Chapter 169
169 Chapter 169-overcoming difficulties
This third round had eliminated 43 people at once.
Qu youqian had also passed this stage.
The 43 people who were eliminated were brought away by the 20 year old member of the judgement Army and left the camp.
Only the man in his thirties with two stars on his epaulet was left.
Although they had passed this test, the atmosphere was still tense. Those who stayed behind knew that there would be more rigorous tests coming.
congratulations on passing the first three stages. It can be said that all of you who have remained are the best of the best before the one sun realm. The next stage is very simple, and it will test your summoning spell abilities. I will summon a warrior, and you will take turns to summon the creature you think is the most powerful. Remember, you only have one chance, as long as your summoned creature can defeat and kill the warrior I summon. If your summoned creature is killed by my summoned creature, you will be eliminated. Do you understand?”
The rules were simple and clear, and everyone nodded.
okay, since we’re clear, let’s start with number 7, ” the man with two stars on his epaulet in his 30s pointed at a Summoner with number 7.
That Summoner’s number plate was the smallest among all of them. The summoners from No. 1 to No. 6 before him had been eliminated in the previous matches. He was the only one from No. 1 to No. 10 who had remained. Now, only one or two out of ten people were left.
That person was the first to go on stage, so he obviously felt a little nervous. However, the scene did not give him much time to adapt.
Everyone dispersed and gave way to the stage.
As the 30-odd man with two stars on his epaulet pointed at the empty land in front of them, a black mist suddenly appeared. From the black mist, a dignified warrior in an awe-inspiring shiny armor slowly walked out, holding a huge zhanmadao as long as 2 m.
Xia ping ‘an looked at the summoned warrior and was slightly shocked. The warrior was wearing armor with two large round armors on the left and right sides of his chest armor. It was dazzling. There was a ribbon around his waist, a Cape over his shoulders, and a skirt on his thighs. It was all woven from armor pieces. There were also Tiger-head shoulder guards on his shoulders. The style was gorgeous. This armor was clearly the Mingguang armor of the great Tang.
That man couldn’t have summoned an elite soldier of the great Tang, could he?
The first man with number 7 was a little nervous. However, under everyone’s gaze, he took a deep breath and started summoning. With a flash of light, he summoned an assassin in black with his face covered and a short sword in his hand.
as long as you summon it, we can begin, ” the man with two stars on his epaulet in his thirties said calmly.
The assassin took the initiative to charge at the Tang warrior, his body twisting and turning like smoke. He also hid his short sword in his sleeve.
The two parties started to fight. When the assassin was more than three meters away from the warrior, he swung his arm and threw out several cold lights towards the warrior’s face, neck, and chest. The warrior only raised his hands to protect his head. The darts that he threw fell to the ground when they touched the Mingguang armor on the warrior.
Seeing that the DART was useless, the assassin lowered his body and flew close to the ground. He wanted to get behind the Tang warrior, and the short sword in his sleeve appeared in his hand. He wanted to cut the Tang warrior’s neck from behind, but he kicked out from behind, aiming for the crotch area of the Tang warrior.
The one who had been summoned had attacked in a strange and vicious manner. His movements were agile and cunning. However, when Xia Pingan saw this, he still shook his head secretly. In such a situation, when an assassin was summoned to fight against a warrior, the Assassin’s element of surprise and concealment would be lost. In fact, the Assassin’s ability would be reduced by half. It was just like when two armies were fighting and you arranged for the assassin to charge. In this place, time and space were not at an advantage for the assassin.
Perhaps No. 7 wanted to take a gamble, or perhaps this assassin might be the strongest character that No. 7 could summon. However, Xia Pingan was not optimistic about it.
In the face of this attack, the great Tang warrior suddenly turned around and held his zhanmadao horizontally. With a clang, he blocked the blade that was aimed at his neck. As for the Assassin’s kick, the great Tang warrior didn’t care at all. That kick was directly blocked by the skirt of the Mingguang armor the moment the great Tang warrior turned around.
In the next second, the Tang warrior stepped forward and nimbly turned the huge zhanmadao in his hand. He slashed out diagonally with a brilliant light.
The assassin lowered his body and wanted to retreat, but the zhanmadao was too long and too big. When the move came down, a radius of two meters was covered. The slanted zhanmadao was like a door chopping down, its edge cutting from high to low. It was unavoidable.
The assassin could only use his short sword to block.
Xia ping ‘an and the others watched as the short sword in the Assassin’s hand and his body were cut in half by the zhanmadao of the Tang Empire warrior.
