Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The battle on the dueling platform lasted for the better part of an hour.

The result, of course, was without suspense. Yagyu Tai of the Yagyu family was defeated.

Despite using Qi-sustaining pills to continuously provide himself with vital energy and unleashing ultra-limit explosive attacks, he was still no match for Lin Mo.

The difference in strength between them was quite obvious.

Lin Mo's consumption wasn't small, but it wasn't too great either, and he could continue fighting.

However, if he were to continue fighting, his essence, energy, and spirit would be further depleted, and the recovery time would be very long.

For cultivators, the greater the consumption, the slower the recovery speed.

This is because the recovery speed is directly proportional to the essence, energy, and spirit remaining within the body.

For example, a person who is about to collapse will have a very slow recovery speed, with their essence, energy, and spirit only gradually regenerating like a trickle.

Whereas someone with little consumption will recover much more in a unit of time.

Yagyu Tai was struck by the battle sword in Lin Mo's hand, pierced straight through.

Originally, Lin Mo was aiming for his heart, but at the last moment, Yagyu Tai dodged the vital point, and the sword pierced his lung.

If Yagyu Tai hadn't conceded in time, he would have been killed on the spot.

Lin Mo didn't have time.

In the instant he pierced Yagyu Tai, he originally intended to pull out the sword and deliver another strike.

As a result, Yagyu Tai used both hands to firmly grasp the blade.

Although Yagyu Tai couldn't hold it, it slightly delayed Lin Mo's momentum of drawing the sword from his body.

It was during this time that Yagyu Tai conceded.

People were all discussing it.

Yagyu Taku, however, was already poised and ready, prepared to rush onto the dueling platform at any moment.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Mo, and as soon as Lin Mo gave up challenging and stepped down from the dueling platform, he would rush onto the stage ahead of everyone else, seizing the right to challenge first.

This was the Yagyu family's battle plan and strategy, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise, there would be even greater variables, and the Yagyu family's chances of entering the top three would become extremely small.

Dong!

The bell of order rang.

"Lin Mo of the Lin family defeated Yagyu Tai of the Yagyu family and gained one point."

The voice of the Heavenly Dao incarnation was ethereal and majestic, resounding throughout the arena, "Next, Lin Mo, you can choose to continue challenging the contestants of the participating forces, or choose to step down and rest."

As the voice of the Heavenly Dao fell, people couldn't help but become nervous.

Would Lin Mo continue to challenge or rest?

Lin Mo stood on the stage, about to make a decision.

"Lin Mo!"

At this time, from the Apricot Blossom Village side, Hua Qi suddenly shouted, like a thunderclap.

Instantly, everyone's eyes focused on him.

They saw him walking towards the dueling platform.

People were all astonished, what did the people of Apricot Blossom Village want to do?

Did he want to provoke Lin Mo and fight Lin Mo on the stage?

"Are you saying you want to challenge Lin Mo?

This is simply overestimating yourself.

Although Lin Mo has already fought a match and has suffered considerable consumption, he is not someone you can touch.

Who is Lin Mo? He is the number one strongman of the younger generation of the Lin family.

Didn't you see his strength just now?"

In their opinion, Lin Mo's strength was a leader in the entire Pingnan County's younger generation.

This youth from Apricot Blossom Village was too young, and his realm must be far inferior to Lin Mo. What if he had the blood of an emperor flowing in his body?

Although the blood of an emperor can bring a very high growth rate, and may be slightly higher in the Divine Forbidden Domain, this is far from enough to close the gap in realm.

You must know that a difference of one Heavenly Rank is a huge difference of ten times the comprehensive strength, which requires several layers of the Heavenly God Forbidden Domain to bridge!

The people of the Yagyu family were also attracted by Hua Qi's sudden thunderous shout.

Their expressions were also somewhat astonished.

They had not expected that the youth from Apricot Blossom Village, who was suspected of having pure emperor blood, would stand up at this time.

If he went on stage to fight Lin Mo, perhaps he could further deplete Lin Mo's essence, energy, and spirit, which were already not at their peak.

