"I admit defeat …"
The three words seemed to have some sort of magical power. The moment Lie Fen Tian helplessly uttered those words, he suddenly vanished from the Slaughterhouse of Space. The Extreme Profound Light, which had been lethal, whistled through the air.
However, the magical power of Lie Fentian's helpless utterance of "I admit defeat" was far more than that.
The moment Lie Fentian uttered those three words, Yue Yuan, who had just started another battle outside the Slaughterhouse, was stunned on the spot.
The many martial artists who had their attention on the battle between Lie Fentian and Ling Dong were also stunned on the spot.
How could they not be shocked? Fifteen breaths, perhaps not even fifteen breaths' time, the battle between the two had been decided. Moreover, it was a rather miserable admission of defeat.
This result made all the martial artists who were watching the battle suck in a breath of cold air, including Huo Lin and Di Nankun.
Not to mention that Lie Fentian had defeated Ling Dong once before, even if Lie Fentian had not defeated Ling Dong before, this result was still extremely shocking.
One had to know that Lie Fentian's cultivation base was at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Giant Star Realm, not to mention his attainments in the Innate Spiritual Fire. Compared to Lie Fentian, Ling Dong was far inferior.
Although a Third Level of the Giant Star Realm also had the Innate Spiritual Fire, his attainments in it were clearly inferior to Lie Fentian's. However, the strange thing was that Ling Dong had defeated Lie Fentian, and within a dozen breaths' time, almost killing him.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention the huge difference in cultivation, even in a battle between cultivators of similar cultivation levels, it was impossible to have such a close kill result. Moreover, the one with the lower cultivation base had defeated the one with the higher cultivation base.
"This Ling Dong's strength … just how terrifying is it?" Such a thought rose in everyone's mind. It was an unimaginable guess.
Killing a peak Kui Star Realm martial artist with a terrifying innate spiritual fire and the second place in the Soul Battle. How much power did that require? Perhaps even many Constellation Realm martial artists couldn't do it.
"This … Dong 'er is so powerful. He was able to kill Lie Fentian in a short span of a dozen breaths. This … I'm afraid that even I, his Martial Uncle, can't kill Lie Fentian. Even if he wins, I'm afraid that it will take some effort!" Huo Lin said after being stunned for a long time.
"I didn't see through Ling Dong's methods either!" Di Nankun replied after a moment of silence. Ling Dong's sea of fire strategy was undoubtedly extremely successful. Everyone could only see the sea of fire but not the person. When they saw the person again, the outcome was already decided.
This situation undoubtedly strengthened Ling Dong's mysteriousness. When everyone's gaze shifted away from Lie Fen Tian's pale face, they looked at Ling Dong with a trace of reverence.
Everyone was always filled with a trace of fear towards the unknown.
This included Yue Yuan. He glanced at Lie Fentian's back and wanted nothing more than to grab this useless guy and beat him up. However, his sinister gaze was fixed on Ling Dong, who had just come out of the Slaughterhouse.
"This little bastard, just what kind of ability did he use to be able to kill Lie Fentian?" Yue Yuan's gaze was focused on Ling Dong. He wanted nothing more than to pounce on him and kill Ling Dong.
"Hmph!" At this moment, Ling Dong, who had just come out of the Slaughterhouse, also felt Yue Yuan's murderous gaze. His gaze turned cold as he met Yue Yuan's gaze that was filled with killing intent.
Looking at Yue Yuan's extremely angry eyes, Ling Dong suddenly smiled proudly. His smile was incomparably brilliant.
When Yue Yuan's expression became even more sinister because of Ling Dong's smile, Ling Dong raised his head slightly and revealed a disdainful expression. He raised his right hand and pointed his middle finger at the sinister Yue Yuan in the sky. The moment Yue Yuan's eyes focused, Ling Dong fiercely pressed his middle finger down on his crotch!
Yue Yuan was stunned when he saw Ling Dong's action. However, he quickly reacted. His old face immediately turned blood-red and his anger flared up. Even his white beard rose up due to his anger. His entire body suddenly emitted a terrifying aura.
However, just as Yue Yuan was about to explode in anger and do something, his eyes suddenly shrank. A figure suddenly appeared beside Ling Dong.
"Ling Dong, not bad! Two wins and one loss in three battles. Furthermore, it was against Lie Fentian, who was ranked second in the Soul Battle. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but perhaps it wasn't. In any case, Di Nankun had appeared before Ling Dong at the right time. This made Yue Yuan, who hadn't dared to make a move due to certain taboos, deflate like a deflated balloon.
However, Ling Dong's insulting gesture still made him furious. His gaze began to sweep over the martialists on the square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion once more. He was looking for new prey.
As for Lie Fentian, he had lost two out of three battles. He couldn't even defeat Ling Dong, let alone accomplish his goal of killing Ling Dong.
At this moment, Lie Fentian, who was in a daze, simply didn't know that he had been kicked away like a piece of trash by Yue Yuan.
This battle had been too cruel for Lie Fentian. It had been so cruel that Lie Fentian's self-confidence had been crushed by Ling Dong's killing blow.
In particular, Luo Yunyang had beaten him back and forth like a human sandbag. He hadn't been able to retaliate in the slightest. This had made Lie Fentian feel deeply humiliated. Right now, Lie Fentian didn't even dare raise his head. He didn't even dare look at Ling Dong.
He had challenged Ling Dong in high spirits to prove himself. However, he had been thrown out like a gambler who had lost everything. After losing two out of three battles, Lie Fentian was at a loss as to what to do next.
While Lie Fentian was at a loss, Ling Dong had reaped great benefits.