The zhanmadao was too powerful, and the dagger in the Assassin’s hand could not block it.
The assassin turned into black smoke and disappeared. No. 7 retreated silently with a bitter expression.
next, Yingluo, ” the man in his thirties with two stars on his epaulet said calmly.
The next one to go on stage was number 12.
No. 12 was a male Summoner. After he stepped onto the stage, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand, summoning a cavalryman on a warhorse.
The cavalrymen were also wearing armor and holding Spears in their hands.
The warhorse galloped two rounds on the spot. The cavalryman pressed his legs on the horse’s abdomen, and the warhorse neighed and accelerated. The sound of its hooves was like thunder as it charged toward the Tang warrior.
This was a battle between cavalry and zhanmadao.
The two sides soon met.
The moment the spear was about to hit him, the Tang warrior with the horse-killing sword leaped up and slashed down with the horse-killing sword.
The horse-killing sword directly cut off the horse’s neck. The horse’s head fell off, and the entire warhorse dissipated into a mist of light. The cavalryman on the horse fell heavily to the ground. Before he could get up, the Tang warrior with the horse-killing sword had already rushed over. He kicked the spear in the cavalryman’s hand away and stepped on the cavalryman’s chest. Then, he raised the horse-killing sword and chopped off the head of the cavalryman.
The Knights that were summoned also disappeared.
12’s Summoner retreated dejectedly.
“Next, Wufu.”
Number 26 went on stage. She was also a female Summoner. She was quite pretty, but she had a cold expression on her face. As soon as she went on stage, she summoned a blood-red python that was 17 to 18 meters long.
When the surrounding Summoners saw the giant python, many of them gasped and quietly took a few steps back.
The blood-red python writhed on the ground, slowly approaching the Tang warrior.
This time, the Tang warrior held his zhanmadao in a defensive posture as if he was facing a great enemy. He carefully confronted the blood-red python.
A moment later, the Tang warrior chose to take the initiative to attack. He rushed over with his zhanmadao and slashed at the blood-red python.
The blood-red python seemed to have been waiting for this moment. Seeing the Tang warrior rush over, it opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of black smoke, which directly enveloped the Tang warrior.
As the black smoke dissipated, the Tang warrior’s face turned black, and the Mingguang armor on his body seemed to have lost its luster. His body swayed, and he fell to the ground.
The giant python opened its mouth and slowly swallowed the Tang warrior from head to toe.
number 26 wins this round. Next, Wufu.
The man with two stars on his epaulet, who was in his thirties, said as he summoned another Tang warrior that looked exactly like the one before.
Number 26 waved his hand and the blood-red python disappeared.
The 34th Summoner began to go on stage.
The 34 Summoners had summoned an Archer.
The Archer’s body moved nimbly. He did not get close to the Tang warrior. Instead, he kept a distance of more than thirty meters from the warrior and attacked him with his bow.
After shooting more than ten arrows, the human archer number 34 summoned shot the Tang warrior in the face. The Tang warrior disappeared and number 34 passed the test again.
……
Xia Pingan was the seventh to go on stage.
After watching a few matches, Xia Pingan had a rough idea of the combat power of the Tang warrior, so Xia Pingan did not say anything. He directly used his 108 points of divine power to summon a Black Tortoise the size of a basin.
Black Tortoise’s victory was clean and crisp.
As soon as the Black Tortoise came out, it exhaled a breath, and a layer of frost formed on the face, armor, zhanmadao, and the ground of the Tang warrior. The temperature of the arena suddenly dropped a lot, and many people shivered.
The frozen warrior was like a rusty robot. His joints were frozen and his movements were sluggish. Then, the Black Tortoise flew over and bit the warrior’s leg.
The black water instantly covered the great Tang warrior, turning him into black ice. The Black Ice then shattered, and the great Tang warrior disappeared.
The Black Tortoise that Xia Pingan had summoned was the fastest and most efficient way to end the battle.
Everyone around them looked at Xia ping ‘an.
The man from the judgement Army looked at Xia Pingan deeply once again.
After a few rounds of tests, everyone had discovered Xia ping ‘an’s uniqueness, and Xia ping’ an had already stood out.
number 68 wins this round. Next, Wufu.
……
The people behind him summoned all kinds of creatures to fight with the Tang warrior, but not many people could kill him. On average, only one out of three Summoners could succeed.
Qu youqian had also summoned an Archer, and he had also won.
Out of the 39 Summoners, only 12 people passed this round.
