Chapter 12568
It was clearly to help Lin Yi out of a predicament.
"Is this what your father wanted?"
The Killing Saint's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You're a traitor, you can't even understand the simplest thing like choosing sides, and you call yourself a smart person?"
Now, the five sage families have subtly split into two factions.
On one side are the Emperor Saint, the Killing Saint, and the Eating Saint; on the other side are the Confucius Saint and the Scheming Saint.
Whether they were Confucius or strategists, the latter were always low-key and rarely acted aggressively. The sense of oppression they brought to the people of Tianjun was far less intense than that of the emperors.
But to truly discerning people, it is precisely because these two never act rashly that they cannot be ignored.
After all, once they make a decision, it means they must have already calculated the situation clearly.
Compared to their combined strength, what's even more terrifying about these two is their foresight in making bets.
The Saint of Slaughter can make mistakes, the Saint of Food can make mistakes, and even the Saint of Emperors can make mistakes.
But throughout the history of Tianjun, Confucius and strategists have never made a mistake.
Although neither of them has made a clear public statement, they have implicitly sided with the end of the association.
Even if it's not a complete betrayal, it's at least biased.
As one of the Five Saints, this bias itself is already an extremely unusual signal.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
By attacking the Killing Saint himself at this moment, Zhang Baiyu had clearly made this signal public.
"Could it be that the five sage families are truly about to break ties?"
Everyone looked at each other.
At this moment, although Zhang Baiyu did not use the "Harmony with the World" technique, it was still extremely rare for him to unleash a whole set of aggressive attacks.
For a moment, the Killing Saint was so overwhelmed that he couldn't even lift his head.
"Holy crap! Is Zhang Baiyu that strong?"
"This killing of the Saint doesn't seem like acting; he seems genuinely suppressed?"
There was an uproar from all sides.
As for the Killing Saint himself, his face was completely dark.
If it were truly absolute strength, Zhang Baiyu would naturally be unable to suppress him. After all, he was a dignified four-zhang Dharma Aspect expert and an absolute backbone of the Five Saints of the aristocratic families.
The problem is that the current track rules are naturally more favorable to a player like Zhang Baiyu who has calculated everything.
The Killing Saint could only unleash 20% of his full strength, while Zhang Baiyu could unleash 120% or even 150% of his power.
Given this ebb and flow, the current situation is not surprising.
As for the other experts in the arena, they were naturally happy to see this happen.
With the old monster out of the game, the biggest threat left is Killing Saint.
If it weren't for the immense deterrent power of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families, which prevented anyone from openly stepping forward to call for a joint attack to kill the Saints, they would have already swarmed in.
Now that Zhang Baiyu is able to suppress the Killing Saint, every single one of them is more than happy to have him.
Even Shen Xiuluo, the son of the Killing Saint, is probably secretly plotting against him.
The Slayer Saint had more than just his one son.
If the Saint Killer obtains the divine equipment reward today, it may not necessarily fall into his hands in the future.
Only if he seizes it himself can everything be legitimate.
Not only that, but it also provides an opportunity to prove one's strength, regain lost face, and pave the way for succeeding the Killing Saint in the future.
However, on the surface, Shen Xiuluo still appeared to be furious and charged towards Zhang Baiyu without regard for anything else.
"roll!"
The Killing Saint frowned and coldly shouted, "I'm not so useless that I need you to bail me out. Get the hell out of my way and don't get in my way!"
Shen Xiuluo could only retreat dejectedly, but secretly he couldn't be happier.
He even hoped that the Killing Saint would suffer a setback under Zhang Baiyu's hands, preferably being eliminated directly. That way, he might be so discouraged that he would pass the position to Zhang Baiyu ahead of time.
Such rebellious thoughts could only be contemplated in private; if even the slightest hint of them were revealed on the surface, it would immediately lead to utter ruin.
The surrounding area was invisibly cleared away, and Killing Saint and Zhang Baiyu attacked with all their might.
The audience watching from the sidelines was immediately treated to a visual feast.
From the start until now, despite the many unexpected events and twists and turns in the situation, this is undoubtedly the most technically demanding and highest-level duel among all the top players.
none of them.
Even without using the "Shading with the World" technique, Zhang Baiyu's current strength still left everyone speechless.
He is truly no less than the Killer Saint!
A great reputation is never undeserved. As someone widely recognized as being comparable to Di Qingfan, Zhang Baiyu's performance at this moment is truly impeccable.
"What would it be like if he inherited the mantle of the strategist?"
Someone couldn't help but ask a thought-provoking question.
People couldn't help but speculate.
Even among the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families, there are differences in rank. Although the Sage of Strategy is known for his flawless planning and is generally considered extremely formidable, in terms of personal strength, he is generally considered to be below the Five Sages.
However, Zhang Baiyu, with his five-zhang Dharma form strength, was able to hold his own against the Killing Saint.
The thought of climbing even higher in the future is terrifying.
Someone replied quietly, "Perhaps that time will be the era of strategists."
Everyone instinctively wanted to refute, but for a moment they couldn't find a way to do so.
The reason why Emperor Saint is the head of the Five Saints is because Emperor Saint is the strongest in the current era. However, if the strongest person becomes Scheming Saint, the position of the head of the Five Saints will naturally have to be changed.
The entire era of Tianjun will naturally change.
Zhang Baiyu shone brightly, making Lin Yi's side completely invisible, and no one paid any attention to him anymore.
Meanwhile, other key figures, such as Di Qingfan, Mei Zhixue, and Shen Xiuluo, also began to exert their strength.
They each have their own stance and their own thoughts, but since they are standing on the stage, at least one thing is certain.
Everyone wants to get this track reward!
After all, even for someone like Di Qingfan, divine equipment is an extremely rare commodity. Normally, getting one would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible.
Now that the time has come, they will naturally stop hiding it.
However, this caused the intensity of the game to surge instantly.
The rate of obsolescence immediately skyrocketed.
"Holy crap? So they've been putting on an act all along?"
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
Until just now, these people gave them the impression that while they were strong, the others weren't without a chance either.
It turns out that this was all just an illusion.
In the face of Di Qingfan and his group of truly top-tier experts, even with the constraints of the track rules, the rest of the group would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
The difference between them is so vast that there is almost no comparability.
The reason they were able to stand on the same field was entirely due to the benefit of the racetrack.
Otherwise, these people wouldn't even be qualified to stand with them.
Shen Xiuluo chuckled coldly: "If I don't exert myself, do you really think I'm on the same level as you? A bunch of delusional idiots!"
The people inside dared not speak out against their anger.
The words may be a bit rough, but the truth is just that—truly the truth, and no one can refute it.
