?? The fastest
Wang Lingfeng?
Chen Cheng's heart moved slightly, and the fair-skinned young man who had just looked at him suddenly appeared in his mind.
"In short----"
Liu Yuling said, "When we draw lots later, if we draw Xiang Poji, Nie Yunshang, or Wang Lingfeng, it would be the best choice to just admit defeat."
"Anyway, there are nine people in the loser group, and there are still three spots up for grabs. Keeping Qingshan alive is better than anything else!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Gu Tan and Tan Chen both nodded silently, fully agreeing with Liu Yuling's statement.
Even Ji Jingyou, who was recovering from his breath adjustment in the distance, had a hint of recognition in his eyes.
Although he didn't want to admit defeat, he had to admit that once those three were drawn, simply admitting defeat was indeed the best choice.
To put it bluntly, the strength of those three people cannot be shaken at all. The others are holding their necks and accepting the challenge. Defeat is inevitable. If they end up dead or disabled, it will be too late to regret.
After a while, the drawing of lots began.
Arena No. 1, Gu Tan versus Xiang Poji.
In the fourth arena, Ji Jingyou vs. Xuanbei Sect is determined to be third on the list, Zhou Chu.
In the fifth arena, Tan Chen vs. Spirit Sword Sect is determined to be second on the list, Su Heng.
Arena No. 9, Chen Cheng versus Wang Lingfeng.
After seeing the final lottery results, both Ji Jingyou and Tan Chen frowned.
Gu Tan on the other hand smiled in relief, feeling relaxed, and went straight to the elder referee to abstain.
After a brief hesitation, Tan Chen also chose to abstain.
"Junior Brother Ji, Junior Brother Chen, what do you say?" Gu Tan came back.
Tan Chen returned directly to the viewing area. Although he was Moon Slave of Chen Cheng, on the surface, he still had to maintain a hostile relationship with Chen Cheng.
"I----I haven't thought about it yet----"
Ji Jingyou frowned, his eyes full of tangles, and said in a deep voice, "My opponent Su Heng is Spirit Sword Sect who is determined to be second on the list. I am not completely sure of defeating him, but if I just give up, I am not willing to accept it--maybe, I can win even if I fight hard--"
"To be on the safe side, it's better to abstain."
Gu Tan first looked at Ji Jingyou, then at Chen Cheng, sighed, and said, "I don't want to pour cold water on you. Junior Brother Ji, you were injured just now. If you have to fight, even if you have a 50% chance of winning, the risk is still 50%----"
"It's better to abstain directly and draw lots after entering the loser group. The chance of winning will definitely be higher."
"That makes sense----"
Ji Jingyou nodded, but there was obvious hesitation in his eyes.
However, at this moment, two other people approached the referee and directly chose to abstain.
Seeing this, Ji Jingyou let out a long sigh, then turned around and walked towards the elder referee.
Just after taking two steps, Ji Jingyou turned back and looked at Chen Cheng with some surprise.
At the same time, Gu Tan also looked at Chen Cheng, his eyes also full of surprise.
"Junior Brother Chen, aren't you going?" Gu Tan asked.
"Not going."
Chen Cheng said, "I plan to fight this battle."
"Ah!?"
Gu Tan and Ji Jingyou were both stunned on the spot, their faces full of disbelief, and they even doubted whether they heard it wrong.
"No - Junior Brother Chen, what are you thinking? Could it be that you have mistaken your opponent?"
Gu Tan looked worried and reminded urgently, "You got the No. 9 lottery! Your opponent is Wang Lingfeng! Fourteen-Aperture God-Forging Realm! Maybe there are other hidden cards! You must think clearly!"
"Senior Brother Gu, don't worry."
Chen Cheng said in a calm tone, "I know in my heart that we might give it a try in this battle."
"This----"
Gu Tan was completely stunned.
Ji Jingyou's eyes trembled slightly, and his tone was full of disbelief. "Senior Brother Chen, I believe you will never act recklessly----but----but this is too----too----"
Ji Jingyou His lips kept moving, but the second half of the sentence seemed to be blocked by something in his throat, and he couldn't come out.
Chen Cheng I wanted to explain it briefly.
But in the distance, the final urging voice of the referee elder came. "Is there anyone else who wants to abstain? If not, please each take the stage!"
"----and----and----and me!"
Ji Jingyou was extremely conflicted, but in the end he chose to abstain.
He walked towards the elder referee, and every step he took was extremely difficult, as if his legs were wrapped in mud and filled with molten iron.
There is no doubt that he is unwilling in his heart, and there are even cracks in his martial arts heart.
He didn't want to think about it, but many things still poured into his mind involuntarily.
As early as Yunlei Prefecture, his Ji Jingyou was better than Chen Cheng in all aspects. Even at the beginning, he didn't even consider Chen
Take it seriously.
