Chapter 1245: Chapter 1245: The Brutal Tournament
Xu Nian’s true form, who at this moment is using the alias ’Wang Long’, is currently in the mountain cave comprehending the seventh level of Profound Argumentation.
The killings outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Initially, he rose to over a thousand in rank, but now he has dropped to over three thousand.
Xu Nian has reached the most critical moment of understanding.
If someone could light up the cave, they would definitely find that within this pitch-black mountain cave, there were extremely sharp knife-edge lotuses floating.
These lotuses floated in the air, yet they were filled with infinite killing intent.
The water curtain on the square outside kept rolling, and to increase the enjoyment of viewing, the Imperial Commerce would select some interesting battles or people to display on it.
Among them appeared the scene of Xu Nian hiding in this mountain cave.
The water curtain was pitch-black, showing only Wang Long’s eyes.
"Haha, this might be a fool. Does he think hiding in the cave is safe? He’s now over four thousand in rank, won’t he still have to die in a few days?"
"I think he’s a fool, hiding in the cave, I’m laughing to death. Does he think people will keep falling at his cave’s door for him to pick up points?"
...
The whole crowd burst into laughter, each of them thinking this ’Wang Long’ is a fool.
Not going out to hunt easier targets to earn points, choosing instead to hide at this time.
As time goes on, the survivors are all very strong, and by then, he won’t even be able to kill.
"Thirty-Six Forbidden Islands, isn’t this the forbidden island where Zhao Qingyi is located? It is said that Zhao Qingyi has offered, whoever can help her break into the top thousand and give her an Immortal Pill can have a thrilling time with her on this island."
"Yes, if I had that strength, I would definitely try. Damn, with so many people watching, dual cultivating with such an oiran beauty is an opportunity of a lifetime."
"I heard that the loose cultivator Tong Hai has been tempted and wants to try; the Four Great Sect genius disciples don’t dare due to face, but Tong Hai is different, he’s a loose cultivator, and his argumentation understanding has reached the sixth level, making him one of the top on the Thirty-Six Forbidden Islands."
"It’s a real bargain for Tong Hai, though it’s also his strength, unlike the guy hiding in the cave, who probably doesn’t even have the power to seize the opportunity even if it presented itself."
...
Around them was another burst of sighs.
"This kid is also a peculiar one, hiding in the cave. In the end, he still has to die. It would be better to die spectacularly. But that Zhao Qingyi is too shameless, using such means to grab attention, doesn’t the Emperor Chamber of Commerce care?" Shi Guangxu said with a lecherous smile.
"Not at all, Zhao Qingyi is originally an oiran, doing business wherever she pleases. As long as she has the guts, even if she sleeps with everyone on the forbidden island, the Emperor Chamber of Commerce won’t care." Tianbao Pavilion Master laughed.
"That’s really thrilling, my heart’s itching to try seeing what it’s like with so many people watching." Shi Guangxu said eagerly.
"Heh, even if you want to, I bet Zhao Qingyi doesn’t fancy you. With your strength, you’ll be killed the moment you enter the forbidden island." Li Anshan retorted bluntly.
Having gotten familiar with Shi Guangxu, he understood Shi Guangxu’s personality.
This guy just needs to be retorted, or he’d surely be insufferable.
"Hmph, one day I’ll become powerful enough to make all women submit to me." Shi Guangxu said angrily.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Mei Ji glared over from the side.
Startled, he immediately fell silent.
Xu Nian hiding in the cave was just a joke, making everyone laugh, and soon he was forgotten.
One by one, everyone was looking at the water curtain in astonishment.
At this moment, a figure was displayed on the water curtain.
A young man wielded a single sword, slaying more than a dozen Earth Immortal Peak powerhouses, his clothes unstained by even a speck of dust in the end.
"So strong!"
"Incredibly strong!"
"Is this Jiang Shengtian’s strength? This is just too strong!"
...
The crowd was in amazement. Surrounded by more than a dozen people, he killed them all with just one sword.
Such astonishing means simply made their hearts surge.
Yes, this young man was Jiang Shengtian.
At the same time, Jiang Hao of Haotian Sect and Hong Xi of Chaos Sky Sect each displayed their powerful strength.
Every move they made left everyone in awe.
These genius figures would undoubtedly become the brightest stars of the whole Immortal Order Competition.
The Four Great Demon Clans also showcased remarkable strength, each of them ruthlessly killing their opponents.
What surprised everyone the most was still the Desolate Clan youth dressed in beast skin.
No matter who he encountered, he only needed one punch.
One loose cultivator, whose argumentation understanding reached the seven-level profound, died at his hands, someone who everyone regarded highly.
Seventh-level profound powerhouse, defeated in a single move.
Such strength is likely enough to crown the champion of this event.
"Too strong! Are these really people who’ve only cultivated for less than a hundred years? This is just heaven-defying!"
"Yes, these geniuses have cultivated for less than a hundred years, yet they stand at the peak of the cultivation world. Imagine us old folks who have lived for thousands of years, still struggling on the stairs of profound argumentation!"
...
Some were amazed, and others lamented on the scene.
The performance of these geniuses left them in awe.
As for those fallen geniuses, they were once unmatched in their worlds.
But here, they could only become stepping stones for others.
No one felt sorry for them, nor did anyone applaud them.
Those peerless geniuses who stepped over others’ lives gained everyone’s support and attention.
One warrior’s success over countless bones, that’s the true meaning.
Time quickly passed, with only three days left out of ten.
Xu Nian, who had been sitting in the mountain cave, finally condensed the last lotus, with a gleam of sharpness in his eyes.
"Phew, finally broke through to the Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation seventh level, comprehending the sixth style of the Dragon King Cone." Xu Nian said to himself in delight.
During these seven days, he never stopped comprehending.
In the end, he managed to break through.
"Just in time, with three days left, I’ll fight for more points for myself. I wonder how the outside world is doing now." Xu Nian wondered to himself.
He took out the points token in his hand and was surprised to find that his token points had increased again.
"Huh, it’s actually risen to sixteen hundredth place, seems like there aren’t many people left!" Xu Nian said with a smile.
Then he put away the points token and headed out of the cave.
At this moment, the water curtain outside also switched to the scene of Xu Nian walking out of the mountain cave.
"Huh, this guy actually came out of the cave, why not hide a bit longer, maybe he could really break into the top thousand in the end."
"Haha, he probably can’t stand it anymore, wants to come out for some fresh air."
The scene immediately drew a burst of laughter, with everyone looking mockingly at ’Wang Long’ on the water curtain, their eyes full of disdain.
