C203 Love Rival
Ye Hongtian took a deep breath and slowly stood up. His eyes had lost their vision because of the blood loss. His eyes were red.
He secretly released his soul force to cover his eyes. When he saw that Mu Mercury had come to his side, he turned around and cupped his fists at Mu Mercury and bowed.
"Ye Hongtian, I remember that you're proficient in the Concept of Space, right?" Mu Mercury looked at Ye Hongtian and said seriously.
The fact that Ye Hongtian was proficient in the Concept of Space was no longer a secret in the Martial Shattering Continent. It had long been exposed. Therefore, it wasn't strange for Mu Mercury to know about this.
"Kid, you're slow-witted. You can only say that you've only scratched the surface." Ye Hongtian said modestly.
Hearing Ye Hongtian admit that he had learned the Concept of Space, Mu Mercury's expression became serious. He turned to stare at the maze painting and said, "Don't try to comprehend this painting again. Otherwise, you'll die a miserable death!"
With that said, Mu Mercury pressed the token he had taken in front of the door on the maze painting. A black hole immediately appeared on the maze painting, leading to an unknown place.
"Participants, stand in front and enter this black hole one after another. This is the place where you fight. Whether you live or die inside doesn't matter. Those who wish to withdraw can choose not to enter." Mercury shouted at the crowd.
Participants walked out from the crowd one by one. They lined up in a very well-coordinated manner and stood in front of Mu Mercury. There were a total of ninety-four people. It seemed like they had just withdrawn quite a bit.
After the participants gathered, Mu Mercury nodded at Ye Hongtian. Ye Hongtian understood and headed towards the black hole in the maze painting.
At that moment, a piercing sound was heard. A young man rushed over from outside the secret chamber at an extremely fast speed.
After landing, the young man stuck close to Gao Yuling. He smiled at Gao Yuling and looked at Ye Hongtian with a frown.
"Jiang Qin!" Gao Yuling glared at the young man and shouted.
Jiang Qin had a joyful expression on his face after being called by Gao Yuling. He hurriedly agreed, as if he did not notice the expression on Gao Yuling's face.
After staying with Gao Yuling for a while, Jiang Qin turned around and looked at Ye Hongtian with disdain. After looking at Ye Hongtian from head to toe, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"You are Ye Hongtian? I thought you were a monster with three heads and six arms. I am really disappointed." Jiang Qin said with a mocking smile on his face.
When Ye Hongtian heard this, his face became gloomy. This Jiang Qin sticking to Gao Yuling had already made him very unhappy, and now he was mocking him in front of everyone. This was obviously aimed at him.
"Who are you?" Ye Hongtian asked with a gloomy face.
He did not have the impulse to directly suppress Jiang Qin's situation. After all, he did not understand the other party's strength yet. If he rashly attacked, he would definitely suffer.
"Me? You don't know who I am? Listen up! My name is Jiang Qin, the grandson of the Blackheaven Sect's Grand Elder. I heard that Rain Numinous is holding a spouse finding martial competition today, so I came over to take a look. I want to see who dares to have designs on my woman!"
Jiang Qin's expression became increasingly gloomy as he spoke. His aura instantly swept across the entire secret chamber. An aura belonging to the sixth level of the Void Essence Realm pressed down on everyone present until they were unable to breathe.
"Sixth level of the Void Origin Stage? How is this possible? How did he do it? " Gao Yuling covered his mouth as he stared at Jiang Qin, who was standing in front of him.
Half a year ago, Jiang Qin was only a half-step Void Origin Stage martial artist, and his cultivation was slightly weaker than hers. However, in this half a year, Jiang Qin's cultivation had actually improved by leaps and bounds.
This speed was something that even Wang Mohen and Ye Hongtian could not match up to. Although they did not know what method they had used, this aura that belonged to the sixth level of the Void Origin Stage was indeed very authentic.
At this moment, the corners of Mu Mercury's mouth revealed a trace of a smile, and his gaze as he looked at Jiang Qin was filled with disdain.
"Jiang Yue should be angered to death this time. I didn't expect that Jiang Qin would actually absorb the accumulated energy in his body in advance for the sake of Rain Numinous. He's really stupid and cute. Let's see how Ye Hongtian deals with this." Mu Mercury muttered in a low voice.
At this moment, Ye Hongtian and Jiang Qin were looking at each other under Jiang Qin's aura. The aura of a sixth-layer Void Origin Stage cultivator was extremely powerful. Even Ye Hongtian found it hard to breathe.
However, he did not reveal an unbearable appearance like the others present. An aura that did not belong to the eighth level of Qi Refinement erupted from his body, blocking Jiang Qin's aura suppression.
Jiang Qin was shocked when he saw this. Immediately, he sneered. Although Ye Hongtian had resisted the suppression of his imposing manner, Ye Hongtian's imposing manner was clearly not as powerful as his imposing manner. He could only barely defend.
After withdrawing his aura, Jiang Qin glanced at Mu Mercury and plunged headfirst into the black hole on the maze painting, leaving Ye Hongtian staring at the black hole on the painting with a solemn expression.
After Jiang Qin entered the maze painting, everyone present immediately felt much more relaxed. They kept gasping for breath. This was the first time they felt that the air was so delicious.2
"Sixth Elder, you just said that life and death doesn't matter after entering the painting, right?" Ye Hongtian turned around and asked with a serious face.
Mu Mercury was shocked when she heard that. Since Ye Hongtian asked this, she could roughly guess what Ye Hongtian wanted to do. This made her sigh at Ye Hongtian's boldness.
Putting aside the question of whether Ye Hongtian dared to do it or not, even if Ye Hongtian dared to do it, could Ye Hongtian do it? This was undoubtedly hitting a rock with an egg.
However, she had already explained the rules before, so it was not good to change the rules. She could only nod at Ye Hong Tian.
Seeing Mu Mercury nod, Ye Hongtian revealed an evil smile on his face. He kept muttering, "That's good." The three words went straight into the black hole.
Watching Ye Hongtian enter the black hole, Green Lotus and Gao Yuling were a little worried. Although they trusted Ye Hongtian's strength, Jiang Qin was at the sixth level of the Void Origin Stage after all. The difference in cultivation was too great.
The two women turned to look at Mu Mercury. However, Mu Mercury only shook its head slowly, a helpless expression on its face.
Ye Hongtian had chosen to enter the maze painting. If Ye Hongtian had not sought death, it meant that Ye Hongtian indeed had his own trump card. They could only choose to believe in Ye Hongtian now.
After Jiang Qin and Ye Hongtian entered the maze painting one after another, the other participants in the secret chamber also entered the maze painting one after another. However, the number of participants had decreased a little.
Out of the original 94 participants, only 63 people were left after Jiang Qin appeared. Those who withdrew seemed to have been frightened by Jiang Qin's cultivation.
In fact, Gao Yuling and Green Lotus also hoped that Ye Hong Tian would give up. Although it would be very shameful for him to say such big words and then give up, it was still better than losing his life.
As long as they entered the maze, Ye Hong Tian would definitely encounter Jiang Qin. At that time, there would definitely be another fierce battle. Unless Jiang Qin was eliminated before he met Ye Hong Tian, it seemed like it was almost impossible now.
Now, they could only pray that Ye Hongtian did not meet Jiang Qin too early. This way, Ye Hongtian would have time to find an opportunity to improve his strength in the maze.
