War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 4052 - Determining the Victor With Just

“Yuan Mo Yu is winning!”

“Unless Tuo Ba Xiu is still hiding her strength, she’ll be defeated!”

“I don’t think she’s hiding her strength. She’d been waiting for him to make a move for a long time. She must be confident about defeating him so she took her time. Alas, she probably didn’t expect that Yuan Mo Yu had hidden so much of his strength!”

“Yuan Mo Yu is quite cunning. He’s been biding his time to make a move at the crucial moment…”

“I don’t think we can say anything for sure now. Tuo Ba Xiu is the prodigy that the top forces from the Underworld Mansion cultivated, after all. We don’t know what her strength is like.”

…

On the battlefield.

Yuan Mo Yu successfully suppressed Tuo Ba Xiu with his sudden burst of strength.

Tuo Ba Xiu hastily retreated, erecting a wall of ice about 100 meters in height and length as she did so.

However, Yuan Mo Yu’s attack shattered the wall of ice in seconds. Chunks of ice flew out like sharp knives, but they were quickly deflected by Lin Dong Lai before they could reach the crowd. Otherwise, half of the people present would have been injured or even died.

Everyone watched as Tuo Ba Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood. The veil covering her face was blown up at this time, revealing her beautiful face. All of a sudden, her aura turned freezing as she launched another sword ray at Yuan Mo Yu.

Swoosh!

The sword ray was much stronger than the one before.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and shook his head. ‘She was still hiding her full strength.’

At this time, after testing each other for more than a couple of hundred moves, the duo finally fought with all their might.

‘Their strength is actually on par with that of Han Di from the United Heavens Sect,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, the few participants in the top ten were divided into three groups according to their strength. Han Di, Yuan Mo Yu, and Tuo Ba Xiu were in the top group; Wang Xiong and Wanqi Hong were in the second group; Ximen Long Xiang and Yang Qian Ye were in the third group.

Since Lin Yuan and Luo Yuan had yet to reveal their full strength, Duan Ling Tian had yet to place them in a group. However, based on his observation, he thought they likely belonged to the first group.

At this moment…

“I surrender,” Tuo Ba Xiu said. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Everyone felt that it was a pity that she lost. She had hidden her true strength for too long. Perhaps, if she had attacked with all her might earlier, she could have defeated Yuan Mo Yu.

“I bet she didn’t expect the fight to end this way. However, it’s also understandable why she held back for so long. She probably did not think she needed to use all her strength and wanted to conserve her energy. It was what Yuan Mo Yu did when he fought Wanqi Hong.”

“That’s right. It’s unfortunate that she underestimated Yuan Mo Yu.”

“Yuan Mo Yu is amazing!” 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Many people’s attention was focused on Yuan Mo Yu, the most outstanding prodigy from the Howling Heaven Sect who was rumored to be the descendant of an advanced Emperor of Gods. He was also said to be the future leader of the Howling Heaven Sect.

“Based on the strength they displayed so far, it seems like Duan Ling Tian, Yuan Mo Yu, and Tuo Ba Xiu are the strongest. I wonder if the others who are hiding their strength are just as strong or stronger…”

“If the others aren’t hiding their strength, then those three will rank in the top three…”

“That’s right.”

After this fight, most people thought that Duan Ling Tian, Yuan Mo Yu, and Tuo Ba Xiu were mostly likely to rank in the top three at the end of the Seven Mansions Feast.

Duan Ling Tian naturally disagreed with the crowd’s opinion. He thought that they had underestimated Han Di. In his opinion, Han Di was not weaker than the duo. When their strength was on par or almost on par, other factors would determine their victory or loss. Each decision one made during a fight would contribute greatly to the outcome.

If Yuan Mo Yu and Tuo Ba Xiu fought with all their might from the beginning, it was likely that the fight would end in a draw. However, if Tuo Ba Xiu had unleashed her strength before Yuan Mo Yu did, she likely would have won the fight. Alas, she made the wrong judgment by continuing to hold back and was injured, losing the fight. If it were a life-or-death fight, she could have died due to her error in judgment.

Soon enough, the crowd’s attention shifted away from the duo, anticipating the next fight.

“Luo Yuan, who’s ranked third, is next!”

“Since Yuan Mo Yu, who’s in fourth place, just fought, it’s naturally Luo Yuan’s turn. I don’t think he’ll be so foolish as to issue a challenge directly after a fight.”

“That’s right. Tuo Ba Xiu is in sixth place. Lin Yuan is in fifth place, but he just fought not too long ago as well. So it’s not his turn.”

“With Yuan Mo Yu and Lin Yuan out of the way, it’s Luo Yuan’s turn!”

As expected, Lin Dong Lai said, “Participant number three, please enter the battlefield.”

Due to Tuo Ba Xiu’s brilliant performance, the crowd was eager to watch Luo Yuan fight.

“He must be as strong as Tuo Ba Xiu at least, right? Like Tuo Bao Xiu, all the top forces in the Divine Morning Mansion gave him all their resources.”

“If he’s as strong as Tuo Ba Xiu, then the fights for the top three places are going to be exciting!”

“If he’s as strong as Tuo Ba Xiu, then it’s questionable if Tuo Ba Xiu will be able to rank in the top three.”

“That’s right. Tuo Ba Xiu is severely injured from her fight with Yuan Mo Yu. She might not recover in time. Moreover, she had lost to Yuan Mo Yu so she could only rank under him now unless someone she defeated could defeat Yuan Mo Yu. However, that’s unlikely, right?”

At this time, everyone wondered who Luo Yuan, who had entered the battlefield, would challenge. Since he was ranked third, he could only challenge Han Di, who was ranked second, or Duan Ling Tian, who was ranked first.

“If Luo Yuan challenges Duan Ling Tian and wins, he’ll rank first. However, Duan Ling Tian won’t fall to the third place, right, since he defeated Han Di?”

“Who do you think he’ll challenge?”

“It’s difficult to say.”

At the same time, the elders from the Divine Morning Mansion’s Autumn Leaves Sect were advising Luo Yuan as well.

“Luo Yuan, take it easy and challenge Han Di first.”

“Try to discuss with Han Di and see if he’s willing to fight according to the rules he had when fighting Duan Ling Tian. This way, both of you can avoid injuries and conserve your energies.”

The advice from the elders of the Autumn Leaves Sect was very reasonable. It was a win-win situation for both Luo Yuan and Han Di.

“Alright,” Luo Yuan replied. Then, he looked at the people from the United Heavens Sect and said loudly, “I challenge Han Di, participant number two.”

This was Han Di’s first fight after his fight with Duan Ling Tian. His fighting spirit soared as soon as he heard Luo Yuan’s words, and his eyes lit up with excitement. Then, he became slightly stunned when he received a Voice Transmission from Luo Yuan.

“Why don’t we determine who’s stronger with just a strike like you and Duan Ling Tian did?”

Han Di’s eyes flashed before he readily agreed. “Sure. Why not? It’s a win-win situation for both of us anyway.” His voice turned cold as he continued to say, “However, if you go back on your words, I’ll drag you down with me even if I’m severely injured.”
