"Another Saint?" The onlookers from various factions on the cape were greatly shocked by the strength displayed by Yifei City.
At the same time, they felt that Yifei City was too young and didn't know how to bide his time.
Even a Saint would not gain much advantage when besieged by over twenty peak Transcendent experts.
After all, among those over twenty peak Transcendent experts, some could already unleash strength comparable to the most ordinary Saints. Although such strength was still far from enough to contend with true Saints, their sheer numbers made up for it.
"It would be truly humiliating if he were to surrender under the siege of these Transcendent beings," the middle-aged man in white from the Mafia shook his head secretly, his heart filled with intense interest in the Black Tiger Gang.
Including Zhang Fan, who was not participating, this small Black Tiger Gang already had two Saints, both in their early twenties, with the potential to become gods.
The emergence of such a talented individual in the Black Tiger Gang could be attributed to luck, but if two appeared simultaneously, it would indicate that the Black Tiger Gang was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"They are quite clever to join forces, but it's useless." Zhang Fan, unaware of the unwritten rules of this world's gang competition, was surprised by the tacit cooperation of the other major gangs. However, upon brief reflection, he understood.
"Sister Peilisi, don't fight him. You can't beat him," Isabella shouted from Zhang Fan's side, tugging at him as she yelled towards the contestants from the Transcendent Alliance.
The Transcendent Alliance was considered top-tier among these twelve major gangs, and their contestants were of equally high caliber.
Among the two men and one woman, two of them had reached the peak of the Transcendent level, not much weaker than the deceased Kuke. The woman leading them was even comparable to a Half-Saint, capable of unleashing the strength of an ordinary Saint when fully unleashed.
Such a lineup could even resist a Saint on their own, and with the combined forces of other major gangs, defeating Yifei City was not an impossible feat.
However, Isabella was telling them to give up?
The woman named Peilisi, who had been full of fighting spirit and prepared to join forces with the others to fight this young Saint, hesitated upon hearing Isabella's words.
Although Isabella was just a little girl, no one in the Transcendent Alliance dared to underestimate her, not only because Isabella was their Alliance Leader's daughter but also because they understood Isabella's uniqueness.
Peilisi's hesitation, however, made the other major gangs anxious. They were well aware of the Transcendent Alliance's strength, which was definitely capable of competing for a top-three spot. But if the Transcendent Alliance withdrew, their combat power would be reduced by at least one-fifth.
"Peilisi, that Huaxia side only has one Saint. If that's enough to make your Transcendent Alliance scared, then it's truly disappointing," Bell stared at Peilisi with silver eyes, his voice low.
Peilisi smiled charmingly, "Why should I care if you're disappointed in our Transcendent Alliance?"
"This time, our Transcendent Alliance will not participate in your joint effort. However, you should consider your Daquan Gang first. If you die too, then your Daquan Gang will truly be annihilated, and your ranking will be at the bottom."
A hint of anger flickered in Bell's eyes. He let out a cold snort and said no more, but his silver eyes became even colder.
"Even if I die, I will make that Huaxia side pay a heavy price!"
The withdrawal of the Transcendent Alliance from the melee, prompted by Isabella's words, surprised some parties, but they didn't pay too much attention. After all, the remaining eight factions, with over twenty Transcendent beings combined, still had a high chance of defeating a young Saint.
"Russian Axe."
"Italian Mafia."
"American Brotherhood."
"Tijuana, Mexico."
"Hell's Angels, Canada."
"Yakuza, Japan."
"Southeast Asian Black Sorcery Hall."
"Oh, and the Daquan Gang, which is left with only a few stragglers, haha."
"Your combined forces are exactly what I want. Otherwise, the trash from the Daquan Gang, Yakuza, and Black Sorcery Hall would not be enough for me to fight!"
Yifei City paid no attention to the alliance of the various factions, becoming even more excited.
Lin Haotian, Si Youyou, and others stood behind Yifei City, with no intention of making a move. This was because they had a general understanding of Yifei City's strength. Even if they were truly outmatched, it wouldn't be too late for them to step in.
Yifei City's arrogant words caused the faces of the contestants from the allied eight factions to darken. The Daquan Gang, Yakuza, and Black Sorcery Hall couldn't help but curse him on the spot, their killing intent intensifying.
"Brother Zhang Fan, will Brother Yifei City be in danger?" Zhao Qingqing also stood beside Zhang Fan, looking quite nervous.
She had witnessed the previous melee and knew that everyone below possessed immense strength. Now, they were joining forces to deal with Yifei City alone, which naturally made her worried.
"Don't worry. Even if he can't win, I still have my disciple down there, so you don't need to worry," Zhang Fan said with a smile.
Zhang Fan was unsure if Yifei City could defeat that group of Transcendent beings, as Transcendent beings, compared to Innate Grandmasters, possessed more peculiar methods.
Although there was an insurmountable gap between Transcendent beings and Saints, the weakest of the Transcendent beings below had the strength of a peak Innate Grandmaster. Most of them could contend with Invincible Grandmasters, and a very few possessed the strength of a Half-Saint domain.
Facing such a lineup, if he was not careful, Yifei City might indeed suffer an unexpected defeat.
However, regardless of the outcome, Zhang Fan was not worried at all, as he had great confidence in Lin Haotian's strength.
With Lin Haotian present, Yifei City would not be in mortal danger even if he were defeated.
...
At this moment, the three contestants from the Transcendent Alliance had withdrawn from the battlefield, signifying their abandonment of the melee and their direct placement at the bottom of the rankings.
If they wanted to improve their rankings, they could only challenge higher-ranked gangs during the challenge phase.
However, the challenge phase was very disadvantageous for the challenger. The gang initiating the challenge could only send one challenger, and they had to defeat all the contestants of the challenged gang to succeed.
Therefore, generally speaking, everyone would try their best to improve their ranking during the melee, as it was extremely difficult to turn things around solely through challenges.
Over twenty Transcendent beings, each emanating a powerful aura, their eyes filled with fighting spirit, felt their blood surge.
Challenging a Saint was something they would normally not dare to do, but now, under their combined forces, each of them was filled with confidence.
"Do you want me to make a move?" Lin Haotian asked calmly, looking at the group of Transcendent beings with their imposing aura.
Although he didn't take these Transcendent beings seriously, he still acknowledged their strength, and Yifei City might not be able to withstand them.
"Just watch from the side. Leave it to me." Yifei City was also full of fighting spirit, eagerly anticipating this battle.
