Qingyun League and Wushuang League had formed an alliance and all six of their league members were concealed at different corners in ambush.

“What are Zhao Huan and the others doing? With their strength, they could easily eliminate the three chief elects of Qingyun League,” said a Wushuang League elder. With a frown, he added coldly, “The Qingyun League’s chief elects this time around are truly too weak. They don’t have even a single late-stage True Energy Realm warrior. They’re not nearly strong enough.”

“Is that so? But a team battle does not rely solely on ndividual strength,” Elder Feng said with a smile. “Can’t you see that they seem to have reached some sort of accord? Perhaps they’re working together.”

“Working together?” An elder of Tiandi League cried out in astonishment. He continued, “That can’t be allowed?”

When they thought about it, everyone there could imagine how powerful a combination cooperation between the chief elects of two leagues would make.

“I mean, it wasn’t prohibited by the rules,” Elder Feng said.

“It’s a good idea.” The grand elder of Wushuang League roared with laughter and said, “If Qingyun League and Wushuang League work together to eliminate the contestants from the kingdom and Tiandi League, the chief elects of Qingyun League won’t be able to beat Wushuang League in the next round. Forget first place, we’ll have all of the top three positions for our own.”

“You’re getting ahead of yourself,” Tang Hao, deputy commander of the imperial guards, rebuked him. “You don’t know how this cooperation will end up. An alliance like this is the act of a weakling. Have you forgotten the kingdom’s contestants? Cao Zheng, son of Commander Cao, once killed several hundred Energy Shaping Ninth realm beasts single handedly when he was still in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm himself. Back then, he could even beat pseudo True Energy Realm warriors. Now that he’s entered the Heaven’s Gate Realm and has two Spirit Weapons on him, do you think those tricks are going to work on him?”

In a sense, this was a competition between Qingyun League, Wushuang League, Tiandi League, and the kingdom. The party represented by the victor would be glorified by the victory as well.

“Well, let’s keep watching. We’ll see if teamwork or individual strength is better.”

They focused on the Heaven Origin Mirror again.

Ye Mo’s group of three were hidden behind an ice mountain, their presence completely concealed.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached, getting louder and louder.

“Now!” With a yell, Ye Mo charged over the ice mountain and blocked the path of Tiandi League’s three champions.

The three blinked in confusion before sneering.

“So, it’s the three from the Qingyun League. What’s this? Are you thinking of stopping us?” the tall guy said, arms crossed as he looked at them with disdain.

He was Chi Ying, a late-stage True Energy Realm warrior.

“You guys have three seconds to run. After that, all three of you will be eliminated,” said Luo Feng, standing behind Chi Ying, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

“We’re here too!” a shout sounded from the ice mountain beside them, loud enough to cause an avalanche.

The three members of Wushuang League appeared behind the Tiandi League members, blocking their path of retreat.

Chi Ying’s face fell, “What’s the meaning of this? You’re working together?”

“Of course we’re working together,” Chen Zhan said as he roared with laughter. “First, we’ll eliminate the three of you. Then, we’ll eliminate the three from the kingdom. There’s no need for the three of you to continue to the next round.”

“Teaming up? Interesting.” Luo Feng sneered. He erupted in power and vanished.

“So fast!” Ye Mo’s pupils shrunk as he turned around.

Bang!

Chen Zhan was sent flying. He crashed on the icy ground and skidded a full 10 meters.

Then, he turned into a clump of light and vanished.

“This guy’s actually managed to deliver a fatal injury to a mid-stage True Energy Realm warrior with a single attack. He’s too fast!” Ye Mo’s mind raced as he shouted, “Lei Xiao, hide behind me!” One of them was already eliminated. If Lei Xiao was eliminated as well, Ye Mo would be eliminated too, no matter how strong he was.

“Haha, you overestimated your abilities!” Chi Ying laughed before he felt the temperature behind him increasing. A flaming saber appeared above his head, his face fell.

Clang!

Just as the flaming saber was about to slash down at him, a tiny figure appeared in a flash, dagger in hand. He blocked Zhao Huan’s attack.

But Zhao Huan was a warrior that focused on her strength. Luo Feng was sent flying by her blow.

At the same time, Ye Mo made his move. He formed his spear and, after locking down on the weakest Tiandi League member, he used his Will of the Chu Killing Spear and pierced the Tiandi League member with his spear before the man even realized what was going on.

The Tiandi League member looked at the spear in his chest in shock. Ye Mo, the Qingyun League member with the lowest cultivation was, in fact, their strongest.

Luo Feng had regained his footing after Zhao Huan sent him flying. When he saw his companion turn into a clump of light, he fixed his sharp gaze on Lei Xiao.

He was the nearest to Lei Xiao, and he’d always been known for his speed. He’d never met anyone of his cultivation level capable of matching him in speed.

Even if Ye Mo noticed, he would not make it in time to save Lei Xiao.

It looked like Luo Feng had become one with the air and, with the speed he was moving, his attack was extremely destructive as well as fast, destructive enough to kill a late-stage True Energy Realm warrior.

Lei Xiao could only watch as Luo Feng rushed toward him. Facing a Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouse, there was nothing he could do.

“Die!” Luo Feng arrived beside Lei Xiao in the blink of an eye, and swiped his dagger at Lei Xiaoi’s neck.

He was infuriated. In his opinion, having one of his companions eliminated was a disgrace, a disgrace that could only be cleansed through killing.

Clang!

Just when everyone thought Lei Xiao was about to be killed, a Bright Dragon Spear appeared in front of him and blocked Luo Feng’s attack. The spear and dagger collided. The impact forced Lei Xiao to take several steps backward.

“You might be fast, but you’re not as good as me!” Ye Mo reappeared beside Lei Xiao. The spear in his hand was pointed towards Luo Feng.

“How is that possible?” Chi Ying couldn’t believe what he saw. Someone was actually faster than Luo Feng?

“Goodbye, Tiandi League!” Zhao Huan roared with laughter before punching, turning Chi Ying into a clump of light.

“Damn it!” The league members and elders of Tiandi League cursed. They had never expected Luo Feng’s team to be defeated so fast.
