He coldly looked at Li Yi: "The title of champion is yours. But on the path of cultivation, a moment’s lead is inevitable - in life and death, we are equal. We shall have a long future ahead!"
With that, he too turned around.
Not until this moment, when Jiang Wang, who had walked to Cao Jie’s side below the Arena, finally began to taste the flavor of the situation.
Is Ji Zhaonan afraid of death?
Is Ji Zhaonan afraid of losing face?
Neither.
Standing on the Guanhe Platform, representing Qi Country in the Yellow River Gathering, what he had to consider first was the interest of Qi Country.
Thus, he left a promise for the future and chose to leave the field first.
Just like Murong Longque at this moment.
It has always been said that the Yellow River Gathering is another form of warfare. The field on the Arena is also a battlefield.
But Murong Longque is now stressing that a battlefield is a battlefield, and the Arena is the Arena; he is trying to erase the impression of "Jinguo’s might overshadowing the world."
No matter what, it must not come to pass that Li Yi is besieged on the platform.
With so many proud heavens present, if they really went on stage to besiege Li Yi,
it would be akin to the whole world joining forces against Jinguo.
Jinguo’s defeat is also a victory, a victory with unparalleled momentum!
Murong Longque also chose to withdraw from the competition, telling the world that Li Yi’s strength is his own, merely one step ahead on the cultivation path. Jinguo, on this occasion, has merely won a champion’s title, no different in essence from that of Qi Country.
Li Yi, or rather what Li Yi represents - Jinguo, is cultivating an overwhelming trend.
And Ji Zhaonan and Murong Longque, both refuse it!
"Sigh." Ye Laner from Chuguo let out a sigh, almost breaking the hearts of those who heard it.
She gracefully stood up: "Ye Laner has deeply disappointed the Emperor’s grace, and there’s nothing to be said. Jinguo wins the title with Taixu, I shall excuse myself from the feast!"
And she too turned to leave.
Huang Buxi finally finished counting his fingers, paused for a moment, vacantly said, "I have no luck in this."
Looking even more senile, he slowly left his seat and departed.
As for Cang Ming, known as the Current World Divine Envoy, he withdrew his gesture of pilgrimage and departed without a word.
The Golden Crown Priest Namo Duo announced on behalf of everyone: "Mugu withdraws from this match. Jinguo forfeited two rounds, so we too shall forfeit one, as a proper resolution!"
His expression was sacred, his tone generous.
Even Zhongxuan Sheng, having exited the Law of Heaven and Earth, couldn’t help but marvel. frёewebηovel.cѳm
To think that Zhongxuan Sheng’s thick skin was not weaker, but he did not dare to display such shamelessness at the Yellow River Gathering. It could only be said that the God of Cangtu’s divine light shone impressively!
Observe how Namo Duo framed it, making it seem as if Mugu were much stronger than Jinguo.
Yet, those from Jinguo could hardly rebuke, even though it was different in nature, even though Jinguo forfeited twice precisely to build up their momentum, to tip the balance with one match...
But in truth, forfeiting twice indeed counts more than just one...
The five Overlord Countries yield the unlimited champion title without restrictions.
Indeed, it is Li Yi’s Dongzhen Cultivation, unmatched under the age of thirty, but it also holds the meaning of "We won’t play this game with you."
Li Yi made no comment regarding this.
With the departure of the proud from the Overlord Countries, the notion of being besieged naturally no longer stands.
Chen Si Wu of Song Country is sitting with a straightened posture.
He had earlier put on his coronet, prepared to face death.
But after the departure of several Overlord Country heirs, his face showed a smile, and he said leisurely: "Taixu Real Person naturally deserves the title. I am convinced in heart and speech, I shall now observe from below and celebrate this glorious moment!"
This was also an admission of defeat.
Now only Zhang Xun from Dan Country remained.
This person could be said to be the least expected to succeed in the unrestricted category, having entered the main competition with difficulty.
Yet, it is precisely he who bears fighting intent.
Just as Li Yi said before.
At this moment, if he can endure one sword strike... Dan Country will seize the champion’s title!
The other Overlord Countries, of course, disdain to compete for the title in such a manner, and the unparalleled proud heirs would not aim to stand a single sword strike as their goal to ascend the platform.
But for Dan Country... the temptation is too great!
It is nearly a leap like that of Fish passing through Dragon’s Gate!
Zhang Xun clenched his teeth...
"Zhang Xun!" The State Minister of Dan Country, Fei Nanhua looked at him and shook his head.
Zhang Xun fell silent for a long while, the fighting spirit in his eyes finally faded away.
Fei Nanhua turned his head towards the Arena: "Not yet at the age of thirty but already close to the Insight of Truth. Taixu Real Person deserves the title! Our Dan Country’s proud heaven also chooses to admit defeat."
If Jiang Wang created the fastest victory record in the history of the Yellow River Gathering,
then Taixu Real Person, Li Yi, not only refreshed this record but also created the history’s fastest record of claiming the champion’s title.
Garbed in white, he arrived alone; deities from Various Countries retreated!
Compared to God Arrives, Dongzhen indeed represents an insurmountable gap, a crushing difference.
The six supreme beings have not expressed their opinions, and no one else on the scene has the qualification to speak. Yu Xi surveyed the crowd and then announced: "The unrestricted champion’s title is won by Jinguo’s Li Yi!"
People of the Jing Nation, who have been suppressed for several days, naturally cheered.
Taixu Real Person emerged dominantly, overwhelming everyone, snatching the title without swinging his sword.
This legend will surely be etched into history, and People of the Jing Nation take pride in it.
Only Li Yi himself, standing on the Arena at this moment, remains calm. There’s almost no emotion visible in his eyes, as if all this is irrelevant to him.
He stands at the center of the present world but is as if alone outside of it.
Below the Arena, Jiang Wang suddenly recalled back at Huanzhen Temple, after Gongyang Bai, Mo Jingyu, and others had left, the faint "bang" that softly came from Li Yi’s mouth.
He felt his loneliness.
Xian Nankui coughed once, then said: "Li Yi! Raise our Great Scenery’s flag for us!"
Similar to what Cao Jie did earlier, he held a flag with both hands, stepping towards the front of the platform.
