Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 69 Where is the [Saint]? Come out and take your beating!

"The second match of the first stage has come to a successful conclusion, with the military strategist [God of War] Meng Yi emerging victorious! The agricultural strategist [Daoist Lord] has withdrawn in disappointment. Let's give a round of applause to the military strategist [God of War]! Wait! The military strategist [God of War] has been severely poisoned and has also been forced to leave the stage!"

"Next up is the third match of the first stage, the Mohist [Heroic Immortal] versus the Mohist [Daoist Lord]! Both contestants, prepare to enter the arena!"

The audience seats instantly filled with excitement. ☞💔 ☠🌷

"Here comes everyone's favorite part: the internal power struggle!"

"Haha! Internal strife is the most interesting; only when using the same techniques can one truly showcase their skill!"

"In this final round of the competition, only the Confucian school has two members, and the Mohist school has two. If there's going to be an internal battle, we'll have to see between the Confucian and Mohist schools!"

At this moment, even the commentator on the side enthusiastically began to explain, "As we all know, the Mohist school is divided into two factions: the Chivalrous School and the Craftsmen School. The Chivalrous School follows the path of Mo Di, the first leader of the Mohist school, who traveled the world to punish evil and promote good. The Craftsmen School mainly focuses on the skills of mechanics and crafts. Although the two factions are one, their internal struggles are as fierce as those of the disciples of the Guigu School! The disciples of the Guigu School fought to the death, and the Chivalrous School and the Craftsmen School are also vying for the top spot. This internal struggle is sure to be a spectacular show..."

Qin Feng was in a bad mood while sitting in the players' seats. He thought, "If you commentators don't have anything to do, you can consider doing pole dancing. There's no need to bring up the Strategists in everything you say!"

Our Guigu School is notorious for its internal strife, but is it polite for you to constantly bring it up? It's as if we're the negative example! That's just prejudice on your part!

At this moment, in the center of the arena, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Mo family twins have taken their positions.

Although both are from the Mohist school, their attire is completely different, so much so that outsiders would not even recognize them as belonging to the same sect.

【Heroic Immortal】Brother Dao, Xiao Hei, is dressed in a simple Jianghu (martial arts world) outfit, wearing a bamboo hat, holding a long knife, and with his arms crossed, exuding the air of a Jianghu hero!

The Mo family member opposite him, Daojun, was dressed in a black and white robe with a large "Mo" character on his chest. His hair was tied with a hairpin, and he was very polite. He had handsome features and the air of a scholarly Confucian disciple.

After a brief standoff, the Mohist Daoist bowed in a traditional martial arts salute, saying, "Senior Brother, how have you been?"

The straw hat covered half of Xiao Hei's face, so his eyes couldn't be seen. His voice was calm, "Is there any need to fight? You are no match for me."

The Mo family's Daoist Master laughed, "My last sparring session with my senior brother was three years ago, at the foot of the Mo family's Mechanical City. My senior brother had just returned from his training in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and I had just forged my own Nine-Tailed Fox Beast Armor. I overestimated myself and fought with my senior brother, and as a result, my Nine-Tailed Fox, which I had cultivated for five years, was destroyed by my senior brother! Do you know how heartbroken I was that night? From that moment on, I vowed that I would defeat you honorably! I would destroy your Dao!"

The thug said, "A defeated opponent is still a defeated opponent! Bring it on!"

Xiao Hei brandished his knife, its blade gleaming with an air of dominance, an invisible force emanating from it as it flew and dispersed.

The Mo family's Daoist Master retreated, his right hand spinning a cross-shaped woodworking key. The moment the woodworking cross key struck the ground, the entire arena began to shake!

On the referee's stand, General Wang Jian stroked his beard and said, "A spatial key...this is going to be something big!"

Li Si said casually, "The Mohists like beast-shaped mechs, and most of them are forged from bronze. Although their defensive capabilities are not as good as the classical mechs and assembly-line mechs on the market today, their design is closer to the divine mechs of the Zhou Dynasty."

Wang Jian said, "Heh, they've been working on this for so many years, and they haven't even produced a proper, combat-ready divine mech. On the contrary, that kid Qin Feng has a combat-ready Martial Virtue that's closest to a divine mech!"

