On the battlefield, everybody faced everybody else. It was a free for all. Luck was necessary. Wang Shi and Lei Dong Tian hadn't been lucky. Lei Dong Tian had caused trouble, so he had died.
Wang Shi had just been way too unlucky. Two of the strongest cultivators present on the battlefield had killed him. Tianhun and Chu Chun Qiu didn't care about about who other people were; to them, everybody was potential prey. They didn't care about social status, either. If someone was useless to them, then they just killed them mercilessly. Wang Shi was no exception!
Chu Chun Qiu absorbed Wang Jie's intent, Tianhun stole his soul strength. It was a terrifying and tragic way to die. The inhabitants of Godly Clouds City watching were astonished, and the strong cultivators of the Pellet Kings Clan were shaking. Wang Jie and Wang Shi had both participated in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, but Wang Jie hadn't passed the first round. They were annoyed, but he was young, after all. They had hoped Wang Shi would end up high up in the ranking list, but he had been killed in atrocious conditions.
However, Chu Chun Qiu and Tianhun didn't care about Wang Shi at all. To them, he had just been a passenger. They continued as if nothing had happened. They continued looking for people who could help them. Many people faced the same destiny as Wang Shi, and were killed cruelly. People didn't dare join Chu Chun Qiu and Tianhun's alliance because they were scared. In a very short time, a dozen people died, so many people started paying attention to the two fighters.
At that moment, they had found someone who happily accepted joining their alliance.
"How is that possible? Those two are brutal and cruel murderers, and surprisingly someone dares join their alliance, and on top of that, it's him?"
"They're terrifyingly strong. They both have the potential to end up in the top twenty of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. With a guy who's in the top twenty, their alliance can destroy almost everyone on the battlefield. So many people are going to die in helplessly."
Ni Cang, Purple Clouds' First Master! He was extremely strong. His abilities were similar to Ying Cheng's, but different. Ni Cang's strength was even more aggressive. He had Chaotic Sky techniques. He could mess with people's godly awareness and souls. His Chaotic Counterflow Punch could make the sky chaotic. One punch, and he could destroy people's souls and godly awareness. With his abilities, his initial strength could be multiplied up to ten times!
Everybody was convinced that the nine First Masters of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were all terrifyingly strong. Of course, before having seen battles between them, nobody could say who the strongest one was!
That alliance was going to turn into a disaster for many people. At that moment, Hou Qing Lin and the others were already worried. The five of them couldn't fight against the three of them, that would be really bad luck. The consequences would be much different from the previous battle.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer fighters on the battlefield. A hundred people had already been eliminated; some people had taken the initiative to leave, others had been killed. The people from Godly Clouds City were shocked. So many strong cultivators were dying, definitely a tragedy!
As expected, Chu Chun Qiu and the two others destroyed people, one after another.

Xian Ren saw Chu Chun Qiu and the two others in the distance. He glanced at the Buddhist monk and said calmly, "Bald Donkey, should we form an alliance with our fellow disciple, we'll be stronger than them then."
(TL Note: Bald Donkey, Tu Lu in Mandarin, is a mocking term to call a Buddhist Monk)
Xian Ren looked at Chu Chun Qiu and the others. He was also astonished. They were terrifyingly strong trio. Even alone, those three people could destroy many people on this battlefield. They were geniuses amongst geniuses, and together, they looked like an army of death. He was thinking that forming an alliance with their fellow disciple, Hua Qing Feng, would be wise.
"I'm not interested," said the Buddhist monk calmly. Then, he jumped onto a mountain and sat down cross-legged. He started meditating as if all the battles had nothing to do with him.
"Stinky Bald Donkey! You're not nice!" said Xian Ren. Even though he insulted that Bald Donkey, he knew he was extremely strong. Therefore, he followed him and laid down at the top of the mountain as if he had nothing to do. He even looked relaxed. With the Bald Donkey, he felt safe, unless a powerful alliance came to make trouble for them.
Many people did like Xian Ren and the Buddhist monk, they relaxed and didn't get involved.

