Bair displayed his ultimate defensive technique, 'Radiant Armor,' the condensed silver light armor consuming nearly half of his light energy. Its defense was extraordinarily potent.
He had once been confident that his 'Radiant Armor' could easily preserve his life even against an ordinary Saint.
However, today, facing the divine ability unleashed by Yi Feicheng, his confidence wavered.
"Come, let me see how powerful the Saint realm powerhouses of the East truly are!" Bair knew he had no retreat. The other extraordinary beings had distanced themselves, unleashing their defensive moves to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Perhaps immediately surrendering and withdrawing from the battlefield could prevent him from facing Yi Feicheng, but for the dignity of the Daquan Gang and his own inner pride, he absolutely refused to back down.
"Roar!"
With a punch, it was as if a peerless ferocious beast lunged at Bair. Although the White Tiger was condensed from true qi, its massive form was as substantial as if it were real, its ferocious gaze still chilling the heart.
Bair did not dodge. He knew he couldn't dodge anyway and could only face it head-on.
Boom!
The White Tiger collided with Bair at extreme speed. The thick and solid 'Radiant Armor' on his body was like a piece of thin paper, instantly torn apart, dissolving into countless light spots and vanishing over the sea.
Bair's body was then struck as if by a speeding truck, his bones cracking with a crisp sound. Most of the bones in his body shattered, and he was sent flying dozens of meters, blood gushing from his mouth and splattering into the sea...
The intense impact generated a powerful shockwave, stirring up a large expanse of seawater on the ocean surface, which surged outwards. After some time, the sea surface finally returned to calm.
A Saint from the Daquan Gang swiftly flew towards the spot where Bair fell, finally retrieving him from the sea. He glanced at Yi Feicheng, his eyes filled with ferocity and his expression extremely grim.
However, this was, after all, the battlefield of the world gangs. Even as a Saint realm mid-stage powerhouse, he dared not violate the rules of the battlefield. He could only carry the near-death Bair back to the cape.
The members of the Daquan Gang were all silent, the atmosphere utterly desolate. Bair, their last contestant, had been crippled. This time, the Daquan Gang had been utterly annihilated and would have to settle for the lowest ranking.
The thought that their bottom ranking would cause the Daquan Gang to lose considerable territory further fueled their anger.
The other twenty-odd extraordinary beings witnessed this scene with lingering fear. If Yi Feicheng had attacked them, their fate would likely have been as miserable as Bair's.
"This young man is truly remarkable. With only early Saint realm cultivation, he can unleash power comparable to the mid-Saint realm. That Daquan Gang kid wasn't killed in one blow; his life is quite resilient," a Saint from the American Brotherhood commented from the cape, sighing.
"Hmph, even if he's not dead, Bair is practically useless. He won't even be able to live as an ordinary person anymore. It would have been better to die and be done with it," another Saint replied.
"That Black Tiger Gang kid, though powerful, is a bit dim-witted. He crippled Bair but almost completely depleted his true qi. I'm curious to see how he'll deal with those twenty-plus extraordinary beings next," someone else mused.
...
Yi Feicheng stood tall on the sea, his formidable aura pressing down on the other contestants, leaving them breathless for a long moment.
"He has less than a tenth of his true qi remaining and is extremely weak. Let's attack together and avenge Bair!" the Japanese swordsman regained his senses and shouted, a hint of inexplicable excitement in his demeanor.
The other extraordinary beings heard this and realized that while Yi Feicheng was powerful, he was now like a spent arrow. They were no longer so terrified.
"Go!"
With someone taking the lead, the others naturally followed, all appearing quite excited.
If they could slay Yi Feicheng, it would be an incredibly glorious achievement for any one of them present.
An extraordinary being killing a Saint, even in a group assault, was enough to brag about for a lifetime.
"These scoundrels, they really want my life!" Yi Feicheng sneered, looking at the more than twenty extraordinary beings closing in on him.
"Next, leave it to me!" Si Youyou stepped forward and stood beside Yi Feicheng, radiating a powerful aura that made the excited extraordinary beings abruptly halt.
"Another Saint?"
A wave of dread washed over them; they couldn't believe it!
In the World Gangs Tournament, having one Saint was already rare, but they could still accept it.
But now another one had appeared, and they were from China's side. How could this be fought?
"Fuck!"
An extraordinary being couldn't help but curse. Everyone exchanged glances, caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do!
"Damn it, I'm not fighting anymore!"
Facing Si Youyou's formidable presence, which barred the way like a lone sentinel, some contestants finally broke down mentally, deciding to give up and withdraw, planning to seek opportunities in the challenge match.
"We, Tijuana, withdraw!"
"Hell's Angels withdraw..."
"Russian Axe withdraw..."
...
With one leading the way, the remaining major gangs no longer hesitated and withdrew from the melee one after another.
In almost a minute, all twenty-plus extraordinary beings had withdrawn from the battlefield and returned to the cape, leaving only Si Youyou, Yi Feicheng, and their companions.
"Is it over already?" Yi Feicheng blinked, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He had thought he would get to see Si Youyou display her might, but it seemed there would be no opportunity for that now.
Ge Ping and Ge Xia, the brothers standing behind Si Youyou, also exchanged glances. They hadn't expected it to be so easy.
They had witnessed how arduous their Qing Gang's battles had been in previous melees; compared to today, the difference was like night and day.
"Since that's the case, let's directly decide the rankings," Si Youyou said with a radiant smile. "Black Tiger Gang first, Hongmen second, Qing Gang third!"
"En." Yi Feicheng and Lin Haotian had no objections to this outcome.
Ge Ping and Ge Xia were not surprised either. Although their Qing Gang's lineup was very strong this time, they were still significantly behind Hongmen.
They knew the strength of that hulking figure, Lin Haotian, who was likely close to their Qing Gang's ancestor. They had no complaints about being ranked after Hongmen.
As for the Black Tiger Gang, even though they only had Yi Feicheng, they dared not forget that Master Zhang was also a member of the Black Tiger Gang. It was only natural for the Black Tiger Gang to be ranked first.
On the cape, everyone had been astonished by the aura Si Youyou displayed. They hadn't expected the Qing Gang to also produce a young Saint. With two Saints in control, the top two spots in this World Gangs Tournament had been directly secured by China.
