478: First match, Jia won.

At the top of a hill stood two women who bore a five-point resemblance to each other!

These two were none other than the Seventh Princess Li Muxin and the Ninth Princess Li Xueqin.

Behind them stood dozens of people, all their guards and maids.

Further back were the top fifty city lords who had been selected, and they were all going to participate in the Thousand Cities Great War!

Their gazes fell upon the Arena below, both expressionless.

On Li Xueqin's side, the combatants were Gan Yue, Xie Zhen, Bu Yixian, Jia Yi, and Ji Wuchang!

On Li Muxin's side, there were Zhang Meier, Wei Feiluan, Han Guang, Zuo Shangfei, and Lan Longwang!

If one only looked at their superficial strength, Li Muxin's side completely crushed Li Xueqin's side!

Even the weakest, Lan Longwang, was at the first stage of the Dao Severing Realm.

As for Li Xueqin's side, Ji Wuchang was only at the fourth stage of the Six Gods Realm, and Jia Yi was at the ninth stage of the Six Gods Realm. Neither of their cultivation bases had reached the Dao Severing Realm.

Seeing Ji Wuchang, Wei Feiluan's eyes surged with killing intent.

He had suffered such a great loss at Ji Wuchang's hands; if he couldn't get his revenge, his Dao Heart would become unstable!

Zhang Meier also sized up Ji Wuchang. Although she had seen him before, it was only from afar!

Now that they were only a few zhang apart, she could naturally see him more clearly.

Zhang Meier frowned slightly; she really couldn't see anything special about Ji Wuchang!

Ji Wuchang sat cross-legged on a rock not far from the Arena, ignoring Wei Feiluan's murderous gaze.

"System, Check-in!"

[Ding! Check-in successful in the core area of Star Chasing Mountain, luck points +1!]

Hearing the System's reply, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but sigh; this place was completely useless for Check-ins now!

He originally wanted to be the first to fight, but Li Xueqin wouldn't allow it.

Are you kidding? Winning one match earned 300,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. If he went first, she would have to pay 1,500,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Li Xueqin wasn't stupid. Although she didn't have high hopes for the first four, taking down two or three opponents shouldn't be a problem.

This also meant that Ji Wuchang would face at most two opponents, and she would only have to pay at most 600,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

"Everyone, today's competition was proposed and jointly decided by the two princesses!"

"This competition is called 'Arena Snatching,' meaning the person standing on the Arena is the victor!"

"To motivate everyone, the five winners of this side can share one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each person will also receive a Grade Six Stage-Breaking Pill!"

"But I hope everyone will try to show mercy and not take lives. The competition officially begins now; both sides may send someone to the Arena!"

Zhao Lianpeng flew into the air and spoke slowly!

As his voice fell, discussions immediately erupted from all around. Many people gasped when they heard about the Grade Six Stage-Breaking Pill.

One must know that a Grade Six Stage-Breaking Pill was enough to allow someone in the Dao Severing Realm to instantly Break-through one small stage, or even two small stages.

"The two princesses are truly generous, offering such rich rewards!"

Someone whispered in the crowd, their eyes filled with envy.

"Don't envy them, this thing isn't easy to get!"

"This competition concerns the dignity of the two princesses. No matter which side wins or loses, it means one side will lose face."

"If you're resented by one of the princesses, it'll truly be more trouble than it's worth!"

A man at the first stage of the Dao Severing Realm spoke, his expression solemn.

As his words came out, the people around him nodded in agreement, awakened by his words.

Many people looked solemn, thinking to themselves that if they were resented by a princess, they would definitely be unable to eat or sleep peacefully.

At this moment, Zhang Meier and Wei Feiluan discussed in low voices for a few moments, then nodded to Lan Longwang.

Lan Longwang understood, stepped forward directly, and stood on the Arena with a single stride.

On Ji Wuchang's side, they were also discussing at this moment.

Because Ji Wuchang had already been designated by the Ninth Princess Li Xueqin to be the last to appear, the four of them exchanged glances, and Jia Yi stepped forward directly.

Jia Yi actually had no interest in such a competition.

But she had no choice now but to step forward, her eyes indifferent.

Jia Yi slowly walked towards the Arena. The coldness in her eyes gradually deepened, and there was no emotion in her gaze as she looked at Lan Longwang.

"Senior Brother Ji, can Fellow Daoist Jia Yi win the first match?"

Gan Yue asked Ji Wuchang with some concern.

Ji Wuchang glanced at Jia Yi and Lan Longwang, then spoke calmly, "If she wants to win, she will win."

His meaning was clear: as long as Jia Yi didn't hold back, Lan Longwang was sure to lose.

"Jia Yi, please enlighten me!"

Just then, Jia Yi cupped her fists at Lan Longwang, and a long sword appeared in her hand, emanating a chilling aura.

Lan Longwang's expression was solemn; he dared not underestimate Jia Yi in the slightest. He felt a terrifying killing intent emanating from her.

Such a person was definitely no ordinary individual, and moreover, one who was decisive in killing!

"Lan Longwang, Fellow Daoist Jia, please!"

Just as Lan Longwang's last word, 'please,' fell, Jia Yi's body instantly vanished from her original spot.

Lan Longwang was startled. He immediately took four steps forward consecutively, and the long sword in his hand slashed backwards.

Lan Longwang's reaction was incredibly fast, completed in an instant!

But he misjudged his enemy; Jia Yi was not behind him, but above his head.

At this moment, six Jia Yis appeared above Lan Longwang's head. They simultaneously raised their long swords and slashed down at Lan Longwang.

Six chilling sword lights, combining together, directly formed a sword Formation and fiercely slashed down towards Lan Longwang.

"Longwang, be careful!"

Han Guang couldn't help but speak. He hadn't expected the opponent to be so decisive, immediately unleashing her strongest killing move.

Lan Longwang felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, but he was already caught in the Formation and it was impossible to break free.

He roared, and a black shield flew out of his hand, directly blocking above his head.

"Clang..."

Almost the instant the shield appeared, six sword lights directly struck it.

Light scattered wildly from the shield, then with a 'crack,' the shield shattered, and the six sword lights rushed towards Lan Longwang again.

But Lan Longwang had gained this brief moment of buffer and finally broke free from Jia Yi's lock-on.

His body shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, escaping Jia Yi's attack range.

But just then, Jia Yi moved, her body like a ghost, sticking tightly to Lan Longwang.

The long sword in her hand was like a phantom, directly piercing towards Lan Longwang's throat!

Blood splattered, and the intense pain prevented Lan Longwang from making any sudden moves; otherwise, if the opponent's long sword erupted with power, his head would fly into the air.

Jia Yi's speed was as fast as lightning. She flew up and delivered three consecutive kicks to Lan Longwang's chest.

Lan Longwang screamed, his body flying backward, blood gushing from his throat, and he slammed heavily onto the ground.

First battle, Jia Yi wins!