After coming to the Northern Emperor Demon-Subduing Sect, he Ji Jingyou became the beloved disciple of the sect leader. Not only did he receive many initiations and transfers, but he also received sufficient high-level resources! Not only did the sect leader teach by words and deeds, he also had high-level Profound Sword Ice Ripple in hand, and even had special elixirs to increase his combat power!
Before today, he had always believed that he was strong enough to become the face of the younger generation of the Northern Emperor Demon-Subduing Sect, strong enough to make a splash in this competition!
However.
Everything he owned, everything he gained, everything he thought about - everything completely collapsed from the moment he took the step of giving up.
Looking back at Chen Cheng, there is no superior Root Bone like him Ji Jingyou, nor does he have the family background and sect of Ji Jingyou. There is no one to initiate and teach the skills, there are not enough high-level resources, and there is no guidance from the sect leader or the aid of elixirs----
But what's the result?
Ji Jingyou, who had everything, chose to abstain.
Chen Cheng, who had nothing, drew a stronger opponent, but chose to challenge!
Why is this happening!?
Why!?
Why is this!?
Ji Jingyou As I was walking, I suddenly felt dizzy and tinnitus, my vision went dark, my feet felt weak, and I fainted directly to the ground, unconscious.
"Junior Brother Ji!"
Gu Tan and Chen Cheng walked over quickly, and after careful inspection, they relaxed a little.
"It's the fire that attacks the heart."
Gu Tan said, "Fortunately, Junior Brother Ji just took the Profound Realm wound medicine, and the effect of the medicine is still there, protecting his heart and allowing him to sleep for a while. He will be fine when he wakes up."
"Well--
Chen Cheng nodded. "Senior Brother Lao Gu will send him back."
"Junior Brother Chen is too polite."
Gu Tan shook his head slightly and said sternly, "Although I don't know why you refuse to abstain, I still hope you can be more careful and admit defeat as soon as possible if something goes wrong. Never -- never show off!"
"Understood! Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for reminding me!"
Chen Cheng clasped his fists, then turned around and walked towards Arena No. 9.
At the same time, many people's eyes fell on Ji Jingyou.
Someone sneered and joked, "What's going on? Lord Northern Emperor Sect's beloved disciple was frightened and fainted by his opponent?"
Someone carefully analyzed. "Ji Jingyou may have been seriously injured in the battle just now, and he is completely unable to suppress it at this moment----In this case, he will not be able to fight in the loser group battle----"
"In this way, Northern Emperor Demon-Subduing Sect will only have one single seedling left this round----"
As he spoke, the eyes of everyone around him turned to Chen Cheng.
Wang Lingfeng is already standing on the ninth stage, looking down at Chen Cheng with a rather complicated look in his eyes.
Li Miaoyuan, Zhou Tianwu, Chang Yuqing and Three Sects' Rising Stars all stood up from their chairs, their eyes following the figure of Chen Cheng, moving towards the No. 9 arena little by little.
Zhao Keqian frowned, and his eyes seemed a little angry. He had just found Chen Cheng in person, and he kindly gave some advice with the original intention of forming a good relationship, but now it seems that Chen Cheng didn't listen at all!
Xiang Poji, Zhou Chu and Xuanbei Sect, Nie Yunshang, Su Heng and Spirit Sword Sect all looked at Chen Cheng.
Especially Nie Yunshang.
She had her eyes closed the whole day and was in meditation. It was only at this moment that she opened her beautiful eyes with cold and lively waves.
She has a beautiful face, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her nose is like jade, and her skin is as cold and white as jade, glowing with a clear luster in the sun.
This opening of her eyes was like a magical touch, which instantly brought her whole body's beauty to another level.
And at this moment, when she looked at Chen Cheng, there was a clear flash of expression in the depths of her cold and bright eyes, as if a silverbait passed under the ice and disappeared in a flash, extremely agile.
"Senior Sister Nie----"
Su Heng bowed slightly and asked respectfully, "Did you notice anything?"
Nie Yunshang said nothing and just continued to look at Chen Cheng. That cold and extremely smart gaze seemed to have some kind of supernatural power that could completely penetrate Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng seemed to be aware of it. Before entering the ring, he looked back and met Nie Yunshang's eyes.
After looking at each other for two breaths, Nie Yunshang closed her eyes again and fell into concentration. Her opponent had already abstained, and she did not need to take action in this round either.
Chen Cheng looked down.
Nie Yunshang was seen wearing a long cyan dress, which was extremely well-cut, making her chest even more spectacular, while her waist was tightly cinched, and her legs were slender and tied together.
There is an exquisite long sword about three feet long with a lapis lazuli handle and a sapphire scabbard across the leg. Viewed from a distance, it looks like a work of art.
Spirit Sword Sect is famous for his swordsmanship, and he dominates with his spiritual sword.
Chen Cheng You don't need to think about it to know that Nie Yunshang The long sword lying across his legs is absolutely extraordinary!
