I'm building the perfect territory in the mist.

Chapter 339 Zhang Yu's Strength: Grandmaster VS Grandmaster! (7000 words)

After a brief moment of astonishment, Lord Crimson Sand on the arena also came to his senses.

He sneered, "Run, run all you want, you're going to send people up to fight anyway."

"No matter who it is, I will make them experience a nightmare."

Just then, a deep, middle-aged male voice rang out from the preparation area of ​​Blue Star World: "Is that so? I'd like to see how you're going to make me experience the taste of a nightmare."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of white light descended from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a burly man in a sharp suit appeared on the ring.

He looked at the lord of the Crimson Sand World before him and calmly said, "Jiang Cheng, Zhang Yu, please enlighten me."

"Grandmaster—Grandmaster!" the man exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone on the field was stunned.

None of them expected that Blue Star would send out a Grandmaster-level expert so quickly.

Is this a preparation to directly start a showdown of the best, with the outcome determined by high-end combat power?

Regardless of the circumstances, the Red Sand World is destined to lose this battle.

There is an insurmountable gap between a master and a grandmaster; this is a widely acknowledged fact.

No matter how strong the lord on the field is, he can't possibly be a match for him.

However, since he has already entered the arena, he cannot choose to "avoid battle" until the match is over.

Therefore, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and face this master-level expert.

[Second Match: Blue Star Zhang Yu (97) VS Red Sand Flying Soul (271)]

[Countdown: 30 seconds —]

[29 seconds —]

As the blue numbers above his head kept jumping, the lord of the Crimson Sand World also began to summon troops.

"Buzz—buzz—"

Powerful auras surged forth, including those of fourth-tier leaders and even overlord-level experts.

Even if the enemy is far stronger than himself, he will still go all out.

At the very least, we need to eliminate several of the opponent's units to reduce the pressure on the stronger units that come in later.

However, Zhang Yu simply stood there, quietly watching the man's movements.

He didn't summon any units until the countdown reached zero.

[The match has begun!]

As the blue notification flashed, the lord of the Crimson Sand World paused for a moment.

Then he realized something and a sense of humiliation welled up in his heart.

"Not summoning a single unit? Even if you're a grandmaster-level expert, that's incredibly arrogant!"

He said coldly, "Now I'm giving you your chance. Summon your troops and have a fair duel with me!"

However, Zhang Yu remained calmly standing in place, without making any move.

Seeing this, the man's expression darkened further: "Very well, since you're so arrogant, don't blame me!"

"All forces must be mobilized! Kill him at all costs!"

"Even if you're a grandmaster, I'll make you suffer today!"

"boom!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all ten military branches mobilized, and a terrifying aura swept over them like a tidal wave.

It must be said that the quality of this guy's troops is very high.

Three overlords, three leaders, plus four chieftains.

In addition, these ten types of troops all seem to be strength-based, with amazing explosive power.

If Sikong Yuan hadn't avoided battle, he would probably have been defeated in a single encounter.

Despite the enemy's fierce attack, Zhang Yu did not move, but slowly raised his hands.

In the dim light, the crowd saw what appeared to be a pair of illusory wings behind him.

The wings seemed to be made of countless steel feathers, covered with dense patterns, their metallic sheen gleaming.

"go."

With a gentle flick of his finger, the wings on his back suddenly folded away!

"Whoa!!!"

Countless feathers shot out like a torrential rain, hurtling rapidly forward!

The man from the Red Sand World sensed a deadly threat, his pupils contracted, and he gave a deep command.

"Everyone, hold off this attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten types of troops slowed their charge and quickly switched to a defensive stance.

Like an impregnable wall, it stood firmly in front of the lord!

But just as those flying feathers were about to strike, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The feather ignored the soldiers' attempts to stop it and passed straight through their bodies.

Then, they all rushed towards the Red Sand Lord!

Everyone saw a phantom figure appear behind Lord Crimson Sand, looking similar to him but even more elusive.

Immediately afterwards, all the flying feathers hit the illusory figure.

"Pfft! Pfft pfft pfft!!"

A series of eerie, penetrating sounds rang out.

Even though these flying feathers hit the illusion, and even though the lord didn't have any wounds on his body, everyone felt as if something had been pierced through them.

As the flying feathers rained down, the illusory figure was torn to shreds in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the Red Sand Lord's body stiffened abruptly, and his aura quickly dissipated.

