Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2141 1540: Spectating the Battle (2)

During the battle, as long as the other party doesnʼt surrender, itʼs permissible to end the fight by killing the opponent.

Aside from that, thereʼs a restriction that forbids the use of Spiritual Objects exceeding oneʼs own Realm.

”If there are no other issues, letʼs start directly, or do we need to wait for a while?” said the loose cultivator Earth Immortal.

From this sentence, it can be seen that this is a plan he has been preparing for a long time.

”Weʼll start in two hours.”

After speaking, the Earth Immortals from the Three Mysterious Sect and other forces began discussing which three cultivators should be sent to ensure their ultimate victory and obtain the Pure Spirit Grass.

”I think Cheng Wanyue, Ning Qingfeng, and Wang Chi have quite strong abilities, with cultivation already at the Peak of Human Immortal. Theyʼve even fought against Earth Immortal cultivators before, though they were ultimately defeated, they held on for quite a long time, so sending them to battle gives us a pretty good chance of winning.”

”What about an Earth Immortal?”

”Itʼs a pity Fellow Daoist Luo Changsong isnʼt here. Otherwise, there would be no need to worry about this, as it would guarantee a victory in advance,” lamented an Earth Immortal.

The cultivator they mentioned is revered as the number one Earth Immortal in the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm!

This title has brought him quite a bit of trouble, but all of it was easily resolved, and even in competitions, he held out for a long time against a Heavenly Immortal.

”Why not let Zhao Hongyun, whoʼs at the late stage of Earth Immortal, take the role? His strength is quite formidable.”

Why not send a Perfect Earth Immortal to fight? Because thereʼs no such candidate, and at times like these, they wouldnʼt be out and about, focusing instead on breaking through to Heavenly Immortal, generally unwilling to get involved in these karmic matters.

”Alright!”

Time flew by, and in an instant, two hours had passed.

The first bet duel unfolded.

Both sides sent in Peak of Human Immortal level contestants, with formidable auras, aiming to secure a victory in the first match and reduce pressure for subsequent duels.

Boom!

As soon as they made their moves, they launched powerful killing moves, attempting to seize the initiative.

But the consequence of this was mutual cancellation, leaving only a powerful shockwave dissipating in all directions.

Fortunately, several nearby Earth Immortals intervened, allowing the spectators to watch undisturbed.

...

”Fellow Daoist, who do you think will win?”

At some unknown point, Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang arrived nearby, hidden within the crowd to observe.

”Itʼs hard to tell right now.”

Li Zhirui kept his gaze fixed on the two, observing only their auras and cultivation, but couldnʼt deduce an answer, needing to see more of their subsequent performance.

”I have quite a bit of confidence in that blue-clothed cultivator.” Fu Chengguang had a different perspective.

”Oh?”

From certain angles, this blue-clothed cultivator with loose cultivator background indeed showed great promise, such as his precise control of Mana and grasp of timing.

But as the battle had just begun, everything was still unpredictable, leaving Li Zhirui keeping his opinions to himself without rushing to comment.

After a fierce battle, the blue-clothed cultivator gradually gained a considerable advantage, while the red-robed cultivator seemed to struggle, showing signs of difficulty.

”Seems my judgment is spot on,” Fu Chengguang remarked with a smile.

At this point, the outcome was becoming clear.

But Li Zhirui remained silent, merely shooting a meaningful look at the red-robed cultivator before curling his lips into a smile and shaking his head, saying, ”This time, Fellow Daoist might be mistaken.”

”You mean the other one will win?” Fu Chengguang was somewhat surprised, looking over but unable to understand why Li Zhirui would arrive at such a conclusion.

”Just wait a while longer, Fellow Daoist will soon see the answer.” He didnʼt state it overtly, instead preserving a sense of suspense.

”Fellow Daoist, seeing you struggle so hard, why not surrender early to avoid unnecessary injury?” The blue-clothed cultivator asked smugly.

”Victory and defeat arenʼt certain yet!” replied the beleaguered red-robed cultivator, showing no intention of conceding.

”Refusing wine, eating penalties it is! In that case, donʼt blame me for being ruthless!”

With that, the blue-clothed cultivator launched an even fiercer attack.

And his opponent grew increasingly strained, beginning to suffer injuries, with his aura becoming weak.

”Fellow Daoist, still unwilling to yield? Continue like this and it wonʼt just be light injuries!” The blue-clothed cultivator attempted verbally attacking again, trying to pressure his opponentʼs mindset.

The red-robed cultivator didnʼt reply, but judging by his reaction, it was evident he was gritting his teeth to endure.

”Good!”

Enraged by his opponentʼs attitude, whereas earlier he might have hesitated to harm him, now all reservations were abandoned.

The gap between them widened, the blue-clothed cultivatorʼs advantage becoming increasingly apparent, with victory seeming inevitable in the eyes of many.

The loose cultivators were already exclaiming and celebrating, while the Three Mysterious Sect side grew despondent.

”This shouldnʼt be! With Wang Chiʼs abilities, he shouldnʼt be performing like this!” Even those Earth Immortals who decided to send him out were puzzled.

Fu Chengguang slightly shifted, asking, ”Still think the red-robed cultivator can win, Fellow Daoist?”

”Itʼs about to begin!” A peculiar smile appeared on Li Zhiruiʼs face, a glint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Boom boom boom—

Just as his voice fell, the red-robed cultivator Wang Chi suddenly retreated, flooding out Mana like a torrent, causing the previously calm ground to erupt violently, akin to a volcanic eruption.

With a loud boom, countless massive ancient trees and vines soared into the sky, swiftly weaving into a cage trapping the blue-clothed cultivator within.

Simultaneously, the cage began to emit a terrifying aura of destruction, frightening many onlooking cultivators, even causing them to suspect that even with several Earth Immortals, they might fall into peril.

”Too terrifying! What Divine Power is this?!”

Everyone was shocked, including those Earth Immortals.

Both sidesʼ emotions reversed instantly, with loose cultivators becoming downbeat, while the other side became elated.

”Fellow Daoist, would you concede?” Wang Chi returned the words to his opponent.

”You!”

The blue-clothed cultivator gritted his teeth, his face contorting ineffectively, longing to declare he wouldnʼt surrender and keep fighting.

But trapped within this terrifying cage, he lacked the courage to speak such words.

Because his Spirit Sense was frantically warning him, if he didnʼt exit, he would surely die here!

If itʼs just severe injuries, heʼd be willing to fight on, but the outcome of demise was unacceptable to him.

”Fellow Daoist is more skilled, I concede!” After a moment of tension when Wang Chi impatiently readied to act, he uttered these words slowly.

Hearing this, Wang Chi also sighed in relief, despite the terrifying power of his Divine Power making it hard to control well with his current cultivation level.

In his current state, he couldnʼt rapidly escape dozens of miles, hence unable to ensure his safety.

Thus, the opponentʼs concession was optimal, avoiding severe personal injuries.

He cautiously dispelled his self-created Secret Technique, and once most of the ancient trees and vines vanished, his heart could finally rest since no further dangerous situations would surface.

”The first round of dueling! Wang Chi wins!”

Both sidesʼ Earth Immortals announced the result simultaneously.

However, observing their current conditions, the victor Wang Chi was in tatters, bloodstained, while the defeated blue-clothed cultivator appeared healthier, with no visible injuries.

Expressionlessly, he swiftly departed, unwilling to stay and face disgrace, nor wish to see those questioning, disdainful gazes.
