Chapter 2507 Entering the Fourth Floor

“Means that don't see the light of day? No, not really!”

Qiu Xia recalled the situation at the time, “If there was anything, it was that Senior Sister Du was careless.”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

“No wonder Fairy Du lost, she must have been careless and that Ye took advantage of the opportunity…”

“I knew it, how could someone from Tianluo State be an opponent for a Great Ascension Middle Stage Cultivator…”

“That Ye is absolutely despicable, he actually ambushed Fairy Du…”

Qiu Xia felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply closed her mouth.

Baili Xingkong looked at Li Miaozhen and comforted her, “Grand Elder, you don’t have to take it too much to heart.”

“Ye won by ambushing. Aren’t there still people from our Royal Family in Tiansheng State? I believe Baili Kun will definitely deal with him.”

He spoke with full confidence. With Baili Kun, a Great Ascension Middle Stage Cultivator, and Baili Ao, who was proficient in Formations, he believed it would be more than enough to deal with Ye Bufan.

The others all echoed his sentiments, partly to curry favor with Li Miaozhen and Baili Xingkong, and partly because they also felt that Ye Bufan should not have won.

But just as these people were speaking animatedly, the Ten-Tier Tongtian Tower flashed with light again, and three figures flew out one after another.

The three looked unharmed, but even at this point, they still had expressions of panic.

Nangong Shangyuan, who had been smiling, changed his expression. These three were Disciples of his Jijian Sect.

“What's going on? You also came out from the Second Layer?”

“It's… it's… it's Ye Bufan…”

The little guy Cultivator leading them stepped forward to explain.

Nangong Shangyuan asked, “What, you fought him?”

“No…”

The little guy Cultivator swallowed, “We saw him kill Baili Kun, and he wanted to silence the three of us.”

“So we quickly crushed our teleportation jade tokens and escaped.”

His voice was not loud, but when it fell among the crowd, it was like a thunderclap, setting off a stormy wave in everyone's heart.

They had just said that he won against Du Ling霜 by ambushing, but in a blink of an eye, he had killed Baili Kun. How could this be explained?

Baili Xingkong's face instantly became extremely ugly. This was not just a matter of Baili Kun's defeat, but also his nephew, Baili Hongjun.

He stepped forward and grabbed the little guy Cultivator's collar, “What did you just say? What exactly did you see?”

“Your Highness, please don't be angry, let me explain slowly…”

The little guy Cultivator broke free from his hand and began to recount, “We were originally looking for the passage to the Third Layer when we heard thunder and rushed over.”

“We just happened to see Ye Bufan control lightning to kill Baili Kun. His entire body turned into nothingness, not even a trace was left…”

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the arena. Everyone could tell that Ye Bufan's victory in this great battle was legitimate and had nothing to do with ambushing.

But the opponent was a true Great Ascension Middle Stage powerhouse, so how did he die just like that?

Baili Xingkong's eyes were bloodshot, “What about His Highness the Crown Prince and Baili Ao? Did you see them?”

“His Highness the Crown Prince was watching the battle from the side. I didn't see Baili Ao, but there was a headless corpse nearby…”

After the little guy Cultivator finished speaking, everyone already understood what had happened. Presumably, Baili Ao had already been killed by Ye Bufan first, then Baili Kun died, and as for the remaining Baili Hongjun, he was probably in grave danger.

The Saint Dragon Empire Royal Family had originally sent these three to kill him, but they all ended up dying at his hands.

One event after another, like one slap after another, landed on the face of Tiansheng State.

Originally, because of Ye Bufan's sudden rise, Tiansheng State only got nine spots in this competition.

Now, it was even worse. Of the nine people sent in, eight were directly eliminated, and they couldn't even pass the Second Layer.

As a result, the final outcome could already be deduced: Tiansheng State would inevitably become the last place in this competition.

The competition rules that Baili Xingkong had set earlier were like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

Now he had used the Tongtian Tower to modify the rules again, originally intending to suppress Tianluo State and Tianqiong State, but it backfired on him again.

The Cultivation World has always respected the strong, and no one would sympathize with the weak.

At this moment, everyone retreated, keeping their distance from Tiansheng State, their gazes filled with mockery.

Feeling the changes around him, and thinking of the Crown Prince's death, Baili Xingkong was almost driven mad with anger. His eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body radiated intense killing intent.

“Damn Ye Bufan, my Saint Dragon Empire Royal Family will definitely kill you!”

Li Miaozhen's expression was also gloomy. Now, eight of the nine people from Tiansheng State had been eliminated, leaving only Leng Qingqiu.

Any fool could see what was going on. The two of them must have reunited.

It was likely that when they walked out of the Tongtian Tower, Leng Qingqiu would bid farewell to the Cold Sword Immortal Sect and leave with Ye Bufan.

Inside the Tongtian Tower, Ye Bufan and the others quickly entered the Third Layer. They rested briefly in the evening and entered the Fourth Layer the next day.

Compared to the three layers below, several people immediately felt the difference here. The Spiritual Qi became increasingly dense, and the Spiritual Plants they gathered were of increasingly high Rank.

At the same time, the pressure within the tower also grew stronger.

When they first entered the Tongtian Tower, they could still fly, though it consumed a lot of Qi, they could barely manage it. But now, it was completely different.

Flying was no longer possible; they could only walk forward with their feet on the ground.

However, the Fourth Layer was not what they wanted. Ye Bufan continued his previous strategy, moving forward while searching for the passage to the Fifth Layer.

Two hours later, they discovered another difference: there were more and more Yao Beasts here, and they were not restricted by Rank; there were both low-Rank and high-Rank ones.

“Woof ao…”

With a earth-shattering roar, two two-headed lions appeared before everyone.

These creatures were enormous, much larger than lions on Earth, comparable in size to rhinos.

Each had two heads, constantly roaring with their gaping mouths, and their four blood-red eyes emitted a bloodthirsty glow, looking incredibly terrifying.

These were Rank 7 Yao Beasts, and compared to those they had encountered before, their combat power had increased by an unknown number of times.

Lu Xueman frowned, “Xiao Fan, have you noticed? Inside this Ten-Tier Tongtian Tower, your Beast Saliva Pill doesn't work!”

It turned out that after entering the Fourth Layer, Ye Bufan had ground the Beast Saliva Pill into powder and distributed it to everyone to apply to their bodies.

He had originally thought it would be like in the Tianluo Secret Realm, where they could directly dispel these low-Rank Yao Beasts and reduce a lot of trouble, but facts proved they had thought too much.

The Yao Beasts here were not only extremely fierce but also ignored the effects of the Beast Saliva Pill.

“That girl Xiao Qing is becoming more and more useless. When we go back, I'll starve her for three days and not give her any food.”

Ye Bufan joked casually, not taking the current situation seriously.

Before entering the tower, to be on the safe side, he had not brought Xiao Qing into the Dragon King Palace, but had entrusted her along with Zhongli Mei to Ximen Feng.

Just as he was about to deal with the two large creatures in front of him, two figures suddenly sped from a distance.

“Evil beast, take this sword!”

With an extremely pretentious roar, sword light flashed, and the four large heads of the two two-headed lions flew up together, then fell to the ground with a thud.
