"Captain!"
Seeing Wang Tuo collapse on the ground, spewing blood, the members of the Loulan team cried out in worry and rushed into the arena towards Wang Tuo.
However, one person was faster than them!
Qi Wufu!
As the Marshal of the Military Department, Qi Wufu flashed his figure, as if he had shrunk the distance, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Wang Tuo.
"I... I'm sorry, Marshal. I didn't ask for your permission to fight, and I failed to kill the enemy..."
Wang Tuo looked at Qi Wufu with self-blame, spitting blood foam, and said hoarsely.
"Little Wang, you've done very well."
Qi Wufu interrupted Wang Tuo with a shake of his head.
He had a good personal relationship with Wang Tuo's father.
After Wang Tuo's father died in battle, he and some of the Military Department's high-ranking officials took great care of Wang Tuo, treating him like a nephew.
Just now, when Wang Tuo stepped forward to challenge the white-robed youth from beyond the domain, Bai He, he had been very worried.
At this moment, seeing Wang Tuo covered in blood, his internal true qi fluctuating weakly, he felt extremely distressed.
With his words, he stopped talking nonsense and directly bent down to pick up Wang Tuo, then whisked towards the entrance of the arena, preparing to hand Wang Tuo over to Li Xiaoman, the school doctor of the East Sea Martial Arts Academy, for treatment.
Seeing this scene, the representatives of the five great families from beyond the domain did not stop them, nor did they make a sound.
Because, according to the rules set by Xilai earlier, the martial arts tournament was a warm-up. As long as one side conceded, the competition would be terminated.
Xilai did not speak either, but her expression was somewhat grim.
As the most powerful martial arts prodigy in the outer domain, her world only knew victory and crushing opponents. She had thought her martial prodigy could easily defeat the challenger, but things did not go as planned, which somewhat embarrassed her and cast a shadow over her mood.
"Xilai, your martial prodigy had an arm severed and is seriously injured. Let him come down and rest for a while. Next, let my martial prodigy have a go."
Just then, the martial arts prodigy from beyond the domain, a nine-star War God of the eleventh stage, suddenly spoke.
He was the second-ranked martial arts prodigy in the outer domain, named Lin Yu. He had been competing and vying with Xilai in secret.
Just now, Xilai's martial prodigy Bai He had lost face, and Lin Yu wanted his own martial prodigy to perform.
"Bai He's injuries are not serious; he can continue to fight."
Xilai, with a clear mind and a poker face, refused outright.
On the arena, Bai He immediately sealed the wound with his true qi to stop the bleeding and then swallowed a healing pill.
Even if Xilai hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have retreated like this – it would have been his shame and would have caused Xilai to lose face!
He wanted to stay on the field, kill the next challenger, and wash away the shame!
"Who else wants to step onto the stage?!"
After simply treating his injuries, Bai He cast a murderous gaze towards the area where the Earth martial artists were.
His gaze first swept towards Gede, the disciple of the City Lord of the City of Sin.
Sensing Bai He's gaze, Gede's heart stirred, and he took a step forward, deciding to challenge.
He had been stuck at the tenth stage of the two-star War God for some time and had been looking for an opportunity to stimulate his potential and find a breakthrough.
This was also why he had agreed to a martial arts sparring with Jiang Wuming before.
In such a situation, with Bai He actively provoking, he immediately wanted to get on the stage.
"Gede, you are just an observer today."
Dosen stopped Gede.
He could tell that although Xilai's martial prodigy Bai He had lost an arm, it was due to carelessness.
In other words, if Bai He hadn't been careless just now and hadn't boasted at the beginning, even if Wang Tuo used both secret arts, he might not have been able to injure Bai He.
Moreover, Bai He's injury did not significantly affect his combat power.
In such a situation, Gede did not have a guaranteed victory by stepping onto the stage.
And given Bai He's current mindset, he would certainly want to kill to vent his anger.
Dosen did not want his only direct disciple to risk his life by going onto the stage.
