Chapter 1739
Chapter 1739
The group of eleven people were already prepared to fight to the death, but the sudden unforeseen event caused them to be stunned. They stood there as if they had been struck dumb.
Those weapons all turned around. None of them attacked them. Instead, they pierced into their companions' bodies.
The most important thing was that everyone's thoughts were surprisingly the same.
They wanted to kill Zi Chen and kill the others.
Even if this person was their sworn brother.
Zi Chen's expression was calm. He had seen such a scene many years ago. He had also personally felt his heart being pierced.
Back then, it was only because of a 055-year-old snow ginseng.
The weapons pierced into their chests. The energy vibrated. In an instant, more than ten people died.
These people's expressions became crazy. They no longer suppressed themselves.
A trace of coldness suddenly appeared on Zi Chen's calm face.
In a flash, a weapon appeared in his hand. It was a sheathed black saber.
Swoosh.
Without any hesitation, he pulled out the saber.
As soon as everyone's weapons pierced into their opponents' bodies, nine blended saber lights appeared and swept forward.
This was the black saber that Zi Chen had re-condensed. Its quality had reached second-class. It was only a little bit away from a first-class dragon-shaped weapon.
Not only were there seven-color dragon materials, but there were also black divine dragon bones. They were completely condensed and integrated into the saber.
Puff. Puff. Puff.
The saber light flashed. It was very sharp. Three people were directly beheaded. As for the others who were close to the saber light, they hurriedly blocked the saber and flew backward.
Kang Chen retreated quickly. At the same time, he shouted at Zi Chen, "Zi Chen, are you crazy? Ten people are enough."
Zi Chen's expression was cold. He didn't say anything. The seven-color saber returned to its sheath and slashed forward again.
This time, Zi Chen killed two people.
They were all real experts. They were all ranked in the top 60. Normally, it was impossible for Zi Chen to kill two of them with one strike.
The eleven people behind Zi Chen didn't understand Zi Chen's intention. But they didn't need to understand. They just needed to attack together with Zi Chen.
Swoosh.
A bolt of azure lightning shot out from between Dong Qing's eyebrows, heading straight for the few cultivators who didn't have enough time to retreat.
Man Shi followed closely behind, smashing down with his spiked club.
A golden figure wearing rainbow-colored armor turned into a ray of light and shot towards the people in front of him, starting to kill.
The Hidden Mist Shadow's body alternated between real and illusory as it rushed toward an injured person.
Immediately after, the others took action one after another. In the blink of an eye, the small room was shaking with boundless and terrifying energy.
A chaotic battle broke out.
"Crazy, Zi Chen has gone crazy. Everyone, get out of here first," Kang Chen shouted and ran out of the door.
They had already lost the initiative when they attacked their companions earlier. At this moment, facing Zi Chen's continuous attacks and the small room, they were caught off guard.
Everyone retreated one after another, leaving behind seventeen or eighteen corpses on the ground. There were also five injured people who couldn't escape.
"What's going on?" Man Shi and the others looked at Zi Chen in confusion.
It was obvious that he only needed to kill ten people. Why did Zi Chen still attack? It seemed that he wanted to kill everyone. What if they were united against the enemy?
From the beginning until now, Zi Chen's face was covered with frost. At this moment, looking at the five injured people, he said coldly, "Kill them."
"Ah." Everyone was stunned again.
"No, Zi Chen, don't kill us."
"We'll join you. We'll definitely obey you."
"You want to kill us. We were framed."
"…"
The five powerhouses' faces changed drastically, and they begged for mercy in horror.
Swoosh.
A bolt of azure lightning instantly split into two and rushed towards the two injured powerhouses.
Then, Shang Guan Hong slashed forward with her sword, and the powerful sword Qi directly crushed the head of one of them.
Puff.
A ray of golden light flashed in front of Jin Qingcheng and pointed at the chest of one of them. It instantly pierced through his chest and extinguished his vitality.
As for the last person, he died in the hands of Zi Chen.
There were twelve people in the group. Zi Chen and the three girls decisively attacked and killed the five injured people.
As for Man Shi and the others, they were still dumbfounded and confused.
After the battle, looking at the more than twenty corpses on the ground, Zi Chen was greatly relieved.
He might not be able to save everyone, but at least through this battle, he had minimized the number of deaths.
"Why?"
One of them looked at Zi Chen, and he couldn't understand Zi Chen's behavior.
"I just said that I'll only kill ten people. The next forty people will definitely be united against the enemy. Even if they're disloyal, at least they'll be considered as a fighting force."
Looking at the corpses on the ground, they couldn't understand Zi Chen's behavior.
Zi Chen looked ahead and was in a state of alert. He said faintly, "They've completely lost their minds. If we continue to fight among ourselves, they'll attack us. If we're united against the enemy and don't trust each other, the strength they'll show may not be able to help us out."
