"All participants will receive a number and enter the venue. The preliminary round will be a free-for-all. Anyone who leaves the plaza area or concedes defeat will lose their spot. Opponents cannot continue to attack; otherwise, they will be disqualified!"
"The melee will end when only 4 people remain in the square. Opponents will be determined by a one-on-one draw. Do you all understand the rules?"
The West Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion stepped forward, his voice resounding through the powerful thunder-attribute battle qi!
"Understood!"
All the participants gave the same answer.
Whizzing!
The sound of wind breaking rang out continuously as nearly a hundred figures appeared in the square, all of them young people from the Northern Region of Central Continent with extremely high cultivation talent!
Among them, the most eye-catching are naturally Mu Qingluan, Tang Ying, Wang Chen, and Feng Qing'er.
The Four Directions Pavilion Tournament does not restrict the participation of people from other sects and forces, in order to show its magnanimity. In fact, whether others participate or not, the result will not change, because the champions of the tournament in previous years all came from the Four Directions Pavilion, and this year will be no exception if nothing unexpected happens!
"Game start!"
As the starting signal faded, all the contestants in the arena unleashed their fighting spirit, cautiously observing their surroundings, for each person could be their enemy!
Of course, there were also some close friends who huddled together for warmth. Mu Qingluan, Feng Qing'er, Tang Ying, and Wang Chen formed a vacuum around them, and it was clear that no one dared to cause them trouble.
Lin Fan found a spot at the edge of the square and sat down cross-legged, staring intently at Xiao Yan's figure in the distance.
"For some reason, this guy gives me a sense of familiarity, and he's also named Xiao Zhan!"
Xiao Yan seemed to sense something, and after exchanging a glance with Lin Fan, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant!
Lin Fan ignored the gaze Xiao Yan cast at him. He hadn't expected that using Xiao Zhan's name would bring him such a pleasant surprise, but now was not the time to deal with Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, since no one else is making a move, I'll start!"
A cold laugh from Wang Chen broke the silence in the arena. He held a dark red dagger in his hand, licked the blade with his scarlet tongue, and revealed a perverted and bloodthirsty smile on his face!
A dense aura of dark-attribute battle qi rose from his body, eventually completely enveloping his entire form!
Whoosh!
The next moment, Wang Chen's body suddenly shot through!
Ahhhhh!
Immediately afterwards, a series of screams came from the arena. Wang Chen was like a venomous snake hidden in the dark. His strange dark attribute fighting spirit, combined with his assassination attribute, caused several figures to fall down with screams in no time!
Some had their Achilles tendons and wrist tendons severed, while others collapsed to the ground bleeding profusely from stab wounds; the sharp daggers were only centimeters from their hearts!
If it weren't for the convention's rule against killing, they would probably already be victims of Wang Chen's blade!
As Wang Chen made his move, Feng Qing'er also moved. Her phoenix eyes were filled with power, and a seven-colored ribbon flew out. The seemingly light attack landed on her body but burst out with strong energy fluctuations. One contestant after another fell to the ground in a sorry state!
Mu Qingluan and Tang Ying exchanged a glance and then joined the battle. They understood that the melee was just a formality, and the champion of the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament would ultimately be chosen from among the four of them!
However, compared to Feng Qing'er and Wang Chen's ruthless attacks, Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan were much gentler. Mu Qingluan, in particular, merely used her powerful battle qi to knock the contestant out of the circle, without causing much physical harm.
As the melee continued, the number of participants, which was originally nearly a hundred, rapidly decreased, and soon only a dozen or so figures remained in the arena.
Some people thought Lin Fan was an easy target and tried to take advantage of him, but they were easily defeated. After testing him, no one dared to touch Lin Fan for a while.
"Huh? What's that guy doing here too!?" At that moment, Lin Fan's gaze turned to a battlefield nearby, where Wang Chen was fighting a tall, thin young man!
The young man's strength was only around a six-star Dou Huang. Facing Wang Chen, who had one foot in the Dou Zong realm, he could only parry and had no power to fight back!
However, he seemed to have mastered an extremely mysterious movement technique. Although his speed was not very fast, he was always able to dodge Wang Chen's attacks at the most critical moments!
"Let's see how long you can hide!"
After a prolonged and fruitless battle, Wang Chen's expression gradually turned cold as the young man dodged the attacks multiple times. The dense dark attribute battle aura emanating from his body increased, and the frequency of his attacks became faster and faster, forcing the young man into a precarious situation!
"I surrender!"
Seeing that he could not avoid Wang Chen's next attack, the young man hurriedly shouted!
However, Wang Chen's attack did not stop. Instead, he thrust the dagger toward the young man's throat at an even faster speed!
"It's over!"
Before the attack even reached him, the sharp aura of the vanguard had already slashed the skin on the young man's neck. He cursed inwardly, but it was too late to dodge!
Clang!
However, what I heard was not the sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh, but rather the crisp sound of metal clashing!
Lin Fan appeared in front of the young man, his hand grasping Wang Chen's wrist, his indifferent voice slowly spreading out.
"The others have already admitted defeat, so why go to such lengths to kill them?"
At this moment, Lin Fan had no choice but to take action, because the person Wang Chen had forced into a deadly situation was actually Lin Yan, a former student of the Canaan Academy's inner court!
Lin Yan was considered outstanding in the inner courtyard. Later, he joined Lin Fan's Exploding Sky Gang, and the two had a very good relationship during that time.
"My friend, thank you for saving my life."
Lin Yan hurriedly stepped forward and solemnly clasped his hands in greeting, but because Lin Fan had taken a pill that changed his appearance, he did not recognize him.
"It's me, Lin Fan. Don't make a sound!"
"Lin Fan?!"
Upon hearing the telepathic message, Lin Yan was first taken aback, then his face lit up with joy, and he quickly tried to suppress his excitement!
After graduating from Canaan Academy, he did not stay with the Exploding Sky Gang, but chose to venture into the Central Plains!
The news of Lin Fan killing the three elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion some time ago was known to everyone in the Northern Region of Central State. At that time, Lin Yan was wondering if that Lin Fan was the one he knew.
At that moment, he already knew the answer in his heart!
"This kid is as crazy as ever. He killed three elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and still dares to swagger over to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Conference!"
Lin Yan thought to himself with emotion that back in Canaan Academy, Lin Fan had also created one miracle after another with his fearless courage!
"Heh, you want to stand up for him? I, Wang Chen, hate meddlesome people the most!"
Wang Chen's smile grew increasingly sinister. He brandished the sharp dagger in his hand, then his figure transformed into a streak of black light as he charged towards Lin Fan!
Lin Yan did not stay in the arena but took the initiative to retreat to the outside of the circle. He was not worried about Lin Fan. A few years ago, this guy was able to contend with three peak Dou Huang experts. Wang Chen was nothing to fear!
"Humph!"
Lin Fan let out a cold snort. He had long disliked Wang Chen. Dense light-attribute battle qi appeared in his palm, forming an energy armor around his body, and he engaged in battle with him!