Actual combat had proven that his comprehension had been correct. His First Extreme Mysterious Light, which had many variations, was definitely a nightmare for any martialist.
Although the results of the following free-for-all battles were brilliant and varied, there weren't any special highlights. However, Yue Yuan's rule of letting the loser pick a fight had given Shi Qianbi and the others a chance.
Shi Qianbi, who had rationally chosen a soft persimmon, had won a match. Bai Yuhan had also won a match, as expected. What made people not know whether to laugh or cry was Mo Yu's battle.
Mo Yu, who had displayed the most abnormal performance in the previous battle, had waited until the end. However, not a single martialist had challenged Mo Yu. Only an unknown martialist and Mo Yu were left in the entire free-for-all battle.
That martialist could be considered a scoundrel. When he saw that Mo Yu was the only one left, he simply took out a Gold Spirit Substitute Talisman and bowed before Yue Yuan. "I challenge Mo Yu!"
When he heard this voice, Mo Yu scurried into the Slaughterhouse like a bolt of lightning. However, he was dumbfounded when that martialist said, "I admit defeat!" That martialist hadn't even entered the Slaughterhouse, so Mo Yu had no choice but to leave helplessly.
After the second round of the free-for-all battle ended, Yue Yuan didn't give the martialists any time to recover. The next day, the third round of the free-for-all battle would be held.
"The rules of today's challenge are extremely simple. To ensure fairness, the martialists who won yesterday will choose their challengers today. The first challenger … Ling Dong!" Yue Yuan's gaze fell on Ling Dong after looking around.
After a few rounds, Mo Yu had fallen to the end because no one had challenged him. Ling Dong had become the first challenger instead.
When Yue Yuan called out Ling Dong's name, the martialists waiting in front of the Slaughterhouse all took half a step back.
It wasn't that Ling Dong's name was so powerful. It was mainly because they were worried that Ling Dong would choose them as his challengers. After watching Ling Dong's three battles, apart from a few of these martialists, there weren't many who had the confidence to defeat Ling Dong. It had to be known that Lie Fentian, who was ranked second in the Soul Battle and was also one of the strongest, had been killed by Ling Dong.
At the same time, this was another loophole in this free-for-all battle.
If a top martialist continuously challenged another martialist, that martialist would probably be eliminated very quickly. This was luck, but it didn't affect fairness. After all, there was no such thing as absolute fairness in this world!
"I challenge …"
Ling Dong didn't immediately call out the name of his challenger. His gaze scanned the martialists in the arena, causing their hearts to beat faster. At the same time, Ling Dong's gaze focused on a corner.
This action caused most of the martialists to heave a sigh of relief. However, the martialist in the corner stood up without any hesitation. He took a Gold Spirit Substitute Talisman and walked into the Slaughterhouse of his own accord.
This martialist was Lie Fentian!
He didn't have the confidence to defeat Ling Dong, but the pride in his bones wouldn't allow him to be afraid of battle. He would still walk into the Slaughterhouse of Slaughterhouse with his head held high.
Lie Fentian knew that Ling Dong was fighting to the death with him. He also understood a little of the reason. Therefore, when he entered the Slaughterhouse, he glanced at the sky.
However, there were times when one could wake up, but there was no way to regret!
At this moment, Yue Yuan's eyes were still filled with anticipation. He was looking forward to Lie Fentian, who had been provoked, doing something amazing.
However, Yue Yuan was disappointed once again.
The battle was as quick as ever. In less than fifteen breaths, a voice sounded again.
"I admit defeat!" There was a hint of calmness in his voice. However, Lie Fen Tian, who had suddenly emerged from the Slaughterhouse, had a look of pain in his eyes. There was also a trace of complicated emotion that was difficult to understand.
This was because everyone, including Lie Fentian, understood what it meant to lose three out of four battles!
If he lost his qualifications, he would lose the chance to become one of the thirty-six contestants in the free challenge competition.
Lie Fentian had unexpectedly become the first person to be eliminated in the free challenge competition!
This was the result that he was most unwilling to face, the situation that he was most unwilling to see.
"If I hadn't been … tempted … and not challenged Ling Dong … perhaps, I would have been able to become one of the thirty-six contestants and walk further in the Elite Competition … What a pity. I've waited a hundred years for this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity …"
This kind of blow, this kind of pain, was extremely strong for Lie Fentian, who was ranked second in the Soul Battle. Without anyone urging him, Lie Fentian staggered out of the square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence. When his figure disappeared, Lie Fentian suddenly turned around. His gaze suddenly focused on Ling Dong and Yue Yuan, and it lingered for a long time!
Looking at Lie Fentian's departing figure, Ling Dong sighed softly. He actually wanted to kill Lie Fentian. Although Ling Dong understood that eliminating Lie Fentian was a punishment that was crueler than killing him!
However, Ling Dong was very clear that if he left such an opponent alive, he didn't know when it would bring him unimaginable danger! However, Lie Fentian was much calmer than Ling Dong had imagined. The moment the Gold Spirit Substitute Talisman was destroyed, he calmly shouted those three words, as if he had been prepared for this.
Similarly, looking at Lie Fentian leaving, Yue Yuan was also extremely depressed. This meant that his method of dealing with Ling Dong had failed once again. When he thought of this, Yue Yuan's face burned a little. It was as if a poisonous spring was spurting out from the bottom of his heart. When he thought of the past, Yue Yuan felt so uncomfortable that he almost went crazy!
"Could it be that no one can control this kid?" Yue Yuan's expression was somewhat ferocious as he scanned the square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a person. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
