Chapter 400 – Strongest Urban Disciple: Escalation

Regardless of the intricate relationship between the current “spear” and “shield,” what truly mattered was that the strongest combatants present were none other than the three Protectors: the Elder, Tie Feng, and the Golden Lion King.

The “spear,” meanwhile, represented the clash between nearly two hundred disciples from both sides.

Contemplating this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but feel deeply moved:

“Born a mere mortal, who could remain indifferent to such glory?”

And indeed, the scene unfolding before him proved just that!

Silver Wolf: “Then let us fulfill the agreement of old. We shall serve as witnesses to this contest.”

Tie Feng: “Sigh, let it begin then. The rules remain unchanged—please exercise restraint.”

Unbeknownst to them, as their words lingered in the air, disciples from both sides had already begun to stir, eagerly preparing for battle.

The development of the situation, however, took an unexpected turn.

One by one, they seemed desperate to showcase their prowess, aiming to crush their opponents with their utmost strength.

Roar, roar, roar!

“I’ll go first!”

“Step aside! This is my stage!”

“Bullshit! This is a moment to be etched in history! How dare you ruin my grand plans? Get lost!”

“Say that again if you dare! Believe me, I’ll knock you to the ground first!”

In an instant, before the leaders of both sides could even discuss the specifics, the disciples had already descended into internal strife.

The chaotic scene resembled a clash of ice and fire, with individuals no longer distinguishing friend from foe!

Tie Feng: “…”

The Three Protectors: “…”

Only the vast sea of green-clad figures watched coldly from the sidelines.

It could be said that both factions harbored their own agendas, each with their own reasons and convictions for victory, as well as their own duties and responsibilities.

Thus, it was easy to imagine the explosive spectacle that would ensue when the long-simmering tensions between them finally erupted!

“Then let it proceed as agreed: ten participants per round, until no one remains capable of fighting.”

“Agreed.”

“Fine by me! That’s the way it should be!”

Roar, roar, roar!

“Fight! Fight!! Fight!!!”

Witnessing this, the Elder waved his hand vigorously, and the thunderous beating of war drums immediately filled the air.

Boom, boom, boom!

The noise was so intense that even Ye Kuang, miles away, couldn’t help but click his tongue in astonishment.

Yun Mengshu: “This feels like a battle for dynastic supremacy. I never thought anyone would still resort to such tactics nowadays…”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang explained:

“Perhaps it’s to boost morale. Ah, it’s starting.”

In the center of the field, a circle had formed.

But when twenty figures rushed forward ahead of the rest, the auras of Innate masters and S-class superhumans immediately took the forefront.

Bang, bang, bang!

Under the dazzling array of colorful lights, chilling glints of steel flashed intermittently, accompanied by the fervent cries of mortals charging forward—a scene of intense combat unfolding before their eyes.

One by one, figures were overpowered and sent flying out of the circle.

This only spurred the surrounding young men and women, unwilling to be left out, to step forward and replenish the front lines.

Bang, bang, bang!

Swoosh, boom, clang!

As the battle grew increasingly brutal, casualties became inevitable.

“Hahaha! I’ve taken down four! I’m invincible! The strongest is mine… Urgh!”

But before the disciple could finish, he was instantly engulfed by countless bolts of lightning.

“Where did this trash come from, daring to spout such nonsense? How laughable! Ah… No!!!”

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Unbeknownst to all, the one who had been laughing moments earlier was swallowed by a flurry of blades and swords, falling silent forever.

And so, it was no surprise that, having learned their lessons in blood, one by one, they began to bide their time and wait for the right moment to strike.The two sides were clearly demarcated, appearing to advance step by step with caution, yet the situation was fraught with unpredictable dangers.

As plain as day before them.

An Innate Peak expert, before he could even react, immediately met his end.

Then, submerged beneath countless brilliant flashes in the sea of fire, he turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The one who had just revealed their strength was instantly swarmed by over a dozen people, clearly unable to even make a ripple.

It could be said: there is no limit to ruthlessness, only escalating brutality!

Only when fewer than a hundred remained did those who had survived until the end finally bared their fangs, launching sudden attacks one after another.

A golden-haired man, wielding a Light Blade Spear, soared into the sky with a single step and let out a roar that Shocked Hundred Li: “Light Blade Spear!”

Whoosh… Hiss—BOOM!

At that moment, the Sudden Arrival of thunderous force instantly disrupted the formations of everyone present.

Curses roared in their ears, unmistakably hysterical.

Unbeknownst to them, a dark energy shield abruptly descended from above, forcing the crowd armed with blades and swords to form a defensive front.

At a glance, dozens of experts in the Dao Inquiry Realm had fully joined forces, their morale soaring like a rainbow.

“Bodi, now!”

“Do you even need to tell me?”

“Brothers, these bastards have already united! Don’t scatter and get picked off one by one!!”

Seeing this, even the leaders on both sides couldn’t help but clench their fists.

For as the situation intensified, the scene grew increasingly brutal.

At that moment, several green-eyed women on the opposing side began chanting in unison, raising staffs and rods high as if nurturing mysterious energies.

It was foreseeable just how relentless the buffs from these ability users would be.

Though the dozens of Dao Inquiry Realm experts had deep reserves of energy, they seemed as if choked, drawing closer together while gradually setting aside past grievances, unexpectedly beginning to cooperate against the enemy.

To the onlookers, this scene carried profound implications.

Tie Feng couldn’t help but reveal a glimmer of hope.

Little did they know, the moment the disciples from all sides gathered, it played right into the hands of the dozens of S-rank (Dao Inquiry) experts.

At a glance, one after another launched fearless charges.

Even when an ability user was pierced by multiple swords, they relentlessly thrust forward, unleashing their ultimate attacks with control over “wind, rain, thunder, lightning, light, darkness, water, and fire.”

When disciples from various sects witnessed this, their eyes nearly burst with rage, boiling over with fury.

“Are these maniacs not afraid to die?!”

“Hold the front line! Support from the rear! We’ll flank from the sides!”

“What’s the use of saying this now? Damn it… here they come again!”

Roar! Roar! Roar!
