Volume 22, Chapter 54: Deception
------------------------
En's kind face twitched slightly, and his eyes flickered uncertainly as he slowly said, "My lord, you are a deity."
"So what if they're gods?"
"It would be absolutely unfair for gods to fight immortals."
"Unfair?" Xiao Wenbing was immediately enraged, saying, "Back when I was just a minor Nascent Soul cultivator, that guy named Fen Hua was already a Golden Immortal, yet he forcibly dragged me into the life-or-death arena. Tell me, is this what you call fair?" He had actually encountered such bad luck.
A barrage of fierce gazes were fixed on the old skeleton. If Xiao Wenbing hadn't been so blatantly offended, making everyone feel insecure, they would have smashed the skeleton to pieces long ago.
"My lord, we truly know nothing of this matter." :u: We haven't taken any action yet, so let's say a few kind words if we can.
Xiao Wenbing's gaze swept over them again, and at that moment, he realized that everyone was fully prepared.
Of course, their goal wasn't to kill themselves, but to find the best opportunity to scatter and escape.
These people are all top-tier supreme immortals, while I am merely a newly ascended deity who has just entered the realm of gods. Without thorough preparation, it would truly be impossible to capture them all.
After feigning a moment of contemplation, Xiao Wenbing said, "Alright, the old skeleton may be unfair, but I, the god, cannot. This time, I will not intervene."
Really?
“Of course,” Xiao Wenbing said with a smile. “As long as you can escape from my subordinates, this grudge will be settled.” He glanced at him and asked, “Your subordinates?”
“That’s right, my subordinates…”
"Very well, Your Excellency's word is law, we will obey." We won't take advantage of your subordinates; they'll field groups of three, and we'll also field groups of three. A fair competition is fine."
The many supreme beings breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they secretly pointed towards :>.
They're really being petty. What do they mean by "everyone is in a group of three"?
They only have three people, but we have over a hundred. Divided into groups of three, there are at least forty of us. With everyone taking turns, even if those three supreme beings are made of iron, there's no way they could win forty consecutive matches.
Such a situation, where victory is assured and defeat is inevitable, naturally makes everyone ecstatic.
“No, no.” Xiao Wenbing quickly shook his head and said seriously, “How can this be?” He said meekly, “Then how should we compete? Please instruct me, Divine Lord Xiao.”
Xiao Wenbing waved his hand dismissively, saying, "What's with this group competition? It's too complicated. You all rush in, and my subordinates all rush in too. Let's all mix together and have a good, loud fight." A smile played on his lips, but his eyes were filled with mockery. "As long as you can defeat my subordinates, I won't pursue this matter any further." He could hardly believe his ears.
Upon closer inspection, the cultivation levels of Quini and the other two were indeed impressive, truly at the level of Supreme Immortals.
If these three joined forces, they could create a massive upheaval in any immortal realm. However, this deity seemed to have forgotten one thing: he had one hundred supreme immortals with him.
If they still can't win in a chaotic battle where the odds are 100 to 3, then they might as well just commit suicide and end it all.
"Well, have you decided yet?" Xiao Wenbing asked impatiently.
"Alright, I'll leave first. You can start the competition in an hour." Xiao Wenbing yawned widely and said listlessly.
"Yes." En bowed deeply, his attitude even more respectful than when he saw his own father: "Sir, you can rest assured that we will act with discretion and will absolutely not allow these three brothers to suffer any harm."
Xiao Wenbing's eyelids twitched slightly. He glanced at him with a half-smile, then finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. He turned around, transformed into a rainbow, and disappeared, leaving only a series of cheerful laughs in the air. ...I really can't understand why he was laughing so happily.
"Fellow cultivators," En suddenly turned around and transmitted his voice to everyone, "When we fight later, everyone should restrain yourselves. No killing is allowed, and no offensive weapons are permitted. We will use our defensive magic treasures and let them fight until they are tired."
Many supreme beings nodded in agreement, raising both hands in favor of the proposal.
Now that Xiao Wenbing has left, the three immortals who remain, no matter how powerful they are, will not be able to harm so many of our people.
However, since they
It was that god who made even the gods retreat; this contest was truly...
Losing and losing your life is obviously unacceptable, but if you win fair and square, what if you anger the god? Wouldn't that lead to a fight to the death?
Caught in a dilemma, I suppose I've vented enough.
As for the issue of saving face after being beaten, no one considered it at this moment. They quietly began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Quini and his two companions watched coldly from above, ignoring their little antics below, simply estimating that the time was almost up. They nodded to each other and said, "Hey, we can begin." Each of them held several immortal artifacts in their hands, taking them out openly.
“We have always admired you three elder brothers, and meeting you today is the fulfillment of our lifelong wish.” He pointed to the immortal artifacts behind him and said, “These are some small gifts that we have prepared. Please accept them, elder brothers.”
