The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 48 - The Strategy for Victory

48: Chapter 48 The Strategy for Victory

48 -48 The Strategy for Victory

“This magic spell is so cool!”

Qin Jun gazed at the spirit energy dragon swirling around Bai Yufeng and whispered in amazement, while Daji beside him sneered, “Looks good but useless; this guy’s magic is not as good as Song Lang’s.”

Song Lang’s right hand condensed a giant green hand that was disproportionate to his stature, but in terms of appearance, Bai Yufeng’s white dragon looked cooler and more handsome.

Bai Yufeng let out a low shout, and the white jade rock beneath his feet cracked like a spider web.

He shot up like an arrow leaving the string, and the spirit energy white dragon spiraled around his long spear, tearing through the air and creating sonic booms with its impressive momentum.

Facing Bai Yufeng’s unstoppable attack, Song Lang slapped with his right hand, and the giant green hand directly hit the long spear, causing the spirit energy white dragon to dissipate instantly.

Bai Yufeng, as if struck by lightning, plummeted straight down toward the Vermilion Bird Platform.

The repeated failure of their exchange caused the commoners and cultivators around the Vermilion Bird Platform to fall silent, as even ordinary people could see that Bai Yufeng was being suppressed.

Up in the gallery, the expressions of several military officers were incredibly grim.

Nan Meng furrowed his brow, and the large veins on his beefy fists bulged, clearly agitated.

“He’s going to lose.”

Guan Yu stated indifferently, causing Qin Jun to blink.

Had the fight only just begun and it was already about to end?

“Is Song Lang that strong?” Qin Jun asked curiously.

Being only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn’t grasp the finer points of the fight between the two.

In his eyes, although Bai Yufeng was being overpowered, he still seemed energetic enough to withstand hundreds more exchanges.

“Just at the second layer of the Ascending Mortal Realm,” Guan Yu said with a sniff, his words showing complete disregard for Song Lang and causing the cultivators around to look at him in surprise.

What a show-off.

Qin Jun suddenly understood; Bai Yufeng had just entered the Ascending Mortal Realm, probably having forcibly advanced recently, so naturally, he wasn’t a match for Song Lang, who was at the second layer of the Ascending Mortal Realm.

Just then, Song Lang began to attack proactively.

He moved like a shadow, leaving afterimages in the air as he swiftly approached Bai Yufeng.

Bai Yufeng’s pupils shrank, and he rapidly moved the long spear in his hands, stirring up a fierce wind that swirled around him like a tornado, its cutting edges sharp enough to slice any average person to pieces if they got too close.

“You’re too weak!”

Song Lang’s cold voice reached Bai Yufeng’s ears, causing him to break out in goosebumps.

He instinctively turned around, just as a giant green hand, akin to a small mountain, came crashing toward him.

Boom!

Bai Yufeng spat blood and was sent flying backward, smashing against the light barrier of the Purple Light Prison Formation like a cannonball, prompting the crowd and cultivators nearby to retreat like a tidal wave.

Fortunately, the defense of the Purple Light Prison Formation was incredibly strong and wasn’t breached by Bai Yufeng’s impact.

“Not at the same level at all…”

“A brigadier general is just that, unable to be as mighty as General Nan Meng!”

“It’s not that General Bai is too weak, it’s that his opponent is too strong…”

“If you’re so capable, why don’t you go up?

You’d probably be instantly killed!”

“Exactly, he’s already tried his best!”

Thunderous clamor rose around the Vermilion Bird Platform, with most people complaining, causing the gallery full of military officers to exchange looks, while the expression of the Fifth Prince, Qin Yu, turned especially dark.

Both the Qian Emperor and Nan Meng frowned, clearly not expecting Bai Yufeng to lose so quickly.

Qin Jun reveled in schadenfreude.

Lose, lose, the more miserable the better!

When everyone else is in despair, I’ll step up to gain prestige.

Tsk, what a mean thought!

Even Qin Jun couldn’t help but despise himself, but his mood was still exhilarated.

Just then, Bai Yufeng, leaning on his long spear at the edge of the Vermilion Bird Platform, staggered to his feet.

