Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 474 King versus King

The next morning.

The two teams set out from the hotel and were taken to the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon by special vehicles of the Pingxi Army.

The scenery here was indeed beautiful, but no one had the heart to appreciate it. The overwhelming pressure from public opinion also gave everyone a slight sense of urgency.

For the Fire Phoenix Team, the scale of the fan support is so huge that it means that if they ultimately lose, most of these cheers may turn into disappointment and hatred, so there is no way to ignore it.

The same goes for the Zhenhai team. If they accidentally lose, there will definitely be a lot of people who will kick them when they are down and make sarcastic remarks, so there is a reason not to lose.

Under this atmosphere, the entire atmosphere inside the car became quite solemn. Although there was no verbal exchange between the two teams, their collective momentum was already showing a sense of confrontation.

Arriving at the entrance to the secret realm, you can see that the area around the canyon has long been heavily guarded, with layers of camps and military bunkers built. Helicopters and drones patrol overhead from time to time to prevent the infiltration of any illegal supernatural beings.

Of course, there were a variety of concealment methods, making it easy to evade these patrols. Therefore, the ultimate safeguard lay in the 200-plus military monks stationed within the camp, who used their spiritual sense to survey the surrounding environment around the clock.

Human radar! In the era of spiritual energy revival, this is the solution provided by the Lu Kingdom to the security issues of military strongholds. Since spiritual awareness is a unique ability of the cultivator system, other countries have not found a way to crack it.

Without the interference of foreign transcendents, the secret realm's operations were much more manageable. Not only did a drone crew provide live broadcast footage from various angles, but a medical team also accompanied the contestants into the secret realm, ready to provide first aid at any time to deal with any injuries that might arise.

The two teams each entered the rest camp, and after receiving the order from the headquarters, the front line of the Fire Phoenix Team entered first.

In the live broadcast room, two professional commentators were also talking, trying to make the pre-match preparation time pass so that the audience would not feel bored.

"...So we can see that the intensity of the simulated confrontation drills in China is still somewhat lacking compared to actual overseas combat," Xu Dongming said casually to the audience. "Currently, only eight teams are qualified to compete overseas, so we hope that more teams will grow and join the ranks of defending our country in the future."

"Alright, let's watch the game! Headquarters has blown the whistle, and now it's time for the Fire Phoenix Team's front line to enter. As I analyzed in the previous program, there's a 99.99% chance that the Zhenhai Team will use Yan Yu, the Dinghai God General, as the front line. Therefore, the front line player assigned by the Fire Phoenix Team must be strong enough to withstand Yan Yu's attack when isolated and helpless... Zhou Hongyu! Not Qin Meng, Zhou Hongyu has stood up! She's walking towards the entrance to the secret realm!"

"Team Fire Phoenix actually let their captain lead the charge!" Zhou Erhe exclaimed in amazement. "Zhou Hongyu versus Yan Yu, a captain-level contest. Looks like this match will begin with a duel between kings. Dongming, who do you think has the upper hand?"

"It's hard to say," Xu Dongming replied tactfully. "Everyone knows that I'm now settled in Jianghai Prefecture, so logically I should support Yan Yu. But my ancestral home is in Nanchuan Province, and my relatives and friends all support the Fire Phoenix Team, so this puts me in a dilemma..."

"Oh, I think it's totally unnecessary." Zhou Erhe glanced at the teleprompter outside the arena and continued, "The Fire Phoenix Team and the Zhenhai Team are both heroic monks defending their country. I understand everyone's feelings about supporting their favorite team, but there's absolutely no need to get so heated over a match, right, everyone?"

The two of them chatted with each other and really turned the atmosphere of the live broadcast room around.

The original single-push barrage such as "Fire Phoenix will win" has also become a relatively harmonious slogan such as "Fire Phoenix will win, Zhenhai, come on!"

In the preparation area at the scene, everyone sat in silence for a moment, and suddenly a guard came over to announce:

"Team Zhenhai will enter the arena first."

"I'm leaving." Yan Yu stood up.

"Don't give yourself up," Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "Hold on until we come to rescue you."

