Chapter 93

Remember to bookmark 【↘→】 for a great reading experience of captivating novels. Dou Tian’s words spread faintly, echoing across the entire arena, and also reverberating in Huang Tao’s ears, causing the latter’s expression to change.

However, Huang Tao’s slightly changed expression quickly returned to normal, for he knew that the Dou Tian standing opposite had the qualifications to say such words.

But knowing is one thing; the posture of a giant dragon soaring in the nine heavens looking down at the earth and the lions racing below ignited a fierce and indomitable pride in Huang Tao’s heart, burning like a raging fire!

"Even if I can’t match you, I will use all my strength to fight you!"

With this belief, a faint silver essence energy enveloped Huang Tao, and a powerful cultivation fluctuation spread out!

Late Essence Soul Realm!

Huang Tao was a late Essence Soul Realm expert!

"Residual Moon Cold Light Hand!"

"Hum"

With a step of his right foot, Huang Tao leaped high into the air, his hands clenched into fists and crossed in front of his chest. Behind him, a deep silver soul moon slowly rose, and an unstoppable momentum poured out. Just as Dou Tian had said, Huang Tao used his full strength from the start, without the slightest reservation!

"Hum"

Faint silver essence energy lights flickered, making Huang Tao appear like a moonlit warrior treading on all sides and dominating the night sky!

Three blurry shadows appeared around Huang Tao, slender and cold, pale silver, emitting a heart-stirring aura!

"Cold Moon Residual Glow!"

"Thud" "Boom"

With this low shout, the blurry shadows instantly condensed in the air, the pale silver essence energy lights surged and surged, and dazzling light scattered in all directions. After the light dissipated, three pale silver light blades flickered, like the cold and lonely crescent moon in the clear night sky!

At this moment, Huang Tao’s eyes were calm, and all his nervousness and unease vanished. What remained was absolute calmness and determination, and the confidence and resolve to unleash 120% of his combat power!

"Rumble"

The three residual moon blades drew mysterious trajectories in the air, rising quietly around Huang Tao. The pale silver light was as cold as water, slicing through the void, yet contained a sharp force that could cut through everything!

At the same time, Huang Tao’s crossed fists in front of his chest swept forward, transforming back into palms, and he pressed down heavily towards Dou Tian, who stood with his hands behind his back below.

"Hum"

The air shimmered with pale silver light, and the three residual moon blades descended in a cross, a chilling and cold fluctuation pressing down, like a sharp dagger gently touching the warm flesh of the neck, icy and dangerous.

Dou Tian, standing with his hands behind his back, slightly raised his head, his icy eyes gazing at the three residual moon blades approaching him. His right hand gently lifted, a blue droplet floating above it, seemingly containing boundless beauty.

Just as the three residual moon blades approached within three zhang of Dou Tian, Huang Tao, still hovering in the air, tightened his pressing hands and focused his gaze!

"Hum"

Three dazzling pale silver lights suddenly appeared, bursting with powerful fluctuations. In an instant, the three residual moon blades rapidly converged into a single fifteen-zhang-long pale silver light blade, moving even faster, and in the blink of an eye, it slashed down onto the towering figure!

"Rumble" "Hum"

With this full-strength attack, Huang Tao’s figure almost simultaneously landed back on the arena, breathing slightly, his eyes tightly fixed on Dou Tian, who was enveloped in pale silver essence energy light dozens of zhang away, a glint of light in his eyes.

Huang Tao had absolute confidence in this move, Cold Moon Residual Glow, one of his greatest trump cards. He had never used it since mastering it, and the final transformation of the three residual moon blades into one added another thirty percent to its power.

"If it were a fair fight, I indeed wouldn’t be your match, Dou Tian, but your arrogance allowed me to use this move calmly. Who will win or lose is uncertain now."

This thought flowed through Huang Tao’s mind, giving him a glimmer of hope for victory, which grew stronger. More pale silver essence energy lights enveloped him, and Huang Tao decided to press on with a thunderous momentum to thoroughly defeat Dou Tian!

"Hum" "Rumble"

On the other side of the arena, the pale silver essence energy light continued to surge, as if Dou Tian had been completely overwhelmed by Huang Tao’s all-out attack.

"Dou Tian was too arrogant!"

"Huang Tao is also a late Essence Soul Realm expert!"

"It seems the outcome is uncertain now."

...

The discussions on the circular stone seats continued, all seemingly lamenting Dou Tian’s behavior. If he hadn’t been so overconfident and said he would let Huang Tao use one move, the situation might have been different.

At the seat of the hundred city lords, the City Lord of Vast Heaven City chuckled, a sneer on his lips, his bald head gleaming, and a fierce aura fluctuating.

