Free Web NovelChapter 1776: Chapter 1643: Racing to Kill, a Slaughter Game!
On the border line between the Human Race and the Demon Clan, the River of Elements lay like a natural chasm across the center.
At this moment, a gigantic Wheel of Destiny was slowly rotating in the sky above the River of Elements, bringing a sense of endless oppression.
From the moment Ye Fan and the others infused their aura into the wheel, they entrusted their fate to the mysterious Heavenly Dao.
In this moment, the atmosphere was oppressively intense, almost suffocating.
The border fell into a brief silence, with both the Human Race and the Demon Clan waiting, anticipating the eruption of the next great battle!
Suddenly, the Wheel of Destiny began to accelerate, spinning faster and faster, and it emitted rays more intense than the sun, making it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.
After a full quarter of an hour, the Wheel of Destiny gradually slowed down, and its light retracted. The figures of Ye Fan and the ten young elites from the Demon Clan reappeared within the wheel.
"Sss!"
A flash of Mystic Light descended from the Wheel of Destiny and landed on a young man in the Demon Clan clad in silver armor.
Instantly, a gentle light erupted from the young man, proclaiming to all that he was the first to appear.
This was a descendant of the White Tiger Clan, whose cultivation was at the realm of a Two-star Demon, undoubtedly a mighty genius!
Even within the entire Demon Clan, his prowess ranked him in the top ten among the younger generation.
The White Tiger Clan was one of the Imperial Families among the numerous branches of the Demon Clan, known as advocates for war, always promoting direct battle to trample the Human Race underfoot.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing that he was the first to appear, this Two-star Demon from the White Tiger Clan burst into laughter, a black "King" character faintly appearing on his forehead, his eyes full of ferocity.
"Fortune indeed, I never imagined I would be the first to appear. Who’s my opponent? Tremble, pray!"
The White Tiger Demon laughed heartily as he strode onto the Holy War Platform, his venomous gaze sweeping over Ye Fan and the others.
As the strongest descendant of the White Tiger Clan, clad in silver armor, his hands resembled tiger claws—sharp and elongated, reflecting a faint light in the sunlight, appearing extremely fierce.
On the Human Race’s side, everyone’s heart sank, for the chosen one was indeed Gu Xiao, the strongest heir of the Gu Family...
Among the ten selected, Gu Xiao was the weakest. Even after a year of seclusion in the Emperor’s Secret Realm, his power still couldn’t compare to the others.
Everyone knew that the White Tiger Clan was certainly an Imperial Family in the Demon Clan, possessing a strong body, and their Bloodline Power was not inferior to that of the Imperial Family.
Though Gu Xiao was the strongest heir of the Ancient Emperor Family, facing the strongest heir of the White Tiger Clan, his hope was truly slim.
Gu Xiao hadn’t expected the Wheel of Destiny to choose him first and was filled with bitterness.
He also knew he was the weakest among the ten and originally thought that the randomness of the Wheel of Destiny wouldn’t choose him first.
But fate played a colossal joke on him, selecting him first, with the opponent being an heir of the Imperial Family of the Demon Clan.
His expression was seen clearly by Bai Zhanbiao, the strongest heir of the White Tiger Clan, who roared with laughter.
"If you’re afraid, you can concede. I won’t kill you, but you have to kneel before me and call me grandfather three times." Bai Zhanbiao sneered.
"You..."
Many young cultivators of the Human Race were seething with anger. This was too humiliating. Anyone with a shred of pride couldn’t swallow this!
"Courting death!"
Provoked, Gu Xiao roared and attacked directly, his Ancient Emperor Fist shattering the void as it aimed at Bai Zhanbiao’s face.
"Clang!"
Bai Zhanbiao disdainfully swung his tiger claws to intercept Gu Xiao’s fist, producing a sound like clashing metals.
Swoosh!
Immediately, Bai Zhanbiao struck like lightning, his tiger claws shooting out sharp claw light like swords towards Gu Xiao’s chest.
The crowd couldn’t help but be moved. Though Bai Zhanbiao was arrogant, he indeed had the power to back it up; his strength was utterly terrifying. Without employing any Divine Power Martial Techniques, he was forcing Gu Xiao to struggle purely with his physical prowess.
"Although the White Tiger Clan has never produced a Demon Emperor, they should not be underestimated, ranking among the top ten Imperial Families of the Demon Clan. Aside from the Demon Emperor Family, few clans can stand above them."
Despite their worries, people were discussing variously.
The great battle erupted, with Gu Xiao using all his abilities, employing Divine Skills, Martial Arts, and Secret Techniques endlessly, yet he was still at a disadvantage.
The more they fought, the more shocked Gu Xiao became. Bai Zhanbiao was too strong, each blow felt immensely life-threatening, forcing him to exert every effort to evade.
After several hundred moves, Gu Xiao’s disadvantage became increasingly apparent, and the crowd’s hearts rose as it became obvious that Gu Xiao could barely hold on.
Bai Zhanbiao was too composed; from the beginning of the fight, he only occasionally used his Innate Divine Ability, with the "King" character on his forehead twisting towards Gu Xiao. The rest of the time was spent using the most basic martial arts against Gu Xiao, hardly using Divine Power at all.
His body was exceedingly formidable, coupled with Innate Divine Strength, forcing Gu Xiao into defense without even using much Divine Power, making him roar repeatedly.
