Chapter 82

Disadvantage and Defeat

At this moment, the atmosphere in the plaza was exceptionally solemn. Everyone stared unblinkingly at the two figures clashing on the remaining two stone platforms in the plaza.

Following the elimination of Zhuo Meixue and Zhuo Rong, the situation on the Zhuo Family's side had become extremely uncertain. Even though Zhuowen had won the battle without a fight, this point could not change the fact that the Zhuo Family was in a disadvantageous position.

At this moment, on the platform, Zhuo Meixue and Zhuo Rong lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at Zhuo Xiangding. Evidently, the two of them felt guilty about their previous defeat.

Zhuo Xiangding glanced at the two of them and softly sighed: "The two of you need not blame yourselves too much. After all, those two from the Wang Family are Nirvana stage practitioners. It is understandable that the two of you were not their match."

After hearing Zhuo Xiangding's words, the tension on the two's faces eased a little. However, they still stood at the back without saying a word.

Ignoring the two's reactions, Zhuo Xiangding glanced at the solemn looking youth beside him. Then, he gently patted the youth's shoulder and said: "Zhuowen, it seems like the heavens are not helping our Zhuo Family in this battle for the marketplace. You need not worry too much."

"Zhuo Tian will not be able to hold on any longer. He will definitely be defeated within ten moves."

Zhuowen did not respond to Zhuo Xiangding's words. Instead, his eyes flickered as he stared at the two figures clashing on the stone platforms in the plaza.

Bang!

On the stone platform on the left, a figure flew backwards in a somewhat miserable manner. His body forcefully flipped in midair and barely managed to stop at the edge of the stone platform. There were two deep depressions on the ground in front of him.

"You must be Zhuo Tian!

Don't tell me you still can't see the difference between us?

Now, I will give you a chance to surrender. Otherwise, I will not be responsible if I cripple you later. "

Wang Meng's bull-like figure gradually appeared in front of Zhuo Tian's eyes.

Zhuo Tian looked at Wang Meng indifferently and retorted somewhat mockingly, "Do you really think I'm a fool? Do you really think I don't know what you're planning? Now, I can tell you clearly that there's no way I'll surrender."

"Oh?

What a tough bone. I wonder if you will still say such words when I cripple you later? "Wang Meng narrowed his eyes as a faint killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

As the two of them conversed, origin energy surged out like waves from another stone platform. A muffled groan resounded, and then a figure was blasted flying while spitting out blood.

"Zhuo Family's Zhuo Xiang 'er wins!"

As soon as this voice resounded, the square suddenly became a little uproar. Obviously, many people did not expect the Zhuo Family to win another round. Now that the score of the two families was tied, the key round fell on Zhuo Tian.

"Not bad. That brat Wang Yi actually lost to the little girl from the Zhuo Family. But from this, it seems that the key round falls on the two of us." Wang Meng licked his lips and looked at Zhuo Tian with scarlet eyes.

As he spoke, Wang Meng spread out his hands with his palms facing up. Then, he slowly danced in front of his body in a strange pattern, as if he was fiddling with waves.

In this dance, traces of bone-chilling cold condensed in his palms. In an instant, his hands suddenly turned into a strange icy blue color.

"Nine Overlapping Wave Palm!"

A low roar was emitted from his throat. Following which, his palms suddenly struck out like endless waves. Surging Yuan Power also surged out from his palms.

Crash!

As soon as his palms struck out, the area ten miles in front of Wang Meng turned into an endless ocean. In the depths of the ocean, waves like ancient fierce beasts surged toward Zhuo Tian one after another. The violent sound of the tsunami was deafening in the whole square.

The Nine Overlapping Wave Palm that Wang Meng used at this time was more powerful than Zhuowen's. Obviously, he had been immersed in this armor technique for a long time.

When Wang Meng used this move, the faces of the Zhuo Family members suddenly turned ugly. Many of them could feel how powerful Wang Meng's move was. Even if Zhuo Tian's cultivation had reached the peak of Nirvana Realm, it would be difficult for him to resist this move.

"It seems that our Zhuo Family will lose this time."

As the strongest person in the Zhuo Family, Zhuo Xiangding could naturally feel that the power of Wang Meng's palm was far beyond his strength. With Zhuo Tian's strength, it would be difficult for him to block Wang Meng's move.

If he wasn't careful, Zhuo Tian might even be killed by this attack.

"Father, with Tian 'er's strength, he will never be able to block this move. Hurry up and stop this fight!"

Zhuo Dingtian said anxiously. For the first time, a worried expression appeared on his cold face.

Looking at the anxious Zhuo Xiangding, Zhuo Xiangding sighed and said, "I know. I will send a message to Zhuo Tian to give up immediately. The disparity in strength is too great. There is no need for this fight."

As he said that, Zhuo Xiangding waved his sleeve with a solemn expression. Then, with the transmission of his Yuan Energy, he sent a message to Zhuo Tian, who was in the square.

However, Zhuo Tian shook his head slightly. His lips quivered a few times as he stared at Wang Meng with a determined gaze.

Zhuo Xiangding's face suddenly turned ugly. He slammed the table and said, "Zhuo Tian refuses to give up. He wants to continue fighting."

As soon as he said that, it caused an uproar among the disciples on the platform. Then, many of them looked at Zhuo Tian in disbelief.

No one had expected that the selfish Zhuo Tian would not back down in the face of Wang Meng. Even though he knew that Wang Meng was far stronger than him, he still did not have the slightest intention of backing down.