Li Si said, "The Mo Family's Mechanical City is notoriously stubborn. They look down on modern mecha technology and only seek out the original blueprints of the Divine Mecha, attempting to replicate its peak. Qin Feng, however, is different. He boldly innovates and adapts the core concepts and ideas of the Divine Mecha, building upon the existing foundation. In the long run, the Mo Family's design approach has a clearer future, but in terms of implementation difficulty, Qin Feng's approach is easier to execute. After all, the Supercontinent no longer exists, and many things on it are not available in the New Universe. Even if they were given the Divine Mecha blueprints, they wouldn't be able to forge it!"

Wang Jian said with a smile, "No wonder, the ones who truly understand the art of adaptability are the strategists. They are all very resourceful and have no bottom line, unlike us simple-minded juniors from the military school, who are all a bit dim-witted."

Li Si laughed, "My Legalists aren't just lacking in common sense, they're missing a brain! The [Desolate God's] head is really just an ornament. Sometimes I think, if Han Feizi had the [Desolate God's] fighting power, how wonderful that would be! Just like Qin Feng, both scholarly and martial, perfect!"

Wang Jian joked, "Still not as good as Qin Feng. Qin Feng can build mechs!"

Li Si smiled politely and didn't say anything more.

In the center of the arena, an ancient aura emanating from the wilderness spread out. Within the dark blue beam of light, the ground beneath the feet of the Mo family's Daoist Lord began to crack, and a bronze-forged chair suddenly appeared beneath him!

Even faster, from the beams of black and white light, a terrifying bronze behemoth more than ten zhang long appeared before us.

Judging from its appearance, this bronze behemoth resembles a fox. Its pointed mouth reveals finely crafted, jet-like teeth, while nine bronze tails sway behind the mecha, exuding an indescribable agility and grace, giving the impression that this nine-tailed fox is a living creature.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, and Qin Feng in the contestant's seat also watched with great interest.

Qin Feng originally thought he was the only one who brought the big treasure, but he didn't expect that the Mo family's [Daoist Lord] also brought one. This is too interesting!

"Senior brother! You're doomed to lose!"

In the arena, the Mohist Daoist Lord confidently declared, "This time, I will avenge my previous humiliation!"

Brother Dao and Little Black brandished their long swords, gently blowing on them. "Last time I cut down your mechanical beast, it took you three years to repair it. This time I cut you down, how many years will it take to repair it?"

The nine-tailed fox leaped into the air, and the Mo family's Daoist Master suddenly rose up, his nine tails forming a ring-shaped umbrella. The nine tails released light and flames, and the nine-tailed fox opened its huge mouth, spewing a chilling white flame towards his senior brother below!

Xiao Hei seemed to have anticipated this move. He pinched the edge of the bamboo hat between his right index and middle fingers and threw it suddenly. The bamboo hat flew into the sky and spun around, blocking the white rainbow laser!

Even faster, a dark figure appeared on the screen. The swordsman leaped from the ground and slashed his long sword at the Mo family's Daoist Lord on the control panel, aiming straight for the Daoist Lord's heart!

The nine-tailed fox flipped over, and bronze mechanisms on its nine tails activated, sending out dozens of black bronze wooden figures!

This slash was less than a foot away from the Mo family's Daoist Master's brow, but Xiao Hei could no longer move forward. Dozens of Mo family mechanical figures behind him had already placed ink threads on his neck, arms, and legs!

The two stared at each other in mid-air in a strange posture.

The Mohist Daoist Lord, riding a nine-tailed fox, unleashed the full power of his mechanical beasts!

The swordsman, Xiao Hei, brandished his long sword with an air of superiority, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

On the big screen, countless people held their breath, staring intently at the pair of Mo family twins. Would they fight to the death, or would they each give way?

The answer has been revealed!

The long sword ruthlessly stabbed down, piercing the heart of the Mo family's Daoist Master!

At the same time, dozens of mechanical figures behind him attacked simultaneously, and dozens of black ink lines pierced through the body of the [Heroic Immortal]!

Rumble!

The nine-tailed fox mechanical beast seemed to have lost control, roaring fiercely as it tried to devour the [Heroic Immortal] in one gulp.