As the strongest heir of the White Tiger Clan within the Demon Clan, Bai Zhanbiao’s talent was undoubtedly the best, his body extraordinarily tough. Gu Xiao repeatedly used the Ancient Emperor Secret Technique on him, yet it only produced a string of sparks, unable to harm him.
In contrast, even a slight nudge from Bai Zhanbiao’s Punch Ray caused Gu Xiao to cough up blood; the two were simply on completely different levels.
The longer the battle continued, the more Gu Xiao’s heart sank. He realized he was no match for Bai Zhanbiao. His opponent hadn’t even aimed to kill him yet, clearly playing a cat-and-mouse game. This left him both frustrated and helpless.
"Roar~"
As the battle reached three hundred moves, Bai Zhanbiao suddenly let out a great roar. The rolling sound wave resounded through the Holy War Platform, instantly destabilizing Gu Xiao’s Divine Soul.
"Not good!"
Gu Xiao exclaimed in his heart, quickly retreating, hoping to avoid disaster.
However—
It was already too late!
After battling Gu Xiao three hundred rounds, Bai Zhanbiao had already grasped his strength clearly, and only after growing bored did he suddenly make his move, leaving no room for escape.
To Bai Zhanbiao, slaying a strong person of the Human Race would greatly boost the morale of the Demon Clan; he wanted to remain on the platform, defeat the entire young generation of the Human Race, and forge his own undefeated legend!
As a Great Demon aspiring to the Emperor Dao, he certainly wouldn’t be satisfied with such a victory.
In his eyes, Gu Xiao was simply insignificant; if not for familiarizing himself with human combat methods, he wouldn’t have bothered wasting so much time!
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Bai Zhanbiao’s claws instantly transformed into complete tiger claw shapes, sharp talons shooting out, emitting rays of death, tearing through the void.
This is the White Tiger Clan’s supreme skill; when cultivated to a profound realm, the claws can crush large stars and rip open the heavens.
"No..."
Gu Xiao was horrified, facing an unprecedented crisis, retreating continuously, both fists surging forward, deploying the Ancient Emperor Secret Techniques to fend against the deadly tiger claws.
The hearts of the Gu Family members were in their throats; Gu Xiao was their future hope, and nothing could be allowed to go wrong.
However—
The current situation cast a foreboding shadow over their hearts; Bai Zhanbiao clearly intended not to let Gu Xiao leave the battle stage alive.
"It ends here, finish it!"
Bai Zhanbiao’s cold voice rang in Gu Xiao’s ears, shocking him into a tremble, slowing his hands by half a beat.
"No... Ah..."
A short scream sounded, then the battlefield gradually quieted, all light vanished.
No miracle occurred; Gu Xiao was defeated and tragically died, torn to pieces by Bai Zhanbiao’s pair of tiger claws, blood splattering across the platform, limbs scattered everywhere, even the Divine Soul was obliterated!
"No!"
The Gu Family members cried out in anguish, eyes about to burst.
Gu Xiao, apart from the Ancient Immortal, was the future hope of the Gu Family, now fallen on this battlefield, dying without an intact corpse.
"Gu Xiao..."
Ancient Immortal closed his eyes in pain; though he was selfish at heart, he was quite fond of this talented junior, otherwise he wouldn’t have passed on some forbidden Ancient Emperor Secret Techniques.
At this moment, Gu Xiao was slain on the battlefield, filling his heart with intense killing intent.
Furthermore, nearly everyone mourned for Gu Xiao’s death.
Only, no one knew that in the moment before death, Gu Xiao wished to concede to preserve his life, but unfortunately Bai Zhanbiao didn’t grant him that chance, making him a passive hero of the Human Race.
"By the rules, as the victor, I can remain on the battlefield; the next one, come up and meet your end!"
Bai Zhanbiao patted his clothes, speaking dominantly.
Immediately, his gaze swept towards Ye Fan and others, indifferently saying: "Are the Human Race all like this? So weak, I hope the next one is stronger, don’t let me down again."
"You..."
Human Race was almost infuriated; a minor demon of the White Tiger Clan dared to humiliate the Human Race like this; it’s unbearable!
At this moment, many wished to immediately step onto the Holy War Platform, crush him under their palms, avenge Gu Xiao, and raise the prestige of the Human Race.
Yet, the rules were set, irreversible; these people could only bear the humiliation, hoping someone would defeat the Demon Clan and relieve their shame.
"Brother Bai, you can’t hog all the fun; share some with us, otherwise, if you kill all these ants alone, what do we play?"
A young Great Demon, descendant of an Imperial Family of the Demon Clan, shouted loudly.
"Exactly, you’ve already killed one ant, get off the stage, let us have a chance!"
The other eight selected young demon geniuses echoed, showing no regard for the young Human Race geniuses.
"This ant is too weak, no challenge at all; I’ll kill one more, leaving the rest to you. Okay?"
Bai Zhanbiao laughed loudly in response, seemingly treating this tournament as a slaughter game.
Not only him, but the other demons were similarly relaxed, laughing, not taking this competition seriously, entirely treating it as a game of slaughter, while Ye Fan and others were helpless lambs!
"Boom~"
Just then, the Wheel of Destiny in the sky began to spin again, its faint shine dissolving down, seemingly choosing an opponent for Bai Zhanbiao.
Bai Zhanbiao’s excited eyes lit up, determined to crush the next opponent with absolute strength and begin his undefeated legend!
