C408 Borrowing the Hand of Broken Rock
"Who will draw lots?" Daoist Yidu looked at Marquis Tian Feng. The person who drew lots could sometimes decide a lot of things.
"I am the person in charge of this examination. Why can't I draw the lots myself?" Marquis Tian Feng asked.
Loong Yi's eyes flickered. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that if such a small matter requires Lord Marquis to personally take action, then it would be a loss to Lord Marquis's status. Why don't you let me do it for you? "
Since we are each in our own camp and don't trust each other," said Marquis Tian Feng with a faint smile. Why don't we let the Sect Chief of Nine Saints Sword Sect draw lots for us? He doesn't belong to any of our camps. We can maintain a certain level of fairness. "
"Alright." Loong Yi had already guessed Marquis Tian Feng's intentions. The discord between them had long been known by everyone. Nine Saints Sword Sect had always had an aloof and independent position. If the Nine Saints Sword Sect was in charge of drawing lots... On the surface, it was at least fair.
"We have no objections." Master of the Falling Pavilion and the others also spoke. Although they had their own plans, they all decided that the Sect Chief of Nine Saints Sword Sect would draw lots.
"Then I won't be polite anymore." The Sect Chief of the Nine Saints Sword Sect took a step forward and arrived at the Battle Platform. Not long after that, a group of people walked up slowly and handed over the boxes with the names of the god 's favored. There was a hole in the box, which was just enough for the Sect Chief of the Nine Saints Sword Sect to draw lots.
The Sect Chief of the Nine Saints Sword Sect placed his palm on the hole. A suction force was generated all of a sudden. A piece of paper was sucked up by him. When he opened it, he saw three words written on it: Sun Tianwang.
Then, the Sect Master of the Nine Saints Sword Sect drew another two people. They were the young man of the Nine Saints Sword Sect, Sword Cultivator Tian Wu, and the god 's favored of the Falling Pavilion, Zi Hen.
"Be careful." Han Feng told Sun Tianwang. Sun Tianwang nodded his head, and with a flash, he arrived at the Battle Platform.
The other two also stepped forward. Zi Hen's combat strength was relatively ordinary, so Sun Tianwang wasn't worried about him. However, the Heavenly Comprehension of the Nine Saints Sword Sect was a tricky opponent. His sword technique was extremely brilliant, and it would be very difficult for him to defeat him.
"Let's begin." The Sect Master of Nine Saints Sword Sect announced. In an instant, Tian Wu thrust his sword at Sun Tianwang. Thousands of sword shadows swept out at the same time, filling Sun Tianwang's surroundings with endless sword shadows. The sword lights that blotted out the sky and covered the earth seemed as if they were going to devour him.
Zi Hen's huge palm struck out at the same time. Black and white talisman symbols interweaved and circulated on the huge palm print, striking at Sun Tianwang.
At the beginning of the battle, both of them had locked onto Sun Tianwang. They didn't know if it was a coincidence or if it was arranged beforehand.
"If Tian Wu wants to have a fair fight with Sun Tianwang, he will eliminate the weaker Zi Hen first. After that, he will focus on fighting Sun Tianwang. However, his current strategy was obviously to join forces with Zi Hen. Defeat Sun Tianwang and seize the victory of this battle." Han Feng analyzed the situation in his mind. It was something he didn't want to see. In the end, the Nine Saints Sword Sect and the Marquis's Mansion had joined hands.
Sword shadows rained down from the sky. Sun Tianwang's Qi was surging. Countless devouring vortices gathered on his palm and swept out at the same time. In an instant, the sword shadows were swallowed by the whirlpools. He also struck out with his palm and the devouring palm swept out. It collided with Zi Hen's black and white symbol palm.
A great battle erupted between the three of them. Heavenly Comprehension and Zi Hen's offensive power were both extremely terrifying. After the first round of selection, the god 's favored that entered the second round were clearly even more formidable. Black and white palm prints and sword energy interweaved and attacked at the same time. They wanted to break Sun Tianwang apart.
Sun Tianwang took a step forward and appeared in front of Zi Hen in a flash. Both of his palms struck out at the same time, colliding with Zi Hen. However, at this moment, a black hole appeared in Sun Tianwang's palm. Zi Hen wanted to stop, but it was already too late. His spiritual energy was continuously being devoured by Sun Tianwang. A terrifying force enveloped the purple hole, making it impossible for him to escape from Sun Tianwang's devouring force.
"Save me!" Zi Hen begged Tian Wu for help. Tian Wu's expression turned serious. He knew that Sun Tianwang's Intent of Devouring couldn't be underestimated. Immediately, he swung his long sword, sending out numerous sword beams. At the same time, he slashed at Sun Tianwang, as if he was going to be cut into pieces.
Sun Tianwang retracted one of his palms and struck towards Tian Wu. The devouring force was rolling in the air. The sword light of Tian Wu was swallowed by Sun Tianwang. Immediately after that, the devouring force enveloped Tian Wu as well. Tian Wu was unable to escape. At the same time, he could feel his own strength fading away.
"He actually swallowed the strength of two god 's favoreds at the same time!" Everyone was shocked. Sun Tianwang's Intent of Devouring was actually so overbearing. It could devour the spiritual energy of two god 's favoreds figures at the same time and transform them into its own strength. It could be said to be terrifying.
"Not good!" The Nine Saints Sword Sect's Sect Master's eyes revealed a cold light. Originally, he wanted Tian Wu and Zi Hen to cooperate with him. They had teamed up to kill Sun Tianwang, but Sun Tianwang was extremely powerful. Clearly, it had exceeded his expectation. In this way, it wouldn't just be Zi Hen. Even Tian Wu had to die in Sun Tianwang's hands.
