?33: Chapter 33: Let Me Give It a Try 33: Chapter 33: Let Me Give It a Try “Bai Tianjun, you’ve lost this round.”

    Long Yan retracted his momentum and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

    “Humph, you just got lucky and won a game.

    Your good fortune ends here.”

    Bai Tianjun snorted coldly, took a step forward, and his gaze fell on Li Tianxiao and the others.

    “Second match, which one of you wants to court death?”

    Obviously, Bai Tianjun was going to make his move personally.

    “Bai Tianjun, allow me to be your opponent.”

    Li Tianxiao stepped forward and volunteered to fight.

    Bai Tianjun was at Spiritual Martial Level 9, and Li Tianxiao was already one foot into the Earth Martial Realm.

    If he could defeat Bai Tianjun, this storm would pass with little danger.

    “Be careful, Bai Tianjun is not a simple opponent.”

    Long Yan cautioned Li Tianxiao before retreating to one side.

    “Ignorant fool.”

    Bai Tianjun’s eyes showed contempt as he fully unleashed his Spiritual Martial Level 9 momentum, which was unmatched by any ordinary Spiritual Martial Level 9 practitioner.

    Generally speaking, alchemists focus most of their energy on the Pill Dao, spending little time on their martial cultivation.

    As a result, alchemists are considered weak within their respective ranks, with their strength clearly at a disadvantage.

    However, Bai Tianjun’s displayed strength was obviously far beyond his peers.

    This guy not only had outstanding talent in the Pill Dao, but also in the Martial Path.

    Li Tianxiao, already one foot in the Earth Martial Realm, could suppress ordinary Spiritual Martial Level 9 practitioners.

    However, in the fight with Bai Tianjun, he couldn’t gain the upper hand and was even suppressed by him.

    “Even if you were in the Earth Martial Realm, you still wouldn’t be a match for me.”

    Bai Tianjun attacked fiercely, making ruthless, fatal moves.

    For a time, Li Tianxiao could only adopt a defensive posture.

    If he were an ordinary Spiritual Martial Level 9 practitioner, he would have already lost the battle.

    At this moment, Bai Tianjun’s killing intent surged, giving Li Tianxiao no chance to catch his breath.

    Suddenly, a light flashed, and Bai Tianjun’s body was adorned with dark gold-colored battle armor.

    The armor appeared fierce, with sharp spikes at every joint – a deadly weapon.

    “Profound Level Spiritual Tool.”

    Long Yan inwardly cried out in alarm as Bai Tianjun unexpectedly used a Profound Level Spiritual Tool.

    The entire Long Family didn’t even have a single Yellow Rank Spirit Tool, yet Bai Tianjun had a Profound Level Spiritual Tool, which was beyond his expectations.

    The value of a Profound Level Spiritual Tool was a hundred times that of a Yellow Rank Spiritual Tool, and its power was incomparable to a Yellow Rank Spirit Tool.

    With a Profound Level Spiritual Tool in hand, Bai Tianjun’s strength truly reached the height of the Earth Martial Realm.

    “A Profound Level Spiritual Tool...

    Bai Tianjun actually possesses one.”

    “I know, this is the Heavenly Barbarian Battle Armor.

    It was said to be a meeting gift given to Bai Tianjun by the Great Elder of Pill King Hall.

    It’s a Profound Level Spiritual Tool!”

    “The power of a Profound Level Spiritual Tool is terrifying.

    Bai Tianjun is preparing to go for the kill.”

    Someone recognized the battle armor on Bai Tianjun’s body, and everyone was surprised; Profound Level Spiritual Tools were very rare in the Tianwu Dynasty.

    With the Profound Level Spiritual Tool in use, Bai Tianjun’s momentum soared to the height of the Earth Martial Realm, his strength skyrocketing several times.

    “Li Tianxiao, admit defeat!”

    Long Yan shouted to Li Tianxiao.

    “Admit defeat?”

    Li Tianxiao’s face was equally solemn at this point.

    Admitting defeat might temporarily save his life, but he couldn’t admit defeat – he had no choice.

    In the third round, Bai Tianjun’s side still had an Earth Martial Realm practitioner, and no one could match him.