Then, with a "thud," it fell straight down.

The ten types of soldiers on the field also disappeared from their original positions.

[Match 2: Blue Star wins!]

As the blue subtitles flashed, the entire venue fell into a brief silence once again.

Immediately following was an uproar!

"Oh my god! What happened? Flying Soul was instantly killed?"

"What's going on? Those troops couldn't stop his attack, and Fei Hun died inexplicably?"

"What kind of attack method is this?"

Some of the lords of the Crimson Sand World were quite bewildered and looked at the arena with confusion.

"It's a soul skill."

From the crowd, an old woman with a deep aura spoke up: "This grandmaster from the Blue Star World just used a soul skill."

"They're really willing to sacrifice so much, actually using up years of soul power right from the start, just to instantly kill a master."

Upon hearing the explanation, the lords of the Crimson Sand World showed expressions of sudden realization, while their apprehension deepened!

Although I know that there is a big gap between a master and a grandmaster.

But I never expected it to be this big.

In a single exchange, a top-tier master-level lord was instantly killed without even inflicting any damage on his opponent.

Putting themselves in their shoes, none of them felt they could withstand that attack.

This is the terror of a grandmaster-level expert, especially those grandmasters who have mastered soul skills, who can kill people invisibly.

A master-level expert simply has no chance of defeating a grandmaster.

Freaks like Grom Hellscream and Kratos are ultimately just a minority.

"Who will fight next?"

Zhang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the preparation area of ​​the Crimson Sand World, a faint smile on his face.

Behind him, a group of powerful figures from Earth were also extremely excited!

I thought that with such a large gap in strength, the fight would be very difficult.

Unexpectedly, they won two games in a row right from the start, exceeding everyone's expectations.

This gave them a glimmer of hope.

Maybe—they really can win this final!

At this moment, everyone in the Crimson Sand World was furious and their faces turned red with anger at Zhang Yu's provocation.

"Very good, you actually sent out a Grandmaster in the second match, and even used a Soul Skill. Let's see if you have any other tricks up your sleeve."

From the crowd, the old woman holding the crystal ball said in a deep voice, "I'll fight the next battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light enveloped him.

When they reappeared, they were already on the arena.

The moment the old woman stepped onto the stage, she seemed like a completely different person; her hunched back gradually straightened, and her withered skin quickly regained its moisture.

"Whoosh! His black robe fluttered without wind, and an aura unique to a grandmaster-level expert suddenly emanated from him!"

Zhang Yu's expression shifted slightly, and he subconsciously distanced himself.

Seeing this, the old woman said coldly, "Earthling, are you trying to run away too?"

"It's okay, run! Run as fast as you can!"

"Once I've wiped out all the strongmen of your Blue Star, it will be your turn."

Zhang Yu glanced at the other person, a strange look appearing on his face.

"I never said I was going to run away," he said calmly.

"Very well." A bloodthirsty red light flashed in the old woman's eyes. "Now, I will finish you off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue countdown appeared above his head.

[Match 3: Blue Star Zhang Yu (97) VS Red Sand Black Smoke Luo (86)]

[Countdown: 30 seconds —]

[29 seconds —]

As the battle about to begin on the arena unfolded, everyone, from the two opposing worlds to the powerful figures in the audience, took their breath away.

After all, this is the first grandmaster-level battle between the two worlds, and also a moment to test the top combat power of both sides.

Regardless of which side wins, it will affect the other side's subsequent rhythm.

[Countdown: 20 seconds —]

[19 seconds —]

As the blue numbers kept changing, both sides summoned their respective units.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

As white light flashed continuously, powerful auras filled the entire arena!

As grandmaster-level powerhouses, the quality of their troops is naturally higher than that of master-level troops, and their strength is also greater.

At this moment, ten distinct figures stood in front of the old woman.

Among them, the leader was a fifth-tier blazing sun giant with a crown on his head and three stars surrounding him.

This giant spirit was three zhang tall, and its entire body was crimson red, resembling a burning humanoid sun!

It was accompanied by nine Tier 4 units, all of which had high potential.

Among them are 1 "Crown Potential Sand Giant Wolf", 4 "Overlord Three-Star Wind Erosion Harpy", and 4 "Boss Three-Star Sand Scorpions".

This is the foundation of a grandmaster-level expert.

Each type of troop is capable of standing alone in the hands of an ordinary lord.

She can summon ten of them with a flick of her wrist.

