There was complete silence.

Su Mo had slain Leng Xie within a second. The scene had shocked everyone watching the duel.

​​

They were firstly amazed that Su Mo's prowess was able to kill Leng Xie within one second. Furthermore, Leng Xie, though unknown for his prowess, had delivered a heavy blow.

Secondly they were taken aback by Su Mo's ruthlessness. His sword was a sure-kill weapon. Its objective was to kill Leng Xie.

"He sure has good prowess!"

Ancient God Tu Ying, his face resolute and handsome, stood with his both hands behind his back. He was wearing a gentle smile on his face.

This Su Mo, with his Rank 1 of the Empty God Realm, he certainly had strong fighting capability.

However, Wu Zuo frowned. He felt pressured by Su Mo's prowess.

He was speculating that now that Su Mo had achieved a breakthrough in the Empty God Realm, it was highly possible that Su Mo's ability had surpassed his.

"Su Mo, how can you be so ruthless on the challenge platform?"

At this moment, an elder from the Sun Moon Tribe shouted angrily.

The elder was none other than the chief from the Sun Moon Tribe. He was Yin Kwang. Upon seeing Leng Xie's death, he was enraged.

This Su Mo was such a ruthless man, he did not show any mercy.

"If you wish to avenge him, please step up the platform for a duel!" Su Mo turned to look at Yin Kwang and said coldly.

"You are courting death!" Yin Kwang's intention to kill was obvious. He sprung upwards and was ready to strike.

He could not bring himself to believe that with his prowess attained through several thousands of years of practice and his Rank 4 Empty God Realm's cultivation, he would be unable to kill Su Mo.

"Yin Kwang, do you wish to see the Sun Moon Tribe perish?"

At this crucial moment, Long Chao let out a violent roar that shook heaven and earth.

Hearing Long Chao's sudden cry, Yin Kwang's shadow halted on its spot. His face turned green immediately.

Even though the Sun Moon Tribe was strong, he would not wish to confront the Dragon Tribe directly.

"Yin Kwang, do not disrupt the challenge!" Xing Han waved his hand and declared. He was not bothered about Leng Xie's death.

The Dawn Stone Mine Contest did not state any rule that no one could kill. No one was bothered by the death of an unknown fellow.

This Dawn Stone Mine was important to every tribe and clan.

Therefore, every saint from every tribe would do their utmost at the annual contest. Death and injury were inevitable.

Yin Kwang's facial expressions changed from time to time. In the end, he descended to the ground.

He had to submit humbly. His Sun Moon Tribe was weak and incomparable to the Sky Tyrant Tribe.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo flew down from the platform.

Very soon the challenge continued. All the contestants took turns to go up the challenge platform.

However, many of the fights were finished in no time because of the unmatched fighting ability between the contestants.

On average, most duels were completed within five strikes.

Because the contestants would pick opponents who were weaker than themselves. They used such strategies to score points.

Soon there was a super powerful saint who went up the platform. This fellow was tall and strong, he had a hooked nose and a face like a vulture. This guy was You Tian. He was number forty-three, a saint from the Giant Bird Tribe, and was ranked ninth amongst the ten saints on the God's Path.

You Tian had robust abilities. He waved the sleeve of his robe and a strong gust of wind whipped by. Within seconds, his opponent flew out of the platform.

Soon it was Wu Zuo's turn as his number forty-eight was called.

However, Wu Zuo did not pick Su Mo. Instead, he chose an ordinary genius to duel with. Since Su Mo had already fought Leng Xie, he was unable to challenge Su Mo.

Moreover, he did not have confidence in his ability to defeat Su Mo.

Even if he had this ability, he was ready to give up the opportunity. He would hand Su Mo over to Li Qianjue.

Wu Zuo's challenge ended quickly. He delivered only two blows and the game was over.

The contests continued, one after another.

Long Daotian was number fifty-one. He picked a genius from the Day Sun Tribe.

This genius from the Day Sun Tribe, though of Rank 3 Empty God Realm, was unable to counter Long Daotian's blow.

"Su Mo, who will you duel with later?"

Long Daotian, who had just completed his challenge and on his way down from the platform, asked Su Mo, who was standing beside him.

"Who wishes to kill me? I shall return an eye for an eye." Su Mo replied plainly.

"Oh?" Long Daotian exclaimed with some surprise. This Su Mo was a conceited fellow. Did he wish to challenge Li Qianjue?

"I would like to remind you, if you lose, please get off the platform immediately!" Li Qianjue spoke after some thoughts. Although he was displeased that Su Mo was a contestant at the challenge, he had no wish to see Su Mo being killed.

After all, with Su Mo's formidable prowess, he could offer valuable assistance to the Dragon Tribe.

Su Mo shook his head and remained his reticence. He had not intended to lose the duel.

Half an hour later, it was number eight-six's turn to go up the platform.

The contestant was none other than Ancient God Tu Ying.

Swoosh!

Tu Ying made slow steps on the empty space and descended to the platform.

Everyone who saw Tu Ying go up the platform was serious and solemn.

The Ancient God Tu Ying was the number one genius on the God's Path. Although he had attained Rank 2 Empty God Realm, he was quite powerful and no one had dared to look down on him.

Several contestants started to get nervous. They were worried that Tu Ying might pick them as his opponent.

"Unfathomable!"

Su Mo scrutinised Tu Ying through the narrow slits of his eyes. This fellow's aura was deep and boundless, he was unable to decipher his real prowess.

He would have to wait for him to fight before he could fathom his prowess.

Ancient Demon Tuo Si, Ming Yu from the Nether Tribe, Li Qianjue, Long Daotian, Xing Yuanhao from the Star Tribe, and all the other supreme saints, all appeared gloomy and serious.

Because Tu Ying would be their threat to the throne.

On the platform.

Tu Ying was relaxed. He stood and scanned the whole area, at all times wearing a gentle smile on his face.

When he noticed Su Mo, Tu Ying's gaze paused for a while. A strange look flickered across his eyes.

However he was able to mask the emotion he had felt very well. No one had detected it.

"If my opponent is too weak, it will be a meaningless duel! You Tian, you take the lead!" Tu Ying scanned around and he locked his gaze on You Tian. He was ranked number ninth of the ten saints. He was considered a pretty good match.

When everyone heard Tu Ying's words, they were surprised.

Obviously!

Tu Ying was confident. He did not bother to choose mediocre saints to duel with. He had chosen You Tian as his opponent in his first challenge.

At the bottom of the platform, You Tian, clothed in a yellow robe, stood with a frowning face that resembled an eagle.

He had least expected that Tu Ying would challenge him and regarded him as a stepping stone.

However, he heard no one. It was too early to tell who would be the winner.

Swoosh!

You Tian lifted himself and descended to the platform.

"Tu Ying, let me see your prowess. You are a legendary ancient god. How good are your skills?" You Tian stared at Tu Ying and he dared not take his opponent lightly.

Facing the number one saint, the legendary ancient god, he ought to be prudent.

"No! You are not qualified to know my super ability!" Tu Ying took out an arm from his back in a calm manner, and he waved to You Tian.

"What?"

You Tian was gravely offended. After all, he was ranked as the ninth saint. However Tu Ying had the nerve to despise him. What an arrogant person.

"Tu Ying. aren't you afraid that you may twist your tongue by such arrogant words?" You Tian spoke in a cold manner.

"Arrogance?"

Tu Ying shrugged his shoulders and replied smilingly: "I am not arrogant. There is only Tuo Si who is qualified to duel with me here. Forgive me for being blunt, but you and the other saints are totally useless!"
