Chapter 275 - Demon Ox Clan
Chapter 275: Demon Ox Clan
On Wang Zhixing’s side, a total of seven people had reached the Nascent Soul realm: the five Peak Masters, Zhao Xuanxuan, and Ma Qingxue.
These people had been present since Qin Chuan started his cultivation career; they could be considered pioneers. At the same time, they also had Souls.
Needless to say, Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue were the first to awaken their Souls, and they were very powerful.
The five Peak Masters, including Wang Zhixing, were all elites among the cultivators.
These seven people with the highest cultivation levels would definitely participate in the battle.
On the Lomerian’s side, there were only five Nascent Soul cultivators.
These five would definitely participate as well.
So there were still five spots left.
According to the tactical arrangements, these five people would directly admit defeat.
Theoretically speaking, although they did not need to fight, Wang Zhixing still chose three Golden Core disciples with relatively strong abilities to prevent any accidents from happening. The Lome race also sent two warriors.
Now, the participants had been selected, and their tactics had been decided. Whether they would win or lose would depend on their performance.
On the other hand, Aatrox’s side did not prepare and was extremely confident.
His confidence came from his own strength and trust in his members.
Besides, his favorite thing to do was to give someone false hope.
Isn’t Tarot confident?
If he thinks he can win, then I’ll let him think he can win.
When the time comes, I’ll crush all his hopes. I can’t wait to see that look of despair and helplessness!
In next to no time, the participants from both sides moved forward by a certain distance.
Aatrox glanced at them contemptuously, not taking them seriously at all.
“Since you’ve selected your people, then let’s begin the battle!” Aatrox said indifferently.
“Wait!” Elder Tarot said.
Aatrox glanced at him. “What? You want to go back on your word?”
Elder Tarot replied, “Before the fight begins, let’s first discuss the rules.”
“Haven’t I already stated them before? The rules are very simple. Admit defeat or be beaten to death.” Aatrox said impatiently.
Elder Tarot replied, “This concerns our future. We have to be more cautious.”
Aatrox said, “Then tell me how you want to be cautious.”
Elder Tarot and Wang Zhixing looked at each other and said, “Firstly, you are not allowed to use the powers of the [Nirvana Beasts]. Once you do, it will be considered a loss.
“Next, the battle space.
“Later on, we will set up a barrier. As long as one sidesteps out of the barrier, it will be judged as a loss.
“Lastly, no one else is allowed to interfere during the battle. Otherwise, it will be deemed as a loss.”
“Is that all?” Aatrox said flatly.
Elder Tarot nodded. “I hope you can abide by them.”
“Tch!” Aatrox didn’t seem to mind at all. “Then quickly set up the barrier!”
Wang Zhixing then ordered the disciples behind him.
A few minutes later, a huge barrier was created with the disciples’ hard work.
The barrier was a cube with a length, width, and height of three kilometers. The space was extremely large.
The designated combat space was also used to guard against people who only knew how to dodge and were extremely fast.
If one could not touch his opponent the whole time, what was the point of fighting?
Soon after, the participants from both sides entered the barrier, and the duel began.
On Aatrox’s side, the first to go on stage was a minotaur.
This minotaur was tall and sturdy. He was more than five meters tall, and his muscles were huge and incomparably strong.
He wore dark red armor, and his weapon was a huge spiked club.
Elder Tarot introduced him, “That person is from the Demon Ox Clan.
“Their race was born with great strength and abnormally strong physical defense.
“At the same level of strength, it would be extremely dangerous if they are allowed to get close.
“However, they are slow and not agile enough.
“As long as we don’t give him a chance to get close, he won’t pose much of a threat.”
Wang Zhixing asked, “What about his strength?”
Elder Tarot replied, “If it’s pure strength, then there’s no doubt that all the members of this Beast Taming Corps are very strong.
“But because his body is too bulky and not agile enough, he can only be considered average.”
Wang Zhixing thought it over. “In that case, he is still very threatening.”
Elder Tarot nodded. “Just to be safe, let’s admit defeat in the first round!”
Wang Zhixing had no objections.
“Mu, you’ll take the first round.
“Remember, when the battle begins, admit defeat immediately.”
Elder Tarot sent out a young warrior from the Lome race.
“Elder, I understand.”
Mu’s strength was equivalent to a middle or late-stage Golden Core cultivator. He was not considered weak.
Mu and the minotaur left their respective camps and prepared to fight.
At this moment, Aatrox said, “I suddenly want to add a rule.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Tarot and Wang Zhixing immediately frowned.
They knew a request that was made at this point would definitely be detrimental to their side.
Aatrox smiled as he looked across and said, “Tarot, you said it yourself. Since it’s a battle, we must be more cautious.
“So I intend to add a rule.
“In a battle, the duration of the battle must be at least ten minutes. Admitting defeat is not allowed until the stipulated time is up. ”
On the surface, Aatrox didn’t seem to care about anything, but he actually understood everything.
He had already guessed that the other party would make their weak admit defeat and send their strong to fight with the weak.
Although adding this rule did not change the outcome much, it was impossible to admit defeat directly.
He was confident that the members of his team could kill the other party within ten minutes.
When they heard this, the expressions of the Elder Tarot and Wang Zhixing abruptly changed.
Elder Tarot immediately replied, “We disagree with this rule.”
Aatrox smiled. “Tarot, we’ve already made a huge concession, this rule I’ve just added is very fair to both of us.”
“You…” Due to his anger, Elder Tarot’s face turned especially red as though it was filled with blood.
But even though he was angry, he could not think of a reason to refute him.
At this moment, Wang Zhixing pat Elder Tarot on the shoulder and said calmly, “Ten minutes it is. As long as we can persist, there won’t be a problem.”
“But the problem is that we might not be able to hold on,” Elder Tarot said anxiously.
He knew very well why the other side had proposed this rule, and so did Wang Zhixing.
But now that the initiative was in the other party’s hands, he was rather helpless. They had no choice but to put up a last-ditch fight.
After calming down, Elder Tarot could only helplessly agree.
At this moment, Wang Zhixing arrived at the side of the Lome young warrior.
He took out a storage bag.
Wang Zhixing took out some bottles containing spirit pills from his storage bag and explained.
“This is the [Strengthening Pill]. After consuming it, it can increase one’s strength.
“This is the [Wind Spirit Pill]. After consuming it, it can increase one’s agility.
“This is the [Rejuvenation Pill]. After consuming it, one can recover from injuries.”
…
Wang Zhixing said many things, explaining the effects of each spirit pill.
Following that, he took out some Dao talismans from his storage bag.
“This is called a Dao talisman. I’ll teach you how to use it.”
Wang Zhixing tapped Mu’s forehead with his finger and imparted the usage method of the Dao talismans to Mu, and shared the effects of each Dao talisman.
A few minutes later, Wang Zhixing returned to their camp.
The battle between Mu and the minotaur began.
