Ultimate God of Swords - Chapter 421
Chapter 421 A Brutal Tournament
“Sir Xiao, what do you mean? Don’t tell me you’re not allowed to abstain in this competition?”
A person on the stage questioned Xiao Ziru.
“How can there be a competition that doesn’t allow you to abstain from voting? I have participated in many competitions, big and small, but I have never heard of such a rule!”
Another person stood up and shouted.
The contestants looked a little dissatisfied.
“I did not say that you are not allowed to abstain, but that you will be punished if you abstain!” Xiao Ziru said indifferently, “The competition is not a joke. We can’t fool around. This competition has invited so many adults to watch it, and there are countless cultivators from all directions watching you. Yet, you guys are using some three-legged cat kung fu on the stage. You can call this a competition, and you can call it a fight?” And if you abstain, then what does that count as? Are we all here to see you abstain? “?”
Xiao Ziru’s words left the two people on stage speechless. Not to mention them, even the contestants were like this.
You won’t abstain from the game? This was the first time many people had seen such a competition, but since they had come to compete, how could they abstain?
‘”Sir Xiao, isn’t your punishment too heavy? It’s fine if you cut off your arm. It’ll be fine if you use some ointment pills to regenerate, but I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to say that you want to knock out a rank one cultivator. I don’t know how much time it will take for a rank one Spirit Profound Yang existence to cultivate, but if it’s Profound Immortal Ling, then it will take even more time!”
A Spirit Cultivator on the contestant’s seat said in a low voice.
Even though the cultivation speed of the Ultimate Martial World was several times faster than that of the Tianwu Continent due to spiritual energy, for the people here, the cultivation of the first stage of the Spirit Profound Yang Stage would still take them several years.
‘”That’s right. We’re here to compete for the prizes. Since you guys want to set this rule, why didn’t you give us an explanation before we entered the competition? Why did you suddenly set the rules just before the competition? If that’s the case, then we’ll let the competition go!”
“That’s right, this rule is too unruly! We’ll strike!”
“Strike!!”
Some of the contestants who were opposed to this inexplicable rule stood up one after another and shouted loudly with excited expressions. Group C had the most people, about 200 people.
Unexpectedly, however, there was no movement in the audience seats. No one objected to Xiao Ziru’s rules, and no one came forward to criticize her, as if everyone had acquiesced. This made the two hundred odd people feel a little lonely and helpless.
‘”If you trash want to give up and refuse to accept punishment, then I’ll give you a piece of advice!” As long as you deliberately don’t resist during the match, let your opponent cut open your stomachs or break your legs, that’s fine! “As long as you lose, won’t you be fine?”
At this moment, a contemptuous voice sounded out from the crowd of Group B.
Everyone looked over and saw that this was a young man with snow-white hair. He was wearing a black robe, his eyes were scarlet red, and his diamond-horned face revealed a trace of a wicked smile. He fiercely swept his gaze over the members of Group C, holding a slightly curved red longsword and laughing, “It’s just a bunch of trash. If you guys were really afraid, wouldn’t it be better to scram back earlier?” Why would he be embarrassed here? And the two bastards on the stage! Quickly abstain from voting. Don’t waste our time. We’re not here to watch you guys play with three-legged cats! ”
“Bastard!!”
The two people on the stage were instantly enraged.
“Who are you? How dare you be so rude to me, Lord Zhang? Don’t think that you can be amazing in Group B!”
“This is simply too arrogant!!”
“Who exactly is this young man? I’ve never seen him before. Why is his tone so loud?”
“If you don’t give him some color to see, he really doesn’t care about the people of the world anymore!!”
Everyone in Group C was even more boisterous. All sorts of angry words came out. Most of them looked at this young man with resentment, wishing they could tear him into pieces.
“What? You guys are not convinced?”
The young man shouted at the four judges, “Judge, can I go on stage and fight?”
“It’s not your turn! Sit down and watch the battle. Wait for the drawing of lots.” Xiao Ziru said coldly.
“What a pity!”
The white-haired young man shrugged his shoulders and sat down without caring about the insults in his ears.
Su Yun glanced at the white-haired youth and his gaze landed on the blood-red longsword hanging behind him.
This sword was thinner than the Divine Mystic Scarlet Blood Sword. It had no hilt and did not emit much sword qi. However, it gave off an invisible sharpness and an indescribable chill.
“Now, any contestant who leaves the arena without permission will be punished with abstention. The punishment for abstention is the result of a unified discussion between the heads of the major chambers of commerce and the organizers of the competition. If you are dissatisfied with the method of abstention, you can deliberately lose the competition and leave the arena! If anyone has any meaning, you can directly bring it up to the lords above!”
Xiao Ziru said again, raising her voice by an octave and shouting, “Now, who else is meaningful?”
Directly to the lords above?
Many people looked up at the four pavilions and secretly swallowed their saliva.
How dare they? However, everyone instantly understood. The rules that Xiao Ziru had set were decided by the giants of the Chamber of Commerce. No wonder they had no human rights. The giants’ decisions were completely disregarding the feelings of these contestants or the audience.
“In this way, the competition will be fierce. Perhaps those giants want this kind of effect. A duel between the two of them is indeed not in line with the original purpose of the competition.” Su Yun whispered.
“But in this way, a weak existence like us would be miserable. We don’t know how many arms and legs we would have to lose.” Lu Zhanyuan cried.
“This is a battle-level competition. You can’t come here with a learning attitude. You have to treat this as a battlefield.”
“Then what should we do later? Are we really going all out against our opponents?”
“We have no other choice. Otherwise, if you are willing to start the game, you can break both your arms.”
