Chapter 639

As the ten participants arrived, a ray of fiery light dashed out from the fireclouds, forming into the silhouette of a middle-aged woman .
The woman gave off an extremely graceful aura . She had white, smooth skin and her head of long hair drifted in the wind, her whole body carried a unique charm . It was as if she was a fairy come to life .
“Respects to the City Master . ” When the figure appeared, all of the Saints present, including some of the elders, bowed slightly, showing their respect .
“City Master? The ruler of the Zone of Desolation?”
Looking at the woman before his eyes, Ye Mo’s pupils dilated . He hadn’t expected an authority like her to show up for the Saint Elect Tournament .
A person of such stature was definitely in the Profound Heaven Realm – perhaps none of the elders present would be able to go against her .
The City Master more than lived up to her title .
Standing in mid-air, she didn’t even have to display her wings . When fighters reached her kind of level, they could completely fuse with the heaven and the earth and didn’t need wings to fly . Waving at the crowd, she said, “No need to stand on ceremony . ”
After that, she headed to the arena’s elevated platform and sat on one side of the three seats .
“What? The City Master isn’t the one sitting in the center?” Ye Mo’s eyes widened further . The seating arrangement was extremely significant – whoever sat in the middle must have greater power and stature than the City Master .
Another shadow flashed by and landed on the platform – it was Elder Tao Tie . Without speaking, he sat on the other side of the seats, quietly awaiting the arrival of the final guest-of-honor .
“Who’s the one who’s supposed to sit in the middle?”
Everyone started to make their guesses . Elder Tao Tie and the City Master were both at the top of the power rankings in the Zone of Desolation . For someone to be able to sit between them and make the two of them sit at either side, he or she must be someone special .
“Don’t tell me, its the Master?”
“Not possible . The Master’s status may be high, but with regards to strength levels, he is still far off that of Elder Tao Tie and the City Master . ”
“Has the Young Master come out? Once he reached the Profound Heaven Realm, given his talents, he may be able to stand beside the City Master as equals . ”
Just as everyone was guessing, they all felt a frightening pressurizing force spiraling out . A blood-colored shadow flashed and solidified into a red figure . Dressed in a blood-colored robe with the Blood Devil Blade strapped on her waist – it was the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber .
Her appearance shocked plenty of people . The Saints of the Desolate Mountain definitely hadn’t expected her to be to one to show up .
As the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber arrived, Elder Tao Tie and the City Master both stood up, showing their respect for her .
“Welcome, Saint . ” They held their hands together .
“No need for politeness,” the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said . ” I didn’t want to observe this competition in the first place . But my disciple is participating in today’s competition . ”
She waved her hand before sitting down in the middle seat .
She took a glance at Ye Mo .
“Disciple Ye Mo pays his respects to Master,” Ye Mo, stood to the ground, held his hands together and said .
“That Ye Mo is Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s student? She doesn’t often accept disciples . ”
“No wonder Ye Mo managed to make it to the finals with strength in the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm . He’s the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s student . ”
“Indeed . What’s more, he’s just a newbie . With the proper guidance, he’ll go far . ”
“Hehe, proper guidance . Who can figure out the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s temper? She did take in a few disciples in the past, but she used them as lab rats and ended up killing them . ”
Ye Mo’s identity as the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s disciple caused plenty of commotion .
“So what if he’s her disciple? These finals are a matter of life and death . Even if we kill Ye Mo, there’s nothing that she can do . ” Chu Tian looked at Ye Mo viciously . It looked like the appearance of the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber had caused Ye Mo’s popularity to exceed that of the four main generals .
“My disciple’s speed of growth is indeed frighteningly quick – even his aura has grown plenty . I wonder what his Transcendence Golden Body looks like – will he be able to go all the way and gain the right to become a Saint?”
Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber was also filled with expectations .
“Since all the participants are here, Elder Tao Tie, please announce the rules of the competition . ” The Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber didn’t want to waste any more time . She gave off a slight smile in anticipation . Elder Tao Tie nodded and gingerly got up and walked forward, going through the rules of the final .
“Next up, I shall announce the rules of the competition . This final competition will be a free challenge competition, which means that fighters will be able to choose whomever they wish to challenge . If the opponent rejects the challenge, it will be considered a forfeit . Since Ye Mo, Chu Tian, Li Huo, Nian Bing, and Liu Qingyun finished in the top five, Ye Mo will be the first to pick his opponent . Throughout the competition, participants won’t be responsible for any injuries or deaths caused .
After Elder Tao Tie finished his briefing, the ten participants looked at each other, trying to size each other up .
One could say that a challenge like this had no luck at all – the strong would prevail against the weak . By the second round, all the competitors left would be top fighters .
Even though Ye Mo had finished first in the point tally and had the right to pick his opponent first, plenty of people were still unsure about his actual strength . Among the ten participants, even the weakest was in the Seventh Tier of the Transcendence Realm . Ye Mo’s first challenge would be a good way to show what he was truly capable of .
“The ten of you, step forward, form a line and wait at the waiting area . ” Elder Tao Tie said and the ten of them left their respective areas and formed a line according to their point tally ranking .
“Alright, we’ll start with Ye Mo, who placed first in the point tally rankings,” Elder Tao Tie said . “Please choose who you would like to challenge and begin the competition . ”
“Alright!” Ye Mo nodded his head as he walked up . Sweeping his gaze at the other nine competitors, his eyes landed on Duan Fei, the weakest among them, only to see a sparkle in his eye – he was evidently rather afraid .
Regardless of whether it was a measure of strength or ranking, he was the weakest either way . He only had the option of being challenged and had no right to choose . Of course, he was going to be on the losing end either way .
Everyone wants the easy way out – once they won against him, they would qualify for the top five .
But Ye Mo’s gaze paused on Duan Fei for a moment before shifting away as he said, “I want to challenge Chu Tian!”
Everyone was taken by surprise . They had all assumed that Ye Mo would challenge the weakest of the participants; Duan Fei . They didn’t expect him to choose to challenge Chu Tian, the strongest among all of them . Was he trying to be eliminated in the first round?
“Chu Tian, do you accept Ye Mo’s challenge?” Elder Tao Ties asked .
If he rejected the challenge, it meant immediate elimination . If he accepted and lost, he would still be eliminated; such was the cruelty of the competition . Naturally, Chu Tian wasn’t going to reject the challenge .
“Since you’re so desperate to die, I’ll kill you right in front of the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber,” Chu Tian said calmly . To him, victory against Ye Mo was a given . “I accept your challenge . ”
