly looked up at the sky and his heart sank!
Oh no!
At this time, the sun had sunk into the horizon and the sky was half dark. There was only a short time left before the sun completely disappeared. It was not accurate to look at the time from this distance, but once the sun completely disappeared, he would have no chance.
Lu An was shocked and quickly got up from the ground. As soon as he moved, the pain all over his body caused him to frown slightly. However, it didn't affect his action of standing up. At this time, his fate wheel was only about 40%. This was the effect of his body unconsciously absorbing the essence after he fainted. However, with only 40% of his fate wheel, it was really difficult to win, not to mention that he was seriously injured.
While using all his strength to rush to the west, Lu An thought about whether he should take the elixir. The elixir not only had the effect of reviving the dead, but also had the effect of replenishing most of his strength in an instant. However, he felt that he shouldn't use any external force to accumulate his fate wheel for the first time after he broke through. Although the man in the black fog didn't say it, he had this feeling.
Only when his fate wheel was filled to the brim could he use the recovery elixir.
Fortunately, he was seriously injured after he stabilized his realm, so it wouldn't affect his future path. However, he didn't know what kind of strange beast attacked him underground. He also didn't know why it didn't chase after him.
In any case, he was still alive. He had to fulfill his promise, although he didn't know if he was unconscious for a few days.

Around the battlefield, everyone was waiting impatiently.
In fact, all the battles had ended four hours ago. Of course, other than the battle between Lu An and Chu Jinyi.
The Wind Attribute Heavenly Master from Stone Bear City and the Earth Attribute Heavenly Master from Daojian City were truly powerful. The two of them easily defeated their opponents without even using any powerful Heavenly Techniques. Because of this, the afternoon battle ended very quickly.
Following that, everyone was notified of Blackwolf City's request to delay the competition. If these powerful Celestial Masters were to wait here for an entire afternoon, they would definitely be impatient.
If not for the presence of the Prefecture Overseer, they would have left long ago. Although Black Wolf City had been plotted against yesterday, what did it have to do with them? This was especially true when all the experts of the Southwest Region were gathered here. What other experts were there? There was no doubt that Blackwolf City's actions were a complete waste of everyone's time.
But since the governor was here, and the prince was here, they had to be here as well. Everyone sat in their chairs and waited in boredom. From time to time, they would discuss the tactics for the next round, and from time to time, they would complain about Blackwolf City.
It was worth mentioning that in the second round of the competition that had ended so far, except for Stone Bear City and Daojian City, almost all of them had been defeated. Other than Chu Jinyi, everyone from Stone Bear City had advanced. Two people from Daojian City had advanced, and two people from two other cities had advanced. As long as they could advance to the third round, they would definitely not be in the last place.
"I wonder how long we have to wait!" In Stone Bear City, Chu Jinyi said impatiently, "The sun is about to disappear, and they haven't arrived yet. Who is so arrogant?"
"That's right! What kind of good can Blackwolf City bring out? "Another person agreed." It's just a waste of everyone's time! "
However, the City Lord frowned when he heard that. He said in a deep voice, "It's better to be safe than sorry. The fact that the prince ordered us personally means that the other party is not simple. For example, that Liu Lan. Who knows how strong she is? "
As soon as he said that, everyone's faces darkened, and they nodded slightly. Indeed, Liu Lan's strength was beyond their imagination. Even they did not dare to say that they could win against Guo Jianping.
"The prince personally ordered us to win no matter what." The City Lord looked at Chu Jinyi and said solemnly, "President Chu, remember to do it at all costs. Do you understand?"
Chu Jinyi was stunned. Then, he laughed and said, "What kind of price do we need to pay to deal with Blackwolf City?"
However, as soon as he said that, Chu Jinyi noticed that the City Lord's expression had become even more solemn. Then, he said seriously, "Don't worry. If it's really difficult to deal with, I'll win for him even if I have to pay a high price!"
"Okay." The City Lord nodded and said, "I'm relieved to hear that."
On the other side, the four people from Blackwolf City …
Although Guo Hancheng had already released a wooden chair and table, the wooden chair seemed to be boiling hot. No one was willing to sit on it for long. In fact, the more they sat, the more they stood up. Their eyes kept looking around.
They were more anxious than anyone else. If Lu An did not appear, not only would they lose the competition, but they would also offend the Prefecture Overseer, the prince, and all the powerful Celestial Masters in the other cities. They could not afford to pay such a price. It would be pushing Blackwolf City into the abyss.
