The young man was even more ordinary than Yang Cheng, with a common face. He wielded a rusty scimitar, yet he defeated Nie Beiyan so badly that Nie Beiyan couldn't lift his head and even had to admit defeat.
No one expected that the two top sects in the martial arts world would be eliminated in the first round at the same time, and that the two who eliminated them were both unknown figures.
This made everyone increasingly realize that this martial arts tournament was far from over.
After the first round, everyone rested for half an hour to recover their energy before entering the second round.
Xuanyuan Valley God and Fang Wuwo went inside Tianyi Tower to rest.
Upon entering the building, Xuanyuan Valley God said in a chilling voice, "Fang Wuwo, what did you tell me before? This martial arts tournament is guaranteed to be a success, and the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader is definitely in the hands of my Xuanyuan family!"
Now two mysterious experts have suddenly appeared, and you're telling me you haven't found even the slightest bit of information about them.
"Then what have we been spending all these years, with the Xuanyuan family investing so much money in your Tianyi Tower? Are we just burning money? Did these two guys spring from a rock?!"
Fang Wuwo quickly said, "Patriarch Xuanyuan, please calm down. It's not that there's a problem with the intelligence system of my Tianyi Tower, but that these two guys are definitely suspicious!"
Now, the intelligence network of Tianyi Tower has infiltrated the entire martial arts world, and we even have sources of information from the Jurchens in the north and the Golden Horde.
These two guys are definitely not nobody in the martial arts world; they've definitely come with a purpose!
"Of course I know they came with a purpose, otherwise what would be the point of having you?"
Xuanyuan Valley God was also furious.
But now that the martial arts tournament has begun, it's too late to say anything. They can only follow the script and move on from one scene to the next.
Yang Cheng's persona as a mysterious master has already been established. When he was drawn in the second round, the leader of a small sect on the other side did not even hesitate and immediately chose to abstain.
He had witnessed Yang Cheng's strength firsthand, and Yang Cheng's actions were ruthless; he had even crippled one of Pei Ang's arms.
The martial arts tournament was a grand occasion, and a good thing in itself, so everyone was relatively restrained in their attacks, except for those who had grudges against each other.
People like Yang Cheng, who can cripple someone's arm with a single move, are rare. No one dares to confront such a ruthless opponent.
Therefore, Yang Cheng successfully entered the third round, while the other person named Zhang Zhi made another move, which happened to run into the Song family of Tianhe.
Song Chengyuan hadn't originally intended to accept the challenge, but since he was already there, if he didn't accept the challenge and simply forfeited, wouldn't he be just like those other lower-level forces?
Therefore, Song Chengyuan was also severely abused, and it was another one-sided suppression.
Fortunately, Song Chengyuan was quite quick-witted. As soon as he saw things were going wrong, he immediately switched to a defensive stance and surrendered, thus avoiding serious injury.
After six rounds, only four people remained on the field: Yang Cheng, Zhang Zhi, Xuanyuan Valley God, and Xiao Yuanchen, the head of the Lin Yuan Xiao family.
In the final round, Zhang Zhi and Xiao Yuanchen were the first to be drawn.
Actually, Fang Wuwo wanted to arrange a fight between Yang Cheng and Zhang Zhi, those two mysterious troublemakers, so that one of them would be eliminated.
Unfortunately, there are only four people left now, and even the slightest movement during the draw will be noticed by others.
So he couldn't interfere, and could only arrange things this way.
Xiao Yuanchen stepped onto the arena and said, "Brother, we probably don't have a chance to compete for the position of alliance leader, so how about we have a symbolic exchange of a few moves and then everyone step down from the stage?"
The Xiao family of Linyuan is considered to be of average strength among the five major families, slightly weaker than the Xuanyuan family of Tianfeng Island and the Song family of Tianhe.
However, given his ability to get this far, luck played a major role; he drew too many losers.
So winning or losing this round doesn't really matter. Anyway, the position of martial arts alliance leader will definitely not be his, so why bother fighting on the stage?
Therefore, he also hoped that his opponent thought the same way, so that the two of them could stop being at odds and give each other a way out.
At this moment, Zhang Zhi, who had been expressionless the whole time, looked at Xiao Yuanchen and revealed an extremely terrifying smile.
"Patriarch Xiao, I defeated several opponents before I finally got the chance to have a proper match with you."
You think you can just leave now? It's not that easy. Since you're already here, you're not going anywhere!
At this moment, Zhang Zhi was no longer expressionless; instead, his entire being was filled with a chilling killing intent.
A black light flashed on the rusty scimitar in his hand, and the intense energy instantly swept away the rust, leaving a sharp and extreme edge!
