Chapter 316 Going to War
The people in the other world began to become hostile, and the human side was not far behind.
Both sides are ready to fight, and the war is about to break out.
However, because the old man and Zhao Zongyang had not spoken yet, people on both sides still maintained some restraint.
The old man stared at Zhao Zongyang closely, and the weapon in his hand was raised.
Obviously, if anyone dared to interfere with the fight between the two men on the field, he would really order an attack.
Zhao Zongyang frowned and raised his right hand, signaling everyone not to act impulsively.
The main force did not take action for the time being, but the fight between the two people on the field continued.
"ah……"
"Um……"
A scream and a groan sounded almost at the same time. The groan came from He Wu, while the scream came from his opponent.
Just as the two large armies began to confront each other, the battle situation between He Wu and his companions also changed.
At the beginning, He Wu revealed a flaw, and then his opponent seized the opportunity.
But as things developed, everyone found that things were not that simple.
He Wu did reveal a huge flaw just now, but he revealed this flaw on purpose.
So, when his opponent attacked him, He Wu also used his back-up plan.
Although he was prepared, his opponent was slightly stronger than him after all.
Because he was prepared, the mace did not hit He Wu's head, but it hit his shoulder.
He Wu was hit by the mace and his whole body was knocked down.
However, this was exactly the opportunity he was looking for. He Wu swung the weapon in his hand horizontally, leaving a deep cut on the opponent's stomach.
The knife just now cut through the opponent's belly, and even the internal organs could be seen.
The opponent was seriously injured, and He Wu himself was not feeling well either.
His left shoulder was hit by the mace, and the entire shoulder was a bloody mess.
His left hand rested weakly on his shoulder. The blow just now not only broke the skin on his shoulder, but also shattered many of the bones inside.
In the fight just now, both of them could be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Despite suffering such serious injuries, the two men seemed to see nothing at all and moved their bodies and collided with each other again.
Blood splattered everywhere, bones broke into pieces, and internal organs flowed out of the body.
The fight in front of them was fierce. Neither of them cared about their own injuries. All they cared about was how to cause more damage to the opponent.
"How about this round being a draw?"
He Wu's condition is already very bad. If the fight continues, even if he wins, it will end in a mutual destruction.
Therefore, Zhao Zongyang spoke up to end the fight between the two.
Zhao Zongyang did not intervene, as he had already figured one thing out.
The old man on the opposite side really doesn't want to start a large-scale war, and this game is indeed a stepping stone.
If humans could win this game, there was a 90 percent chance that the old man would order a retreat.
The old man is only a second elder, and above him there are the chief elder, the leader and other people of higher status.
Therefore, he had to give an explanation for the retreat of the human army, and a fair duel game was the explanation he came up with.
Our team was weaker and we were unable to win the one-on-one game.
So, since they were lagging behind in both strength and morale, it was understandable that they retreated.
But if the duel game is won, then the old man must order everyone to go to war.
Because if he doesn't go to war, he will have no way to explain to higher-ups.
In other words, if you want to avoid this big war, you must win this one-on-one game.
He Wu is very young, and his future is far more than just a fourth-rank martial arts master.
But Zhao Zongyang cannot directly rescue him now, because destroying the fairness of the duel game means destroying the old man's step stone.
With no way out, war became his only option.
"There is no such thing as a draw between you and me. The only thing we can do is to kill each other."
The old man did not agree with Zhao Zongyang's suggestion and insisted on ending the battle with the death of one side.
"Haha! You're dead!"
Following a loud and arrogant laugh, He Wu was knocked to the ground by a stick.
After all, He Wu was still weaker than his opponent, so the battle ended with his defeat.
He Wu's body did not fall to the ground because Zhao Zongyang used his mental power to pull him up.
He Wu was no longer breathing, and his entire body was covered with scars. He was still fighting until the last moment of his life.
"Brother, I will definitely avenge you."
"Brother He, go with peace of mind. I will definitely kill that bastard on the other side to commemorate you."
…
When He Wu's friends took the body from Zhao Zongyang, their eyes were red.
Although He Wu was defeated, he really tried his best.
"Hahaha……"
The winner was a fourth-rank martial arts master from another world, but he did not enjoy the joy of victory either.
He also had several fatal wounds on his body, especially the one on his stomach. Due to the fierce battle, many of his internal organs fell out.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and his life came to an end.
The old man also used his mental power to stop the falling corpse.
"The Western Barbarians have made great contributions in killing the enemy and will be buried with honor. Their descendants will be rewarded with resources that can help them cultivate to the fifth-grade martial arts master."
"In addition, I will accept one of his direct descendants as my apprentice and promise to teach him carefully."
Perhaps in order to boost morale, the old man shouted these words loudly behind him.
"Principal Zhao, we have one win and one loss so far. For the next game, please send someone first."
Zhao Zongyang did not argue with the old man. He Wu was indeed going to lose first.
Although it is heartbreaking to see He Wu die, the game has to go on in order to avoid a war.
Looking behind him, Zhao Zongyang frowned deeply.
After two matches, one win and one loss, a fifth-rank martial arts master would be sent to the next match.
There was a gap in the number of fifth-grade martial masters in the crowd behind him. Their number was very small, with only three people in total.
After looking at the three people carefully, Zhao Zongyang finally stopped his gaze on Wang Tianyu.
Seeing the inquiry in Zhao Zongyang's eyes, Wang Tianyu nodded vigorously.
Looking at He Wu's appearance, Wang Tianyu's heart was also burning with anger.
He wanted to vent his anger right now, and fighting was the best way to do it.
"Wang Tianyu, you will fight in this match."
Although he was a little worried , Zhao Zongyang still mentioned Wang Tianyu's name.
There were only three Wu Zongs in the crowd, one of whom was an "old man" who had broken through to the fifth level a long time ago, and the other two were "newcomers" who had just broken through to the fifth level.
Logically speaking, the old man who has been breaking through for a longer time is the most suitable candidate to fight.
But this old man was injured in the previous battle, and his injuries have not yet fully recovered. At this moment, his strength is only at the beginning of the fifth level or even the peak of the fourth level.
Therefore, the "old man" is not so suitable for fighting at the moment.
Although the other person achieved a breakthrough last month, his combat effectiveness is far inferior to Wang Tianyu.
Wang Tianyu has a record of killing fifth-grade warriors, and for the other person, it was already very good to be able to entangle a fifth-grade warrior.
Therefore, at this moment, Wang Tianyu became the most suitable target for the fight.
