Chapter 199: The battle intensifies

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

”This sword... is probably worth quite a lot of money!” That was the first thought in Fang Zhengzhi’s mind.

The sword’s workmanship and material were clearly superior. Without even considering the fact that it was sealed in the World of the Sage, it would be worth a huge sum of money even if it was made by a blacksmith.

Fang Zhengzhi only thought of money.

The other candidates thought of other things.

For example, Would my time in the examinations be easier after I got that sword? Would I be able to inherit Meng Tian’s techniques?

No matter what it was, the sword was incredibly attractive to all the candidates.

Naturally, the candidates swarmed towards the blade. Their greed was evident in their eyes, almost like hungry wolves spotting helpless lambs.

Lunging could not fully describe the intensity of the snatching contest that followed.

All of them exploded towards the sword.

They forgot everything else, each of them focused purely on that sword.

”That sword is mine!”

”That sword belongs to whoever can get it.”

”Move aside, don’t try to block me!”

The black chains were pulled taut by many of the candidates.

Over a dozen others rushed straight towards the sword, each of them demonstrating superhuman agility.

The rock was not high at all.

As such, a few of them made it to the top rather quickly.

It was a good thing the rock was wide.

It could still fit over a dozen candidates comfortably.

However, when they all reached for the blade, the peace was shattered. What followed was an intense snatching contest.

However, not everyone decided to partake in the snatching contest.

Xing Qingsui, who was dressed in black, decided to stay out of it. An icy middle aged man who stood behind him also decided against joining in the slugfest.

Apart from them, Nangong Mu was one other who did not move.

He did not even bother much about the sword. He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, then ignored it thereafter.

Following which, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

”Ah!”

”Ouch...”

Pitiful screams could be heard from the rock.

The clashes of the various fields had reached an all time high. They attacked and suppressed each other, making the rock a complete bloodbath.

Cracks and booms echoed from the top of the rock.

Very quickly, candidates began to fall from the rock. Some were attacked from the back, whilst the weaker ones were simply kicked off the rock.

The one who suffered the worst fate was a candidate dressed in purple, tight fitting shirt.

He was the fastest amongst all the candidates. He stood in the middle of the rock and reached for the sword. He was on the verge of touching the hilt.

However, his position also meant that he took the brunt of all the attacks.

”Sh*t!”

He spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was thrown into the air. Then, as he was sailing through, he was attacked no less than a dozen times.

He finally fell to the base of the rock.

Quite pitifully, he had fallen at a bad location. He was just at the edge of the rock, his head rested against it.

As a result...

He was trampled all over as people tried to scale the rock.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the pitiful candidate. Then, he raised his head, staring at the rapidly darkening sky.
