Peerless Martial God

At the top of the Qi Tian Peak, Emperor Qi glanced at the crowd and said, “Now, I’m going to tell you the rules of the second round. There are twenty-two battle stages and this time, we won’t separate cultivators at the top of the Zun Qi layer from the others. This time, each of the twenty-two groups will choose one cultivator, then those twenty-two cultivators will fight each other. People who are kicked out of the battle stage or who die will be eliminated. The fight will continue until eleven cultivators are left, then, the battle must stop!”

Emperor Qi wasn’t done talking though.

“Also, cultivators won’t know who they will fight. Once the referee announces the beginning of a battle, each group must send a cultivator immediately, without wasting a second or hesitating. Otherwise, they’ll have to choose one person to eliminate!” continued Emperor Qi. Luck played a big role in that round.

All the groups could only send one person at a time. Therefore, strength was the most important thing, strength and luck.

“Of course, some groups will have no more cultivators to send after a while. When that happens, they’ll just watch. Those who still have cultivators will send them and as before, battles will continue until half of them have been eliminated. And as before, it’s forbidden to use holy weapons. What do the emperors think of these rules?” asked Emperor Qi.

“I agree.” said the emperor from the Si Kong Clan immediately. Everybody knew that they were allied, so the crowd was wondering, during each round, if their cultivators would join hands?

“I agree as well.” said Emperor Tian Long. The Qi Clan and Tian Long Divine Castle were also allies.

The Wen Clan was worried, along with Tiantai concerning the Qi Clan and Tian Long Divine Castle.

“I agree!”

“So do I!” the beast emperors from the brutal part of Ba Huang also agreed.

“I agree.” said Emperor Peng. The other beasts had agreed because they wanted to fight against the cultivators from Bestial Imperial Palace.

“I agree as well.” said the beautiful empress from the Heavens of Desire’s Palace. In group battles, they usually held the advantage. They could seduce many men at the same time, and besides, they had never offended anyone there.

“I agree as well.” said the empress from the Fairyland of the Nine Songs.

Very quickly, all the emperors agreed.

“Alright, since it’s that way. Everybody go back to your mountains and get ready to send people. Meanwhile, Emperor Niu Mo, please prepare the battle stages again.” said Emperor Qi. Then, Emperor Niu Mo prepared the central battle stage while everybody went back to their respective groups. This time, he made a battle stage which was hundreds of meters wide. With that, it would be easier for twenty-two people to fight on it simultaneously.

Mu Feng followed the others back to a mountain. He stayed next to Meng Qing and Qiu Yue Xin the entire time. Many people who had participated or were qualified looked at him furiously. Many of them were strangers to Mu Feng. Actually, he didn’t know that many people in Tiantai and many of them must have been recruited later.

“Teacher, won’t the cultivators from Tian Long Divine Castle and the Qi Clan join hands to fight against us? Last time they did and had almost completely annihilated us. Even worse, now we have a bastard who offended them, giving them a reason to join hands again and attack us.” said a purple-eyed young man to Emperor Yu.

“It seems like I’m not welcome here.” said Mu Feng, looking at the purple-eyed young man with his pitch-black eyes. That young man was talented, but he had only broken through to the first Zun Qi layer.

“Tiantai didn’t invite you here, you’re just a perverted piece of trash!” said the purple-eyed young man. Then, surprisingly, he walked to Qiu Yue Xin and Meng Qing and said, “If you think you can sleep with Meng Qing and Yue Xin, you’re insane!”

Mu Feng looked at him in a cold way. He wouldn’t have thought that there’d be people who didn’t like him inside Tiantai. In the past, he was Mu Feng, one of the emperors’ direct disciples. Meng Qing was his wife, and Yue Xin was his girlfriend. Of course, nobody dared cast greedy eyes on them then, but now that he was supposed to be dead, that purple-eyed young man was showing interest in them.

“If I’m a piece of trash, what are you? I can kill you by simply glancing at you or asking you to die!” said Mu Feng. With that, the purple-eyed young man had a dejected face.

“You’re only an insect, yet you dare cast such greedy eyes on these celestial beings? You’re the weak piece of trash!” said Mu Feng.

“Yue Xin!” said that purple-eyed young man.

“Fuck off!” shouted Qiu Yue Xin coldly. The purple-eyed young man was furious and looked even more upset.

“I’m not your friend so be respectful!” shouted Qiu Yue Xin.

“I’m so sorry!” said the purple-eyed young man. He looked like a buffoon now.

Mu Feng smiled coldly. At the beginning, he didn’t think anything about that purple-eyed young man, but now he hated him.

“The second round is going to start. You can decide for yourselves what the order of the battles will be. Just tell Mu Chen when you want to fight. If someone says they want to fight, but are too late, then be ready to give up.” said Emperor Yu indifferently. He didn’t care about the tensions between Mu Feng and the purple-eyed young man.

“Understood, teacher.”

“Alright, teacher.”

Everybody nodded and told Mu Chen when they wanted to fight.

“I think many groups will send some of their stronger cultivators during the first battle. We can choose to give up or fight, but I think that none of you wants to give up. So, we will fight, right? Who wants to fight first?” asked Mu Chen.

“I’ll go.” said Ruo Xie indifferently. “We’ll see how strong those people are. Unless there are incredible, I won’t give up.”

“Alright, I’m not worried about you.” replied Mu Chen nodding. Ruo Xie would participate to the first battle, which seemed like a good idea because those who could compete with Ruo Xie were rare.

“We’ll see what the first battle is like before we decide on participants for the other battles.” said Mu Chen in a grave and solemn way. Everybody nodded back excitedly.

“Are you all ready?” asked Emperor Qi. The referee then said, “When I say start, you have a second to come out and land on the stage. Otherwise, you’ll be eliminated!”

“Now, get ready, we’ll start in ten seconds!” said the referee. Ten seconds then passed and he said, “Start!”

It was impossible to see who’d come out in that second, so nobody could anticipate.

“If you fall off the stage or die, you’ll be eliminated. When I say stop, everybody must stop, otherwise you’ll be eliminated.” said the referee.

“Alright, let the second round begin. Start!” said the referee. He rose up in the air and looked down at the battle stage.

“Die!” shouted someone furiously. It was a member of the Qi Clan who had a strength at the top of the sixth Zun Qi layer. Tian Long Divine Castle had sent a cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer too. They both attacked Ruo Xie at the same time.

“Bastards, the Qi Clan and Tian Long Divine Castle are joining hands to fight Tiantai right away.” thought Tiantai’s people.
