Chapter 1277 No One Dares to Challenge
Xiang Guanhong's body was like a piece of glass covered with cracks, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
The blood was no longer flowing, but gushing out from every crack in his body, pooling at his feet into a glaring pool of blood.
He won!
In a tragic manner that was almost mutually assured destruction, a once arrogant royal prodigy was dragged down from his lofty position and plunged into the mire.
But he himself paid an unimaginable price.
That soaring, bloodthirsty aura had long since dissipated; now, only an overwhelming deathly aura emanated from his body.
His life force is slipping away at a visible rate.
"He's... crippled..."
Someone, with a dry throat, managed to utter three words.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.
Yes, he won, but he's also finished!
His meridians were severed, his internal organs were shattered, and his very soul was riddled with holes by the backlash.
This is crueler than death.
On the high platform, Wujiang's indifferent face was as gloomy as ten thousand years of black ice.
The dignity of the royal family was shattered before his eyes by a frontier warrior in the most barbaric and direct way!
Wu Yuan and the others also looked extremely grim, their gazes toward the arena filled with undisguised killing intent.
On the other side, Xie Purou's small mouth was slightly open, and the excitement and anticipation on her face had long since disappeared, replaced by a complex and incomprehensible shock!
In You Ruo's icy blue eyes, the blood-red figure that was about to collapse was reflected, and the turmoil within them could not be calmed for a long time!
The battle between these two people clearly shocked everyone!
In order to achieve victory and to protect their pride, they each pushed their own strength to the maximum!
Regardless of who wins or loses, they both deserve everyone's respect!
As for Xiang Guanhong, the winner, he was undoubtedly even more stunning!
On the high platform, the prince who had been watching the battle all along saw Xiang Guanhong finally defeat Wuchen, and his eyes also showed a change.
"As expected of a descendant of General Xiang, his strength is indeed remarkable! Wuchen's defeat was not unjust!"
The prince muttered to himself, although the royal bloodline had been lost, he still spared no praise or admiration for Xiang Guanhong.
Soon, with a flick of his hand, two luminous white pills, as white as jade, appeared in his palm.
They transformed into two streaks of light, tearing through the void. One flew towards Wuchen, who had already fainted below the arena, while the other flew towards Xiang Guanhong, who was teetering on the verge of collapse.
The pill hovered in front of the two, emitting a rich life force, and its refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.
Just by smelling the fragrance, some of the prodigies who had suffered minor injuries in the previous battles felt their injuries had healed somewhat.
"This is the 'Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill,' which can revive the dead and restore flesh to bones."
The prince's booming voice echoed across the square, devoid of any emotion.
"Swallow it, and your injuries will heal within fifteen minutes, restoring you to your peak condition."
The elixir was swallowed directly into the mouth of the unconscious Wuchen, transforming into a powerful torrent of life that flowed through his body.
The deathly aura emanating from him was quickly dispelled, and his pale face regained its rosy hue at a visible speed.
Xiang Guanhong made a hoarse sound from his throat, like an old bellows being pulled.
He opened his mouth, which was full of blood foam and fragments of internal organs.
He swallowed the pill.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and an unimaginable surge of life essence, like a celestial river flowing backward, instantly washed over his body, which was on the verge of collapse.
Click! Click!
The grotesque, blood-red cracks on his body made a crisp sound.
That's not a breakdown, it's healing!
Shattered bones are being rebuilt, damaged organs are being regenerated, and dried-up meridians are being nourished and reconnected by the torrent of life!
The blood gushing from his body stopped instantly.
That dense aura of death was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, quickly purified and dissipated.
A brand new life force, even more powerful and refined than before, rose from his body.
In a short while, all the terrible wounds on his body disappeared.
His skin regained its bronze color, his muscles were bulging, and he was full of explosive power.
He looked down at his perfectly intact hands and gently clenched them.
Crackling!
He squeezed the air and it exploded, making a popping sound like popping beans.
Below the arena, Wuchen, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
He leaped to his feet, feeling the surging, even more refined imperial divine power within him than before the battle, yet his face showed no joy.
He raised his head, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring intently at Xiang Guanhong on the arena.
His eyes were filled with endless coldness and humiliation.
So what if you're cured?
A defeat is a defeat!
This kind of humiliation is worse than death!
Xiang Guanhong also felt his gaze.
He turned around and looked down at Wuchen.
Those eyes, now back to their black color, were sharp as an eagle's, calm yet carrying an indifference that seemed to detach itself from the defeated.
"Humph!"
Wuchen let out a cold snort, turned around and left Baiyu Square.
For him, he had already lost. Since he was already a defeated opponent, why should he stay here?
Am I supposed to stay here and become a laughingstock?
On the arena that originally belonged to Wuchen, Xiang Guanhong now stood straight, like a long spear that could kill thousands of enemies!
His cold gaze swept over the contestants below who had not yet engaged in their duels. The contestants instinctively lowered their heads, avoiding his gaze and not daring to meet his eyes.
In terms of sheer presence, everyone was already at a disadvantage compared to him!
How is this played?
In addition, no one dared to challenge You Ruo, Xie Purou, Wu Jiang, Wu Shang, Wu Wang, and Wu Yuan on their six arenas.
Besides Xiang Guanhong's side, which just changed champions, there are three remaining arenas.
The champions of these three arenas are also very powerful top talents. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely be powerful figures who are high and mighty!
But now, the expressions in the eyes of the three of them were quite complicated.
There was helplessness, humiliation, and bitterness!
Because they knew that on the ten arenas, the three of them would undoubtedly be seen as easy targets by the others.
The remaining seven have already demonstrated a terrifying level of dominance, telling everyone that anyone who dares to step onto the stage to challenge them will not fare well!
The remaining three, while also very strong, were slightly weaker compared to the other seven.
On one of the arenas, there was a young man in white holding a sword.
He also took the healing pills given to him by the prince, restoring his body and immortal power to their peak, and his eyes became as sharp as the sword in his hand.
