246: Defeat the Vermilion Bird Army and advance to the quarterfinals

After the battle began, the Vermilion Bird Army was lured by Tie Shengnan into splitting into three armies: front, left, and right, with about 300 soldiers each.

The front and left armies were currently being dragged around by the Forbidden City's Fire Element Users and Metal Element Users, while the right army had been directly wiped out in a trap.

The situation reversed in an instant!

With the Forbidden City having scored a success, led by several dozen members of the Harem, the Water Element users, Wood Elementals, and Earth Element Users rushed directly toward the Vermilion Bird left army.

With several dozen Trial Takers possessing super-high attributes, plus the opponent's 800 against their own 300, the Vermilion Bird Army's advantage was completely wiped out.

"Do not scatter, gather together and there is still a chance!"

Feng Wu shouted loudly, leading the central army directly toward the left flank.

Although the numbers were now over 600 against over 900, the Vermilion Bird Army still held the attribute advantage. As long as the two armies converged and did not give the Forbidden City a chance to split them, the Vermilion Bird Army still had a very good chance.

However, just as Feng Wu was retreating with the central army, the Metal Element Users who had been hiding all along fully activated their Golden Bell Shield and Black and Yellow Body, directly charging into the Vermilion Bird Clan's central army.

"Kill!"

Feng Wu waved her hands rapidly. The opponent only had three seconds of Black and Yellow Body; as long as the Karmic Fire stacked high enough, after three seconds, these hundred-plus Metal Element Users could be directly wiped out, and the advantage would return to the Vermilion Bird Army's side.

However, just as the Metal Element Users launched their surprise attack, the Forbidden City Legion, which had originally been heading straight for the left army, turned around halfway and charged directly at the Vermilion Bird central army.

At the same time, the Wood Elementals who had just been assassinating in the Thunder Domain appeared behind the central army.

Wielding daggers, they struck directly at the rear of the Earth Element Users in the Vermilion Bird Army.

By the time Feng Wu reacted, the turning Forbidden City Legion had already followed Huang Chen's Harem to slaughter the rear of the Vermilion Bird Army's front army.

An overwhelming barrage of skills instantly engulfed the Vermilion Bird Army.

The entire Vermilion Bird Army fell into chaos. A flash of shame and anger crossed Feng Wu's face; from beginning to end, she had been played for a fool by Tie Shengnan.

"Kill!" She shouted delicately, charging directly toward the rear of the central army.

However... just as she arrived at the rear, the Harem Legion suddenly abandoned the enemy in front of them, and dozens of skills appeared simultaneously, stacked upon Feng Wu...

"Whoosh~" A flash of white light passed, and Feng Wu's figure was teleported out.

Seeing Feng Wu finally fall into the carefully laid trap, Tie Shengnan finally revealed a smile...

With Feng Wu leaving the battlefield, the result of the duel between the Forbidden City and the Vermilion Bird Army was already sealed.

As the last Vermilion Bird soldier was teleported out, the entire live broadcast room fell into a silence as deep as the dead of night!

Then came deafening exclamations and discussions!

"My god! What happened? The Forbidden City won?"

"Luring the enemy, splitting them, surprise attacks... The coordination between these five elements was played so skillfully."

"The Forbidden City's commander is too ruthless! It was simply an art form!"

"Their commander is called Tie Shengnan, this psychological tactic... She calculated every step to death!"

"It's amazing... This command of winning against a stronger opponent will definitely be repeatedly observed and studied by various clans! Tie Shengnan is simply a natural-born commander."

...

Returning to the Jinling Villa, Tie Shengnan saw Huang Chen raising his thumb and proudly lifted her chin.

To tell the truth, she had no confidence before the fight started.

If it weren't for Huang Chen's dozens of Harem members, even if they could really defeat the Vermilion Bird Army, they would have had to pay a considerable price.

Feng Wu did not come over immediately after the arena ended. After all, they still had one challenge opportunity, and there was a high probability that they could enter the top 100.

The rewards for the top 100 were vastly different from those after the top 100. Regardless, losing to the Forbidden City was within her expectations.

She just didn't expect that even though Huang Chen had gone so easy on them, they still couldn't win the match despite having a huge advantage.

It seems that after this Ladder Challenge Tournament ends, she must find Tie Shengnan to learn how to deploy troops properly.

After Feng Wu lost the arena match, she carefully reviewed the list of the current top 64 and the intelligence sent by Yang Nuo.