At the critical moment, the [Heroic Immortal] still had the strength to fight back. He grabbed the giant mouth of the mechanical beast with both hands, and with all his might, he threw it over his shoulder!

The terrifying bronze Mo family mechanical beast, a full ten feet long, was lifted into the air by the [Xia Xian], and then with a violent impact, the huge mechanical beast disintegrated into countless parts, its nine tails resembling nine pythons, struggling on the ground!

The Mo family's Daoist Master staggered, clutching his chest wound, and stood up, laughing heartily, "Senior Brother, you can get injured too? I never expected that! Someone as proud as you could be injured!"

The swordsman coldly said, "You're dead, you piece of trash!"

The Mohist Daoist laughed smugly, "I won't die! Let me tell you a secret: my heart is different from others. Everyone else's heart is on the left, but mine is on the right! Two hearts, both on the right, hahaha!"

Before the Mo family's Daoist Lord could finish laughing, a punch landed squarely on his face!

Mo Family's Daoist Master collapsed to the ground. He struggled to say something decent, but ultimately couldn't hold on and fell to the ground with a thud.

[The Immortal Swordsman] clenched his fists, wanting to finish him off!

But after taking only a few steps, the Immortal's legs were suddenly severed at the knees, and his arms were also severed. He was left with only his torso, lying on the ground unconscious!

Seeing this, the logistics staff of Daqin rushed to clean up the mess.

At this moment, both inside and outside the stadium, everyone was utterly silent.

When your own sect fights with other sects, at most you'll just have to decide who wins and who loses.

Fighting between your own sects is a sure way to lose your life!

Look at these two from the Mo family, every move they make is aimed at killing!

The junior brother used the ink lines of the Mo family's mechanical puppet to cut off his senior brother's legs and arms!

The senior brother played a truth or dare game with his junior brother with a single slash, intending to kill him!

The live broadcast of the competition took a while to recover. "Heretics deserve to die, but heretics deserve to die even more. We can see that the Mohist disciples are almost unmatched by the Strategists in their internal strife. It's a pity that two amazing experts have left the stage in this sectarian infighting. But the flowers bloom the same every year, and the people remain the same year after year. Isn't the purpose of this grand competition to showcase such heroic spirit? Let us pay the highest respect to the two masters for their departure. Now, let's look at the stage. The remaining contestants are the [One Saint], [Two Gods], and [Three Immortals]: [Drunken Sword Immortal] and [Vast True Immortal], the [Daoist Lord] of the Famous School, and [Sheng Tian Ban Zi] of the Strategists. The competition is about to reach its climax!"

After a long silence, the announcement finally rang out in the arena: "In the third match of the first round, the inner disciples of the Mohist School, [Xia Xian] and [Dao Jun], were both seriously injured and are now receiving treatment. Next up is the fourth match of the first round, between the Legalist School's [Huang Shen] and [Hao Ran Zhen Xian]! Let's wait and see!"

In the contestant's seats, [Wild God] glanced at Qin Feng beside him and muttered, "Brother Qin, I've taken care of the last two obstacles for you. The only one left is this old geezer. Good luck!"

Qin Feng was a little confused. What was going on?

Before Qin Feng could even ask a question, [Wild God] had already jumped off the stage!

In the middle of the arena, [Wild God] raised his left hand high and shouted, "If we fight them one by one like this, it'll take forever! I demand to fight two at once!"

These words caused an uproar in the room!

[Wild God] declared confidently, "According to the plan, my next opponents are nothing more than this Confucian bookworm and this argumentative scholar. In my opinion, you are all cowards! You two might as well come at me together, instead of wasting time taking it one by one!"

Faced with such reckless words, [Immortal Haoran] looked down at [God of Desolation] who was spouting nonsense below and said, "As expected of a second god, actually asking himself to increase the difficulty. Brother Gongsun, what do you think?"

[Master] Gongsun Shengxie smiled slightly, "This barbarian is ignorant of his own limitations. Since he has taken the initiative to provoke us, we can accept it. Let's go and teach this barbarian a lesson!"

【Haoran Zhenxian】 and the renowned 【Daojun】 descended together. ♤💚 ➅➈丂𝐡𝓤ˣ.ᑕ𝕆ⓜ 🍟🎅

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire venue was brought to its peak.

