Chapter 4678 Everyone Is Surprised

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After exchanging greetings with Jiang Hai Shan, Yu Hao, the divine monk, looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked with a smile, "I'm not familiar with this person. Lord Hai Shan, care to introduce him to me?"

Jiang Hai Shan said, "This is Duan Ling Tian, a new powerhouse in our Surging River Divine Kingdom."

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Yu Hao briefly and nodded slightly; his response was rather indifferent. In his opinion, he came here not to make friends but to help the Surging River Divine Kingdom win the Dao Merging tablet.

"I know the other three people with you," Yu Hao said to Jiang Hai Shan before he turned to Duan Ling Tian and continued to say, "Duan Ling Tian, these are the four members of the Temple of the Bitter Sea who'll be participating in the Dao Establishment Competition…"

Yu Hao introduced the members of the Temple of the Bitter Sea to Duan Ling Tia. With this, Duan Ling Tian also learned the names of the other four people. After the introduction, he received a Voice Transmission from Hong Dong Chuan, telling him that the thin and frail elder holding a staff was known as Elder Chui. He learned that the other party was the ace from the Temple of the Bitter Sea and that the other party was even stronger than Hong Dong Chuan.

"Lord Hai Shan, shall we begin?" Yu Hao asked with a smile.

Prior to this, both sides had already met and confirmed the rewards, excluding the Dao Merging tablet, presented by both sides. Since the arrangements had all been made, the battle could start directly.

"Very well," Jiang Hai Shan replied with a nod. Their main purpose this time was to compete for the Dao Merging table after all. The sooner this was done, the better it would be.

"Alright, let's begin then," Yu Hao said with a nod. He turned to look at the black-clad burly man next to him and said, "Ta Ye, you go first."

"Yes, Divine Monk Yu Hao!" Ta Ye, the black-clad burly man, replied. He seemed very deferential when he spoke with Yu Hao, but as soon as he stepped into the arena, his demeanor changed immediately.

Ta Ye swept his gaze across the group of people from the Surging River Divine Kingdom before his gaze finally landed on Duan Ling Tian. He asked provocatively, "Pretty boy, do you want to fight me first?"

Ta Ye was a former monk of the Temple of the Bitter Sea. After leaving the temple, he formed his own force and was now one of the prominent figures in the Temple of the Bitter Sea, a level-eight Dao Establishment powerhouse. He was not any weaker than Hong Dong Chuan.

In fact, Ta Ye's provocation was just a smokescreen. He knew very well that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than him. Not only that, but he also knew that Duan Ling Tian was the Surging River Divine Kingdom's hidden ace and would fight with their temple's Elder Chui.

Naturally, there was no reason for Duan Ling Tian to join the battle so soon.

Before Duan Ling Tian could respond, Hong Dong Chuan scoffed and said, "Ta Ye, you're overestimating yourself too much. You're not strong enough to fight Brother Duan."

Ta Ye feigned surprise and asked, "Are you saying that he's stronger than you?"

"Of course," Hong Dong Chuan replied indifferently.

At this moment, Hua Ruo, who represented the Surging River Divine Kingdom, stepped forward. She looked at Ta Ye and calmly said, "Ta Ye, previously I lost to you by a hair's breadth. This time, I'm going to redeem myself."

Ta Ye laughed. "Hua Ruo, based on your words, it seems like you've made progress in the past 1,000 years. Alas, you're too naive. Do you think you're the only one who improved over the past 1,000 years? I hope that your words aren't just pretty words and that you back them up." freeweb. com

Without wasting time, Ta Ye attacked Hua Ruo, unleashing a storm of saber rays.

Hua Ruo was already prepared for this, and her energy surged out immediately to meet Ta Ye's powerful attack.

The rules of the Dao Establishment were quite simple. Two participants would fight, and the winner could choose to continue fighting and step down and wait for the next opponent. In theory, if one was strong enough to defeat all the opponents, one could fight consecutively and secure the win without needing the other participants to fight.

Boom!

The battle raged on.

Ta Ye comprehended the Saber Dao while Hua Ruo cultivated a Dao that Duan Ling Tian had never seen before, the Flower Dao. When she attacked, her energy scattered like flowers, creating a beautiful sight. However, the beauty hid deadly killing intent. She easily and swiftly dealt with Ta Ye's attacks, gaining the upper hand in a few dozen moves.

Bang!

In the end, Hua Ruo emerged victorious. She was slightly injured from the battle.

On the contrary, Ta Ye's injuries were rather serious. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he glared at Hua Ruo. He did not expect to be defeated by someone who was once weaker than him.

At this time, Hua Ruo looked at Jiang Hai Shan and said apologetically, "Lord Jiang, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the next match."

Jiang Hai Shan said with a smile, "It's fine. You've won a match, and that's a significant contribution."

"Congratulations, Lord Hai Shan. The Surging River Divine Kingdom truly has many hidden talents," Yu Hao, the divine monk, said with a smile. He did not seem concerned about the loss. It seemed like he was confident the loss would not affect their chances of winning. Moreover, the pressure on the Temple of the Bitter Sea was not as heavy as that of the Surging River Divine Kingdom. After all, the temple currently had two Dao Merging tablets while the Surging River Divine Kingdom only had one.

At this moment, a man, who looked like a scholar, stepped forward. His name was Han Zheng. He was the leader of an organization that had a hand in all kinds of businesses, which included assassination business and intelligence operations. He asked, "Xiao Zhen Nan, would you like to fight me?"

"Yes. I don't know how well I'll fare, but I'll give my best," Xiao Zhen Nan replied.

In fewer than thirty moves, Xiao Zhen Nan was defeated by Han Zheng.

Han Zheng was uninjured so he decided to continue the fight.

Hong Dong Chuan stepped forward to fight next. He narrowly won against Han Zheng and sustained injuries. As such, he could not continue to fight.

At this point, the Surging River Divine Kingdom seemed to be at a disadvantage. On the Surging River Divine Kingdom's side, only Duan Ling Tian and Jiang Hai Shan had yet to fight, but the Temple of the Bitter Sea still had three participants who had yet to fight.

At this time, an old man with white hair holding a staff entered the arena. He was Elder Chui. Although his eyes were usually turbid, at this moment, they shone with a cold light. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said indifferently, "Duan Ling Tian, I heard you easily defeated Hong Dong Chuan in the past. I want to witness your ability today!"

Duan Ling Tian did not respond and only raised an eyebrow.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, a figure flew into the arena, surprising everyone. It was none other than Jiang Hai Shan, the Surging River Divine Kingdom's level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse.
