Chapter 1281: 1281
Both Duan Wuji and Yin Tianjiao, who had been able to fight Ye Futian at the Battle of Emperor Kua’s Ruins, had been eliminated .

Of the three of them, Ye Futian was the only one who had the right to continue fighting for the Thousand Word Proverb Stele .
This seemed to confirm the results of the Battle of Emperor Kua’s Ruins . Most of the time, one’s actual power was the basis of luck and coincidence .
As Duan Wuji and Luo Yang’s battle came to an end, there were only four people who had received Peach Invitations left who had not yet fought .
They were Xing Kai, Jiang Tai’e, Xie Qingshan, and Yu Sheng .
According to what Chi Shang had said, the four of them would have to fight next .
At that moment, Jiang Tai’e stepped forward . Of the other three, the one who had the best chance of being a threat to him was Xing Kai .
Xing Kai was a Saint of True Self, just like him .
Xie Qingshan and Yu Sheng were on the Regional King Ranking just like him, but in a lower division, and their understanding of the Great Path was much weaker . They would be humiliated if they fought him .
Even if they all had to control their wills, he would still have the advantage .
Thus, to be fair, he had to challenge Xing Kai .
However, he had no assurance of victory if he faced Xing Kai . It would be difficult for him to win, and he would have to expend a lot of energy .
The Thousand Character Stele was a Renhuang level artifact . If he wanted to compete for it, he naturally could not waste too much of his energy .
“Yu Sheng . ” Jiang Tai’e had decided who he would challenge .
From his view, based on the power that Yu Sheng had shown and his crazy abilities, he was a natural talent .
But natural talents were often lacking in terms of ability to comprehend things .
So, as far as Jiang Tai’e was concerned, his best choice was to choose Yu Sheng .
Besides Ye Futian, Yu Sheng looked at Jiang Tai’e and said, “I forfeit my claim to the stele . ”
A look of shock came over the faces of the people on Divine Mountain . They had thought they were about to witness a truly explosive battle .
They would never have thought that Yu Sheng had no intention of fighting and would give up like that .
He was not going to fight .
Ye Futian was the only person from Qianye City who would fight .
Jiang Tai’e had been very well prepared for this . Yu Sheng had always practiced a kind of demonic magic ever since he was young . Later, he had mixed in other methods, but the demonic magic had always been the absolute core of his skills .

Moreover, these demonic arts seemed to support all of his future cultivation, allowing him to continue raising his level .
Thus, Yu Sheng was not too familiar with other forms of power .
Other people placed great value on the Thousand Word Proverb Stele, but he had no interest in it .
Using his understanding of the stele to fight was not interesting to him .
That was not his fighting style .
Ye Futian was shocked as well .
This guy was too direct . Couldn’t he be a little more tactful?
This was really embarrassing .
At least he was someone who naturally commanded respect .
Even Jiang Tai’e had not thought that Yu Sheng would give up . A look of shock came over his face, and then he walked away .
This was good, though . By avoiding this battle, he could save some energy to deal with the next one .
Next, it was Xing Kai and Xie Qingshan’s turn to fight .
The battle turned out just as everyone expected . Xie Qingshan may have been powerful and was on the Regional King Ranking, but he was of a lower level than Xing Kai . After a wild battle, Xie Qingshan was the loser in the end . However, he did cause some problems for Xing Kai .
Anyone who could enter the Regional King Ranking was a powerful figure, one of the strongest in the Crimson Dragon Realm .
And so, those that had the right to continue fighting were Ye Futian, Pei Min, Luo Yang, Xing Kai, Jiang Tai’e, and Yu Shifei .
Of course, Xia Qingyuan was also left . She may not have received a Peach Invitation, but she had defeated Shu Zi, which gave her the right to continue .
However, as long as Ye Futian was there, Xia Qingyuan would probably not compete, so no one knew if she would fight anymore .
Each of the people who were left was a powerful, famous figure .
Not much needed to be said about Ye Futian . In recent days, he had become the most famous person in the Crimson Dragon Realm .
In the year that Xing Kai, the heir of the Ancient Imperial City, had entered the Regional Palace, he had swept away all his opponents there .
Luo Yang and Jiang Tai’e were two of the most prestigious youths in the Crimson Dragon Realm .
Pei Min was just as famous as Xing Kai in the Regional Palace . He came from Sword Palace .

