C998 The Second Round Was a Showdown of Runes
"My heavens are Shen Hu!"
His voice was filled with astonishment, and it instantly caused the entire Coiled Flood Dragon Platform to explode. Everyone's pupils tightly shrank, and thick shock surged out of each and every one of their faces.
The Patriarch of the Shen Family in the host's arena suddenly stood up.
At the same time, over a dozen people from the Shen Family quickly jumped down, and rushed towards the plaza.
"Young Master Shen Hu."
An old man helped Shen Hu up to have a look, but he only saw that the other party's eyes were dull and trembling, as if he had received an unprecedented blow.
It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but upon seeing it, the old man was shocked.
His expression suddenly changed, and his trembling gaze turned towards the Shen Family Patriarch. "B-Patriarch, young master's Dao Tree, has been … destroyed!"
What?
Boom!
Once he said this, the entire audience was once again in an uproar.
Especially the people with Shen Family, their minds were instantly struck by thunder from a clear sky. All of their faces were deathly pale, as shock and anger mixed together …
With the destruction of the Dao Tree, it became a cripple immediately.
To agglomerate another Dao Seed, would probably be extremely difficult.
Quite a few people frowned and clenched their fists, secretly shaking their heads.
A perfectly fine genius had been destroyed just like that.
"Who did it?"
The Patriarch of the Shen Family bellowed fiercely. His eyes turned scarlet as his ice-cold gaze swept across the bodies of Su Lingzhu, Song Xiu and the other geniuses in the audience area.
The expressions of the crowd all changed. Anyone could feel the cold intent emanating from the other party.
Su Lingzhu's expression did not fluctuate much, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, and subconsciously swept a glance at Chu Hen who was seated opposite of her.
"So ruthless!" "To think that even the Dao Tree s have been destroyed. This is even more cruel than killing them with one slash," Zheng Shu sighed as he shook his head.
The one who spoke didn't have any intention, but the one who heard had his own heart.
Long Xuanshuang, Ye Yao, Mu Feng and the others could not help but observe Chu Hen from the side. From beginning to end, Chu Hen had a very calm demeanor, and did not feel the least bit surprised.
Clearly, this matter was very clear.
However, everyone understood what he meant and didn't deliberately ask.
After all, they were clear that it was not for no reason that Chu Hen would be so vicious.
"Is this a provocation to our Whale Island City?" The Liu Family genius Liu Yan's gaze turned slightly cold, but a slight arc still hung on his face.
Shui Feng sneered from the side, "Even if your skills are inferior to others, you can't blame others."
Chi Juexin squinted his eyes, with a look of intense interest on his face, he said, "Hehe, this is getting more interesting, this fish is truly restless."
Liu Yan was startled, and then as if he understood something, a sense of understanding surged out of his eyes.
The Patriarch of Shen Family was so angry that the atmosphere of the entire audience became rather tense.
The crowd below didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
And just at this moment, City Master Chi Ming said in a bland voice, "War of Heavenly Talisman, since it's a competition, it's hard to avoid circumstances where life and death are decided by accident.
Even though Chi Ming's tone was very calm, the Shen Family Patriarch's expression immediately changed. He immediately realized just how foolish his actions were.
"City Master is right, this humble one has lost my composure!"
Chi Ming raised his gaze slightly, then stood up and said, "Everyone, fists and feet have no eyes, and Strength of Rune is even more dangerous. But all those who are injured in War of Heavenly Talisman, have their own responsibilities, and no one is to investigate it afterwards."
"The City Master is wise!" Everyone below the stage responded in unison.
And after hearing Chi Ming's words, the nervous atmosphere of the entire audience immediately dissolved, and the crowd of participants became relieved.
The first round of battles had ended!
After the atmosphere had stabilized, Shui Yuan, who was in charge of hosting the competition, said loudly, "I believe that the first round of War of Heavenly Talisman's elimination round is over. I believe that none of the spectators here have had the time to watch it.
"Hua!"
In a split-second, the entire audience burst into cheers.
"Haha, will the second round begin today?"
"I thought we'd have to wait until tomorrow!"
"The second round will definitely be exciting."
It could be seen that the crowd was already impatient, and all the other competitors were visibly moved.
If the first round of the competition was only the first level challenges, then the second round would definitely be a test of strength.
"I believe four hours is enough time for everyone to adjust their state of mind. Let me briefly talk about the second round's main topic."
Shui Yuan's voice was loud and powerful.
"The main topic is, in a one on one battle, the victor will be promoted and the loser will be eliminated!"
A one-on-one battle?
Everyone was startled.
Shui Yuan continued, and said, "Of course, during the battle, you can only use the runes, you cannot use the power of the Martial Arts at all. As for the specific rules, you can talk about them in detail after four hours, everyone can freely move around to rest now."
After Shui Yuan finished his speech, the crowd dispersed into a clamor.
City Master Chi Ming and the four Patriarchs also walked down from the Dao Pillar and ascended to a luxurious golden jade pavilion on Saint Flood Dragon Island.
The majority of the people stayed on Saint Flood Dragon Island. After all, not only was the island large, but the environment was also very good.
A small number of people returned to the Whale Island City to rest atop flying Demonic Beast.
"The first round is not too fun. Even with the Black Illusory Tower, I can't see what's happening inside!"
"That's right, who was it that crippled Shen Hu?"
"I think it's Su Lingzhu. The two of them are in the fourth region."
"No, no, it's not Su Lingzhu. There's someone else."0
After leaving the Coiled Flood Dragon Platform, Chu Hen and his group found a quiet place to rest.
"Brother Chu Hen, are we not going back to the inner city?" Zheng Shu asked.
"Go back to what?" "It's only been four hours, we'll just have to stroll around here for a bit." Qiao Xiaowan took the opportunity to speak, and then, he turned to Ye Yao and said, "Do you want to go to the beach to play?"
"En!" Ye Yao readily agreed.
Afterwards, the two girls brought a 'black and white cat' with them as they happily walked around the beach. The cool and refreshing seawater pounced on them and overflowed their footprints, leaving behind puddles of water …
Chu Hen laughed, then turned to Zheng Shu and said, "Brother Zheng, if you still have anything else, you can go back first!"
"Haha, I came alone to the inner city. I'll go with you guys when I return. Moreover, the second round of the competition is extremely exhausting. It's better to rest here than going back and forth."
Zheng Shu said, and looked around, "I hope we do not meet those people, or else we will not make it to the last round."
The 'those few people' the other party was referring to was naturally Chi Juexin, Su Lingzhu, Liu Yan and Song Xiu.
Similarly, Long Xuanshuang, Mouse and the others were secretly worried for Chu Hen.
Putting aside the Martial Arts realm, Chu Hen's realm on the Rune Arts was still only at the Earth Pattern Master realm, but Liu Yan, Song Xiu, Su Lingzhu, Su Lingzhu and the others had all reached the Heavenly Pattern Master realm.
The difference was obvious.
This second round of rules seemed to be purposely aimed at Chu Hen, even though the system that had been used since ancient times was this kind of one.
