Chapter 1086: Chapter 1024: One Against Nine, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Emerges!_2
"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
"I'm done, this freaking dumbass teammate got us screwed over."
"Boom——"
The golden staff shadow finally fell.
"Disperse."
A voice rang out, and at the last moment, the shadow of the staff dissipated, but the tumultuous momentum it carried directly crushed the nine people to the ground. Immediately, they went limp, prostrate on the ground, with all Ancient Spirits scattered.
It was only then that the referee managed to rush to the arena, standing beside the nine, his eyes filled with shock.
He knew that if Luo Yu hadn't voluntarily dissipated the power of the staff at the last moment, these nine would have definitely been ruined, with no time to rescue them.
At that moment, the referee couldn't help but feel like crying.
It was just too hard for him.
He was just at the Fifth Rank Peak, not that impressive at all; why did he have to encounter such a monster joining the competition?
Let alone saving people, he seriously doubted if he'd survive Luo Yu's attack if he took it head-on.
The spectators were deathly silent at this time, all with their mouths agape, shocked by the scene before them, as if the grand staff shadow still flickered in their eyes.
That glorious, weighty staff strike was too terrifying, too frightening.
Of course, the main point was, was that the appearance behind Godchild Luo Yu... Could it really be that he was able to use the divine power and secret techniques of that legendary figure so quickly?
By this time, Luo Yu had already reined in his aura, and aside from his outrageously handsome looks, he seemed no different from an ordinary person. He didn't mock, didn't even spare those nine people another glance, and simply said:
"Referee, can you announce the end now?"
"Yes!"
The referee snapped out of his daze, remembering his duties, and announced loudly with a megaphone:
"I declare! In the second group match, contestant Luo Yu is victorious and advances!"
The entire audience of tens of thousands instantly erupted.
"God's Child is awesome!"
"Divine Child is mighty!!!"
"That was brutal, was that the Great Saint he summoned just now?"
"Holy shit, I'm so pumped, just came to watch a match, but to actually get a glimpse of the legendary Great Sage Equal to Heaven, what a steal."
"So terrifying, with such a Divine Child, who can fight him?"
Most of the audience was excited and overjoyed, but the contestants were crying.
Those nine on the field still lay prone on the ground, not daring to stand up, afraid that Luo Yu might hit them again with his staff on a whim.
A moment ago, they were saying their goodbyes to their moms in their hearts, thinking they were about to set sail for the Underworld.
But Luo Yu had let them off at the last second, not really taking it seriously, else they'd all be meeting Yama now.
They were clear, if Luo Yu really killed them by accident, no one would seek justice for them.
God's Child Luo Yu had both power and backing. Moreover, it was one of them who first sought a beating, sought education; if they got beaten to death, wouldn't they deserve it?
Only when Luo Yu left the stage did they dare to struggle up from the ground. Losing face was no longer important; what mattered was that they had survived a calamity.
Eight of them, after getting up, simultaneously looked at the contestant who demanded Luo Yu to summon the Ancient Spirits.
For a moment, their eyes turned red.
They didn't leave the stage immediately but rushed up together and began a group beatdown on the contestant, punching and kicking without holding back.
"Damn it, that's for showing off! That's for showing off!!"
"You can't die from not being flashy, can you? Almost got us killed by the Divine Child with one strike."
"Beat you, you damn fool."
One of them, while hitting, had red-rimmed eyes, nearly crying from frustration.
They were scared to tears just a moment ago.
We're just a few ordinary Martial Examinees; was it really necessary to summon the Great Sage Equal to Heaven to deal with us? Wasn't that overestimating us little nobodies, sob sob sob...
"Don't hit him anymore!"
The referee tried to intervene but only spoke up, not physically stopping them.
He too harbored resentment in his heart.
If God's Child hadn't held back, he would have had to step in to take that hit, but he was extremely averse to taking that powerful strike. Honestly, he didn't want to.
You ask someone to summon Ancient Spirits without knowing your own weight, you think you're worthy?
