574 Two Peaks of One Mountain! (1/2)
Watching Dugu Lin wiping out others from the night sky map, Wang Baole thought about it and laughed suddenly.
”It's good that you're wiping out the rest!” The outcome of this battle had already turned into the inevitable battle between him and Dugu Lin. Dugu Lin's act of wiping out the others was clearly to ensure that the battle would not be interrupted. Wang Baole felt that it was a good move made by Dugu Lin, and he stood up on the mountain peak.
”Let's begin to wipe out the rest as well, targeting those from his clan!” With that, Wang Baole stepped into the air and flew out. Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao followed behind, and the trio charged forward towards all the locations on the map that marked the position of the keys.
Therefore, the map was gradually cleared with both Wang Baole and Dugu Lin heading in two different directions!
This was a bitter experience for the disciples of Feng Qiuran and Mie Liezi. Previously, Wang Baole was someone insignificant in their minds. However, with this trial, Wang Baole had risen up like a star, and he had even managed to defeat Zhou Chudao to become one of the two elites in the trial ground.
The struggling cultivators under Mie Liezi were all aghast at his arrival. Even though they were indignant, they also knew that it was impossible for them to succeed in this trial, given their capabilities. Initially, they also held onto the hope of reaching the top three by chance.
Of course, if someone, either Wang Baole or Dugu Lin were to fail, they felt that second place was possible. However, they had already realized that neither Wang Baole nor Dugu Lin was giving others a chance!
Therefore, this so-called 'wipe out' was simply an assembly of keys. It wasn't possible that anyone would foolishly try to fight back, regardless of whether it was people from Feng Qiuran or Mie Liezi's clan. Right now, those who had keys weren't stupid either. Most of the time, after being caught up to by either Wang Baole or Dugu Lin, they would hand over their keys without a fight.
However, amongst the two clans, there were still a few who weren't smart. Towards people like them, Dugu Lin and Wang Baole acted similarly. They didn't kill them but simply broke their legs to cripple them.
Looking at it from the night sky map, one could see that the stars that represented the two of them were extremely distinct, sweeping across each other's region. Three hours later, through beating up or taking away the keys, the disciples from Mie Liezi and Feng Qiuran's clan gradually lost all the keys they had.
It was the same for Daoist You Ran's clan as well. Even though they were a neutral party, as the scene was cleared, they also knew that it was meaningless to persevere. In this trial, everyone could be considered a beginner, and the value of their existence lay simply in helping those two elite stars rise to the top!
Therefore, when they met Wang Baole and Dugu Lin, the disciples of Daoist You Ran didn't bother to resist, and instead courteously handed out their keys. As this went on, before long, it was a mere one hour until the second teleportation. There were no longer anymore scattered keys on the night sky map.
There were only two stars made from numerous keys assembled together, and the numerous keyless participants who would be eliminated in this round of teleportation.
Right now, all these people raised their heads to look at the night sky map as they waited in silence.
As they waited, Wang Baole looked away from the night sky, and he looked at Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao.
Without hesitation, Zhao Yameng took out all the keys she had. Kong Dao took a deep breath as he similarly passed all his keys to Wang Baole.
”Baole, you must win!” Kong Dao spoke in a deep voice.
A smile appeared on Zhao Yameng's face, and a look of anticipation appeared in her eyes. Looking at both of them, Wang Baole smiled as he kept all the keys, before speaking calmly.
”Let's see each other outside in a while!” With that, Wang Baole turned around and stepped into mid-air. With his full speed unleashed, he turned into a shooting star as he charged towards the north, where Dugu Lin was!
At the same time, Dugu Lin, who was meditating on some rocks, suddenly opened his eyes, which carried an extremely strong desire to battle as he mumbled.
”You, who defeated Zhou Chudao… I wonder if you have the ability to force me to unleash the second divine power!” With that, Dugu Lin smiled and stood up. He was like a giant as he stepped forward, flying into the air with the speed of lightning, charging towards the approaching Wang Baole!
The two of them, one from the north and one from the south, were traveling extremely fast such that the distance between them was shortened instantly. This intense move by both of them made everyone on the trial grounds who had lost their keys extremely taken aback. To them, even if they were destined to fail, the fact that they could witness the battle between the elites of the Dao Palace made their failure worthwhile.
That was especially so as the battle to become the first was between a Dao Palace local and a Federation cultivator!
From the aspect of emotional ties, they naturally hoped that Dugu Lin would emerge victorious. However, everyone also recognized Wang Baole's rising. It could be said that in the hearts of these people, it was difficult to say who would eventually win!
However, the majority still hoped that Dugu Lin would win!