Zhang Yu's side was not to be outdone, led by a crown-shaped, fifth-tier, tier-one monstrous bird with a wingspan of over four meters and its body flowing with lava.

Eight powerful figures followed beside them.

One "Crown One-Star Golden Stone Golem", four "Overlord Three-Star Savage Minotaur", and three "Chief Three-Star Human Archers".

Judging solely from potential, Zhang Yu's side seems to be a bit weaker.

However, at the Grandmaster level, these gaps can be bridged by skillful maneuvering or by the lord's own combat prowess.

However, to everyone's surprise, the tenth unit Zhang Yu summoned was neither a leader nor a hegemon.

Instead, it's a "green slime" with a three-star boss.

Seeing this, everyone looked astonished.

After all, according to the competition rules, once the unit type is selected, it cannot be changed later.

Therefore, everyone will summon their strongest units to be in the best possible condition for battle.

But Zhang Yu summoned a boss monster, or just an ordinary slime?

A murmur of discussion immediately arose in the audience.

"What's going on with this grandmaster? He even sent a slime? Doesn't he have any other capable subordinates?"

"Impossible, right? This is a Grandmaster-level expert. Even if his territory's resources are weak, he wouldn't send a slime into battle, would he?"

"It's hard to say. He may have just broken through to the Grandmaster level recently, or he may have broken through to the Grandmaster level with the help of some kind of treasure, so his territory's foundation is not strong enough."

"Indeed—so it seems like the Red Sand World is destined to win, isn't it?"

On the other side, the old woman was also quite surprised to see the troops that Zhang Yu had summoned.

She glanced at the slime, then at Zhang Yu with a faint smile on his face, and her heart tightened for no reason.

But she quickly calmed down again.

It's just a slime, nothing special at all, you could kill it with a single slap.

Meanwhile, Qin Lang, Shen Xing, and the others watching from below the stage wore strange smiles on their faces.

"Unexpectedly, the first Grandmaster-level expert that Director Zhang faced was this Black Smoke Luo."

9"

Qin Lang lowered his voice, "According to intelligence, this person's combat system has obvious weaknesses."

"The director summoned this slime specifically to counter her, right?"

Shen Xing nodded: "This slime of his must have mutated; it has a special power."

"Let's wait and see, maybe this slime will give us some surprises."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayi, Yu Feifei, and the others couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Xia Lingyin and Xia Wanyin were gathered together, seemingly discussing something in hushed tones.

It's worth mentioning that Xia Lingyin is also among the top 1,000 on the leaderboard.

Although they barely made it in, their abilities are still quite good.

Upon arriving at the competition venue, he immediately found his younger sister.

Meanwhile, only 2 seconds remained on the countdown timer in the ring.

[Countdown: 1 seconds —]

[Countdown: 0 seconds —]

[The match has begun!]

At the moment the countdown resets to zero.

"boom!!!"

Both sides erupted simultaneously, unleashing their most terrifying attacks!

The old woman's "Sun Guardian" raised her hands, and a huge dark red fireball appeared.

Then it hurled it at everyone like a hurled iron ball!

"The fireballs roared through the air, and even before they got close, destructive waves of energy swept over them."

Zhang Yu's Lava Bird was not to be outdone.

With a flap of its wings, countless fiery feathers emerged from behind, then swept out towards the enemy with overwhelming force!

Meanwhile, the nine different troop types also launched their attacks simultaneously.

The wind-eroded harpy stirred up a cloud of dust, the sand scorpions burst out with venom, and the sand giant wolf let out a long howl!

The golden stone man clashed his fists together, the savage minotaur slammed the totem into the ground, and the archers unleashed a barrage of destructive arrows!

The attacks from both sides collided in mid-air.

Fireballs and fire feathers clashed, sandstorms and arrows were annihilated in the sky of fire waves, and terrifying shockwaves rose from the ground!

"boom!!!"

The center of the arena was instantly filled with various lights!

Even through the protective light shield, everyone could feel waves of terrifying energy.

"How terrifying! Is this what a battle between grandmaster-level experts is like? It feels like even the aftershocks could kill a fourth-tier master!"

"Yeah—and this is just a regular competition; they haven't even used their trump cards yet!"

"That's incredible! I hope that one day I can reach that level too."

Discussions arose continuously from the audience.

Some were amazed, while others were envious.

As the light faded, the first wave of collisions ended.

