#1960 - Prohibited Devices
“The Heavenly Gift Battle officially begins.
Now, the two forces in the first round will send their participants to the stage.
According to the rules, each person can only fight up to three times per round.”
The voice of the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao resonated in the arena.
The people from the Raging Blade Sect wore unsightly expressions, a hint of resentment flashing in their eyes from time to time.
The people from other forces revealed meaningful smiles.
Since they didn't have to face Apricot Flower Village in the first round, they wouldn't have to directly confront that youth from beyond the realm.
This meant that they could maximize their points in the first round.
And the Raging Blade Sect would inevitably go all out to kill Hua Qi in the first round.
Because they were destined to have no chance of winning the championship, they would firmly grasp the opportunity to kill Hua Qi in their hands.
That way, Hua Qi of Apricot Flower Village would be killed in the first round.
And Jun Wuxie, the youth from beyond the realm participating for Apricot Flower Village, only had three chances to fight in each round.
That is to say, no matter how powerful he was, he could only get three points per round.
After a few rounds like this, these forces of theirs would have a chance to widen the gap with Apricot Flower Village in terms of total points.
When the time came, once they won the championship, they would have the opportunity to face the ultimate challenge, and they would have the possibility of obtaining that middle-grade special divine fruit of the Third Rank and the key to the unknown treasure!
Thinking of this, the people from Tyrant Sword Manor, the Zou family, and the Fu family couldn't help but feel excited.
Looking at all the forces participating in the Heavenly Gift Battle, only they had a chance to win the championship.
Originally, the Seven Fort Alliance and the Raging Blade Sect were powerful competitors.
The Seven Fort Alliance was deprived of the qualification to participate, and the Raging Blade Sect had bad luck, suffering heavy losses in the first round and not getting any points, making it impossible for them to pose a threat to their championship.
“I'll go for the first match of the first round!”
As soon as the voice of the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao fell, someone from the five participants of the Raging Blade Sect immediately stepped forward.
The other four people originally wanted to be the first to go on stage as well.
But they were secretly stopped by the Sect Master.
Although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they dared not speak out.
In the first match of the first round, Apricot Flower Village would most likely let Hua Qi go on stage.
Although Hua Qi was a pure-blooded descendant of the Emperor, his realm was low, and they all had forbidden artifacts on them, so killing him was just a matter of snapping their fingers.
In this way, it could almost be said that in the first match of the first round, they could not only kill Hua Qi, but also retreat unscathed.
In the following matches, even with forbidden artifacts in hand, facing that youth from beyond the realm, Jun Wuxie, they would probably be extremely dangerous. If they were a little slow to admit defeat in a critical moment, they would definitely die on the stage.
Because if Hua Qi was killed in the first match, how could Jun Wuxie not be furious and retaliate?
The participant from the Raging Blade Sect was not very old, looking only in his early twenties.
Jun Wuxie's pupil technique could see the traces of time on his Wheel of Life, with twenty-five marks, meaning that his real age was twenty-five years old.
His realm was the Peak of the Half-God Extreme Heaven Realm.
The other participants from the Raging Blade Sect were also like this.
The participants from Tyrant Sword Manor, the Zou family, and the Fu family were also mostly in this realm, with only a very few reaching the Half-God Absolute Heaven Realm.
“Hua Qi, I heard that you have pure Emperor blood flowing in your veins.
People say how powerful the Great Emperor's bloodline is.
However, in my eyes, what is the Great Emperor's bloodline?
Even if it is a pure-blooded descendant of the Great Emperor, I can easily suppress you!
If you are afraid, you can also hide off the stage and let your backer come up, hahaha!”
That youth began to provoke as soon as he came on stage.
He speculated that Apricot Flower Village would most likely let Hua Qi come up, but he was not 100% sure about this.
Therefore, he had to provoke him, using the tactic of inciting him by talking about the Emperor's blood.
In order not to disgrace the blood flowing in his body, Hua Qi would have no choice but to come up and accept the challenge.
“Extremely arrogant, how dare you demean the Great Emperor's bloodline with your abilities?”
Hua Qi knew that the other party was trying to provoke him, but he still couldn't help but want to go on stage and beat him up.
“Go ahead, don't hold back within the rules.
After all, if you are no match for him, he will definitely strike hard.”
Jun Wuxie said, patting Hua Qi on the shoulder.
A soldier's path rune silently entered Hua Qi's body through his palm.
How could he not know the thoughts of the four major forces in the town?
The killing intent in those people's hearts was too intense.
Every time they looked at Hua Qi, the killing intent in their hearts would instantly become fiery.
They thought that he wouldn't know just because they didn't show it on their faces.
“Yes, Master!”
Hua Qi's heart trembled slightly.
He didn't know what exactly the Master had secretly injected into his body.
But he could feel the terrifying killing intent from that rune!
It seemed that the Master was worried and had buried a means of killing in his body to ensure everything was safe.
Although he believed in his own strength and thought that he didn't need the killing rune given by his Master to deal with the youth from the Raging Blade Sect on the stage.
But the Master's actions still moved him.
“Master cares about me so much, I must not let him down, and I must defeat my opponent with the most powerful attitude!”
Hua Qi thought to himself, and then with a leap, his body soared into the air like a goshawk, landing steadily on the battle stage.
The whole place was instantly silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the battle stage, and they couldn't help but become nervous.
The first match of the first round would definitely be very exciting, and some people might even shed blood on the battle stage.
How could the Raging Blade Sect miss the opportunity to kill the Emperor's blood of Apricot Flower Village?
Those who knew that there was a super existence behind Reckless Village thought of this.
