Chapter 191: Unlucky Cang!
When the matchup list was announced, Qing Shuang turned to look at Gu Xing.
After receiving a nod from Gu Xing, Qing Shuang disappeared like a phantom and appeared on the arena.
Watching Qing Shuang on the stage, Gu Xing nodded in satisfaction.
He was completely confident in Qing Shuang's abilities.
But as for Fei Yue.....
Only the first place in the tournament could have the opportunity to come into contact with the Divine Pattern.
However, with Fei Yue's current attributes, achieving first place was simply impossible.
Gu Xing turned slightly and noticed Fei Yue's face was somewhat pale.
It was clear that she also understood, with her current abilities, it was impossible to win first place.
Seeing this, Gu Xing reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Fei Yue, don't be nervous, you can choose not to go on stage."
With Qing Shuang's abilities, winning first place should be no problem.
Then, she could directly transfer the opportunity to bond with the Divine Pattern to Fei Yue.
But...
When Gu Xing laid out this plan, Fei Yue shook her head.
"Master, this won't work! The Great Elder will never allow it."
Previously, Fei Yue had informed Qing of Gu Xing's plan.
At that time, Qing's response was:
Impossible!
Gu Xing wasn't present back then, so he didn't hear it.
Qing told them that the Ghost Race Great Elder was certainly bonding with the Divine Pattern.
At this critical moment, even if Qing Shuang won, the Great Elder would find various reasons to stop her from approaching the Divine Pattern.
Not to mention allowing Qing Shuang to transfer the qualification to contact the Divine Pattern to Fei Yue.
This is why Fei Yue's face was pale, and her eyes filled with worry.
She knew well that with her current abilities, she couldn't contend with the Commander Level of the Ghost Race.
But the most crucial part of Gu Xing's plan was for her to obtain the bond with the Ghost Race Divine Pattern.
If they finally got a chance to participate in the tournament and failed due to insufficient abilities...
She couldn't accept such an outcome no matter what.
After hearing Fei Yue's response, Gu Xing frowned slightly but soon relaxed.
"Since Qing has decided to leave the Forbidden Land, conflict with the Ghost Race is inevitable."
"If things don't work out, we might as well seize the Divine Pattern by force!"
After comforting Fei Yue, telling her not to worry too much, Gu Xing refocused his gaze on the arena.
At this moment, Qing Shuang stood on the arena, yet her opponent...
Is Cang, but there was still no sign of him.
The surrounding Ghost Race crowd began to murmur:
"Why hasn't Lord Cang come yet? Hurry up and eliminate this Unicorn Ghost Race!"
"What do you know? Lord Cang hasn't appeared because he thinks it's not worth facing her seriously!"
"True! With Lord Cang's skills, eliminating this Unicorn Ghost Race is a snap!"
But Qing Shuang completely ignored these remarks.
She just felt that the name "Cang" seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall where she'd heard it before.
As time ticked by, Cang's figure still didn't appear.
Just as the crowd was about to lose patience, a space crack abruptly opened in the center of the arena.
The very next second, Cang stepped out of the crack.
The scene instantly ignited the atmosphere on site.
"Lord Cang! Get rid of this trash!"
"Lord Cang! End it quickly and drive them out of the Ghost Race!"
At this moment.
Cang, stepping out of the space crack, kept his eyes shut, savoring being the center of attention.
He purposefully arrived late to attract more attention...
As the Great Elder's son, he had never appeared in public settings before.
But today...
It was his first time making such a high-profile entrance.
He took a deep breath.
Being the focus of the entire arena was indeed intoxicating.
When he slowly opened his eyes, he had already rehearsed numerous dazzling poses in his mind to instantly defeat his opponent.
After all, most first-round opponents are Low Tier Commanders, with his Commander Tier Three, Half-step Myth Talent...
Facing Low Tier Commanders of the Ghost Race would surely result in an instant win!
However...
When he truly saw the figure standing opposite him, he was struck dumb like being hit by lightning.
That familiar unicorn...
That familiar figure...
His nightmare!
"You, you...what are you doing here?!"
Cang's voice uncontrollably trembled.
Qing Shuang had long left a deep shadow in his heart, and upon meeting again, fear washed over him like a tide, rendering his limbs weak.
While Qing Shuang only furrowed her brows slightly.
What's wrong with this Ghost Race?
Why does he look like he's seen a ghost?
Although they had exchanged blows in the Divine Secret Realm before...
With Cang's skills, he left no impression on Qing Shuang whatsoever.
Right at this moment, a voice draws near.
"Begin the match!"
The Ghost Qi around Qing Shuang suddenly condensed.
But...
Cang hurriedly waved his hands, cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"W- Wait!"
He was too aware of the terrifying skills of this Unicorn Ghost Race.
Back then, while both were at Extraordinary Peak, she could easily crush him.
Now, she was Commander Tier Four, while he was only Commander Tier Three, and the gap could only grow bigger.
But this was his first time engaging in an act, if he surrendered instantly...
Cang clenched his teeth:
"W-We can negotiate!"
"I... I am the Great Elder's son, if you surrender, I can plead to my father to let you return to the Ghost Race!"
He threw all his bargaining chips he could offer.
Due to fear, his voice was somewhat intermittent.
The Ghost Race observers seeing this scene immediately caused a stir:
"What's going on? Lord Cang seems to be afraid?"
"Must be our illusion, right? How could the Great Elder's son fear a cast-out inferior being?"
At this point, Qing Shuang looked at Cang, her gaze gradually turning cold.
The Great Elder's son?
Initially, she just planned to eliminate the opponent simply.
But now...
Knowing that was the Great Elder's son, she couldn't hold back at all.
"Ghost King's Body!"
A rush of Ghost Qi instantly enveloped Qing Shuang, her attributes soaring frantically.
Qing Shuang's attributes, combined with the Ghost King's Body, already stood invincible among the same tier.
When Cang saw the Ghost Qi rising around Qing Shuang, his face turned deathly pale instantly.
He dared not hesitate, immediately activating the Ghost Qi within, also launching the Ghost King's Body.
However, the same skill in the hands of different people displayed a world of difference in power.
Qing Shuang's Ghost King's Body could amplify attributes by 1.5 times, while Cang could barely reach 1.2 times.
What's more lethal was the huge difference in their Basic Attributes, now infinitely magnified.
In face of this overwhelming power disparity, Cang didn't even get the chance to launch his Domain.
"Boom!"
Qing Shuang's figure appeared before Cang like a specter.
With just one hit, Cang flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall, sending up a cloud of dust and debris.
Life or death uncertain!
The entire arena fell into sudden silence, all Ghost Race stared with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe this scene.
Lord Cang...defeated?
Just like that...with one move?
How could this be?!
