“You’re asking for death!” Faced with Azure Fang’s blade, the man showed no signs of retreat. With a furious shout, he swung his own blade at Azure Fang. Having already investigated Azure Fang’s cultivation level, the man knew that Azure Fang was one level below him. Naturally, he felt no fear.
What he didn’t know was that Billy had already instructed everyone on the way to the arena today. During the competition, whether on or off the stage, they were to conceal their martial aura appropriately. The purpose was simple: to set a trap for their opponents! Otherwise, if the opponents discovered their true strength, anyone with lower cultivation levels would not dare to fight and would simply surrender. In that case, Billy’s goal would not be achieved.
In the next moment, their blades collided, and the man’s attack was instantly shattered. Meanwhile, Azure Fang’s blade continued its momentum, piercing through the man’s chest and passing through him. The man looked down at the wound on his chest, his mouth opened, and a large amount of blood gushed out. Then, his body fell apart in two pieces, splattering blood and flesh everywhere. His face displayed an expression of unimaginable pain.
Witnessing this scene on the stage, the surrounding spectators gasped in shock. Although killing was allowed on the stage, in general, unless for special reasons, participants would not really go for the kill. But now, as soon as Azure Fang stepped onto the stage, without any nonsense, he directly cut his opponent into two pieces. This was quite brutal.
“Damn it, you deserve to die!” A man from Xidengia shouted angrily from below the stage. As soon as his voice fell, he leaped onto the stage, holding a large blade in his hand. Approaching Azure Fang not far away, he gritted his teeth and said, “You dared to kill my brother, I will make sure you die a terrible death!” After speaking, he turned to the referee and shouted loudly, “Referee, I challenge him!”
“Is it your turn?” Azure Fang glanced at the waiting area below the stage and then calmly spoke to the man.
“I surrender!” A woman in the waiting area shouted loudly.
“I surrender too!” Another man with an Eastern appearance responded at the same time.
“I surrender as well!” A third person shouted.
“…”
In the next ten or so matches, without even stepping onto the stage, they voluntarily forfeited, allowing Azure Fang to gain more than ten points. Their cultivation levels were all at the War God-Emperor realm, and they had initially thought of trying their luck on the stage to earn a point or two for their country. However, after witnessing the scene just now, they no longer had the courage to go up. A life was taken with just one strike. This wasn’t a competition anymore; it was outright murder.
“Now, it’s my turn!” The man from Xidengia stared at Azure Fang and spoke coldly. After speaking, he imitated Azure Fang’s tone and looked at the referee, asking, “Can we begin?”
“Yes!” The referee nodded in response.
The man’s eyes narrowed, and he charged towards Azure Fang like a wild beast. His wrist continuously turned, and sharp blade glimmers flashed out like lightning. He had decent skills, two cultivation levels higher than the previous man, already at the First-rank Sovereign realm. He had already investigated Azure Fang’s cultivation level, but he couldn’t sense any fluctuation in his aura. However, he didn’t believe that Azure Fang’s skills were far superior to his own. He was certain that Azure Fang was suppressing his aura with a technique. This kind of thing was common in previous competitions. Many people liked to conceal their true strength, so it wasn’t anything surprising.
“Go join your brother!” Azure Fang’s eyes narrowed, taking a few big steps forward before swiftly slashing out an arc-shaped blade gleam.
“You underestimate me, go to hell…” The man roared, meeting the blade gleam head-on.
Just as he was about to finish speaking, his face stiffened. Like his younger brother, his blade was shattered by Azure Fang’s attack, instantly crumbling. Before he could fully react, a razor-sharp blade gleam flashed past his neck, sending his head flying into the air, blood gushing out like a fountain. He could even hear the sound of his body crashing heavily onto the stage.
The area around the stage immediately fell into a brief silence, as everyone stared in shock at the direction of the stage.
That was still a terrifying strike.
“Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?” Azure Fang looked towards the waiting area and spoke in a low voice.
“I surrender!”
“I surrender too!”
“So do I!”
“…”
This time, there were even more people surrendering than before, with about twenty to thirty people shouting out.
“Referee, I request a temporary ceasefire!” Azure Fang knew that no one dared to come up and face death for now. He looked towards the referee and then walked down from the stage. According to the rules of the competition, when there were no challengers, the champion could request a temporary ceasefire and come back to compete another time.
After Azure Fang walked down from the stage, he turned and headed towards Arena 5. This was their prearranged plan. They would kill a few people on one stage and then move to another stage to continue until they encountered opponents stronger than them. Similar scenes unfolded on the other stages one after another. In no time, the participants from the Western countries on all the stages were being killed by the people from Glavale and Aquilandia.
Just then, a muffled sound came from Arena 8. A woman from Northfortia, who was fighting against Rakshasa, was also cut into two pieces by a sword, blood splattering and flesh mangled.
“Dana!” A painful cry rang out from the waiting area.
As soon as the voice fell, a man from Northfortia leaped onto the stage, his face turning pale, his eyes burning with anger as he stared at Rakshasa.
“How dare you kill Dana! I promise you, I will tear your body into a thousand pieces!”
“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you won’t have that chance!” Rakshasa smiled faintly. Then, she shouted loudly towards the referee, “Referee, I surrender!”
After speaking, she turned and walked down from the stage.
She had already investigated the opponent’s cultivation level and knew that he was one and a half levels higher than her, already at the mid-stage of the second rank. Clearly, it was not a fight she could handle. Ever since she cultivated Heart Sutra of the Azure Void, her spiritual power had increased by a whole level in a short period of time. As long as the opponent’s skills were not more than two levels higher than hers, she could easily sense their cultivation level.
“Want to leave? It’s not that easy, leave your life behind for me!” Just as Rakshasa walked down from the stage, the man raised his hand and sent a palm strike towards her.
