Chapter 733: Chapter 718: United Showdown
Almost when the Grand Elder of the Main Hall announced the start, the one hundred disciples immediately sprang into action.
“Brother Wang, I’m sorry, although we usually get along well, for the sake of competing for the last spot, I can only make a move against you!”
“Stop the nonsense, let’s see the truth under our hands, maybe you will be the one getting eliminated!”
In the area covered by the Dragon-locking Formation, numerous disciples began to engage in fierce battles, using their ultimate moves as soon as they started fighting.
Although their cultivation was suppressed to King-level, their combat experience and skills were still there, making them superior to ordinary martial artists at the same level.
Looking into the Dragon-locking Formation, disciples were locked in intense duels with each other.
Their various combat techniques were unleashed, causing the void to tremble violently, as if the world itself was about to collapse, making the scene blood-boiling and overwhelming, enticing to the heart.
The many disciples who came to watch were exclaiming, their faces filled with shock.
Truly, these were the top hundred disciples left from several selections within the Heavenly Palace, each of them an elite.
Their years of accumulation and immersion in martial arts were fully unleashed at this moment, initiating the most intense assaults on potential rivals around them.
Because at this moment, everyone knew.
Entering the Main Hall and becoming one of the Devilish Disciples, there were only two spots, and Xiao Ye had already secured one of them, leaving only one spot to be determined among the ninety-nine others.
Thus, apart from Xiao Ye, everyone was an opponent, and they had to defeat others to possibly win that last spot.
Xiao Ye stood in the center of the Dragon-locking Formation and suddenly chuckled bitterly.
The reason was simple, the ninety-nine disciples were fighting among themselves, and oddly, no one attacked him, making him the only idle one in the arena.
“Am I really that terrifying?” Xiao Ye shook his head and sighed.
It seemed that in this round of assessment, he could advance directly without making a move and secure one of the spots.
The onlooking disciples, Elders, and the Palace Master of the Taiyi Palace noticed this scene too and started laughing along.
For other disciples, this round was a ruthless competition, but for Xiao Ye, it seemed to be completely without pressure, allowing him to advance directly.
Soon, in the area of the Dragon-locking Formation, several disciples were blasted out, screaming as they fell from the formation and were eliminated.
The fierce battle continued, turning the scene into greater chaos, and still, no disciple dared to attack Xiao Ye.
It couldn’t be helped; Xiao Ye had defeated Jun Shitian at the same realm in that showdown, witnessed by many disciples; not attacking Xiao Ye was one thing, but attacking him might lead directly to elimination.
Obviously, no disciple wanted to step up and be eliminated, preferring to ignore Xiao Ye and focus on attacking the opponents next to them.
“Everybody, hold on, let me say something!”
Just then, the young man Fang Jie, carrying a long sabre, stepped forward and spoke loudly.
Embraced by King Martial Power, his voice exploded like thunder, instantly drowning out the noisy clamor of the arena.
Immediately, the ninety-three still fiercely fighting disciples of the Heavenly Palace stopped and turned to Fang Jie curiously.
“Everyone should understand that there are only two spots to enter the Main Hall, and with so many of us, it’s already insufficient, and having one already claimed reduces the share even more.”
“You all have come this far, I believe none of you want to give up this opportunity, right? No one wants to be eliminated, do you?” Fang Jie looked around and spoke.
His voice echoed in the arena, plunging the ninety-three Heavenly Palace disciples into silence.
Having come this far, who would want to give up this opportunity?
One of the spots was already claimed by Xiao Ye, and that was an unchangeable fact given Xiao Ye’s strength.
“Hm?” Xiao Ye slightly squinted his eyes, looking at Fang Jie.
He remembered this young man.
In the previous two rounds of assessment, he had given Xiao Ye several unfriendly glances.
Xiao Ye was not blind and had felt it, but he had ignored it at the time.
Now it seems, Fang Jie might be targeting him.
Indeed, just as Xiao Ye thought this, Fang Jie continued.
“As martial artists, we should defy the heavens and fight for our fate. Since the spots are insufficient, why can’t we fight for them ourselves?” Fang Jie’s voice turned ice cold.
Instantly, the ninety-three disciples shivered at his words and then thoughtfully looked towards Xiao Ye.
They had guessed what Fang Jie was about to say next.
The next moment, Fang Jie drew the long sabre from his back, and suddenly a ferocious suppression of King Martial Power surged, his sabre clearly a Royal Artifact!
“I suggest we join forces to defeat Xiao Ye first to secure the other spot, and then compete fairly for those two spots among ourselves, which would be the fairest for us!” Fang Jie stared at Xiao Ye, a cold sneer on his face.
He was already unhappy with Xiao Ye, having wanted to surpass him to catch the Holy Palace Master’s eye.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ye’s flawless performance in the previous rounds left him no chance to overpower Xiao Ye.
In the final small round assessing each disciple’s strength, he had completely lost any chance to surpass Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye’s strength was well-known, even Jun Shitian, the top-ranked Devilish Disciple in the Main Hall, had been defeated by him, let alone them.
Thus, only by uniting all the disciples to attack together could they potentially eliminate Xiao Ye.
After all, the final round of assessment was a melee type, even if several people teamed up to attack another disciple, the Grand Elder of the Main Hall wouldn’t say anything.
That’s why Fang Jie thought of this method to eliminate Xiao Ye.
You’re performing excellently?
Then I’ll just eliminate you directly, see how you can still be arrogant!
“Good, Brother Fang Jie is right, let’s first join forces to defeat Xiao Ye, secure the two spots completely, and then engage in a fair competition and duel!”