"Hum"

The pale silver essence energy light suddenly dispersed from the center, the essence energy fluctuations retreating as if forced back by a powerful force. A faint voice echoed from within: "This move is not bad, but its power is far too weak."

"Rumble"

A blue light shone, transforming into blue ice crystals scattered in the surrounding air. Wherever they passed, the void seemed to freeze, extremely cold, as if drifting from a thousand-year-old ice mountain.

A towering figure emerged, his left hand behind his back, his right hand extended in front, flowing with a faint blue essence energy. His black hair fluttered, his expression stern, his aura like a deep sea, rolling and surging. From a distance, Dou Tian looked like an ice king emerging from a frigid land.

"Swish"

With a light wave of his right hand, the blue ice crystals scattered again, and Dou Tian said to the now pale-faced Huang Tao: "It’s my turn."

...

"Congratulations to Dou Tian of Vast Heaven City for winning and advancing to the next round."

The Saint Light Elder, hovering in the air, looked at Dou Tian standing with his hands behind his back on the arena, nodding slightly, satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He hadn’t expected such a good seed in the Eastern Land. If nothing unexpected happens, this young man, who has already reached the peak of the late Essence Soul Realm, should be the champion of this hundred-city battle.

Thunderous cheers erupted again, as Dou Tian, who had let Huang Tao use one move, defeated him with absolute strength in a single move. This dramatic change stirred the emotions of all the spectators, who couldn’t help but cheer for Dou Tian’s power.

Ye Wuque looked at Huang Tao, who was covered in a thick layer of blue ice and had lost his ability to move, gaining a direct understanding of Dou Tian’s strength.

"This person is very strong. Perhaps among all the participants, his cultivation is already the undisputed first."

With a mysterious tone, Ye Wuque said these words, and Sima Ao and Lin Yingluo’s expressions were already heavy. As Ye Wuque said, Dou Tian’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the late Essence Soul Realm, with extremely thick essence energy, seemingly just one step away from the Force Soul Realm!

"Ha ha, it seems our luck is really good. From Feng Caichen to Dou Tian, in the Hundred Essence World, they all chose the Heavenly Hundred Inheritance rather than the Yang Essence Inheritance. Otherwise, the outcome might have been different."

A slightly self-mocking voice came from Sima Ao, and a stern look flashed across Lin Yingluo’s beautiful face.

If Feng Caichen and Dou Tian had chosen the Yang Essence Inheritance, even one of them could have easily defeated Zhou Hu with absolute dominance.

Liu She, who lost to Feng Caichen, and Huang Tao, who lost to Dou Tian, both had cultivation and combat power slightly inferior to Zhou Hu.

Sima Ao and Lin Yingluo’s gazes met, and they both saw a hint of worry in each other’s eyes. The worry was not for themselves but for Ye Wuque.

Because they understood that unless they had extremely good luck and faced an opponent at the mid Essence Soul Realm, they would surely lose. They had come to terms with it, seeing it as a chance to gain experience and participate, but they sensed that Ye Wuque was extremely determined to win the hundred-city battle.

"Feng Caichen, Dou Tian... to meet such powerful opponents, this hundred-city battle truly makes my blood boil!"

A soft murmur came from Ye Wuque’s mouth, the battle spirit and enthusiasm in his eyes not diminishing but increasing, as if the strength of Feng Caichen and Dou Tian had not made him retreat or fear but made the fire in his heart burn even brighter!

Noticing Ye Wuque’s state, Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao were first stunned, then they both smiled, all their worries instantly dispelled.

Indeed, Feng Caichen and Dou Tian were extremely powerful, but was Ye Wuque weak?

No one understood Ye Wuque’s current strength better than Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao!

"What kind of sensation will be caused when Wuque takes the stage?"

Sima Ao couldn’t contain his excitement and anticipation at this thought.

Lin Yingluo’s slender waist was straight, and her red lips curved into a smile, like an ice orchid blooming, beautiful enough to make one’s heart race.

"Hum..."

The Saint Light Elder extended his hand from the purple circle, taking out two hundred-city jade seals, and then announced loudly: "Third match, Zhang Fan from Lone Star City, versus Xia You from Floating Mist City."

"Whoosh whoosh"

Two sounds of breaking wind echoed, a short and grinning man and a seductive woman with a faint misty glow around her body each stepped onto the arena.

Zhang Fan from Lone Star City and Xia You from Floating Mist City, thus began the final showdown of the hundred-city battle.

