Dao Xiaoyao nearly spat out blood after hearing Qin Chen’s words, and almost fell to the ground.
"Will you die if you don’t speak?"
Dao Xiaoyao glared at Qin Chen angrily and scolded him.
Qin Chen completely ignored her, turning his head and walking toward Mon Tianran and Huaa Ruoran instead.
Seeing her words ignored by Qin Chen, Dao Xiaoyao felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.
However, eventually, she gritted her teeth hatefully and followed Qin Chen.
As Qin Chen and Dao Xiaoyao were the last pair to enter,
especially since Qin Chen and Dao Xiaoyao had had a conflict with Hu Yanhao and Hua Run earlier, many people looked at them as they entered.
Right now, seeing Dao Xiaoyao scolding Qin Chen and Qin Chen simply turning away, and Dao Xiaoyao, frustrated, ultimately following him actively intrigued everyone greatly.
In many men’s hearts, three words arose.
Why would such a beautiful, strong woman be so utterly devoted to such a ’useless’ man?
This made all the men present roar inwardly.
Especially Hua Run and Hu Yanhao.
Both their eyes emitted fierce glints.
the previous clear voice sounded again.
"The first round of the assessment, a four-person battle, random number tags generated. Couples with the same number tag, please step up to the platform and fight until one partner admits defeat."
"Winning couples can then move on to the next round."
After the clear voice ended, Qin Chen found that, both on his hand and on that of Dao Xiaoyao next to him, a number tag had appeared out of nowhere. It had a large number on it.
Qin Chen glanced at the others,
and could see that everyone’s hands had similar tags appeared.
Each had a different number.
"A platform duel, huh?"
Qin Chen came to understand.
A four-person battle meant two versus two.
According to the voice’s instructions, this was only the first round.
To advance to the next round, one must win, meaning half of the competitors would be eliminated in this first round.
Qin Chen looked around at the other participants and roughly counted.
There were thirty-eight couples present, meaning that, ultimately, only nineteen couples could advance to the next, second round of the assessment.
It was indeed quite a strict and brutal situation.
"Please, the two couples holding the number one tag, come up to the platform and start your battle."
The clear voice rang out again.
And two couples could be seen walking onto the platform.
As they stepped onto the platform, their number tags also vanished immediately.
One of the couples was Hua Run and his female companion.
The other couple, seeing it was Hua Run and his partner, their faces immediately turned ugly.
They were merely from a Three-star Sect Force.
Encountering Hua Run right at the start was indeed bad luck.
"Do you give up yourselves, or should I disable you and throw you down?"
Hua Run looked playfully at the couple, his eyes full of disdain.
"Hua Run, don’t be so arrogant!"
Hearing Hua Run’s mocking words, the young man suddenly shouted.
Although Hua Run came from a notable background, he was not considered a strong figure within the Flying Star Sect.
Thus, hearing Hua Run’s mocking words, the young man could not hold back his anger.
"Not bad, much stronger than some,"
Hua Run’s lips curled into a thick, mocking smile as he glanced over at Qin Chen.
Dao Xiaoyao’s expression darkened, and he looked at Qin Chen, whose face remained unchanging, and thought to himself, "Hua Run, oh, Hua Run, you better not go too far."
"Since that’s the case, let me cripple your Cultivation and drive you away."
Hua Run looked at the young man and smiled coldly.
The young man’s face suddenly changed.
"It’s just a fighting match, isn’t this a bit too severe?"
Being crippled in Cultivation was akin to being dead, wasn’t it?
"Regretting now?" Hua Run’s lips curled up.
"When you were yelling at me earlier, did you consider the consequences?"
A devilish sneer appeared on Hua Run’s face.
A hand that covered the sky!
He immediately unleashed his Heavenly Pride Phenomenon and then exploded in full combat power.
He reached the level of Heavenly Origin Second Layer Late Stage.
He was a Combat Power Genius who could cross one and a half realms, his true Cultivation being at the Heavenly Origin First Layer Early Stage.
Hua Run roared, and his fist was enveloped in intense Fist Power that covered the entire arena.
In the arena, numerous Array Flags suddenly burst with obscure fluctuations. An Array that protected the arena immediately enveloped Hua Run and others within it.
Seeing Hua Run’s powerful attack, the young man’s face drastically changed.
Still, he and his female companion nodded at each other, both drew their swords, and with all their power, they striked at Hua Run; their Sword Qi ravaged the air, shattering it.
Both their combat powers were at the level of Heavenly Origin First Layer.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Hua Run coldly spat out four words and then punched down.
The powerful Sword Qi from the young man and his companion shattered under Hua Run’s fierce Fist Power, crumbling like tofu.
Eventually, both their bodies were sent flying a great distance.
Cough, cough, cough...
As they fell to the ground, they coughed up blood, their faces as pale as paper.
They lost; with a simple punch from Hua Run, they were defeated, beaten to a sorry state.
Just then, Hua Run sneered coldly, his figure suddenly moved, and he punched out as fast as lightning in front of the wide-eyed couple.
Both the young man and his companion let out a mournful scream, filled with immense despair.
However, Hua Run’s fist did not pause at all.
Hua Run’s fists directly exploded their Dantians, even taking out their Primordial Power Seeds.
In front of them, he mercilessly crushed them with a punch.
People around the arena, seeing the scene on stage, couldn’t help but look away.
These two, in love, wanted to step into a higher realm of Martial Arts together, to adventure through the world with swords.
Everything was shattered with Hua Run’s strike.
They were crippled, their Cultivation was crippled; from now on, even if they could leave the Forest Demon World alive, they would become the most ordinary mortals.
But, in this Forest Demon World, how could two mortals leave?
Clearly, they could not.
Thus, although Hua Run didn’t kill them, crippling their Cultivation was essentially the same as killing them.
On the stage, Hua Run seemed to thoroughly enjoy this moment, his face was full of a demon-like smile.
