Chapter 207: Too Insidious
The battle between the "Southeast Branch" and the "Southwest Branch" of the Magic Alliance is about to begin.
Before the battle began, each side sent several formation masters to draw formation patterns on a wide open space in the center of the camp to mark the venue for the battle.
This was an agreement between the two parties beforehand. When the war started, the formation masters from both sides would jointly arrange the formations.
With multiple formation masters working together, it took less than a stick of incense.
"Buzz...!"
As a buzzing sound sounded, four huge silver-white, translucent light curtains lit up in the open space in the center of the camp.
Four hemispherical light curtains are lined up and connected to each other.
This is the venue for this battle.
Zhao Heng and others already knew the rules of the battle beforehand.
These four formations are like four arenas.
Opponents at the four levels of early Ascending Heaven Realm, mid-Ascending Heaven Realm, late Ascending Heaven Realm, and peak Ascending Heaven Realm (including Dzogchen) all fight in a large formation.
At the same time, these four formations also have a special design.
That is, in each formation, all the people on one side need to be eliminated.
A "Shuttle Order" will fall from the sky above the formation.
Those who hold the shuttle order can enter the other three battlefields through the nodes connected to the formation.
Therefore, this battle can be regarded as a melee, full of unknowns.
At this time, the twenty Celestial Realm warriors participating in the battle from both sides were already preparing to enter the arena.
Zhao Heng and others each also have a jade talisman in their hands.
This is a teleportation jade talisman. During the battle, if you feel you are losing, you can take the initiative to teleport it out.
At this time, Zhao Heng sensed that a sharp gaze from the opposite side was looking at him.
He looked up and saw among the ten people opposite him, there was Xuanyuan Kuang, a tall and powerful man with long blood-colored hair.
He was staring at himself, like a ferocious beast staring at its prey.
Xuanyuan Kuang stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked his dry lips, stretched out his hand, and made a "wipe his neck" motion towards Zhao Heng, with no concealed murderous intent in his eyes.
Zhao Heng looked at each other and immediately turned his head and looked away.
When Xuanyuan Kuang saw this, the smile on his lips became even thicker.
"Hehe... He became timid so quickly. It seems like this guy is nothing more than that.
Later, I must torture him for a while. "
But at this time, Zhao Heng turned around and looked at Cao Que, who was standing not far from him, with a slightly expectant look in his eyes.
This battle is of great importance, and the Annan District has the largest number of contestants. Even Cao Que, as a powerful person in the Guiyuan Realm, is a little uneasy at this time.
At this moment, Zhao Heng looked at him and suddenly asked.
"Master Manager, will this battle hurt people's lives?"
Upon hearing Zhao Heng's inquiry, Cao Que was slightly startled, and then said with a gentle smile.
"Protector Ren, don't be too nervous, although this battle is about life and death.
But if you can't do it, don't force it, just crush the jade talisman and send it out in time. "
He just thought it was Zhao Heng's first time participating in this kind of battle. He was a little frightened and expressed relief.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng reached out and rubbed his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Well... if you can kill people, then it will be easy."
At this time, Cao Que added another sentence.
"By the way, Protector Ren, you don't have to rush to repay that Xuanpin heaven and earth spiritual object. There will be plenty of time for you to make meritorious deeds in the future."
Zhao Heng's eyelids twitched slightly. When Cao Que generously advanced the Golden Flame Fruit to him, he had guessed what the other party was thinking.
Now he still owes the branch a Xuan-grade heaven and earth spiritual object, which is worth as much as twenty yellow-grade heaven and earth spiritual objects.
If this debt is not repaid in time, Zhao Heng will not be able to shirk any difficult tasks that Cao Que will arrange for him in the future.
Moreover, as Zhao Heng's cultivation level improved, the quality of the classics he cultivated increased, and the number of heaven and earth spiritual objects consumed also began to increase, like a "gold-swallowing beast" waiting to be fed.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to clear the debt.
If you can still make money, that would be even better!
Thinking of this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but ask Yin Ruoling beside him in a low voice.
"Protector Yin, how are the rewards calculated for this battle?"
Yin Ruoling seemed to have read Zhao Heng's thoughts, and played with it.
