Chapter 1279 Reassigning Opponents
She was surrounded by an emerald green halo, like a holy goddess.
The flames couldn't get close, neutralized by the life force. Her slender hands moved gently, and emerald green vines grew from the arena floor, coiling towards the flame cultivator like serpents.
"A mere trick!" the Flame Cultivator sneered.
He opened his mouth and spat out a blazing pillar of fire, instantly burning the entangling vines to ashes.
Mu Wanling wasn't angry; her eyes were icy. She knew this was just the beginning.
She clasped her hands together and softly chanted an ancient incantation. Behind her, the phantom of a towering ancient tree slowly emerged. The ancient tree was lush and verdant, exuding a powerful life force.
"Azure Wood Divine Realm!" Mu Wanling called out softly.
In an instant, the entire arena was enveloped in emerald green light. Countless roots burst forth from the ground, growing wildly.
They coiled around the fire cultivator, absorbing the fire power within him.
The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and the flames around the fire cultivator dimmed.
The Flame Cultivator's expression changed drastically as he felt his immortal power rapidly draining away.
This divine realm is devouring his power!
He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of the divine realm!
However, countless vines surged in from all directions, binding him tightly. The fire power within him, like a drained spring, rapidly dried up!
Mu Wanling's eyes were cold as she walked step by step toward the bound flame cultivator. A drop of emerald green dew condensed at her fingertips.
“Life is taken away.” Her voice was soft, yet carried a ruthless declaration.
The dewdrop flew towards the fire cultivator. The fire cultivator felt an extreme sense of weakness instantly wash over his entire body.
The life force within him was being frantically drained away by that drop of dew. His face aged rapidly, his hair turned gray, and his skin became dry!
He opened his mouth to howl, but found that he could no longer make a sound. In just a few breaths, he completely turned into a dried-up corpse, and then turned to ashes.
Mu Wanling withdrew her hand, and the dewdrop vanished without a trace. The emerald green aura surrounding her slowly receded.
She remained the same elegant and refined saintess, but deep within her eyes lay a chilling coldness!
She became the third new champion.
Thus, the three intense arena battles ended with the victories of Xiao Jianchen, Shi Kai, and Mu Wanling.
Three new champions stood proudly on their respective arenas.
The atmosphere in Baiyu Square became heavy once again.
The tournament is now coming to an end.
The ten strongest fighters currently standing on the stage are undoubtedly the strongest group of ten. Defeating any one of them would be extremely difficult, if not impossible!
Those who had not yet taken on the challenge felt their mouths dry. Their gazes swept over the ten towering white jade arenas, and looking at the ten spirited figures on them, they felt nothing but helplessness.
"How are we supposed to play like this?"
"Who among these ten people can I possibly defeat? It's just too difficult!"
"I feel like we're doomed. None of them are easy to mess with!"
"Never mind, I'm going to lose anyway, so I'll choose someone more respectable. I'll choose You Ruo; she doesn't seem like she'd go too far!"
"I choose her too!"
"You all line up, I'll choose her too!"
After weighing the pros and cons, the vast majority of those who had not yet taken on the challenge chose You Ruo as their opponent.
There's no other reason than that she seems gentle and wouldn't go all out in a fight.
As for Xie Purou, Xiang Guanhong, Mu Wanling, and the others, since they all had a record of killing their opponents, everyone tacitly avoided them to avoid not only losing but also dying at their hands.
That would be a huge loss!
You Ruo was also quite helpless about this result; she hadn't expected to have so many challengers.
Fortunately, while these challengers were all very strong, they weren't strong enough to force her to go all out.
After a long elimination round, the ten remaining players are the current ten!
You Ruo, Xie Purou, Wu Yuan, Wu Jiang, Wu Shang, Wu Wang, Xiang Guanhong, Shi Kai, Xiao Jianchen, Mu Wanling!
Ten figures, like ten majestic mountains, stood on their respective white jade arenas.
Their eyes were sharp, and their aura was powerful.
You Ruo's icy blue eyes were as deep as the sea, and Xie Purou's smile carried a hint of amusement.
The four individuals, Wuyuan, Wujiang, Wushang, and Wuwang, are like four sharp swords drawn from their sheaths, their brilliance fully revealed.
Xiang Guanhong's aura of menace was faintly visible.
Xiao Jianchen's sword intent soared straight into the sky.
Shi Kai is as steady as a rock, while Mu Wanling exudes vibrant life.
They are the ultimate victors of this grand event, the focus of everyone's attention!
The noise in Baiyu Square had long since disappeared, and everyone's attention was focused on the high platform.
The prince would decide the ultimate fate of these prodigies. An intense, oppressive tension filled the air.
The prince slowly rose, his gaze piercing through the air as he swept over the ten people on the arena.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, seemingly able to see through people's hearts. His clear, cold voice, like a resounding bell, echoed once more across the square!
"Congratulations, you have become the final ten." The prince's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Being able to stand here already proves your strength and talent!"
His gaze lingered on Xiang Guanhong for a moment, then swept over Xiao Jianchen, Shi Kai, and Mu Wanling.
"However, for your lives, this is only the beginning." The prince's tone turned serious as he changed the subject.
"Without further ado, let's continue with the random draw to select our opponents!"
As he spoke, the crystal ball reappeared, but this time, only ten names remained inside.
The names of these ten people rolled back and forth inside the crystal ball like golden runes, as if being swept up by a tornado.
Countless eyes were fixed on the crystal ball, filled with curiosity about the upcoming match.
None of the top ten contestants are weak, and no matter who faces whom, it will be a spectacular showdown!
Soon, the ten golden names finally changed, with the first pair of names rushing out of the crystal ball.
You Ruo, Xiao Jianchen!
Upon seeing the first pair of names appear, everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise, their gazes shifting back and forth between You Ruo and Xiao Jianchen.
When You Ruo learned that her opponent was Xiao Jianchen, she didn't feel much emotional fluctuation, because as long as it wasn't Xie Purou, it was fine with her.
She hopes that the two sisters can overcome all obstacles and meet again in the final championship.
Xiao Jianchen turned his head to look at You Ruo, and the long sword in his hand trembled automatically, emitting a buzzing sound, as if it was excited.
As the first pair of names appeared, the second pair followed closely behind.
Thank you, Pu Rou, for your kindness!
This combination is also something to look forward to.
One is of royal blood, the other has a powerful and domineering Nine Tribulations Immortal Body. Who is stronger and who is weaker?
Next, the other competitors were also identified.
After a series of decisive battles, the prince gifted ten of them pills for recovery, allowing them to return to their peak condition in the shortest possible time.
Only in this way can a fair and exciting battle begin!
