一女战三老外一女战三黑人

“The situation is this, the outcome of the competition among the four city-states of the Ancestral Dragon City-State will be determined in this Power Competition, so this time the territorial order of the Ancestral Dragon City-State, will be established by ourselves,” Zhu Minglang said to Nan Lingsha.

Nan Lingsha nodded and said, “That’s good.”

“There’s another matter that’s a mixed blessing. That is, the Imperial Dynasty is now only giving Rui Country one month’s time. If Rui Country cannot take over the governance of the Ancestral Dragon City-State within a month, then the Imperial Dynasty will allow the four states of Li Chuan to establish a new country as part of the Supreme Court Empire,” Zhu Minglang explained.

“One month’s time? Then within this month, Rui Country will surely come out in full force,” Nan Lingsha said worriedly.

“The third round will take place in the Mechanism City, and all disciples who enter the third round will do so at the same time. Right now, we must win this competition, otherwise, Rui Country is likely to make use of some evil forces to break through the defenses of the Ancestral Dragon City-State,” Zhu Minglang said.

The more urgent the time, the more recklessly Rui Country would act.

Zhu Minglang was not worried that Rui Country’s troops could breach Long Gorge within a month; what he cared about were those evil forces!

Only by securing the right to sit as soon as possible could the rulers of Rui Country possibly be restrained!

“Mechanism City?” Nan Lingsha asked in confusion.

“I’m not very clear about that either, but it’s said to be one of the ancient Imperial Cities. Due to the relocation of the central Imperial City, this Mechanism City has been abandoned for a long time. Later, some forces renovated it, turning it into an ancient city battlefield,” Zhu Minglang said.

“We’re facing more enemies now.”

“Yes, with the competition at stake, other powers will spare no effort to eliminate us. Without surprise, the Royal Family, the Four Major Sect Clans, the Six Great Clans, the Azure Dragon Palace, the Ancient Dragon Palace, the Godly Mortal Academy, and the Dragon Taming Academy all want the sitting rights over the Li Chuan Continent, and they’ve also thrown in a city-state level resource to make the competition even bloodier,” Zhu Minglang nodded and said.

“So life and death are no longer subject to the constraints of the Power Competition?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“Yes, since it has evolved into a competition, life and death are a matter of fate. Although there will be referees hovering over Mechanism City to promptly stop some killings, they can’t guarantee that deliberate slaughter can be stopped one hundred percent,” Zhu Minglang answered.

Seeing that Nan Lingsha didn’t respond, Zhu Minglang earnestly and seriously said, “Therefore, entering the Mechanism City this time, amid the rivalry for power and pervasive crises, and considering I already have some grievances with the people from the Royal Young Gang, I hope Miss Lingsha…”

“Hmm, I will ensure your safety,” she replied.

Did his sister-in-law have some sort of misunderstanding about him?

Zhu Minglang touched his nose, remembering the matter with Big Black Tooth, before saying, “By the way, thank you for healing Black Tooth’s wounds. I didn’t expect Miss Lingsha to have a healing-type dragon pet, which is quite rare.”

The reason he said this was because Zhu Minglang remembered seeing a dragon pet like a little ghost lingering around Nan Lingsha early one morning.

It must have been the little creature that rapidly healed Big Black Tooth’s injuries.

He just didn’t know what kind of dragon it actually was.

Nan Lingsha stood there quietly, only watching Zhu Minglang with those enchanting and beautiful eyes. With her face covered by a veil, her expression was unclear.

“What are you trying to probe?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“Nothing like that, I’m just slightly expressing my gratitude,” Zhu Minglang said with some embarrassment.

“If you want to ask, I can tell you the truth,” Nan Lingsha said with a smile.

“Actually, I was just thinking about the competition in a few days; it’s like entering the Asura Battlefield. If I could have a deeper understanding of Miss Lingsha’s abilities, it would be more advantageous for our victory,” Zhu Minglang said.

Zhu Minglang was telling the truth.

Nan Lingsha had demonstrated two different abilities.

Whether these two abilities could be used at any time, or if there were certain restrictions, was still unknown.

Her painting skills as a God and Mortal were indeed formidable, and Zhu Minglang didn’t need to be too worried about that.

However, it was her other ability that the Elder Sword Sovereign firmly believed she possessed as a Dragon Shepherd.

Zhu Minglang didn’t have a clear understanding of her strength as a Dragon Shepherd, and if he were to be trapped by a formidable enemy, he would have to take her safety into consideration as well.

If something unexpected happened to Nan Lingsha in this competition, he would have no way to explain it to Li Yunzi.

“How do you know I have a dragon?” Nan Lingsha asked.

“I saw it accidentally.”

“Let’s talk in detail after the competition. You don’t need to worry about me,” Nan Lingsha sighed softly.

Nan Lingsha also knew the intent behind Zhu Minglang’s question – he was still considering her well-being.

“Okay,” Zhu Minglang didn’t ask any further.

The original power struggle had completely changed due to the integration of the competition.

According to the methods of previous events, the main events towards the end were usually held within the Ancient Bronze Battlefield.

It was no longer a selection of hundred-men melee, but rather single-elimination duels.

But with the competition, numerous forces got involved, even piling up the rewards for this power competition to be higher than a mountain. Under these circumstances, it was no longer a mere exchange of learning and competition between disciples.

Including the manner of the competition, everything had completely changed.

The battlefield was set in the Mechanism City, where all the disciples of the forces who’d entered the third round would step into the Mechanism City at the same time. Hundreds of competitors, at every moment, there might be over a dozen battles occurring simultaneously.

This spectacle was truly unprecedented, and it took the already fiery power competition to a terrifying new height that everyone in the Imperial City yearned to witness.

Valuing strength has always been the underlying philosophy of the Supreme Court Empire’s prosperity.

For such a grand feast of power showdowns, they would certainly do everything possible to allow the common people to watch as well.

Therefore, choosing the Mechanism City as the battlefield was crucial.

If one arrived early, they could find a spot with a good view on the Mysterious Wall of the Mechanism City, and still be able to witness the battles among Dragon Shepherds and God and Mortals as if they were in the Ancient Bronze Battlefield.

The day of the Mechanism City’s competition for supremacy had arrived.

It wasn’t dawn yet, but one could already see the vast tide of people from various Imperial Cities moving towards the Mechanism City.

Mechanism City was a desolate city; within it thrived overgrown weeds, towering ancient trees, as well as farmhouses, lofts, crumbling walls, and ruined temples. After some modification, it gradually evolved into a practice ground where wilderness and city features were intermixed.

This place was intended to be a battlefield for Dragon Beasts’ confrontations, and with this year’s power struggle coinciding with the competition, the Imperial City officially utilized this desolate city under continuous renovation, presenting the Supreme Court Imperial City with its seventh Imperial City—the Battlefield City!

The location of the Mechanism City wasn’t particularly remote, and those who set off early in this direction could probably arrive around sunrise.

The Mechanism City was vast, approaching the scale of a city-state.

The city was enclosed by mysterious walls, tall and robust, which even some Steel Armored Ancient Dragons might not be able to knock down!