Their combat strength wasn't weak, but their realms were too low.
Once the two sides were in a hostile state, they wouldn't have any advantage at all.
Jin Qingcheng said coldly, "If we don't kill them now, we'll be killed later. If the two sides fight, we'll definitely lose. Zi Chen is exhausting them to the maximum. The real battle is coming."
It was indeed a fierce battle. There were seven dragon-shaped weapons on the other side.
Zi Chen said, "We have to kill them to be safe. Even if it's a group battle, we'll be stronger than those scattered sand. Next, it's time to test us. There may be casualties, but if we cooperate closely, the casualties will be minimized. Remember, this is an order."
After so many years, everyone was used to Zi Chen giving orders. They nodded without hesitation.
"There are still fifteen of them left. The seven dragon-shaped weapons must be in the hands of the seven Soul-devouring Clan. Destiny, summon your energy bodies to resist the attacks."
"The battlefield is in this room. They'll definitely rush in. Man Shi, transform and resist the attacks for everyone. The rest of you, cooperate fully."
"Remember, this is a battle of life and death. Don't be careless. Moreover, this battle is mainly about defense, not merit."
Destiny looked at Zi Chen and asked, "Are we going to kill everyone? What about Zang Yongsi?"
Everyone knew that Zang Yongsi had a good relationship with Zi Chen. Moreover, Zi Chen was indebted to him.
Back then, it was Zang Yongsi who protected Zi Chen when he intimidated the other forces. Everyone found out later.
Zi Chen said in a deep voice, "He's no longer the Zang Yongsi of the past. When you see him, attack with all your might. Don't hold back."
If he held back, he might get himself killed.
Zang Yongsi no longer trusted him. At this moment, they were enemies.
…
…
"Damn it. What a good plan," Ye Ming could not help but curse secretly as he led everyone out.
He was wrong. It was a mistake to leave Zi Chen alive back then. He should have killed him with all his might.
However, it was clearly too late now.
Ye Ming also did not expect that Zi Chen, who had always appeared to be kind and weak, would suddenly attack.
Actually, this was not difficult to guess. After Zi Chen saw that there was no hope of protecting everyone, he naturally wanted to protect the people in his team.
The only way to protect them was to kill all of them.
The number of years Zi Chen had lived, the number of battles he had fought, the number of schemes he had seen, and the number of people he had killed, Ye Ming could not catch up to him.
He had already calculated and guessed all kinds of situations.
"I underestimated Zi Chen. I didn't expect him to be so bold." Sydney's eyes flashed with coldness.
Zi Chen was actually taking a huge risk by doing this.
Because that voice said that he only wanted 95 people. If the 95 people were to fight against the other forces, the Imperial Sky Region would definitely suffer a great loss. They might all be killed.
However, if that voice allowed them to continue fighting, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to Zi Chen and the others.
In fact, Sydney and the others were already in a passive state.
Now that there were only 60 of them left, it was obvious that they had broken off their relationship with Zi Chen. However, if that voice that represented death asked them to deal with the cultivators from other regions, they would also attack.
Because they had no choice but to accept the rules of the dragon boat.
Therefore, no matter what, Zi Chen's attack was beneficial to them.
Now, the 60 of them were in a dilemma. They did not know if they should kill or continue to wait for the next development.
"Let's heal our injuries first." Ye Ming's expression was gloomy as he retreated.
Obviously, he chose to follow the rules again.
Or rather, he chose to be righteous and did not kill Zi Chen. Instead, he followed the instructions of the voice of death.
The same scene did not only happen in the Imperial Sky Region, but also in other regions.
It was far easier and faster than expected to advance from 05 to 95.
This was because the 05 powerhouses who survived in the end all thought that there would be a regional battle next. They suppressed the madness in their hearts and began to discuss the next battle.
They were thinking about which forces were weaker, which forces they should attack first, or which forces they should suddenly launch a sneak attack on.
However, during the process of discussion, the voice that represented death sounded again.
After the previous massacre, everyone did not have any psychological burden this time. They casually sent their weapons into the bodies of their companions beside them.
This was the choice and test of human nature.
Ever since everyone chose to give up for the first time, they had been giving up.
Or rather, after the dragon boat stopped for the first time, everyone chose to protect themselves. Therefore, in the following choice, they protected themselves again and again.
Therefore, the last ten died very quickly.
Even the Azure Sky Region was quickly separated. They had not participated in the battle yet, but all of them were very cold. They killed their companions almost without hesitation.
Their movements were very skillful. It was as if they had deduced such a scene many times in their minds.
In order to advance from 05 to 95, there should be 735 people left in the seven forces, but the actual number was less than 705.
This was because previously, everyone attacked their companions, and some of them even died together.