"Did you see that? That's what a true master is! This is a true master from the Legalist school! To fight two against one truly shows a hero's character!"

"Our Legalist school, when it takes action, will annihilate all obstacles with overwhelming force! Without absolute violence, how can the justice of the law be guaranteed!"

"I hope this 'Wild God' from the Legalist school doesn't get killed by the experts from both sides!"

On the referee's stand, Wang Jian watched [Wild God] with great interest. "Brother Li, this Legalist disciple has ambition! He's going to fight two against one!"

Li Si said nonchalantly, "Just a reckless brute with no strategy."

Wang Jian said, "Is he really just a reckless brute? I don't think so. He's a wise fool! Among the current contestants, the easiest to deal with for him are [Immortal Haoran] and [Master Daoist]. Their martial arts are mostly based on the spiritual and soul-based doctrines of Confucius. This kind of soul attack, Haoran True Qi, has a huge impact on us Central Plains people. But he's different. He's not from the Central Plains, and he's not even from the solar system. He's a mixed-race child of the Rong, Yi, and other tribes from outside the solar system. He grew up in the desolate volcano, listening to the teachings of the Great God Zhurong. He doesn't believe in Confucius or Laozi at all, and he doesn't believe in the Haoran True Qi of the Central Plains. Because of this, he has some natural advantages!"

"With such advantages, coupled with his own martial arts skills and the iron-fisted support of Legalist principles, defeating two people wouldn't be difficult for him!"

"To win against two opponents single-handedly is a remarkable achievement in this final competition, far surpassing that simple-minded Meng Yi from the military strategist!

Li Si said, "It's rare for General Wang to think so highly of my Legalist barbarians. Let's wait and see how much of the invincibility and confidence the old general speaks of truly lives up to his words!"

On the field, [Wild God] stretched his neck, looking at the two guys opposite him, "To be honest, I'm most annoyed by you rats who spout nonsense about benevolence and morality. If Confucius's benevolence and morality were really useful, the world would have been unified long ago, and there wouldn't be so much war!"

[Immortal Haoran] had a cold expression. He raised his right hand, and a deep, icy aura emanated from between his fingers. It was an icy sword!

As soon as the sword was drawn, knowledgeable people at the scene recognized its origin.

"Water Cloud Realm! Heavens, this thing really exists! I always thought Water Cloud Realm had disappeared!"

"What is Shuiyunjian?!"

"This thing is a piece of jade. It is said that Ou Yezi encountered it when he was forging swords. Legend has it that this jade comes from ten-thousand-year-old ice and can automatically change its form according to the cultivator's state of mind, transforming into swords and armor!"

"So, does this count as a weapon he made himself? Is it against the rules?"

"It's definitely not against the rules! Once a jade like Shuiyunjian is bound, it can't be transferred. He can only cultivate day and night, so it can be considered that he created it himself!"

No sooner said than done, [Haoran Zhenxian] wielded the Water Cloud Sword, which had been formed from the Water Cloud, and thrust it toward [Huangshen]'s face!

The god grinned and stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing a terrifying crack to appear. A beam of crimson magma flame shot into the sky from the crack!

The molten lava sizzled and transformed into a mighty waterfall, blocking the Water Cloud Sword!

Even faster, the lava dissipated, only to be met with a terrifying longsword, its lava spreading out, hurtling towards them!

[Wild God] The greatsword moves with wide, sweeping strokes, its fiery aura filling the surroundings. The powerful sword energy is infused with blazing blood energy, devoid of any fancy moves, its sole purpose being to take the opponent's life!

In the audience, someone asked, "Isn't this knife against the rules?"

Soon, an explanation emerged: "Legend has it that this sword was formed from a divine stone from the Desolate Volcano, and was given to the [Desolate God] at birth as a gift from the mountain god! Like the Water Cloud Sword, it was forged from a young age! It's not against the rules!"

On the battlefield, [Haoran Zhenxian] was forced to retreat step by step by [Huangshen]. Relying solely on martial arts, [Haoran Zhenxian] simply could not withstand the attack!

