Chapter 2163: Cruel

"Prince Wu Qing." When Lin Pheng heard Jin Zhen, he was surprised. The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds hadn't even started and they were making him fight against Prince Wu Qing?

The rule was that only winners who were in groups of losers could challenge three people. If they lost, they were directly eliminated. Therefore, if Lin Pheng fought against Prince Wu Qing, one of them would be definitely eliminated and wouldn't be able to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

Prince Wu Qing's face looked strange. Lin Pheng and Prince Wu Qing came from the Dark Night Region, and Prince Wu Qing was very self-confident. But he found it strange that he would fight against Lin Pheng, especially since he hoped Lin Pheng would participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

Lin Pheng and Prince Wu Qing had the same thought. Lin Pheng also knew that Prince Wu Qing had the Three Thousand Threads of Emotionlessness Strength and knew the Three Thousand Deadly Technique had to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, otherwise it'd be a pity.

Therefore, Lin Pheng looked at Jin Zhen. He had invited him in, the three people had said beautiful words. Of course, Jin Zhen needed him at the beginning because he didn't want anything unexpected to happen. He wanted to reach this part of the process. Thanks to Yu Qing, the one who had a king-type body, and Lin Pheng, he had made it here.

But now, things were different. Lin Pheng was in their alliance, they had to get rid of someone, and without the least hesitation, he decided to get rid of Lin Pheng. Jin Zhen and Yu Qing had to be sure they'd be able to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

"You go for the first battle," replied Lin Pheng calmly. When Jin Zhen heard Lin Pheng, he frowned and looked at him coldly. Yu Qing and he were supposed to be qualified for the meeting. If they had to, they'd even get rid of Dugu the Winner.

However, Lin Pheng was looking at Jin Zhen and telling him to fight against Prince Wu Qing himself!

People around looked amused. There was a problem in that group! They had won all their battles, it was normal to feel pressure, but now the rules were different. If someone lost in a group, they were eliminated even if the group won!

"We give up this round. Lin Pheng lost," Jin Zhen said to the Golden Mountain cultivator evenly.

The referee looked startled, and Lin Pheng said, "I agree to make an alliance with you, but I never agreed to listen to your order. Master, there is no such rule, is there?"

"Indeed, there is no such rule," said the Golden Mountain cultivator, nodding and looking at Lin Pheng.

"Since there is no such rule, Jin Zhen can't give me orders," said Lin Pheng calmly.

"But someone must fight in the alliance. You can decide together."

"How to decide? Jin Zhen and Bing are together. They want me to get eliminated," said Lin Pheng calmly.

"What do you think then?" asked the Golden Mountain cultivator.

"Even if my group gives up, I refuse to admit I lost this battle. If anyone says I did, then they don't need to fight against Prince Wu Qing, they can fight against me directly. If I lose, then I'll be the loser. If I win, then they'll be the loser," said Lin Pheng indifferently, "Otherwise, I also agree to leave the group and fight alone."

"That's a joke! You can't leave an alliance! Who do you think we are?" said Jin Zhen, taking a step towards Lin Pheng and pointing his finger at him. The atmosphere became eerily silent. Lin Pheng had the impression Jin Zhen wanted to stab him with that finger.

"An alliance doesn't depend on your definition, either!" retorted Lin Pheng, also taking a step forwards. The air began to churn with rising energies. Lin Pheng pointed back at Yu Qing, Holy Spirit swords condensing on his finger and turning into a sword. The energies emerging from both fingers collided, fissures appeared in the air between them.

Yu Qing and the others stepped away, frowning. An internal battle had started. Prince Wu Qing was probably really strong,

However, Lin Pheng didn't fight, not because he didn't dare, but because he didn't think that it was the right time for him to fight against Prince Wu Qing. He wasn't the only one to think that way, Yu Qing thought the same as Lin Pheng. It wasn't Yu Qing's time to fight against Prince Wu Qing either, they were both First Masters in their respective regions. They'd fight, but not at that moment. Therefore, Yu Qing didn't step up and fight against Prince Wu Qing, either.

