Chapter 566: Chapter 557: Contest for the Jade Scroll

"What? Eliminate over 5000 people just like that!"

"This... this means over 5000 Martial Artists don’t even get to enter the arena, directly eliminated!"

Following Prince Guang’s remarks, an uproar arose once again.

At this moment, Prince Guang no longer paid attention to the noise, standing proudly in the void, quietly waiting. Waiting for the ten thousand Jade Scrolls to descend when the time came.

Many confident Martial Artists also began to wait in silence.

Half an incense’s time quickly passed.

Suddenly, shadows descended from the void, a mass of Flying Demon Beasts appeared in the air, and upon these beasts stood soldiers in Battle Armor, scattering down green Jade Scrolls.

Then, in the central area of Tianlan Imperial City, it was as if a rain of jade had started to fall.

"The competition begins!" At that moment, Prince Guang issued a low shout, and his voice echoed once again throughout Tianlan Imperial City.

As Prince Guang’s voice fell, the crowd below immediately shot towards the void, and the central area of Tianlan Imperial City, in an instant apart from the rain of jade, was filled with a dense multitude of Martial Artists’ figures weaving in and out.

This was a clash of over fifteen thousand figures! An intense battle for the scrolls immediately unfolded in the void!

Shi Feng, right after Prince Guang’s shout, also flew towards the void, darting among the crowd, aiming for a Jade Scroll he had already set his sights on.

However, at this moment, a dozen or so Martial Artists also rushed towards that same scroll at high speed!

"Trash, if you know what’s good for you, get lost!" At this time, a threatening shout suddenly rang out. A middle-aged, robust man with a fierce face, bare-chested, wielding a mace, also flew towards the scroll.

But seeing that they were about to reach the Jade Scroll, the dozen Martial Artists showed no sign of retreating. Seeing that his words had no effect, the middle-aged man’s face instantly twisted into a ferocious snarl, swinging his mace violently in the void.

Instantly, mace phantoms crisscrossed within this small area, densely covering the dozen Martial Artists. "Ah!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"Ah!"

Under the powerful assault, cries of pain and anguish resounded, with streaks of bright red blood splattering.

Looking at the thick mace phantoms, looking at the spurting blood as it scattered downwards, listening to the painful cries, a savage grin spread across the middle-aged man’s face, "Trash! I gave you a chance and you didn’t take it, you truly deserve to die!"

Towards the end of his statement, a ruthless look appeared on the middle-aged man’s face. "Huh?" It was then, just when the middle-aged man thought he would easily eliminate these people with his might and then just wait for the scroll to fall.

Yet unexpectedly, another foolhardy soul dared to swoop by me, flying toward the Jade Scroll above that I had set my sights on!

"Trash of the One-star Martial Emperor Realm!" The middle-aged brawny man spat venomously as he peered at the dark silhouette, then his face twisted into a malicious sneer, barking, "You’re courting death! Killing you is nothing but what you deserve!"

Following the shout, the middle-aged brawny man, who had momentarily paused, moved once more, wielding his wolf-tooth club, and smashed it toward the ascending dark silhouette! "This time, I’ll reduce this trash to pulp!"

The one-star Martial Emperor Realm trash that the middle-aged brawny man saw was naturally Shi Feng. Shi Feng came to a halt, reached out, and snatched the falling Jade Scroll into his hand.

By now, Shi Feng had already noticed a wolf-tooth club hurtling toward him with violent force from below.

"Scum!" Looking down at the incoming wolf-tooth club and the middle-aged brawny man who wielded it, Shi Feng murmured disdainfully, then lifted his right foot and stomped down on the club that was thrusting toward him!

"How insolent! A piece of trash from the One-star Martial Emperor Realm dares to scorn me! Die!" The middle-aged brawny man, witnessing Shi Feng’s action, couldn’t believe that this trash, fully aware of his incoming attack, not only failed to dodge or avoid it but also intended to shatter it with a single stomp. This was sheer contempt, and in his view, a tantamount to a death wish.

Soon after, the middle-aged brawny man in his hands reinforced the power behind the thrust of his wolf-tooth club even more.

With a thunderous "Bang!" an explosion sounded, and immediately, the complexion of the middle-aged brawny man drastically changed. Under that one-star Martial Emperor Realm trash’s foot, not only was his full-force blow completely shattered, but even the wolf-tooth club splintered apart.

"How... How could this be, he’s... he’s just trash from the One-star Martial Emperor Realm!" The middle-aged brawny man watched incredulously at what was unfolding. He himself... he was a Three-star Martial Venerable!

All of a sudden, the sturdy body of the middle-aged brawny man shuddered violently. Just now, as his attack was broken and his wolf-tooth club shattered, a potent force traveled up the club, into his palm, then along his arm and surged into his body.

"Pugh!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from the middle-aged brawny man’s mouth. Feeling the changes inside him, he was horrified to detect that his organs, meridians, and even bones were rapidly being destroyed by that force. Even his heart was fractured.

"This... This power... how could it be... from a Martial Emperor Realm trash..." The middle-aged brawny man struggled to believe as he sensed his completely ruined body. Then his eyes abruptly widened, and a sudden realization struck him, "Pretending! To be! A pig! To eat! Tigers!"

"I! Hate! This!"

"Pugh!" Immediately afterward, another gush of blood erupted, spouting like a fountain from his mouth. As understanding dawned upon him, his consciousness rapidly ebbed away, like a tidal wave receding from his mind.

A Three-star Martial Venerable of unknown name fell! What’s more, as he collapsed, blood continued to spew from his mouth, his body began to wilt, and in a matter of moments, he turned into a withered corpse, plummeting rapidly towards the ground.

The battle over the Jade Scrolls in the Void continued, and the killing persistently played out.

Having secured a Jade Scroll, Shi Feng did not return to the ground but remained standing proudly in the Void. Following the principle of not wasting, he absorbed the Power of Death, Soul Power, and the fresh blood of the fallen Martial Artists.

In the Void, dried corpses continued to fall sporadically, and from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard every time one of these withered bodies landed.

Only when the deaths began to subside did Shi Feng move and descend to the crowd below.

After him, other Martial Artists also began to return to the ground.

Above the crowd, Prince Guang, draped in a golden Dragon Robe, still stood imperiously, looking down. Since the beginning of the battle, Prince Guang’s attention had been fixed on the dark silhouette in the Void that was devouring blood.
