Chapter 2467: Is Defeat Already Certain?
The Divine Artifact Master smiled slightly and spoke, "First battle, Fate Temple side wins. Void Hall Master, send your second person to fight."
"Di Xu, you go." The Void Hall Master's expression was not very pleasant. If Qiong Xie had won, this battle would have had no suspense whatsoever. However, Qiong Xie's defeat meant that the efforts of those who came after would be needed, and there might still be some variables, which naturally displeased him.
He had originally planned to use this first battle to directly decide the outcome of this arranged duel.
"Chu Chunqiu." The Fate Temple Master spoke, and Chu Chunqiu immediately walked out. The two descended onto the battle platform. Di Xu Saint released a surging aura, and without any words, he directly struck out with a palm. This palm seemed both real and illusory, as if unreal. Chu Chunqiu's expression froze for a moment. With a booming sound, the palm force directly struck his body, leaving everyone stunned.
Chu Chunqiu, who had ranked third in the Fate Temple's Nine Heavens Assembly in the past, was so easily defeated?
Di Xu Saint was also slightly surprised, but in an instant, he walked forward again, heading toward Chu Chunqiu. However, Chu Chunqiu's body drifted backward, and he spoke, "I admit I cannot match you. This battle, I concede."
As Chu Chunqiu's words fell, the entire space fell into dead silence. Everyone was shocked. Chu Chunqiu was also a legendary figure, yet he conceded without even fighting?
"This traitor." An elder from the Fate Temple roared angrily, and even a murderous aura spread from him. He had never expected that Chu Chunqiu would directly concede, causing Kong Ming's hard-won victory to be completely wasted.
"Ungrateful wolf."
"Rebel."
Curses rang out one after another, but Chu Chunqiu seemed completely oblivious, as if he didn't care at all.
Lin Feng looked at Chu Chunqiu, his expression calm, but there were slight ripples in his heart. He didn't know why Chu Chunqiu would do this. Even if he was ruthless and didn't care about the help the Fate Temple had given him, at least for his own honor, fighting a battle would have been justified. Why did he directly concede? The only possible outcome of doing this was that the Fate Temple would ultimately lose this arranged duel, thus facing a crisis of annihilation.
Chu Chunqiu, why did he want to harm the Fate Temple?
No one knew the answer. A strong member of the Fate Temple said in a low voice, "Let's kill this rebel."
"No!" The Fate Temple Master shook his head. If they killed Chu Chunqiu, where would the Fate Temple's face be? Wouldn't others say that the Fate Temple killed a disciple because he lost a battle?
"For a rebel, it's not worth it. Next battle." The Fate Temple Master said indifferently.
"Then this second battle is won by the Void Divine Temple side. For the third battle, it's still the Void Hall Master's turn to send someone to fight." The Divine Artifact Master sat as steady as Mount Tai, as if nothing could move him. His youthful face was radiant, contrasting sharply with the Weapon Forger standing below him.
"Bu Mie." The Radiant Gold Hall Master suddenly spoke, and Bu Mie Saint walked out. This Bu Mie Saint exuded an aura of extreme arrogance. His gaze fell on Zhou Rongman and Hou Qinglin on the opposite side, his battle intent sharp.
"I'll go." Zhou Rongman strode forward, standing opposite Bu Mie. His gaze was equally proud.
"Hmph." Bu Mie snorted coldly. With a thought, golden halos shimmered around his body, emitting a buzzing sound like metal, making people's eardrums tremble.
"Such a strong fluctuation." The crowd saw an invisible golden wave amplitude spreading from Bu Mie's body, giving a feeling of hardness and strength, like a king.
"This Bu Mie Saint King possesses the Indestructible Vajra King Body. He has been immersed in the Saint realm for many years, and his entire body is filled with the secrets of the Vajra King Body. His power is boundless, and his whole body is comparable to a Sacred King Weapon. Zhou Rongman has been missing for many years and only made a name for himself during the Nine Heavens Assembly. This time, he will probably lose." People speculated secretly.
A demonic light suddenly flashed in Zhou Rongman's eyes. He stepped forward and walked straight toward the Vajra King Body, throwing a straight punch.
How could Bu Mie be afraid of him? He also threw a Vajra fist directly. With a clanging sound, like metal striking, it shook everyone's eardrums. Both bodies retreated simultaneously. There was no terrifying airflow, only the most direct collision.