However, if Lin Mo had the intention to kill and killed the pure emperor blood on the stage, wouldn't the Yagyu family lose the opportunity to attach themselves to the existence behind Mang Village?

"Kid from Apricot Blossom Village, what are you doing? Is Lin Mo someone you can challenge?

With your strength, do you want to humiliate yourself or seek death on stage?"

Yagyu Taku was no longer calm, fearing that Lin Mo would accept Hua Qi's challenge and let him go on stage, where he would be killed by Lin Mo, cutting off his chance to kill him with his own hands.

Hua Qi ignored Yagyu Taku and only glanced at him sideways.

He quickly walked to the bottom of the dueling platform and looked at Lin Mo on the stage.

Lin Mo took a few steps to the edge of the dueling platform, then jumped down and left the arena directly.

This surprised people, Lin Mo actually didn't say anything and just stepped down?

This was not in line with Lin Mo's character.

Although Lin Mo was not the kind of very strong and domineering person, he had always been extremely proud of his talent.

Today, the contestant from Apricot Blossom Village called out his name in public like this, as if provoking him, but Lin Mo didn't respond?

Lin Mo's reaction also stunned the people of the Yagyu family.

Immediately, they came back to their senses.

Yagyu Taku rushed towards the dueling platform at the fastest speed.

Lin Mo's choice was exactly the result he wanted.

Although he didn't know why Lin Mo didn't say a word and left the dueling platform like this, none of this mattered anymore.

Yagyu Taku was in a great mood, and finally, he could fight according to the strategy.

However, the smile on his face instantly froze.

He had only just rushed halfway when he saw that pure emperor blood from Apricot Blossom Village lightly leap and land on the dueling platform.

"What are you doing?"

Yagyu Taku abruptly stopped, making a sudden brake.

The corners of his mouth trembled, and a surge of anger rushed to the top of his head.

"Of course, I'm rushing onto the stage ahead of you, otherwise, what do you think I shouted Lin Mo's name for?

You didn't think I was going to challenge Lin Mo, did you?

No, no, no, you're too naive, I just want to paralyze you, so I can swagger to the front of the dueling platform."

"You—"

Yagyu Taku was so angry that he was about to smoke.

It was outrageous to be schemed against by a country bumpkin.

He felt very embarrassed.

Most importantly, it was no longer a matter of face.

This country bumpkin's ascent to the stage, it was unknown who he would challenge, but it was certain that the dueling process would waste valuable time.

In this way, Lin Mo would have more time to rest.

He thought he had made sufficient preparations, and no one could be faster than him in speed, and he would be the one to ascend the stage first.

As a result, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway, playing him a trick and causing him to miss the opportunity!

"Boy, you will soon pay the price for your own stupidity!"

Yagyu Taku was so angry that he was about to explode.

This country bumpkin made it more difficult for their Yagyu family to enter the top three.

"Young Master Yagyu, why has your face turned green?

The expressions of the people of your Yagyu family are really vivid.

If Young Master Yagyu wore a green hat, matched with your complexion, it would be quite a match."

Everyone was stunned.

This teenager from Apricot Blossom Village was too sharp-tongued, and he ridiculed Yagyu Taku so much in public.

For a time, some people couldn't help but laugh, especially the people from Wumen and the Lin family.

"Hahaha, well said, well said, maybe Young Master Yagyu likes this kind of thing."

Lin Mo laughed out loud on the spot.

Wu Xu took over the conversation with a smile. He looked at Yagyu Taku and said, "I say, Yagyu Taku, I, Wu Xu, can give you a green hat, you don't have to be polite with me."

"You are all courting death!"

Yagyu Taku was so angry that his baleful aura rose, but he forcibly restrained the anger in his heart, not allowing himself to lose his composure.

"This is the arena of the Heaven-Sent Battle, not a place for you to argue.

Are you just good at talking?

Why don't you come on stage and fight me!"

His eyes were gloomy, and his gaze swept across Wu Xu and Lin Mo's faces, then fixed on Hua Qi on the stage, and said, "Boy, you country bumpkin, since you dare to come on stage and be so arrogant, why don't you challenge this young master?