Yu Shifei would likely be the future Queen of the Crimson Dragon Realm .
Luo Yang stepped out first and challenged Yu Shifei .
Both of them had been born in the Crimson Dragon City . One of them was the hope of the Luo clan, and the other was the hope of the Yu clan .
The two of them had cultivated to very similar levels and were often compared to each other .
This was going to be a great competition: a battle between ice and fire .
Previously, Luo Yang had dominated Duan Wuji, and Yu Shifei had dominated Yin Tianjiao’s flames .
But Yu Shifei could not dominate Luo Yang . After a struggle, Luo Yang was the eventual winner .
He was superior to Yu Shifei on their level, but their understanding of the Thousand Word Proverb was very similar .
After the two of them stepped down, Pei Min came out and looked towards the people from Qianye City .
Ye Futian knew what he meant and stepped forward .
Previously, Pei Min had been challenged by Wuchen and had shown his outstanding power in the battle . Ye Futian had a good impression of him .
The two of them stepped to the center of the banquet hall, with everyone watching them .
The descendant of Emperor Jian was going to fight Ye Futian .
What kind of contest would this be?
Pei Min looked at Ye Futian with a smile . “His Highness set this match to test our understanding of the stele, and thus we must fight . I am at a higher level than you . Even if I control my will, I will still have the advantage . In your last battle, you showed that you had an exceptional understanding of the Thousand Word Proverb . It will be enough to see which of us has a deeper understanding . There is no need to fight . ”
As a Saint of True Self, he only wanted to fight Ye Futian in terms of their understanding of the Thousand Word Proverb .
As far as Pei Min was concerned, this contest did not mean too much .
He had been very casual in his fight with Ye Wuchen .
Now, facing Ye Futian, he was only curious about how much Ye Futian had been able to comprehend .
He was not interested in fighting Ye Futian just because he was famous in the Crimson Dragon Realm .
If Ye Futian had been a Saint of True Self, he would not have limited himself .
If that were the case, he would have been more interested in the fight .

But not now .
Everyone at the banquet was speechless . They had expected a fierce fight .
However, Pei Min had suggested that they not fight .
It seemed like he was not interested in doing so .
But they knew where he was coming from . As far as Pei Min was concerned, there was no point in fighting Ye Futian in a situation like this .
Ye Futian smiled and nodded . “Fine . ” Not having to fight was naturally the best option for him .
“You saw the previous battle . My understanding of the Thousand Word Proverb has been integrated into my attacks . I also watched your battle where you created many powerful attack seals which you integrated into your divine attacks . However, is that really all of your understanding?” asked Pei Min .
“I felt everything that you did,” said Ye Futian . As he said this, a halo of brilliant ancient characters appeared around him . There seemed to be three thousand of them, flowing continuously between heaven and earth and containing the terrifying power of the Great Path .
In a flash, the ancient characters turned into sword seals, each one filled with terrible Sword Qi and as sharp as could be . They swirled around Ye Futian .
A look of surprise came over Pei Min’s face as he stood there calmly, feeling everything .
“I am far from truly comprehending the essence of the Thousand Word Proverb . This is just a shadow of it,” continued Ye Futian . The flowing sword seals went towards Pei Min, turning into a river of swords that flashed through the air .
Pei Min felt like what was coming for him was not many individual swords, but a single one .
The flowing sword seals stopped coming closer to Pei Min . They flew around him in circles, giving off an ear-splitting noise .
“It looks like you weren’t using your full power in the last battle,” said Pei Min . This made Xiang Ze look even more gloomy .
His defeat had already been humiliating enough, and now Pei Min had just said that Ye Futian had not been using his full power .
That…
Ye Futian did not confirm or deny what Pei Min had said . Pei Min smiled and said, “Your understanding of the Thousand Character Proverb is greater than mine . In that case, there is no reason to keep fighting . I forfeit my right to the Thousand Word Proverb . ”
He nodded to Ye Futian as he said this, then turned and left casually .
It was just like he had said . They had not fought .
But in reality, Pei Min had admitted that his understanding of the Thousand Word Proverb was less than Ye Futian’s .
However, no one thought that Pei Min’s loss was shameful at all .
On the contrary, it made them think that the descendant of Emperor Jian was a very noble and extraordinary man .
The two men peacefully ended their contest, and they both returned to their original places .
There were only two people left . There was a decisive battle between Xing Kai and Jiang Tai’e . It was a true contest of strongmen .
The power of their attacks was terrifying . Their understanding of the Thousand Word Proverb Stele was incredibly deep . They were locked in a mighty struggle .
In the end, though, it was Xing Kai who had the ultimate victory .
Xing Kai had defeated Jiang Tai’e in battle .
It may not have been a real battle, but Xing Kai was able to extend his undefeated streak .
Moreover, the enmity between the Ancient Imperial City and Qianye City was extremely deep . But up until this point, other than the affair with Hua Ye, Xing Kai had never directly targeted Ye Futian .
But now, besides Xia Qingyuan, who had not fought, there were only three people left .
Ye Futian, Xing Kai, and Luo Yang .
It seemed like there was no way that Ye Futian could avoid fighting Xing Kai .
Unless he was eliminated by Luo Yang, or if Xing Kai was eliminated by Luo Yang . But it was much more likely they would be the final two contestants .
Chi Shang looked at the last few people, smiled, and said, “It seems that the Thousand Word Proverb Stele will soon have an owner . The last few people who want to fight can do it together . ”
Luo Yang was the first to step forward . Then Xing Kai stepped out of the crowd .
Ye Futian looked at the two of them then stepped forward as well towards the center of the banquet hall .
Xia Qingyuan looked at him, then whispered, “Let’s do it together . ”
Upon saying this, she stepped forward as well, walking side by side with Ye Futian .
Xia Qingyuan was going to fight .
Four people would fight in the final battle for the Thousand Word Proverb Stele .
Two of them were Saints of True Self, and two of them were Doctrine Saints .
Xing Kai and Luo Yang obviously had the advantage!
