C329 Endless Challenge!(2)
If he doesn't challenge Woo Zhengyang, what's the point of being the first to challenge?
Moh Lunhui scanned the crowd, his gaze sending a chill down the spine of many. This was the infamous "God of Death," who had fought his way from Dongjue Country to the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, leaving a trail of defeated prodigies in his wake. Even though he had lost to Woo Zhengyang, he still instilled fear in many.
Despite their fear, most people were there just for the spectacle. They knew that with their current skills, earning any real points would take years, so they were simply there to learn and observe. Surely, Moh Lunhui wouldn't challenge someone just for a single point, right? That would make his first-place position seem trivial.
However, Moh Lunhui's next move shocked everyone who thought that way.
"I challenge the fifty-sixth place!"
Fifty-sixth place! Out of all fifty-six participants in the Ultimate Battle, Moh Lunhui, as the top contender, chose to challenge the last place. No one saw that coming.
Suddenly, everyone understood why Moh Lunhui had been looking around earlier—he was counting heads! The crowd was speechless, and the Heavenly Martial Seed in fifty-sixth place was stunned.
But according to the rules, before he could even react, he found himself standing opposite the notorious "God of Death," completely petrified.
Soon after, he saw Moh Lunhui's left hand produce a sword, which he swung effortlessly...
"I concede..."
Finally realizing the situation, the fifty-sixth contestant admitted defeat, but he forgot the rules of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association: to concede, you must throw your number card away!
"Slash..."
The fifty-sixth contestant's body was split in two by Moh Lunhui's sword, falling through the golden light curtain, and was then sent out of the Heavenly Martial Realm...
From the moment Moh Lunhui issued the challenge to the death of the fifty-sixth contestant, it was only a matter of seconds.
The crowd, initially silent, now wore expressions of shock.
They had no time to ponder why Moh Lunhui challenged the last-ranked contestant or why he used a sword instead of his usual finger technique.
As for the top layer of the ranking tower, Moh Lunhui's score changed to thirty, which everyone overlooked.
Their hearts were filled with nothing but shock and fear!
Was Moh Lunhui's challenge to the last-ranked contestant a random act, or was he planning to eliminate everyone one by one? If it was the latter, didn't that mean everyone was in danger?
Soon, Moh Lunhui's voice provided the crowd with an answer.
"I challenge the fifty-fifth contestant!"
A flash of light, and another Heavenly Martial Seed appeared opposite Moh Lunhui.
Unlike the previous contestant's daze, this person's face showed only fear.
Without a moment's hesitation, the person pulled out the number card they were holding. What was once a treasured possession now felt like a deadly poison, and they tossed it away. As the card left their hand, the terror on the face of the person ranked fifty-fifth finally eased a bit, but only for a moment.
Just as they threw the card, Moh Lunhui struck again, unleashing another swift sword attack! Not being in the top ten, the person was about to be ejected from the Heavenly Martial Realm, but this process took a breath or two. Moh Lunhui's sword, however, didn't allow them even that brief moment.
As their body was about to be taken away, Moh Lunhui's sword struck. The fifty-fifth ranked person vanished, but the blood sprayed in mid-air made it clear to everyone that they were sent out of the Heavenly Martial Realm as nothing more than a corpse sliced in two.
The crowd fell silent, the only sound being Moh Lunhui's voice continuing, "I challenge the fifty-fourth!"
"Ah... wow... please don't kill me..." The fifty-fourth ranked was a woman from the Dance Sect, paralyzed with fear by Moh Lunhui's sudden onslaught. It wasn't until she found herself on the stage that she snapped back to reality. Terrified, she couldn't even muster the courage to throw her number card away. Instead, she burst into tears at the sight of Moh Lunhui.
Unfortunately, Moh Lunhui was not one to be swayed by tears.
A single sword strike, and the person was split in two!
"I challenge the fifty-third rank!" Moh Lunhui said calmly, continuing his declaration.
This time, however, no one appeared in the arena. As soon as Moh Lunhui spoke, the fifty-third rank let out a startled cry and threw away their number card. By the time Moh Lunhui finished speaking, that person had already been ejected from the Heavenly Martial Realm, and the fifty-third rank no longer existed.
According to the rules, during Moh Lunhui's challenge, anyone who left the Heavenly Martial Realm, whether on the arena or not, would have their points transferred to Moh Lunhui. Including the previous three challengers, Moh Lunhui's score had now reached thirty-three points.
"I challenge the fifty-second rank!" Moh Lunhui continued.
Following the precedent, the fifty-second rank also discarded their number card before Moh Lunhui even finished speaking, so once again, no one appeared in the arena.
"I challenge the fifty-first rank..." Moh Lunhui's voice echoed again, like a haunting melody...