At the critical moment, [Haoran Zhenxian] brandished his longsword, deflecting the blood-red giant blade, and leaped into the sky to create distance!

"Trying to run?" [Aragami] tilted his head. "You can bring that jerk along! I really don't mind beating both of you together!"

[Immortal Haoran] held his longsword horizontally in front of him, gently wiping the blade with one hand. "Confucius said, 'The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits!'"

As soon as the words were spoken, the water and clouds suddenly sprang apart, transforming into words that resembled countless water ripples!

【Haoran Zhenxian】 Blood beads fell from his two fingers, and the blood energy gathered on the characters. Instantly, the characters in Shuiyun became as large as a hundred-ton truck with four front and eight rear, and crashed down in a mighty manner!

[Haoran Zhenxian] recited aloud, "Confucius said, 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.' How virtuous was Xu Mu, whose name will be remembered for eternity! She remained chaste and devoted to her family; she taught her children many ways and endured hardship herself; her spirit was as lofty as a mountain, and her righteousness came from the depths of her heart; she praised Yuzhou and criticized Cao Cao; she was not afraid of the cauldron or the axe; she only feared that her descendants would disgrace her ancestors. She lay down her sword and flowed with the current, cut the loom and was worthy of the title; she lived with honor and died in a worthy place: How virtuous was Xu Mu, whose name will be remembered for eternity!"

Behind the [Haoran True Immortal], a refined and majestic figure appeared. As the Haoran Qi infused with the power of his essence and blood, countless hundred-ton kings appeared in the water and clouds, seemingly tilting their weight to crush the [Wilderness God] to death!

Indeed, the true essence of Confucianism is often the simplest and most unadorned!

If you don't believe me, I'll smash you to death!

Upon seeing this, the [Wild God] took a few steps back, thrusting his long sword forward with a sudden jabs. His hands formed strange hand seals, and his voice boomed, "Raging holy fire, burn my withered body! What joy is there in living? What bitterness in dying?"

"To do good and eliminate evil is for the sake of light. Joy and sorrow, all return to dust."

"Pity the people of this world, for they suffer so much! Pity the people of this world, for they suffer so much!"

Amidst the cries of prayer in the wilderness, a strange and terrifying fire god rose up behind the [Wild God], resembling Zhurong, the fire god of the mythical era!

The God of Fire actually met the back view of the Master in the sky and held his own!

Countless massive truck-like fragments formed from the water and clouds fell and collided with countless fiery essences, resulting in a stalemate between the [Great Immortal] and the [Desolate God]!

Just then, the [Master Daoist] who had been watching from the sidelines suddenly leaped up, his figure transforming into an arrow released from a bow, and attacked [Desolate God]!

This scene was witnessed by countless viewers.

"Holy crap, the masters really do maintain their shamelessness—they're invincible! They even resorted to sneak attacks!"

"Those two are having a friendly match, can't you, the expert, wait a bit?"

"What do you mean by 'ambush'? This Legalist 'Wild God' insists on calling it a one-against-two fight, but this isn't an ambush for the School of Names; it's just a normal exchange of blows!"

"You can only blame [Aragami] for being greedy, taking on two at once. Are you satisfied now?"

The timing of [Mingjia Daojun]'s attack was undeniably cunning and opportune, but just as [Mingjia Daojun] was about to strike [Huangshen], Gongsun Shengxie suddenly changed direction and released a flying knife towards [Haoran Zhenxian]!

Yes, you read that right, he released a flying knife at [Haoran Zhenxian]!

At this moment, not only were the [Desolate God] present stunned, but even the [Great Immortal] was dumbfounded.

Damn it! Didn't we agree to fight those barbarians together, bro? Why the hell are you playing dirty tricks on me?!

However, no sooner said than done, the flying knife struck the shoulder of [Haoran Zhenxian] squarely, interrupting his Haoran Zhenxian's Haoran Zhenqi, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

[Wild God] seized the opportunity, leaped up, and with a swift movement of his long sword, slashed directly at [Immortal Haoran]!

Even a powerful immortal like Haoran Zhenxian couldn't withstand this strike. He blocked with his Shuiyun Sword, but it was cleaved into countless jade fragments by the barbarian Desolate God!

[Immortal Haoran] gritted his teeth, "Gongsun Shengxie! You traitor! Die!"

