Chapter 1287: Chapter 1289: Siege on Sunflower Scar!
(Third Update)_1 Chapter 1287: Chapter 1289: Siege on Sunflower Scar!
(Third Update)_1 This battle was a competition of mental fortitude, of power, but even more so, of wealth.
Although top-tier masters like Golden Peng Elder and Sunflower Scar were difficult to eliminate, the same might not be said for their subordinates.
The remaining quasi-sovereigns fought desperately, eliminating their followers time and again, thereby completely depriving them of the chance to enter the Eternal Mountain.
With their opportunity gone, opportunities emerged for others.
Even though the likes of Golden Peng were financially robust, they could not bear the constant loss of their subordinates.
…
Ultimately, they even gave up on reviving their followers and simply prayed they wouldn’t be the ones to die.
This frenzy of battle lasted for almost three intense days!
Those with wealth could persist, while those without could not.
Of the remaining thirty thousand, over twenty-nine thousand were eliminated within the final two days.
They no longer had any means to enter Illusion Town.
Although the remaining few hundred were still fighting sporadically, they no longer posed a threat to the top-tier masters.
They brought out their reserved weapons, once again summoning their followers to the town, thus ensuring their own safety.
Then came the counterattack of the top-tier masters, leading their people to counterattack, one by one eliminating those that were stubbornly resisting.
As time passed, the town gradually fell silent.
Some people returned, but completely left the central area of the town.
It implied that they had given up on competition and were no longer concerned about the outcome.
They had already experienced such situations many times before, and if this time they could not seize the opportunity, they could only cultivate diligently, strive to improve their strength and rankings, and wait for the next occasion.
The ones who were still competing were now less than a hundred!
Among them, Golden Peng Elder had five or six people, and the likes of Sunflower Scar and Zi Xinghe had about the same number.
The remaining few were solitary wanderers.
Even if they managed to make it to the top thirty, they stood little chance of posing a significant threat.
The most intense period had passed, and it was almost time to reap the fruits of victory.
Golden Peng Elder stopped his hand, looking up and gazing at the sky.
A shadow appeared in the distant horizon.
The massive form, exuding an intimidating pressure, signified the arrival of the much-anticipated Eternal Mountain.
A smile appeared on Golden Peng Elder’s face, “It’s here, it’s here!
The shadow has appeared, and the Eternal Mountain will descend here within the hour.
Once the Eternal Mountain descends, the battle must stop, and the top thirty can begin to climb.”
The people in the field all exposed fervent expressions.
The decisive hour would determine the ownership of the climb.
Golden Peng Elder glanced around and found that Lin Zhen was nowhere in sight.
He couldn’t help but frown.
“This guy, how can he be so unreliable at this time?
If he doesn’t come to climb, my chances of getting the Sovereign God Crystal will be reduced by at least half!”
But there was no time to worry about that at the moment.
Golden Peng Elder glanced at Zi Xinghe, who was also watching him.
Golden Peng Elder gave a slight nod to Zi Xinghe, signaling him to act according to the original plan.
Their plan was to attack Sunflower Scar at this juncture.
The details of the plan had been thoroughly discussed countless times to ensure its flawlessness.
Zi Xinghe was the first to step forward, addressing the scattered quasi-sovereigns, “In the next fight, a few of us who are at the top of the ranks will have a decisive battle.
It’s best for you not to get involved, as it won’t do you any good.”
The rest of the people retreated a bit, indicating their compliance.
At this point, they knew they couldn’t eliminate the top few, so they might as well focus their energy on the other competitors.
After finishing his statement, Zi Xinghe stepped towards Sunflower Scar.
Ten meters away from her, he paused and looked at the stunning woman with mocking eyes.
His intent was clear.
At this moment, Sunflower Scar sneered, waved her hand to let her female followers retreat, and calmly said to Zi Xinghe’s provocation, “Do not presume I will be afraid of you just because you stand in front of me.
I am well aware of your plans.
But you alone are not enough to challenge me.
Anyone else who wants to join in, come at me all together.”
“What a sharp-tongued brat!
Do you think you being ranked second on the Heaven Stele makes you the second best in the world?
This old man is not convinced and would like to test you!”
Feng Dao, embracing his Qiu Shuihan, stepped up to Zi Xinghe’s side.
After being defeated by Lin Zhen, he had stopped using a sheath altogether, keeping himself in his most formidable form at all times.
He and Zi Xinghe, by joining forces, posed a challenge to Sunflower Scar.
“Same goes for me, Sunflower Scar.
You’ve been overbearing long enough.
As a man, it’s hard for me to accept being under you.
Today, we’re going to settle this!”
Tianxing also stepped forward, standing beside Zi Xinghe.
“Defeating the witch will be very satisfying.
How could I miss such an occasion?”
The tall and robust Mountain Stone also stepped forward, standing together with the three men.
Apart from the number one, Golden Peng Elder, the third to sixth ranked fighters collectively challenged the second-ranked.
Such a scenario was perhaps quite rare in the history of Illusion Town and must have been premeditated.
Looking at the four top-tier masters opposing her, Sunflower Scar showed no signs of fear, “Excellent!
All four of you come at me together.
But let me remind you, if you want to knock me out, you better be careful of being knocked out by me.”
“Heh!
You won’t shed a tear until you’ve seen your coffin, Sunflower Scar.
Today is your end!”
Zi Xinghe, the one who could not stand Sunflower Scar the most, was the first to attack.
His weapon was a Purple Glow Sword.
It was said to have naturally formed at the beginning of the world when the purple aura descended from the east.
It was a top-quality weapon.
The spear shook and, like a lightning bolt, shot towards Sunflower Scar!
Sunflower Scar raised her hand, and a light blue long sword appeared in her hand.
She engaged with Zi Xinghe.
In a duel between top-tier masters, the battle might not necessarily last long.
Zi Xinghe considered himself on par with Sunflower Scar, but once they started fighting, he realized that he was the underdog!
In a short time, he was at a disadvantage, something he found hard to believe.
“Quick, help me!” Zi Xinghe shouted for backup.
“Don’t panic, brother.
Let’s deal with this little brat together!”
Feng Dao pulled out his sword and boldly joined the battlefield.
In the two-against-one scenario, the situation quickly turned.
The pressure on Zi Xinghe reduced significantly.
But even with their combined efforts, they found it hard to take down Sunflower Scar.
The three of them both attacked and defended, and the two men still couldn’t seize the upper hand.
“Haha!
The witch is indeed powerful.
But today is your end.
It’s time to finish this!”
Tianxing and Mountain Stone drew their weapons simultaneously and joined the battlefield.
The four top-tier masters attacked Sunflower Scar from all four directions.
To others, it seemed absolutely impossible for Sunflower Scar to resist.
However, the situation on the battlefield was enough to drop jaws.
All four men attacked together, and yet, they still couldn’t defeat Sunflower Scar!
Golden Peng Elder was shocked.
This woman was so powerful that even their victory wouldn’t come easily.