"Why is this child so silly? He is obviously not Wang Meng's match, but he refuses to give up." Zhuo Dingtian's face turned ugly, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

At this moment, the fluctuation of Yuan Energy in the square spread out like a tsunami. Wang Meng's body was surrounded by turbulent waves. He looked coldly at Zhuo Tian, who was in front of him. Wang Meng punched out his palms, and the surging Yuan Energy immediately turned into endless waves that whizzed towards Zhuo Tian.

"Hmph!"

Zhuo Tian snorted. The dense Nirvana Golden Robe appeared on the surface of his body, and he looked firmly at the surging waves.

"Zhuo Wen is not the only one in the Zhuo family. There is also me, Zhuo Tian. If Zhuo Wen can do it, I, Zhuo Tian, can naturally do it too." Zhuo Tian's eyes were filled with determination as he looked at the tall figure on the platform again.

He did not know when the existence that he used to look down on now needed him to look up to. He did not want to be overshadowed by this figure forever. He wanted to prove to everyone in the Zhuo Family that he, Zhuo Tian, was not inferior to Zhuowen in terms of cultivation, but his willpower was not inferior to Zhuowen's.

Zhuo Tian looked deeply at the figure, and his lips moved. Then, he turned around and rushed towards Wang Meng like a moth darting into a flame.

Zhuo Tian's action immediately caused an uproar in the crowd. Zhuo Tian, who was only at the peak of the Nirvana Stage, actually dared to face Wang Meng's attack head-on.

On the platform, Zhuowen's eyes flickered as he looked at the figure darting towards Wang Meng like a moth darting into a flame. Zhuo Tian's voice resounded in his mind.

"Zhuowen, if I die in this battle, our grudges will be written off. I know that with your talent, you will definitely be able to inherit the Patriarch's position in the family. I hope that my father will not be implicated in this grudge. It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. Anyway, these are my last words!"

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, Zhuo Tian was like a god descending from the heavens as he ferociously broke through the first three waves. Powerful ripples of elemental energy spread out in all directions, causing even the stone platform to shake unsteadily.

Zhuo Tian, who was only at the Nirvana Stage, was actually able to break through the third wave of Wang Meng's Nine Overlapping Waves Palm. Many of the spectators were in disbelief.

"It seems like Zhuo Tian from the Zhuo Family is not to be underestimated. He is actually able to face Wang Meng head-on."

"Zhuo Tian used to be the strongest person in the Zhuo Family. However, Zhuowen's sudden rise caused the title to change hands."

"Zhuo Tian is not weak. It's just that Zhuowen's brilliance is too dazzling, so we didn't notice him.

However, even if Zhuo Tian goes all out, he won't be a match for Wang Meng. This is his final struggle! "

Sounds of discussion rang out as many people looked at Zhuo Tian's figure with some pity in their eyes …

"Since you are courting death, I will fulfill your wish!"

A murderous intent flashed across Wang Meng's eyes. Immediately after, he blasted out with both of his palms. Another five waves whizzed towards Zhuo Tian with monstrous momentum.

Crack!

A clear sound immediately resounded in the arena. Soon after, everyone saw the Nirvana Golden Robe on Zhuo Tian's body crumbling inch by inch under this attack. Zhuo Tian spat out a mouthful of blood as he whizzed out of the stone stage.

However, what no one expected was that the instant Zhuo Tian flew backwards, a blood-colored light shot out from his fingertip and headed straight for Wang Meng.

A sense of danger rose in Wang Meng's heart. He suddenly tilted his body and a blood-red light pierced through his shoulder. Fresh blood flowed down from his shoulder.

With a flip of his hand, a sharp blood arrow appeared in his palm. At this moment, there were still traces of blood on the surface of the blood arrow.

Looking at the blood arrow in his palm, Wang Meng immediately felt a chill in his heart. If he had not been vigilant and dodged in time, the blood arrow might have pierced his heart. This blood arrow was clearly Zhuo Tian's final trump card.

"You are courting death!"

A trace of blood-red killing intent slowly rose in Wang Meng's eyes. This was the first time in many years that he felt a trace of fear of death. If he had not pulled back in time, it was very likely that he would have died here.

"Today, I want you to die!"

Wang Meng roared to the sky and pushed out his palms. The endless ocean under his feet gathered into a huge water dragon that was a few hundred feet long. The water dragon roared and pounced on Zhuo Tian.

If Zhuo Tian were to be hit by the water dragon, he would definitely die.

"Tian 'er!"

Zhuo Dingtian's eyes turned red. In a flash, he flew toward the arena. Zhuo Tian was his life's hope and he wouldn't let anything happen to him.

Soon, a figure stopped him. When he looked up, he saw that it was Wang Yuanxing. At this moment, Wang Yuanxing said condescendingly, "Is the Zhuo Family trying to break the rules of the battle in the marketplace? Even the elders are interfering in this matter."

"Wang Yuanxing, you old man. This time, the Zhuo Family admits defeat. Hurry up and stop Wang Meng's attack." Zhuo Dingtian's eyes were red and he was breathing heavily as he shouted.

"Zhuo Tian didn't give up. Naturally, it doesn't count as admitting defeat."

Wang Yuanxing said indifferently. He was furious when he saw that Wang Meng was injured by Zhuo Tian's hidden weapon. At this moment, he naturally wanted to kill Zhuo Tian.

While the two of them were talking, the water dragon in the arena had already swallowed Zhuo Tian. However, at the moment when the water dragon was about to swallow Zhuo Tian, a skinny figure flew out from the platform and stood in front of Zhuo Tian to protect him.

Then, everyone saw a scarlet ape's shadow appear on the stone platform. The ape's shadow threw a punch at the water dragon. With a shrill cry, the water dragon exploded under the ape's punch and turned into countless water droplets that splattered on the arena.

When the water vapor dissipated, a tall figure appeared in front of everyone. When the crowd saw the figure, they couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
