Chapter 0801: Reaching the Top Ten
Seeing that Oude was about to strike Huang Yi and that Huang Yi would be severely injured, thus securing a victory in this match, the elders of the Ruoluo family all started shouting loudly in celebration.
“Fourth Elder, well done!”
“Fourth Elder, we are proud of you!”
Even Kansa showed a smile. Even the Black Bear clan was no match for the Naisi family. If Oude defeated them, even just by winning one match, it would be a great honor for the Ruoluo family!
Of course, he wasn’t worried about the Naisi family’s retaliation.
The Ruoluo family had the Golden Ape clan backing them, and moreover, the Fifth Elder of the Golden Ape clan, Yudo, had told him that after this match on the rooftop, no matter the outcome, none of the Naisi family members would be able to leave Hongmeng City!
But just as Kansa and the others were cheering and smiling, suddenly, Huang Yi dealt a severe blow to Oude with his sword, causing him to fall from the sky. Watching Oude plummet, the expressions on the Ruoluo family members’ faces froze, and their cheers vanished as if their throats had been squeezed shut.
In the end, under the stunned gazes of the Ruoluo family members, Oude crashed onto the rooftop with a muffled thud.
Kansa felt a sudden shock in his heart.
Things were changing too fast!
Even after Oude fell from the rooftop, Kansa and the others were still in a daze, unable to react immediately.
Outside Hongmeng City, the members of the Thunder Eagle clan, Golden Ape clan, Black Bear clan, and others who had been rejoicing at the sight of Huang Yi about to be defeated by Oude now fell silent.
Time seemed to have stopped, with only Oude’s groans echoing on the rooftop.
Huang Yi flew down to Oude’s side and slowly approached him. Seeing the murderous intent in Huang Yi’s eyes, Oude’s expression changed drastically. Trembling with fear, he stepped back and said, “I…”
But just as he spoke, a sword flash pierced through the air, instantly passing through his throat.
Oude’s mouth opened wide, and his divine clone tried to escape from his body. However, the divine clone met the same fate as the main body.
According to the rules of the rooftop match, only the main body could be used during the fight. Of course, once one side killed the other’s main body, they could also kill their divine clone.
After dealing with Oude, Huang Yi returned to the Naisi family.
Seeing this, Luos stepped forward and sneered at Kansa, “For the second match, who will your Ruosi family send?”
Kansa’s face paled. He glanced back at the elders behind him and saw that all the Ruoluo family elders had stepped back, too afraid to look at him. Seeing this, Kansa’s expression grew even darker.
“What? Is there no one in your Ruoluo family who dares to fight?!” Luos said indifferently.
The Ruo Luo family had previously killed two elders of the Nais family. Back then, the Nais family was weak and dared not say anything. Now, seeing Ou De carried back like a dead dog, Lu Su felt immense satisfaction.
“We, the Ruo Luo family, surrender in the second and third rounds!” After his expression shifted several times, Kansa finally managed to say these words with difficulty.
Surrender!
Surrender in the second and third rounds!
This meant that the Ruo Luo family had lost this competition against the Nais family!
Although Kansa said it with difficulty, he felt relieved inside, as if he had escaped from the clutches of the Nais family. Indeed, if the second and third rounds continued, the Ruo Luo family’s elders would surely die.
Moreover, Kansa now thought that it wasn’t shameful for the Ruo Luo family to surrender—after all, even the Black Bear clan wasn’t a match for the Nais family.
After surrendering, Kansa activated the teleportation array, and the Ruo Luo family’s elders hurriedly “escaped” from the competition area. Huang Long sneered, and Huang Liang and the others also left.
You Duo, one of the five elders of the Golden Ape clan, sat in their seat and, upon seeing the Ruo Luo family leave the rooftop, snorted, “Useless trash!”
Talifa coldly stared at Huang Long and the others and said, “I’ll let you live a little longer. No matter the outcome of the rooftop competition, your death is inevitable!”
The elders and descendants of the Thunder Eagle clan and the Black Bear clan also had no good expressions upon seeing the Nais family win, though they had expected this result.
After Huang Long and Huang Liang left, they ignored the discussions among the gods and returned to the Nais family’s seat, waiting for the second round of the competition.
Now, the Nais family still had three competitions left—by defeating three opponents, they could make it into the top ten!
On the podium, Zhiniya took her gaze off Huang Long and asked Livia, “Is this Sand really Huang Long’s disciple?”
After yesterday’s battle, Felii, Parnar, and others thought that Sand, the Nais family’s senior elder, was Huang Long’s disciple, but Zhiniya didn’t agree.
But if Sand wasn’t Huang Long’s disciple, then how could he possess Huang Long’s mysterious concealment technique?
Zhiniya couldn’t figure it out.
Livia smiled indifferently and said, “Sort of.”
“Sort of?” Zhiniya looked puzzled.
Livia pondered for a moment before saying, “I can only say that Sand is indeed related to Huang Long.” There was indeed a deep connection, because the Sand they saw before was actually Huang Long himself!
Of course, Livia knew how important this rooftop competition was to Huang Long, so even for Zhiniya, she could only keep it a secret.
Ziniya suddenly sighed and said, “If it weren’t about the survival of the Silver Fox clan, I would have agreed to the Yellow Dragon’s request back then.”
Livvia remained silent; she knew Ziniya was referring to the Yellow Dragon’s attempt to cooperate with the Silver Fox clan through a competition on the rooftop to obtain the Heavenly Cauldron.
Before long, lights began to flash on the rooftop as each clan competed and determined their winners. After the last two clans decided their outcomes, they moved on to the second round of the competition.
In the second round, the Nais family’s opponent was a clan named Hartford.
Coincidentally, the Hartford clan, like the Roruo clan, had also participated in the attack on the Yellow Dragon and his group. However, the Hartford clan was not a vassal of the Golden Ape clan but belonged to the Thunder Roc clan.
When the Hartford clan’s patriarch, clan leader, and elders entered the competition arena and saw their opponent as the Nais family, they all paled with fear.
Although the Hartford clan was strong, it ranked below the Roruo clan. The Hartford clan’s patriarch was sensible enough to admit defeat right away!
By now, the Nais family’s terror had penetrated the hearts of the gods. Thus, in the second round, the Nais family easily defeated the Hartford clan without exerting any effort.
In the next two matches, the Nais family’s opponents were the Houston and Jefi clans. Though these two clans were stronger than the Hartford clan, they, too, admitted defeat to the Nais family without exception.
In the eyes of the gods, the Nais family was now on par with the mighty Thunder Roc, Heavenly Phoenix, and other dominant clans. So, it was only natural for the three Hartford clans to surrender immediately.
With this, the Nais family made it into the top ten!
The second round of competition was over!
Next came the third round, where the ten top clans competed for first place!