There were 52 Low Martial Race Groups and 12 High Martial Race Groups in the top 64. There was no need to look at the Low Martial Race Groups; to be able to enter the top 64, their Child of Destiny's 'cheat' was definitely not weak. It was still safest to choose a High Martial Race Group.

There were 8 top High Martial Race Groups participating in this trial, namely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Cili, Frost Snow, Elf, and Shadow Demon clans.

Currently, except for the Vermilion Bird Clan, the remaining seven major clans had all entered the top 64.

Therefore, the remaining 4 High Martial Race Groups were suitable as challenge opponents.

In the end, Feng Wu selected the Flame Spirit clan, which, like them, was an all-Fire attribute clan. They both played with fire, and Feng Wu was quite confident in her own fire.

The subsequent loser's challenge match was without suspense. The Vermilion Bird Clan replaced the Flame Spirit clan to become the new top 64, and the other three High Martial Race Groups were also replaced by three other Low Martial Race Groups.

In other words, the current top 64 guilds, except for the 8 top High Martial Race Groups, were all guilds of Low Martial Race Groups.

This was enough to show how huge the development potential of Low Martial Race Groups with 'cheats' was in the Star Abyss.

Of course, this did not mean that the Low Martial Race Groups currently had the strength to challenge the High Martial Race Groups, because such battles were in a very small range. For the duel between the hundreds of millions of Trial Takers of the two clans, the impact of most Children of Destiny on the battlefield was currently very limited.

After all, the Star Abyss had only descended for a few months. By the middle and late stages, once the bone structure and potential of the Low Martial Race Groups had developed, some Low Martial Race Groups would then have the true ability to compete with the High Martial Race Groups.

It was generally at that time that the top High Martial Race Groups would truly choose the Low Martial Race Groups they would assist.

Huang Chen watched the Vermilion Bird Clan's challenge and smiled, shaking his head. Under the blessing of Huang Chen's potential and her own fire element affinity, Feng Wu's attack power was simply too strong; even among the top High Martial Race Groups, she was in a league of her own.

It is estimated that among the Trial Takers, currently speaking of attack power alone, except for himself, no one could compare to Feng Wu.

In the next three matches, Huang Chen still did not make a move, but starting from the round of 32 to 16, the Forbidden City's battle pet legion began to appear.

There was no other way; the 'cheat' of the Child of Destiny on the opposite side at that time was a ten-fold rebound Halo. Their configuration was quite simple, consisting only of Metal Element Users and Water Element users, extreme tankiness plus extreme healing.

They just stood there in a lump, like a hedgehog.

Perhaps the opponent had also specifically respec'd to deal with the guild competition.

Although the Forbidden City Legion was strong, facing such a hedgehog, Tie Shengnan still felt there was no way to attack.

Helplessly, she directly summoned the Thunder Sub-Dragons. The Wyvern's health was dozens of times that of the opponent. Just like that, a hundred or so Wyverns threw a range Thunder Domain together, and both sides, human and dragon, ascended together...

The Vermilion Bird Clan and the other seven top clans stopped at the top 32. From the top 16 onwards, the competition in the Star Abyss truly became a competition between the new clans.

In the end, the Forbidden City won all three matches and successfully advanced to the top eight. Moreover, from beginning to end, no loser chose to challenge the Forbidden City Guild.

Soon, the guild advancement tournament ended, and the announcement also released the list of the top eight.

Forbidden City Guild, President: Huang Chen;

Xiongba Tianxia Guild, President: Xiongba;

Illusionary Realm Guild, President: Cang Yue;

Endless Fire Domain Guild, President: Zhu Rong;

Bi Hai Sheng Chao Guild, President: Lan Qingwu;

Guardian Guild, President: Chen Feng;

Five Poisons Guild, President: Ouyang Feng;

Thunder Guild, President: Lei Laohu.

Looking at the top eight list, they were all new clans that had never been heard of. It had to be said that many Children of Destiny's 'cheats' were too advantageous in this kind of small-scale team battle.

Even if many 'cheats' were relatively average, the base was too large. With 500 million new clans, it was normal for a few super-strong 'cheats' to be born.

Except for Huang Chen himself, Yang Nuo had already collected the intelligence on the other seven teams that entered the top eight quite carefully.

Huang Chen just glanced at it lightly and stopped paying attention.

For now, with Tie Shengnan's command, dozens of Harem members assisting, plus about a thousand Dragon Rider Army members, the Forbidden City could easily take it without him having to make a move.

After resting for only two hours, the Star Abyss announcement appeared again, and the individual Ladder Challenge Tournament 100 million to top eight match began...
