Chapter 1003 Sword Saint Sculpture
The Blue Golden Tree Clan was even unfamiliar to the common Monsters and Spirit Monsters, and it was only through this super auction event that they truly became aware of Tang San. This was actually the first time they witnessed the Lord of a City unleashing his own power.
Such a rich Life Aura, it really felt too comfortable. So it turned out that this man wasn't just a nouveau riche; he could actually condense life force to such an extent!
Not to mention ordinary folks, even the Emperors, couldn't help but nod slightly when they saw the giant tree phantom rising behind Tang San.
Such robust life force was beneficial even for them. Prolonging life was an understatement.
At this moment, Tang San, with both hands cradling an object, lifted it slowly. His own life force surged into the item in his hands, and immediately a sword beam of extraordinary sharpness soared into the sky.
Yes, what he held in his hands was the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue that he bid for at a high price during the auction, which contained a strike from the Sword Saint Demon Emperor.
Seeing the soaring sword intent, the Great Black Sky Rhino Demon King couldn't help but let out a swear word, forgetting that the Clan Leader of Blue Golden Tree Clan had also acquired such an auction item. Just directly using it like this? In the first match, no less! But it made sense! Had to use it, otherwise wouldn't that mean a direct loss? They didn't have the ability to pass the first round to begin with.
The Rhino Demon King then saw Tang San grin at it, saying, "Brother Rhino, do you concede? I can't control the power of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor. If I end up killing you with a single strike, you can't blame me, haha. I suggest it's better for you to concede. Look at this sword beam."
At this moment, the statue of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor had already exploded with a sword beam over a hundred meters high, with a terrifying sword intent that changed the color of the sky and earth.
The Great Black Sky Rhino Demon King gaped at the scene, his mind involuntarily recalling the Heavenly Earth Sword from the Red-crowned Crane Demon King Qiu Zixuan that day. His face immediately fell.
And just then, Tang San nodded to the Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor, saying, "Your Highness, I'm ready."
"Wait a minute, I concede." As soon as Tang San uttered the words "I'm ready," the Great Black Sky Rhino Demon King almost immediately shouted it out.
Although the words "I concede" were uttered with incredible internal struggle and immense pain. But what could it do? Of course, it thought it could easily overpower the Clan Leader of Blue Golden Tree Clan, but it did not believe it could withstand a strike from the Sword Saint Demon Emperor! If it were to be actually struck down, wouldn't that be too wrongful a death?
The hundred-meter high sword beam flashed once, for the Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor had already soared into the sky as soon as Tang San said he was ready, signaling the start of the match.
Tang San showed a pained expression, his rich life force ceaselessly surging into the statue, and only then did he manage to control the sword beam and prevent it from striking down explosively. He carefully withdrew the sword beam.
"You should have said so earlier! Had you said so, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble." After finally retracting the sword beam back into the statue and carefully storing the precious object back into his storage ring, Tang San complained to his opponent, then turned around and flew off.
"The Blue Golden Tree Clan's Jin Miaolin wins." The Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor announced the outcome of the battle.
The Rhino Demon King left with a dejected expression, having completely lost face! This was the only match since the beginning of the competition where defeat was conceded without a single blow being exchanged.
But it truly did not want to die!
The audience was also taken aback. Won? Jin Miaolin actually won the match? It was all thanks to the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue.
Yes! How could this be forgotten, he still had the statue of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor that could unleash the force of one strike.
This Rhino Demon King is too cowardly, how did it even know that it couldn't withstand this sword strike!
In fact, even Tang San didn't expect his opponent to be such a chicken. He hadn't even swung that sword before winning the match. It was just too easy. Moreover, the power of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue had not even been used.
But on the flip side, this also owed thanks to the Heavenly Earth Sword of the Red-crowned Crane Demon King Qiu Zixuan, which was so fierce that it intimidated all the contestants. Therefore, by the time Tang San summoned the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue, it had an effect that was more than double. Even Qiu Zixuan was so powerful, one could only imagine how strong a strike from the Sword Saint Demon Emperor would be! The Rhino Demon King thought about it and felt that he would die, and so he conceded defeat.
With this, Tang San had essentially made it into the second round, smoothly entering the top forty.
What he didn't know was that after this battle, he gained a new nickname, Purple Crystal Coin Warrior!
Yes, wasn't this just winning purely off of money? A Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue, bought with thousands of Purple Crystal Coins, outrightly won him a match.
Now all the strong figures who attended the auction had their guts turn green with regret. If they'd known earlier that the lineage of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor was this mighty, they should have bought that statue no matter the cost! Securing a victory in the battle for the throne was definitely worth it. And it seemed that Tang San hadn't even made use of it this time. Whoever draws him in the next round will without doubt have to face this sword strike!
Can this even be acceptable?
But no matter how you look at it, the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior had won the victory.
When Tang San returned to the resting room, Jin Miaosen and the other Elders were simply overjoyed.
"Awesome bro, you actually won a match. I completely forgot that you had the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue. So, can it be used again in the next match?" Jin Miaosen eagerly asked.
Feeling their hopeful gaze, Tang San smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "The opponent was too timid, gave up directly. The sword beam didn't even burst out. It can still be used. Hopefully, the next opponent will also be another who can't resist it."
"That's great. Haha. Bro, you know, if you really make it into the top eight, I wonder how many people will be shocked. Haha."
Tang San replied, "One step at a time, no rush."
To make it into the top eight, one had to win at least three matches.
However, although he won this match, it didn't cause much of a stir. After all, his victory was due to an external object. While it left people speechless, it was still reasonable. He had money, and wasn't the super auction held precisely for this battle for the throne? The item he purchased proved to be effective, what could anyone say?
Moreover, a Clan Leader of the Blue Golden Tree Clan advancing wouldn't affect the overall situation. The competition was still ultimately a contest between seeded players.
The competition continued. The strong competitors took to the stage one after another, with almost every match being fiercely contested and drenched in blood. There were very few matches with a huge disparity in strength that ended quickly. Qiu Zixuan with his single sword strike was an exception. Of course, Tang San was even more of an exception. The Rhino Demon King was originally weak, and its will to fight was not strong either.
Tang San kept quietly observing the competitors. It must be said that the Seed Players selected by the Ancestral Court were indeed very reasonable. All ten male Seed Players won their matches without a single upset. However, aside from these Seed Players, Tang San also noticed some mighty competitors. Among them, the Dragon Clan had the greatest number.
Out of all eighty-seven contestants, the Dragon Clan boasted seven, meaning seven Demon Kings from the Dragon Clan participated in the competition. And all seven passed the first round without drawing each other. Foundation, this was the foundation of a powerful Race.
The Owner of Sky-breaking City Jin Anguo, as well as Lan Moqian, both advanced with ease. Ning Chenen also managed to advance quite easily. In its match, it didn't even reveal too much fighting power, but its opponent simply couldn't break through its defensive power and eventually got knocked off the competition stage.
