Gun Kai
Chapter 289 Fierce Battle Eight
He would only deal with the tricky opponents Xiao Nan would face, and the rest would wait until the time came.
As the competition progressed, Chao Yu TV, An Du TV, and other self-circulating city television programs broadcast the Lie Zhan Competition live.
The competition progressed day by day.
Some powerhouses who were clearly different from ordinary contestants emerged in the five major divisions.
Among them, Li Chongnan from the Southern Division, Hai Sha from the Western Division, and Chen Jiahai from the Central Division's Yan Xing Bagua Sect were the most conspicuous.
Because none of their matches lasted more than ten seconds.
Chen Jiahai, as the previous champion, only needed to get close and strike with his palm, a casual blow landing directly on the opponent's vital point. For some reason, the opponent's movements were much slower than normal in front of him, making it impossible to block.
Hai Sha relied on pure violence and speed, charging, controlling the enemy, and instantly killing them as soon as he appeared.
Finally, there was Li Chongnan, the youngest, whose strength was also the most difficult to understand.
Her speed was average, and she didn't seem to have displayed much strength, but no matter who fought her, they couldn't last ten seconds before collapsing on their own.
In just one week, the three of them led their teams to sweep away all opponents, break out of their groups, and enter the finals directly without continuing the preliminaries, relying on accumulated points.
There were sixteen other teams like them.
April 25th.
The competition entered the finals.
The sky was drizzling because the humidity was adjusted.
Inside the VIP area.
Li Changgu handed Li Cheng颐 a letter.
"This is an encrypted letter," he whispered.
The two of them were sitting in the VIP airship's box, overlooking the arena below.
"What's the content?" Li Cheng颐 asked.
In the past few days, he and the Red Armor had cooperated to solve many opponents they thought were tricky for their disciples, and successfully allowed their respective disciples to enter the finals.
The person the Red Armor had been protecting was the current top scorer in the Southern Division—the Nuclear Fission Palm team.
Because they were in different groups, there was no conflict of interest between them, so Li Cheng颐 and he had cooperated for mutual benefit.
But things might be different next. Entering the finals, the basis for cooperation would also collapse.
"It's an implication from above," Li Changgu replied. "The finals that follow will not allow any more behind-the-scenes tricks. The higher-ups want to increase strict control."
Yes, the upper echelons of Yi State had been tacitly allowing behind-the-scenes actions. Of course, what they tacitly allowed were teams like theirs, with aristocratic backgrounds.
If it were a foreign team or another team without a background, they would have been arrested and suppressed long ago.
"I understand." Li Cheng颐 nodded, pressed the secret letter, and placed it on the table.
He was now locating the Dragon Lair while secretly eliminating opponents, helping Li Chongnan accumulate momentum and strengthen her will and belief.
Five Dragon Lairs had been initially verified, and four more would be needed to officially condense and complete the Dragon Vein shaping.
Stepping into the Dragon Realm was not difficult for him.
What made him even more delighted was that Li Chongnan's Sacred Spirit Art had now reached the limit of the third section and could break through to the fourth section at any time!
This cultivation method was indeed a demonic art, progressing at an astonishing rate.
"Who is Xiao Nan's next opponent in today's finals?" Li Cheng颐 asked.
"The Nuclear Fission Palm three who advanced together from this division," Li Changgu replied. "Their strength is very strong. If Xiao Nan is still at her previous level, I'm afraid it won't work…"
"It doesn't matter, I have confidence in her," Li Cheng颐 said.
Reaching the third section of the Sacred Spirit Art, the degree of augmentation was already comparable to his level of weak Shadow Dragon bloodline.
It was indeed a demonic art, worthy of being a cultivation method that had given birth to an exaggerated existence like the Faceless Scholar.
At this time, Li Chongnan could exert three tons of force with a basic strike, which had reached three times the limit of ordinary people. Her speed had also entered the top tier on the field.
After so many battles, she had also encountered some troublesome opponents, but no matter who it was, as long as they came into contact with her, entering within three meters, they would be instantly killed.
"Actually, our goal has already been achieved: entering the finals! Next, every step forward is more victory for us," Li Changgu said.
Li Cheng颐 closed his eyes and took a sip of tea.
What he wanted was not just entering the finals…

Fu Mo Jingang Sect rest area.
Hai Sha sat cross-legged on the ground, with two strong men behind him diligently massaging and relaxing his muscles.
"Giant Whale Seat." Suddenly, a mosquito-like voice sounded in his ear.
"The plan will officially begin with the finals. Next, you need to cooperate with our other people to eliminate all the troublesome contestants."
"How to eliminate them?" Hai Sha raised his hand, signaling the person behind him to leave.
After the person left, he asked in a low voice.
"The so-called Lie Zhan Competition is just a garbage competition where a group of ordinary people practice some so-called fighting dances. Your strength has already far surpassed them. In the finals, we have four teams that we indirectly control. You need to cooperate with the other four teams to eliminate the remaining opponents," the voice in his ear said.
"Boring," Hai Sha said indifferently.
He was a powerhouse who had undergone Star Demon gene modification on Xuan Ming Island, the ultimate victor who had crawled out of the struggle of thousands of people.
Facing these playhouse-like fighting techniques, it was simply a dimensional reduction strike.
"The only one who poses a bit of a threat to you is Chen Jiahai of the Yan Xing Bagua Sect. The remaining dozen or so teams are all garbage and need to be eliminated as much as possible to avoid affecting the total points. Don't let Chen Jiahai surpass you in points."
