Chapter 56

Seeing this, Zifu stood up and said lightly, “I’ll go next!”

Now that the first battle has ended, it’s naturally time to start the next round. Given the presence of Jiang Chen and Qin Ershi, they’re not planning any strategy like assigning matches based on weakness.

Otherwise, having Qin Ershi in the second round and Jiang Chen in the third round, no one from the ancient imperial clans could withstand them!

Mainly because Jiang Chen doesn’t care, he can win against anyone. And Qin Ershi is a very proud person; naturally, he wouldn’t appear in the second round.

He believes the second round should be Cang Wu’s turn, such an existence is not worthy of his effort. He would rather confront beings like the White Tiger God Son and the Vermilion Bird Maiden.

“Be careful, they might send someone very strong to win!” Jiang Chen cautioned a few words. Although he has no real connection with these people, as temporary teammates, he still reminded them.

“Mhm!” Zifu responded with a nod, then stepped forward.

On the side of the foreign races, the Vermilion Bird Maiden stepped out. The reason it was the Vermilion Bird Maiden was that the foreign races wanted to secure a victory to boost morale.

Moreover, they bet that the human side would pursue their victory by sending out Jiang Chen or Qin Ershi. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen and the others did not do so.

Apart from their pride, making them disdain such actions, another reason was that Lu Yuan and Zifu wanted to participate. They were prepared for defeat.

Even knowing they would lose, they still wanted to experience fighting against these God Sons. Such an opportunity was unprecedented.

“Why is it you!” Seeing it was Zifu, the Vermilion Bird Maiden frowned, extremely displeased. She had thought it would be Qin Ershi. She felt the chances of Jiang Chen appearing were slim, likely saving him for later rounds.

‘It seems I was wrong.’

“I am enough! Defeating you does not require their participation!” Although knowing he is outmatched, he cannot show weakness in spirit. Moreover, Zifu still harbors some confidence within.

“Ignorance!” The Vermilion Bird Maiden coldly shouted, a hint of golden light emerging in her eyes, like flames, as she pushed her hands forward.

Whoosh!

A torrent of golden flames surged out like a tidal wave, spreading across the entire arena at an astonishing speed.

Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. A unique ability of the Vermilion Bird clan. This divine fire is tremendously powerful and extremely difficult to deal with.

It can burn the soul, possessing a formidable killing power against spirits. With these abilities, the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire is unmatched.

Moreover, the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire has the ability to be reborn from ashes. Even if the Vermilion Bird is annihilated, there’s a chance for rebirth and resurgence. Because of this, the Vermilion Bird clan is extremely difficult to kill and to deal with.

…

“Great Dao Celestial Wheel!” Knowing he is outmatched, Zifu did not give up. The divine power within his body erupted, endless Dao patterns covering the entire sky, condensing into a massive wheel.

Like a carrier of the Dao, the wheel was densely covered with Dao patterns, its aura astonishing. This is a supreme technique from the Supreme Dao Palace, controlling the power of the Dao, wielding the Dao. Its power is extremely formidable.

Boom.

When the two collided, golden flames entwined around the giant wheel, like maggots in bone, no matter how the wheel unleashed its power, it couldn’t disperse the flames. Instead, the flames continuously burned, devouring the wheel.

“It’s over!” The Vermilion Bird Maiden, appearing before Zifu at some point, placed a palm on his head.

Hum.

A glow emerged on Zifu’s forehead, a beam of light shooting out towards the Vermilion Bird Maiden.

“Trivial skill!” The Vermilion Bird Maiden coldly huffed, her eyes turning golden. The golden eyes emitted endless majesty, like an emperor looking down upon the mortal world.

A beam of light shot from her eyes, colliding with Zifu’s attack.

Bang.

The golden light directly shattered Zifu’s attack, piercing through his head! Then. Zifu’s body completely exploded.

All that was left was a desperate and powerless Zifu. However, the Vermilion Bird Maiden did not strike a killing blow, not because she didn’t want to, but because it was unnecessary.

In this place, with many powerful beings of the human race present, they wouldn’t give her the chance. Even if she had made a move, it would have been blocked in the end. So, rather than act and invite more trouble, she chose not to.

“Zifu is still too green compared to the Vermilion Bird Maiden!” A powerful being from the Supreme Dao Palace said with a complex expression.

Actually, from the beginning, he knew it was impossible for Zifu to be a match, but still harbored a sliver of hope for a miracle. If Zifu could have achieved it, he could have used this opportunity to transform. Unfortunately, the gap was still too big.

“What’s there to pity!”

“Losing to our clan’s Maiden is inevitable. Did you really think he could win?” A powerful being from the Vermilion Bird clan said indifferently.

There was nothing surprising about the outcome. If Zifu had defeated the Vermilion Bird Maiden, that would have been the real shock. Obviously, such a thing is impossible and would not happen.

If Jiang Chen were there, he would definitely have something to say. That’s because Zifu is not the protagonist. If it were Du Guyun, he would definitely erupt in a burst, directly defeating the Vermilion Bird Maiden under adverse conditions.

From then on, the Vermilion Bird Maiden would be incredibly shocked, keeping Du Guyun in her heart. This would lead to a series of events, causing the Vermilion Bird Maiden to fall for Dugu Yun, eventually becoming one of the beauties in his harem!

Zifu’s defeat silenced the surroundings. Although hope was slim, seeing Zifu lose still made the human side extremely uncomfortable. After all, no one wants to be defeated. Even if it was expected, it’s hard not to feel stirred inside.

The tide has turned. Initially, the victory of the Pure Yang Holy Son left the foreign races eating humble pie. Now that they’ve won, they naturally didn’t forget to return the favor, sweeping in all sorts of mocking and ridicule.

Listening to the human side’s irritation, they immediately retorted back. Soon, chaos erupted again.

“Ah, I’ve let everyone down, I lost! The gap between her and me is still quite large!” Zifu said, shaking his head helplessly.

“You’ve lost, so what? Who hasn’t lost before? Just win next time!” Jiang Chen comforted.

“Primordial oly Son, you’ve lost before?” Zifu immediately perked up, curiously asking.

“That, I have not!” Jiang Chen calmly responded.

Everyone: … No need to say anything then?
