"The third rule will give you a surprise."

Zhou Xuan laughed sinisterly.

He had his own plans, but on the side of Tun Jia Taishang and the Buddha Country Five Forms, there was only burning rage.

A colorful play, yet to begin, had already cost their people dearly with just two rules, causing deaths and losses in cultivation.

"If the death match begins, I must kill you."

Hulu Taoist glared at Zhou Xuan venomously and said fiercely, but "just killing" might not satisfy him.

"If Zhou Xuan falls into my hands, I will torture him well, cut off his hands and feet, use the iron hooks for dog meat to pierce his face, and drag him through the streets for three days."

He had already thought of every vicious tactic he could imagine in his life, just waiting to kill Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan ignored those hostile gazes, shaking his folded fan, chatting and laughing with Yun Ziliang and Li Changxun beside him.

As for the incense fire Taoists, whether Hulu Taishang or Medicine Buddha, neither could see him.

The holy eye in the sky began to blink again.

"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Without rules, how can it be called a battlefield?"

"The third rule: the Battlefield Stage will release the momentum of the stage, which everyone can absorb to enhance their battle power."

"May you all, under the blessing of the stage’s momentum, surpass your peak and unleash destruction within the battlefield."

Upon hearing the new rule,

Hulu Taoist was stunned; this rule not only didn’t consume their cultivation but even had a beneficial effect.

The stage provides strong momentum, giving everyone’s battle power a significant boost?

"What trick is Zhou Xuan playing?"

"Ha, this Zhou Xuan, has he gone mad? Everyone gets a boost, which means no one really gets a boost."

Purple Ox Taoist spoke with a bit of pride, suddenly realizing his own situation and added joyfully,

"Brother Gourd, Zhou Xuan played a foolish move; I just got my incense reduced to Fake Nine Incense, but now the momentum will make up for my incense,

I’m back to nine sticks of incense!"

This remark woke up Hulu Taoist from his dream, and he fiercely clenched his fist, saying angrily,

"This Zhou Xuan has deep scheming, coming up with such a rule. Purple Ox, don’t celebrate yet, the stage boosts everyone’s incense fire level, but the biggest beneficiary is still Zhou Xuan."

"How can it be, everyone can absorb the momentum, and the increase in everyone’s incense battle power is identical, why would Zhou Xuan benefit the most?"

"We are already above nine sticks of incense, so even with the boost, it won’t matter, but think about Zhou Xuan and Yun Ziliang... their incense battle power was already Sitting Eight and Looking Nine, just one step away from reaching nine sticks of incense."

"That’s Nine Incense Yun Ziliang and Nine Incense Zhou Xuan... not you, the dumb ox with Nine Incense!"

Hulu Taoist scolded, and Purple Ox Taoist’s face turned pale. Right, what does Nine Incense Zhou Xuan mean?

That’s invincible at the same level,

and what about Nine Incense Yun Ziliang? That was someone who once swept through the Taoist invincibly.

"I kind of want to protest against this stage rule."

Purple Ox Taoist’s words further infuriated Hulu Taoist—fool, this is their territory, their rules. You want to protest, who will you appeal to?

Do you think this is the Prefecture City’s horse race, which demands fairness?

Hulu Taoist figured it out, and Medicine Buddha naturally understood too. She immediately scolded Zhou Xuan: "Despicable Jing Country people, resorting to such tricks."

Zhou Xuan pointed to his temple, smiled, and said, "Pharmacist, we Jing Country people aren’t despicable, we’re just good at using our brains. You Buddha Country people are powerful, the musclemen of the Starry Sky, but... you’ve grown so much muscle that it’s squeezed your brains."

"..." Medicine Buddha.

Medicine Buddha was dissatisfied with this third rule. It seemed much fairer than the previous two but actually set the stage for Zhou Xuan’s invincibility tonight.

Yun Ziliang, Engineer, and Li Changxun were excited and impressed when Zhou Xuan announced the third rule.

Excited because, with this rule in place, Medicine Buddha and Hulu Taoist couldn’t turn the tables.

Impressed by how Zhou Xuan came up with such a rule?

This rule was indeed the first open strategy of the night.

"Mr., how did you come up with this rule?" Li Changxun asked.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Initially, we wanted to use rules to suppress everyone’s incense, allowing me to leverage my invincible trait at the same realm to dominate,

but there were two risks: first, if all levels were suppressed, I might not be able to invoke the ’Human World Play God,’

second, the Buddha Country people have no incense. If they’re not restricted by the rule and their level isn’t suppressed, we’d end up using Eight Incense against Nine-Turned Buddha Country people... we’d lose."

"So instead of suppressing levels, I decided to raise them. If everyone’s level rises, those originally at nine sticks of incense won’t find it significant, but if Lao Yun and I boost our incense battle power, then..."

Li Changxun clapped his hands and said, "Wise and mighty, Mr. I’m eager to cut down those Buddha Country and Tun Jia Taishang people."

"Perfect, the death match has started."

As Zhou Xuan finished speaking, blood started to flow from the eyes of countless spectators in the stage,