See how this young master will take your head in three moves!"

Hearing this, Hua Qi scratched his head somewhat honestly and said with a shy expression, "Young Master Yagyu is so cruel, wanting to take my head, I'm so scared."

"F*ck!"

Yagyu Taku really couldn't help it and cursed on the spot.

He felt like he was really about to explode.

This bastard country bumpkin actually responded to his harsh words and provocations with such a posture, expression, and tone.

"Is Young Master Yagyu saying dirty words?

It seems that the upbringing of your Yagyu family is very poor.

We mountain people are different, we have been taught by our parents since we were young, and we never say dirty words."

Yagyu Taku was already trembling with anger after hearing this.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The teenager from Apricot Blossom Village was eloquent and quick-witted. In terms of mutual confrontation, he completely controlled Yagyu Taku, unable to directly rush to the stage to do it. At this moment, he was probably holding back internal injuries.

"Young Master Yagyu, don't be angry, look, you're almost turning into a two-hundred-pound cutie.

Come on, I allow you to come on stage."

Hearing the first sentence, Yagyu Taku's anger rushed to his head, but hearing the latter sentence, his eyes instantly burst out with a terrifying cold light, and he stared at Hua Qi fiercely, "What did you say?"

"Young Master Yagyu, can you not be so cute?

I said I allow you to come on stage. To put it in a domineering way, I, Hua Qi of the Apricot Blossom Village team, challenge your Yagyu family team.

I don't know if Young Master Yagyu can understand what I said. If you still can't understand such simple and easy-to-understand language, then I can only express my regret…"

Yagyu Taku was stunned, then laughed wildly at the sky.

"Hahaha!"

His laughter was extremely unrestrained and arrogant.

At this moment, everyone could feel that Yanagida Taku was different from before.

The previous Yanagida Taku was clearly forcing himself, making one suspect that he was about to burst from internal injuries.

At this moment, Yanagida Taku's mood was obviously incomparably cheerful, and the unvented anger and killing intent were all transformed into confidence and strength.

"Ignorant country bumpkin, watch me take your head!"

With a few leaps, Yanagida Taku ascended the duel stage.

With a clang, the battle sword he held in his arms was unsheathed, flashing a chillingly white blade.

"Show your strongest posture, use your strongest Emperor-level secret technique, otherwise you won't even be able to withstand a single move.

In the eyes of Young Master Yu, you are just a slightly stronger ant."

Yanagida Taku's aura was powerful, forming a gale that swept around his body, emitting a whistling sound.

Huazaki sneered, divine law true energy flowing, condensing into a battle sword entwined with frost flowers.

Instantly, a chill permeated, causing the temperature on the duel stage to rapidly decrease, and a layer of ice formed on the ground.

Everyone was nervously watching the duel stage.

As soon as the Heavenly Dao Order bell rang, the two people on the stage would instantly erupt into a great battle.

Yanagida Taku was likely stronger than Bu Xu and Lin Mo, how could Huazaki of the Apricot Blossom Village team compete with him?

People were not optimistic about Huazaki, feeling that he was too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and once the battle began, he could be killed on the stage at any time.

Below the stage, Hua Qing and Hua Hu were both very nervous, their hands were clenched so tightly that they were sweating.

Yanagida Taku is very strong, the outcome of Qi'er's battle with him is unpredictable.

Only Jun Wuxie and Jing Ya's avatars had calm expressions and peaceful states of mind.

Dong!

Finally, the bell of order rang.

In an instant, Yanagida Taku's speed was so fast that it was dazzling, holding the battle sword in both hands, he instantly advanced to within two meters of Huazaki, and slashed out a magnificent killing blade aura.

This blade was astonishingly lethal, causing the space to slightly vibrate.

Huazaki dodged with a sideways step.

His movements were very fast, almost making the dodging action at the same time as Yanagida Taku's advance, as if he had expected his attack moves long ago.

Everyone was surprised, this Huazaki of the Apricot Blossom Village team actually had such rapid reaction speed.

Yanagida Taku didn't expect the other party to dodge like this, which was beyond his expectations.

