Chapter 72: Life and Death Arena
In a room in Sin City.
A man roared and smashed the wall in front of him with one punch.
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
"With so many people, they can't even catch a person who can't even reach the third level. How can I trust these people?"
The person standing behind him glanced at the broken wall, leaned forward and asked:
"Master, do we still need to go ahead with tomorrow's plan?"
"The plan is proceeding as usual. I have been planning for this day for three years. How can I just give up like that?"
"Go down and get ready."
"Yes, Master!"
…
August 15, 999 in the Dragon Kingdom calendar.
Today is the day for the annual election of the city lord of Sin City.
During this three-day period, no one needs to pay temporary residence fee.
Without the pressure of money, fewer people have gone out of town to kill monsters in the past two days.
Because most people went to the Sin City Arena to watch the fight.
All the major casinos in Sin City also opened at this time, and the odds for the three major forces were 1 to 2.
It depends on whether the gamblers in the city dare to gamble.
"Does anyone know who the three major forces have invited to participate?"
Without understanding the specific situation, some people are still waiting and watching.
"Hey, listen to me, go all in on the Fiery Gang!"
"Why? Tell me."
"The Fiery Gang has hired an outsider this time, named Tie Kuang."
"Tie Kuang!? The Fiery Gang actually invited him?"
Someone exclaimed, obviously knowing Tie Kuang's reputation.
"Yes, you must be familiar with Tie Kuang's name. Three years ago, he had a conflict with the Lord of Taihu City and directly massacred the Lord's family of 32 people."
"He was subsequently wanted by the Dragon Kingdom, and he even killed dozens of pursuers while fleeing."
“Then he disappeared until now.”
After listening, everyone nodded and said:
"I didn't expect that it was the leader of the Fiery Gang who saved him. It seems that this time the Fiery Gang is more likely to take control of Sin City."
"Then we'll all bet on the Fiery Gang!"
“Wait!”
Someone shook his head and said, "Tie Kuang is nothing, he just killed a small city lord who was quite powerful."
"Do you know who the Qinglong Society invited?"
"Oh? Could it be that the person Qinglonghui invited this time is even more powerful than Tie Kuang?"
"Heh, he's more than amazing. Have you ever heard of the name Blood-Cloaked Zhu Huang?"
"Bloody Zhu Huang? Is he the peerless ruthless man who kills people with blood?"
"I heard that he slaughtered thousands of people in one night, and his white clothes were dyed red with blood!"
"That's right. Others don't want to get their clothes stained with blood after killing someone, but Zhu Huang is different. He likes to have other people's blood spilled on his clothes."
"It is said that he enjoys it."
"Longguo has been looking for him for more than ten years, but has not yet arrested him."
"What do you think, how is he better than Tie Kuang?"
Hearing this, everyone hesitated.
"I still choose Tie Kuang. It is said that the Liehuo Gang has made a set of armor made of black gold for Tie Kuang.
It will be difficult for Zhu Huang to break his black gold armor! "
"Mysterious gold? Is that true? Each small piece of mysterious gold is worth millions. How much does a set of armor cost?"
The metals used to make equipment are divided into grades: divine gold, mysterious gold, black gold and ordinary metals.
The walls of Sin City are built with black gold.
The equipment made of black gold is so good that it is comparable to legendary equipment.
Even ordinary ones are equivalent to epic equipment.
A set of equipment made of black gold must be more powerful than ordinary legendary equipment.
Tie Kuang's strength plus the equipment bonus made many people choose to buy Liehuo to help win.
"I believe in Tie Kuang, I bet on the Liehuo Gang to win!"
Of course, there are also people who believe in Zhu Huang's hard power.
"Humph, I believe in Zhu Huang, I bet Qinglong will win!"
The two groups of people bought their own things, and only a few people were puzzled:
"Have you forgotten Chaotian Pavilion?"
"Forget about Chaotian Pavilion. They hadn't found the right person until yesterday."
"Didn't they say that someone saved their young master and has become Chaotian Pavilion's foreign aid this time?"
"Haha, it's just a last-minute effort. Do you think that someone randomly picked by Chaotian Pavilion can be a match for Tie Kuang and Zhu Huang?"
"I think Chaotian Pavilion has given up the fight for the city lord this time."
"That makes sense. I also bet on the Fiery Gang to win."
…
The Sin City Arena looks similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum.
The entire fighting arena is circular and open-air, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch the fight at the same time.
In the center of the fighting arena is a fighting ring made of black gold, and you can still vaguely see some indelible bloodstains on it.
The entrance ticket to the fighting arena is one million per ticket.
Although the price is high, tens of thousands of seats are still full.
The president of the Qinglong Society, Dongfang Qinglong, was the Lord of Sin City last year.
At this moment, he was standing on the stage and explaining the rules of the competition to everyone present.
"In this competition, each of the three parties will send ten people to challenge the other party's contestants in turns!"
" The rules are very simple. Whoever stands till the end is the final winner!"
"The final winner will be the ruler of Sin City for the next year."
After Dongfang Qinglong finished speaking, the whole audience instantly boiled over.
"This year it's actually a life and death competition!"
"This ticket is worth the money. I want to see a river of blood!"
These people are all desperate criminals who can't wait to see the people from the three major forces fighting to the death.
They don't care who is who. The more intense the game, the more excited they are.
"What is the life and death arena?"
Someone who had just entered Sin City asked.
"The life and death arena, as the name suggests, means that those who enter it will either stay alive and accept the challenges of the other two forces in turn."
"Either you die in the ring, this is a fight to the death!"
"Wouldn't the person who goes up first be at a disadvantage?"
"Haha, who cares if you suffer any loss or not? You have to work hard for the three major forces to get better living conditions."
"You must be prepared to die at any time."
"Of course, there are also cannon fodders who are forced to go up. They have leverage or their relatives are in the hands of the three major forces, so they have to go up even if they don't want to."
"I didn't expect it to be a life-and-death competition this year. I guess some of the people invited by the three major forces have already started to regret it!"
"I heard that both the Azure Dragon Society and the Fiery Fire Gang invited a ruthless person to perform as the finale."
“This year’s competition is definitely more exciting than previous years!”
When the crowd gradually quieted down, Dongfang Qinglong checked the time and said loudly:
"The game starts now!"
Dongfang Qinglong glanced at one of his team members, then left the arena and walked back to his seat.
Last year, the Azure Dragon Society took control of Sin City, so the first person to appear was also from the Azure Dragon Society.
Everyone looked at the Qinglong Society's team, wanting to see which unlucky guy would be the first to go on stage.
A middle-aged man with an evil look stepped into the ring holding a sword.
Dressed in white, he clasped his fists around him, then smiled evilly and said:
"I am Zhu Huang, the first to challenge you all. I hope that my clothes today can be the color I like."