"Boom"

Panting heavily, Zhang Fan, who had pushed his speed to the limit, desperately dodged the dagger-wielding Xia You. After several close calls, he was finally caught up by Xia You, whose dagger twisted like a snake, and her body contorted into an extremely strange position, instantly slashing Zhang Fan’s legs.

Xia You from Floating Mist City advanced.

...

"Hum" "Thud"

Nalan Yan’s hands burst with dazzling seven-color light, and she struck the opponent from Storm City, Du Guyan, breaking her Rain Curtain Heavenly Splendor and winning the final victory.

Nalan Yan from Heavenly Phoenix City advanced.

...

"Heavenly Star Four Symbols Fist!"

"One Sword... Cover the Earth."

On the arena, a sword light like a rainbow hung from the sky, descending and slicing through the four shadowy fists, and then continued to strike Hai Pingfeng from Four Symbols City.

Chu Jian City’s Chen He advanced.

...

"Wind and Cloud Merge! Boundless!"

"Great Five Elements Soul-Extinguishing Hand!"

"Boom" "Thud"

The rapidly rolling cloud handprint and the colorful handprint collided, intertwining in a dazzling display of essence energy light. In the end, Du Ming from Five Elements City, slightly inferior, ran out of essence energy and lost to Sima Ao, who was also at the peak of the mid Essence Soul Realm.

Longguang City’s Sima Ao advanced.

...

"Thud thud thud..."

Huo Qingshan from Yueshan City, weighing three hundred jin, stomped on the arena, his fists swinging fiercely. He smashed his way forward, each punch landing on Li Yifeng’s arms from Xiguang City, who was struggling to hold on. Li Yifeng’s arms were already numb from the pain, and his internal qi and blood were surging. Finally, he reached his limit and was knocked off the arena by a fist as large as a sandbag.

Yueshan City’s Huo Qingshan advanced.

...

Intense battles continued, with each participant and their opponent on the arena fighting with all their might, never giving up, never surrendering, fighting until the last moment.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by. Nearly half of the fifty-one participants had already faced off, and those who advanced were filled with joy and confidence, while those who lost were disheartened but quickly put aside their disappointment and focused on the upcoming exciting matches.

"Thud"

On the arena, two figures were rapidly clashing, the fluctuations spreading over dozens of zhang, indicating that both sides had pushed their combat power to the limit, and the battle had entered a stalemate.

"Bang"

"Ha ha! Defeat!"

A voice filled with exhaustion but joy suddenly sounded, followed by a strange crackling sound, the sound of thunder. A purple-red lightning bolt as thick as an arm flashed, and a figure, scorched black, fell to the ground, while another, though exhausted, was filled with excitement.

Leizheng from Thunder City advanced.

On the circular stone seats, Sima Ao, who had already advanced, still had a smile on his face, feeling extremely fortunate.

"Who would have thought my luck was so good, facing an opponent at the peak of the mid Essence Soul Realm. Ha ha..."

With his current cultivation and combat power, Sima Ao was also extremely strong in the same realm. Although Du Ming from Five Elements City had excellent cultivation and combat power, he was still slightly inferior to Sima Ao.

However, Sima Ao seemed to think of something and quickly said to Lin Yingluo, "Yingluo, if you face an opponent you can’t match, it’s best to concede quickly. Don’t try to fight hard."

Hearing Sima Ao’s words, Ye Wuque also nodded slightly: "Sima is right. With your current combat power, facing a late Essence Soul Realm cultivator is too much. Even if you use all your strength, you will surely lose. In that case, it’s better to concede. This isn’t a matter of losing face but being realistic and having a clear conscience. Sima had good luck and faced an opponent he could fight, so I didn’t stop him. Of course, if you have good luck and face a mid Essence Soul Realm peak opponent, you should defeat him."

Ye Wuque and Sima Ao’s words filled Lin Yingluo with warmth. She knew they were worried about her and didn’t want her to be unnecessarily harmed, as a late Essence Soul Realm cultivator was too strong for her.

Sometimes, giving up is also a wise choice.

"Um."

She softly responded, smiling at the two, like a gentle orchid, making Sima Ao extremely excited, his heart racing, and his eyes full of love.

The Saint Light Elder again drew two hundred-city jade seals from the purple circle, his gaze sweeping over, and his voice echoed in the air, reaching the ears of everyone on the circular stone seats.

"Huo Zhong from Yueshan City, versus Ye Wuque from Longguang City."

Ye Wuque, who had been sitting quietly, narrowed his eyes, exhaled lightly, his eyes like lightning, the sharpness in them mixed with the overwhelming aura around him, and he slowly stood up, his black hair flowing, his lips slightly curled: "Finally, it’s my turn..."
