C252 Determining life and death
The Bloodbath Arena had long since been surrounded to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through. It was so dark that one could not see the end of it.
"This kind of grand occasion hasn't happened in decades, right?"
Near the Martial Arts Battlestage, an old shop owner with a head full of white hair was standing at the door and looking towards the distance with a comical expression.
"Get out of the way, all of you! Get out of the way!"
Two hours later, a cold and domineering voice rang out.
The crowd all looked over. They saw dozens of warriors approaching in a formidable array. Every one of them had a murderous intent on them, and they came with ill intentions.
"It's the Zhou Family, the Zhou Family people, the person in there is their Patriarch Mo Cheng, although his cultivation is not high, he is good at management, all these warriors are also helpers that they bought from the Primeval Stone s on the black market."
"Boom boom boom!"
The group of people stomped on the ground with the intention of creating a show of strength.
The front row of martial artists automatically stepped aside to make room for the Mo Clan.
Looking at Chu Chen on the stage, Mo Cheng took two steps forward. Without saying a word, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Kill my beloved son, Mo Zhong. If I don't kill you today, this old man's surname is not Mo."
However, he did not immediately make his move, the people from the Zhou Family had not arrived yet, and since this fellow had said such arrogant words, he must have been holding himself back, so he might have fallen into the trap.
As for Chu Chen, when he saw the arrival of the Mo family, he merely lifted his eyes and coldly swept them across before closing them again, as though he was waiting for the arrival of Zhou Family.
This attitude caused Mo Cheng's eyes to turn cold, while the hearts of the crowd trembled slightly.
After all, the Mo Clan was a clan. Even though it belonged to a third-rate power within the Free City, the more than thirty warriors that they had brought along was an indisputable fact. This was their foundation.
But when Chu Chen faced with the background of the Mo family, he actually only swept a cold glance at them, and appeared to not care at all.
"Brat, you're truly arrogant. I'll see how you die later on." Mo Cheng harrumphed coldly in his heart, and his expression was as calm as water.
Not long after, people from the Zhou Family finally arrived. The number of people was twice that of the Mo Clan, and it reached seventy to eighty.
The two great families had gathered more than a hundred people, and all of these forces were aimed at Chu Chen.
The crowd couldn't help but guess, could he really hold on?
Amongst these people, many of them had terrifying Spiritual Martial Stage, and a fair amount of them were at the peak of the Bloody Martial Stage. But Chu Chen said that he would challenge all the practitioners below the Fifth Level of Spiritual Martial Stage of the two great families, so based on his analysis, his cultivation should be around the third stage.
However, even if only a few of them could be his opponent in a one on one battle, the consumption of elemental energy from so many of them in a revolving battle was not something that an ordinary person could handle.
Taking all these into consideration, in this battle, Chu Chen was in grave danger, he might even die.
"Chu Chen, you have the guts to challenge my Zhou Family and the Mo Family. How do you want to duel them?" Zhou Tianxiong walked forward, to the bottom of the stage, and asked with cold eyes.
"Since you're already here, let me be more clear with you." Chu Chen finished his cultivation and opened his eyes.
"A life and death duel."
When these words were spoken, all the hundreds of thousands of candidates in every direction began to boil in excitement.
This life and death duel wasn't just a simple spar. Although some people had long guessed it, at this moment, it sounded like an incomparably shocking event.
He, Chu Chen, had only been in the early stages of the Spiritual Martial Stage yet he had challenged all the warriors below the Fifth Level of Spiritual Martial Stage of the two great families, and he even disregarded life and death.
The crowd felt their hearts tremble as they stuttered. This fellow had always been so crazy. He was about to cause a huge commotion.
"A life and death duel. Fine, this is what you said. I, Zhou Tianxiong, promise it."
Chu Chen's words were exactly what he wanted. The question he asked just now was for him to say it out loud so everyone could hear him as a witness.
As long as the life and death duel was announced, the candidates would be sent up one by one.
"Ten, twenty, even if fifty people can't defeat you, today I have brought seventy-six people with me, you will still die from the energy consumption."
