Chapter 2678: Twin Evils? What a Lousy Name!
Under the blazing sun, the North and South Camps were brimming with a fierce atmosphere, exuding killing intent.
At this moment, all the participating sects had arrived, and the bloody contest officially commenced.
Five hundred participants emerged from the North and South Camps in succession, standing opposite each other in the middle. Although they hadn’t acted, their gazes clashed in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
A few esteemed elders from the Demon Race and Barbarian Tribe came to the center of the crowd and announced the competition rules to everyone.
Seize tags, with the number of opponent’s tags determining victory or defeat. Other than that, there are no restrictions.
Tags flew up, landing in front of each participant.
Carson Flores reached out and grabbed the tag in front of him, inspecting it. It was a metallic tag, engraved with formations on both sides. The difference was that the tags in the Demon Race camp were blue, while those in the Barbarian Tribe camp were black.
Once all tags were distributed, the leaders from various sects acted together, quickly causing a massive Light Gate to appear in the center of the North and South Camps.
"Once you enter the Light Gate, the battle begins. The competition lasts ten days, after which everyone will be ejected from the formation and return here."
"Good luck to everyone!"
Everyone lined up, with one team from the Demon Race and one from the Barbarian Tribe, forming two lines and heading into the gigantic Light Gate.
Carson Flores stood in the line, feeling calm, without the tension that usually comes before the killing.
Although Carson was just a Lower Grade Land Immortal, which was considered lower realm strength among all participants, he was fearless.
Even a Superior Grade Great Land Supreme Immortal couldn’t completely seal the space and crush Carson. That was impossible.
After Carson advanced to a Great Land Immortal, the power of the Ethereal Pagoda had increased significantly.
Faced with a Great Land Prime Immortal, it might be challenging and a difficult escape, but a Great Land Immortal? No fear at all!
If he couldn’t win, he’d just run!
With Carefree Wander, Five Elements Escape Technique, Ethereal Pagoda, Doppelganger Divine Ability, etc., escaping would be easy!
Walking into the Light Gate, Carson’s vision blurred, his body suddenly sank, and he found himself on the island of the blood contest.
Carson looked up at the sun and quickly determined his direction, heading toward the meeting point he and his two companions had set.
The Illusory Snake Sect’s meeting point was in the southeast of the entire island, in a relatively secluded basin. The three of them had studied the map and placed the meeting point right in the center.
Yes, the dangerous center.
Carson planned to rush there early, set up a formation, and then guard it. Whoever came would be dealt with!
With high fault tolerance against a Great Land Immortal, Carson felt confident. Even if the plan failed, as long as the three of them met, they could always retreat and find another place.
The blood contest had been held numerous times, and the island’s map was very detailed. Following the iconic peaks or basins, Carson sped swiftly towards the center.
All five hundred participants had now entered the island and were scattered randomly. Carson was lucky and wasn’t far from the center of the island.
In just an hour, Carson reached the island’s center and found the cloud-piercing peak marked on the map.
Carson began to scout around, searching for a suitable location to set up a formation as instructed by Ilvarion Arnold.
Having just circled for a while, Carson suddenly felt something, turned his head, and saw two streaks of golden light approaching rapidly from afar.
Carson focused and furrowed his brows slightly.
The newcomers were two Barbarian Tribe members, and they were enemies!
Carson hesitated for a moment, deciding to observe the situation first.
The two Barbarian Tribe members were clearly targeting Carson. After approaching, they encircled him from both sides, one in front and one behind.
"Heh, kid, did you think you could come to the central area just like that? It’s your first time participating in the blood contest, right? Didn’t your sect seniors teach you that the central area has the most people and is the most dangerous?"
The Barbarian Tribe’s men were naturally burly, with adult males standing at least two meters tall, sometimes reaching two meters six or seven. With bodies like iron towers, they had the standard warrior physique, exuding immense pressure.
Thankfully, I’m flying, or else wouldn’t I have to look up to talk to you?
Carson mumbled inwardly and casually replied, "It is my first time, so I’m not too familiar. Should I leave?"
"Leave?"
One of the Barbarian warriors grinned with a rough and domineering smile, wielding a giant blood-red battle axe: "Since you’ve met us, the Twin Evils, you only have your bad luck to blame. Next time, be smarter in your next life!"
Twin Evils?
Carson shrugged. What an awful name. Don’t you know that names with ’Twin Evils’ are usually minor characters who meet their ends quickly?
Carson glanced at the tags hanging on their chests and noticed that the projection array had already been activated, frowning slightly.
He’s definitely being watched right now.
Should he retreat now?
Carson hesitated for a moment but abandoned the idea.
The Phenomenon Seed and his Sword Bone couldn’t be hidden from the eyes of top-tier leaders, so why not use them?
His Five Elements Path Crystal had formed, and he hadn’t truly tested its power yet!
