Chapter 1636
Chapter 1636 (Raw 1618):
No one expected that the early-stage Minor Primal Core black-clad youth Ling Yu would defeat Old Devil Liu, who had hundreds of years of combat experience, in ten moves.
The incredible battle ended very quickly, flabbergasting everyone.
The victor of this battle was the Black Cave Mountain's Ling Yu. Now, he equaled the Heavenly Shaking Mountain's elegant youth, Jiang Xuan, in number of consecutive victories.
Jiang Xuan, the elegant youth, smiled and said, "Ling Yu, pretty good. Do you dare to go bigger?"
"Do you think that I'm afraid?"
Ling Yu's lips curled up in a cold smile as he asked, "How do you want to play?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and replied, "We fight against three peak Minor Primal Core cultivators each at the same time. Let's see who obtains victory first. Do you dare to or not?!"
"What a joke! Why wouldn't I?"
The moment these youths said this, it caused an uproar in the entire dueling ring. How arrogant of them to want to fight against three!
Furthermore, they wanted peak Minor Primal Core cultivators, people who were two cultivation stages higher than them. More importantly, Jiang Xuan's words did not consider the possibility of defeat at all.
The bet between them was about who would obtain victory first.
"This is too arrogant. Not to mention fighting against three, they are actually competing over who will end their battles first."
"These two's auras are still flourishing. I wonder if anyone will enter, though."
"Don't worry. They already gained twenty-one consecutive victories. If anyone defeats them, the Spirit Jades rewarded will be a heavenly sum. There will always be someone who will give it a try."
As the crowd discussed, a group of three old men flew up to each of the two arenas.
Luo Nan exclaimed in shock, "These two people are really somewhat horrifying. Can they win?"
Xiao Chen was also startled in his heart. If it were him, he would find fighting against three somewhat tiring.
Peak Minor Primal Core cultivators were not scary. What was scary was that those Venerates that dared to go up at this time would not be ordinary people.
Without some trump cards, no one would go up.
Just what kind of place were the blessed lands for these two to be this confident?
Xiao Chen sank into deep thought, some anticipation stirring in his heart. He wanted to see the charm of the blessed lands for himself.
"Quick, place your bets! Place your bets!"
"I bet that these two fellows will not be able to last."
"That's right. They have already fought for so long. They must have exhausted at least half of their Veritable Essence Energy. I do not believe that they still can defeat three peak Minor Primal Core experts."
"I'll bet. I bet half of my wealth. The six people up there are all pirate bosses that are even more powerful than Old Devil Liu."
Before the battle began, the atmosphere in the dueling ring had also peaked. Everyone watched carefully and placed their bets.
Xiao Suo pondered, then asked, "Captain, should we join in the fun?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying, "Never mind. It is just a trivial matter. If we win too much, we probably will not be able to walk out of this dueling ring easily."
"Right, the person behind the dueling ring is not a person to offend."
"Boom!"
An explosion resounded in the dueling ring. Surging shock waves spread out in the air, wave after wave radiating into the surroundings and startling people.
As many of the cultivators who had made bets had anticipated, when fighting against three each, Ling Yu and Jiang Xuan no longer had as easy a time as before.
The six challengers in the arenas were clearly experienced, working perfectly with one another.
The ones with stronger physical defense stood at the front and delayed Ling Yu and Jiang Xuan, while the other two would continuously harass Ling Yu or Jiang Xuan, moving back after just one strike; such an approach was extremely frustrating.
The challengers in both the arenas used similar tactics.
This was relatively shameless, a battle of attrition that drained the two's Veritable Essence Energy.
No matter what, these two geniuses from the blessed lands were only early-stage Minor Primal Core cultivators. In the end, the cultivation of these old men, who were several hundred years old, was vaster and purer.
Such a method was shameless, but the effects were obvious.
In the arenas, Ling Yu and Jiang Xuan frowned. Clearly, they felt somewhat frustrated.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Take down these two people and destroy the pride of these geniuses!"
The atmosphere in the dueling ring heated up. Everyone saw hope for victory. This was especially so for those bettors who had again placed bets. They entered a frenzy, shouting until they went hoarse.
