Chapter 998 (2/2)
“Hmph!” Ping Yang pouted and looked extremely unhappy . However, she was somewhat helpless . She wanted to win Wu Yuer initially but ended up losing .
How would she be cool with that?
However, Ping Yang's character was good and she had no intention of playing cheat . “I will never go back on my words, isn't it just 10,000 ounces of gold, I will pa.s.s them to you after I return to the palace in the Great Xia . ”
“Thank you very much . ” Wu Yuer did not probe further as she knew that 10,000 ounces of gold were nothing to Ping Yang .
Nangong Mu stopped looking at the inverted scenery and took two steps forward gradually .
“One win and one loss . The winner is determined by this final round . ” Nangong Mu said quietly and was not unhappy because he lost the second round .
“It seems like so . ” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head and walked out from the crowd into the center of the stage .
“I wonder who you are sending to take part in the final round with you?” Nangong Mu asked again .
“Shouldn't you be the one sending out your partic.i.p.ants first?” Fang Zhengzhi asked as he smiled and looked at Lin Yu who was behind Nangong Mu .
“Hmm, yes indeed . ” Nangong Mu nodded and looked behind .
Lin Yu knew what Nangong Mu meant and took a step forward with the two Monster Kings who were pre-selected . All of them looked extremely stern .
The two Monster Kings were the most powerful amongst the monster kings . In fact, they were ranked just below Monster Emperor Baizhi .
One of them was almost as powerful as Mu Qingfeng .
It was a female monster that changed her form to a charming man . She was female but she wore a white outfit of a man and had extremely fair skin .
If not for her thin waist and bulging chest, one could definitely not tell that she was a female .
“Fang Zhengzhi, this Monster King is called 'Ling Ning', she is the servant of Monster Emperor Baizhi and is very powerful . Her real form is a three-eyed poisonous toad . Her speed of attack is extremely fast and you have to be careful of her third eye!” Mu Qingfeng reminded Fang Zhengzhi when he saw the Ling Ning step out .
“Poisonous toad? You mean an ugly toad?” [1 . Fang Zhengzhi had used another term that referred to 'toad' in a negative manner] Looking at the female monster named 'Ling Ning', Fang Zhengzhi sighed to himself, indeed…
One couldn't judge a monster by her looks .
This fair-skinned female monster was actually a toad?
“Ugly told?” Mu Qingfeng was speechless . In the Holy Region, probably only Fang Zhengzhi dared to call a powerful three-eyed poisonous toad an 'ugly toad' .
However, it was not the time to dwell over this now .
That was because Mu Qingfeng knew that the Monster Race and Demon Race had reserved their powers in the second round when Ling Ning walked out .
This meant that the Monster Race and Demon Race also place all their bets on the third round .
One round to determine the winner!
“Fang Zhengzhi, both of these Monster Kings are powerful . Both old man Mo and I are not confident of winning with a hundred strikes . Who are you planning to send to fight alongside with you?” Mu Qingfeng hesitated a little before he gingerly asked the question .
Mo Shans.h.i.+ and the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance also turned to Fang Zhengzhi .
The winner was determined by this round .
They would definitely not hold back .
“Yan Xiu,” said Fang Zhengzhi .
“Hmm… Alright, and?” Mu Qingfeng paused for a moment and nodded . Although Yan Xiu was young, he was almost as powerful as Mu Qingfeng .
Moreover, Yan Xiu was friends with Fang Zhengzhi .
The two of them had good chemistry .
Mu Qingfeng had no objections for Yan Xiu to partic.i.p.ate in the third round of the compet.i.tion .
“And I have to trouble Uncle Yan . ” Without hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi turned to Yan Qianli who was standing amongst the crowd .
“Yan Qianli?” Mu Qingfeng looked surprised .
Although Yan Qianli was also a powerful sage, he did not enter the sage state for a long time and only had reached the first stages of the sage state .
Although Yan Qianli secured the Dao of Asura of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques, as compared to the powerful elders of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, he was still lacking .
Apart from Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shans.h.i.+ and Yan Qianli were also surprised and looked stunned when they heard Fang Zhengzhi .
“Are you sure?” Mu Qingfeng asked again .
“Yes . ” Fang Zhengzhi nodded .
“Alright, then we shall proceed with your decision . Thank you, Prince Yan!” Although Mu Qingfeng was not sure why Fang Zhengzhi made this decision, he did not probe further .
Mo Shans.h.i.+, however, had the intention to ask .
However, after hearing what Mu Qingfeng said, he swallowed his words and ended up keeping silent .
“I have a suggestion for the last representative — elder 'Gu Yuan' of the Fu Xi Valley . You should have met him at the Heaven Dao Pavilion last time . Elder Gu, for the third round, we are putting the Human Alliance in your hands!” continued Mu Qingfeng .
“I will definitely fight with all my might!” Hearing this, elder Gu Yuan of the Fu Xi Valley quickly stepped out from the crowd .
“Elder Gu, please describe your skills in detail to Fang Zhengzhi, remember to protect Yan Xiu and Yan Qianli!” adviced Mo Shans.h.i.+ .
“Alright, my Dao is…”
“It's alright, I have already decided on the fourth person, it's Ping Yang . ” Fang Zhengzhi disrupted Gu Yuan's sentence .
“Ping Yang?!” Mo Shans.h.i.+ was shocked .
Apart from him, the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance were also very shocked and acted as though they heard something extremely unbelievable .
“Why was it Ping Yang?!”
“She's so young, even if she had entered the sage state, her foundations are weak!”
“Be it her foundations, her state or her experience, Ping Yang was way lacking in those aspects . We are doomed to lose if we sent her for the third round!”
The disciples of the Human Alliance were in disbelief .
Meanwhile, Mu Qingfeng smiled bitterly after hearing what Fang Zhengzhi said .
He had always stayed beside Fang Zhengzhi and have heard the conversation earlier on in which Fang Zhengzhi decided to let Ping Yang take on the third round .
Precisely because he heard Fang Zhengzhi, he did not ask Fang Zhengzhi about the last representative and appointed Gu Yuan directly instead .
After all, the third round was way too important .
Did he want to send Ping Yang?
Wasn't he messing around?
Mu Qingfeng had some reservations with sending Yan Qianli up but he did not express it eventually .
The reason was that although Yan Qianli was not as powerful as the elders of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, he was close to Yan Xiu .
The two of them had a lot of chemistry and could work together well, that was extremely crucial .
Moreover, although Yan Qianli was slightly lacking in his cultivation state, he was very experienced in battles . After all, Yan Qianli was a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles and his skills were trained because of the battles .
Although he was slightly weaker in terms of power, he was still considered a suitable representative .
However, who was Ping Yang?
Sending her up to court death?!
