Chapter 931 Trial starts (1/2)

When the draw was decided, numerous silhouettes sped away and skimmed across Fallen City’s sky.

The top forces were making preparations.

Several miles outside Fallen City was an ancient mountain range with incredibly complex terrain, and behind it was Fallen Abyss.

While the whole Fallen City was buzzing with excitement, Zhou Yuan descended in front of the people of the Tianyuan Region.

He scanned around and saw that Lu Xiao, Mu Liu, Han Yuan and the others all scrunched their brows in a worried frown. They were clearly worried about the difficulties they would face.

“Information on the second path has come. This time there will be people from five different forces blocking us. There are around 4,000 people, which is slightly more than us, and among them are 900 people at the advanced Divine Dwelling stage,” Zhou Yuan explained.

Everybody’s heart sank. Their opponents were double their number and had 500 extra people at the advanced Divine Dwelling stage. If they fought, they would be greatly pressured.

Although the combat strength of the Tianyuan Region was a little stronger, it wasn’t enough to make up for the difference in number between the two sides.

Lu Xiao cast a glance at Zhou Yuan and said, “The most troublesome thing is that there will be some dark horses hiding, and they are likely not weaker than Chen Xuandong.

“I can beat one of them, but that's my limit.”

Mu Liu and Han Yuan pondered for a moment before they said, “We each can try to stop one of them, but the chance of winning won’t be high. We can stall them at most.”

In terms of strength, they were both weaker than Lu Xiao. They knew that they could at most stall an expert with strength similar to Chen Xuandong.

Everyone knew that once the super dark horses charged over, their defensive line would quickly fall, and their situation would collapse. In the end, facing the attacks of thousands of Divine Dwelling experts, they would be utterly defeated even with Zhou Yuan leading them.

Feeling the gloomy atmosphere around them, Zhou Yuan went silent for a moment before saying, “The dark horses of the other forces—you don’t have to deal with them.

“Leave them all to me. You guys only have one task: stall the 4,000 people to buy some time for me so that I can kill them and get the flag!”

Even Lu Xiao was surprised by his words. “Leave them to you? Do you know that there are most likely more than three dark horses as strong as Chen Xuandong!”

Although Zhou Yuan had defeated Chen Xuandong, his opponents this time were several Chen Xuandongs!

Zhou Yuan calmly explained, “It isn’t beneficial for us to get caught in a large-scale fight. We can’t suffer too much of a loss; otherwise, the situation will become even more unfavorable before we even step into Fallen Abyss.

“They must have thought about this too, so they are likely willing to accept this since it will minimize their losses.”

Mu Liu hesitated and said, “How confident are you?”

If the other side captured or defeated Zhou Yuan, the morale of the Tianyuan Region’s 2,000 people would crumble, and the Tianyuan Region would completely lose face.

Zhou Yuan smiled. “If I say I’m confident, would you believe me?”

Mu Liu and the others exchanged a glance with each other, feeling a little awkward because it was true they didn’t have much confidence in him.

Zhou Yuan didn’t try to explain more but said, “There is no better way, anyway, so let’s go with this plan.”

Seeing he had made up his mind, they could only nod their heads.

Fallen City quietened, but everyone knew that the silence was just the calm before the storm.

After an hour had pa.s.sed, in the void above, Zhao Xiansun flung his sleeve, and a melodious bell rang throughout the world.