After more than twenty consecutive victories, these two outstanding talents from the blessed lands had already pushed the payout to a horrendous level.
If the old men won, everyone would earn a lot. However, if Ling Yu and Jiang Xuan won, the dueling ring would earn a lot, and the prize for the consecutive victories would be even more horrifying.
The situation in the arena went as Xiao Chen had expected. The two trios of old men who attempted the challenge were extremely experienced and worked perfectly together.
This led Xiao Chen to suspect that these old men were nurtured by the dueling ring for the express purpose of defeating those capable of consecutive victories. He had encountered similar situations before.
Xiao Chen glanced up and was surprised to see the West Wind Tower's Chief Manager Ding and a stern-faced old man looking down to watch the situation below.
The two were smiling. Clearly, the situation was still under their control.
Any owner of a dueling ring would feel heartache over the prize for consecutive victories more than twenty. It was natural for businessmen to pursue profits.
Suddenly, the entire crowd cried out excitedly. Xiao Chen swept his gaze across and discovered that Ling Yu had made a mistake and got struck twice in quick succession. The attacks forced him into a corner, and blood leaked out of his mouth.
In the other arena, Jiang Xian moved cautiously, but an attack still landed on him as well. His situation did not look good, either.
Incredible.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, These old men really work very well as threesomes. Furthermore, they laid trap after trap. Their combat experience is quite astonishing.
"Unfortunately, your cultivations are still a little too low. Otherwise, you really would have the chance to play around like this," one of the old men in the arenas said with a smile.
"Is that so?"
Ling Yu wiped off the blood on his lips. Then, he revealed a strange smile as he looked at the blood on his hand. "Old-timer, you are too naive."
He laughed coldly in the arena, then roared, and a heavy, overbearing, and bleak aura from the Great Desolate Eon burst forth from his body.
Suddenly, all the exposed skin on Ling Yu's body showed ripples that resembled starlight. It was like he turned into the resplendent Starry Heavens, vast, boundless, deep, and distant.
The layer of ripples on his body looked like skin and waves of light at the same time, appearing bizarre.
At the same time, Jiang Xuan, who had lost the upper hand in the other arena, snorted coldly.
Black marks appeared in Jiang Xuan's body, looking very exquisite and emanating a noble and proud aura. It was like armor covering his body.
The two gave off powerful auras. The six old men in the arenas felt asphyxiated as a soul-deep fear spread throughout their bodies.
"Attack! Attack!"
The old men all felt that something was wrong, so they endured the pressure and launched a barrage of attacks, trying to overwhelm the two.
However, something strange happened; no one managed to see what.
Miserable cries rang out, and the six old men in the two arenas all went flying out while vomiting blood.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The arena that Ling Yu was in burst out with countless starlight, dazzling everyone's eyes. Scintillating stars revolved around his body as he thrust his palm forward.
Hundreds of tiny twinkling stars shot out in a steady stream, whistling as they did so.
Before this attack struck the three old men, the spectators had already been pushed away by the aura that Ling Yu gave off, unable to resist.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In the next moment, as the three old men struck by stars hurtled through the air, their bones gave off cracking sounds.
When the three old men hit the floor, they immediately fell unconscious.
On the other side, Jiang Xuan was like a Great Desolate Eon ferocious beast. His footsteps were heavy, the ground trembling with every step. The three old men fighting him were immediately sent flying.
The Qi and blood of these three old men surged as their skin tore; they looked shrouded in spiderwebs. Blood leaked out of these tears—an extremely scary sight.
"Rumble…!"
A terrifying, invisible aura spread out from Jiang Xuan's and Ling Yu's bodies, which gave off intense sounds that echoed in the entire dueling ring.
"Plop! Plop!"
The weaker Yang Essence cultivators directly collapsed, unable to make a sound after being pushed to the ground by the pressure.
Even the spectators at the periphery felt their souls trembling inexplicably.
Xiao Chen's bloodline also became somewhat restless, and he could not help turning grave.
These two knew how to activate their Great Desolate bloodline and use it as they pleased.
"A Great Desolate bloodline…It's a Great Desolate bloodline!"
Many shouted out hoarsely, startled and unsettled.
