Dragons roared as terrifying energies surrounded Ruo Xie. At the same time, Ruo Xie released sword energies and sealed the space around them. Then he released desolate energies which enveloped their bodies.
"Ruo Xie's desolate abstruse energy is already level seven. The cultivator from the Qi Clan is at the sixth Zun Qi layer and has level seven abstruse energy. The cultivator from Tian Long Divine Castle seems oppressed though. That's a difficult battle, but Ruo Xie maybe has some trump cards." thought Lin Feng.
He imagined what he would do in such a situation. What if Tian Long Divine Castle, the Qi Clan, the Church of Desire and the Si Kong Clan joined hands to fight against him. For him, the rules of the second round weren't very beneficial. What if he had to face cultivators of the eighth and ninth Zun Qi layers? It would be a nightmare, but luckily there weren't so many cultivators of the ninth Zun Qi layer.
"Roar!" dragons roared and red lights surrounded Ruo Xie. The cultivator from the Qi Clan was using empty space abstruse energy to wrap Ruo Xie up. He kept shaking his hands while performing hand seals.
"Brother Ruo Xie!" thought some people from Tiantai.
"Slash…" dazzling lights fell down as a sword with millions of changing forms appeared. Metallic ringing sounded as the sword moved towards the strong cultivator from the Qi Clan.
"Decay!" shouted Ruo Xie furiously. Decay energy surrounded that cultivator and he began to move slower. He wanted to use his Empty Space Agility Technique to run away, but Ruo Xie caught up with him and yelled, "Slow!"
Both the strong cultivators from Tian Long Divine Castle and the Qi Clan moved slower.
"Speed abstruse energies!"
Mu Feng was amazed by how excellent a fighter Ruo Xie was. At that moment, other people were fighting on the battle stage, but nobody else was joining hands because they were scared that someone could attack them by surprise.
"Brother, Ruo Xie won't last very long!" said someone to Mu Chen. Then, two weaker cultivators were killed on the battle stage.
"Things can change in a second. We can't predict the future." said Mu Chen indifferently. He couldn't say anything to stop Ruo Xie. Besides, if it was just those two, Ruo Xie wouldn't have too hard a time.
"Bzzz!" at that moment, the strong cultivator from the Si Kong Clan used his Celestial Vision on Ruo Xie, slowing him down as well.
"Haha, you're doomed!" shouted the strong cultivator from the Qi Clan furiously. However, at that moment another metallic ringing sounded, and then blood splashed.
"You…" said that cultivator, fixedly staring at Wen Ao Xue as hell fell over and died.
"Bzzz!" Wen Ao Xue's silhouette flickered as he threw himself at the cultivator from the Si Kong Clan. Even though that sword wasn't a holy weapon, it was powerful.
"Hmph!" Wen Ao Xue threw himself at the cultivator from the Si Kong Clan while Ruo Xie threw himself at the cultivator from Tian Long Divine Castle.
"Wen Ao Xue has become so strong. No wonder he's close to Wen Tian Ge and that they went to the shrine together. He can probably defeat cultivators at the top of the Zun Qi layer." thought Lin Feng.
"Ruo Xie will definitely qualify for the next round!" thought Lin Feng. As expected, the battle ended and Ruo Xie was qualified, but the strong cultivator from Tian Long Divine Castle was also qualified. Ruo Xie hadn't managed to kill him. However, Wen Ao Xue had managed to kill the strong cultivator from the Si Kong Clan.
"Second battle, who wants to fight?" asked Mu Chen, while nodding at Ruo Xie who was coming back.
The crowd remained silent. They didn't know who was going to come out. If Tian Long Divine Castle and the Qi Clan joined hands to fight against them, Wen Ao Xue wouldn't be there for them next time.
"I'm going." said a cultivator at the top of the fourth Zun Qi layer who had been recruited during the first part of the recruitment process.
"Alright, be careful!" said Mu Chen nodding at him. Very quickly, the referee started the second battle and a few seconds later, twenty-two people appeared on stage.
"Oh no!" thought Mu Chen. The Qi Clan had sent another cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer, his Qi was monstrously powerful. This was dangerous for Tiantai.
"Don't fight, give up!" shouted a loud voice coming from the group of people from Tiantai.
"Die!" shouted the cultivators from the Qi Clan. The cultivator from Tiantai, however, listened to Mu Chen and decided to jump off the stage.
"Boom!" the cultivator from Tiantai hurried, but then an explosion sounded. Empty space was blocking his way now.
"Break!" shouted the cultivator from Tiantai. The eyes of the cultivator from the Qi Clan were bloodshot. He suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing the cultivator from Tiantai, and raising him in the air.
"How strong, that cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer really wants to kill our cultivator!" thought some people from Tiantai.
They watched as the cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer slowly raised their fellow cultivator in the air. "Lacerate!" shouted the cultivator. The cultivator from Tiantai gave a horrible shriek and the empty space energy tore him to shreds.
"Die, ah…" the cultivator gave horrible shrieks as he dying tragically.
"I'll do the next one!" said Hou Qing Lin. He was upset with himself, he should have done the second battle.
"From now on, kill people from the Qi Clan first." said Mu Chen calmly. He was furious though and he said that loud enough so that the cultivators from the Qi Clan could hear him. The cultivator from the Qi Clan on the stage heard him and further lacerated the remaining body parts from the Tiantai cultivator.
Mu Feng was both furious and fearful. What if Meng Qing or Yue Xin ended up like that?
