As soon as Huai Yushan spoke, the powerful members of the Undying Nether Willow clan were all shocked.
The Undying Dragon Locust Clan is the guardian clan of the Undying Netherwill. Although the Clan never doubts their loyalty,
But this matter was of great importance. The Undying Clan absolutely could not lose. Although they could sense that Huai Yushan was quite strong, it was only decent.
Judging just from the aura fluctuations, Huai Yushan might not be among the top one hundred young experts of the Undying Nether Willow.
Now that she wanted to fight a third match, the Undying Nether Willow Clan was in a difficult position. The beautiful woman looked at Huai Yushan, then glanced at Long Chen hidden among the crowd. She seemed to understand something, but in the end, said nothing.
Chu Yao looked at Huai Yushan and said, "Sister, this matter concerns not only the dignity of the Undying Clan, but also my sister's reputation. I ...."
Although Chu Yao was human, that wasn't a valid reason. Even the Demon-Eyed Water Lily could accept mixing with a foreign race, and she and Liu Ruyan were soul-connected. In a sense, they were all about the same, and neither could criticize the other.
Chu Yao still hoped to compete in the third match herself, because she had absolute confidence in her own strength. At the same time, she knew that losing this third match was something she absolutely couldn't afford to lose.
Huai Yushan looked at Chu Yao and softly recited, "The dragon roams the four seas and travels ten thousand miles; the phoenix departs, the phoenix accompanies the ... of the Nine Provinces."
"You ..."
Hearing Huai Yushan's words, Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan trembled violently. Chu Yao trembled all over, her jade hand covering her cherry lips, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"You... "Why are you ...?"
This was something she had said before at the Fengming Lantern Festival in the Fengming Empire. Back then, she had already bowed to fate, but wanted to confide her feelings to Long Chen before dying.
Later, Long Chen responded, "Never abandoning the bloody sea road through life and death; dragon and phoenix depend on each other until old age." This is a poem and a vow made by the two of them.
However, everything that followed truly came true. After the two left the Fengming Empire, they encountered nothing but bloodshed and turmoil. In the world-destroying battle on the Tianwu Continent, everyone vanished, their fate unknown.
She and Liu Ruyan were sent into the Undying Nether Willow clan, and their hearts were constantly filled with longing for Long Chen. That pain was beyond words.
The only comfort she had was that there was still someone she could talk about and the past, which was the driving force that kept her going.
Now, hearing these two lines, Chu Yao was so moved she couldn't utter a single word. Seeing her like this, Long Chen's heart ached like needles. Using Huai Yushan's words, he said,
"Leave the third round to me. All these years, when have I ever let you down?"
Hearing Huai Yushan's tone, Chu Yao burst into tears. She already knew that the guy she had been longing for day and night had finally arrived.
Chu Yao covered her cherry lips with her delicate hand and nodded vigorously. In this world, no one was more reliable than him.
The beautiful woman from the Undying Nether Willow clan saw the excited expressions of Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao. A look of understanding appeared in her eyes. At the same time, her brows furrowed tightly, showing a hint of worry. She then sighed softly and ultimately said nothing.
Thus, the third match was settled. At this moment, both Aguta and the white-haired man wore smiles of triumphant conspiracy.
Seeing their smiles, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth: With your intelligence, childish tactics are only worthy of such low-level tricks. Just wait, Master Long San will teach you a lesson later.
"Alright, since the third match is already set, no more nonsense. The fight will be over within three moves!"
It seemed that after the plot succeeded, Aguta lost patience and suddenly crouched down. At that moment, thirteen dragon veins appeared behind him, and in the instant they appeared, they flooded into his helmet, shoulder armor, elbow armor, knee guards, iron shoes, and other places.
"Boom!"
As Aguta crouched down, the arena suddenly exploded. At that moment, the aura of heaven and earth suddenly sank. Aguta's armor gleamed, and his blood energy was ignited in an instant.
That violent power was countless times stronger than Lan Yin's before. "Death."
At this moment, Aguta's whole body was glowing. On his armor and the Vajra Scepter in his hand, runes swirled, divine power reaching the heavens.
"It's actually a set!"
Long Chen was slightly startled. Only then did he realize that Aguta's armor was connected to the runes of the Vajra Scepter in his hand—it was a rare set.
Long Chen had been in the industry for so many years, and suits were extremely rare, because creating such suits required extremely high skill and countless mental effort.
In Guo Ran's words, the technique of crafting sets has experienced multiple generations of interruptions, and nowadays, very few people can craft sets anymore.
If it weren't for Xia Chen, the rune master working with him, his path to set would have long since come to an end.
Now, whenever more than four sets appear, they are basically old artifacts passed down from the Chaos Era. Yet this guy actually carries thirteen sets, making them the finest among them.
It was clear that the Demon-Eyed Water Lily clan was determined to win this battle. At first, they sent Lan Yin to appear, but Lan Yin's protagonist demeanor fooled the Undying Clan, who thought Lan Yin was the strongest.
Lan Yin directly tricked the strongest fighters of the Undying Clan; they deliberately lost the first match and pinned all their chips on the second and third rounds.
After Aguta took the stage, all his provocations and his coordination with the white-haired man were all acting, all to finalize the roster for the third match.
Now that the third match was set, Aguta was too lazy to act and unleashed his strongest power.
When Aguta unleashed his full power, his armor gleaming and shaking the arena, his blood energy surging like a tsunami, causing the Undying Clan experts to cry out in shock. Clearly, none of them had expected Aguta to be so formidable.
"Heh, looking down on mixed-blood? Today, I'll show you what true hybrid power is. Aguta's
mouth widened, revealing a row of large teeth, like a raging beast, and charged forward fiercely.
"Buzz!"
A massive ring of light appeared on him, and the immense impact formed a sonic boom ring. Before the halo could spread, Aguta was already right in front of Liu Chi.
Liu Chi had already formed hand seals. Amid the roar of the void, eighty-one shields appeared before him. On each shield, endless runes flickered, radiating vast life energy.
Facing the raging Aguta, Liu Chi dared not be careless and immediately condensed his strongest defensive ultimate move.
"Boom!" However,
these eighty-one shields, like city walls, were instantly pierced by a beam of divine light. As the light flew past, the area above Liu Chi's waist vanished in an instant.
The divine light paused, transforming into Aguta's form. Aguta slammed the Vajra Pestle to the ground, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"I thought you could withstand three of my moves. You're giving you too much credit."
At that moment, the powerful members of the Undying Clan wore blank expressions, and the entire arena fell silent.
