Chapter 478: Chapter 177: The Little Prince Who Jumped Off the Cliff_3
Off to the side, Yan Yourong nodded slightly and said, "Junior Sister has good insight; that person has concealed his strength."
As Yan Yourong spoke, a look of disdain appeared on her face, "In such a tournament, resorting to tricks is utterly lacking the spirit of a true king. This kind of person won’t get far on the path of cultivation."
Following Yan Yourong’s words, three more contestants were successively eliminated from the platform where Ling Xi was located.
For a moment, there were only five people left on the platform.
With five people remaining, the platform could no longer accommodate pairs fighting one-on-one.
The two groups of three took a glance at Ling Xi and Hou Qianjun, who were still battling, observing the two anomalous Golden Cores above their heads, along with three ordinary and one anomalous Golden Core belonging to the others.
Suddenly and without warning, two of them made a move, attacking the man with five Golden Cores.
Both of them possessed four Golden Cores, but the man they faced had five, including two anomalous Golden Cores.
He was the strongest on the platform.
If the battle went to the end, it was very likely that this man would emerge victorious. freeweɓnovel-cøm
Therefore, they wanted to take advantage of the other two competitors’ intense fight, and their distraction, to defeat the strongest first.
"Let’s join forces to defeat him and then take down that man and woman together. Finally, it will just be the two of us to determine who is superior."
"No problem! Let’s deal with him first."
The two communicated secretly, quickly reaching an agreement, and attacked the only person on the platform with five Golden Cores.
Although the opponent had five Golden Cores, each of them had four, with two of them being anomalous. Working together, they pushed their opponent back step by step.
"Thump!"
A muffled sound rang out as the man with five Golden Cores was blasted away, hitting the light screen raised around the edge of the platform and rebounding onto the surface.
He was defeated.
A smile couldn’t help but appear on the faces of the two men who had joined forces. Now, they just needed to take care of the man and woman left.
Both had four Golden Cores and each possessed two anomalous Golden Cores.
Dealing with the man and woman should pose no problem.
Almost at the instant the two men showed their smug smiles, Hou Qianjun suddenly changed his stance. The four Golden Cores he originally had, unexpectedly transformed into eight, of which three were ordinary and the remaining five were anomalous Golden Cores!
The Thunderbolt, initially aimed at Ling Xi’s head, was redirected towards one of the two men, and at that moment, Hou Qianjun’s body was suddenly enveloped by streaks of purple lightning, like a net encasing him, as he rapidly flew toward the other man.
He chose to strike in a surprise attack, at the moment when the two men had just secured a fleeting victory and were at their most relaxed.
"A sneak attack?"
"This is... eight Golden Cores, he’s actually an eight Golden Cores cultivator!"
The two men instantly spotted Hou Qianjun’s assault, but it was too late.
The formidable Power of Thunderbolt from the eight Golden Cores was terrifying, and in an instant, a huge bolt of lightning, as thick as the pillars at the entrance of the Capital City palace, descended from heaven with boundless might, directly hammering down.
The force of this strike was many times more powerful than any he had previously unleashed, as if intending to reduce the entire platform to dust.
Faced with this fearsome attack, a Golden Core suddenly appeared behind the man!
He too had concealed his strength; he wasn’t at the fourth level of Golden Core, but rather possessed a fifth level!
He had calculated well, hiding his own power and jointly defeating the biggest threat, the man with five Golden Cores, with hopes of coming out on top.
But who would have thought that there would be someone even more devious hidden on the platform—an eight Golden Cores cultivator.
With such an attack, if he didn’t defend with all his might, he feared he would die right then and there.
In a state of extreme shock, he quickly released a piece of Mysterious Armor.
It was a piece of Mysterious Turtle armor, upon which there were carved complex patterns forming a giant character for "defense."
Suddenly, a rich Earth’s Power rose from all around, converging upon the Turtle Shell.
For a moment, the entire Turtle Shell seemed to merge with the earth below.
But the next moment, the Thunderbolt struck, and the Mysterious Armor broke in two with a loud crack, falling onto the platform. The terrifying lightning seemed to have diminished by half.
Despite being halved in size, the might of the Thunderbolt was still horrifyingly powerful, crashing down with tremendous speed.
With one strike, the man was blown away, his body charred black, and streams of crimson blood flowed unceasingly.
Meanwhile, Hou Qianjun’s figure had already charged up to the other Golden Core cultivator at the fourth level. The Power of Thunderbolt concentrated in his hands, striking the man’s chest before he could even react.
The overwhelming force hit, and the man was thrown back, slamming into the light screen of the platform and then crashing to the ground, his face utterly drained of color.
When he struck, he made sure it was decisive.
Everything happened too fast.
In just an instant, the platform, which had previously supported five competitors, now had only Ling Xi and Hou Qianjun left standing.
Only then did the audience far away, who had been watching the fight on this platform, start to realize what had happened.
