Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Just as Zheng Xiaoqiao had said, Tang Anru no longer rushed to attack, but instead used the jujube-core nails to attack Liu Nange in a haphazard and uninterrupted manner. She had to ensure that her defensive formation did not fall, and that she would ultimately be the one to achieve victory.

Liu Nange remained calm and composed.

"Princess Nange took the initiative..."

Someone nearby shouted in surprise as they saw Liu Nange slowly moving towards the edge of the Great Sword Terrace with her majestic square steps.

"What is she going to do?..."

This was the voice of everyone, including Tang Anru. Of course, the one who wanted to know the answer the most was Tang Anru. She was Liu Nange's rival, and Liu Nange would not do anything without reason, but she could not stop him.

All Tang Anru could do was to speed up her attack on Liu Nange, hoping that she could maintain the spiritual energy of the formation and consume it as soon as possible.

Liu Nange walked half a circle around Dajianping under everyone's puzzled gaze. Ma Zhan narrowed his eyes and said, "She's setting up the formation~"

Not only Ma Zhan, but Tang Anru on Dajianping also discovered Liu Nange's purpose. Liu Nange wanted to set up a large formation and not let them succeed.

Tang Anru used the Wuhou Crossbow as if it were a semi-automatic rifle. He pulled the trigger and a small iron ball shot out. After hitting the defensive formation, it exploded with a loud bang.

"Holy crap!" Ma Zhan was stunned by the Wu Hou Crossbow. Wasn't it a bit ahead of its time? Putting aside the range and rate of fire, wasn't the iron ball that exploded when it hit a target a bit too much?

Ma Zhan's idea was correct. The Wuhou Crossbow was the Tang Sect's orange-level hidden weapon, second only to the highest-level red-level. It took the Tang Sect a year to create just one.

The biggest technical barrier is not the crossbow, but the stable and powerful iron balls.

Due to the energy impact of the iron ball explosion, Liu Nange's pace slowed down significantly. However, a crossbow with twelve iron balls could only slow Liu Nange down, not stop him.

Ma Zhan's palms were full of sweat. "Fortunately, I held back and didn't actively choose Tang Anru. She actually brought a gun..."

The rumbling explosions on Dajianping shook everyone's heart. The outcome was still unknown, but the duel between the two beauties was truly spectacular.

Finally, the bullets of the Wuhou Crossbow were used up, and Liu Nange also completed the demonstration of circling the field.

Tang Anru was extremely vigilant, and any slight movement on Dajianping could not escape her perception.

Liu Nange held the national seal in his hand flat in front of him. After the national seal emitted a golden light, it slowly rose into the air.

"Fuck, this is so high-tech~" Ma Zhan really didn't expect that the formation could be used in this way.

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, twelve giant warriors formed by golden array patterns appeared near the edge of the Great Sword Terrace. In front of each of them was a siege crossbow.

Liu Nange's mind stirred. "Hum..." A golden crossbow arrow, about ten feet long and adorned with flowing array patterns, flew out of the bowstring. With a piercing sound, it pierced Tang Anru.

If an ordinary person was hit by this crossbow arrow, half of their body would be blown away. Even with the spiritual energy protecting her body, Tang Anru, who was at the fifth level of cultivation, could not withstand a few arrows.

"Swoosh~" The long arrow with formation pattern penetrated the afterimage left by Tang Anru, and the second and third followed closely behind.

Tang Anru used the Dustless Step to its fullest extent. She was like a black civet cat, jumping and turning among the dense rain of arrows.

At this moment, Ma Zhan wanted to call Shan Feng to come and see Tang Men's body skills, so that he would not brag about his great talent in light skills every day.

Amidst the dense rain of arrows, Tang Anru was just about to think of attacking Liu Nange, when suddenly a force of law made her freeze for a moment.

Looking closely at the battle, Luzhu's sword brows knitted slightly, "Confucianism~"

Liu Nange held the paperweight in his right hand and gently patted the palm of his left hand.

"Quiet~"

As soon as the word "quiet" came out, Tang Anru felt a slight pause, but at this moment, a golden crossbow arrow hit her chest.

After the first, there was a second. After Tang Anru's protective spiritual energy withstood six crossbow bolts, it completely dissipated. The continuous heavy blows caused her internal energy to become disordered. She lost the ability to defend and dodge, but the siege crossbow did not stop.

Twelve crossbow arrows came flying again.

Tang Anru closed her eyes resignedly, and all the spectators held their breath. It was truly a pity that the Tang Clan's proud daughter was about to become a victim of an arrow.

However, the scene of thousands of arrows piercing the heart did not happen. Twelve rune crossbow arrows shot out from twelve directions and stopped a foot in front of Tang Anru.

Tang Anru opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the crossbow arrows swirling around in front of her. Strong and overbearing, she also understood that Liu Nange was showing mercy.

"Give up~"

"Liu Nange wins."

"Princess Nange won beautifully..."

"Princess Nange, you are my goddess..."

. . . .

Liu Nange extended her left hand, and the imperial seal landed smoothly in her palm. She nodded gently to Tang Anru and Lu Zhu, then stepped onto the yellow crane and returned to the cliff.

"Liu Nange, you, you are really fierce..." Ma Zhan really couldn't find any other adjectives to express his current thoughts. Formation patterns, dual cultivation of Confucianism, he could only borrow the two words that Puyang Yingjun often said, really fierce.

Liu Nange chuckled, "I said, I'm the champion of the competition, of course I'm powerful."

"Hey~ I, even though I can't beat you, my Xiao Qiao can beat you. Hehe."

Liu Nange smiled but said nothing. Zheng Xiaoqiao shook his head at Ma Zhan, "I might not be able to win."

"Zheng Xiaoqiao versus He Hongzhu."

Ma Zhan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Zhu's voice.

After two actual battles, Zheng Xiaoqiao's control over the water of the Wangchuan River became more and more proficient. He Hongzhu was also helpless. The water of the Wangchuan River could easily melt even metal, let alone the poisonous insects she raised.

After losing dozens of killer bees, He Hongzhu immediately admitted defeat. The competition took less than a minute from start to finish.

Compared with the previous competition, the audience all looked disappointed.

In the next two matches, Li De, relying on his flying sword advantage, narrowly defeated Tang Anyue. The fact that the fledgling Tang Anyue could fight Li De, who ranked ninth on the second-tier martial arts rankings, with such a close exchange of blows garnered considerable attention.

Lin Yueshu defeated Puyang Yingjun, and the two performed quite well. Lin Yueshu's victory was a pyrrhic one, as Puyang Yingjun's mistress performed exceptionally well and pierced her shoulder.

Although Lin Yueshu is in the top five, she has no chance of making the top three given her current condition.

When choosing an opponent, Ma Zhan's male hormones took over. Based on the principle that there could only be one man among the top three, he took advantage of his number one privilege and chose Li De as his opponent.

Liu Nange and Zheng Xiaoqiao were in a dilemma. They were both arrogant in nature, and no one was willing to compete with an injured person.

In the end, Lin Yueshu took the initiative to challenge Zheng Xiaoqiao, ending the tangle between the two.