"Okay," Hai Sha responded casually.
"After it's done, your equipment is hidden in the old place. We will create chaos for you, and you can take it and leave. With the equipment, no one will be your opponent."
"." Hai Sha was too lazy to respond.
"The list is here for you. Remember, if you encounter them, don't kill our own people."
Soon, a series of names gradually appeared in his ear.
Among them, Nuclear Fission Palm was impressively on the list.
"Uninteresting."
Hai Sha stood up, walked out of the rest area, and strolled in the garden area inside the martial arts hall.
Boring opponents, boring competition, too much boring garbage!
He had endured it for a long time. For so many days, he had wanted to tear the garbage in front of him to pieces at all times, so as not to let them always fly around him like mosquitoes.
Most of the contestants had already left the garden area.
Only a total of twenty teams remained for the finals.
In addition to the winners of the five major divisions, there was also a friendship exchange team from Bai Xing.
After turning around a few times in the enclosed green garden, slightly extinguishing the flames in his heart, Hai Sha turned around, preparing to go back.
Suddenly, a person appeared behind him.
A young man with black hair draped over his shoulders, red eyes, and a fairly burly and strong figure.
The other person was a little shorter than him, but only slightly.
"Hello." The person showed him a smile. "I am Li Chongnan's master from the Dragon Beard Sect. Out of curiosity, I came to see what the top martial artist of the Fu Mo Jingang Sect looks like. Am I disturbing you?"
He extended his hand.
Hai Sha squinted at him. He wasn't a fake Fu Mo Jingang Sect master. He was originally from this school, but by chance, he joined Xinghu and was successfully transformed into a Star Demon.
After returning, he killed everyone who dared to hinder him and became the Sect Master.
"Dragon Beard Sect?" Hai Sha smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Are you here to beg for mercy? Are you worried that I will beat your disciple to death?"
"Yes, after all, Sect Master Hai Sha's strength is indeed powerful. I have also told my disciple that if she encounters Sect Master Hai Sha, she must take the initiative to admit defeat and avoid him," Li Cheng颐 said sincerely.
"You're quite sensible," Hai Sha sneered. "In that case, when we meet, I will spare your disciple's life."
"Thank you, Sect Master," Li Cheng颐 thanked him. "Shall we shake hands to make an agreement?"
He raised his hand slightly.
Hai Sha glanced at his palm.
He reached out his hand, and the two shook hands lightly.
He liked guys with self-awareness like this. If everyone in the world was like this, he didn't know how many troubles he could avoid.
"Then I'll take my leave." Li Cheng颐 turned around and left without hesitation.

Evening.
Hai Sha separated from two of his sect members and headed alone to a barbecue bar he usually frequented.
*Boom.*
He pushed open the door of the shop.
Hai Sha suddenly felt something was wrong. It was quiet inside.
The flashing colored lights kept moving, and the spacious hall was empty, with no one there.
*Thud.*
*Thud.*
*Thud.*
*Thud.*
Suddenly, a very rhythmic sound of music rang throughout the bar.
In the middle of a row of messy tables and chairs, a figure slowly walked out of a shadow.
*Boom.*
The door behind Hai Sha suddenly closed automatically.
The surrounding windows also closed automatically, and layers of thicker metal plates descended from above.
*Bang bang bang bang!*
After several consecutive sounds, the entire bar transformed into a sealed secret room.
Alloy walls more than ten centimeters thick completely sealed Hai Sha here.
"Who are you?" Hai Sha's expression darkened as he looked at the abruptly appearing guy.
The person's head was a constantly rotating galaxy, like a fake projection, completely obscuring his face.
He wore a fitted white trench coat over a silver-black metal shirt. Black pants, black alloy boots.
The other person leaned slightly back, naturally highlighting his extremely strong body lines, making the trench coat a little bulging.
The aura alone faintly gave people a sense of oppression and ferocity, like facing a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
But Hai Sha didn't care at all.
"Outside tricks?"
He took a step forward, walking towards the person.
"You guy, you're really interesting." The corners of his mouth gradually curled into a crazy arc.
"If it were someone else, maybe they wouldn't be able to tell. But unfortunately…"
He stopped three meters away from the other person and spread his thick, python-like arms.
"You've met me."
*Tear.*
The muscles on his upper body suddenly bulged, tearing his top apart and scattering it into pieces on the ground.
"You're the guy from the daytime, right!?" Hai Sha grinned hideously. "I can smell…your scent."
Li Cheng颐 was stunned.
He had clearly taken a shower and sprayed different deodorizers, but he could still be smelled by the other person. What kind of nose was that!?
"You—"
"Are you a dog?"
He raised his head slightly and frowned.
"Didn't you ask me to spare your disciple's life?" Hai Sha didn't care at all. "What? Now you suddenly come to my door, wanting to kneel down and beg me when no one's watching??"
The corners of his mouth split open, his smile becoming increasingly ferocious.
"I said, if my disciple meets you, she should retreat and admit defeat," Li Cheng颐 raised his right hand, wiggling his fingers.
"But when I went back, I wondered, what if I wanted her to win this final and get a higher ranking?"
He took a step closer.
The two were almost face to face, close at hand.
"So I thought of a good way…"
"As long as you don't meet her, she won't admit defeat and won't retreat."
