May I seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and live a long and prosperous life.

On the second day of the Grandmaster Battle, Chen Tianwang's camp sent out seven Grandmasters who were openly known, plus the Three Musketeers, for a total of ten Grandmaster warriors.

The leader of the Blood Lotus Sect and Chen Tianwang silently observed the situation from the rear.

On the Yuncheng side, there were only ten Grandmaster-level martial artists, both openly and secretly.

This time, all the grandmaster martial artists in Yuncheng must go into battle to fight the enemy.

The battle between the grandmasters lasted from day to night, finally ending at midnight when both sides stopped fighting.

The second day of the Grandmaster Battle saw no Grandmasters die, but all ten Grandmasters sustained minor injuries. In particular, the three late-stage Grandmasters who faced the Three Musketeers were the most seriously injured, as the Three Musketeers were exceptionally powerful.

Although the opposing side also had Grandmasters injured, the number of injured was significantly less than that of Yuncheng's side.

Moreover, the opposing side still has three Grandmaster-level martial artists who haven't appeared yet, and it's unknown how many more Grandmaster-level martial artists they have hidden. Meanwhile, Yuncheng has already gone all out, and the situation is extremely urgent.

On the third day, Chen Tianwang's camp did not send any grandmasters into battle.

On the fifth day, the Grandmaster Battle resumed.

King Chen dispatched nine Grandmasters (the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect guarded the main camp) and the Three Musketeers, a total of twelve Grandmasters, to launch an attack on Yuncheng.

The ten grandmaster martial artists of Yuncheng were once again forced to fight.

This time, with two more Grandmasters on the opposing side, the ten Grandmasters from Yuncheng suddenly felt much more pressure.

The battle was fierce and chaotic, with both sides tacitly agreeing to fight outside the city so as not to affect civilians.

Ultimately, the battle ended at the cost of a Grandmaster's death in Yuncheng.

The news of the death of a Grandmaster in Yuncheng spread to both factions, causing great panic among the people of Yuncheng. Many people spontaneously burned paper money to send off the Grandmaster, but a small number of people had already considered fleeing Yuncheng.

Meanwhile, Chen Tianwang's camp was greatly encouraged. Although one of their grandmasters was seriously injured, they felt it was well worth it.

Moreover, and more importantly, this battle allowed them to understand the true strength of Yuncheng; Yuncheng probably only had ten Grandmaster-level martial artists.

So on the sixth day of the Grandmaster Battle, King Chen once again took the initiative to provoke a fight.

This time, they once again sent out nine grandmasters and three swordsmen, a total of twelve grandmasters to participate.

It is worth mentioning that the seriously injured grandmaster has been replaced, and the grandmaster who took the stage is not the grandmaster that Chen Tianwang is known to be.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect remained at his headquarters, protecting King Chen.

The battle began instantly. The nine grandmasters from Cloud City were already exhausted, and they were forced to fight again.

This time, due to the difference of three Grandmasters, the battle situation instantly tilted in favor of Chen Tianwang's side.

Later in the fight, a middle-aged martial arts master from Yuncheng suddenly self-destructed, killing one of the two opposing masters who were fighting around him and seriously injuring the other.

Because Chen Tianwang's side feared that the Yuncheng Grandmaster's self-destruction would drag the opposing Grandmaster down with him, the Grandmaster battle was temporarily suspended.

When news of the tragic self-destruction of the middle-aged grandmaster in this battle, resulting in the death of one of the opposing grandmasters and serious injury of another, reached Yuncheng, many people in Yuncheng wept bitterly. They put up white couplets and burned paper money in their homes, bidding a tearful farewell to this heroic grandmaster.

In Yuncheng, every household was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief.

Morale was extremely low throughout Yuncheng.

On the ninth day of the Grandmaster Battle, King Chen once again dispatched ten Grandmasters and the Three Swordsmen to brazenly start the battle.

This time, they were well prepared and unafraid of the Cloud City Grandmaster's self-destruction.

……

At this time, there was a Buddhist temple in the northeast of Yuncheng, called Changuang Temple.