"Yes, Teacher."
Gede heard this and stopped his steps. Seeing Dosen's unquestionable expression, he gave up the idea of challenging.
On the arena, Bai He, seeing that Gede dared not enter the arena, turned his gaze to Qitian, the successor of the Underworld Hall, and Caroline.
"Qitian, do you want to have a fight with that guy?"
Caroline suggested to Qitian when she saw Bai He's gaze sweep over.
"Caroline, I'm here to watch the show, not to challenge." Qitian glared at Caroline irritably.
Ever since Qitian realized that he was just a great Tengu in Caroline's heart and could not win her favor, he had changed his attitude towards Caroline.
Tengu also had dignity!
Caroline sighed with some disappointment and did not reply.
The Underworld Hall's stance was neutral; they did not participate in the wars beyond the domain. As the successor of the Underworld Hall and the granddaughter of the Hall Master, if she were to take action, it would have a negative impact.
Moreover, she was not confident of defeating Bai He, even with one arm missing!
Seeing that both Qitian and Caroline dared not enter the arena, Bai He's expression changed again. Finally, he turned his gaze to Gu Tianlong, who was also a two-star War God.
Hmm?
Gu Tianlong's heart tightened, and then he pretended not to notice Bai He's gaze, directly looking elsewhere.
As a refined egoist, how could he step onto the stage at this time for a match with no benefits?
Moreover, he knew himself well enough to know that he was no match for Bai He. Stepping onto the stage was no different from seeking death!
"Are all you so-called native geniuses a bunch of cowards?!"
Seeing that no one dared to step onto the stage, Bai He stood on the arena, arrogantly shouting and humiliating them.
There was no response.
Gede, Qitian, and Caroline remained silent, while Gu Tianlong lowered his head to adjust his soft armor.
"Truly... damn... cowardly, spineless!"
Ye Kunlun stood aside and cursed at Gu Tianlong's actions without hesitation.
Hearing this, Gu Tianlong's expression changed, but he endured it and did not retaliate. Instead, he looked at Ye Kunlun with the gaze of someone looking at an idiot, as if to say: If you're so capable, why don't you go up?
At the same time, in front of the grand curtain, Mu Kuang turned his gaze to Xilai again:
"Xilai, among the young natives, there are only those four two-star War Gods. Since they all dare not step onto the stage, let your martial prodigy step down and let my martial prodigy have a go to test the mettle of the young generation of one-star War Gods in the native world."
"Alright."
Xilai agreed with a nod.
To her, it didn't matter whether her martial prodigy killed the challengers from the native world or not; what was important was to save face.
"Bai He, you step down."
"Yes, Saintess!"
Upon hearing this, Bai He first bowed to Xilai to receive the order, and then retreated.
At the same time, a young man wearing a black martial arts uniform walked out from behind Mu Kuang, holding a saber in his hand.
He had a strong and sturdy physique, radiating explosive power, a fierce countenance, and a martial cultivation of a one-star War God of the tenth stage.
"Lei Hu, kill all challengers!"
When Mu Kuang saw Lei Hu emerge, he gave instructions.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Lei Hu took the order, then walked forward several meters with a murderous aura, stopped, and scanned Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, Xing Tian, Huangfu Weixia, and others:
"Are there any one-star War God level natives who dare to come and fight me?"
"Why would we not dare? Ye Ye, I'll go and meet you!"
As soon as Lei Hu's words fell, Ye Kunlun roared.
As his voice fell, he didn't wait for Yun Tianjian, the sect master of Kunlun, to stop him. He flashed his figure and rushed onto the arena.
If you're not convinced, fight; life and death are trivial matters.
Known as the "Flat-headed Brother" and "Martial Maniac," he never knew the meaning of the word "coward."
Everything that had happened before made him feel extremely stifled, and he couldn't bear it any longer!
Seeing this, Yun Tianjian had the same feeling as Qi Wufu earlier. He could only swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth and reluctantly acquiesced to Ye Kunlun entering the arena.