Zhou Tianxiong schemed and schemed ruthlessly in his heart.
As long as Chu Chen could die, losing dozens of warriors was nothing.
Even if I die, I don't have anything to worry about. At worst, I can just recruit another batch in the next few years.
The only loss was only the foundation of his Zhou Family.
"I agree to your life and death duel." Mo Cheng added.
He had to follow Zhou Tianxiong's footsteps, otherwise, this Mo Clan, in terms of Free City, would really not count for much.
The whole clan only had thirty-four warriors, and thirty of them were brought along. There were still more than ten people left to guard the house, and there were more than a hundred Zhou Family warriors.
From this, one could see the gap between them.
Not only that, there were also a lot of areas in the Zhou Family. In the Free City, there were many places, and the Martial Blooded Battlestage's Lifestyle Battlestage was the most famous of them all.
The two great families agreeing was within Chu Chen's expectations, because he was very clear just how much Zhou Tianxiong wished for him to die.
To him, this duel was undoubtedly an opportunity. He would only accept it but not make a decision. Moreover, it was a fair and square battle to kill him so there was no need to be afraid of Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
With so many people watching, this was a weakness. Even if Myriad Treasures Pavilion were to make a move, this weakness could protect their lives.
Zhou Tianxiong did not know, Mo Cheng did not know either. The mental activities of the two were completely controlled by Chu Chen at this moment, the other party thought that they could plot against Chu Chen, but they did not know that they had actually schemed against each other.
"Cut the crap, let's fight!" Chu Chen said coldly.
Even though he said those words, he still sat there cross-legged. He was extremely calm and collected, and his body emitted a trace of a domineering aura.
He stood there like a cloud in the sky.
"Mo Cheng, I know you also want to kill this brat. I'll give you the chance to do so now." Zhou Tianxiong looked at him and suddenly said.
Mo Cheng's face froze, and then his eyes lit up, Zhou Tianxiong was afraid that he had fallen into a trap, and actually used the Mo family as a target, allowing him to send people out to test Chu Chen's strength, his heart was immediately filled with dissatisfaction.
But he did not dare say anything, the two great families were currently on the same side. If it was Zhou Tianxiong, the old cunning fox, who suddenly ignored him, the one who would be at a disadvantage would be himself instead.
Then, he said coldly, "In that case, I won't be polite."
"Zhang Qing!"
With a loud roar, a strong warrior rushed out of the Mo Clan camp, with a cultivation base at Spiritual Martial Stage level 2.
"Brat, come and die." Zhang Qing leapt onto the battle stage, moving his palms as they emitted creaking sounds.
His body was like that of a lion, slightly bent forward, ready to strike.
Just the start, he had already sent out a practitioner at the second level of Spiritual Martial Stage. Mo Cheng had other intentions, with this cultivation, he was not weak, and it would be best if he could kill Chu Chen.
If they couldn't, they could also investigate the other party's background. This would be of great help in selecting the next contestants.
"One move."
Facing the other party, Chu Chen said indifferently.
"What, one move? This is a warrior of the second level of the Spiritual Martial Stage, he actually said that he could defeat him in one move, how is this possible? "
Chu Chen's words were undoubtedly shocking, causing the spectating crowd to immediately be stunned, and the hundreds of thousands of spectators all revealed surprised and suspicious expressions.
It had only been half a year since the battle at Qingcheng Island. Could it be that his cultivation had grown so much? No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't think of any possibility.
"What an arrogant guy. You want to defeat me with a single strike? Your mouth is filled with dung. Regardless of life or death, watch as I kill you."
The Mo Family martial practitioner named Zhang Qing wore an angry look on his face.
Although he was just a lackey, but with his cultivation in the Mo family, he was still favored by the Mo family. Otherwise, how would he be able to be the first to come out, and facing Chu Chen's words, he felt that he was being looked down upon, killing intent flickering in his eyes.
Then, he walked to the wall of the Life and Death question and quickly wrote down his name, Zhang Qing.
The name of the question would determine life and death.
