Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Hua Qi's choice tugged at the hearts of countless people in the entire arena.

Everyone's heart beat along with his footsteps, especially the people of the Yanagi family.

One of their remaining two team members was already poised and ready, prepared to be the first to step onto the stage.

The free-for-all battle mechanism, coupled with the challenger's priority, dictated that whoever stepped onto the stage first would gain the initiative.

Of course, if the strength was too weak, it wouldn't work either, which was why the forces from various towns had no intention of stepping onto the stage so far.

Just as Hua Qi's feet completely left the duel stage, the Yanagi family's contestant moved, rushing towards the duel stage like a gust of wind.

At the same time, Wu Xu, the Wu Sect's contestant, also moved.

His speed was obviously faster than the Yanagi family's contestant, after all, he was a bit stronger.

He arrived on the duel stage before the Yanagi family's contestant.

The Yanagi family's contestant was immediately stunned, standing offstage with a livid face.

"Wu Xu of the Wu Sect is challenging the Yanagi family's team!"

Wu Xu was quite straightforward, challenging the Yanagi family's contestant directly upon stepping onto the stage.

For a time, the Yanagi family head and the high-level members' facial muscles twitched fiercely, to the point that their faces were distorted.

"Wu Xu, don't go too far!"

The Yanagi family head was filled with anger.

Immediately, he turned to look at the Wu Sect Master and the Lin family head, and said: "Two fellow Daoists, aren't you bullying people too much by being so ruthless?

Our Yanagi family team of five members has already had three eliminated, leaving the two weakest in the team.

We already have no chance for the top three, why do you still have to be so excessive!"

His anger almost burned him up, his blood boiling.

But he forcibly restrained his anger, his tone carrying a trace of grievance, looking like a pushover.

Everyone was astonished to hear the Yanagi family head, who had always been so strong and never yielded in front of others, say such a thing.

This was no longer the strong and domineering Yanagi family head, but simply like a bullied little wife.

For some reason, everyone suddenly felt that the Yanagi family was a bit pitiful, and at the same time couldn't help but want to laugh.

Pitiful people may have hateful aspects.

This Yanagi family, before the competition had even officially started, had declared that the first place would definitely be theirs.

At that time, how confident they were, looking as if they didn't take the other teams seriously.

I remember that at that time, the young master of the Yanagi family said that he would do this and that to Hua Qi of Apricot Flower Village on the duel stage.

It really fulfilled the saying, 'Say the most arrogant words, receive the most vicious beating'.

Falling to this point, the Yanagi family can be said to be suffering the consequences of their own actions.

The Heaven-Sent Battle competition is originally about determining the winner on the duel stage, seizing first place based on ability.

Although the Lin family and the Wu Sect have allied, this is also a strategy within the rules.

"Yanagi family head, you must not be like this.

In front of so many people, with your expression and tone, those who don't know would think we did something to you.

The Heaven-Sent Battle competition is originally a mutual contest, could it be that you want us to let your Yanagi family team pass?

Not to mention that we are originally in a competitive relationship, and we don't seem to have that obligation, do we?

Your family's team, three people in the duel, all three took Qi-Sustaining Pills, do you think we can't see it?

You are quite generous, you can even get your hands on things like Qi-Sustaining Pills, that is a special medicine only sold in the county city, which can play a decisive role in the duel.

You used it, our team has no one using this kind of medicine, upright and honest, completely relying on hard strength to win.

We haven't pursued the matter of you using Qi-Sustaining Pills, already considering that the elimination of your three is indeed pitiful.

Now, you, the Yanagi family head, actually say such a thing, it is really unexpected."

"You are clearly deliberately targeting my Yanagi family!"

The Yanagi family head's face was ugly, he knew it would be difficult to change the attitude of the Lin family and the Wu Sect.

"Yanagi family head, this is a mistake.

This is the Heaven-Sent Battle competition, a place where teams from various forces compete, between any teams, except for alliances, there is a competitive relationship, so how can there be targeting?

Could it be that your Yanagi family is special, and others are not allowed to challenge you?"

"Sophistry, you are extremely shameless!"

The Yanagi family head was so angry that he cursed, he really couldn't hold back anymore.

"Oh, the Yanagi family head is really an interesting person.

Your Yanagi family's team can't win, so you say we are shameless?

Could it be that we have to deliberately lose to your team, that would be not shameless, right?

We are in a competitive relationship, we will have to duel sooner or later, now it is just advancing the duel, so as not to fight later, wouldn't it be easier to finish all the duels behind in one go?"

