Chapter 2454: Carry On With the Fourth Round Challenge! (1/2)

As everyone in the crowd waited with eager anticipation, the disciples representing the thirty-nine forces began to draw lots.

The party who drew the number-one lot this time around was the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground. Although the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s reputation was not as loud as the Beast Tamer Holy Gate, the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground was a first-tier powerhouse in the Holy World.

The Heaven Traversing Holy Ground was part of the Holy Lands Alliance’s forces, but they were just not in the ranks of the top ten players of the alliance.

After drawing the first lot in the third round, the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s group was naturally over the moon that they were smiling from ear to ear.

Who would’ve thought the chance of eating this piece of big fat meat actually would fall into the mouth of the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground.

The Heaven Traversing Holy Ground Patriarch called the fifty Holy Princes he had carefully selected, and exhorted them with all seriousness that they were to win the battle stage challenge at all cost.

“As long as you win this battle stage challenge, your annual allowances in the future will be increased by ten times!” The Heaven Traversing Holy Emperor promised generously.

The Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s fifty disciples were naturally excited after hearing their patriarch’s promise, and thanked him endlessly while vowing that they definitely would not disappoint him, and they would surely win the challenge.

The Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s fifty Holy Princes went up the stage with their surging ambitions in their chests.

In the subsequent ten minutes, the wide smile on the Heaven Traversing Holy Emperor’s face gradually diminished, turning sullen, and finally ugly. Ten minutes later, one after another Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s talented Holy Princes was either sent flying by Huang Xiaolong or smashed into the battle stage, or directly devoured by him.

And a dozen minutes later, the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s fifty Holy Princes met with the same fate as the Holy Princes in the first and second round’s challenges. All of them perished.

Below the stage, Duan Xuan, Shen Jiewen, Li Chen, and the others were staring at Huang Xiaolong with horror that rose from the bottom of their hearts. They had originally thought that even if the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s carefully selected fifty Holy Princes would fail to defeat Huang Xiaolong, at the very least, they would be able to leave Huang Xiaolong with heavy injuries.

But what did they see just now? Huang Xiaolong had still managed to deal with the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s fifty Holy Princes without so much as a scratch on him!

Compared to Huang Xiaolong’s strength, the sturdiness of his physique was just as frightening. The Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s fifty Holy Princes’ sword slashes, punches, or blade cuts didn’t even break Huang Xiaolong’s skin!

They could tell that Huang Xiaolong had not put on any saint artifact armor from the very beginning.

In other words, the fifty Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s Holy Princes’ attacks that had landed on Huang Xiaolong’s body were nothing but similar to scratching an itch for Huang Xiaolong?!

Although the Ancient Emperor Holy Ground, Beast Tamer Holy Gate, Black Inferno Race, and other forces’ fifty disciples who were selected for the third round had yet to go up the stage, their overall strengths were only slightly better than the Heaven Traversing Holy Ground’s fifty disciples.

One can imagine the results when it was the Ancient Emperor Holy Ground’s, and Beast Tamer Holy Gate’s fifty disciples’ turns to go on the battle stage!

Duan Xuan, Shen Jiewen, and the others almost collapsed on the spot, and waves of regret hit their hearts. They had fallen into the devil’s temptation just now and boarded Huang Xiaolong’s black pirate ship!

Those were fifty Holy Princes, who were carefully selected, ah!

Although their talents were not as high as the Holy Princes in the first and second rounds, they were still ‘precious darlings’ of each holy ground and ancient race.

The majority of these Holy Princes were disciples to these forces’ grand elders and even hall masters. Each holy ground had also spent a lot of resources and effort to cultivate them.

Furthermore, if each forces’ fifty disciples lost their lives on the battle stage, it would leave a great gap of experts in each of these thirty-nine forces!

When that happened, the Ancient Emperor Holy Ground and other forces would not have enough experts to uphold the holy ground!

The reason behind this was that there were only mediocre disciples below the Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint left now.

Wu Ge, the present Holy Heavens’ hall masters, and grand elders also thought of this problem, and their gazes on Huang Xiaolong were dominated by complex feelings of astonishment, speechlessness, and bittersweetness.