"What a joke." Yan Yu said disdainfully, "By the time you guys get here, I'll probably have finished the fight."

He followed the guard out of the camp and came to the entrance of the secret realm.

I don't know who from the Fire Phoenix team has already led the charge inside, I think it's either Qin Meng or Zhou Hongyu. It doesn't matter, they're destined to be defeated by me anyway!
Enter!

As the world spun around, Yan Yu found himself in a cave.

The surrounding area is made of smooth rock walls, with a hole dug out at regular intervals, inside which there is a relief of Bodhisattva.

The relief face is lifelike, with hollowed-out eyes, emitting an extremely majestic divine light - it turns out that the Bodhisattva's head is hollow, with a small candle lamp fixed inside.

Yan Yu observed leisurely for a moment and then began to explore forward.

On the other side, Zhou Hongyu, who entered three minutes earlier, had already inspected all the nearby corridors.

These corridors are about three meters high and more than one meter wide. They are straight and have no extra shelters or obstacles.

If he wanted to fight Yan Yu, such a narrow environment would be the most suitable, because the opponent's flexible movement would be greatly restricted, and his own Great Light Flame had the effect of explosion and range coverage, so it would be easy to block the opponent's escape route.

Of course, Yan Yu couldn't have failed to think of this, so if he was also teleported nearby, he would definitely leave this area as soon as possible and explore more open areas as much as possible.

Find him as soon as possible!
Zhou Hongyu activated the Wanli Shenxing technique and ran quickly in the corridor, forming a sharp contrast with Yan Yu who was exploring leisurely and leisurely on the other side.

"Zhou Hongyu knows Yan Yu has entered the arena," Zhou Erhe explained. "If it were a narrow corridor like this, it would be difficult for Yan Yu to avoid her bright flames. That's why Zhou Hongyu hopes to find Yan Yu nearby and start the battle as soon as possible."

"But Yan Yu doesn't seem anxious at all." Xu Dongming also frowned and said, "Judging from the map, the two will meet soon. Isn't he afraid of being bumped into by Zhou Hongyu in a place like this?"

The Pingxi Army had already conducted reconnaissance with drones in advance and confirmed that this was an underground palace built into the mountain. A detailed map had also been drawn and was now displayed on the big screen in the live broadcast room.

It can be seen that there is open terrain inside the underground palace. There is a huge cave waterfall and a rock-face Zen temple in the west, and a spacious main hall and pagoda in the south.

But Yan Yu and Zhou Hongyu, one was refreshed at 12 o'clock, which is due north, and the other was teleported to 2 o'clock. The area around here was mostly filled with small passages and monks' rooms and caves, which was obviously extremely disadvantageous to Yan Yu.

Why didn't he leave the area as soon as possible?
"We're about to meet!" Zhou Erhe finally shouted, "Zhou Hongyu chose to go north at the crossroads! Go to the end and turn the corner, and you'll run into Yan Yu!"

"A fierce battle is about to break out!" Xu Dongming, not wanting to be outdone, quickly began his commentary. "Watch out, viewers in the livestream! A fierce battle between captains is about to begin! This will be a battle between kings! With Zhou Hongyu's personality, once engaged, he won't stop until either he or his opponent is defeated..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Yu suddenly turned right and entered the monks' room next to the corridor.

The wing room had no door and was very small, only about three square meters. There were only bedding on the floor, an incense table for scriptures, and candles and air vents on the wall.

Even when Zhou Hongyu was running fast in the corridor, he would quickly glance around when passing by these rooms. At this time, there were no obstacles around Yan Yu where he could hide and block his sight.

"It's over!" Xu Dongming screamed. "If Yan Yu goes out here, he'll be caught by Zhou Hongyu. If he stays inside, as soon as Zhou Hongyu glances at him as he passes by, he'll unleash a blazing fire. There'll be nowhere to hide! He's completely trapped!"

"It all depends on Yan Yu's decision now! Should he rush out and fight directly, or stay in the room and bet that Zhou Hongyu will miss it... Shit!"

"Invisibility! Yan Yu is invisible! How did he know Zhou Hongyu was approaching?!"