The platform beneath him was stained with blossoms of red from his blood, making his silhouette all the more tragic.

“I can still fight!”

Bai Yufeng lowered his head, panting heavily, and spoke with a grave tone that moved everyone present.

Even those citizens and cultivators who had jeered at him previously fell silent now.

Song Lang watched Bai Yufeng in amazement.

The strike he had just executed had been with his full strength.

Bai Yufeng’s bones were likely shattered to pieces, yet he was still able to stand—this willpower was extraordinary.

Even Qin Jun watched Bai Yufeng with a face full of admiration, beginning to consider when to recruit Bai Yufeng into his ranks.

Although Bai Yufeng’s combat power wasn’t comparable to that of Guan Yu or Daji, he still possessed the cultivation of the Ascending Mortal Realm.

Coupled with his unyielding spirit, he might one day become as great a general as Nan Meng.

“Alright, let’s start the next match.

We admit defeat in this one!”

The Qian Emperor, standing on the balcony, suddenly announced.

With his cultivation of the Golden Elixir Realm, his voice, amplified by his energy, could easily surpass the discussions of the crowd.

At this pronouncement, the citizens and cultivators below burst into commotion.

Shen Yan, standing in the corner of the Vermilion Bird platform, quickly declared, “The first match goes to Canglan Kingdom!”

He understood the Qian Emperor’s intention.

Losing was a minor matter, but if they were to lose Bai Yufeng, a powerful Ascending Mortal practitioner, it would truly be a case of losing the lady and the soldiers.

Shen Yan then signaled for the guards in the corner of the Vermilion Bird platform to shut down the Purple Light Prison Array and had someone assist Bai Yufeng down.

Song Lang gave Bai Yufeng a deep look before lightly flying back to the balcony, as if he hadn’t engaged in battle at all.

“Please send out the contestants for the second match!”

Shen Yan called out loudly, silencing the murmurs of the crowd.

The quick loss of the first match cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts.

Ordinary citizens didn’t understand the realms of cultivation, but the cultivators knew well enough—energy refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Ascending Mortal, and so on.

A practitioner of the Ascending Mortal Realm was definitely among the top few super-powerful individuals of a kingdom.

With Bai Yufeng’s first level Ascending Mortal Realm cultivation becoming known, all cultivators had high expectations of him.

Unfortunately, things did not go as hoped.

Bai Yufeng was defeated too quickly, shattering their hopes.

“I’ll go!”

A domineering voice shouted from the balcony, sending the crowd into a frenzy because the speaker was the war god of Qianyue Kingdom, Nan Meng!

Nan Meng did not immediately fly towards the Vermilion Bird platform.

Instead, he turned his gaze towards the Canglan Kingdom’s seats, his eyes lingering on Xiao Beilong and Zhenhun.

“Zhenhun, you go,” Zhu Yishi said softly.

Xiao Beilong was stronger than Zhenhun, but since they had already won the first match, it was a surefire strategy to save the strongest contestant for the last.

“Alright!”

Zhenhun stood up directly, shooting a glance at Nan Meng before flying to the Vermilion Bird platform.

“Dad, you must win!”

Nan Yuxin shouted excitedly.

To this, Nan Meng merely chuckled and waved his hand before flashing onto the Vermilion Bird platform to stand opposite Zhenhun.

Qin Yu frowned.

He knew that the strongest from Canglan Kingdom was Xiao Beilong, who was purposefully avoiding Nan Meng, putting Qianyue Kingdom at a disadvantage.

But Nan Meng had to go on for the second match; otherwise, if they lost the second match as well, Nan Meng wouldn’t even get a chance to fight.

“Second Master, who will win between them?” Qin Jun asked curiously, addressing Guan Yu.

“It’s hard to say,” Guan Yu said, squinting his eyes.

Fuck!

That awesome?

Qin Jun couldn’t help but be shocked.

Didn’t this imply that Canglan Kingdom had widened the gap in top-tier combat power with Qianyue Kingdom?

“Fuck!

What the hell are you talking about?

General Nan Meng is invincible!” a cultivator nearby exclaimed indignantly.

Crazy fan.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes and ignored him.
