Chapter 1187

Qiongqi Copper Sword

Cangjie stood up and announced in a clear voice, "The first round has ended. Now, we will proceed to the second round. The rules of the second round are also very simple. The winners will fight in pairs, and the losers will be eliminated. Because there are five people, one of them will definitely be given a bye."

The four great mansion masters of the Great Frame Mansion, the Great Han Mansion, the Great Tang Mansion and the Great Chu Mansion did not say anything. They stood numbly in their seats without making a sound. This was because practically all the geniuses from their four great manors had been eliminated in the first round. The remaining ones were basically the geniuses from the Great Zhou Mansion, the Great Qin Mansion and the Great Cang Mansion.

The Great Zhou Mansion's Zhou Bin and the Great Qin Mansion's Qin Xin naturally did not have any objections.

"Now, let's begin drawing lots. Only one person will be the champion of the Hero Gathering this time. Whoever wins will obtain the right to gather the map fragments from the prefecture that person belongs to."

After Cangjie finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and five light sticks flew out from his hand. Extremely intimidating light exploded from the eyes of the five people standing on the stage. One by one, they extended their right hands and received the exposed light sticks into their palms.

Zhuowen beckoned with his right hand and received a light stick. After flipping it over, he was astonished to discover that the light stick he had drawn was actually an empty stick. In other words, he was the one who had been given a bye this time.

"The five of you can reveal your light sticks. Among these five light sticks, one of them is an empty stick. Which one of you has obtained it?" Cangjie asked in an indifferent voice.

When these words were spoken, the gazes of quite a few people gathered on the five people below the stage. Being able to draw an empty stick was undoubtedly extremely good luck. After all, they did not need to fight this time. Being able to maintain their peak condition for the next battle was extremely beneficial to the five of them.

Zhuowen did not conceal anything. With a flip of his right hand, the light stick was brought out and he said, "The empty stick is in my hand."

Because of Zhuowen's action, the surrounding atmosphere also became quiet. Obviously, no one had expected that the lucky one to draw an empty lot would be the one with the lowest cultivation among the five, Zhuowen. Many people sighed at Zhuowen's good luck.

On the other hand, the other four geniuses in the arena looked straight ahead. They did not care that Zhuo Wen had drawn an empty lot. After all, Zhuo Wen's cultivation was at the peak of the Heavenly Master Realm. He posed no threat to the four of them. From the beginning, they had already ignored Zhuo Wen's existence.

Cangjie was stunned at first, but then he smiled and said, "Zhuowen, since you have drawn the blank lot, you can come down first!"

Zhuowen nodded his head and leaped down, returning to the Great Cang Manor's seat. As soon as he returned to his seat, Yao Zhesheng's mocking voice sounded out again, "Yo!

Your luck is pretty good. You were actually able to draw an empty lot. Looks like you can still stay in this Hero Assembly for a while. "

Zhuowen completely ignored Yao Zhesheng's sarcastic eyes. He walked past him, came to the corner of his seat, and stood quietly.

Cang Die, who was standing on the other side, walked to Zhuowen's side. With a sweet smile on her face, she said softly, "Zhuowen!

Your luck is pretty good. You were actually able to draw an empty lot. However, I think that even if you did not draw an empty lot, you should still be able to advance to the next battle, right? "

Hearing this, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at Cang Die. This woman's cultivation did not seem high, but her eyes revealed the brilliance of wisdom, which made Zhuowen's heart faintly raise a trace of vigilance. This Cang Die was not simple.

"How can Miss Cang Die be so sure?

I am only a peak Heavenly Venerate. How can I compete with those Emperor realm cultivators? "Zhuowen smiled faintly.

"Because you look too calm. There can only be two reasons why you can remain so calm while standing beside four Emperor realm geniuses. The first is that you are deliberately pretending, and the second is that you have a certain level of confidence. Confidence requires great strength to support it.

Moreover, I can't see any signs of you pretending. "Cang Die softly smiled.

Zhuowen glanced at Cang Die and said, "Perhaps."

At this moment, the four people on the stage had also revealed their respective glowing lots. The Great Qin Manor's Qin Lei against the Great Zhou Institute's Zhou Hui, and the Great Cang Manor's Cang Yang against the Great Zhou Institute's Zhou Chang.

When these matchups were revealed, Cang Jie frowned slightly. He did not expect Cang Yang to face Zhou Chang so early. Zhou Chang was the number one genius of the Great Zhou Institute and had entered the first layer Emperor realm a year earlier than Cang Yang. Moreover, it was said that Zhou Chang had previously been in seclusion in the Great Zhou Institute and had only recently emerged. No one knew how strong Zhou Chang was now.

Therefore, when he saw Cang Yang against Zhou Chang, Cang Jie's brows were tightly knitted together as a trace of ominous feeling rose in his heart.

Although he was worried about Cang Yang, Cang Jie also knew that since his opponent had already been decided, it naturally could not be casually changed.

Thinking of this, Cang Jie's right hand reached out into the void. Immediately, a terrifying mighty force burst out from his sleeve. This mighty force was very frightening. When it acted on the stage in the air, it immediately split the huge stage into two. The two stages quietly and magnificently floated a hundred meters in the air.

Swoosh swoosh!