“In this battle, if you defeat an opponent in the early stage of Ascending Heaven Realm with your own hands, you can get three heaven and earth spiritual objects. If you defeat an opponent in the middle stage of Ascending Heaven Realm, you can get five items. If you defeat an opponent in the late stage of Ascending Heaven Realm, you can get eight items.
If you can defeat a Dzogchen realm opponent, you will be rewarded with a Xuanpin heaven and earth spiritual object.
Don't expect to pay off your debt, just listen to Manager Cao's orders. "
After saying that, Yin Ruoling had a gloating smile on her face.
In her opinion, it would be considered good if Zhao Heng could defeat an opponent of the same level.
Even if he was unlucky enough to defeat two opponents of the same level, plus the three heaven and earth spiritual objects as rewards for participating in the battle, he would only have nine heaven and earth spiritual objects after he died, which was not enough to repay the debt.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng did not react at all, and glanced at the ten contestants from the Southwest Branch.
At this time, in Zhao Heng's eyes, corresponding reward numbers seemed to appear on these people's heads.
His eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: "As long as you go faster and don't get eliminated by others first, that should be enough!"
When they made up their minds, the strong men from both camps had already inspected the four formations.
After confirming that it was correct, the formation light curtain disappeared and the participants began to enter.
Zhao Heng, a horse-faced young man in strong soft armor, and a delicate-looking, petite Loli girl from the same camp walked towards the formation on the far left.
This formation is the battlefield for warriors from both sides in the early stage of Ascension to Heaven Realm. Yin Ruoling and Ximen Gucheng went to the third formation from the right.
When Zhao Heng and the others entered the formation, Xuanyuan Kuang and two cold and fierce-looking men in dark red robes on the opposite side entered the formation and stood opposite the three.
Zhao Heng looked forward, not looking at the three people, but at the tops of their heads.
Calculate silently in your mind: "Three plus three plus three equals nine."
At this time, the horse-faced young man and the Loli girl beside him took a look at their opponent. They both couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva and looked nervous.
The palm of the Loli girl holding the sword was slightly sweaty and trembling. She couldn't help but whisper: "They look so fierce. What should I do? I'm a little scared!"
"Junior sister, don't be afraid, we are not easy to mess with."
The horse-faced young man holding a spear at the side, while speaking comfort, had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and added another sentence.
"No...but the red-haired one doesn't seem to be easy to deal with!"
At this time, the three early-stage warriors of the Ascending Heaven Realm from the southwest branch opposite were already exuding their own momentum.
Among them, Xuanyuan Kuang, who stood in the middle of the three people with a majestic figure, long scarlet hair, and silver gloves on his hands, was particularly terrifying.
The majestic power of blood and surging profound energy on his body showed that his cultivation had reached the peak of the early stage of ascending to the sky. Coupled with his menacing appearance, he had a strong sense of oppression.
At this moment, with the activation of the array master outside the field, the four large arrays were operating again, and the light curtain slowly closed.
"Let me do it, we meet again!"
Xuanyuan Kuang across from him stared at Zhao Heng teasingly.
"Weren't you crazy last time? This time, you're not so lucky.
I will skin you and cramp you, crush every bone in your body, make you wail in pain, and die in torture! "
Xuanyuan Kuang’s voice was bone-chilling, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell.
The little lolita and the horse-faced young man beside Zhao Heng were trembling slightly, and their faces became paler the more they listened.
This man is too cruel and perverted.
The only good thing is that he seems to have a grudge against Ren Woxing and will not target them first.
While their thoughts were swirling in their hearts, they suddenly heard Zhao Heng's voice transmission.
"You two, do you mind leaving empty-handed?"
"Huh...?" When the two heard this, they were stunned at the same time.
Zhao Heng continued to transmit the message: "The red-haired guy has a grudge against me and will definitely attack me first. Don't worry, I will be there soon."
Hearing this, the little Lolita and the horse-faced young man felt a thump in their hearts and turned even paler.
What does "I'll be quick" mean, is this guy trying to say that he'll be eliminated quickly and let's face this pervert?
No wonder he asked us if we would mind leaving empty-handed.
What an insidious guy!
The two looked at each other, then silently held the two teleportation jade talismans in their hands.
I have made up my mind, if I see that the situation is not good and I really can't win, I will decisively admit defeat and teleport, and I will never be tricked by this bastard.
At this moment, the four large array light curtains finally closed completely.
"Dong dong...!"
The drums are beating loudly, and the battle begins!