Chen Cheng himself also uses swords and practices kendo. When he sees a good sword, he can't help but take a second look at it and subconsciously compares it. Can his own Flame Qilin Sword rival it?
"Junior Brother Chen, everyone loves beauty, but don't forget, what are you here to do?"
Wang Lingfeng's voice came from the stage, clearly showing a bit of impatience, and a look of sullenness flashed through his eyes.
In Wang Lingfeng's opinion, with his own strength, he should win without a fight just like Xiang Poji and Nie Yunshang.
But well, Chen Cheng, this kid, not only did not abstain from voting, he actually dared to stop and linger over his beauty before taking the stage. I simply didn't want him to
Wang Lingfeng takes it seriously!
Originally, Wang Lingfeng had some appreciation for Chen Cheng.
But at this moment, Wang Lingfeng felt a little unhappy and planned to teach Chen Cheng a lesson!
"Sorry for keeping Senior Brother Wang waiting for so long."
Chen Cheng said sorry, but his steps were unhurried and steady, walking onto the ring step by step.
Wang Lingfeng's eyes became a little colder.
The moment Chen Cheng stepped onto the ring, Wang Lingfeng's figure rushed directly towards him.
In an instant.
Wang Lingfeng's figure seemed to disappear from Chen Cheng's sight, incredibly fast and unreasonably fast.
At the same time, most of the surrounding rising stars could not clearly see Wang Lingfeng's figure. They could only rely on the violent Qi Aura fluctuations to judge that Wang Lingfeng was still on the stage.
The leaders of each sect could see clearly, and the clearer they could see, the more surprised they were.
"I really didn't expect that----"
Zhou Tianwu exclaimed, "Wang Lingfeng, this kid, has always been quiet, but once he got the chance, he became such a blockbuster! Just with this Movement Method speed, he can firmly rank among the top three!"
"Yeah----"
Chang Yuqing was also amazed. "Judging from the Qi Aura fluctuations, he is in the mid-to-early stage of the Fourteen-Aperture God-Forging Realm, but the Movement Method he displays is extremely mysterious. It should be related to his opportunity. The speed he can burst out is comparable to the late stage of the Fourteenth Aperture, or even the peak!"
"Good boy----"
On the other side, He Lianbo grinned and said, "I, Divine Owl Sect, have become a real dragon this time! He is so hidden that I didn't notice it in advance. Otherwise, I will take him under my command no matter what!"
"This Movement Method----"
At the far end, Zhao Keqian's eyes flashed, and his tone was full of disbelief. "I'm afraid it's Divine Meridian Movement Art----and, it's Higher-Vehicle Divine Meridian Movement Art! Martial arts at this level are extremely rare, and it's extremely difficult to get started! If there is no one to teach you how to get started, then you are a genius with extraordinary talents!"
Just think of this.
Zhao Keqian never took his eyes away from Wang Lingfeng, and he even began to think about how to win over him in order to establish a good relationship with this genius in advance.
"You still won't admit defeat?"
On Arena No. 9, Wang Lingfeng's voice seemed to be coming from all directions at the same time, making it impossible for Chen Cheng to hear and identify his position.
Chen Cheng said nothing and just continued to stand where he was.
The next moment.
Wang Lingfeng completely lost his patience and almost disappeared, suddenly appearing behind Chen Cheng like a ghost.
I saw Wang Lingfeng pointing his fingers together into a knife, throwing away his arms, and slashing the arc of the knife from his fingertips, slashing towards Chen Cheng's neck at an extremely tricky angle.
Under the blessing of the unparalleled Qi Aura, Wang Lingfeng's hand knife is not inferior to the first-level or even second-level Profound Armament, and is enough to cut off the head of an ordinary low-level Martial Artist.
Moreover, with the support of Divine Meridian-level Movement Method, Wang Lingfeng continues to shuttle at extremely high speeds. It is not giving Chen Cheng a chance to admit defeat, but is taking advantage of the ever-increasing speed to take advantage of the situation to make moves to further enhance its lethality!
At this moment, the sharpness of the Wang Lingfeng hand knife was even comparable to the third-level Profound Armament!
From Wang Lingfeng's point of view, his speed is absolutely dominant, and Chen Cheng cannot avoid it! As long as he is hit, even if Chen Cheng has one or two
The Profound Armor body protection of the highest level will definitely be killed with one strike, without any suspense!
In fact, not only Wang Lingfeng, but at this moment, all the powerful people around who can clearly see the situation have the same judgment in their hearts, Chen Cheng will undoubtedly die!
Nie Yunshang suddenly opened her beautiful cold eyes - her eyes were filled with disappointment at first, but in the next moment, her eyes suddenly changed dramatically, and her look of surprise was like a fountain of surprise.
Immediately afterwards, as if the look of surprise was contagious, it quickly spread to the eyes of everyone who could see the situation clearly.