"Don't fight to the death." The Sect Master of Nine Saints Sword Sect shouted loudly. The sound waves rolled in waves, as if there was an invisible force attacking Sun Tianwang's body. Sun Tianwang let out a muffled groan and put down Tian Wu and Zi Hen.
"Hu!" Tian Wu and Zi Hen were relieved of a heavy burden after being put down. They had a very scary feeling earlier. If the Nine Saints Sword Sect Sect Master didn't stop them, they would have been sucked dry.
"The Sect Chief of Nine Saints Sword Sect is so powerful. As the judge, he actually dared to attack the contestant. This is really fair." Daoist Yidu spoke, expressing the injustice for Sun Tianwang.
The Sect Chief of Nine Saints Sword Sect's sharp eyes fell upon Venerable Yi Du, then he said in an indifferent tone, "I just forgot to mention the rules earlier. I just want to remind him. There's nothing else I can do."
"I hope that's the case." Daoist Yi Du said indifferently. He didn't really want to replace the Sect Chief of Nine Saints Sword Sect. The other judges weren't necessarily better than the Sect Master. He just wanted to let the people of Tianfeng City see the situation clearly. He wanted to know about the activities of the Nine Saints Sword Sect and the Marquis's Mansion.
"I should be the one who won this battle, right?" Sun Tianwang looked at the Sect Chief of the Nine Saints Sword Sect. The latter nodded slightly, and Sun Tianwang smiled brightly. He took a step forward, although the Sect Chief had injured him a little. Compared to the spiritual energy he had absorbed from Tian Wu, Sun Tianwang still had the upper hand.
Tian Wu and Zi Hen had ugly expressions on their faces. They returned to their respective camps. Unless they could defeat the top 17, it would be very difficult for them to participate in the assessment of King's Banquet.
"The first battle is very beautiful." Loong Yi praised Sun Tianwang. Although this guy was usually glib and glib, his true martial arts was also not vague. He did not bring shame to the academy.
Next, the Sect Master of the Nine Saints Sword Sect started drawing lots again. Another three names were drawn. One of them was the top god 's favored of the Marquis's Mansion, Guo Ruloong.
Guo Ruloong's opponent was the ordinary god 's favored of the Hongtian Academy and the Longevity Temple.
There was no suspense in this battle.
As soon as Guo Ruloong stepped onto the stage, he launched a violent attack. The golden dragon's shadow kept sweeping across until both of his opponents were knocked down from the Battle Platform.
In the third battle, Chen Huang stepped onto the stage and fought with the god 's favored and the Sword Cultivator of the Nine Saints Sword Sect. Scorching flames circulated all over his body. It was as if his body was covered with a layer of fiery feather clothing. It was extremely dazzling. The people of Wuyan Palace and Nine Saints Sword Sect had never thought that their opponent would be so difficult to deal with. The battle lasted for four hours. Both of them were defeated by Chen Huang.
Chen Huang had become one of the candidates to enter the final ranking in Hongtian Academy.
Including Sun Tianwang, there were already two of them.
"Tuoba Wushuang, Duan Yan, Young Master Fanyun, Han Feng and Han Lei all have the ability to win." Loong Yi looked at the remaining people and smiled. If nothing unexpected happened, these five people could also pass this round of assessment. There would be seven people who could be counted as Sun Tianwang and Chen Huang.
The Earth Ranking this year was not bad.
"Do you think your wishful thinking will work?" At this moment, Marquis Tian Feng's voice sounded in Loong Yi's ears. His eyes turned slightly cold, and he saw the fourth contestant stepping onto the Battle Platform. Among them were Young Master Fanyun and Bixin.
"It seems like Marquis Tian Feng isn't so easy to deal with." Loong Yi's eyes sparkled. With Bixin's combat strength, she could definitely fight Young Master Fanyun. With the help of the remaining person, it wouldn't be difficult for her to defeat Young Master Fanyun.
Sure enough, after more than a hundred rounds, Young Master Fanyun was defeated. The final victor of this battle was Bixin.
"Don't worry. After the top seventeen are selected, you can still challenge them." Han Feng comforted Young Master Fanyun.
"Of course." Young Master Fanyun smiled. With his strength, it would be difficult for him not to enter the top twenty.
Even if there were some unfair and man-made factors involved, the Hongtian Academy and Longevity Temple weren't afraid of them. They had full confidence in their god 's favored warriors, and believed that they would be able to obtain an outstanding result.
As long as they had sufficient strength, they didn't have to worry about not being able to enter the final King's Banquet.
In the following matches, one female disciple from Wuyan Palace was eliminated, two disciples from the Falling Pavilion were eliminated, and the people from the Longevity Temple were also eliminated.
"First place in this battle, Duan Yan." The Sect Chief of the Nine Saints Sword Sect said. Immediately, many eyes were focused on Duan Yan. This young man who cultivated the dark cultivation technique, god 's favored, was known for his ruthlessness. No one knew who would be so unlucky as to become his opponent.
Unless it was those top grade god 's favored, it would be very difficult to deal with Duan Yan, right?
"Second place, Marquis's Mansion, Hu Li." The Sect Chief of Nine Saints Sword Sect selected another person and said.
"Last place, Hongtian Academy, Han Feng."
As soon as his voice faded, everyone was stunned for a moment. The one facing Duan Yan was Han Feng, who was also from Hongtian Academy.
"The people who are selected are all randomly selected, even if there are people from the same sect. It's normal. " The Sect Master of Nine Saints Sword Sect said with a faint smile, but it made many people curse in their hearts. This old fox wanted to borrow Duan Yan's hand. He wanted to get rid of Han Feng!
