Chapter 698: Locking the Top Six Places

After eliminating Zhu Yunyan, Qin Wushuang was not overly arrogant. He knew that Zhu Yunyan was only one of the many disqualified. In future battle, the same thing would not happen twice.

“Now the problem was, will other people know that Zhu Yunyan is disqualified? If others have learned that I’ve disqualified Zhu Yunyan, certainly they would become even more vigilant against me. Under normal circumstances, when a candidate is disqualified, as long as someone has not seen it with their own eyes and spread it out, the other people would not know unless they had also used a tracking talisman on Zhu Yunyan. They would only know he was disqualified when they found out that Zhu Yunyan’s presence had disappeared,” Qin Wushuang pondered.

While Qin Wushuang derived the situation, he also felt that because Zhu Yunyan knew how to use the tracking talisman and with his strength, certainly he would not allow others to use a tracking talisman on him. Even if someone had used it, Zhu Yunyan could have used his own spiritual Qi to rid the power of the tracking talisman.

After all, for an elite warrior at their level, certainly they would not be willing to get tracked by others.

When Qin Wushuang thought of this, he already had a general extrapolation. If Zhu Yunyan was not tracked by others, the other candidates would not know that he had been disqualified.

This way, the problem of beating the grass and scaring the snake would not be a problem.

“If I were to get rid of the effects of the tracking talisman, it would scare the others and maybe cause unnecessary alarm. In that case, I could not beat them at their own game to lure them into my trap.”

With this idea, Qin Wushuang rushed towards Qin Taichong’s direction. Having lingered for all this time with Zhu Yunyan, in fact Qin Wushuang was worried that Senior Brother Taichong might be targeted by an elite warrior at the same level as Zhu Yunyan. That would not be a good situation.

In the competition of the final ten people, besides Qin Wushuang, four of them possessed absolute strength above Qin Taichong. The remaining four were on par with Qin Taichong. Without considering any sneak attacks, the winning chances were fifty percent.

When he looked at the Observant Finger Jade Plate, it showed that for now, Qin Taichong was safe. The person closest to him was at least three hundred miles away from him.

“Hm?” As Qin Wushuang stared at that Observant Finger Jade Plate, it was because he realized that the plate had shown that another candidate was disqualified in this short period.

The one disqualified was an exceptional disciple from the Lofty Sun Daoist Sect of the Illusion Heavenly Lake. The one that made the move at him was that absolute elite warrior sent by the Extreme North Snow Zone Heavenly Mountain sect, Ling Tianzhi.

This Ling Tianzhi was also a powerful warrior with absolute strength and on the same level as Xin Wuji. Only, this person’s style was even more domineering than Xin Wuji. Mixed in with Xin Wuji’s domineering style, there were a few traces of treachery. On the other hand, this Ling Tianzhi was full of imperious arrogance.

Even though he was full of imperious arrogance, it did not mean this Ling Tianzhi was an idiot. On the contrary, this Ling Tianzhi was no less in terms of wit. Only when compared to the treacherous personality of Xin Wuji, this Ling Tianzhi possessed some sense of doctrine.

For such opponent, he would not be harder to deal with than Xin Wuji.

Followed by Ling Tianzhi’s move, the second eliminated warrior was determined. Naturally, the ninth place was locked in.

The remaining eight people had continued the expedition.

“It’s clear to see that this Ling Tianzhi must have started to make a move against the five relatively weaker competitors. I must say that Ling Tianzhi’s strategy was rather correct. It was because after taking out those five with relatively weak strength, the last five could lock into the top five places.” Qin Wushuang chuckled to himself and rather hoped that this Ling Tianzhi would exert even more effort.

When he had entered the eighth island, the level of strength was approximately divided into two levels. There were four people with similar strength as Ling Tianzhi, Zhu Yunyan and Xin Wuji. Plus Qin Wushuang, they had formed the first level.

Qin Taichong and the other four with almost equal strength had formed the second level.

The number of both levels were all five.

Now with two people disqualified, each had come from the first and the second level. In other words, it meant in the remaining eight candidates, only four people were left in each of the levels.

The situation had become even more interesting.

With a whoosh, Qin Wushuang dropped down into an empty space before Qin Taichong. When he saw Qin Wushuang, Qin Taichong was overjoyed. “Junior Brother Wushuang, you are here.”

“Ha ha, Senior Brother, a guy was pretending to be you a moment ago and I kicked him out. So I was a bit late. By the way, is it rather safe on your side?”

Qin Taichong scratched his head and revealed a simple and honest smile. “I thought I was forgotten by everyone. It’s really strange, no one has made a move at me.”

“Senior Brother, two people were already disqualified. Now we have secured a spot in the top eight,” Qin Wushuang said with a slight smile.

Qin Taichong let out great laughter. “Great, we have done nothing, but are still climbing up the ladder. By the way, Junior Brother Wushuang, at this eighth island, should we keep doing nothing?”

Qin Wushuang shook his head. “For now nothing, we will see when the time matures.”

“The time matures?” Qin Taichong blinked his eyes and was somewhat confused.

“Senior Brother, perhaps you and I were both cast with a tracking talisman. So, now we don’t need to do anything and just wait for them to come to our door.”

