Chapter 179 A Little Longer

However, there was still a bit of time left before the hour was up.

At this moment, Chen Xiao had already brought immense pressure to Xu Weizhou.

He gritted his teeth, trying to calm down and prevent his voice from trembling: "Outsider, what exactly do you want?"

"Heh, I don't want anything."

Chen Xiao chuckled. "You all blame me for releasing the Earth Devil. Now, the Earth Devil has been eliminated by me…"

Everyone fell silent. As expected, this terrifying person was going to settle accounts with them.

This made them tremble involuntarily.

Just when everyone thought Chen Xiao was going to attack them, Chen Xiao said calmly, "My point is, can the Tianjiao Battle preliminaries continue?"

Only then did everyone realize that he was talking about this.

Indeed, the Tianjiao Battle preliminaries were interrupted by the appearance of the Earth Devil, but the Tianjiao Battle would definitely be held on time, so the preliminaries still had to select fifty Tianjiao.

Xu Weizhou also came to his senses, coughing awkwardly twice, "You're right, the preliminaries do need to continue!"

"Now I announce that the preliminaries will continue, entering the free challenge stage! The cultivators who are still on the square are qualified to challenge other cultivators, with life and death at their own risk. The last fifty cultivators standing in the field are qualified to participate in the Tianjiao Battle main competition held in Xianzong City!"

Xu Weizhou announced loudly, and at this time, there were less than a thousand cultivators still standing on the square.

Most of the others had already been frightened by the power of the previous battle and fled far away.

And these thousand people were undoubtedly the Tianjiao among the Tianjiao, the bravest among the brave!

But today, among them, only fifty people could be selected.

No, to be precise, forty-nine people, after all, that outsider had already occupied one spot.

Just as everyone was sharpening their swords and preparing to pick an opponent to challenge,

Chen Xiao suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked at him to see what he was going to do.

It was obvious that although Xu Weizhou was the host of this preliminary competition, the real decision-maker was Chen Xiao!

"The question I asked you just now, you haven't answered me yet."

Chen Xiao stared at Xu Weizhou and suddenly smiled faintly.

Xu Weizhou looked surprised, recalling what Chen Xiao had said.

"Now, do you still think that the people of your Earth Sect deserve more 'equal' treatment?"

This was what Chen Xiao had said at the time.

After Xu Weizhou frowned and pondered for a while, his whole body suddenly shook!

He understood Chen Xiao's intention!

The Earth Sect did not deserve more 'equal' treatment.

So, when Li Shouzhen fell into the vortex, he shouldn't have lived!

Xu Weizhou completely understood Chen Xiao's intention, he really disdained to kill Li Shouzhen, but Li Shouzhen still had to die!

Then who would do it was obvious.

"What's wrong, Elder Xu still doesn't understand what I mean? Do I have to say it out loud for you to understand?"

Chen Xiao increased his tone and continued to put pressure on Xu Weizhou.

"This poor Taoist understands…"

Xu Weizhou sighed silently, raised his hand and slapped Li Shouzhen.

Li Shouzhen was still rejoicing that Chen Xiao hadn't killed him, and he, who had been frightened out of his wits, didn't have time to react to the sudden slap.

*Pu—*

Li Shouzhen's body turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Xu Weizhou was, after all, a former Hedao realm expert. Although his Dao intent had dissipated now, it was more than enough to kill a Li Shouzhen.

"Senior Brother Saint…"

All of this happened in an instant. By the time Li Miaozhen reacted, Li Shouzhen had already scattered into the air.

"Elder Xu!"

Li Miaozhen glared at Xu Weizhou reproachfully. Although Senior Brother Saint was just a fool in her heart, the two had grown up together since childhood, and their relationship was like siblings.

"Li Shouzhen brought it upon himself. I shouldn't have saved him just now."

After Xu Weizhou explained lightly, he ignored Li Miaozhen, raised his hand, and announced, "Now, the Tianjiao Battle preliminaries will continue!"

This time, Chen Xiao did not stop him, and the Tianjiao Battle was held normally.

The following Tianjiao Battle preliminaries finally returned to normal.

About half an hour later, the final fifty winners had emerged.

And throughout the whole process, no one dared to challenge Chen Xiao.

Li Miaozhen glared at him hatefully several times, but finally chose reason.

Chen Xiao walked up to her and deliberately provoked, "Didn't you say you were going to challenge me during the free challenge? What's wrong, are you going to break your promise?"

Even so, Li Miaozhen did not lose her composure, just glared at Chen Xiao very hard, and then walked aside silently to challenge others to vent her anger.

When the Tianjiao Battle preliminaries ended, the purple light罩 (zhào, cover) shrouded in Houtu City also shattered with a loud noise.

Streams of light, like shooting stars from beyond the sky, flew into the city and landed on the square!

"It's the elders, it's the Ziwei Dao Shou, great, we're saved this time, finally saved!"

Although he had long expected that the Earth Sect would definitely discover the movement here as soon as possible and rush to support them, when the city-protecting formation was broken, Xu Weizhou was still so excited that he burst into tears.

The past hour was simply the longest hour he had ever experienced.

Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, because they knew that with the arrival of these great figures from the Earth Sect, they would be completely saved.

"Are they the elders of the Earth Sect? I heard that the Dao Shou of the Earth Sect are all Hedao realm experts!"

"Thirteen Hedao realm experts, I've finally opened my eyes today. Hey? Who is that person, so beautiful!"

"Are you crazy? That's the Ziwei Dao Shou of the Earth Sect, dare to point your finger at the Ziwei Dao Shou, kid, you're probably courting death!"

Everyone was talking at once, and a woman with outstanding beauty captured the most attention.

The woman was wearing a霓裳羽袍 (ní cháng yǔ páo, rainbow feather robe). Although she was dressed as a Taoist nun, she exuded a dazzling brilliance, making people involuntarily associate her with lewdness.

No one would have thought that the dignified Dao Shou of the Earth Sect would actually be a woman, and a woman with such unique 'charm'.

She was surrounded by thirteen elders like stars surrounding the moon, her eyes were aloof and arrogant, but between her gestures, she revealed all kinds of amorous feelings, making people daydream and uncontrollably want to亵玩 (xiè wán, defile) her!

Even Chen Xiao's eyes went straight, and after a burst of heat, his mouth was dry.

This one is actually the Dao Shou of the Earth Sect?

If he hadn't heard the discussions of others, Chen Xiao would have thought this was a vixen!