[Haoran Zhenxian] suddenly waved his hand, and countless jade fragments rushed towards Gongsun Shengxie!

Caught off guard, Gongsun Shengxie was pierced through and took the full force of the furious blow from [Haoran Zhenxian].

[Haoran Zhenxian] was truly in a terrible state; the barbarian's longsword severed both of his arms, and blood soaked through his scholar's robes. He was already unconscious.

[Wild God] turned back to look at Gongsun Shengxie, who was lying on the ground barely alive, and asked in confusion, "Are you out of your mind? Didn't we agree that you two would fight me?"

[Master Daoist] Gongsun Shengxie's face was full of ferocious smiles. "Even if the two of us combined, we still couldn't beat you! I know the legend of the Desolate Volcano. You two have the talent to summon four arms, and you even have two hammers specifically for dealing with melee enemies. So from the moment I stepped onto the stage, I never intended to fight you. I just wanted to make a high-profile appearance as [True Immortal Haoran]. According to the competition rules, I delivered the final blow, so I defeated [True Immortal Haoran]. Since you defeated me, according to the competition mechanism, I got more points than you did for defeating me! My ranking is above yours!"

[Wild God] frowned and pondered for a moment, "Although I can't figure out who has the higher score, your move is indeed quite shameless! I'll let it slide since you're so confident—wait!"

[Wild God] stopped in his tracks, then knelt down with a thud, a horrific wound appearing on his chest!

At this moment, under the high-definition camera, everyone clearly saw the entire process of [Wild God] being injured.

The shadow of the [Wild God] suddenly stood up, then stabbed its master, and the [Wild God] fell to the ground!

Gongsun Shengxie, the Master of the School of Names, slowly stood up. "Great unity with small differences—this is called small unity with small differences. All things are both the same and different—this is called great unity with small differences. The art of the School of Names lies in using the small to achieve the great, seizing opportunities when they are weak! After your mental confrontation with the Immortal of Vastness, your mind must be weakened. At this time, manipulating your shadow with the technique of 'Reflecting a Snake in a Cup' will be as easy as turning one's hand! I will kill a god and an immortal with one hand, and I will become the third most powerful being besides the 'One Saint' and 'Half a Child of Heaven'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Shengxie coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious!

At this moment, both inside and outside the stadium, there was complete silence.

No one would have thought that in the end, Gongsun Shengxie would win the battle between the god, the immortal, and the Daoist Lord!

No one would have imagined that someone could scheme to such an extent and be so shameless in order to win!

By betraying his teammates and seizing opportunities, Gongsun Shengxie calculated every step perfectly! This makes one admire his wisdom!

On the referee's stand, Li Si said calmly, "I told you long ago that the [Desolate God] wouldn't go far, but you didn't believe me. How about it? You were defeated by the weakest one, Gongsun Shengxie. A [Vast True Immortal] and a [Desolate God] lost so humiliatingly!"

Wang Jian looked at Gongsun Shengxie with great interest. "That kid from the Ming family is something else. Aside from being a cunning strategist, his scheming ability is truly strong, especially his shameless act of betraying his teammates. It reminds me of Qin Feng! If Qin Feng and Gongsun Shengxie were to fight, who would have a lower bottom line?"

Li Si said, "These two are incomparable. Neither of them has any bottom line, so what they can compare is their upper limit. Qin Feng's upper limit is enough to easily crush Gongsun Shengxie. Qin Feng will never chat with Gongsun Shengxie like [Wilderness God]. Qin Feng will only kill the other party in one go, and then finish him off and send him into the crematorium. Only after confirming that he has been completely reduced to ashes will Qin Feng perhaps pretend to cry a few times at the other person's grave as a form of conversation."

Inside the VIP box.

Hu Hai gritted his teeth in anger, "Brother! Gongsun Shengxie is a bastard! He betrayed his teammates and ambushed [Wilderness God], this kind of person doesn't deserve third place! He should be thrown out!"

Fusu glanced at his sister-in-law, his brother was jumping up and down in a frenzy, and Princess Huayang was stunned, but her eyes were full of worry.