Zhang Yu and the old woman were each forced back several steps, and the soldiers under their command also suffered varying degrees of damage.

However, because Zhang Yu's side was missing a soldier, they suffered a slight loss in this engagement.

One of the minotaurs was splattered with flames and suffered extensive burns.

But before they could even gain a foothold, both sides mobilized their troops simultaneously!

They all burst into extreme speed and rushed towards each other, unexpectedly choosing to engage in close combat!

After all, this kind of long-range attack exchange is a contest of the energy intensity of both sides.

Close combat is the fastest way to determine the winner.

"boom!!!"

Zhang Yu led his nine troop types forward, followed by a bouncy slime.

On the other side, the old woman chose to retreat and hide behind the soldiers.

This created a situation where eleven was fighting ten.

In addition, Zhang Yu is a master-level expert with considerable combat power.

In a single exchange, they routed their opponent.

"puff!!"

The Crown-level Sand Giant Wolf was hit by Zhang Yu's mental fist and was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

The Golden Stone Golem and the Lava Bird, two Crown-level units, battled the Fiery Giant, defeating it with a roar that echoed throughout the battlefield.

even!

At the same time, the lava bird continuously stirred up a sky full of fiery feathers, piercing holes in the flesh of the enemy harpy and sand scorpion!

The old woman's other military units have been completely suppressed.

Upon seeing this, the powerful figures of the Crimson Sand World couldn't help but frown.

The old woman, however, remained completely calm, her withered lips even curving into a slight smile.

She took out the crystal ball that she had been hiding in her sleeve, her eerie green eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Now, I'll show you what I'm capable of—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crystal ball began to spin rapidly, its surface emitting a faint white light.

Then, the old woman simply closed her eyes.

The ten soldiers under her command suddenly stiffened at that moment.

But in just a moment, those troops resumed their movements.

Moreover, their fighting style also underwent a significant change at this moment.

When Zhang Yu unleashed his mental giant fist again, before he could even get close, the "Sand Skeleton Giant Wolf" suddenly charged forward, dodging the attack.

This strike.

And with a backhand slap, he sent a minotaur flying.

As the lava bird flapped its wings, once again stirring up a flurry of feathers, the harpies, with their uncanny movements, slipped through the gaps.

Then the corrosive sand was stirred up again, causing severe erosion of the minotaurs' bodies.

They easily dodged even the arrows fired by the chief archers.

It was as if they could foresee the future and predict the movements of Zhang Yumo's troops.

"boom!!!"

The Sun Guardian unleashed a massive fireball, which exploded like a nuclear bomb in the crowd.

A terrifying shockwave erupted, instantly sending Zhang Yumo and his group of powerful figures flying!

At the same time, the giant sand wolf pounced forward, its huge claws raised high, and slammed down on one of the minotaurs!

"Pfft!!"

The minotaur was already scorched beyond recognition by the flames, and now it suffered another heavy blow, tearing its powerful body apart on the spot!

After landing heavily on the ground, it rolled a few times before disappearing in a flash of white light.

Even Zhang Yu, along with the other nine military branches, was blasted backwards and sent flying hundreds of meters.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were once again filled with shock!

"She actually turned the tide in an instant! What kind of ability does Black Smoke Luo possess?"

"I don't know, it seems to be the effect of some kind of innate talent, which greatly enhances the combat capabilities of those troop types!"

"It's not that their combat abilities have improved, but rather that they have all gained a certain predictive ability, enabling them to anticipate the attack movements of enemy units."

"What?! That's so perverted?"

A series of gasps came from the audience.

Cheers erupted from the Red Sand World side.

"Haha! Well done, Senior Black Smoke Luo!"

"Let them see the true power of the Crimson Sand World!"

"That's it, maintain the advantage and crush him!"

They raised their arms to cheer on the old woman on stage.

On the other hand, in the waiting area on Blue Star, the group of powerful figures looked serious, their eyes filled with worry.

On the ring at this moment.

Zhang Yu reacted extremely quickly after being knocked away in one wave.

He immediately led his nine troop types to their feet and charged towards the enemy at top speed.

On the opposite side, the old woman was hiding in the back.

Although their eyes were closed, it was as if they could control their every move.

"Heh heh—do you still dare to charge at me?"

"Very well, now I'll show you what true powerlessness is."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible mental fluctuation erupted.

She surveyed the ten types of soldiers, and at that moment, her eyes narrowed, fixed intently on her opponent's movements.

