172: Dark Tower, Dark Absolute

The young geniuses walked out one after another, but in the end, only thirty-odd people emerged. The others, seeing that Jiang Ye had killed people from the Three Domains, were worried that being associated with him would lead to trouble from the other domains.

"Good! Then let the drawing of lots begin."

The Disciples of the other Three Domains were forced to go and draw lots. This outcome was something they had never imagined in their wildest dreams. They had originally thought they could smoothly obtain a domain token to participate in the Four Domains Grand Competition, but now, even a slight resistance could cost them their lives.

A moment later.

The geniuses from both sides who were to face each other finished drawing lots. Jiang Ye said to the people of the other Three Domains, "As long as you defeat your opponent, I will let you leave this place. If you lose, then commit suicide!"

"What!" The people from the Three Domains were all shocked. This was forcing them into a life-and-death battle!

Jiang Ye continued to the people of the Southern Domain, "If you win brilliantly, I will consider directly awarding a slot."

"Really?" The people on the Southern Domain's side immediately became excited.

"But, once you step onto the battle stage, life and death are irrelevant for both sides! If you aren't confident in your own strength, you can still withdraw now."

"This..." These words made everyone feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

A contestant from the Southern Domain said, "You are the King of the Town; aren't you going to guarantee our safety?"

"I am the King of the Town, but I am not your father! If you don't have the guts to fight, then get lost and leave the opportunity to someone else."

A life-and-death battle! Now, most people hesitated. The Sect Masters and Sect Leaders of several forces immediately turned to Xia Li for help. They were unwilling to let their Genius Disciples engage in such a battle where life and death were not guaranteed.

Xia Li was also very helpless, but he didn't dare to offend Jiang Ye. This was because Jiang Ye's current strength was more than just a little bit more powerful than when he killed those people from the Ye Family. Coupled with his murderous nature, Xia Li didn't dare to go against his decision at all.

Finally, under Jiang Ye's forceful pressure, only nineteen people remained on the battle stage to face the life-and-death battle!

Jiang Ye smiled and said, "Very good! If you don't even have the courage to face a challenge, you won't achieve much in the future. Right now, the people from these other domains are all one or two levels higher than you in Realm. You must fight with all your might! Only then will you have the chance to distinguish yourselves in the Four Domains Grand Competition."

"I'll go first!" A young man dressed in black stepped forward and said, "King of the Town, I am Dark Absolute of the Dark Tower. My father, Dark Blade, previously accepted a commission to assassinate you. Now, the client has been eliminated by us, and we are willing to provide compensation. I wonder if the grievances between my Dark Tower and you can be settled?"

"Hehe, Dark Tower? Go pick someone two Realms higher than you for a duel. Regardless of life or death, we will be even."

"Alright, thank you!" Dark Absolute stepped forward and directly chose an Eastern Domain Martial Artist at the seventh stage of the Profound Breaking Realm as his opponent.

The Southern Domain Slot Competition's first battle thus began. On the duel stage, the two young geniuses were already prepared.

"Shadow Kill Art!" Dark Absolute took the lead, and a large area of black shadows suddenly appeared on the ground, rapidly spreading toward that Eastern Domain Martial Artist.

Dark Absolute's intention was seen through by that Martial Artist, who immediately soared into the air and charged at Dark Absolute with his sword raised.

"Mountain-Splitting Sword Qi!" A sword strike fell upon Dark Absolute, but Dark Absolute suddenly turned into a shadow and instantly expanded, wrapping around the Eastern Domain Martial Artist like a net.

Puff puff puff... "Ah... Bastard!" Boom!! The Eastern Domain Martial Artist erupted with all his Profound Energy, directly blowing away the black shadow wrapping around him. However, his entire body was now covered in dozens of stab wounds, his clothes were tattered, and blood was constantly seeping out.
