A dark thread appeared in the distant sky. Its speed was so fast that it could not be detected by the naked eye. Tianli, who was hesitating whether he should turn around and escape, only saw a ray of light passing by, and then there was the sound of sound filling the sky.

The sound of explosion sounded.

At this moment, even the air was split in half, leaving only the terrifying sword energy rippling, causing the sky to be unable to heal for a long time.

When Tian Chong swung this sword, Tian Guan and the others who were escaping felt a biting cold approaching from behind. He almost suspected that Tian Chong's sword was aimed at

I want to kill them myself!

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, because the target of Tianchong's sword was not them, but the Spirit King whose mobility had been greatly reduced...

"not good!"

In an instant, Tian Guan understood the true purpose of this sword.

"This guy's goal from the beginning has been the Spirit King's Spiritual Core!"

Tian Guan, who had figured it out, gritted his silver teeth. Especially when he thought that Tian Chong had deliberately exposed the strength of the Six-Eyed Sword Mantis before to paralyze himself, he wanted to tear this bastard into pieces and feed him Tian Guan.

Demon spider.

But at this time, it was already too late to be angry. Behind them was a furious Dragon Centipede Spirit King. Now that they were defeated soldiers with very little spiritual power left, they had no choice but to escape.

Tian Huan raised his head and looked at the sword energy, and he had already begun to pray in his heart that the Spirit King could block the opponent's blow.

Unfortunately, at this time, the black light formed by the condensed sword energy had already struck the Spirit King's hard body, and then penetrated through.

In everyone's shocked eyes, the distant peaks behind the Spirit King were separated, and the fractures were as smooth as a mirror...

Boom!

The huge body of the Spirit King, like those mountain peaks, suddenly split open and flattened into two halves, and then fell to both sides, creating two huge twin lakes on the ground.

Unlike those spirit soldiers and spirit generals, the spirit king's body that was split in half by the sword energy did not dissipate directly, but condensed a dazzling bright light spot in its center.

The huge body of the Spirit King, which was completely condensed with spiritual power, quickly converged towards the light point under a mysterious force. In the end, even the heavenly insects were unable to look directly at the light.

Soon, the bright light disappeared, and a huge colorful spiritual core appeared on the spot...

Seeing this scene, Tian Qian's eyes turned red with envy, his throat rolled, he gritted his teeth...and then suddenly rushed away and disappeared into the sky.

"Quite decisive!" Tian Chong looked at this scene with narrowed eyes and sighed secretly in his heart.

However, when he turned around and saw Tianli standing there in a daze, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted: "Run! Are you waiting to die there?"

Before he could finish his words, Tianchong's body had already arrived in front of the Spirit King's spirit core, and then he put it into his own spirit tablet without hesitation.

After the test just now, Tianchong is very clear about how powerful the violent Dragon Centipede Spirit King is behind him. The sword he just struck has consumed 70% of the spiritual power in his body. Even if he recovers quickly and has the help of Jin Chan, he still can't do it.

There is no way to draw the sword continuously.

After being roared by the Celestial Insect, the Celestial Piao also reacted and then joined the escaping team.

The Dragon Centipede Spirit King did not pursue him, but quickly stopped, and then quickly disappeared into the ground... Because at this time, there were three more powerful auras in the direction where Tianchong and others were escaping.

Approach quickly...

This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but after the crisis was resolved, everyone's attention was immediately attracted to the Spirit King's Spirit Core just now.

It's a pity that at some point, Tian Chong had already sneaked away with Tian Li. Otherwise, if all the teams gathered together, the spiritual core in his hand would be in danger!

"Cunning boy, you run very fast!" Tian Guan said bitterly.

"Brother Huan, what should we do next?" A young man with a pale face couldn't help but ask.

This time, their team suffered huge losses, and many of the spare heaven-level spirit insects were also used up in the successive battles. It can be said that the losses were serious.

"Let's go, we must avoid those three teams, otherwise I will really suffer this time..."

In their current state, if someone else were to seize the opportunity, I believe that the other party would never let go of this easily accessible spiritual core.

Although everyone was unwilling to do so, the force was stronger than the others, so they had no choice but to give way.

It's just that these people inevitably put this account on the head of Tianchong.

At this time, only Tian Huan could remain calm. Although he wanted to kill the insect, more importantly, he was still deeply afraid of it.

After all, a person who has never been a show-stopper before the battle, and has never even heard of it, actually has such strong strength and scheming. It is impossible to say that this opponent is the biggest dark horse in this knockout competition!

…

…

After avoiding everyone's gaze, Tian Chong and Tian Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the latter came over with excitement and said with a smile: "Hey, I didn't expect that after fighting for a long time that day, I almost ran out of all the cards in my hand, but in the end this Spirit King's Spirit Core took advantage of you!"