Zenguang Temple is a very famous ancient temple in Yuncheng, with a thriving incense offering and a constant stream of tourists. The old abbot of the temple is kind-hearted and often provides medical treatment and relief to the local people.

But no one knew that this old abbot was actually a martial artist at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

On this day, the temple closed its gates and refused to receive tourists. The abbot summoned his disciples and said, "Yuncheng is facing imminent disaster, and we have a duty to resist the enemy and defend our land. I will go to aid Yuncheng, and I entrust the temple to you!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples burst into tears, unable to bear the loss of the old abbot.

The old abbot stood up and said angrily:

"You are all upright men, why are you acting like children? This old monk is already past his prime, and this time I have sacrificed myself for the country and my family. It is a worthy death. You are still young, so please preserve your bodies and play a greater role in the future!"

After saying this, the old abbot picked up his staff and strode away from Zenguang Temple.

"The wrath of the Vajra is revealed today!"

.......

In the southeast of Yuncheng, there is a Taoist temple called Xuanxiao Temple.

This temple is rather dilapidated and not very popular with worshippers; it's far inferior to Changuang Temple.

There was an old Taoist priest with white hair and white eyebrows in the temple.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest was cleaning the Taoist temple.

After he finished cleaning, the old Taoist priest silently returned to his room, took out a rather old box, inside which lay an ancient iron sword.

The old Taoist priest took out an iron sword and gently wiped the patterns on it.

"Our nation is in peril, old comrade, come with me today and fight the enemy!"

The old Taoist priest shouldered his sword case and resolutely left the small Taoist temple where he had lived for more than thirty years.

"With bushy brows and a fierce spirit, he leaps ten thousand miles into the sky. On his back, a three-foot sword lies sheathed, a symbol of justice for the people and a sign of injustice."

……

Outside Cloud City, the Grandmaster Battle begins.

Yuncheng now has only eight Grandmasters left, and all of them are still injured.

Their expressions were extremely solemn. They knew very well that in this battle, more comrades would likely die. But for the sake of the three million people of Yuncheng, for the sake of all the people of Chu, and for the sake of their children and grandchildren, they had no choice but to fight!

"Brother Yan, I often made things difficult for you in the past, I hope you won't hold it against me. This time, I, Zheng, will take the lead, hahaha!" Zheng Yuheng said seemingly optimistically.

Yan Mufeng's expression was serious. He extended his hand and said, "Brother Zheng, what's the point of dwelling on the past? Now, let's join hands and wipe them out without leaving a single survivor!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Alright, on this trip, we'll slaughter them all!"

"Kill them!"

Eight grandmaster-level martial artists charged toward the thirteen grandmaster-level martial artists opposite them with unwavering determination.

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out:

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment. How can we go into battle without this old monk?"

In the distance, a kind-faced old monk, revealing his powerful muscles, swiftly flew towards the battlefield, carrying a staff in one hand.

"Fellow practitioners, please don't be stingy; even if you're on the battlefield fighting the enemy, it's still my duty!"

An elderly Taoist priest with white hair and eyebrows, carrying a sword box, also came from afar.

The Yuncheng warriors who were watching from a distance were startled.

Who are these two grandmasters? I've never seen them before.

"Haha, my two comrades, you've come at the perfect time! Let's fight the enemy together and keep each other company on the road to the Yellow Springs!" Zheng Yuheng said.

The two old masters, one Buddhist and one Taoist, each found a peak Grandmaster from the other and began to fight.

Soon, the old monk's staff was shattered, his chest was shattered by the internal force, and he also smashed the other's head with a palm.

At the last moment, the old monk, with blood at the corner of his mouth, still smiled and said, "I was already nearing the end of my life, but today I was able to take away a strong and vigorous grandmaster. My life has been worthwhile..."

On the other side, the white-haired, white-browed old Taoist priest shattered the opponent's heart with a single sword strike, but he himself was also hit by the opponent's final blow.

The old Taoist priest, already on his last legs and with no hope of survival, smiled bitterly and said, "Old friend, our fate in this life has run its course. See you in the next!"
