Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body-Chapter 439
?
439 Zhan Ning from the Zhan Clan
In the room, Tong Shan’s expression was grave. As he watched the injured Nan Qian being carried off the stage, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
“Is there really a need to continue...”
After a long moment of silence, Tong Shan sighed. “Right now, we already have three disciples who have failed, and the Zhan Clan has only lost one.
In the third round of the competition, defeat seemed to be already set in stone.
“Let’s continue. We can only place our hopes of advancing on that guy.”
After some consideration, Tang Conglin gave his answer. His gaze swept past the tens of thousands of spectators in the stands and landed on a slightly thin figure in the middle of the queue below.
“I hope so,” Tong Shan muttered as he looked at the figure.
Even though Gu Xi had displayed his strength earlier, the Ancient Sect was still slightly inferior to the Zhan Clan. Not to mention that the Ancient Sect had broken the rules of the competition and was disqualified. If that competition had continued, it was still unknown who would have won or lost.
On the arena, Hou Yu went up.
Even as a genius disciple that Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had painstakingly nurtured, he could not help but feel helpless in the face of the Zhan Clan’s team.
He could defeat one person, or even two people if he risked his life, but what about the remaining four people of the Zhan Clan? After all, there were only two people left behind him.
“Hey! Are you trying to stall for time?”
Zhan Shengjie saw that Hou Yu did not move at all after going up the stage and seemed a little anxious. He turned to the referee, signaling for him to start the competition quickly.
After being stabbed by the Flowing Cloud Dart, his physical strength and other aspects had been greatly reduced. Perhaps after a period of time, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.
But before that, he had to defeat Hou Yu. Even if he could not defeat Hou Yu, he had to do his best to exhaust or even injure him.
“The fourth round of the competition, begin!”
Following the referee’s order, Zhan Shengjie impatiently clenched his fist. The remaining spiritual energy in his body began to circulate along the complex meridians. A vast pressure surged out and condensed into three fist shadows in front of him.
“Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist, Level Three!”
His face was a little ferocious, and the pain from his back made him grimace in pain. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
He threw out his fist from a distance, and three huge fist shadows rushed out toward Hou Yu’s position. The sound of the fist breaking through the air was somewhat ear-piercing, like a human shriek.
“Jade Crystal Shield!”
Facing the famous ultimate technique of the Zhan Clan, Hou Yu did not dare to hold back in the slightest. He hurriedly took out the defensive spirit weapon that had followed him for many years.
A dark green crystal shield the size of an adult man appeared in front of him. The surface of the shield rippled from time to time, as if it was made of water. At first glance, it looked like a dream.
The next moment, three huge fists came one after another.
Boom–
The first fist shadow landed with a loud bang. The Jade Crystal Shield, together with Hou Yu behind it, was pushed back more than ten steps. Fortunately, it managed to block the attack, which made Tong Shan and Tang Conglin let out a sigh of relief.
If Hou Yu was defeated in a single move, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would not have to participate in the sect competition anymore. It would not be embarrassing enough.
Boom–
With another loud sound, the second fist shadow landed. The Jade Crystal Shield trembled violently, and Hou Yu was forced back dozens of feet before he could stop.
Then came the third fist shadow. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the final result.
Boom–
As the last fist shadow fell, an earth-shattering sound rang out.
A series of shocking cracks appeared on the surface of the Jade Crystal Shield. The huge impact sent Hou Yu flying out of control, but fortunately, he did not leave the ring.
Looking at the cracked shield in front of him, Hou Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Zhan Shengjie was gasping for air. As time passed, his face became paler and paler, as if he would faint at any moment.
Even so, he had no intention of admitting defeat.
Everyone in the Zhan Clan lived up to their name. Although not all of them were brave and good at fighting, at the very least, they were all warlike and worshipped fighting. Furthermore, they would definitely not easily count their numbers.
Hou Yu was well aware of this, so he did not plan on persuading Zhan Shengjie to surrender. Instead, he put the Jade Crystal Shield into his pocket and took out a green wooden sword. He quickly rushed out.
Although Zhan Shengjie had sworn to not admit defeat, he was still injured and exhausted. Naturally, he was not Hou Yu’s opponent. After two or three rounds, his body was covered in wounds and he fell to the ground unconscious.
“The fourth round, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion wins!”
The referee announced the result once again and ordered for Zhan Shengjie to be carried down. On the other side, another member of the Zhan Clan’s team stepped up onto the stage. It was a woman. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
No matter if it was her appearance or dress, there was no trace of a woman’s beauty. Instead, she was filled with a heroic and valiant aura, which was quite compatible with the Zhan Clan’s style.
“Zhan Clan’s Zhan Ning, I’m afraid Hou Yu from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will have to take part in this!”
As soon as Zhan Ning stepped onto the stage, the spectators cheered. It was clear that many of them recognized her and acknowledged her strength.
“Who is this Zhan Ning?”
Gu Xi, who was below the ring, keenly noticed the change in the atmosphere and asked Liu Li who was waiting to go on stage.
Liu Li was obviously a little nervous and did not react at first. However, when he came back to his senses, he looked at Gu Xi in surprise, “You don’t even know this? Don’t underestimate Zhan Ning just because she’s a woman. In the younger generation of the Zhan Clan, she’s one of the strongest. I heard that in the last internal competition of the Zhan Clan, Zhan Ning’s strength was only second to Zhan Hong.”
“Second only to Zhan Hong. Huh...”
Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but raise his eyebrows and his interest was piqued.
For a woman to be able to reach this stage today, it was truly not simple!
At the same time, the two people in the ring had already entered battle mode. With the referee’s order, the fifth match officially began.
Neither of them spoke any nonsense. Hou Yu clearly knew Zhan Ning’s strength. At this moment, his face was solemn, and his entire body was in a state of combat. He did not relax in the slightest, because he knew that against Zhan Ning, he would be completely defeated if he was even the slightest bit careless.