Lin Pheng thought the same. Jin Zhen just wanted one of them to be eliminated as if the members of his alliance were his pawns. Lin Pheng didn't like that at all. He despised such little people. Now that they wanted to sacrifice him, he burst out into anger.

"Insolent!" shouted Jin Zhen explosively. Terrifying lights illuminated the pillar. Lin Pheng was directly in front of him. At such a distance, ordinary emperors would have died because of the energies.

"Piss off!" shouted Lin Pheng extremely loudly as well. Sounds resonated in Jin Zhen's brain, and death strength moved into his eyes and godly awareness. At the same time, Lin Pheng punched out in his direction, it seemed like it could crush anything.

The energies enveloped the two fighters explosively. Rumbling and explosion sounds spread in the air. The crowd saw Jin Zhen get pushed back. He tried to get back his balance, standing in the air. He looked at Lin Pheng coldly.

Lin Pheng jumped towards him, his robe fluttering in the wind. He looked at him coldly and said, "Who the fuck do you think you are? You think you can use me and then get rid of me as you wish? You think you can use us to get qualified for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds? Then I only conclude you're not strong enough to rely on strength to get qualified! You're ridiculous!"

Lin Pheng was humiliating Jin Zhen. It made him furious, he pulled a long face, especially since he had just been forced back by Lin Pheng. What Lin Pheng was saying wasn't groundless,

He wasn't as strong as Lin Pheng, so he wanted to get rid of him? Did he think that he could use other people and didn't need to rely on strength to get qualified for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, just because he was from Golden Mountain?

"I'll fight this one!" Bing broke in, jumping onto the battle stage. The crowd frowned again. The girl was helping Jin Zhen. Lin Pheng had just overcome Jin Zhen, so Jin Zhen couldn't say that Lin Pheng was the loser, otherwise, the crowd would make fun of him!

In any case, Jin Zhen was not satisfied. Bing had decided to sacrifice herself for Jin Zhen!

Jin Zhen was really strong, and Bing had faith in him. She didn't know why he had been pushed back by Lin Pheng, but in her opinion, Jin Zhen had just been too careless. Actually, if anyone fought in close combat against Lin Pheng, the same thing would have happened. Jin Zhen was extremely strong, Lin Pheng was aware of it, but he also knew how strong he himself was!

"You will still be out!" said Jin Zhen, glancing at Lin Pheng coldly. He landed back on the pillar and stopped looking at Lin Pheng, watching the battle stage instead. His eyes were still filled with ice-cold lights though.

Bing couldn't win against Prince Wu Qing, and rapidly lost. Nobody was surprised. She lost and managed to make people forget about Jin Zhen's humiliation.

For the second battle, Jin Zhen jumped forwards. He still looked furious. His opponent was extremely strong, but Jin Zhen overwhelmed his opponent and won quickly.

For the third battle, Yu Qing fought and won.

For the fourth battle, Dugu the Winner fought, his thirty-six hundred Godly Imprints condensed and he crushed his enemy. He won, too.

They had won three times. Their group had won.

However, according to the rules, Lin Pheng had to fight, so he fought and won. People were amazed by their group. If Prince Wu Qing hadn't been in their enemies' group, they could have won five battles!

Yu Qing, Jin Zhen, Lin Pheng and Dugu the Winner had all won. They were all extremely strong. In the enemies' group, only Prince Wu Qing won.

If people continue getting eliminated, who will get eliminated in that one? There are tensions between Lin Pheng and Jin Zhen already, thought the crowd. Those who had won and were in winners' groups could stay on the pillars.

Almost four hundred strong cultivators, and now only forty are left, , thought those watching. Some people frowned, others sighed. People who were going to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were all terrifyingly strong. However, the real battles would start during the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds!

Besides, Golden Mountain still seemed to think that forty people was too much, so it wasn't over yet. They still wanted to eliminate people, but the groups weren't equal anymore. Some groups had three people, some groups had four people, and some rare groups still had five people. Some rare groups also had only one person left; people who were in groups who had lost, and had then challenged three people consecutively and won.
