This kind of battle royale greatly increased the elimination rate, which was too unfair for those with low cultivation.
Because once they met an unbeatable opponent, there would be no turning back, and they would only be eliminated.
For a moment, all kinds of protests were heard.
"How can it be a battle royale?
This is too unfair! "
"Yeah, once we meet the so-called number one of the younger generation in the East Continent, who can advance to the finals?"
"Not only that, the nine sects all have the strongest one. If we meet them, we have no chance at all, and we will only be eliminated!"
"What's the point of saying so much?
It's our fault for being weak … "
Listening to all kinds of dissatisfied discussions, Gongsun Yubin's expression gradually turned cold.
He gathered his Qi in his Dantian and shouted loudly, "If anyone is dissatisfied with the rules of the competition, you can withdraw and forfeit!"
As soon as he said this, all the dissatisfied discussions were suppressed, and the huge square became quiet.
Everyone looked at Gongsun Yubin simultaneously, their eyes were either dissatisfied or angry.
With a heavy snort, Gongsun Yubin waved his hand, "Now, I announce the official start of the finals of the nine sects!"
Boom …!
The fiery atmosphere was ignited at this moment, and reached its peak.
The 135 disciples of the nine sects, including Wang Yan, all shot toward the ring at lightning speed.
A tyrannical aura emanated from each of the figures, intertwining with each other to form a terrifying pressure.
From afar, it looked like a swarm of locusts, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
After landing on the ring, the figures spread out and stared at everyone around them with full vigilance.
After all, this was a battle royale, and everyone could be their opponent.
The one with the weakest cultivation had become the target of public criticism at this moment.
But no one chose to make a move, and they all looked around with vigilance.
Wang Yan, who was crowned as the number one of the younger generation in the East Continent, naturally became the focus of everyone.
No one dared to approach within a radius of a mile around him.
It was as if Wang Yan was a dormant fierce beast, and anyone who approached would be devoured and destroyed.
"Kill!"
At this moment, someone shouted angrily, and the delicate stalemate was instantly broken.
Astral power burst out, and astral winds swept.
A series of ear-piercing whooshing sounds rang incessantly.
At this moment, the void above the arena rippled like boiling water in a large iron pot.
The Star Force whizzed over and shuttled back and forth, causing the void to churn and distort.
Everyone picked an opponent that they believed they could defeat and used their full strength to achieve an overwhelming victory in the shortest time possible.
This was the only way to make time to eliminate the others and avoid being attacked from all sides.
The only person who did not move, not even moving his feet, was Wang Yan.
It wasn't that Wang Yan didn't want to move, but that no one was willing to approach him.
Every time Wang Yan's gaze landed on someone, the person he stared at would choose to stay far away from him.
It was as if Wang Yan was a poisonous snake that could choose its prey at any time, and everyone was afraid to avoid him.
Wang Yan smiled bitterly when he saw this.
If this situation continued, he would be able to get a bye in the Nine Sect Grand Competitions every time and easily enter the top ten.
But just as this thought appeared in Wang Yan's mind, it was shattered by a sudden scene.
The group of eight slowly moved closer to Wang Yan. Then, they moved into a tight encirclement, surrounding him.
"What, you plan to eliminate me first?"
Wang Yan was surprised. He never thought that the first to attack him would be the top eight of the Sun Sect's Hidden Dragon Leaderboard.
His gaze swept across Han Qianjue, Lie Feng Lei, Xiao Mei 'er, and the others, and Wang Yan couldn't help but snicker.
"I thought it was someone from the other sects who attacked me. I didn't expect it to be someone from the same sect."
Wang Yan curled his lips. "That's good too. I can use this opportunity to see what kind of people the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard are."
"Is it like the rumors say? That everyone's cultivation is unfathomable, and they can create clouds and rain with a flip of their hand?"
Wang Yan's words sounded like he was complimenting Han Qianjue's group, but it was actually a form of mockery.
As fellow sect members, Han Qianjue's group didn't work together to eliminate the other sects' disciples, but instead targeted him.
From this, it could be seen that everything had been discussed beforehand.
"Wang Guqing, you've misunderstood. They want to work together to target you, not me."
Just at this moment, Xiao Mei 'er took a step back and looked at the shocked Wang Yan with her beautiful eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. They are them, and I am me."
Then, Xiao Mei 'er smiled charmingly, "Wang Guqing, I wish you good luck. At the same time, I hope that you can show mercy to them."
Seeing Xiao Mei 'er join the other groups and eliminate their opponents, Han Qianjue's eyes became colder and colder.
Smiling indifferently, Wang Yan shook his head, "Since you have already decided, then make your move."
"I will also show mercy to you. I won't let you lose too badly."
When Wang Yan's words came out, everyone looked at Han Qianjue.
The plan to work together to target Wang Yan was proposed by Han Qianjue.
In Han Qianjue's words, if they didn't eliminate Wang Yan, there would be no place for them in the Sun Sect.
Even if Wang Yan got into the top three of the Nine Sects Competition, when he returned to the Sun Sect, more than half of the resources would be tilted to him.
In this way, the ten disciples of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, who were originally known as influential figures in the Sun Sect, would become a joke.
Because of this, the others agreed to Han Qianjue's plan, but they didn't have any confidence.
A person's name was like a tree's shadow.
There was no need to prove how strong Wang Yan was.
Even the Martial Saint Bai Ruxue could capture him alive, which was enough to prove his strength.
"I admit that you are strong, but even if the seven of us work together, you might not be a match for us."
Han Qianjue's eyes were extremely cold and sharp.
They were like two knives, making people's eyeballs hurt when they looked at them.
"As the number one of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, you talk too much."
"If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I have no interest in wasting my time here."
Instantly, Han Qianjue frowned and took a step forward.
A powerful aura was released without holding back, turning into a heavy pressure, acting on Wang Yan.
"Do it!"
Following Han Qianjue's cold shout, the other six all took a step forward, their auras exploding.
The auras of the seven mixed together, forming an extremely powerful pressure, causing Wang Yan's expression to change slightly.
Although this pressure wasn't terrifying, it was extremely strong.
Even the pressure from Hua Wuren, who once made Wang Yan feel a strong sense of danger, couldn't be compared to it.
"Star Shattering Palm!"
Someone shouted angrily, and Han Qianjue, who was facing Wang Yan, instantly struck out a ferocious palm!