The contestant in the end did not get hurt by Luo Yu, but instead was carried away on a stretcher after being hammered by his eight teammates.
Yuwen Chenglong watched the dramatic scene on the stage with a somber expression.
And fell silent.
He admitted that he had spoken too loudly to Luo Yu when he stepped down earlier.
He wondered.
Would it be too late to regret and apologize now?
Yuwen Chenglong was not spineless... really not spineless... it's just that he was a little bit afraid of dying... afraid of being hammered to death by Luo Yu's summoned Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Was General Tianbao of the Sui Dynasty, the second fierce general, really that impressive?
Indeed, he was.
Renowned for his courage, with martial skills second to none.
But it's all about who you compare him with, if you compare him with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who would you fucking count as, and what rank could you claim...
On the other side of the waiting area, Huo Tongtian, Li Mushen... and others all had serious expressions, their palms trembling slightly under their sleeves.
That strike just now was a bit exaggerated.
And from their view below the stage, it was clear to them that Luo Yu seemed to really not have taken it seriously, just casually swinging his stick.
The composed and mature Li Mushen twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered in a low voice:
"The world is indeed a tough place now, but does it have to be this competitive?"
"Even when dealing with a few nobodies, he brings out the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, what about when he faces us..."
While speaking, he shuddered.
Li Mushen admitted that he might have been a bit cold just now, absolutely, absolutely not scared!!
"You're being a bit too brutal."
"Those nine are still just kids."
After stepping off the stage, Lyu Chan immediately came over to Luo Yu, looking him up and down, as if seeing him for the first time, her eyes shining as she kept expressing her amazement.
Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders.
"They asked for it themselves, blame me?"
"You better not treat me like that, we're friends." Lyu Chan said.
"Friends?" Luo Yu raised his eyebrows: "We've only known each other for a few hours, right, and we're already friends?"
Lyu Chan nodded.
"Isn't a friendship not started from the first few hours, right?"
Luo Yu laughed: "Fair enough."
"I have a habit, I'll go through fire and water for my friends."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Lyu Chan smiled.
Luo Yu's lips curved into a smile.
"I guess you must have misheard what I just said."
"Would the third group of contestants please come up to the stage and get ready!" The referee's voice came through, and Lyu Chan glared at Luo Yu before stepping onto the stage.
Against Lyu Chan, who appeared flamboyant and effeminate, the nine opponents on the other side were extremely cautious. The moment the referee announced the start, they took immediate action, as if they had already agreed upon surprising their foe, because without that, they would stand no chance at all.
But in fact, they truly stood no chance at all.
As the majestic man appeared behind Lyu Chan, riding a fiery red horse, clad in battle armor, and wielding the Heaven-slaying Halberd, everything ended in an instant.
With the boost of the Ancient Spirits, Lyu Chan seemed to ride the fiery red horse, turned into a streak of red light, leaving multiple afterimages, her Heaven-slaying Halberd whirling, setting off sonic booms. The nine adversaries had no chance to counter, all of them were flattened out by the flat side of the Heaven-slaying Halberd.
They vomited blood in succession, suffering serious injuries.
Because of Luo Yu's performance, the audience had raised their threshold for excitement, but still couldn't help marveling upon seeing Lyu Chan's Ancient Spirits.
The Red Hare and the Heaven-slaying Halberd, that was the extraordinary figure who dazzled an entire era.
The number one warrior of the Three Kingdoms, Marquis Wen—Lyu Bu!
After Lyu Chan's match ended, Diao Lingluo took the stage in the fourth round. Different from the earlier violent bouts, Diao Lingluo fought with a display of elegant movements, possessing the ability to create illusions, significantly impairing the output capabilities and strength of the other nine.
After some time, Diao Lingluo easily eliminated all nine opponents.
This also showed that the grouping of ten contestants each had its reasons, aimed for all the seed players to emerge, ensuring that the top ten truly deserved their ranks.
They were all individuals who could go against nine in their respective groups.
When the fifth group's Huo Tongtian took the stage and summoned his Ancient Spirits, the entire venue was electrified, their gazes fixed on his back...