Quini glanced coldly at the magical artifacts, his lips pressed tightly together, remaining silent. "These things are indeed beneath the notice of my three elder brothers, but in this rush, we simply cannot prepare them. Once we return to our own territory, within a year, we will certainly produce something that will satisfy you three elder brothers."
A hint of a smile finally flickered across Quini's resolute face. With a swift movement, he collected all the magical artifacts. |+. Quini's smile always carried a touch of unease.
Shaking his head, he quickly dismissed the strange thought. He had put a lot of thought into choosing these gifts. The battle was imminent, so he couldn't give them exceptionally good offensive magical artifacts, but inferior ones wouldn't do.
I painstakingly selected a few decent items; I'll use these as a stepping stone, and make up for it later.
While magical artifacts are important, life comes first.
“I’m going to make my move,” Queenie said coldly.
"That's right, brothers, please make your move." Several powerful energies quickly formed a super-large defensive light shield.
The combined protective barrier of over a hundred supreme immortals—what an incredibly powerful force that is, second only to the gods!
Quinni and the other two moved slightly, and a faint golden light slowly emanated from their bodies. (Those who have never eaten pork have always seen pigs run.)
From these three different yet equally powerful auras, they already knew that Quini and the others were supreme immortals who had comprehended the power of the gods.
Immediately, a complex look of jealousy and envy appeared in everyone's eyes.
The group nodded to each other, finally understanding why Xiao Wenbing had left only these three people behind—it was because they already possessed divine power.
If it were a one-on-one confrontation with a powerful immortal who had comprehended the origin of divine power, they would be in grave danger. However, the sheer number of enemies they face now gives them the confidence to escape unscathed.
"boom."
Quini, Shabir, and Elder Yan immediately launched an attack. They could tell that the other side would never dare to fight back, so why be polite?
Thunderbolt Bomb, Whirlwind Kick, Coffin Splitter...
A variety of attacks rained down upon it, creating a series of dazzling sparks.
Several hours later, Quini, panting heavily, withdrew the celestial fire.
The combined power of these supreme beings was indeed formidable; even the Ninefold Immortal Flame had no effect on them. They were truly exhausted and had no other choice.
Little did they know that this relentless, storm-like onslaught had already terrified the hundred-odd Supreme Immortals.
They never imagined that the Supreme Being, empowered by divine power, could unleash such tremendous offensive power; it truly broadened their horizons.
When they finally saw that Queenie and the others had stopped, they asked, "Are you tired of fighting?"
"I'm tired of playing."
"Have you had enough?"
"That's enough."
"Can we go now?"
“Leave? No way.” Quinni said without hesitation.
"Why?"
"We've had our fill of fighting, but our brothers haven't had their turn yet."
"Your brother?"
"That's right, you see..."
Quini pointed behind him, and in the clear, cloudless sky, a cluster of countless tiny black dots had appeared and were rapidly flying toward them.
Volume 22, Chapter 55: Ten Thousand Against One Hundred
------------------------
Unable to express anger towards Queenie, :+.9a
What is that...?
Even before the person arrived, they could already sense a powerful aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
If I'm not mistaken, they should all be top-tier immortals at the level of supreme immortals, and there was also a faint aura of divine power mixed in with the aura of those supreme immortals.
If this is true, then the dark mass of supreme immortals before them must all be super masters who have comprehended divine power and are on the verge of becoming gods. They still have some self-awareness, knowing that there is no way to escape from this locked spatial barrier.
Although it is unknown what kind of divine magic Xiao Wenbing used, being in this space not only prevents the use of teleportation, but also greatly slows down the speed of flying to a point where it is not much faster than that of animals running on four legs on the ground.
In contrast, the speed of those supreme immortals who flew in from afar seemed to be completely unaffected by the barrier, still as fast as lightning.
How can something that runs on the ground be faster than something that flies in the sky?
They naturally understood this principle, so no one chose this dead end.
They originally bullied Queenie because they were outnumbered, which is why they banded together and were sure to win against three out of a hundred.
But things are different now. Look at the sheer force of their approaching flight; there must be at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand.
10,000 against 100...:L
Pigsy was the fastest, arriving first at Queenie's side and shouting, "Elder, we're here!"
"Alright." A fierce, venomous glint flashed in Quinni's eyes as he looked at the group of supreme immortals before him, his heart surging with excitement. In that instant, he recalled the moments he had shared with the Flame Realm in the past.
Countless brothers abandoned the path of immortality to prolong the life of the Flame Realm, and countless brothers sacrificed themselves for the future of the Flame Realm.
Flames suddenly erupted on his face, the scorching heat making his whole body burn.
"Give me..." A single word spurted from his mouth, through his teeth: "Kill."
In an instant, countless lights flashed across the sky as everyone unleashed their greatest anger downwards without restraint.
The blinding light eclipsed even the blazing sun, and the raging fury that had been building up in the Flame Realm for 100,000 years erupted in an instant.
When supreme immortals clash, they always go to places tens of thousands of meters in the sky, where immortal techniques and magical treasures complement each other and are indispensable.