They also had the plan of attracting the attention of that person by killing Hua Qi, the pure-blooded descendant of Apricot Flower Village.
It's just that they didn't have that opportunity.
Now, the Raging Blade Sect was unlucky enough to draw Apricot Flower Village in the first round, but at the same time, it gave them the opportunity to be the first to kill Hua Qi, the pure-blooded descendant.
“Hua Qi, Emperor blood is nothing in my eyes!
Now, I will use my powerful strength to prove it!
I want you, the Emperor blood, to kneel at my feet!”
The youth from the Raging Blade Sect had cold eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, divine laws appeared on his body, and true energy flowed out of his body, condensing into a battle blade burning with raging flames directly above his body!
His aura was rising wildly, forming a strong wind that swept across, like a gust of wind sweeping across the battle stage, causing smoke and dust to fill the air.
Hua Qi held his sword in one hand and stabbed forward casually.
It seemed like a very casual sword, but it was extremely accurate and fast.
Frost flowers fluttered, sword energy burst out, tearing apart the opponent's raging flame blade energy.
Making the fiery red flames extinguish under the cover of frost flowers.
With a ding sound.
The tip of the sword accurately pierced the tip of the opponent's blade.
At the point where the tips of the two blades touched, a wave of true energy instantly surged out.
The remaining force spread out like a wave.
The firelight on the youth from the Raging Blade Sect's battle blade greatly increased.
Immediately, fire snakes rose from the battle blade, fiercely impacting forward, instantly dissolving most of the frost flower power released by Hua Qi's sword move.
Those roaring fire snakes were about to impact Hua Qi's body in an instant.
Almost at the same time, a large number of frost flowers appeared on the battle sword in Hua Qi's hand, forming a frost storm, forcefully pushing back.
The raging flame fire snakes roared, but could not withstand the frost storm, and were torn apart on the spot, and then collapsed with a bang.
The violent energy of the same strength impacted the two, causing them to retreat.
Hua Qi took half a step back, and the youth from the Raging Blade Sect took three steps back to stabilize his body.
“Is this the powerful strength you claim to have?”
Hua Qi mocked, taking a step forward, shaking the battle sword in his hand, and waving a sword light, instantly rushing to the front of the youth from the Raging Blade Sect.
Clang—
Next, the two blades collided, making a series of metallic trembling sounds.
Flames and frost flowers filled the entire battle stage.
People watched without blinking.
Although the two fighting were both Half-Gods, the scene was really exciting, with each other going back and forth, countering each other's moves.
However, soon people saw that the youth from the Raging Blade Sect had fallen into a disadvantage.
A smear of blood splashed up, accompanied by a painful groan, the youth from the Raging Blade Sect was injured.
In the fierce confrontation with Hua Qi, he was ultimately no match, failing to completely resolve the opponent's offensive, and his shoulder was pierced by sword energy.
The wound on his shoulder quickly spread a layer of frost.
But soon, flames ignited on his shoulder, causing the frost to melt.
But this could not change his decline.
Immediately, Hua Qi's attack became more and more fierce, and he became more and more exhausted to cope with it.
The sword wounds on his body gradually increased, making him unwilling in his heart, and he let out a roar.
Boom!
When he was using his battle blade to block Hua Qi's sword energy, he was kicked by Hua Qi, and the whole person flew out, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
After landing, he still couldn't stop his body, and retreated several steps.
“With your kind of stuff, you dare to demean the Emperor's blood?”
Hua Qi approached with his sword, his eyes indifferent.
The battle sword in his hand was wreathed in frosty mist, emanating a chilling aura and seething with murderous intent.
“Hahaha!”
The young man from the Raging Blade Sect was covered in blood, with five or six sword wounds on his body, but his eyes remained fierce.
“That was just a warm-up! Did you really think you could beat me?
Now, I’ll show you what it means to possess power so overwhelming that it cannot be resisted!”
As the Raging Blade Sect youth’s words fell, the battle blade formed from divine true energy in his hand dissipated into a rain of energy light, replaced by a battle blade covered in runes.
This battle blade was not formed from divine law true energy, but was a tangible weapon.
At this moment, Hua Qi charged forward, sword in hand.
The Raging Blade Sect youth wore a sneer on his face.
He poured his divine law true energy into the blade, and the runes on the battle blade instantly lit up with a blazing light.
In an instant, the aura of slaughter soared to the heavens!
Hua Qi’s pupils suddenly contracted. He had already charged in front of the Raging Blade Sect youth, but he abruptly stopped, coming to a screeching halt.
At the same time, the battle sword in his hand rapidly swung, weaving a net of sword energy in front of him. With a tap of his toes on the ground, he retreated explosively.
At this moment, the Raging Blade Sect youth had already unleashed a strike.
In an instant, the blade's aura stretched over ten meters!
“How is that possible? A blade aura of over ten meters? That’s a level only True Gods can achieve!”
“No, that’s a forbidden weapon! He’s using a forbidden weapon! It must be at least a mid-grade Rank Two God artifact to unleash such power in the hands of a demigod at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm!”
The people of the Seven Fort Alliance had not left, staying behind to watch the competition. Immediately, a True God realm expert spoke.
Although somewhat surprised, he was not caught off guard.
After all, they were well aware of the intentions of the major forces in the town. It was not surprising that they would use forbidden weapons.
“Hua Qi of Apricot Blossom Village is doomed this time!”
The people immediately became excited.
They had been too suppressed these past few days, holding their breath in their hearts.
Now that they could finally see someone from Apricot Blossom Village splattered with blood on the spot, they felt an unspeakable joy.
They didn't dare to say it out loud, but their expressions and eyes were filled with schadenfreude, and even a hint of excitement.
