The three attackers, with one leading at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, though not quite at the level of the Five Young Supremes of Xuanjiang, were not far off.
The other two were at the Great Perfection stage of the Foundation Establishment.
All three were top elites of their respective sects.
Now, surrounding one person simultaneously, they forced him to defend, preventing him from obtaining more marble tokens.
The longer he was upied, the lower his final ranking would be.
Shen Mo nced at them and smiled faintly, "Those others are your allies too, right? Bring them on."
He had noticed early on that ever since the third round began, some people''s gazes had been fixed on him.
No matter where he was in the arena, these people would quietly move closer.
At any given moment, there were always at least three people surrounding him.
The longer he was trapped, the more people would join the encirclement.
"You didn''t give the Heavenly Water Sect any face in the first round, defeating Yin Xuege. You should have expected this day toe," the peak Foundation Establishment stage disciple sneered.
Swish, swish, swish.
Three figures attacked simultaneously.
It had to be said that these three were indeed elites of their respective sects.
Their attacks left Shen Mo no room to dodge.
No matter how he used his Eight-Direction Thunder Move, he couldn''t break through.
If he tried to force his way out, he would crash into one of them.
The only option was to confront them head-on.
Further away, several other disciples were also hurrying over.
If Shen Mo couldn''t break free in five or six breaths, more would join the encirclement.
The audience noticed this as well.
"Wow, the third round just started, and there are still many tokens out there. How did it get so intense already?"
"Yeah, those guys don''t even care about the tokens; they''re focused on surrounding Shen Mo."
"The Heavenly Water Sect must have a lot of influence. They probably convinced these sects to join forces against Shen Mo."
"Sigh, it''s tough for smaller sects. Shen Mo probably won''t make it to the top ten. Such a shame, I thought he could at least make it to the top five!"
In the Qingxuan Sect''s group, Murong Yue nced at Zhang Mo in the Heavenly Water Sect''s group.
The two beautiful women''s gazes met, and it seemed like sparks flew in the air.
Murong Yue saw a cold, triumphant smile on Zhang Mo''s harsh lips.
She remained calm, turning her attention back to the arena.
Zhang Mo, however, raised an eyebrow.
"Murong Yue is usually bad at hiding her emotions. I thought she would be shocked, but she seems unaffected."
"Could it be that she gave Shen Mo some sort of trump card?"
"But what kind of trump card could the Qingxuan Sect have?"
In the arena, facing the three-pronged attack, Shen Mo showed no fear. He suddenly mobilized his spiritual power.
mes roared to life.@@novelbin@@
In an instant, they gathered on his fist, forming the shape of a phoenix.
The Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique, first form!
Shen Mo suddenly punched out!
Boom!
The fierce mes swept forward.
All three attacks were obliterated by this strike.
The phoenix-shaped mes continued unabated, crashing directly into the peak Foundation Establishment stage disciple.
Bang!
He was instantly engulfed by the mes.
His body was sent flying, his robes burning to ashes mid-air.
Uponnding, he spat blood, which quickly evaporated in the heat.
It was clear he was severely injured and unable to fight.
"Elder, I... I concede!" he shouted in terror.
The arbitrating elder waved a hand, immediately removing him from the arena.
He was the first to be eliminated in the third round of the Hundred Sects Ceremony.
The ferocious mes Shen Mo had just disyed drew the attention of many.
Though both were using martial techniques, Shen Mo''s easily overpowered his opponent''s.
This indicated that Shen Mo''s technique was far superior in grade.
Coupled with the phoenix-shaped mes, many widened their eyes in realization.
The Thunder Fire Sect master stood up abruptly, gritting his teeth, "The one whoprehended the Phoenix Nirvana painting is him?!"
"Damn! The martial technique from the Phoenix Nirvana painting was left by a Divine Transformation stage cultivator. For hundreds of years, no one hasprehended it, and now it turns out it was Shen Mo who did!"
"I remember now, I was at the Sleeping Phoenix Pavilionst night and did see Shen Mo there. I thought it was Zhou Qingcang or Hong Chilong who hadprehended it."
"Amazing, Shen Mo truly lives up to defeating Yin Xuege and Wan Renjie!"
"Look! Hong Chilong is also using that punch!"
The crowd looked towards the martial arena.
Sure enough, they saw Hong Chilong also using the same punch while grabbing tokens.
The cry of the phoenix, the mes of the phoenix.
It was indeed the martial technique from the Phoenix Nirvana painting!
"Now it''s clear, the ones whoprehended the Phoenix Nirvana paintingst night were Shen Mo and Hong Chilong!"
"Both of them seem to have fire attribute physiques, which is why they couldprehend the Phoenix Nirvana painting."
The spectators were filled with admiration.
Why didn''t such an opportunitye to them?
Hong Chilong pouted, "Damn it, Shen Mo stole the spotlight first."
Zhou Qingcang lightly tapped the ground, grabbing a high-speed token with ease, and said calmly, "Don''t worry, he''s going to draw even more attention soon. Look, more people are surrounding him already."
Hong Chilong chuckled, "No matter how many surround him, it''s useless. The power of his palm de is something ordinary people can''t withstand!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Shen Mo looked around.
There were already six people around him.
Shen Mo figured he could handle five opponents at once.
But now there were six. He wasn''t intimidated.
"You knocked my brother out of thepetition. Today, I will avenge him!" The leader, a burly and fierce man, growled.
"I''ve knocked out many people. Who''s your brother?" Shen Mo asked, puzzled.
The man gritted his teeth. "Wan Renjie! I''m his brother, Wan Renxuan!"
"Alright,e at me then," Shen Mo smiled faintly.
"You''re too arrogant!" Wan Renxuan sneered, then shouted, "Attack!"
Led by Wan Renxuan, the groupunched their attacks simultaneously.
Sword shadows, de lights, spear tips, raging mes, mysterious ice...
All kinds of attacks converged on Shen Mo, seemingly to erase him entirely.
Shen Mo took a deep breath and slowly extended his right hand.
That hand stretched out straight.
Wan Renxuan nced at it. It was clearly a hand, but in his eyes, it transformed into a de capable of cutting through gold and jade!
"Cheap trick!" Wan Renxuan sneered.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
mes gathered in Shen Mo''s hand once again.
In an instant, they formed the shape of a palm de.
But that wasn''t enough.
Shen Mo flicked his hand, and the strange azure me settled on it, dyeing itpletely blue.
With a single sh, it seemed to repel all evil and impurities.
Invincible!
The second form of the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique, fused with the Green Lotus Heartfire, sh!
The fierce, domineering mes surged forward, colliding with the attacks of the six opponents.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of explosive sounds echoed.
The six attacks were instantly obliterated.
The azure ming palm de continued its momentum, crashing into the six opponents.
Bang!
The six were sent flying, spurting blood mid-air.
Three were thrown dozens of zhang away, knocked out of the arena.
The remaining three were still in the arena but had fainted, unable to fight any longer.
Their tokens were seized by Shen Mo in one swift grab, all floating around him.
In an instant, Shen Mo had thirty tokens, far surpassing everyone else in the arena!
At that moment, the entire arena fell silent!
