Chapter 1278 - 1279: The Top Ten
The outcomes of other battlefields have also been decided.
Lu Niu, was defeated by the Earth Monarch.
Luo Kaiyang, was defeated by the Wood Monarch.
This shows that the strength of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth is terrifying, not weaker than the prodigies at the Feast of Wind and Cloud.
However, Lu Niu and Luo Kaiyang surrendered in time, so even though they lost, they are not severely injured and still have a chance to return.
Both of them, after a brief rest, return to the stage once more.
But now, on the nine battle platforms, the remaining contestants are all formidable. Besides the prodigies of Celestial Demon City, each one’s strength seems to surpass them. How can they fight?
Survival of the fittest, the further it goes, the harder it is to challenge, and now the pressure on both of them is immense.
Li Fei, though not on the list, had just soundly defeated the Fire Monarch, so it’s not possible to choose him as an opponent.
Moreover, having already lost once, if they lose again, the top ten at the Feast of Wind and Cloud will be beyond their reach.
Ultimately, after much consideration, Lu Niu chooses Su Mei’Er, as Su Mei’Er, being sixth at the Feast of Wind and Cloud, seems a bit weaker.
As for Luo Kaiyang, his gaze settles on Xiao Tianyu. Although Xiao Tianyu is also a dark horse, at only Divine Level Seventh Layer, he seems easier to deal with.
Even if Xiao Tianyu’s battles have been brilliant, Luo Kaiyang believes that here, Xiao Tianyu is still the weakest, and there’s a breakthrough point to be found. But then again, even if he defeats Xiao Tianyu, can he secure a spot in the top ten?
It can be said, it’s very difficult.
When Luo Kaiyang stepped onto the ninth platform, Xiao Tianyu opened his eyes, spirited, clearly having returned to peak condition.
"You shouldn’t have chosen me!" Xiao Tianyu looked at Luo Kaiyang, speaking calmly.
"Only by trying will we know!" Luo Kaiyang snorted coldly.
But in the next second, Xiao Tianyu made a domineering move, not even using a sword, his large hand reached towards the opponent, his bloodline roared, and a terrifying aura of suppression descended, causing Luo Kaiyang’s pupils to contract.
Luo Kaiyang raised his knife, slashing forward, creating a sky full of blade shadows, yet they were crushed by Xiao Tianyu’s large hand and instantly vanished into the void.
Luo Kaiyang’s attack reached the pinnacle, each slash seemed to split the sky, yet was powerless against Xiao Tianyu, whose Palm Seal descended like Mount Tai, indestructible.
Bang~
With a loud noise, Luo Kaiyang’s blade light once again turned to nothingness, as for his body, it was sent flying by Xiao Tianyu’s palm, spewing mouthfuls of blood, landing below the platform.
Defeated a second time, completely eliminated.
This battle, simple and direct, it can be said that Xiao Tianyu almost crushed Luo Kaiyang, causing many to have their pupils contract, the Divine Level Seventh Layer Xiao Tianyu, making them feel strengthened by opposition.
On the other side, it ended quickly as well, Lu Niu was defeated again, completely eliminated.
This makes many inwardly sigh, the previous eighth-ranked Lu Niu and ninth-ranked Luo Kaiyang couldn’t even break into the top ten.
As new talents emerge, if one doesn’t advance, they shall make way for future generations.
Henceforth, twelve people remain on the nine battle platforms: Demon Sword Zhan Tian, Zhuang Feiyan, Li Qingyun, Su Mei’Er, Yan Hai, Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, Jun Qianqiu, Mo Qingluan.
There are still three from Celestial Demon City remaining.
Adding it up, exactly twelve people.
Eliminate two more, and the top ten seats are secured.
However, without a doubt, the most displeased now is the Fang Family, with their representatives Lu Niu and Luo Kaiyang failing to enter the top ten, while Su Mei’Er, having severed ties with the Fang Family, no longer belongs to them.
As of now, the only one from the Fang Family is Demon Sword Zhan Tian.
Furthermore, Xiao Tianyu, who was expelled from the White Jade Tower by the Fang Family, still stands on the battle stage, which seems quite laughable.
Not only that, Xiao Tianyu crippled Fang Yue and severely injured Fang Hai.
Fang Hai even developed a heart demon, fearing the Feast of Wind and Cloud, not daring to battle.