Listening to the words of the Wu Sect Master, the Yanagi family head was so angry that smoke was almost coming out of his head.

The Wu Sect Master and the Lin family head, these two bastards.

Are the duels behind the same as launching challenges to them continuously now?

In the duels behind, they can at least enter the top four and get some rewards.

Now in the duel, they can't even enter the top sixteen, and will become the first team to be eliminated.

A dignified hegemon-level force in Pingnan County.

Being the first to be eliminated in this Heaven-Sent Battle will become a joke in Pingnan County, and be used as gossip after dinner!

"Yanagi family head, do you have anything else to say? If not, please send a contestant from the Yanagi family to the stage for a duel."

The Lin family head said.

The Yanagi family head was silent, his face incomparably gloomy.

The high-level members of their family were also like this.

"Yanagi Hara is here to ask for guidance!"

The young man who wanted to step onto the stage but was preempted by Wu Xu leaped onto the duel stage.

He knew that he was not Wu Xu's opponent, but now that Wu Xu had challenged their team, it was impossible to escape, according to the rules they had to fight, unless they publicly announced their abandonment and withdrew from the Heaven-Sent Battle competition.

That would become a laughing stock, retreating without a fight, would be looked down upon.

Wu Xu smiled faintly, without saying anything, just silently summoned the Overlord Battle Spear.

"Wu Sect, Lin family, this family head will definitely make you pay a heavy price, you wait!"

The Yanagi family head secretly vowed, he decided to deal with the Lin family and the Wu Sect.

Let them regret their actions!

"You few take the family elder's seal, and go to the other counties closest to us!

Choose counties with more than four hegemon forces.

There are only three places in the top three of the Heaven-Sent Battle competition, other counties must have big forces that cannot enter the top three.

You find a way to convince them to come to Pingnan County, we will join hands to destroy the Wu Sect and the Lin family!

Tell them, as long as they are willing, after the Wu Sect and the Lin family are destroyed, the rewards obtained in the Heaven-Sent Battle will be all theirs, we, the Yanagi family, will only take one high-level pill!

I have long wanted to destroy them, but unfortunately there has never been a good opportunity.

Now, the rewards of the Heaven-Sent Battle competition are the root of their demise.

No county-level force can not be jealous of such rewards.

Those forces that failed to compete for the top three, how can they be willing?"

"Family head, if we do this, I'm afraid there will be movement on the garrison side."

A Yanagi family elder responded with divine sense.

"Garrison?"

The Yanagi family head sneered, and said: "As long as we persuade two big forces from other counties, they send strong people, we join hands to lie dormant, and attack the Wu Sect or the Lin family unexpectedly in the middle of the night, with three times their strength.

When the garrison learns about the situation and rushes over, one of the Wu Sect or the Lin family, the strong people will basically be dead.

With one major force left, and we are a three-party alliance.

In that case, whether the garrison wants to intervene, they have to weigh it, and weigh the pros and cons.

Go, hurry up.

If it's late, I'm afraid they will all set off to the county city.

After all, the journey is long, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.

Fortunately, the Heaven-Sent Battle competition will last for many days, so you have hope to arrive at those two counties before the end of the Heaven-Sent Battle county competition."

Those elders no longer said much, and quietly left.

At this time, on the duel stage, Wu Xu and Yanagi Hara, who were already prepared for battle, were waiting for the bell to ring.

After a few breaths, with a dong sound.

The bell rang.

Yanagi Hara launched an attack on Wu Xu first.

This battle did not last long, but in just a short quarter of an hour, Yanagi Hara could not hold on, his whole body was bleeding, and several places on his body were pierced by the Overlord Battle Spear.

In order to save his life, he had to admit defeat and left the duel stage in disgrace.

Wu Xu did not leave, and immediately launched a second round of challenges to the Yanagi family's team.

The Yanagi family head's face was already so angry that he didn't know what color it was.

People sympathized with the Yanagi family.

The Lin family and the Wu Sect were going to directly kick the Yanagi family out.

It can only be said that the Yanagi family team was too arrogant before the competition and offended Apricot Flower Village.

Otherwise, with Yanagi Taku's strength, Lin Mo and Wu Xu would not be opponents, they would not have come to this point.

Everything in the world has cause and effect.

The Yanagi family planted the evil cause themselves and reaped the evil fruit.

The last contestant of the Yanagi family team came to the stage.

The result was no suspense, facing Wu Xu, the Yanagi family's contestant had no hope of winning.

Although he roared and roared, attacking like crazy, he was easily resolved by Wu Xu.

