Chapter 2168

If we're talking about those in the Sixth Sequence Sixth Sequence, the Scarlet Alliance State has a considerable number of them.

More importantly, with the mediation of the Sequence Committee, high- Sequence Holder from many provinces and cities have joined the committee, and while sharing the relevant interests, they have also begun to work together.

After five fierce battles and the removal of ten Sixth Sequence individuals, the Scarlet Alliance State still has no shortage of combat power.

"Barton dared not forcibly seize Naggs's sword; he was wary!"

"Barton's body is almost immune to blows; Zuo Lianguang's Eagle Claw Skill, which can penetrate metal and stone, can only break the skin on his face. How can this be overcome?"

"Nags is currently employing the same tactics as Zhou Xin; they're both waging a war of attrition!"

"Pasteur can hold off Montessler for now, but there's a reason he's ranked so low; he can't last long, and Naggs's attrition tactics are unlikely to be effective!"

Once a war of attrition begins, the fighting will not end in a short time.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran completed their spells, but the battle on the field continued.

He successfully inserted himself into the front row of the Scarlet Alliance State, found Zhang Manqian who was watching the battle, and listened to the opinions of many high- Sequence Holder.

The first round of competition mainly consisted of the elderly residents of the Old Age Mansion. Some of the Sequence Holder were difficult to match, so Zhou Rihui and Wang Haoran were selected to participate.

Currently, the remaining candidates for the 15-person shortlist are Qin Zhong, Jiang Ying, Zhen Wudi, Bi Daye, and Cai Guoli.

Zhang Xuezhou was not familiar with Qin Zhong, but he knew that the old man was Qin Wenhan's father, Jiang Ying was Jiang Feng's grandfather, Zhen Wudi was Zhen Mei's ancestor, and Bi Daye and Cai Guoli were elderly people from other provinces who lived in the old age mansion.

These five are the finalists, and they need to defeat their opponents as much as possible in order to win back the contracts they failed to sign in the first five rounds.

However, whether the five of them can go on the field and win does not depend on themselves, but on the outcome of the game. Only if the Naggs team defeats the Montesbatton team will they have a chance to go on the field and fight hard to win.

"Barton doesn't ignore impacts physically; rather, he excels at using gravity and deflection, especially against metal objects, which make him particularly vulnerable and significantly reduce the force of his strikes!"

Zhang Manqian was also baffled, so Zhang Xuezhou could only offer a brief explanation.

"Committee Member Zhou previously threw dung balls at Patton in the sea," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"A dung ball won't kill anyone, will it?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"If ten dung balls could be thrown, and one of them contained a bomb, Patton might have been hit. Unfortunately, the battle was too short to test this!"

"Well!"

"A mixture of truth and falsehood, reality and illusion—this is a fundamental condition necessary for subordinates to overthrow their superiors!"

Zhang Xuezhou murmured something.

Zhang Manqian's fighting style is still at the stage of pursuing absolute strength; she can only fight with real skill, not fake skill, and she has not yet reached the level of Zhang Xuezhou.

He looked intently at Montesbottom and could keenly sense that the other man's energy and spirit were already waning.

The Scarlet Alliance State's deployment of five groups in succession, even disregarding serious injuries, had a significant impact on Montesbatton.

Given these physical conditions, if Montesbatton wants to defeat Naggs, he will likely have to take a risk, otherwise the fight will end there.

And Jiang Ying was right. Pasteur could not hold Montessler's position for long, even if Montessler was injured. Nags lacked the time to push for attrition tactics.

Both sides are currently at a critical juncture, and whoever makes a mistake in the struggle is likely to suffer a crushing defeat.

"It's a pity Luo Tianming's body is ruined. If he could replace Wang Haoran, he would definitely be able to break through Barton's defenses!"

Is there any hope for Luo Tianming?

"Detoxification is not healing. Wounds can heal, but toxins cannot be removed. He brought this upon himself!"

Zhang Xuezhou read it aloud and looked towards the center of the arena. Montespatton's body was being pulled, allowing him to leap using gravity. The more complex the arena, the more agile the opponent would be in his leaping and traversing.

Naggs had transformed into a red figure, unleashing his full power just like when he was chasing Presenel.

But after nearly eight minutes of fighting, Naggs still hadn't managed to touch Montesbatton.

"If you were Nagos and wanted to use a combination of truth and falsehood, how would you do it?" Zhang Manqian asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xuezhou lives at home and appears peaceful to the point of being harmless, but only those close to Zhang Xuezhou know Zhang Xuezhou true abilities.