Regretful?
It can be said, the Fang Family regrets immensely.
At this moment, on the battle platform, twelve people, each with terrifying strength, even with Xiao Tianyu’s performance in the recent battle, no one dares to underestimate him; indeed, none standing here are to be eliminated lightly.
Mo Qingluan, last year’s first, who hasn’t battled once from beginning to end, yet who dares to underestimate him?
It can be said, no one dares to challenge Mo Qingluan now.
Demon Sword Zhan Tian, Demon Heaven, Jun Qianqiu, these three, currently no one dares to challenge as well.
Earth Monarch, Wood Monarch, as the strongest two of the Five Great Demon Monarchs, are also quite troublesome.
Zhuang Feiyan, Su Mei’Er, Yan Hai, Li Qingyun, ranked highly in the previous edition, all are formidable.
The rising stars, Li Fei, Xiao Tianyu are also not to be ignored.
Thus analyzed, it seems all twelve can enter the top ten, but there are only ten spots, two must be eliminated.
At this moment, Demon Heaven steps towards the platform where Su Mei’Er stands; just now, Su Mei’Er defeated the Earth Monarch, he naturally wants to avenge this, making Su Mei’Er pay the price.
In an instant, Su Mei’’Er feels a tremendous demonic pressure on her shoulders, extremely terrifying, making her expression pale.
She even senses a cold killing intent from Demon Heaven, who intends to kill her.
Soon, under the gaze of many, Demon Heaven’s domineering demonic presence descends on Su Mei’Er’s platform, hair flying, with a chilling aura, the dreadful demonic power roaring wildly.
Demon Heaven, one of the Twin Beauties, currently the strongest in Celestial Demon City.
He chose Su Mei’Er, so Su Mei’Er’s fate will likely be dreadful.
Xiao Tianyu slightly frowns, he’s well aware that Su Mei’Er defeated the Wood Monarch just now for him.
At that time, he was still recovering Primordial Qi, then another icy killing intent spreads on Xiao Tianyu, locking onto the Fire Monarch.
Afterwards, he sends a message to Su Mei’Er: "If you’re overmatched, just surrender!"
"Are you worried about me?" Su Mei’Er’s beautiful eyes look at Xiao Tianyu, thinking, this guy doesn’t seem that annoying now.
She remembers before, in the White Jade Tower, Xiao Tianyu said she looked average, and she thought he was arrogant and a cad, but now, seeing his unmatched elegance, she naturally revises her opinion of him.
"I just don’t want to see you fall!" Xiao Tianyu communicates: "After all, you fought for me just now, making Demon Heaven bear a grudge!"
"Alright, I promise you!" Su Mei’Er smiles faintly at Xiao Tianyu, leaving him speechless, the next second, Su Mei’Er declares to Demon Heaven: "I surrender!"
Demon Heaven: "..."
Xiao Tianyu: "..."
The crowd: "..."
Everyone is speechless, looking at Su Mei’Er; the sixth at the Feast of Wind and Cloud, Su Mei’Er, concedes without a fight?
This...
"Demon Heaven, don’t look at me like that, it’s that guy who told me to surrender!" Su Mei’Er’s beautiful eyes glance at Xiao Tianyu, leaving him speechless, many would think Su Mei’Er and Xiao Tianyu are a pair.
Otherwise, why would Su Mei’Er be so obedient?
Subsequently, the calling elder speaks to Su Mei’Er: "Since you concede, step down, wait for a chance to return for the second time!"
"I can return now!" Su Mei’Er states, the calling elder nods.
According to the rules, as soon as one side concedes, the victor cannot act again, meaning Demon Heaven can’t act against Su Mei’Er now, on the contrary, Su Mei’Er can choose her opponent among them.
This shows that Demon Heaven has been played by Su Mei’Er.
Then, Su Mei’Er sends a message to Xiao Tianyu: "If just two more are eliminated, we can both enter the top ten!"
Xiao Tianyu naturally understands what Su Mei’Er means, as they both look at the Metal and Wood, the two Great Demon Monarchs; if these two are out, the top ten are set.
Su Mei’Er clearly implies, once they make a move, they should not give them a chance to return.
Then, Su Mei’Er continues to send a faint smile to Xiao Tianyu: "Could this be a tacit understanding?"
Xiao Tianyu: "..."