"Native, to avoid wasting time, how about we decide the winner with one move?"
Lei Hu sneered when he saw Ye Kunlun step onto the stage and proposed.
"Idiot, a fight isn't about brute force. Who are you talking about deciding with one move?!"
Ye Kunlun cursed without politeness.
He was reckless, but not stupid.
He could see that Lei Hu had abundant true qi, and his physical strength was extremely terrifying.
This was indeed the case. Lei Hu had cultivated with Mu Kuang since he was young, mainly practicing an extremely overbearing cultivation technique. His true qi was overbearing, his physique was terrifying, and his saber skills were fierce. If they were to decide the winner with one move, it would fully display his characteristics and advantages.
"You are seeking death!"
Lei Hu, hearing this, became furious.
Although he didn't know what the word "idiot" meant, he inferred from Ye Kunlun's subsequent words that these two words were insults.
Whoosh!
Roaring out, Lei Hu's mind moved, his true qi circulated throughout his body, engulfing him and evolving into a fierce tiger from the outer domain. Then, with a stomp of his foot, like an enraged fierce tiger, he pounced directly at Ye Kunlun.
"It's not yet known who will win!"
Ye Kunlun shouted coldly, actively meeting the charge, but instead of directly clashing with Lei Hu, he used a grappling tactic to entangle with Lei Hu.
This was a technique he had learned after watching Jiang Wuming's several battles – let the opponent and enemy perform first, find loopholes, and deliver a fatal blow!
Ye Kunlun's tactic was correct.
But he had forgotten one thing: in the face of absolute strength, all tactics were paper tigers!
Clang!
After ten moves, before Ye Kunlun could even use his killing move, he was struck by Lei Hu's saber. The saber in his hand broke, his protective true qi dimmed, and he was sent flying backward.
Whoosh!
Lei Hu, seizing the advantage, flashed his figure, caught up with Ye Kunlun, and swung his saber again.
Ye Kunlun dodged Lei Hu's attack by sidestepping.
However, Lei Hu seemed to have anticipated Ye Kunlun's dodge. As he swung his saber, his right foot whipped out like a whip, kicking towards Ye Kunlun's calf.
Bang!
Crack!
The two sounds rang out almost simultaneously. Ye Kunlun's calf was struck, instantly breaking, and he was sent flying sideways.
"Die!"
Lei Hu sneered and continued to wield his saber, lunging towards Ye Kunlun, intending to kill Ye Kunlun with one saber strike.
"We concede!"
At the critical moment, Yun Tianjian, the sect master of Kunlun, quickly spoke, voluntarily conceding.
Huh?
Lei Hu heard this, his pupils suddenly widened, and then, unlike Bai He before, he did not stop his attack but casually threw the saber in his hand.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the saber turned into a white light and shot rapidly towards Ye Kunlun.
Lei Hu remembered Mu Kuang's orders. Even though Yun Tianjian conceded on behalf of Ye Kunlun, he did not hold back, intending to kill Ye Kunlun in one fell swoop!
"Bastard!"
Yun Tianjian sensed Lei Hu's attack immediately, roared, and at the same time, flicked his finger, sending out a stream of true qi, which evolved into a small sharp sword and shot towards the saber Lei Hu had thrown.
Humph!
At the same time, in front of the grand curtain, the representative of the Mu family in front of Mu Kuang snorted and waved his hand gently, sending out a stream of true qi, which evolved into a barrier.
Boom!
The true qi-evolved sharp sword struck the true qi barrier, unable to advance even half a step, and instantly exploded into nothingness.
At the same time, Ye Kunlun, in mid-air, felt the threat of death. Relying on his powerful combat instinct, he twisted his body like a spiral in the air, trying to avoid the whistling saber.
Pfft!
The next moment.
Blood splattered.
Even though Ye Kunlun's reaction was at its extreme, he could only avoid the vital points. His left shoulder was pierced, and he fell to the ground, stained with blood!
...