Hua Qing Feng, Godly Clouds' First Master, looked confident and at ease. He practiced both Confucian and sword cultivation, he strictly enforced the principles he learned in the Holy Scriptures. If he had the opportunity to kill someone, he did. He didn't really care about worldly principles. Of course, he didn't have many opportunities to attack. Almost everybody knew him there, and with the star number he had above his head, people stayed far, far away from him.
Prince Wu Qing, the First Master of Dark Clouds, who had Three Thousand Threads of Emotionlessness Strength and knew the Three Thousand Deadly Technique was also emotionless. He didn't go and offend people, but if people offended him, he crushed them without a care.
Supreme Clouds' First Master, Wu Ya Zi, destroyed people's emotions. He was even more cruel than Prince Wu Qing. He could destroy people's seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. At that moment, on his side, there were four people. They looked like an alliance, but actually, those people were his puppets. He had destroyed their seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, and made them into his puppets. They looked ferocious and fought cruelly.
Of course, the other First Masters were there too, and people watched them all carefully.
—
"Who's the strongest of all First Masters?" wondered many people.
"It's Hua Qing Feng, of course. He's from Holy Mountain, the first group of Godly Clouds City. They're the strongest group apart from the mysterious groups of the inner part of Godly Clouds City. Hua Qing Feng is extremely strong. He'll probably rank first this time."
"I think so, too. He's extremely strong. But who could rank second?"
"I'm not sure. Those people are extremely strong. For example, Red Clouds' First Master is a Great Scholar. His deployment spells are terrifying. I think he can even compete with Hua Qing Feng. There's Purple Clouds' First Master too, as well as the two people in his alliance. They are all terrifying people. We saw how fearsome they were before Ni Cang joined their alliance. Among the others… I don't know."
"Indeed, but if they fought in one-on-one's, it'd be difficult to know who the strongest ones are. At least, we can be sure we'll see those people in the top thirty."
People in Godly Clouds City all chattered on. They were excited and enthusiastic.
"Haven't you noticed that people are almost all starting to form alliances? Strong cultivators stay with strong cultivators."
"Yes, indeed. Strong cultivators who stay alone know it could get dangerous for them if they stay alone. Therefore, they're starting to form alliances. That way, it's less risky, they have less chance to be eliminated. Besides, strong cultivators stay with strong cultivators because such people wouldn't want to stay with people of different levels. That's why Hua Qing Feng is alone. Besides, the strongest geniuses probably think they'll fight against people who are similarly strong on the battle stage in one-on-ones."
The watchers understood the situation.
——
Lin Feng and the others were resting in the mountains. However, they still faced some enemies now and then. Lin Feng beheaded a fighter, blood dripping from his blade. That person wasn't willing to die, but it was too late. His eyes were still open and staring at Lin Feng. He was in a four-people alliance, initially they wanted to clear out that mountain range, but they hadn't thought that Lin Feng and Jing were so strong. When they were furious, they destroyed people mercilessly.
They killed all four of the attackers quickly. That was the price for attacking Lin Feng and Jing by surprise. Blood kept dripping from Lin Feng's sword, and when people in the distance saw that, they didn't dare approach.
Lin Feng descended from the sky, Jing looked at him and asked indifferently, "What kind of relationship do you have with Feng?"
Lin Feng looked at Jing and said calmly, "What kind of relationship do you have with Qing Feng?"
"I'm her sister. She seems to care a lot about you. If you ever dare hurt her, I'll never let you off."
"Sister?" Lin Feng looked at Jing in a strange way. She looked ice-cold and cute at the same time, and surprisingly, she was Qing Feng's sister?
"Qing Feng has never told me anything about a sister." said Lin Feng indifferently. They were both talking telepathically next to Qing Feng. Jing looked at Lin Feng coldly, it was a warning.
"Don't think we're having a random chat. I mean it from the bottom of my heart, I will never let anyone hurt Feng."
Lin Feng looked at Jing, she looked beautiful and cold and detached. Lin Feng stared at her, his eyes suddenly filled with tenderness. Jing looked back at him in a cold way, what did this bastard want now? Why was he staring at her?
"Your phoenix necklace is really beautiful," Lin Feng smiled, using telepathy as before. Jing was startled at the unexpected words!