‘”…”
“Does anyone have any objections?” Xiao Ziru scanned the seats around her and shouted, “Then, the race will continue!”
Roar! ! !
A series of excited roars erupted from the spectators’ seats, and the cries of the mountain howls and tsunamis rang out.
Quite a few contestants who had previously questioned him saw this, and seeing the expressions of the spectators on the scene, they could be considered to have completely understood what was going on.
Only real battles could attract people’s attention. These spectators simply wouldn’t watch a duel-level battle.
This was what the giants of the Chamber of Commerce wanted. They wanted to leave a deep impression on every spectator. One million profound coins and a large number of prizes were not wasted. In the end, businessmen were businessmen and did not do business at a loss.
“Damn it!”
Looking at the excited crowd, the two on the stage were at a loss for what to do.
“Brother Wang, what should we do now?”
“I don’t know either. Brother Zhang, are you and I really going to fight?”
“I don’t know either.”
The two of them were facing each other, but they didn’t move.
Seeing this, Zhu Wen immediately shouted, “Guys, there’s still an incense stick of time left until the end of the match. If you still don’t decide the outcome, both of you will be judged to have abstained! Attention!! Please pay attention!!”
“Me too!!”
The Spirit Cultivator who was called Brother Zhang gritted his teeth. Suddenly, his body moved, and without even saying a word, he directly punched the other party’s forehead.
“Brother Zhang, you?”
“Let’s fight! There’s no other choice!”
Brother Zhang roared.
“Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being heartless!!”
Brother Wang gritted his teeth and immediately took out his magic treasure. The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce battle. The ferocity of the battle was much higher than before.
When the audience saw this, they became even more excited.
The judges nodded their heads repeatedly and were very satisfied with a battle of this level.
However, seeing Zhang Spirit Cultivator smash his fist into Wang Spirit Cultivator’s forehead, the profound energy on his fist rushed into his head, causing him to be extremely weak.
“Good!! This punch is good!!”
“I should use a few more percent of my profound strength to directly open his head!”
“Wang Zhiwu, you should be motherf*cking angry!! This daddy bought you to win!”
“Motherf*cker, I bet 5,000 profound coins on you. If you lose, I’ll take your three souls and seven souls and refine them!”
“Don’t lose!!”
A shocking roar sounded from the audience seats.
Many contestants were stunned. No one expected the audience to react so fiercely.
“Damn it, you actually used us to open the market!”
At this moment, Lu Zhanyuan, who was beside him, said angrily.
“What’s the matter?”
Su Yun asked.
“Brother Su, look over there.” Lu Zhanyuan pointed to a grandstand beside the spectator stands and asked angrily, “I just realized that it seems to be the opening of the arena. They used every contestant on the stage as a bet. The arena is convenient for the dealers. The audience will bet on it to make a profit. I’m afraid that they will get the reward of one million profound coins back from there!”
“Oh? Is there such a thing?”
Su Yun was stunned.
“Indeed, there are no merchants who don’t cheat!!” Lu Zhanyuan clenched his fists and said, “No wonder we have to fight to the death. It turns out that it’s for their convenience.”
“Actually, we can’t think that way. Since we have this match, we should go all out. Perhaps we’ll get more.”
Su Yun laughed.
“Harvest?” Lu Zhanyuan shook his head, “It’s good not to be crippled, but to reap more…”
Bang! !
At this moment, an extremely loud sound of falling to the ground rang out from the arena.
The man surnamed Wang’s palm shattered the man surnamed Zhang’s chest. The man surnamed Zhang’s chest burst open, and his internal organs and bones were completely visible. He flew backwards and landed on the ground. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, he directly fell to the ground, unable to stand up. Obviously, he was unconscious.
Clang! Clang!
The referee rang the stop bell and the game was over.
Zhu Wen’s fat body hurriedly climbed onto the arena, inspected the unconscious man surnamed Zhang, and then excitedly shouted, “I declare that the winner of this competition, Wang Zhiwu!!”
“Good!!!!!”
“Good job, Wang Zhiwu!”
“Good fight!! Haha!”
Cheers immediately erupted from the spectators’ seats, but there were also countless curses mixed in.
“F*ck! Zhang Xing, you’re a fucking piece of trash!”
“This daddy really bet a thousand profound coins on the dog!”
“F*ck your trash! Die!”
The boiling sound continued, and the atmosphere was extremely high.
Zhang Xing’s condition was extremely miserable. Judging from his injuries, he was afraid that his cultivation would have to retreat a lot after healing. Wang Zhiwu was also not optimistic. His entire body was covered in colors, and one of his arms was also shrugged. The bones in that arm were completely broken, and it would take a long time for it to heal.
“The losers will withdraw. The winners will rest for a while and receive the healing services provided by the Chamber of Commerce. They will wait for the next match.”
Zhu Wen shouted loudly.
Very quickly, several men in white ran onto the stage and took Zhang Xing away. Wang Zhiwu also dragged his exhausted body down the arena and entered the resting area provided by the organizers to recover from his injuries.
“Alright! As the saying goes, if you want to strike while the iron is hot, our match naturally can’t be suspended just like that. Everyone, we need to start the next match now. However, this match is not just about drawing contestants from Group C, but also from Group B, C, and D! “Now, all the contestants, please be prepared. All the spectators present, please wipe your eyes!”
Zhu Wen shouted in an exaggerated manner, with his fat and pudgy expression. It was abnormally funny. Perhaps just his face alone was enough to sing a play.
“Then, who are the next two contestants? Please take a look…”
Zhu Wen shouted loudly, his voice raised by an octave in vain.
Huala.
Group B and Group D each erupted with a ray of light!
