Ye Dingsong versus Baili Canfeng.
The two stood on the ring and seemed not in a hurry to start competing. Instead, they started chatting with each other.
No one heard what they were saying, and they thought they were trash talking each other, something like wcnm.
But soon, the competition officially began.
Everyone thought this would be an absolutely wonderful showdown.
Unexpectedly, after the game started, it ended in less than five minutes.
Both of them only used one move!
Moreover, there was no life-and-death scene, but the two of them were slightly injured and then stepped off the stage.
Zhuge Zheng announced helplessly: "In the second game, Baili Canfeng wins!"
What?
Everyone was confused.
How come Baili Canfeng won?
It's impossible, right? The two of them only exchanged one move and it ended?
Could it be...a fake match?
Or is Ye Dingsong having an affair with the Demon Sect?
"What, it's over? Is there really something wrong with this Ye Dingsong?"
Nangong Yue couldn't help but mutter.
Lin Jichen already knew the reason, shook his head and laughed.
"Junior brother, you know the reason, right?" Nangong Yue asked, leaning over her delicate body, a stream of fragrant wind blew into Lin Jichen's nose, it smelled good~
Lin Jichen smiled and answered for her: "They should have reached a gentleman's agreement."
"Gentleman's agreement?" Nangong Wu couldn't help but look back, and the Sword Sect disciples also looked at Lin Jichen.
"Does a demon cultivator deserve to be called a gentleman?" Li Mu asked disdainfully.
Lin Jichen ignored it and just explained: "The so-called gentleman's agreement is actually a helpless move to win the championship."
"Ye Dingsong and Baili Canfeng are about the same strength. We all know that, and they must know better. If this is the final battle to win the championship, the two of them will definitely fight to the death."
"But this is only the third round. There are so many opponents behind. If two people try their best, even if one side wins, it will be a miserable victory. It will be difficult to win later."
"The goal of both of them is to win the championship, so they know that they cannot use all their strength in this round. Even if they win with all their strength, I am afraid it will have nothing to do with the leader in the future, so the two made a gentleman's agreement to determine the outcome with one move."
Lin Jichen's explanation made everyone see the light and suddenly realized, no wonder the two of them were like this!
This seems understandable.
This was the fate of Nie Yan in the first game. He was defeated so easily by Li Xinghun because he consumed too much in the battle with Mu Lingbing yesterday.
It seems that the further you get to the back, you not only need to consider the current opponent, but also the future.
It's a pity that Ye Dingsong lost like this, which still brought a big blow to the righteous side.
Chu Tianhan was eliminated.
Now another popular figure, Ye Dingsong, has also been eliminated.
On the Zhengzong side, the number of people is obviously smaller than that of the Demon Sect.
In the third game, it’s Nangong Yue’s turn.
The opponent Nangong Yue encountered this round was Feng Wuhen, the great disciple of Jixiao Sword Sect.
Although there is some gap between Feng Wuhen and Ye Dingsong, Baili Canfeng and others, he is definitely a strong person who can be among the top ten.
Nangong Yue also knew that she couldn't win, but she still tried her best.
In addition to her unwillingness to admit defeat, what's more important is that she wants to wear down the opponents behind her, so that she can feel more relaxed if Lin Jichen encounters them.
The fourth game was between Song Qing, the great disciple of Taiqing Fu Sect, and Tan Yi from Blood Soul Valley. After a fierce battle between the two sides, Tan Yi won.
In the fifth game, Huaichou, the top disciple of the Shadow Demon Sect, faced off against Wang Changsheng, the top disciple of the Piyi Zhi Sect. Both sides were equally powerful, but they had old grudges.
Huaichou once robbed Wang Changsheng's Taoist companion, used him as a furnace, and humiliated him to death.
It can be said that the hatred between the two is as deep as the sea, and there is no gentleman's agreement at all.
The two sides fought fiercely and fought for their lives. In the end, Wang Changsheng took revenge and killed Huaichou, and he also lost an arm.
Although he won, Wang Changsheng was so seriously injured that he could not proceed to the next round, so he had to give up with regret.
The last showdown was Lin Jichen's turn.
Lin Jichen's opponent is Yuan Ping'an, the great disciple of the Yaori Gong Sect.
Unfortunately, Yuan Ping'an consumed too much in the last round of the competition and was poisoned by the devil. He is still in recovery.
When he came on stage, his face was pale. When the two of them took the call, Yuan Pingan knew he was losing and took the initiative to admit defeat.
This match was considered the easiest one for Lin Jichen to win.
The third round of competition ended, with only five disciples left.
Li Xinghun, Baili Canfeng, Feng Wuhen, Tan Yi, and Lin Jichen.
There were originally supposed to be more Wang Changsheng, but the other party had abstained, so there was one less spot.
No one thought that these five people would become the final winners.
Originally, everyone predicted that the favorites to win the championship would be Chu Tianhan, Ye Dingsong and others versus Baili Canfeng, Li Xinghun, Situ Zhao and others.
Now that the quota has changed drastically, it also proves the cruelty of the Immortal Ascension Conference. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
No matter how favored you were before and how hopeful you were to win the championship, any competition may cause you to fall off the altar and be eliminated.
Among these five people, Li Xinghun, Baili Canfeng and Tan Yi are all demon cultivators.
Only Feng Wuhen and Lin Jichen are Zhengxiu.
Moreover, Feng Wuhen's strength is obviously slightly inferior to everyone else. He was able to advance to the top five because he was lucky and avoided all the super sect disciples.
This kind of duel is obviously eliminating demons and increasing power.
Many righteous monks could not help but shake their heads and sigh, expressing a pessimistic attitude towards the outcome of this Immortal Ascension Conference.
In order to be as fair as possible, Zhuge Zheng announced that he would take a day off and the day after tomorrow would be the final round.
Everyone then left, and the disciples of each sect returned to the courtyard to rest.
As the only young member of the Tianyan Sword Sect, Nangong Wu made a special trip and brought high-quality medicinal food from the best restaurant in the nearby town for Lin Jichen to enjoy alone.
After eating, Lin Jichen was asked to rest quickly and recharge his batteries.
Lin Jichen ate and drank enough in the game, and then went offline to rest.
Knowing that Lin Jichen would compete the day after tomorrow, Gu Qiuxue also made a lot of delicious food to reward him.
After eating, I lay on the sofa and was served by Ren Lan, who rubbed my shoulders and back, and Tangtang, who beat her legs.
Lin Jichen felt so comfortable that he almost fell into depression.
However, at this moment, Tang Ning's voice sounded outside the door.
"Hold your head with your hands! Squat down! I order you, squat down! Otherwise I will shoot!"
Lin Jichen woke up on the spot.
"No, there may be another killer coming!"
Lin Jichen rushed up from the sofa, rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a fruit knife and went out to support.
He was afraid that Tang Ning wouldn't be able to handle it alone.
Ren Lan also followed closely behind.
Gu Qiuxue knew that she couldn't help, so she hurriedly hugged Niu Naitang and hid in the bedroom, for fear of causing trouble to everyone.
Lin Jichen rushed out of the door, only to see a scene completely different from what he had imagined.
There was no killer at the door, but a girl who was forced to squat on the ground, with cakes scattered all over the floor.
The girl squatted down with a panicked look on her face, looking at Tang Ning pointing a pistol at her, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.
