Facing the other party's ridicule, Brother Cheng seemed very annoyed.
"Sigh, I clicked the wrong one."
Upon hearing this, the laughter from the other side grew even louder.
"Hahaha, once the Immortal City challenge starts, a winner must be decided!"
"There's no turning back for you now!"
"Clicked the wrong one? That's really a ridiculous mistake."
"Do you still want to click on a 1-win or 0-win Immortal City?"
"We'll gladly accept the Power of Rules from your Ascension Platform without hesitation."
After hearing their words, Brother Cheng looked utterly baffled.
"What I meant was, I originally wanted to click on a 5-win city."
The opponent for each challenge must be within 3 wins of yourself.
Currently, Dingtian City has 2 wins, so it can challenge up to a 5-win city.
Brother Cheng, being such a flamboyant person, of course, chose the most formidable opponent to suit his protagonist status.
0-win or 1-win wasn't considered at all.
But because the ranking list was too long, he was dazzled, and Zhanxiao City's rank wasn't far from those 5-win cities, so he accidentally clicked on it.
This made him feel quite embarrassed.
"What did you say?"
"You originally wanted to click on a 5-win city?"
The people on the other side looked at each other, suspecting they might have encountered a madman.
The city lord felt inexplicably annoyed, feeling his intelligence was being insulted.
What, do you think Zhanxiao City doesn't have a reputation?
"It's really a miracle that you're still alive today!"
"Looks like you don't know it's common for people to die in an Ascension Battle."
"Get all your people out here!"
Sect Leader Jiang had a force of over a hundred thousand men.
But most of them were cultivating outside the Ascension Platform and hadn't reacted yet when the platform disappeared.
That group was currently in Dingtian City, staring blankly at the sky.
As for the over ten thousand who were cultivating inside the Ascension Platform, they all came along.
However, they were immersed in cultivation, completely unaware they'd been transported to the battlefield.
And Brother Cheng didn't plan to let them out to steal his glory.
"To deal with you, I alone as the City Lord am enough!"
"Hurry up and start, stop dawdling."
He actually didn't know how the Ascension Battle was fought, since he'd never experienced it before.
To appear like an old hand, he decided to let the other side make the first move.
To avoid making a fool of himself due to mistakes.
"What?"
"All by yourself?"
"Do you look down on us like that?"
The thirty thousand on the opposite side were all infuriated.
A 4-win Immortal City being despised by a 2-win Immortal City was a humiliation beyond measure.
"Do it!"
"Kill him!"
"Wipe him out!"
The other side was hopping mad, and the city lord flew into the arena with great momentum. With a swing of the Immortal Long Saber in his hand, golden flames covered the sky, forming a massive Fire Phoenix's shadow.
In the sky, it flexed its claws and fangs as if to incinerate everything.
Brother Cheng originally used Fire Martial Techniques as well, but after slaying the City Lord of Dingtian City last time, he obtained the Tier Three Immortal Sword Xuan Yu, which was water attribute.
So the previous Tier One Immortal Sword Gu Yang was naturally neglected, turned into points.
When the city lord entered the arena, a Black Jade Platform, just a few miles in diameter, appeared beneath him, emanating a deep glow.
"Enter the Challenge Platform and meet your death!"
Challenge Platform?
So formal?
Brother Cheng felt a bit confused.
At both ends of the Black Jade Platform, three flags appeared on each side.
His side was red, representing the challenger.
The other side was blue, representing the challenged.
The strangest thing to him was that the remaining 29,999 opponents stayed in place without one stepping into the arena.
Jiang Cheng didn't believe they had such 'knightly spirit', opting not to use their numerical advantage for a showdown against him.
Wouldn't mobbing him be much more satisfying?
Looking again at the sky above the Black Jade Platform, a countdown appeared directly.
He finally realized.
Could the Ascension Battle be divided into multiple rounds?
And the first round is the city lord duel mode?
"Sigh, what a hassle."
If it was an all-in chaotic battle, he could be easily killed and then resurrected by the system and start cheating.
Simplicity itself would fix everything.
Now that it's changed to this, it's hard to say.
Holding the Xuan Yu Immortal Sword, he flew into the arena.
As soon as he entered, the countdown above stopped.
It seems if you don't enter on time, it counts as a forfeit.
As soon as he came in, the opposing city lord launched an attack without any unnecessary words.
No choice, Brother Cheng's previous 'provoking humiliation' was too much; he couldn't wait to tear him limb from limb.
Boom! Boom!
The gigantic Fire Phoenix spewed golden fire all over the sky.
And around the Fire Phoenix, a rain curtain descended from the sky.
Like numerous tiny chains, it locked the scattered fire in different regions.
Subsequently, grinding it down to nothing.
The sky and ground were filled with the hateful and pungent smell of singeing and burning.
The Black Jade Platform below appeared just a few miles in size, but the duel of these two Immortals, capable of colossal destruction, precisely confined within the challenge platform's range.
This bizarre sensation of space displacement was undoubtedly caused by those Upper Realm Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors.
After all, the Immortal City Ascension Battle was their brainchild.
And they set the rules of the competition.
As soon as the two began to clash, they were evenly matched.
This left the opposing city lord utterly incredulous.
Jiang Cheng's realm was clear, only at the True Immortal Ninth Layer.
Were it not for the rule that the first match must be fought by city lords, he wouldn't even bother appearing personally and would just send a Celestial Immortal subordinate to settle it.
But now, after engaging in combat, he was shocked to discover this True Immortal was unstoppable.
Although the Immortal Yuan Cultivation was indeed at the True Immortal Ninth Layer level, the strength of that Daoist Heart was no less than his at the Profound Immortal Sixth Layer!
Even stranger was the Immortal Soul, which even under his strikes remained unyielding.
The hardest thing for him to accept was Brother Cheng's attack power.
The attack carried the bonus effects of seven Heroic Souls, the Azure Dragon Essence Blood's coercion, added in the Martial Dao support at a Profound Immortal Level, plus the assistance of the Immortal Slayer Spear overhead.
It actually...was not inferior to an average Profound Immortal.
How was that possible?
The two clashed and separated.
The opposing city lord angrily swallowed several pills to temporarily boost his combat power; he couldn't afford to lose!
"Come face your death!"
He swung the Immortal Artifact, at the same time activating his Magical Treasure.
The Fire Phoenix's shadow grew larger and more fierce—no gaps were visible in the void.
The rain curtain completely turned to smoke, rising gently.
Subsequently, the Fire Phoenix charged at Sect Leader Jiang.
On the dueling platform, a brilliant blaze erupted.
Then Long Sky was bloodied, a tiny figure, negligible to their attacks, swiftly annihilated!
Clang!
The Xuan Yu Immortal Sword sheathed!
Brother Cheng raised his hand, and the ring, Immortal Armor, and Immortal Sword from the enemy city lord's corpse all fell into his hand.
He immediately checked the contents inside, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
Thankfully, just the items on this one city lord were worth 20 billion points.
Otherwise, the tenfold critical strike he just used would have been a huge loss.
The tenth times critical strike at the Ninth-grade True Immortal Level consumes as much as 5 billion points at once.
