Chapter 1208 - 1206: The Tall Poppy Gets Shot

The Fire Qilin nodded in agreement.

Seeing the firm stance of the two, Wang Zhan didn’t persist and continued, "Since that’s the case, I shall respectfully accept. Anyway, all three of us are always together, and my trump cards are also your trump cards!"

"Now that we’ve dealt with the Thunder Power of this layer, we can proceed directly to the final layer."

Wang Zhan’s gaze became significantly more solemn and he then walked toward the door on his side, with the two behind him quickly following.

As they entered the final layer, they were shocked to find a few people already standing inside, all exuding terrifying strength, including the Overlord Gun they had seen before!

After staring at Overlord Gun Liu Yin for a while, Wang Zhan puzzledly said, "These guys must have arrived here before us, but why haven’t they taken the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower? It seems like they’re waiting for something!"

Just as he finished his words, a cold laugh came from the crowd, as a man glanced at Wang Zhan’s group disdainfully and said irritably, "Isn’t it because of you guys? If it weren’t for you holding us back, we would have already started vying for the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower by now!"

"The final trial is for everyone to have a great duel, where the one who stands last will naturally become the master of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower through a drop of blood. However, if you had perished in the previous trials, we wouldn’t have to wait here unnecessarily, but you kept delaying below, which wasted a lot of our time!"

Many people also glanced coldly at Wang Zhan’s group, their eyes filled with hostility.

But it wasn’t just because Wang Zhan had wasted time, but more because they had numerical superiority, while the others were all lone wolves!

Seeing the gathering crowd, Wang Zhan ignored their words and instead whispered, "I remember there were quite a few people when we first entered here. Now, only these people are left. It seems those people have already perished inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!"

"No wonder I heard previously that none who entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower could leave unscathed. Apparently, it’s because of this giant duel that everyone fell here!"

"But if you think about it, there should at least be one person who can stand last and become the Tower’s master, right? Why is the outcome so disappointing then?"

Wang Zhan’s gaze also became much more solemn, evidently seeking the opinions of the Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit.

Although this final stage is indeed a grand duel, Wang Zhan wasn’t in a hurry, as he knew well that everyone present was a top-tier powerhouse, so no one would be the first to make a move lightly. Any loss in strength would be equivalent to giving the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower away for free!

So these old foxes are naturally waiting for an opportunity!

After hesitating for a moment, the Sword Spirit spoke, "I think it’s because when the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower bonds through a drop of blood, there’s a process. If you cannot gain the Tower’s approval during this time, you would meet a doomed fate, which is the main reason why no one can leave the Tower alive!"

"So you mean that entering here is nine deaths to one survival? And the chances of leaving are extremely slim?"

Wang Zhan quickly retorted.

The Fire Qilin, arms crossed, said, "That is indeed the Sword Spirit’s intention. If you think about it, fortune favors the bold. If you could obtain the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, your power would greatly increase, benefiting immensely in the process, which is why everyone probably wants to take the risk."

"If you don’t get the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, then you’ll likely be struck down on your way out like a drowning dog, ending the same. So it’s better to take the risk!"

Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly. His power could steadily grow and eventually attain suitable divine weapons and tools, so why gamble his life for something so elusive?

Although Wang Zhan and his companions were here, it was because they didn’t know the situation inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower beforehand. If they had known, Wang Zhan might not have brought his two companions along with him!

To prevent a total wipeout, and to have Sword Spirit and the Fire Qilin escort him to the Netherworld!

While Wang Zhan was pondering these thoughts, Liu Yin stepped forward from the crowd, holding his long spear, and calmly said, "Everyone!"

"Since we’re all here, let’s be frank. I assume everyone here wants the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, which is why they braved all the way to this point, correct?"

"Given that, we all understand the trial mode, so let’s not waste more time. If you want to strike, then prepare to strike now. What do you think?"

"No one knows yet who will win in the end, but no matter who stands last, I congratulate them ahead of time!"

Everyone looked at each other. Though all present were strong and had ascended through the trials below, proving they are mighty champions, they clearly knew Liu Yin was the most troublesome opponent.

Among all present, whoever tried to take on Liu Yin alone would find it as difficult as ascending to heaven!

But they dared not reveal their mindset to avoid Liu Yin’s resentment, which would make matters even more complicated!

But surely, they need an idea to wear down Liu Yin!

Otherwise, none of them could stand last, and even if they had the chance, facing Liu Yin alone afterward would be incredibly tricky!

Just then, a person stepped forward from the crowd, eyeing Wang Zhan while pointing at him and saying, "We’re all on our own here, so if it’s a free-for-all, we naturally have no allies. But they have numerical superiority, which I find unfair. So let me make a suggestion!"

"Let’s sweep these three out first, then fight among ourselves. What do you all think?"

The crowd fell into contemplation. Evidently, no one spoke up, but it wasn’t that they didn’t want to move against Wang Zhan; rather, they all had their own schemes!

This man had expressed his thoughts, effectively becoming Wang Zhan’s enemy!

They wanted to see Wang Zhan and this man clash again. Whoever gained the upper hand would benefit them to some extent!

Wang Zhan’s eyes grew icier, clenching his fist, as he said word by word, "You’ve really made a suggestion! Since that’s the case, I’ll deal with you first today!"

Everyone was overjoyed, as Wang Zhan was following their intentions, making them quite comfortable!

The next second, thundering sounds came from the sky as Wang Zhan clasped his hands, and bolts of lightning tore through the sky, directly enveloping the man who spoke!

The man’s breaths became ragged as he quickly stepped back, casting his gaze over the crowd, while promptly saying, "Are all of you just planning to watch? They gained the upper hand with numbers; if we don’t break them one by one, none of us can beat him! Ultimately, he’ll just get the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower for free. Is that what you want to see?"

Yet everyone remained silent!

Letting Wang Zhan deal with one person was advantageous for them, and they weren’t sure what would transpire!

Additionally, Wang Zhan attacking that man meant that regardless of who wins or loses, it would impact both sides, giving them some opportunities!

The man’s breathings became more rapid as he looked at the Thunder Power surrounding him, gritting his teeth, "You damn beasts, you won’t end well either!"

"I’ll wait for you in the Netherworld!"

As the man finished speaking, a lightning arrow pierced through his chest, reducing him to ashes!

No trace of mercy appeared on anyone’s face.

Indeed, the protruding stake takes the first hit!

But inside their hearts, they rejoiced silently. Just moments ago, many intended to strike against Liu Yin, perhaps even making such a proposal—if someone did, they’d become Liu Yin’s enemy, much like this man now!

After surveying the crowd, Wang Zhan calmly said, "Perhaps we can think of another way to settle things, avoiding casualties."

"I assume everyone here is well-established and some of you have your own factions. Do you want those painstakingly built factions to vanish like smoke?"

"I believe this isn’t your original intention, correct?"

The Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit stood vigilantly by Wang Zhan’s side, warily watching everyone present!

Avoiding any unforeseen events!
