"How embarrassing, hahaha. I never thought I'd see you so pathetic."
In the center of the Four Saints Palace, the familiar mocking voice made Zhang Zhiyun had narrowly escaped death, frown deeply.
He didn't know what methods the other party had used to allow his body, which had already separated from the Ancient Demon, to survive, but the other party's mocking attitude really annoyed him.
Is it funny to laugh at me?
"That's hilarious!" The usually enthusiastic and lively Zhang Xiaoyun laughed innocently, clapping her hands like a child. " Zhang Zhiyun, the direct descendant of the Celestial Master Mansion, has been the face of the Zhang Family since he was introduced. To maintain your prestige, we even made many preparations for you at the White Tiger Palace, and yet you lost to a little brat who has only been studying Daoism for five years?"
"I'm not as skilled as them, so I have nothing to say." Zhang Zhiyun turned his head and found that after leaving his body, he felt much clearer-headed than before. Many of his bloodthirsty negative emotions had subsided, and apart from the inconvenience in moving, he felt more relaxed than ever before. What was going on?
"Your skills are inferior. Ha, how can you be so frank? Do you think such frankness can hide your incompetence?" Zhang Xiaoyun said sinisterly.
"It's true I'm incompetent, but whether you're capable or not remains to be seen." Zhang Zhiyun sneered upon hearing this, "You're the leader of the Four Saints. If you lose, activating that will probably be more troublesome than if I lost the White Tiger Palace, right?"
"I lost?" Zhang Xiaoyun was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. "Are you kidding me?"
"Nothing is impossible," Zhang Zhiyun said calmly. " Chen Ying hasn't fully revealed her abilities yet. In this era, the art of formations can create endless possibilities. Why can't you accept defeat?"
"Okay, okay," Zhang Xiaoyun laughed even harder, "I'm looking forward to it. This kind of thing..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the results of the second match were announced on the big screen. The match, held at the Vermilion Bird Palace, pitted Yun Ke'er against Master Ziyue, and Yun Ke'er was quickly defeated.
This result didn't surprise anyone too much. After all, Master Ziyue was the leader of all the sorcerers in Jiangnan. If he had to put in a lot of effort even with his young disciples, it would be quite amusing.
Some might question whether the little girl let the water flow, but so what?
The people of Jiangnan earned their position through their own abilities. What business is it of yours whether they give you an opening or not? If you're not going to give them an opening, then why don't you attack them first?
So, compared to the thrilling reversal of the first match, the second match was so easy that the third match was announced before anyone could even react.
The initial surprise quickly dissipated as the third match began, and everyone perked up.
The competition at the Four Saints Palace was strange. The Celestial Master Mansion of Cloud Capital clearly had the upper hand, with tens of thousands of Four Saints Guard and hidden King Level experts. They were all trapped like turtles in a jar, with no room for resistance. If that was the case, why continue this so-called Celestial Master Trial?
And he seemed quite serious about it.
Any sorcerer with a modicum of intelligence could roughly guess that the trial of the Four Saints Palace definitely had a very special meaning, so the outcome of this trial was by no means simple.
So far, the Celestial Master Mansion has one win and one loss. Zhang Zhiyun, originally a candidate for the White Tiger Palace, unexpectedly lost to Shen Yuan, while in the Vermilion Bird Palace competition, the little girl from Jiangnan lost to Ziyue.
Attentive observers noticed that after Zhang Zhiyun lost, although the Celestial Master Mansion remained silent, the Four Saints Guard were noticeably more aggressive. Conversely, when Ziyue won against the little girl, the aura of the surrounding Four Saints Guard became significantly calmer.
This is most likely not a misperception, and it's highly probable that this trial is very important to the Celestial Master Mansion, and that the Celestial Master Mansion wants to win this trial.
Although they couldn't understand the meaning behind this, everyone began to focus on the outcome, and a question lingered in their minds: what would happen if the Celestial Master Mansion's Mansion lost?
Will this change the current dire situation?
This made them, who had no way to resist, concerned about the outcome of the competition, and the next match was clearly crucial.
The third match was between the Black Tortoise Palace, with White Plain, the representative of the Northern Lands, facing off against Murong Ziyi, a genius sorcerer from Cloud Capital who was almost on par with Zhang Zhiyun!
To be honest, this was the most promising match in everyone's eyes.
Because the next match is a foregone conclusion, it will be Chen Ying facing off against Zhang Xiaoyun, who previously pretended to be weak but actually strong. Based on Zhang Xiaoyun's previous performance, almost 99% of people are pessimistic about Chen Ying's chances of winning.
In comparison, although the odds of winning this match aren't that high, it gives the impression that there's something to fight for.
After all, even someone as strong as Zhang Zhiyun was taken down by Shen Yuan's scheme, wasn't he?
Everyone else had witnessed White Plain's skills during the competition: top-tier wind magic and top-tier physical skills. As a pure sorcerer, Murong Ziyi had a significant advantage over White Plain, who possessed close-combat abilities, in the relatively enclosed environment of the Black Tortoise Palace at such close range.
As the trial began, a white light flashed within the Black Tortoise Palace, and White Plain appeared in the palace.
"To be honest, I don't really want to face you." Murong Ziyi said coldly to White Plain.
White Plain looked at the other person, feeling somewhat curious, because she had not detected any trace of the so-called Ancient Demon in the other person's body.
During the short break, I had already obtained some information from the guild leader. It turned out that those terrifying insects were called Ancient Demon, a once-terrifying species that parasitized any object and possessed extremely frightening evolutionary abilities.
The Celestial Master Mansion is backed by Ancient Demon forces, so it's highly likely that the high-level combatants of the Celestial Master Mansion have already Fusion with the Ancient Demon.
If you still want to play, you need to think it through carefully.
After all, an immature Ancient Demon had almost crippled him before, so if he were to face an Ancient Demon that might have parasitized a human body for who knows how many years, his chances of winning would probably not be high.
So she was somewhat surprised when the other person said that.
"Do you think I'm not qualified to fight you?" White Plain asked, frowning.
Indeed, there was no trace of the Ancient Demon, and she felt no fear whatsoever. Could it be that a high-level Ancient Demon could conceal that terrifying aura?
"No," Murong Ziyi shook her head, "If it's a simple sorcerer, my chances of winning are actually much higher, but against someone like you whose physical skills are no less than those of Transcendent martial artist, it's very troublesome."
Do you find me troublesome?
White Plain frowned. What's going on with this guy?
Just as she was wondering, a monstrous surge of water shot into the sky, its deep roar causing the entire Black Tortoise Palace to tremble, which made White Plain even more puzzled.
Isn't this guy a lightning mage?
Based on both intelligence and the opponent's performance in the first stage, this guy was a thorough lightning mage.
I never expected him to be such a powerful water mage.
As she thought this, those watching the battle outside all looked on with utter astonishment.
The reason for their surprise was that they recognized the magic on Murong Ziyi's body.
"It's the Black Tortoise Spell!" Chen Baifeng couldn't help but exclaim, "I never thought I'd be able to see all Four Saints Spell one day!"
" Black Tortoise Spell." Chen Qing frowned deeply. What exactly did the Four Saints Sorcerer, the Four Saints Palace, and the Four Saints Guard want to do?