"Aren't you afraid that the guy will come after you and fight for your life?"

Tian Chong glanced at the woman and said calmly: "He was the first to give up on his own initiative. Now what's wrong with me getting it?"

"Hey! Speak to Tian Qian about this and see if he can listen to it!"

"I don't need him to listen..." Tian Chong turned his head slightly and looked forward. "Okay, now that this is over, it's time for you and I to go our separate ways."

"Ah? Are you actually going to abandon me?"

Upon hearing this, Tianli immediately put on a pitiful expression like a little beast about to be abandoned.

"Aren't we good partners? Look, this time we joined forces and allowed you to even get the Soul King's spiritual core. You are trying to burn bridges by crossing the river!"

"I didn't see any partner, all I saw was a burden..." Tian Chong said bluntly with a serious face.

But this Tianli is not really useless. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have the chance to find this gathering point, and naturally it would be impossible to get the Spirit King's core...

"Bring me your spiritual tablet..."

After thinking for a while, Tian Chong finally said.

"What are you doing?" Tian Chong, who was regarded as a burden, looked angry. However, after hearing what Tian Chong said, he still took out his spiritual tablet with doubts.

Anyway, the spiritual core in her spiritual card is not even a fraction of the opponent's, so she has no fear that the Celestial Insect will take advantage of her spiritual core.

Tianchong took the spirit card from the girl's hand, and then touched his own spirit card. In an instant, the number on Tianchong's own spirit card was reduced by one thousand, while Tianliu's number that had just reached four digits actually doubled.

"This Thousand Spirit Calculation is a reward for you. From now on, you and I will not owe each other anything!"

After saying this, the Celestial Chong transformed into sword light and disappeared from the spot.

Tianli looked at the spiritual tablet in his hand, and then looked at the direction where Tianchong disappeared. He blinked, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his delicate mouth. He didn't know what he muttered to Tianchong's back, and then turned around.

The shape also disappeared instantly.

In the following time, after the Sky Insect fully recovered, it started its hunting journey again.

It's a pity that he has never encountered the huge gathering point of spiritual bodies before, which also reduced his hunting efficiency a lot.

But even so, because of the existence of the Spirit King's spirit core, the number on the spirit plate of Tianchong has now reached a terrifying more than 18,000.

Although I don’t know what other people are like, judging from the difficulty of Tianchong’s own spiritual core acquisition, there should be no more than ten people who can surpass him!

"I just don't know if this value can make it into the top five..." Tian Chong was still a little uneasy.

But even if he wanted to hunt down the spiritual soldiers, it would be impossible because the time for the knockout round had come...

In the center of Liuyue Realm, a huge square is located here, and the first thing the contestants who enter the square see is a huge stone monument a hundred feet high.

This stone tablet is divided into four sides, exuding extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Starting from the top of the stone tablet, the names are displayed one by one.

This is the spiritual tablet that records the rankings of this knockout round. It is connected to the soul tablets in the hands of the contestants. The values ​​​​on each contestant's soul tablets will be displayed here, and then arranged from largest to smallest.

Because the Liuyue Realm is not suitable for living things to exist for a long time, there are no people in the square at this time, so naturally no one can see the ranking.

But as the game time approached, people gradually began to appear in the square, and then they began to eagerly look for their names on the memorial tablet...

Of the 172 people, only 16 can pass the elimination round. Such a high elimination rate directly makes more than 90% of the people destined to leave disappointed.

In fact, everyone knows this in their hearts, but if they didn't see it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would be willing to do it.

However, after discovering that it was impossible for him to pass, everyone's eyes began to fall on those who could finish at the top of the list.

Because everyone knows that the top five in the knockout round can directly get a place in the insect world, so they all want to know who these five lucky ones are.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter, it must be the five supreme ones... Why are there five people who have obtained the quota in advance? It is obvious that the clan has already reserved those five quotas for them!"

Many young people are very unconvinced by this.

"Hey, if a dark horse appears in this knockout round and knocks one of the top five down, do you think the adults in the clan will feel like they've been slapped in the face?"

After a young man finished speaking, he suddenly saw his companion next to him looking up with dumbfounded expressions, and did not react for a moment.

"I said you kid, what are you looking at..."

Following his companion's gaze, the young man finally knew what he was looking at, but the moment he saw it, his voice seemed to be strangled by something, and he could no longer speak.

"Eighteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty, where did this guy named Tianchong jump out and get such a high score? How many spiritual soldiers should he have killed!"

Finally, the young man finally shouted out what was in his heart.

And as he shouted, more people noticed this scene.

What’s even more unbelievable is that this unknown person named Tianchong, relying on this terrifying high score, actually directly occupied the fourth position!
