Chapter 12569
In less than half an incense stick's time, the number of people in the room had drastically decreased to less than thirty, and only then did the game enter its true endgame.
Those who remain in the arena at this moment are all masters among masters.
Any one of them, taken out individually, even if not capable of directly confronting Di Qingfan and his group, is by no means some easily defeated nobody.
With the support of the track rules, even someone as strong as Di Qingfan would have to put in a lot of effort to take them down.
Several of them performed exceptionally well, even reaching a stalemate with these top players at one point.
Based solely on this amazing performance, even if they didn't win the race prize today, they would still be highly sought after and become coveted by various powerful families.
This is the hidden benefit of the arrival of the racetrack.
The real rewards that are out in the open are not something these people can get their hands on.
For them, being able to access these hidden benefits is already their goal.
That being said, it is precisely because of the outstanding performances of these people that Lin Yi, the Emperor of Termination, appears so insignificant.
He was slacking off the whole time.
Everyone else has five or six track markers above their heads, but he always has only one.
Without this mark, not only would the people inside the arena not notice his presence, but even the spectators outside the arena would probably not have noticed him.
"Does he think he can get away with this until the end?"
Someone couldn't help but say strangely, "Now that the Terminator has been eliminated, our Terminator Emperor is really quite sensible, not daring to make a single move."
The crowd around him said sarcastically, "He's just a six-zhang-tall Dharma form. He could probably boss people around in other places, but with so many top experts here, does he even have a chance to shine?"
"And all those people were raving about how amazing he was before, tsk tsk, this is all he's got?"
"Whether someone is good or not is proven through hard work, not through boasting. Before the track was introduced, he could brag all he wanted and nobody cared. Now, his true colors have been revealed."
Lin Yi listened but ignored it.
The more people belittled him, the less they took him seriously, making it easier for him to slack off.
Until the entire audience erupted in another uproar.
Zhang Baiyu is eliminated.
This result was not unexpected for most people.
No matter how strong Zhang Baiyu is, or how amazing his performance is, he is still ultimately a five-zhang Dharma Aspect master, after all, his upper limit is limited.
Even if the person who killed the saint was not the best, he was still a master of the four-zhang Dharma Aspect. It was not something he could just do at a higher level.
The fact that they were able to maintain a balance on the field and hold out for so long is itself a small miracle.
Moreover, although Killing Saint successfully eliminated Zhang Baiyu, he himself was by no means at ease.
At this moment, he still had three layers of protection on his body.
In other words, Zhang Baiyu single-handedly replaced seven layers of his protection!
As one of the Five Sages of a prestigious family, to be forced to this point by a young junior is a disgrace no matter how you look at it.
In contrast, Zhang Baiyu truly deserves the title of "honorable despite defeat"!
"I think this attempt to kill the Saint is a bit risky."
Someone offstage voiced what everyone was thinking.
With the elimination of the only truly top-tier fighter, the final boss, everyone thought the outcome was already decided. No matter how things unfolded, the Killing Saint would inevitably emerge victorious.
Even for figures like Di Qingfan and Mei Zhixue, whose absolute level of advantage is undeniable, the possibility of them truly shaking the Killing Saint is still extremely slim.
But now, the situation is completely different.
Zhang Baiyu alone can replace the seven layers of protection of the Killing Saint. As for the rest, Di Qingfan and the others, they only need to replace three more layers of his protection.
This difficulty has been greatly reduced!
Moreover, Di Qingfan and the others are on par with Zhang Baiyu, especially Di Qingfan, who used to be slightly more prominent than Zhang Baiyu.
With Zhang Baiyu being so powerful, surely all of them can't be mediocre?
Anyone could take this man's head!
Suddenly, suspense arose one after another.
opportunity!
Without warning, a man in white robes approached the Slaughter Saint from behind and launched an attack, intending to take him away in one fell swoop.
This choice is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
But if successful, the rewards will be enormous!
Just like before, Zuo Dengyun had his eye on the final monster. If he could eliminate the Killing Saint, regardless of whether he could get the final track reward today, he would definitely be remembered in history.
Personally eliminating the Killer Saint—that alone is enough to brag about for a lifetime!
Any expert with even a little ambition could resist such temptation.
The next second, the man was pinned to the ground by the Killing Saint, and the poisoned blade flashed, instantly clearing all his defenses.
There was silence.
The Killing Saint's face darkened: "It seems I really went too far with just any Tom, Dick, or Harry who dares to jump out like this."
If he can't regain his honor and restore his prestige today, he, as one of the Five Saints, will probably become the biggest loser in the whole event!
Others who lost simply lost; they just went home empty-handed.
It doesn't have much of a substantial impact in itself.
But he is different.
After being beaten so badly by Zhang Baiyu, his previously high and mighty image plummeted. If he cannot stop the damage in time, the consequences will be unimaginable not only for him personally, but also for the entire Killing Saint lineage.
The guy who just jumped out is proof of that.
Once the deterrent fails, there will only be more and more of these treacherous individuals!
In contrast, although the final boss was eliminated much earlier, he was still ganged up on by the entire team, so at least in terms of the viewing experience, it was still acceptable to everyone.
For Killer Saint, today's competition is no longer just about track rewards; it has become a battle to defend his prestige.
Both morally and logically, he cannot back down even half a step!
The killing of the saint immediately became even more ruthless.
In no more than ten breaths, he personally sent away ten people.
On average, that's one per breath!
Everyone in the audience felt their scalp tingle.
Those who have managed to stay on the field until now are all top-tier experts; theoretically, they should all be able to exchange a few blows with the Killing Saint.
As a result, he was killed and his grass was cut down.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings actually think they're something special."
The taunt of the Killing Saint was clearly heard by everyone present, causing a sudden, inexplicable stinging pain in their cheeks.
But no one refuted it.
The Killing Saint stood in the center, scanning the entire scene.
No one dared to meet his gaze, and the racetrack mark above his head had soared to twenty-five after this round of mowing.
No more, no less, exactly half of the total.
Everyone gasped in unison.
At this moment, the three remaining layers of protection on the Killing Saint's body became exceptionally indestructible in their eyes!
It even subtly instilled a sense of despair!
Only now did they finally realize that Zhang Baiyu single-handedly replaced seven layers of their defenses not because the Killing Saint was too weak and lost the prestige of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan, but simply because Zhang Baiyu was too strong!