Then, another bizarre scene unfolded.

Zhang Yumo's fifth-tier lava bird stirred up a sky full of lava fire feathers.

Combined with the Human archers' [Arrow Rain] skill, it swept across the land in an overwhelming barrage.

The dense attack completely covered the area in front of and above the enemy.

In this situation, there is simply no way to avoid it.

But the soldiers under the old woman's command moved like nimble fish, weaving through countless attacks and avoiding most of the damage.

Only a small portion of the attacks hit, and they didn't cause much of an impact.

Not only that, they also took advantage of the moment when the distance closed in to launch another wave of concentrated fire!

"boom!!!"

A terrifying energy surge erupted, and Zhang Yu and the nine types of soldiers under him were once again thrown out.

This time, they also paid the price of a leader-level archer.

But his movements did not stop at all.

After being blasted away, he immediately led his troops to charge forward again.

Seeing this, everyone on the field frowned, not quite understanding what Zhang Yu was doing.

After all, under normal circumstances, anyone else would have changed their tactics by now.

But he seemed determined to keep trying to close the distance, as if he wouldn't turn back until he hit a brick wall.

"boom!!!"

Another wave of concentrated fire erupted, and Zhang Yu's group was blasted away once again, with everyone suffering considerable injuries.

Similarly, he did not pause at all and led his troops to charge again.

The old woman grinned and sneered, "What a foolish fellow! Trying to break through the soldiers' defenses and capture me directly?"

"But even if you wipe out all your troops, you still can't do it before my abilities."

After saying that, she spun the crystal ball in her hand again.

"A wave of invisible energy swept out, enveloping his ten major troop types, along with Zhang Yumo's eight major troop types."

Just when everyone thought Zhang Yu was going to continue leading his men forward, his movements suddenly stopped.

The next second, a figure leaped high into the air.

"Pfft!"

Everyone looked up and saw a green thing rushing into the air, its body round and smooth, like a ball of jelly.

It was that boss-level slime.

Before they could even understand what Zhang Yu was doing,

The slime's body suddenly began to writhe violently, and countless cracks appeared on its surface.

Then, with a "poof," its massive body shattered into pieces on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, it shattered into thousands of jelly fragments.

These fragments quickly coalesced and became new slimes.

However, his strength and potential have both dropped drastically, turning him into a third-tier elite.

This is not over yet!

These new slimes also began to wriggle violently.

Then, just like the original slime, it exploded with a "poof" sound, turning into countless fragments!

The fragments continued to split.

After four or five repetitions, the giant slime jelly split into nearly a million mini slimes.

!

"Splash—"

Countless green slimes floated in mid-air, then shot out in all directions, bouncing back and forth.

"Pfft! Pfft pfft pfft!"

Like a hail of bullets, it instantly filled the entire arena.

This series of perplexing actions left everyone bewildered.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, as the slime split wildly, the crystal ball in Black Smoke's hand also began to spin faster.

"Splash—splash—"

The crystal ball spun faster and faster.

The old woman's body also began to tremble violently as if she had been electrocuted!

Even the ten major military branches were shaking violently!

The old witch struggled to open her eyes.

He was completely stunned when he saw the slime fragments flying everywhere.

"How—how could you know about my weakness—"

"Snap!"

Before the words were even finished, the crystal ball seemed to have exceeded its limit, and a crack suddenly appeared on its surface!

Immediately afterwards, more and more cracks appeared, and clear cracking sounds echoed.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

After reaching a certain limit.

The crystal ball exploded with a "bang," sending fragments flying everywhere.

The old woman, along with the ten soldiers under Mo, all seemed to suffer a huge backlash, their bodies suddenly stiffening!

Make the most of this brief moment.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yu suddenly clenched his fist, and an invisible mental wave erupted!

Immediately afterwards, a giant spiritual fist descended from the sky and slammed down hard on the old woman.

"boom!!!"

A violent mental surge erupted, smashing the old woman into a bloody pulp, blood splattering everywhere!

With the lord's death, the ten troop types seemed to lose their connection, turning into streaks of white light and disappearing from the arena.

The changes happened too quickly.

From the moment that boss-level slime suddenly split into millions of parts, to the old woman's crystal ball shattering, and then Zhang Yu's final punch.

The entire process took less than two seconds.

Whether they were spectators from both worlds or top experts in the audience, everyone was stunned.

[Match 3, Blue Star wins!]