Soon, the Yanagi family's contestant was covered in wounds, and finally admitted defeat, leaving the duel stage in a mess.

Next, Wu Xu continued to challenge, and the target he chose was the team of the second-tier forces in the county.

The faces of the power holders and high-level members of the forces to which the team he challenged belonged were very ugly.

They did not send the strongest person to the stage.

Although Wu Xu had fought two consecutive battles and consumed a lot of energy, they still didn't have the confidence to win.

In the end, they chose the weakest one to go on stage.

Without a doubt, Wu Xu won, achieving a five-game winning streak.

Over several matches, Wu Xu earned five points for the Wu Clan today alone, adding to yesterday's, for a total of six points.

Time also came to the afternoon.

Having won five consecutive matches, Wu Xu, according to the rules, could no longer continue challenging and had to step down to rest.

After he went down, the Lin family's participant decisively went on stage, choosing to challenge the second-tier forces as their target.

This angered the leaders of those second-tier forces, making them tremble with rage.

They could have clearly chosen teams from various towns, which would have been the best targets for farming points, but they insisted on choosing their teams. How hateful!

The Lin family's team also achieved a five-game winning streak.

When they chose teams to compete against, they all avoided that family team disguised as a second-tier force.

It got dark, and it was time to rest.

The arena became even more noisy.

At night, the arena was brightly lit, and a large number of merchants sold delicious food and drink, making a fortune.

The next morning, the first to take the stage were still the people from the Lin family and the Wu Clan.

Like yesterday, they launched challenges against the second-tier force teams, almost making the higher-ups of those second-tier forces vomit blood.

By the third day, the Lin family and the Wu Clan did not send any participants to the stage.

Yesterday, they had maximized their points.

Now, whether it was the Lin family or the Wu Clan, they each had more than twenty points.

With their participants not taking the stage, it was now the turn of the second-tier forces' teams to go on stage.

Each of them scrambled to be the first, all wanting to obtain the right to challenge first, and then use the teams from various towns to farm points.

Each of them won five consecutive matches on stage, eliminating many teams from various towns.

Fortunately, the number of second-tier forces was already small.

Yesterday, they were heavily eliminated by the Lin family and the Wu Clan.

Today, the remaining number of second-tier forces was very small.

After they had all farmed their points, there was no one on stage for a while.

However, this phenomenon only lasted for a moment.

Teams from various towns finally had the opportunity to appear.

They all challenged the top three teams from the towns, just like them.

Basically, they were evenly matched, with some being stronger and some being weaker, but the differences were mostly small.

This caused them to enter a state of fierce fighting.

For many days in a row, it was a competition between the top three teams from various towns.

Some teams were eliminated, and some teams won a lot of points.

As the number of teams decreased day by day.

Half a month after the start of the county competition, the total number of teams that had persisted to the present was more than thirty.

Now, the surviving teams were all eyeing the top sixteen.

Yanbo Island and Xiaoyuanshan also survived the competition during these days with difficulty.

Although two of the five members of their team had been eliminated.

But as long as they could successfully enter the top sixteen, then the team members who were eliminated before the top sixteen would regain the right to fight on stage after entering the top sixteen.

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the competition.

The teams from various towns were no longer actively taking the stage.

Now, the competing teams had all fought their way out of hundreds of teams, and no one could guarantee that they could definitely win against anyone.

They were already very cautious about taking the stage to challenge, because no matter what opponent they chose, there would be a possibility of losing.

Just when the arena was silent and no one was on stage, a young man walked out from a second-tier force's team.

He had an arrogant look on his face, a high and mighty posture, with one hand behind his back, he jumped onto the duel stage.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the young man.

The people present naturally recognized that this was a member of the Wu family's team.

Of the five members of the Wu family's team, only three had appeared since the start of the competition, and the remaining two had never taken action. This person was one of them.

Although this person had not taken the stage to duel with anyone, no one would think that he was weak.

Because the aura on his body was too strong.

From a distance, people could feel his strong aura, giving people a sense of oppression.

"How can the people of the Wu family have such an aura?"

People were very shocked. The Wu family was a second-rate family. Although their family disciples were not weak, they should definitely not have such a terrifying aura. This was even stronger than Liu Shengtuo's aura!

"How is this possible..."

The higher-ups of the Lin family and the Wu Clan looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

"No wonder the master told us not to let our participants challenge the Wu family. It turns out that the Wu family is hiding so deeply.

However, the master has keen eyes, and the Wu family's concealment has not escaped the master's eyes."
