Chapter 540 - 540 539 Two Saints Join Forces

540: Chapter 539: Two Saints Join Forces 540: Chapter 539: Two Saints Join Forces After Mei stepped down, medical personnel immediately came over, wanting to provide treatment for Mei.

“No need, I am already fine,”

Mei directly refused.

An hour later, the top sixteen were born.

Wang Dadong, Giant Warrior Demon, and Day Saint Gu Nina all advanced to the next round.

“I surrender!”

“I also surrender!”

In the quarterfinals, none of the three saints encountered each other.

However, as soon as their opponents learned they had to face a Saint, they directly admitted defeat.

No one wanted to challenge the authority of the Saints.

If they really fought, they might be killed instantly before they could even forfeit.

However, the opponent of the Giant Warrior Demon wasn’t so lucky; despite conceding as soon as he stepped onto the stage, he was still pummeled into half by a punch from the Demon.

Although this act was against the rules, the Demon was a Saint and even the organizers were not willing to easily offend him.

In the face of the Demon’s cruelty, the audience was, however, quite excited.

They loved to see bloodshed and death.

Their previous attitude towards Mei was because Mei was ultimately weak, yet Mei’s relentless spirit earned their respect.

Deep down, they still loved brutal combat.

Since three of the fights ended instantly, the match from sixteen to eight was much faster.

In total, it took less than an hour to determine the quarterfinalists.

Somehow, during the quarterfinals, the three Saints also did not encounter each other.

This time, the promoters simply didn’t even come up to the platform knowing their opponents were one of the three Saints.

Since they didn’t ascend the platform, they were considered to have automatically forfeited.

The creation of the semifinals list was even quicker, taking just half an hour.

The final showdown of the top four was undoubtedly the most thrilling as three of the promoters were Saints!

“It’s a pity that there are no Hermit-level beings.

But with this, you won’t need to enter the fray, my dear Queen,”

The man in the Golden Robe slowly stood up, his expression excited, “We can soon reap the rewards.”

This last match was not an elimination round but a melee among the four promoters to decide directly who the champion would be.

The champion would receive all the rewards, while the eliminated would get nothing.

The battlefield of the Saints was originally at sea, and with three Saints participating this time, it was naturally held at sea as well.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the non-Saint contestant did not forfeit!

“A non-Saint dares to join the melee of the Saints, is he seeking death?”

“Maybe he has some special skills he hasn’t used yet?”

“I know of this person; in every promotion, he’s shown just a slight edge over others, but unexpectedly, he has made it all the way to the final battle,”

People began to talk in abundance, especially about the non-Saint contestant, who drew the interest of many.

You must know, this is after all a melee involving three Saints; just the residual effects of their battle are likely enough to obliterate a non-Saint.

However, to forfeit or not was his right; since he insisted on participating in the battle, no one could stop him.

Moreover, if their means of protecting themselves were very sophisticated, there might be a chance for someone to seize an opportunity from a three-way battle where all parties get hurt.

But such a scenario was almost impossible, as the Three Saints might just kill him at the first opportunity.

This non-saint was a thin middle-aged man with an expression as still as an ancient well, seemingly oblivious to the danger he was about to face.

“The most thrilling moment has arrived.

Unexpectedly, there are three saints fighting.

Who among them could win the championship?

Let’s wait and see.

The match starts now!”

As the referee gave the order, the Daylight Saint was the first to jump into the sea, then quickly ran towards the distance.

Of the three saints, she was the only one not skilled in close combat; maintaining distance early on was a wise move.

The thin middle-aged man was the last to enter the sea.

Many people shook their heads in secret; the thin middle-aged man was simply seeking his own death.

“A Huaxia powerhouse using Inner Strength.” The Giant Warrior Demon entered the sea, his attention immediately focused on Wang Dadong.

Wang Dadong frowned slightly.

In his memory, he didn’t recall knowing such a gigantic person.

“Do we know each other?” Wang Dadong was somewhat puzzled.

The demon cracked a smile, “No, but I want to ask you a question.”

“What question?”

“Do you know about Death Knell?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Dadong was slightly shocked.

What did the other party mean by asking him this?

Could it be that they knew his identity?

“Looks like you do know.

I thought so.

How could Death Knell not attend such a lively tournament?”

After the demon spoke, he said to Gu Nina, “I am not interested in the championship.

I just want to kill this man.

If you help me kill him, the championship will be yours.”

Gu Nina’s eyes showed a grave expression, and she did not respond.

After all, they were enemies now.

If she did team up with the demon to defeat Wang Dadong, the demon might not willingly give up the champion’s position later.

Moreover, from the demon’s alias and his methods, it was clear that this man was ruthlessly decisive!

“I know you don’t trust me, but that’s okay.”

Suddenly, the demon shouted toward the organizers on the boat, “I hereby solemnly promise, if the Daylight Saint helps me kill the Crow, I will not want any of the champion’s prizes, all will belong to the Daylight Saint.”

As the demon finished speaking, it caused a huge stir.

To think they intended to team up against the Crow without wanting any prize.

Could there be some deep-seated grudge between the demon and the Crow?

The outcome of the match had become even more intriguing.

The expressions of Liu Tong, Xia Yun, and Ye Zi drastically changed on the field.

They had not expected the demon to stoop so low as to team up with another saint against Wang Dadong.

“What about it, Gu Nina?

This is a tremendous opportunity.

We are both Slaying Saints, but you know yourself how you managed to beat the Iron Crutch Saint,” the demon seemed in no hurry to make his move.

Although Gu Nina was well-known, she had never actually slain a Saint.

It was only today at this martial arts tournament, after defeating the Iron Crutch Saint, that she was promoted to Slaying Saint.

Yet her victory over the Iron Crutch Saint was not solely due to strength but also an otherworldly intelligence; in fact, her real strength was even lower than that of the Iron Crutch Saint.

If it were a three-saint melee, she might not gain any advantage.

But if she teamed up with the demon, one staying distant and one nearby, the probability of victory would be as high as eighty percent.

Gu Nina did not directly answer the demon but turned her head to look at the thin figure, and smiled faintly, “You seem to have forgotten, demon, there are four of us here.”

The demon had not looked at the thin middle-aged man from the beginning because, in his eyes, the middle-aged man was just an ant.

The only reason he hadn’t made a move was that he was too lazy to bother.

“Since that’s the case, as a sign of goodwill, I’ll take care of him first.”

As soon as the demon finished speaking, his body, like a moving fortress, charged across the sea surface towards the thin man.
