At the critical moment of life and death, the only remaining Featherman Gu Immortal, Zhou Zhong, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of the most direct way to turn the situation around.
"I concede!" he shouted.
Fang Yuan's attack came to an abrupt halt.
Zhou Zhong panted heavily, drenched in sweat within moments.
The tens of thousands of feathermen on the ground only then reacted, letting out a chorus of shocked exclamations.
In the span of just a few blinks, a Rank Seven Gu Immortal from the Featherman side had fallen, forcing Zhou Zhong to actively concede!
Fang Yuan had laid his plans meticulously, and when the dagger was revealed, the Feathermen paid a heavy price. It was a disastrous defeat.
This was a world of difference compared to the previous nine matches, so it was no wonder the Feathermen were shocked and clamorous.
Zhou Zhong's face was pale, his heart still trembling with lingering fear. He repeated: "I concede. According to the agreement, the ten matches are over. We need to leave this place."
The undisguised hatred and anger in his eyes as he looked at Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng was palpable.
They had killed the Featherman Gu Immortal Zheng Ling, but Zhou Zhong was in no position to take revenge.
How could he take revenge?
If Zheng Ling were still alive, he and Zhou Zhong together would have absolutely suppressed Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
This was the fact of the matter.
The foundations of Zheng Ling and Zhou Zhong were incredibly deep, exceeding Fang Yuan's estimates. They might not have had many Immortal Gu, but they had already deduced and created many Immortal killer moves.
These killer moves covered offense, defense, advance, retreat, healing, reconnaissance, and every other aspect. There were no weak points whatsoever.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, in contrast, mostly used Mortal killer moves. If a truly fierce battle had broken out, they would have been suppressed in every area, making it difficult to even gain the upper hand.
Of course, this was Tai Bai Blessed Land, giving Fang Yuan's side the advantage of terrain.
But don't forget, a Blessed Land could not withstand Immortal Gu and Immortal killer moves.
Therefore, Zhou Zhong could only forcefully suppress his hatred and hold back his desire for revenge, deciding not to argue with Fang Yuan and the others for now. The priority was to escape this place and find a new settlement for his people.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng could not prevent this request.
The reason was simple.
It was the Information Path Immortal killer move they had used earlier.
If Fang Yuan's side violated the agreement in any way, they would suffer a violent backlash and die on the spot.
Fang Yuan was not like Li Shan the Mountain Fairy; he had no Time Path killer move like 'Kai'. Thus, he could not violate this agreement.
In fact, Zhou Zhong was on full alert, secretly hoping Fang Yuan's side would violate the agreement.
This way, the enemy would be annihilated, and this Blessed Land would fall into the hands of the Feathermen. As for Tai Bai's Land Spirit recognizing a master or something, that would be another story.
Of course, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng couldn't act themselves, nor could they summon outsiders like Hei Lou Lan or Li Shan the Mountain Fairy to meddle in this matter.
Although Feathermen are not as spiritually rich as pure humans, such an obvious loophole could not exist.
Once Fang Yuan summoned reinforcements, it would be a violation of the agreement, leading to instant death.
"Indeed, the ten matches are over. According to the previous agreement, both sides must open the passages and allow the remaining feathermen to withdraw safely." Fang Yuan nodded and said to Zhou Zhong, "Rest assured, we won't go back on our word."
"That's good." Zhou Zhong let out a turbid breath. In his heart, he was actually quite regretful that Fang Yuan had kept his word.
"However..." Fang Yuan's tone suddenly shifted.
"However what?" Zhou Zhong immediately looked at him warily.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly. "The tenth match was won by our side. According to the rules, we get to select slaves from the feathermen on the ground first, before we can let the rest of the feathermen leave."
Zhou Zhong sighed. Looking at his own people on the ground, his heart was filled with inner turmoil, his fingernails digging into his flesh.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng descended and began selecting slaves among the feathermen.
