Chapter 1337: Three Against One? No, It

The sounds within the arena were not muted.

On the contrary, all sounds within the arena were broadcast exactly as they occurred.

Thus, as soon as Bardley finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

"Damn! This is forcing Morin to pick a side!"

"Three against one—eliminate one first, then fight it out; Morin is guaranteed at least top three!"

"What a disgrace! Is this the way of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"

"Haha, you idiots don't understand a thing! This is strategy!"

"......"

The Star Torch Empire's audience was filled with curses.

Clearly, this was targeting Xu Jingming.

Yet the spectators from Bardley and Gar's empire considered this perfectly natural.

On the battlefield, Bardley and Gar ignored the commotion outside, their cold gazes fixed on Morin.

Wind and sand swept over Morin's silver-gray battle armor; her slender fingers lightly traced the blade's edge, her gray-blue eyes flickering faintly.

After a brief pause, she spoke: "I choose the second option."

Eliminate one person first; after that, no matter how the fight proceeds, she's guaranteed top three—no need for much thought.

Moreover, judging from his earlier performance.

Xu Jingming is extremely strong; eliminating the greatest threat first is naturally best.

"Wise choice."

Bardley grinned, then turned his gaze toward the athletic young figure in the distance:

"Three against one, Xu Jingming—you'd better prepare yourself mentally for elimination."

"Why do you team up with Morin to fight me, instead of teaming up with me to fight Morin?"

Far away, Xu Jingming, who had been quietly observing their actions, spoke with interest.

Upon hearing this, Bardley's face twisted into a cold sneer:

"Why? Because I can't stand you!"

His rough voice echoed across the desert, instantly spreading throughout the entire arena:

"I witnessed your match against Moonshadow in the Abyss King Promotion Battle.

The Elf Clan is on good terms with our Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and Moonshadow is the woman I value most!

You defeated her once—I'll help her defeat you now."

"Help her defeat me? By outnumbering me?" Xu Jingming laughed.

He hadn't expected to encounter a lapdog at the Genius Tournament.

"This guy..."

In the competitor zone, Moonshadow's fair, delicate face grew cold.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire had nothing to do with the Elf Clan!

She didn't need Bardley helping her eliminate Xu Jingming in advance.

"Three against one—looks like I won't get to settle the score myself."

Moonshadow shook her head slightly.

Even she would find it hard to win against such an assault.

"Enough talk!"

Within the arena, faced with Xu Jingming's clearly mocking tone,

Bardley's temper flared—he shouted loudly:

"Attack together! Don't give him a chance!"

As he spoke, earth-colored law ripples surged violently across his body.

Instantly, he stomped forward a step—the entire desert trembled.

"Boom—"

The sand within a radius of several kilometers suddenly collapsed, countless sharp stone spikes bursting upward from the ground!

These stone spikes shimmered with the aura of earth law, each one unbearably hard!

Earth Vein Ambush!

T6-level combat technique!

Extremely powerful in strength.

More terrifyingly, at the very moment Bardley struck, Gar in the distance raised his right hand.

"Zing—"

Amidst the piercing clang of metal on metal, a skyward torrent of golden sword rain coalesced!

These blades were likewise wrapped in law energy, perfectly coordinating with the stone spikes to seal off every possible escape route for Xu Jingming!

At the same time, Morin's figure vanished from her original spot.

Enhanced by wind law, her slender form wielding twin blades moved like a phantom, dashing toward Xu Jingming.

At this moment, three law-wielding experts struck simultaneously!

"It's over! Xu Jingming is going to lose!"

"Damn it! Is this as far as the Star Torch Empire will go?"

"Fourth place? Even among all rankings, he'll likely be ranked after four hundred! If luck runs out, he might not even make it into the top five hundred!"

"......"

Despair!

The audience of the Star Torch Empire were utterly despairing.

They had finally produced a prodigy who had comprehended the Dao, only for him to fail now.

Ye Lan and the women with her clenched their small fists tightly in tension.

In the VIP lounge, Mo Ren, usually so composed, could not help but frown slightly.

In terms of strength, Xu Jingming was undoubtedly among the top three on this arena.

To be eliminated in this manner would be too frustrating.

Yet, in the next instant, Xu Jingming's light laugh rang out from the arena:

"You seem to have misunderstood something.

It's not the three of you fighting me alone—it's me fighting all three of you!"

As his words fell, a boom resounded.

A thunderstorm, as if from primordial ages, erupted suddenly within the arena!

Xu Jingming stood midair, behind him the void splitting open into a purple rift spanning heaven and earth.

Endless torrents of brilliant golden lightning plasma surged forth like a dam broken!

A black-gold demonic god, over a thousand meters tall, descended from the thunder.

Its body was forged from flowing torrents of destruction lightning plasma, its surface entwined with Dao chains.

Its head was faceless, save for two vertical purple lightning pupils that tore through space—wherever it gazed, space warped and shattered.

The Manifestation Body of the Lei Ting Devouring the Sun!

"Boom!!!"

The instant the Manifestation Body appeared,

Baddley's earth spikes, Gar's sword rain, and Moline's dagger flashes—all shattered completely!

The terrifying aura of the Manifestation Body struck the three like lightning, sending them all spitting blood and flying backward!

"How is this possible? Just the appearance of the Manifestation Body has this much power?"

Baddley, crushed into the dune, grimaced.

His prized earth Dao defense cracked like a spiderweb at the demonic god's casual glance!

"No, something's wrong—this aura—his Destruction Domain has reached perfection!"

Gar cried out in alarm; upon hearing this, the others' faces darkened instantly.

These three of them, besides having comprehended their respective Dao,

Had also cultivated upper-tier Domains—but none had reached perfection.

Against Xu Jingming's perfected Destruction Domain, they were at great disadvantage!

"Regardless of whether his Destruction Domain is perfected, can he really fight all three of us alone? Unleash your Manifestation Bodies!"

Baddley snorted coldly.

In the next instant, a colossal shadow composed of countless rock strata rose from the ground!

This giant god stood eight hundred meters tall, its body clad in armor flowing with molten lava.

Each seam of its armor spewed sandstorms forged from earth Dao.

Most terrifying were its arms—palms made entirely of core crystal, as vast as mountains, capable of crushing Shanfeng with a simple clench!

T7-level Manifestation Body: Earth Vein Colossus!

Also reached perfected proficiency.

After him, Gar and Moline likewise unveiled their Manifestation Bodies.

In an instant, four colossal Manifestation Bodies stood upon the arena.

Three of these Manifestation Bodies surrounded Xu Jingming in a triangular formation.

The energy turbulence from Dao resonance caused every grain of sand on the battlefield to float into the air.

The terrifying might caused the ten trillion spectators in the stands to hold their breath simultaneously.
