Tianji Holy Land.
"Hidden Dragon Ranking Selection Tournament" Finals.
First Match.
"Lucky Squad" vs "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes"!
Seeing this "drawing result," even a fool, even if they thought about it with their toes, would understand the "backroom deal" hidden within!
"Heavenly Dragon Holy Land" is too shameless!
To be so blatant with a "backroom deal," it's truly, truly goddamn...
However, no one protested.
On the contrary, everyone looked extremely expectant.
With "Heavenly Dragon Holy Land" being so arrogant, their young prodigies, the "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes," were still crushed by "Lucky Squad"!
If "Lucky Squad" could crush the "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes" once, they could crush them twice!
Go!
"Lucky Squad," go!
Almost all the surrounding cultivators were cheering for "Lucky Squad."
"Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes," sorry, you will only be met with boos and glares.
The leader, Long Feng, trembled with rage.
"These scoundrels, how dare they be so arrogant..."
"Big brother, there's no need to be angry!"
The second brother, Long Yu, originally handsome, elegant, and known as the "Jade Prince," now wore a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with sinister coldness.
"These fair-weather friends are not worth worrying about. As long as we defeat Lucky Squad, they will run back to flatter us like before!"
Long Feng nodded.
"You're right. It's all Lucky Squad's fault. As long as we defeat them, everything will be accomplished!"
Speaking of this, Long Feng seemed to suddenly remember something. A sinister smile curved on his lips as he asked the third brother, Long Zhu.
"Third brother, how is your refinement of that Buddhist artifact given to you by Elder Black Dragon?"
Long Zhu smiled confidently and said.
"Big brother, don't worry. I've finished refining it. As soon as that monkey appears, I can cripple it immediately!"
"Good, well done!"
The three brothers burst into laughter simultaneously, as if they had already achieved ultimate victory!
At this moment, the officiating referee from "Tianji Holy Land" stepped forward and loudly announced the start of the match.
As soon as his voice fell, an unexpected event occurred!
The monkey's figure suddenly surged forward. It had, at some unknown time, leaped behind the "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes," repeating its old trick, launching a sneak attack again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The "Formless Cudgel" unleashed layers of cudgel shadows, carrying world-destroying might, and fiercely struck towards the leader, Long Feng.
Long Feng, who had been with his back to the monkey, now seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He dodged with a flash, easily evading the monkey's "sneak attack."
Almost simultaneously, the third brother, Long Zhu, who had been poised and ready, charged forward.
Long Zhu's face was filled with excitement. He roared.
"Monkey, behold my artifact!"
Swish!
Long Zhu formed seals with his hands and unleashed a ray of golden light.
The golden light shone, blindingly bright, its contained power unknown.
The monkey instinctively felt a threat. It roared, unleashing its full power!
"Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth" divine ability!
Boom!
Endless spiritual light exploded, and a powerful aura surged to the heavens.
The monkey's gaunt, small body suddenly expanded, transforming in an instant into a ferocious giant ape ten meters tall!
Roar!
The giant ape swung its fists, pounded its chest, emitting sounds of blood qi reverberating, unyielding!
At this moment, the ray of golden light unleashed by Long Zhu flew precisely above the giant ape's head.
The golden light descended sharply, revealing the artifact's true form: a golden fillet.
The fillet was adorned with rings of Buddhist "卍" symbols, vast and powerful, exuding an extraordinary aura.
The golden fillet spun, and in a flash, it was placed on the giant ape's head.
"Om!"
Long Zhu formed seals with his hands and chanted a Buddhist mantra.
The golden fillet erupted with ten thousand rays of Buddhist light, its might overwhelming.
Bang!
A loud explosion!
The monkey's "Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth" divine ability was crushed by the Buddhist light of the "Golden Fillet."
The ten-meter-tall giant ape vanished.
The monkey reverted to its gaunt, small form and fell from the air, screaming.
"Xiao Ling!"
Yun Zhaozhao, anxious and worried, rushed forward and caught the little spirit monkey king.
At this moment, the little spirit monkey king was in a very bad state.
The golden fillet was tightly clasped on its head. As the "Om" mantra was continuously chanted, streams of Buddhist light enveloped it, restraining the monkey's body. The monkey's face showed signs of painful struggle, but it could not break free from the restraint!
Yun Zhaozhao, both angry and anxious, reached out to pull off the golden fillet.
The golden fillet seemed to have rooted itself into flesh, firmly attached to the monkey's head, and could not be removed.
Every time Yun Zhaozhao channeled her true essence to forcibly pull it off, the monkey winced in pain, as if its soul were being torn apart.
Yun Zhaozhao's heart ached, and she dared not try again so easily.
Seeing this, the "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes" burst into laughter, utterly arrogant and triumphant!
Long Zhu: "It's useless, it's useless, this Golden Fillet cannot be removed!"
Long Yu: "Your reliance is this monkey. Now that it's crippled, what other abilities do you have? Hmph, surrender obediently, and I can leave you with intact corpses!"
Long Feng: "While they are wounded, strike them down, kill them!"
...
The "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes" were truly insane!
Their words and intentions were all aimed at annihilating the "Lucky Squad."
The officiating deacon of "Tianji Holy Land" frowned.
This was a "match venue," not a "life-and-death struggle." The "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes" openly declaring their intent to kill was highly inappropriate!
However, in the end, the referee deacon did not intervene.
"Tianlong Holy Land" was known for its overbearing and extreme methods. They had suffered setbacks at the hands of "Lucky Squad" multiple times, and these guys were already driven mad. They would take brutal revenge on "Lucky Squad."
The referee was merely a minor deacon of "Tianji Holy Land." Although he found it displeasing, he was powerless to stop it.
"Lucky Squad," good luck!
The referee deacon silently wished them well.
At this moment, the "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes" had launched their fiercest assault!
The leader, Long Feng, took the brunt of it, unleashing the "Dragon Subduing Divine Ability," domineering and exceptionally fierce.
Boom boom boom!
Dragon-shaped true essence surged forth, carrying infinite killing intent, bombarding them.
At this moment, everyone held their breath for "Lucky Squad."
In such a perilous situation, "Lucky Squad" was most likely doomed.
Everyone's impression of "Lucky Squad" was: good luck!
They had advanced through the ranks, mostly winning by "heaven-defying luck" without a fight.
As for their strength? Well, the monkey's strength was impressive!
Unfortunately, the monkey was now suppressed, leaving only Yun Tianzhong and Yun Tiantong...
No one held any hope for these two young cultivators who came from the desolate "East Desolation Mountains."
How could they possibly defeat the "Heavenly Dragon Three Heroes"?
Alas, ultimately, one cannot twist a thigh against an arm. These common cultivators had no right to challenge a holy land!
Just as everyone was feeling melancholic and dejected, a sword light ascended...