"Why hasn't Lu An come out yet?" On the side, Wan Kedong was so anxious that he did not even mention 'Alliance Leader Lu'. He had already paced back and forth so many times that he even left a mark on the ground.
On the other side, Guo Hancheng's expression was also very ugly. He kept looking around and kept looking in the direction of the Prefecture Overseer. He was wondering if it would be better if he went to plead for leniency now.
However, this was just a thought in Guo Hancheng's mind. He glanced at Liu Lan, who was beside him. Liu Lan had completely fallen out with the prince and even made such a bet. If he pleaded for leniency now, there would be no room for negotiation.
If there was any room for negotiation, it would be if Liu Lan admitted defeat and became the prince's slave. However, even Guo Hancheng did not dare to make such a decision for a Level Five Celestial Master.
"Please, God, let Lu An come quickly …" Even Song Ge, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, began to make a last-minute effort. He paced back and forth and prayed. If Blackwolf City really offended the prince, they might as well commit suicide.
At the side, Liu Lan was the only one who could still sit quietly on the chair. She clasped her hands together and frowned. She looked at her hands with her beautiful eyes and sat there firmly.
Although the panic in her heart was getting worse as time passed, she still believed that Lu An would not lie to her. Lu An was definitely a man of his words. He would definitely not harm Blackwolf City like this.
"Alliance Leader Liu …" Suddenly, Guo Hancheng's voice rang out beside Liu Lan. He said with difficulty, "If Lu An really doesn't come …"
"No!" Liu Lan raised her head and looked at Guo Hancheng as she said in a deep voice.
"I said if …" Guo Hancheng said bitterly, "No one can guarantee that there won't be any natural or man-made disasters."
Liu Lan frowned and said in a deep voice, "If he really doesn't come, I'll participate in the last battle. At that time, even if I lose, I'll accept my loss. I won't drag Blackwolf City down with me!"
Hearing Liu Lan's words, the three of them sighed in relief. However, the bitterness on their faces deepened. Liu Lan was the future of Blackwolf City, but now she had come to this point. It was really unacceptable.
The sun was setting bit by bit. It had already sunk halfway into the horizon. On the other side, the moon had also risen and appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was already evening, but there was no one at all.
The protests from the surrounding eight cities were getting louder and louder. It was completely unreasonable for them to wait for nearly two and a half hours. On the other side, Chu Chuan looked at the sinking sun with a smile on his face.
It was not only the sun that was sinking, but also the hope of everyone in Blackwolf City.
There was only a quarter of the sun left — until there was only a little bit left. Chu Chuan came to the side of the prefecture magistrate and said, "Prefecture Magistrate Zhang, can you announce the start of the last battle?"
The prefecture magistrate glanced at Chu Chuan and waved to the host beside him. The host understood and quickly leaped to the center of the arena.
At this time, the arena was completely in ruins. There were deep pits everywhere. The host stood on a high ground and shouted to everyone, "It's almost night. The time has come. Let's invite the people of Rock Bear City and Blackwolf City to enter!"
When he said that, all the masters of the cities heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, they waited for this moment. Rock Bear City's Chu Jinyi suddenly stood up and quickly entered the arena. He had been waiting for an entire afternoon and couldn't wait to have a big battle!
On the other side, Blackwolf City's Guo Hancheng and the two alliance leaders' faces sank. They looked at Liu Lan with difficulty. Liu Lan didn't say anything. She stood up and took a deep breath. "I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I'm going."
After speaking, Liu Lan walked into the arena. She looked at Chu Jinyi who had already reached the center without any fear.
On the other side, the prefecture magistrate and Chu Chuan were stunned when they saw Liu Lan enter the arena. Then, Chu Chuan burst into laughter. Although he wasn't a master, he knew that Liu Lan was injured and couldn't defeat Chu Jinyi.
Liu Lan also knew that, but she still wanted to fight.
Even if she died, she wouldn't admit defeat.
Under the last rays of the sun, Liu Lan arrived at the center of the arena. The host looked at Liu Lan with a trace of heartache in his eyes. Then, he announced loudly, "The last match, Rock Bear City's Chu Jinyi versus Black Wolf City's Chu Jinyi …"
"Wait!!!"
Suddenly, a loud shout reverberated throughout the arena. The loud voice directly interrupted the host's words. This was the voice of Guo Hancheng and the two alliance leaders!
Liu Lan's body trembled. She couldn't control her inner expectations and quickly looked behind her.
Amidst the last rays of the sun, a silhouette was rushing towards them at lightning speed!