Zhou Hui and Qin Lei leaped onto the stage on the left, while Zhou Chang and Cang Yang leaped onto the stage on the right. Four terrifying Emperor auras, like towering mountains, caused the surrounding atmosphere to immediately freeze. At the same time, the winds and clouds in the sky changed. Four Emperor Stars of different colors descended below and landed around the four figures. Four different types of star power diffused outwards, appearing very dazzling.

"Now, let the battle begin!"

Cang Jie said indifferently. Immediately, four terrifying yuan qi fluctuations burst out from the two stages. What followed was an intense collision. Every time Emperor realm cultivators clashed, the aftershocks would have a terrifying power that could shake the heavens and the earth. On the stage, when everyone saw the Emperor auras diffusing from the stage, their hearts trembled and their eyes were filled with reverence.

Qin Lei and Zhou Hui's cultivation and strength were about the same, so the two of them clashed fiercely. It was almost a head-on collision, and it was difficult to tell who had the upper hand. After dozens of rounds, both of them took out their respective Emperor weapons.

Qin Lei's weapon was a long golden spear that was about ten feet long. The tip of the golden spear was in the shape of a snake, and the body of the spear was covered with golden lines like a golden python. Zhou Hui's Emperor weapon was a large bronze bell. When he punched the surface of the bell, a deafening sound was produced. Moreover, the sound waves of the bell also had a terrifying offensive power.

Boom!

After taking out their Emperor weapons, the collision between Qin Lei and Zhou Hui became even more intense. The surging yuan qi fluctuations caused the stage under their feet to shake violently. Traces of cracks appeared on the surface of the stage, as if it would shatter at any time.

While Qin Lei and Zhou Hui were clashing fiercely, on the other stage, Zhou Chang and Cang Yang were facing each other. Cang Yang looked at Zhou Chang fearfully.

When Zhou Chang had broken through to the Emperor Realm, Cang Yang had only been a late-stage Heavenly Master. Now that a few years had passed, he naturally didn't believe that Zhou Chang hadn't improved at all. He even suspected that Zhou Chang had broken through to the Second Heaven Emperor Realm.

However, what puzzled him was that Zhou Chang's aura was still around First Level Emperor realm. This made Cang Yang hesitate.

Zhou Chang's hair was as black as ink, and his eyes were like stars. He had a tall nose and an imposing appearance. He was like a treasured sword that revealed its sharpness. He was like a rare dragon that only appeared once in a hundred years. Just by standing there quietly, he could involuntarily attract everyone's attention.

At this moment, Zhou Chang slowly walked over. His eyes flashed with sharpness as they fell on Cang Yang. He said indifferently, "Cang Yang, go ahead!"

Cang Yang frowned slightly and snorted coldly. He took a step forward and nine exploding golden stars surrounded his body. Then, Cang Yang whistled like a storm and instantly appeared in front of Zhou Chang. His right hand formed a claw and pressed down on the void. Suddenly, a violent wind blew and the nine exploding golden stars smashed down one after another like nine meteorites.

Zhou Chang's eyes were as calm as still water. He took a step forward and waved his right hand. Instantly, the nine bronze stars floating in the void behind him began to move in a strange trajectory, forming a huge bronze giant. The bronze giant punched out.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Cang Yang's nine exploding golden stars exploded into countless golden dust under the bronze giant's punch. Cang Yang's expression changed drastically and he took a few steps back.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! The bronze giant followed closely behind. Its fan-like hand descended from the sky and grabbed at Cang Yang again, trying to grab him.

Cang Yang's eyes turned cold. He flicked his finger and a snake-shaped halberd landed in his palm. Then, he twisted his right palm and the snake-shaped halberd shot out like a drill. The halberd pierced through the bronze giant's palm.

"Break!"

Cang Yang shouted in a low voice, and the great halberd in the shape of a snake burst out with a blazing green light. This green light turned into a huge green python, and this python stuck out its tongue and coiled around the bronze giant.

Crack!

The giant green python possessed an extremely terrifying entanglement ability. This entanglement ability possessed the strength of a thousand catties and it ruthlessly restrained the giant green python. Soon after, the sound of bones cracking was emitted. The bronze giant had actually been directly shattered by the giant green python's entanglement.

Swoosh!

When the bronze giant was crushed, the light in Cang Yang's eyes became even more intense. He took a step forward and the snake-shaped halberd landed in his palm. His entire body rushed out like a butterfly. The sharp whistling sound produced by the halberd rubbing against the air was ear-piercing.

Zhou Chang frowned slightly. Clearly, the destruction of the bronze giant was beyond his expectations. He snorted coldly. He knew that Cang Yang's snake-shaped halberd was a genuine Emperor weapon. If he did not use his Emperor weapon, he would be at a disadvantage.

With a flick of his finger, a bronze longsword appeared in Zhou Chang's right hand. The longsword was made of bronze. The bronze longsword's hilt was carved with the head of a strange beast. The strange beast opened its mouth as if it wanted to swallow the entire bronze sword.

"This is the Qiong Qi Bronze Sword. It has merged with a strand of the essence blood of the ancient fierce beast, Qiong Qi. It contains a strand of Qiong Qi's ferocious power. You will still lose!"
