Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 157

When it came to this, Di Xi was very helpless.

The Easternmost Hunt was extremely cruel and could even be horrifying.

As a small empire, the Tianzong Dynasty could only compete with those middle-sized or large empires when all 15 geniuses partic.i.p.ating in the hunt worked together. If there were internal conflicts, then it was the same thing as going to their death.

Therefore, since Jian Wushuang was filled with a hatred toward Xue Yun, only one person between them could partic.i.p.ate in the Easternmost Hunt. The other would have to stop at this selection battle.

"It's almost time, let's start," Di Xi said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, a Golden-armored General standing beside him respectfully nodded and then left.

In the open s.p.a.ce where a large number of warriors gathered, everyone was still focused on Jian Wushuang and Xue Yun.

"Jian Wushuang, you have stolen the limelight," Baili Chen walked up to Jian Wushuang and joked.

"He started it." Jian Wushuang shrugged.

"I know." Baili Chen's expression suddenly grew dignified and said, " But you must be careful with Xue Yun. That guy is rather terrifying."

"Terrifying?" Jian Wushuang glanced at Baili Chen. "An exceptional genius ranked second on the Earthly Dragon List, actually used this word to describe a warrior at the same level."

"He's very terrifying," Baili Chen said seriously, "Three years ago, I teamed up with Qing Cang to fight against him. It resulted in a draw. But at the time, he was only in the Profound Gold Core Realm. At the time, he had just entered the Profound Gold Core Realm, not even at the peak level. But now, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Exceptional Gold Core Realm!"

"Just going by his cultivation, his power has increased a lot. Let alone counting his talent, in the past three years, his comprehension of the Essence Realm must have improved tremendously. In short, he is now a downright monster!"

"I feel like that too," Qing Cang, who had been silent the whole time, also commented in a low voice, "Although I haven't fought against him in the last three years, the second I saw him I felt like he has reached a level I can't even touch."

"Oh?" Jian Wushuang's pupil slightly dilated.

Baili Chen and Qing Cang were the two people who actually fought with Xue Yun, but they were both afraid of him.

Jian Wushuang was also extremely serious.

He knew that Xue Yun was exceptionally strong!

But he was also quite strong.

Two years ago, he nearly killed a purple-masked a.s.sa.s.sin from Blood Feather Tower. Two years later, his strength was much greater.

At this time...

Zoom!

The general wearing a golden armored suddenly appeared in the air above the platform and an oppressive aura instantly radiated from him.

For a time, the entire area was silent.

All the warriors in the area, even including the experts from the Earthly Dragon List, were shuddering under the oppression of this aura.

"The Yang Void Realm!' Jian Wushuang also flashed a trace of fear.

He fought with the spirit beasts numerous times, so he was not afraid of them.

What surprised him was the duration of this selection battle.

The Cloud Mountains were rather small. With a group of people searching, all 15 spirit beasts could be found and killed in half a day. In other words, all 15 cores might be claimed within a day.

But the selection battle would last seven days?

Before the seventh day, even if someone had a core, it would mean nothing. The cores for pa.s.sing the selection battle could only be handed over to the Golden-armored General seven days later.

"Hum, seven days. They just want to watch us fight for seven days. 68 warriors in the Gold Core Realm are partic.i.p.ating in this selection battle. However, there will only be 15 victors in seven days."  Once Jian Wushuang understood the rules of this selection battle, he smiled slightly.

The voice of that Golden-armored General continued to echo.

"In the seven-day selection battle, n.o.body can leave the Cloud Mountain range unless they give up."

"In addition, you are allowed to kill in this selection battle. That is to say, if your strength is poor, dying here could be your destiny."

"Similarly, as long as you have the strength, you can kill your opponents to gain the core needed to pa.s.s the selection battle. If you are attacked by the Sect or experts a.s.sociated with the person you killed here, Our Golden-dragon Palace's experts will help you. In other words, in this selection battle, you can do anything you want."

"But there is one rule. During this selection battle, it is forbidden to swallow elixirs that can increase your cultivation level in a short time. Anyone who breaks this rule will be executed. As for other means, feel free to show your full strength."

Hearing this, the 68 Gold Core Realm experts that were partic.i.p.ating in this selection battle all grew serious, barring a few people who were confident in their own strength.

Obviously, this selection battle would be very cruel.