    If they wanted to win two rounds, all hope rested on Li Tianxiao.

    “It’s all the same if I die; I’ll give it my all.”

    Li Tianxiao steeled his resolve and secretly activated a secret technique.

    His breath suddenly increased, and his strength doubled.

    This was an incomplete secret technique he had obtained by chance.

    By burning his essence blood as the cost, he could double his strength.

    “Die.”

    Bai Tianjun’s eyes were cold, his figure flashed, and he charged at Li Tianxiao again, the two engaged in another fierce battle.

    Although Li Tianxiao’s strength had been enhanced by the secret technique, it was far inferior to Bai Tianjun’s Profound Level Spiritual Tool.

    “Pfft.”

    In less than ten moves, Li Tianxiao was sent flying by Bai Tianjun, spitting out blood.

    His face turned pale.

    “Bai Tianjun, we admit defeat in this round.”

    As Bai Tianjun was about to strike again, Long Yan conceded on behalf of Li Tianxiao.

    “Hmph, I’ll let you live a couple more minutes.”

    Bai Tianjun looked at Li Tianxiao coldly, with his Heavenly Barbarian Battle Armor put away.

    “Long Yan, since you’ve admitted defeat, follow the previous agreement and cripple your own cultivation.”

    As for the third match, there was no need to compete.

    Long Yan’s side would definitely lose.

    “Best two out of three, you’ve only won one round.

    We haven’t lost yet, aren’t you getting too ahead of yourself?”

    Long Yan laughed lightly.

    He knew that the third match didn’t even need to take place, but he wouldn’t give up until the very end.

    “Big Brother Tianxiao, how are you?”

    The other mercenaries gathered around, looking concerned for Li Tianxiao.

    “I’m fine, brothers, I’m sorry, I let you all down.”

    Li Tianxiao’s face showed remorse, then he looked at Long Yan, “Young Master Long Yan, what should we do?”

    Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Long Yan.

    In their hearts, they all hoped that Long Yan could create a miracle, even though they knew it was impossible.

    “At this point, I don’t have any other options.

    We can only stall for as long as possible.

    If all else fails, we’ll have to capture their leader.”

    Long Yan spoke softly, presenting his last resort.

    “Alright, worst comes to worst, we’ll fight them.

    At least we’ll have company on our journey.”

    The mercenaries were already mentally prepared to go all out.

    Bai Tianjun sneered, “Long Yan, even with death looming, you’re still stubborn.

    Fine, I’ll make sure you die understanding.

    I’d love to see how you’ll win this third round.”

    “Nie Chen, the last match is yours.”

    “Yes.”

    Nie Chen was a young man, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old with a cold demeanor, much like Xiao Wu’s.

    However, his cultivation base was much stronger than Xiao Wu’s, having already broken through to the Earth Martial Realm.

    “Cripple your own cultivation.

    You’re all too weak, fighting you wouldn’t be interesting.”

    With a sword in hand, Nie Chen stood upright, revealing an unyielding face beneath his cold expression.

    “Damn, being forced to this point by someone from the Earth Martial Realm is absolutely humiliating.

    I am a prestigious Martial Venerable!”

    Long Yan was infuriated.

    As a Martial Venerable, he saw those in the Earth Martial Realm as mere ants, easily killed.

    Yet now, someone from the Earth Martial Realm had pushed him to the edge.

    “What’s the matter, Long Yan?

    No one dares to fight?”

    Bai Tianjun mocked, his gaze filled with ridicule.

    “Sigh, there’s no need for this match.

    Long Yan and his team are bound to lose.”

    “What a pity, a genius is going to fall.

    With his talent, once he grows up, he would undoubtedly become a powerful force.

    Alas, he shouldn’t have offended Bai Tianjun.”

    “Another genius falls, sigh...”

    At this moment, the onlookers all sighed, the outcome was quite clear, with no suspense left.

    “Young Master Long Yan, there’s no other way, we can only fight them.”

    Li Tianxiao and the others were also prepared to fight to the death.

    Long Yan furrowed his eyebrows, his heart agreeing with Li Tianxiao’s decision, readying himself for battle.

    However, just as he was about to make his move, a deep and powerful voice came from behind.

    “I’ll give it a try.”
