The battle was very intense, but because everyone was very restrained, no one died.
As the situation became more and more serious, everyone was getting serious. Nobody could guarantee that nobody would die.
Of the 10 teams, three relatively stronger teams were attacking the other three teams. The remaining four teams were fighting one against three.
Guan Qianqiu and his team were strong. Five against 15. Even though all five were injured, none of them were seriously injured. They were able to withstand the attacks of the 15. On the other hand, three of the 15 had been injured and had lost the ability to fight.
"If you don't leave now, then don't blame me for being harsh!"
Guan Qianqiu brandished his sword, enveloping his entire body in it. After blocking several attacks, he roared in rage.
He had never imagined that there would be three teams that would dare to join forces to ambush them. He thought that he was the strongest among all of them.
Not only did he want to get into the Celestial Emperor Sect, he wanted to get in first place and make a name for himself in the Celestial Emperor Sect. Eventually, he would become the leader of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
He had a grand plan and he didn't want to stop here. He would be too ashamed to go back to his family.
Everyone in his family had high hopes for him. Everyone in his city knew that he had come to the recruitment ceremony. Before he came, he had boasted that he would make it to the Top 5 or he wouldn't go back.
Therefore, he was enraged. Now that the battle was going on, if he didn't defeat the more than 10 teams soon, the other teams would come and take advantage of the situation.
Once one of the three strong teams came, they would be in trouble.
"Boom!"
Lu Li and his team had it easy. Hu Shimeng was fending off attacks from the other side, Wang Ningxue was distracting him, Heaven's Leaf was releasing soul attacks, Gu Shanqiu was helping Hu Shimeng and Lu Li was at the back releasing Honest Talismans.
One of the opponents was already badly injured. He knew he had no chance of making it to the next round so he admitted defeat and teleported away in case he was accidentally killed.
Seeing that Hu Shimeng was about to attack the second person, Lu Li said to the others at the same time, "The four of them are not strong. If we attack with all we have, we can defeat them in an instant.
So, we don't have to rush. We can play with them slowly and at the same time, observe the situation and react accordingly.
If we defeat them now, who will we attack later? "
Lu Li's words made Hu Shimeng, Wang Ningxue, Jun Tian Ye and the others ponder. Their attacks were weakened. After a while, they all agreed with Lu Li.
Just as Lu Li said, if they defeated these people now, who would they attack next?
Attack Guan Qianqiu and the others?
At this moment, Guan Qianqiu had gone berserk and seemed to be going all out. If they attacked them, even if they could win, they would definitely have to pay a price. At that time, others might be able to take advantage of the chaos.
If he didn't attack Guan Qianqiu, then who should he attack? Attacking anyone right now would not be a good thing. It would be easy for both sides to be injured. It was better to stall for time and watch the tigers fight.
The four players on the other side had already given up all hope. Just as they were about to try their best to drag two people down with them, they realized that Lu Li and Hu Shimeng's attack had suddenly weakened.
Although it was very aggressive and many of its moves looked very scary, it was just for show and did not have much offensive power.
Wang Ningxue floated around like a ghost. It seemed like the battle on their side was very intense.
The four of them were relieved. They looked at each other and cooperated with Lu Li and the others. They released some attractive attacks as well. The two sides were clashing.
Lu Li wanted to stall for time and watch the tigers fight. Naturally, the four of them wanted to stall for time to recover and find a chance.
Therefore, the two sides agreed without prior consultation. The fight was quite lively. Some of them were covered in blood but those were only superficial wounds. None of them were hurt.
"Piss off!"
Guan Qianqiu shouted. In an instant, he swung his sword and generated thousands of sword shadows.
The thousands of sword shadows condensed into one sword shadow in midair. It hit one of them and pierced into his abdomen.
"Boom!"
That sword shadow exploded in his abdomen. Countless small swords flew out. At this moment, he felt his abdomen, chest, and back were all pierced by the small swords. There were many small wounds on his body. Blood gushed out. He was like a sieve.
It was not a big deal for a powerful warrior to bleed. It was not a big deal for him to bleed dry. He wouldn't die even if his internal organs were crushed.
However, Guan Qianqiu's attack had severed many of this man's energy channels. His elixir was shaken as well. This had hurt his vitality.
"Pff …"
The man spat out some blood. He knew very well that he could not stay here any longer. Otherwise, he would die. He made up his mind and admitted defeat. Then, he was teleported out.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, one of Guan Qianqiu's team was smashed away by the three.
Someone nearby saw that this man was injured. Instantly, several people attacked him like hail. That man knew he could not hold on any longer. He shouted, "I admit defeat!"
This man was teleported out by force. Otherwise, he could have been killed. Guan Qianqiu's heart sank. His team was down one man and another was seriously injured. His combat ability was greatly reduced. This time, they were doomed.
"Even if I lose, I will not let you have it easy!"
Guan Qianqiu's eyes were red. Even if he could not advance, he would drag some of the three teams down with him. He could not let them have it easy.
On the other side, Group Two and Group Ten were fighting against two teams. Clearly, both sides had the upper hand. But the two teams were smart.
After gaining the upper hand, they learned from Lu Li and started to fake the fight.
The three teams were sure to win. They didn't defeat their opponents right away because they were waiting for Guan Qianqiu and the other three teams to finish fighting.
By then, they could clean up the mess and the three teams could advance easily.
Even though Lu Li and the others were attacking, their minds were on the other teams. After a while, Hu Shimeng suddenly sent a message to Lu Li and the others, "Guan Qianqiu sent me a message. He asked us to help him as long as we can beat back the three teams.
As long as we can defeat those three teams, they will cooperate with us.
They don't care if they can advance or not. They just want to vent their anger. What do you think? "
Lu Li frowned. Wang Ning Xue, Jun Tian Ye and Gu Shanqiu's eyes lit up. If Guan Qianqiu could help them, then their team could advance for sure.
Even though one of Guan Qianqiu's team had been eliminated and one was seriously injured, Guan Qianqiu alone could fight against three average warriors at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation.
This was a good opportunity. As long as they could help Guan Qianqiu vent his anger, then Guan Qianqiu could definitely help them advance. Anyone would be tempted by such a good thing.
Lu Li wasn't tempted. Instead, he sensed something was hidden. He believed that there must be many people here talking to each other. They were all working together and plotting against others.
Guan Qianqiu was the most popular person. Would he be willing to be someone else's dowry?
"Okay, I agree!"
"Me too!"
"I have no objections."
