Chapter 670: 753 The battle of life and death begins
This night, Chen Mo didn’t go astray.
Instead, he simulated in advance, confirming that this simulation was similar to the previous ones, noting that Feng Hao’s trump card was only the secret technique of the Blood Burning Skill. Only then did Chen Mo feel at ease.
When life is at stake, it’s better to be cautious.
After the simulation, Chen Mo also cultivated the Blood Burning Skill.
In a desperate situation, it could also be used as a trump card.
It was an uneventful night.
The next day, Chen Mo, accompanied by several women, arrived at the square early.
The vast square was already a sea of people, the atmosphere was boiling. After all, today was the last day of the Outer Sect Disciple Tournament, and the champion would emerge today. So, they came early to secure a good spot for better viewing.
As time slipped by, more and more people arrived, with Inner Sect disciples attending in greater numbers than the previous day.
Almost all the Outer Sect elders were present, except for a few who were busy with other matters.
"Dang!"
A crisp and loud bell echoed throughout the Outer Sect, announcing the official start of today’s matches.
Numerous eyes, filled with eagerness, gazed at the arena, waiting for the thrilling battle to win the championship.
In the audience, Xiao Jiu transmitted a message to Chen Mo: "Master, if I go up against Feng Hao, I’ll definitely give him a good beating for you."
Chen Mo patted her head and smiled.
According to the simulation, Xiao Jiu wouldn’t face him. In the semifinals, it would be him against Feng Hao.
But he didn’t dismiss Xiao Jiu’s goodwill, saying, "I’ll count on you then."
"Hmm." Xiao Jiu earnestly waved her fists.
The way Chen Mo doted on Xiao Jiu made Nangong Yue quite envious.
So, when Chen Mo continued to call her Nangong Yue Miss,
Nangong Yue said, "You always call me Nangong Yue Miss. It sounds odd... Just call me Xiao Yue, that’s my nickname, even my sister calls me that."
Chen Mo was momentarily taken aback, then nodded as it was just a form of address.
Seeing Chen Mo nod, a trace of joy appeared on Nangong Yue’s face, and she said, "You’re a few years older than me, if you don’t mind, I’ll call you... Brother Chen Mo, how about that?"
Chen Mo was indifferent: "Whatever you like."
"As long as I like..."
For Nangong Yue, who had never been in a romantic relationship or had close contact with any man, Chen Mo’s casual words sparked some fantasies, making her blush as she softly said, "Brother Chen Mo..."
"Xiao Yue." Chen Mo smiled and said.
Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing exchanged a glance and then both rolled their eyes at Chen Mo.
He seemed no different from flirting with Nangong Yue now.
If the two women had been with Chen Mo in his previous life, they would have surely cursed a few words, calling him a scumbag or a big pig’s trotter...
Today’s matches didn’t require a draw like yesterday.
Because the number of qualifiers had dropped below two hundred.
Last night, the elders had already arranged the opponents for the advanced disciples.
So today, the contestants just needed to hear the elders call out their names and then take the stage.
Just like yesterday’s match with Li Yu, Chen Mo continued to hold back in the early rounds, right up until the afternoon’s quarterfinals.
Soon, the top four were announced.
Feng Hao, Chen Mo, Xiao Jiu, Liu Bai.
Liu Bai, who was only in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, made it to the top four largely due to luck.
After all, the stronger Outer Sect disciples were all assigned to deal with Chen Mo.
Liu Bai effectively picked up a loophole.
Just like in the simulation, in the upcoming draws, Chen Mo faced Feng Hao, while Xiao Jiu faced Liu Bai.
Chen Mo vs. Feng Hao would begin first.
The atmosphere in the arena undoubtedly reached a fever pitch, after the previous two days of combat, everyone was eager to see Chen Mo confront Feng Hao.
And now, it was finally happening.
Some informed disciples knew that this battle was likely to result in death.
Before the Outer Sect Disciple Tournament began, there were rumors that Feng Hao intended to cripple Chen Mo.
And the targeted actions of the past two days didn’t go unnoticed by the others.
This rumor was thus confirmed.
Moreover, one was the strongest among the Outer Sect disciples.
The other possessed the weakest constitution but had surprisingly strong capabilities, like a freak,
The battle between these two filled everyone with anticipation.
Even Kong Qianchi, upon hearing the rumors, did not intervene.
Because he wanted to see what kind of scene this clash would create.
Finally, amid the much-anticipated excitement, Feng Hao moved first, stepping onto the square. His eyes were cold as he watched Chen Mo in the audience, his lips curling slightly, showing a hint of impatience.
Once he killed Chen Mo, he could use the incident to climb aboard Senior Brother Long Xiaoyao’s big ship.
Though Feng Hao currently stood as the strongest among the Outer Sect disciples, his talent was mediocre, and he achieved this rank entirely through endurance.
Because those stronger among the Outer Sect disciples had already entered the Inner Sect ahead of him.
And those with more talent than him, whose strength surpassed his, had naturally entered the Inner Sect as well, leaving behind those whose strength didn’t meet the Inner Sect’s standards.
After all, unless you possessed an Immortal Body,
You must reach the Golden Core Realm to enter the Inner Sect, regardless of your constitution.
Of course, having connections was an exception.
So, only by attaching himself to a Direct Disciple could he gradually become stronger.
And Chen Mo’s life was his pledge of allegiance.
Chen Mo also noticed Feng Hao’s sinister smile, but he was a bit impatient.
Today’s outcome consisted of only two possibilities.
And that was either he kills him or he kills him.
"Be careful," the women were unaware of the outcome, and since Feng Hao was in the Golden Core Realm, they were faintly worried and advised Chen Mo to be cautious.
"I’ve got it under control."
Chen Mo leaped into the square.
"I’ve waited a long time for this day," Feng Hao said icily, looking at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo didn’t intend to waste words, turning to the elder beside him and said, "Let’s start."
Feng Hao couldn’t help but smirk, saying, "In such a hurry to die?"
The elder slowly raised his palm and then suddenly dropped it: "Begin!"
Bang!
The moment the elder’s palm fell, both of them almost simultaneously erupted with powerful True Qi.
Swish!
After a brief icy stare, they simultaneously dashed forward, neither dodging, colliding head-on like two raging bulls.
Bang!
At the moment of impact, the array beneath their feet protecting the square lit up brightly, a strong shock wave spreading outwards. Just as it was about to reach the audience, the space around the square rippled, with golden runes flashing and blocking the shock wave.
With the protection of the array, no matter how violent the battle got in the square, it wouldn’t affect the audience and the disciples seated there.