At the same time, Huazaki, who avoided the blade, swung the battle sword in his hand, frost flowers fluttering, sword energy crisscrossing, sweeping towards Yanagida Taku's neck.

His counterattack and the action of dodging the blade were almost done in one go, as if he had rehearsed it thousands of times in his mind.

Yanagida Taku had no choice but to retract his sword to block in order to defuse this sword.

Immediately afterwards, Yanagida Taku's body suddenly disappeared, and almost at the same time, appeared behind Huazaki, the battle sword slashing down.

Too fast.

Such an attack method was too strange and swift.

If it were someone else, even if they weren't beheaded, they would be very embarrassed.

Everyone thought that Huazaki would inevitably be caught off guard, and even use a donkey roll to defuse this blade.

However, to everyone's surprise, Huazaki seemed to know where Yanagida Taku would appear, and actually moved sideways in advance, causing Yanagida Taku's blade to slash into the air again.

"Impossible, how could that Huazaki so calmly dodge Yanagida Taku's Hidden Kill Slash, it's really unbelievable."

"He seems to be able to predict the future.

Twice in a row, he almost predicted in advance, and dodged in advance at the same time as Yanagida Taku launched an attack."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible… Someone can actually predict the Hidden Kill Slash, how did he do it?"

… …

People on the field were talking about it, whether it was people watching the excitement or the high-level members of those second-rate forces, they all felt shocked.

Originally, it was thought that the young man from Apricot Blossom Village had a low realm and was just a bronze, but it was not until he made a move that he discovered that he was actually a king!

"You can predict my attack? It's just a coincidence!

Within ten rounds, I will definitely chop you under my blade!"

Yanagida Taku was furious and sneered repeatedly.

He couldn't accept that the other party was so calm under his Hidden Kill Slash, it was really hateful to the extreme, making him feel very embarrassed.

Huazaki didn't say anything, the speed of his sword was also very fast, the knife and sword constantly collided, the metallic trembling sound resounded throughout the arena, and the sky was filled with frost flowers.

At the same time, divine law overflowed from his body, spreading out, forming a field of several meters in radius.

Yanagida Taku's figure disappeared again and instantly appeared beside him.

This time, he still calmly avoided the slashing blade, but Yanagida Taku's body stiffened slightly, and he was in a slightly sluggish state.

He only felt that bone-chilling coldness invaded his body, causing his limbs to stiffen.

At this time, Huazaki's sword energy arrived, almost making it difficult for him to defuse it.

People watched the battle on the stage in shock.

That Huazaki of Apricot Blossom Village, not only could compete head-on with Yanagida Taku, but from time to time, he could actually gain a little advantage.

Just like the sword just now, Yanagida Taku almost failed to defuse it.

It was really outrageous, subverting cognition.

Below the stage, on the side of the Yanagida family, everyone's faces were gloomy, their hands clenched tightly, with a feeling of wanting to vomit blood.

It was clear that the strategy had been thought out, but every time something went wrong, unexpected things would happen, all of which were variables!

"The pure Emperor blood of Apricot Blossom Village is so strong, defeating the strong with the weak, and still gaining the upper hand!

This person must not be kept, you have to find an opportunity to challenge him and kill him on the duel stage.

Since ancient times, the higher-ups have never allowed the Emperor blood of Apricot Blossom Village to grow up.

It would be fine if he hid in the village.

There, resources are limited, and at best, he is only a True God Minor Celestial Position.

But now, this Huazaki has come out.

The resource grade of the Heavenly Gift Battle competition reward is extremely high.

If he continues to compete, by the time he reaches the County Competition, the resources he obtains will be enough to cultivate to the Greater Celestial Position and above!

This is something that the duel is not allowed to happen!"

A certain surface second-rate force master secretly said to their two True God Minor Celestial Position contestants.

"Patriarch, don't worry, he is only in the Demigod realm, killing him is just a matter of raising our hands.

As soon as we get on the stage, we will challenge the Apricot Blossom Village team.

At that time, he will undoubtedly die."

The two True God Minor Celestial Position contestants responded, their confident words were filled with contempt for Huazaki.