"Zhou Rongman's physical body is terrifying. He can actually contend with Bu Mie." The crowd was secretly shocked. However, since the Fate Temple had chosen him, Zhou Rongman must be extraordinary.
"Clang!" Bu Mie's body trembled, and waves of golden light oscillated from the acupoints all over his body. He stepped forward again, still throwing a terrifying punch. This punch was even more powerful. His entire arm turned golden, like an indestructible Vajra stone pillar, smashing everything.
Zhou Rongman let out a low roar and also threw a direct punch, without any divine abilities or Saint techniques.
"Crack!" The terrifying vibration made many people's eardrums uncomfortable. Waves of ripples spread in all directions, as if countless metallic sounds were echoing in the air.
"Their fists are probably comparable to Sacred King Weapons." Someone said in a low voice. The seemingly simple attacks, but their power could only be felt by experiencing them personally.
"Not bad." Bu Mie's battle intent continued to rise. Waves of golden light frantically oscillated outward, as if a movement was playing in the sky. However, this movement was extremely harsh, shaking many people to the point of feeling like they were about to collapse. The oscillating waves made people feel that Bu Mie's power was constantly burning.
Zhou Rongman roared angrily, and thousands of arms appeared on his body, densely packed, yet each arm was strong and powerful, full of a sense of strength.
"Clang!" A fist broke through the sky. Bu Mie's entire body was wrapped in golden light that filled the heavens. An unparalleled bell sound seemed to ring out in the sky. A force that swept across heaven and earth roared out. Golden light cut through that sky, destroying everything it passed. Bu Mie had unleashed his Saint technique attack.
"Roar!" An ancient aura of destruction surged from Zhou Rongman's body. His arms extended wildly, expanding one after another, wrapping up the entire sky, making Zhou Rongman's figure invisible.
"My name is Zhou Rongman!" A explosive roar came from the endless arms. Then, the overwhelming arms smashed everything, charging forward without hesitation toward the rolling bell sound and the golden light that cut through the sky.
"Such a strong momentum. Both of them are skilled in extremely powerful attacks, directly clashing head-on."
When the crowd saw the two attacks collide, the explosive scene was enough to make hearts race. If a Half-step Saint of the same realm were inside, the explosive force alone would be enough to destroy them. This momentum was definitely comparable to an ordinary Minor Accomplishment Saint King.
Hundreds or thousands of attacks stacked together. Both bodies were submerged by light and arms, leaving only the cold metallic sounds and mad roars.
"Kill, kill, kill!" A wave of golden light split everything, rushing out of that space.
"Roar!" The shaking roar carried unparalleled madness. In that wrapped space, countless collisions occurred. The crowd's eyes were fixed there until, after a long time, the collision sounds gradually subsided, and the light began to dissipate, revealing a shocking scene.
Half of Bu Mie's body had been bitten off or blasted apart, while in front of him was an ancient divine insect, coiled there, possessing the might of a divine dragon. However, brutally, this divine insect had been blasted into pieces, broken apart. This battle could be called cruel.
"You lost." Bu Mie stared at Zhou Rongman. Even with half his body remaining, he was still as cold as steel.
"Roar." The divine insect let out a roar, then suddenly fell downward, transforming back into Zhou Rongman.
A gentle beam of light caught Zhou Rongman's body, and then the Prophet walked out, taking Zhou Rongman back. At the same time, the Radiant Gold Hall took Bu Mie back. However, in this battle, the Fate Temple side had lost.
"There are only two rounds left. If the Fate Temple loses the next round as well, then this battle won't need to continue."
Everyone's gaze fell on the last four people: Lin Feng, Hou Qinglin, Tian Xin Mo Saint, and a mysterious Saint.
"Lin Feng and Tian Xin Mo Saint's battle is probably already a foregone conclusion. This battle, the Fate Temple has lost. What will today's situation evolve into?" People's hearts pounded. The pattern of the Nine Heavens would change after today. Not to mention Lin Feng, whether Hou Qinglin could defeat that mysterious person was unknown. He would very likely lose.
"It's all because of that rebel Chu Chunqiu. If not for him, we wouldn't be in this situation." Among the Fate Temple crowd, someone sighed softly. Three battles, two losses. The opponent still had Tian Xin Mo Saint and a mysterious strongman. In this battle, their hope was too slim.
"Continue." The Divine Artifact Master said calmly. That mysterious person walked out, a cold smile on his lips. It seemed that this battle could decide the outcome. Hou Qinglin, who had participated in the Nine Heavens Assembly, fighting him? Was that possible?