It could be said that Zhang Xuezhou had little experience in combat and lacked experience in dealing with various types of Sequence Holder, but Zhang Manqian was well aware that Zhang Xuezhou could win.

Starting with Wang Jiangtao several years ago, quite a few high- Sequence Holder have fallen victim to Zhang Xuezhou, some even suffering direct death.

By shifting from a defensive approach to a direct confrontation with Pei Jinghou, Zhang Xuezhou achieved a significant transformation.

This propelled Zhang Xuezhou's strength directly into the top tier of the Scarlet Alliance State.

Compared to Qin Zhong and others' judgments, Zhang Manqian felt that Zhang Xuezhou's judgment would undoubtedly be closer to the standard answer.

"I will prepare two swords, one to cut through steel, and the other for Patton," Zhang Xuezhou whispered.

"Should we target Steel Mill first?"

"You can only target Steel Hair after the fight has progressed to a certain stage!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the red light in the center of the field.

If Naggs's rise to a high position in the British Alliance State was solely due to the good fortune brought by the No. 1 Sinkhole, he would undoubtedly be inferior and would find it difficult to challenge those at higher levels.

However, Naggs' rise to power was filled with bloodshed and violence. His opponent was not only Lineage who had emerged from the chaos, but also a Fire Meteor being whose combat experience might even surpass that of Montesbatton.

Montesbatton's tricks and methods are likely to be seen through by Naggs, while Naggs' methods may be able to confuse Montesbatton.

Qin Zhong and the others did not have high hopes for Naggs, and seemed helpless against the Eighth Sequence of Montesbatton. However, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Naggs had a good chance of winning, and at this moment Naggs was probably concerned about the issue of physical injury.

"How long will this certain phase last?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"Three!"

Zhang Xuezhou quietly raised three fingers.

"Three minutes?" Zhang Manqian asked, puzzled.

"Two!"

"Two?"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou withdraw one of his three raised fingers, Zhang Manqian couldn't help but blink.

"One!"

Zhang Xuezhou's "3-2-1" is not three minutes, nor three seconds, nor an equal amount of time, but rather the time to control the corresponding rhythm of the battle.

As the countdown to the battle began, Zhang Manqian estimated the total time to be around seven seconds, though the duration of each number varied.

Her eyes widened as she looked towards the center of the field, only to see the red light that had inadvertently deviated slightly from the direction of chasing Montespatton.

The moment Zhang Xuezhou shouted "One!", Nags's greatsword lashed out as if from nowhere, striking Montes Steelham, who was locked in a fierce battle with Pasteur.

"How dare you!"

Montesbatton roared, and the silver staff he held made a sound like stirring up wind and thunder as it slammed down on Naggus, who was more than thirty meters away.

It must be said that this is indeed a rather awkward distance.

The shorter the distance, the faster the attack changes and the harder it is to defend against; the longer the distance, the longer the attack lasts, thus providing an opportunity to dodge.

Montess was dominating Pasteur, a fight Montessard didn't need to worry about; he only needed to hold Naggs back and minimize any potential interference.

During a chase on the field, they only get close unintentionally or uncontrollably; most of the time they stay away.

After several attempts to approach without any change, Montesbarton was surprised that Naggs would resort to a sneak attack this time.

Under normal circumstances, Montes Steel could withstand a heavy sword strike, but Montes Steel could not withstand Nagos's strange explosive sword.

Montesbarton hurled a long staff, aiming it at Nagos from afar. At the same time, he grabbed at Nagos's greatsword with his right hand, trying to deflect the menacing blade as much as possible.

"Whoosh!"

When a sharp whistling sound came, Montespatton's expression changed.

It seemed that Naggs had suddenly turned his attention to Montes Steel, but Montes Barton hadn't expected that the other side had only ever been targeting him.

That was Nagos's left-handed sword.

The sword was short, only about twenty centimeters long, with a thin blade and no hilt, hidden in Nagos' left sleeve.

This short sword is very fast, and it is launched purely by a spring mechanism.

This type of mechanical sword does not require two hands to operate, and it is silent when activated, making it difficult to defend against. However, it also has the major drawback of being difficult to break through the defenses of high- Sequence Holder.

But there is a groove on this short sword.

Inside the groove, a rhombus-shaped red crystal was simply concealed within the sword by four iron wires.

This caused a look of great horror to appear in Montespatton's eyes.

He used repulsive force to smash the flying stick with his left hand and gravity to grab the greatsword with his right hand; he had used both forces in a short moment.

When he had no choice but to rely on his own strength to kick the short sword, Montesbatton heard a loud 'boom' from under his feet, and red flames burst forth fiercely in an instant.