“Tracking talisman?” Qin Taichong revealed a shocked face. “Then we must urge our power to get rid of it immediately. I’ve heard about these tracking talismans that are incredibly difficult to be crafted. Someone has used these?”

“Those guys are as troublesome as Xin Wuji. It’s not strange for them to have tracking talismans. However, we don’t need to refine it. If we do, we would scare them away. We should pretend that nothing has happened and lure them in to take our bait!”

Qin Wushuang’s smile was filled with confidence and full of charisma. Qin Taichong nodded and said straightforwardly, “Ok, I will follow you.”

“Senior Brother Taichong, that Ling Tianzhi has already started the hunt. If I’ve guessed right, within this eighth island, certainly a few people will get kicked out by him. Now, he does not even go touch those opponents who are on par with him. Instead, he was in charge of cleaning out those who were slightly weaker than him.”

Qin Taichong laughed. “Then we are not in a hurry. I have calculated that in the final ten people, there are five opponents on the first level as Ling Tianzhi, that includes you. For someone at my level, there are also five. When Ling Tianzhi makes a move, it should be against those five on my level. However, he should know the alliance between us. Therefore, even if he were to make a move, I would be his last.”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “Senior Brother, don’t worry. Ling Tianzhi is not coming because he is smart. If he were to look for you first, he would be ignorant. When we join hands, he can come with high spirits, but he will go away with disappointment.”

In these days, Qin Taichong had been breaking through the levels with Qin Wushuang and had gained a profound understanding of him. He felt that indeed, this newcomer Junior Brother was full of continuous surprises. He was an enigma, just as you cannot measure the sea with a pint pot.

Qin Wushuang looked around and smiled. “Senior Brother, this is a nice place. Since we have nothing to do, we should just stay in solitary training.”

“Training?” Although Qin Taichong was rather insensitive, under this situation where a crisis was around every corner, most likely it would be hard for him to train with a focused mind.

“Yes, Senior Brother, I feel that the ninth island will be our main battlefield. Perhaps, the winner will not be determined until the tenth island!”

Thirty days was not exactly long nor short.

On the sixth day, the third person had been disqualified. He was a candidate from the Endless Eastern Sea. He was also kicked out by Ling Tianzhi. This person had gained eighth place.

On the thirteenth day, the fourth person had appeared to be disqualified. He also was kicked out by Ling Tianzhi. However, this person was Yun Zhongye from the Xuan Yuan Mound Yun Clan. This way, Yun Zhongye’s final ranking was seven.

From the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates of the Xuan Yuan Mound, only the two triumphant successors of the Qin Clan had remained.

Of course, this was already an incredible result. It was because until now, only six people had left in the ordeal.

Even if the next one was disqualified, he would possess the strength to be in the top six!

Now, on the exterior side of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, the martial artists from all over the world were paying attention to the change of ranking with even more nervous energy.

Followed by Yun Zhongye’s disqualification, the Yun Clan could be said as having achieved an outstanding result. At least, ranking seventh place had already surpassed their previous expectations.

This result was already outstanding and more dazzling than the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan. Yet, before pearls and jewels of the Qin Clan, Yun Zhongye’s result instantly appeared to not be worthy of praise.

“The Qin Clan is really firm and upright. In the top six, they have gained two spots!” The disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates had mostly gathered and were bustling with discussion.

Besides the Xin Clan, the Heavenly Punishing Villa, and the Sound of Thunder Sect who had an issue against the Qin Clan, the other sects did not hold any hostility towards the Qin Clan.

When they saw the good performance of the Qin Clan, being among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, naturally they felt the pride. When the competition had been showcased to this crucial point, they were not just competing for rewards, it would also be a form of pride between the zones.

The five major Forbidden Spiritual Zones more or less had the intention to compete between each other. All felt that the Forbidden Spiritual Zones were the strongest powerhouses in the Tian Xuan Land.

Therefore, such an ordeal competition was the best method for them to make direct comparisons. Because of this, besides the Qin Clan’s sworn enemies, even disciples from the Yun Clan didn’t show any reserve as they cheered and clapped for the Qin Clan.

“This time, the Qin Clan is in the limelight. I just don’t know whether they can win the championship or not!”

“That’s not entirely impossible! As two disciples can form an alliance together, they could hold superiority over the other warriors.”

“I think it would be tough! Near the end of the ordeal, only the best are left. Although Qin Taichong is already powerful, compared to those super ones, there is still great disparity among them.”

“What do you know? The unyielding Qin Clan has not just relied on Qin Taichong. That Qin Wushuang has just emerged as one of the strongest elite warriors from the Qin Clan.”

These people were not brain-dead and would not speak the words of how Qin Wushuang had killed Xin Wuji. After all, disciples of the Xin Clan were also present.

Each disciple from the Xin Clan had pulled a long face. Their expressions were beyond awful.

At this moment, suddenly someone cheered with a high pitch, “Look, another person has been eliminated!”

On the side of the Xin Clan, they immediately looked towards the direction of the transportation platform. Inwardly, they kept praying, “Must be the Qin Clan, must be of the Qin Clan…”

Without a doubt, the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect also held the same in mind. The better the results were from the Qin Clan, the longer their faces stretched.
