172: Chapter 172 The Desperate Alien Race!
"Not good!"
"This!"
Below the stage.
Qing Chen and the other two Quasi-God Rank Alien Race Prodigies had their expressions change drastically.
They had just been immersed in Ao Ying's crushing defeat and hadn't fully reacted yet.
They never expected Li Fan to already be charging toward them!
Immediately, the three of them quickly deployed their defenses.
But it was a pity.
It was still too late!
The bone saber, swung with Li Fan's immense strength, moved with terrifying speed.
The defensive attacks launched by the two Quasi-God Rank Prodigies were met instantly; half of their heads were sliced off by the incomparably sharp bone saber.
Only Qing Chen, who possessed more seasoned combat experience and the strongest overall ability, managed a sideways dodge and survived.
However, one of Qing Chen's arms was also cut by the turbulent wind generated by the bone saber, creating a large gash that bled profusely, leaving him in a miserable state.
At the same time, the residual power of the bone saber took away several Saint Rank Prodigies standing behind the three of them.
This all happened in the blink of an eye.
The Alien Race Prodigy camp was instantly awash in blood.
And this sudden turn of events truly caught everyone present completely off guard.
They originally thought it would only be Ao Ying's miserable defeat, but they never imagined Li Fan would conveniently take down a large group along the way.
This overwhelmingly dominant fighting style truly made people watch with their hearts pounding in fear.
"Bing Xiong!"
"Zhang Yuan!"
In the audience seats, the Alien Race Hall Masters watched this scene, unable to help but stand up simultaneously, their expressions filled with extreme pain.
They had lost two more Quasi-God Rank Prodigies!
And the only one left alive, Qing Chen, was also in an extremely wretched state.
The hope of winning had, at this moment, practically been declared collapsed!
Li Fan's strength was truly beyond their wildest imagination!
Although he was far from reaching the God Rank,
this level was no longer something Prodigies like Qing Chen could contend with.
"This is impossible? His Highness Bing Xiong and His Highness Zhang Yuan have also fallen?! And they were taken out by His Highness Ao Ying's bone saber?!"
"Too terrifying! This guy is simply too terrifying!"
"What kind of monster is this Li Fan? One throw took away two of our Quasi-God Rank Prodigies?!"
"Unfair! This is unfair! Li Fan is definitely an existence at the Hall Master level; he shouldn't be appearing on a battlefield like this!"
"I didn't expect even our strongest Prodigy, His Highness Qing Chen, couldn't withstand this strike. It's over! We are completely finished!"
"Who can stop this Li Fan? I don't want to die!"
...
In the deep sea.
After two more Quasi-God Rank Prodigies were taken down with such simple efficiency,
the Citizens of the Alien Race were already plunged into extreme despair.
The hope they had finally seen rekindled was extinguished once again in the blink of an eye!
And looking over at the Alien Race Prodigy camp,
seeing the heads of the two fallen Quasi-God Rank Highnesses lying before them,
the fighting will they had gathered completely shattered.
Consuming Li Fan's strength together? With the monstrous strength Li Fan displayed, how were they supposed to consume it?!
For a moment,
some Alien Race Prodigies began taking their own lives.
Rather than being dismembered by Li Fan and dying miserably, it was better to preserve a complete corpse for themselves.
"Calm down!"
"Everyone, calm down!"
Qing Chen, while treating his own injuries, watched his comrades collapse in distress.
He knew that even if he said anything now, it would be useless.
And never mind his comrades,
even he felt boundless despair in his heart.
Ao Ying stepping onto the stage had not forced out Li Fan's limit; instead, it had thoroughly enraged Li Fan, causing him to go on a killing spree and directly crushing everyone's psychological defenses!
Conversely, the Great Xia camp presented a completely different picture.
"Damn! Li Fan is too fierce!"
"Good killing!"
"So satisfying! The souls on the bone chain can finally rest in peace!"
"This is outrageous! Right on the verge of death, he dared to joke about the souls of our compatriots. Li Fan killed well!"
"Now we've secured it! As long as Li Fan wins against the last remaining Quasi-God Rank Prodigy, our victory will be completely established!"
"Cosmic Starry Sky, here we come!"
"Brother Fan, you are my God!"
...
Throughout Great Xia, aside from being shocked by Li Fan's strength, there was now an atmosphere overflowing with the joy of impending victory.
Li Fan's image as a savior had completely taken root in their hearts.
"I never thought our final hope would truly be held by Little Fan!"
"Worthy of being my son, Li Daguo! I told you, agreeing to let Little Fan join the seed program back then was the right choice!"
In the audience seats, Li Daguo and Huang Lan were extremely excited, their joy evident on their faces.
Although the final result hadn't been confirmed, there was practically no need to continue.
Unless Li Fan himself inexplicably ran into some major issue,
there was no possibility of losing.
The other God Rank figures of Great Xia were all emotionally covering their faces and weeping.
This victory had truly been hard-won.
They now respected Li Fan from the bottom of their hearts.
Yes, respect!
Even though their seniority far surpassed Li Fan's, Li Fan's contribution in this assessment far exceeded theirs.
"Is it over just like that?"
In the Alien Race formation,
after healing his arm injury, Qing Chen looked at Li Fan's insurmountable figure in the Beast Fighting Arena, and the successive suicides happening behind him, murmuring to himself.
He had envisioned countless times leading his people into the starry sky, advancing to a broader stage.
Countless times he envisioned facing off against the stunning talents of other races in the universe in peak duels.
Countless times he envisioned himself as a cosmic magnate, supporting a realm for his family, becoming an ancestor.
And all of this,
was now incredibly distant from him.
"I'm so unwilling!"
Qing Chen clenched his fists, speaking through gritted teeth, his face filled with unwillingness.
He truly did not want to fall here like this.
Ever since learning about the Civilization Assessment, he felt a deep sense of suffocation.
Blue Star was too small, so small it felt like a cage, one he could never escape even if he exhausted his entire life.
He didn't want to die in a cage, leaving not even a trace behind.
Just as his emotions were about to spiral out of control,
a flashing white light slowly began to emanate from his body.
That's right.
He was the one who had been selected to step onto the stage next!
Looking at the white light on his body,
Qing Chen was first stunned, several emotions flashed through his eyes, finally settling into utter determination, tinged with a hint of ruthlessness.
On the other side,
Li Fan, seeing that Qing Chen was the one drawn, immediately signaled him to hurry up and come to his death, not to waste time.
However, such a provocative action didn't cause much emotional change in Qing Chen.
Qing Chen raised his head, looking directly into Li Fan's eyes.
"Li Fan, perhaps I still cannot defeat you. My Sea Race, my Qing Chen, will all perish in the torrent of history, but a person must leave something behind."
"You are strong. Even if you enter the starry sky, you might achieve something great.
So, I have decided to leave my mark on you. I will march toward the Cosmic Starry Sky carrying the pain I inflict upon you!"
His tone was heroic, resounding across the entire Blue Star.
Instantly, the despairing Citizens of the Alien Race and the celebrating Citizens of Great Xia redirected their gazes back to the Beast Fighting Arena.
The battle, it seemed, was not yet over!