Fusu remained silent. There was no way to reason with them about this. First of all, Gongsun Shengxie hadn't broken any rules. His "Cup of a Snake in the Cup" technique was a classic example of feigning interest in something but actually being one; it was a famous technique developed independently by a renowned master, a shadow assassination method. There was nothing more to say about that. Secondly, "Wild God" was a complete idiot; he couldn't even finish off his opponent properly! Look at "Heroic Immortal"—his entire body was cut up, yet he still managed to finish off his junior brother. That shows the importance of finishing off opponents in combat!

At that moment, an announcement rang out: "In the fourth decisive battle of the first stage, [Master Daoist] Gongsun Shengxie has emerged victorious! [Master Daoist], [Desolate God], and [Immortal of Vastness] have all been eliminated!"

"Phase one has ended. Congratulations to the three players, [胜天半子], [酒剑仙], and [一圣], for advancing to the second phase!"

"Based on the current player rankings and according to the competition rules, [Sword Immortal], as a player ranked lower in terms of strength, has the right to choose. You can select a skilled opponent for a final battle!"

"May I ask, [Sword Immortal], who would you like to choose as your opponent?"

At this moment, on the contestant's stage, [Sword Immortal] stood up and addressed the millions of spectators, speaking eloquently, "To be honest, I, [Sword Immortal], only reached the second stage by sheer luck. Now, I face two formidable opponents, neither [Half a Piece of Heaven's Victory] nor [One Saint] can defeat me!"

"However, we heroes can lose in strength, but we cannot lose in spirit! When we're out in the world, it's all about appearances! Especially for heroes like us!"

"Before I came here, I patted my heart and promised Miss Liu Rushi of the Red Pavilion that I would definitely challenge the number one master in the world and prove to her that I am the strongest man!"

"Now, the opportunity is before me!"

"Where is [Saint One]?! Come out and take your beating!"

The Drunken Sword Immortal let out a long howl, startling Qin Feng who was standing to the side. Qin Feng thought to himself, "Brother, are you drunk? This Saint is not human. Where did you get the guts to let him stand out and get beaten up?"

However, at this very moment, the atmosphere on and off the stage was electric.

At this moment, countless banners with the name "Sword Immortal" were flying everywhere below the stage!

Wang Xu, the "Sword Immortal," was already the number one playboy in Xianyang. Now, he has even made a bold statement, declaring that he is willing to challenge the number one beauty, Jinghong, for the sake of a beautiful woman. In an instant, in the hearts of all the women, the "Sword Immortal" became a god of courage, generosity, and perfection. Countless female cheerleaders for the "Sword Immortal" started dancing, and the loudspeakers shouted slogans loudly, causing the entire arena to reach its peak of excitement!

"All the heroes of the world are ruthless and vicious, but my brother alone drew his sword for love! He's so great! He's not just one person; he's the dream of all women!"

"All warriors in the world are madmen, none of them know what love is! Only my brother drew his sword for love! He beheaded the peerless 'One Saint,' and from then on, Xianyang only had my 'Love Saint' brother!"

"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for each other? It's so romantic, I can't help but cry!"

"I'd be willing to die right now to have a love with my brother that lasts forever!"

"..."

On the referee's stand, Wang Jian's expression became subtle. He muttered to himself, "This kid is really embarrassing me! How could I have such a grandson? How did Wang Ben, that good-for-nothing, raise his son! And Wang Li too, damn it, can't he control his brother? Sons are useless, grandsons are useless! If it weren't for the fact that my Wang family has so few descendants, I would really like to throw him out of the family register."

Li Si laughed heartily, "General Wang, what are you saying! Wang Xu is quite capable. Putting aside everything else, all the brothels and entertainment venues in Xianyang depend on your grandson Wang Xu for their livelihood! Without him, Qin would lose an unknown amount of tax revenue!"

Wang Jian glanced at Li Si, "Is it interesting for the dignified head of the Legalist school to laugh at an old man like me? Why don't you go and joke with Lord Wu'an?"

Upon hearing the mention of Lord Wu'an, Li Si's smile vanished. His face hardened, and he said, "Don't mention that fellow; I have absolutely no interest in him!"

I'm posting both 5700 and 8300 words together to avoid getting scolded. I'm just asking for your monthly votes!
