At this moment, the great battle officially began, drawing everyone's attention. However, only a limited number of people could enter Tianjiao City, leaving many others to watch the battle closely from outside the city.
Blood rained down on the arena, and many vibrant lives were lost in that instant. In such a chaotic battle, both strength and luck were indispensable. If you were not strong enough, you would be killed quickly; if you were not lucky enough, it would be difficult to stand until the end.
From beginning to end, it was only a short fifteen minutes. When only ten people remained on the stage, the white light enveloped everyone again, and their battle ceased in an instant. They were then carried away from the stage. Then, a flash of red light appeared, and the corpses and flesh on the stage vanished without a trace. This method was truly eye-opening.
The second and third matches were the same; the victors survived by stepping on the blood of others. Even though they were seriously injured, their will was greatly strengthened after the bloody battle.
When it came to the fifth round, it was the senior brother's turn. Ye Xiruo and Si Hao looked at their senior brother, who had a baby face and looked weak and vulnerable, with tense expressions.
Sure enough, as soon as the white light on everyone disappeared, the senior brother was surrounded and attacked. There was no other way but to pick on the weak. Zishu looked so young, his figure was not imposing and strong, and his temperament was soft and weak. He was the perfect target.
In that instant, more than a dozen attacks came hurtling towards Zishu. Ye Xiruo covered her face: "I should have prepared a ghost mask for Senior Brother."
"No need." Si Hao's voice remained cold and hard.
Ye Xiruo peeked cautiously through her fingers at her senior brother, and sure enough, his baby face had turned completely black, as if someone owed him thousands of top-grade spirit stones.
The transparent Tai Shang grew larger and larger. Fei Kuaidi spun around, blocking all the attacks, then continued to grow, smashing down four or five people. Then, countless steel needles flew out from Zi Shu's flamboyant fan, instantly killing the remaining people. He then cleanly and efficiently killed the few who had been smashed down. Those who had intended to attack Zi Shu but were too late widened their pupils in shock. This wasn't a cute little white rabbit; it was clearly a violent one! And it seemed to be a pill refiner, yet so ruthless! *Sobbing* Who the hell told me pill refiners were all weak and needed protection? Run!
Soon, Zishu was all alone. Occasionally, some clueless people would come up and cleanly smash him into a meat patty with the Tai Shang. It looked so painful.
"Senior brother is so talented, Master is probably going to be furious."
Si Hao remained silent, his face cold. Throughout history, only this man would use a pill cauldron like a brick to smash someone. Stunned by Zi Shu's ruthless methods, so incongruous with his appearance, the number of people surrounding him dwindled. Zi Shu, however, had no intention of quietly being a handsome man. Instead, he controlled the Supreme Being, smashing it fiercely into the largest battle circle. Who died or was injured was of no concern to him; the massive cauldron continued searching for the next target. This arrogant attitude finally provoked the crowd's anger. Everyone prepared to unite and eliminate this eyesore of a pill refiner.
Ye Xiruo laughed rather unkindly: "Senior Brother has stolen the spotlight again."
Si Hao covered his face: "These people are no match for Senior Brother, even without using a sword."
Indeed, since entering the arena, Zishu hasn't drawn his sword at all. Instead, he's mimicking Senior Brother Zhiyi by taking a rather flashy-looking fan. And rightly so, this is only the first round of competition, with so many opponents watching. Naturally, he wants to conserve his strength for later, to secretly plot against those who might be outmaneuvered.
Ye Xiruo hadn't expected that the fan in her senior brother's hand was quite powerful; it must be a magic weapon of considerable quality. The fan spun in mid-air like a hidden weapon, sending up splashes of bright red blood. Meanwhile, the transparent Tai Shang had turned a magnificent purple. The people on the arena, unaware that this was due to Tai Shang being scorched by fire, sneered, "Little alchemist, you think you're something special just because you changed color? Watch Grandpa destroy this piece of trash of yours."
Before he could finish speaking, he was swallowed whole by the purple Supreme Being. A cold glint flashed in Zishu's eyes, and he quickly cast a few incantations. When the Supreme Being flew out again, there was nothing left inside.
A chill ran down everyone's spine. Good heavens, what kind of monster is this? How can it be so ruthless? A living person can be turned to ashes in an instant. Suddenly, Zishu's fan claimed several more lives.
Many people have already realized that Zishu is a tough nut to crack and have decided to give up and turn their attention to other people.
With the pressure lessened, Zishu immediately activated his fan and Taishang, relentlessly harvesting names one by one. The baby face remained fair, even bearing a shy smile, but no one dared to provoke Zishu anymore.
Nonsense, this thing is ruthless, it devours people without spitting out the bones. That little broken cauldron has already swallowed six or seven people, and they've all turned to ashes.
Zishu became the focus of the entire match, yet surprisingly, he didn't fall too badly by the end; a hint of reluctance could even be seen on his baby face. Was he still not done killing?
"The eldest brother has become famous."
"You've revealed too much." Si Hao commented seriously. Senior Brother's strength is indeed not suitable for acting. Why didn't he pretend to be more strained, even just a little bit? In the upcoming matches, Senior Brother will probably be under close scrutiny.
"It's alright, Senior Brother should have expected this outcome. Honestly, why did you have to use such a fine alchemy cauldron to roast people? Now it can't be used to make soup, what a pity."
"Soup should be cooked in a pot."
"You don't understand, do you? It's so convenient to cook soup in a cauldron, and it's delicious and environmentally friendly."
Si Hao held his sword, no longer wanting to talk to Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiruo didn't see any familiar faces in the next two rounds. But in the eighth round, she saw that bright and beautiful figure, as radiant as a blazing flame. Ye Xiruo blushed with excitement and grabbed Si Hao's hand, saying, "Second Senior Brother, look, look!"
Si Hao was completely confused. What was he looking at?
"Look at the beauty! Isn't that girl in the red dress gorgeous? She's so unique and powerful!" As Ye Xiruo spoke, the battle had already begun. Shangguan Ling was like a vibrant and beautiful flame, burning everything in her path.
Her strength had increased again, and her swordsmanship was now superb. The number of people who died at her hands soon exceeded three digits. Ye Xiruo shrank her neck, thinking, "This is another killing god."
