The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 228 ~ Lose Telak
Late dark night. There was not a single speck of the moon's silvery light that illuminated the nuances of the time.
Whush!
Whush!
Some shadows shot out at high speed. Jump over the roof by the roof of the house, until it reaches a building extending at the very end close to the forest.
Secretly watching the house. .
One of them gave the code to the other to go forward. But no one moved following his instructions.
The man was furious, he then turned his head back to tell his subordinates back, but what did he see? There's no one there.
"Did? Where the hell did they go? Goddamnit!" objurgation.
For a moment, he felt his cold nape. He immediately dodged to the side. Sure enough, a sharp knife almost pierced his nape. Luckily the reflex he released was fast, so he still had time to avoid it.
Unfortunately, the knife did not stay still and allowed himself to live longer. Very quickly, the knife again moved in a circle, and right hit his brain. Blood dripped past his eyebrows and flooded his eyes. Instantly the leader of the surveillance group that night just died.
Intentions to kill in silence, but not yet to do the action, they have been killed by people who even they themselves do not know.

The top 25 is back in the beginning. This time it has slightly different rules than before. Where participants here will be distributed each stone with a different color. There are five types of colors in a fabric bag.
The contestants will vote without seeing the color of the stone. In other words, when they took the stone in the bag they did not see directly what color they would choose but rather it was by chance.
One of the participants who gets a black stone then he will be immediately disqualified. Meanwhile other participants who have the same color then they will fight together, where there are three stones that have the same color.
Of course it burdens them contestants, but they also can not complain because this is a decision of the referee.
The selection of the stone was then initiated. The contestants one by one took the stones from inside the cloth bag. No one has opened it yet. Wait for the command of the MC before they will see what color they get.
Taking the stone with anxious expectation. Do not want to take the wrong black stone and end up being qualified without a match. They had not seen the stone and were still in their fists.
"Okay, please open it, and look!" the MCs told the contestants to open their heads.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Some of them are immediately excited when getting colored stones in addition to black.
"Sir Ziyi, how is it?" ask Zhang Lan.
"Safe!"
"If you?" Zhang Lan turned to Zhang Meng.
"Of course get away. I won't just lose without fighting a bit. Zhang Meng bragged.
"Curtain!" Zhang Yin who saw Zhang Meng's behavior just threw a lazy face.
MC called his voice again. "To the contestant who got the black colored stone, please leave the arena stage.
One of the people not in the line of the participants walked irritably out of the arena. He seemed so unaccepting that he did not stop nagging
"Alright, because now there are 24 participants who will compete, then in a moment we will witness the struggle of these participants in finding a place as the heir of the God.
All the participants nodded at what the MC had said.
The match officially began. Zhang Meng, Zhang Lan is in one color of stone. It means that the two of them will compete together. The unlucky one who was their opponent was Mu Ai, who was the representative of the Demon race. He is also the descendant of the Demon King.
"Be careful... Your opponent is from the Devil race. Fear of violence will be very applied later," said Zhang Ziyi reminded two colleagues.
"We understand, big brother Ziyi."
"Sister Ziyi just calm down. As long as there is me, then he will be nothing compared to us.'' The second time Zhang Meng bragged about himself.
After that, they both went down above the arena, because the first match was the color obtained by the two men.
On the other side of the arena, a man was currently sitting watching the match, which had been going on since a minute ago.
Although his gaze was straight on the arena stage, but not the slightest match that was taking place caught his attention.
After a while, a man came to him. The man himself was about to whisper something to her
The man's face that sat down instantly deteriorated when he learned of the news brought by the man.
"What?!" Willing to be angry but in immediately position himself. Being in a crowd of people makes him have to be able to control his emotions, because it could be that it will make him embarrassed and become a conversation of people around him.
"How did they die?"
"Come, Your Majesty. But we suspect that the person who killed them is Zhang Ziyi" the man explained.
"Hmm, this child indeed cannot be underestimated," said the man who was none other than the King of Shang.

The game started 30 seconds ago. But there were no signs of movement there were three people currently standing on the stage. The three of them stared at each other.
Zhang Lan and Zhang Meng glanced for a moment, before both nodding and then advancing at high speed from different directions.
Running in Zigzag. Stop on both sides of Mu Ai. The two swords that had been coated by Qi energy and had made elemental changes were lifted then directed in one direction which was Mu Ai's body.
Whush!
Whush!
Mu Ai had no intention of dodging. He casually held the two swords with both hands. There was no visible change in energy while holding the two threads.
With just a slight movement of hands, it instantly flew Zhang Lan as well as Zhang Meng.
Both managed to land perfectly, although they had to be pushed a few steps. Zhang Lan cursed. He had not expected that the wealth of their opponents this time around would be so strong.
The two men attacked again from different directions. Attacking at blind and vital points, yet still Mu Ai's defense was so strong that it was extremely difficult to break through.
Both Zhang Lan, and Zhang Meng both increased the tempo of the speed of motion. Also the attacks they launched against Mu Ai's body were further hardened. Unfortunately it was still unable to force Mu Ai to use its power.
"Switch, you weakling!" Mu Ai said a little lazily. Then he grabbed Zhang Lan's hand as well as Zhang Meng's leg which was about to punch and kick him.
Mu Ai then banged the bodies of the two very hard. Not stopping and feeling unsatisfied, Mu Ai then flowed her fist with dark red energy, then punched Zhang Meng to make Zhang Meng bounce quickly hit the floor to make the floor crack. So did Zhang Lan. He also got a punch from her.
Mu Ai did not stop there. He even tortured Zhang Lan and Zhang Meng to the point that blood had flooded his second shirt.
The first match was over. Mu Ai went off the stage so casually. It was as if not thinking about how Zhang Lan and Zhang Meng were currently.
