Chapter 757

The Battle of the Seeded Contestants

"I can't believe I met Jiang Lanyue!"

Huang Lingtian smiled wryly. If there was one contestant he didn't want to meet, it would be Jiang Lanyue. He was definitely in the top three, maybe even first!

Xuan Hengdao, Mu Qingshuang, and the others were strong, but they knew a little about their opponents. However, he knew nothing about Jiang Lanyue. He had no idea what his opponent's bottom line was.

No one would want to encounter such a powerful and mysterious opponent. However, he was so unlucky as to have drawn Jiang Lanyue as his opponent.

"What a pity! Huang Lingtian might not be able to get into the top ten, but he should have no problem getting into the top twenty. Now, he'll have to stop at the top forty. "

The surrounding people all shook their heads. Huang Lingtian's strength could at most be considered to be pretty good. However, he could not even be considered to be a seeded participant. Compared to Jiang Lanyue, who was the favorite to win, it was completely clear who would win and who would lose.

And the reality was just as everyone had expected. In a single move, Huang Lingtian had been defeated by Jiang Lanyue!

In this battle, the strength that Jiang Lanyue had displayed had once again caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. Even Huang Lingtian had been instantly killed in a single move. Such strength was truly too terrifying!

Of all the contestants, only the favorites like Xuan Hengdao and Mu Qingshuang could fight Jiang Lanyue. As for the others, they were probably just giving away points.

The third battle was between Yuan Chi of the Western Pure Land and Can Jiubian of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect.

The Heavenly Silkworm Sect was an extremely powerful hidden faction. It had very few successors, only a few dozen in each generation, and every one of them was a genius.

The greatest characteristic of this faction's successors was their tenacity and tenacity. Even if they were stronger than their peers, they would still be dragged to death.

As for Fate Addict, he also belonged to the type of sect that was extremely tenacious. When the two of them fought, their styles were similar. It all depended on who had more endurance and tenacity.

"Nine Revolutions Heavenly Silkworm Technique!"

Silkworm Nine Transformations used the Heavenly Silkworm Sect's ultimate technique the moment he stepped onto the stage. A strange aura surrounded him, wrapping him up like a cocoon.

Then, he attacked Yuan Chi. He moved his hands and strands of golden silk shot out from his fingers. In the blink of an eye, there were tens of thousands of strands, forming an airtight net that enveloped Yuan Chi.

"Zhang Six Golden Body!"

Dazzling golden halos appeared behind Yuan Chi's head. They fluttered backward and formed a golden body that was six feet tall. It was as if his entire body was cast from gold and was extremely dazzling.

He took a step forward and struck out with his palm. Behind him, the six-meter-tall golden body moved in sync with him. Its two palms glowed with brilliant golden light as they collided with Silkworm Nine Transformations.

Rumble!

The battle between the two lasted for two hours. In the end, it was Yuan Chi who was stronger and defeated Can Jiubian.

"I didn't lose unjustly!"

After his defeat, Can Jiubian was more carefree than anyone else. He shook his head, flashed, and directly left the arena. He had calmly accepted his defeat.

Next, Xuan Heng Dao, Mu Qingshuang, and the other seeded contestants fought. Without exception, they all defeated their opponents and advanced to the top twenty.

The twelfth battle was between Di Yu and the other young god of the Eastern Divine Court, Hao Hui.

"Chaotic Nine-Star Sword!"

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Di Yu didn't say a word and attacked directly.

He reached out and the nine black holes behind him formed a line in front of him, forming a long sword. He swung the sword and a jet of black sword qi swept toward Hao Hui.

"Sun Rises from the East!"

Hao Hui roared. He stretched out his hands in opposite directions and pulled out a dazzling golden light. Then, the golden light expanded rapidly and formed a golden ball. It was like a rising sun that scattered light in all directions.

Boom!

When the sword qi fell, the golden ball immediately shattered. Hao Hui's expression changed and he sped up his movements. He pulled out several golden balls in succession and finally blocked the sword.

"It's useless. Lose!"

A cold smile of disdain appeared on Di Yu's face. He took a step forward, and in his right hand, a sword formed from nine black holes appeared. Black light gushed forth as the sword instantly expanded by ten times, resembling a flood dragon emerging from the sea as it slashed down towards Hao Hui!

Bang!

In an instant, the Protective True Yuan collapsed. Hao Hui groaned and was sent flying. He had been defeated.

Di Yu at his peak state was far from comparable to his clone. Just this move alone was enough for him to enter the top ten of the Martial Competition.

In the next battle, the mysterious black-robed young man, Gu Sansheng, stepped onto the stage again.

This battle was almost a replica of the previous one. Just like before, he only took a glance before his opponent fell head first and was defeated directly.

Such a strange and powerful technique shocked everyone, making them even more fearful of Gu San Sheng.

Everyone could see that Gu Sansheng had used a special eye technique. However, no one could tell what kind of special eye it was. There was nothing like it in the top ten special eyes.

The only thing they could be sure of was that Gu Sansheng definitely had the strength to fight for the championship. Like Xuan Hengdao, Mu Qingshuang, and Jiang Lanyue, he was one of the top experts in this competition.

After that, Gu Sha, Ming Hua, and the others also won. The last battle was between Yuan Mo and a lone martial artist.

As a rogue cultivator, it was extremely difficult for him to reach this stage. Unfortunately, compared to Yuan Mo, there was still a huge gap between his strength and Yuan Mo's. After a few rounds, he was defeated.

With the outcome of this battle, the top twenty of the top forty competition was completely over.

After this round of the competition, other than Lin Yu, there were no other martial artists below the Emperor Realm. The remaining nineteen people were all Emperor Realm powerhouses and were not comparable to ordinary rank one Emperor Realm powerhouses.

All the seeded contestants advanced as expected. Although there were unexpected eliminations like Huang Lingtian and Hao Hui, it was still within everyone's expectations.

However, no one dared to make any predictions about the next round of the elimination round.

This was because only ten people could stand out in the last round of the competition and advance to the finals. At this stage, even the seeded contestants would inevitably meet each other.

In this round of the competition, no one had absolute confidence in advancing. Even powerhouses like Xuan Hengdao, Jiang Lanyue, and Mu Qingshuang could not guarantee that they would advance.
