Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 34: A tiger lies on a desolate hill. Who dares to offend?
"let's start."
After Master Chen bowed, he turned around, took a step, and flew two meters across like a big bird. After a few jumps, he arrived at the middle stage.
His majestic gaze swept over everyone.
"I've told you the rules. Who's going to defend the ring now?"
For a moment, Ma Changan and Tu Feng both became hesitant. In a round-robin match, they didn't have the confidence to defend the title until the end.
"I come."
A clear voice rang out among the crowd.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and a look of understanding appeared on their faces.
Xu Rui.
The strongest among all the martial artists. Since he entered here half a year ago, no one has ever defeated him in the ring challenge.
If anyone can successfully defend the title, it must be him.
Surrounded by dozens of gazes, Xu Rui walked to the front like a king, following the passage that automatically separated the crowd.
"Teacher, I will defend the ring."
Looking at this disciple whom he valued the most and taught with all his heart over the past year or so, Master Chen showed a gratified smile on his face.
After all, they are his disciples. If no one dares to come up, it would undoubtedly be a slap in his face.
"careful."
After nodding affirmatively, he walked to the edge of the central brick and stone arena, pressed lightly on the rough bluestone with his right hand, and then rose from the ground and landed on the arena.
The whole process was easy and carefree, highlighting his extremely high level of martial arts skills.
Chen Yuntian's eyes lit up, "Who is this kid?"
We are all smart people and can tell whether a person is strong or weak just by his gestures.
"This man is called Xu Rui. He has a very high level of comprehension and has made rapid progress in martial arts. In just over a year, he has become the strongest among them all." Chen Yulou said.
There was admiration in his eyes; this was the talent he valued most.
"Young Captain, as far as I know, the origins of Xu Rui have never been clearly investigated. What if he is a spy planted by other forces in our Xiling..." Bai Wushuang didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already very clear.
"I don't think any force has the courage to use such a talented person as a spy. Besides, I also have the means to make him work for me. Master Bai is overthinking."
Having hit a snag, Bai Wushuang just smiled and said nothing more.
Xu Rui occupied one ring, and the other two were still empty.
“Who else is going to take the stage?”
"I come."
Tu Feng came out.
At this moment, everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Ma Changan.
Among all the martial artists, Xu Rui, Ma Changan and Tu Feng are recognized as the strongest. Now two of them have gone up, and he is the only one missing.
Ma Changan, who originally had no plan to go up now, noticed everyone's gaze and had to bite the bullet and walk to the right side of the stage.
As the saying goes, it’s better to lose the battle than the person.
So many high-ranking members of the gang, including his father, were watching on the stage. If he backed down, he would lose face. How could he convince others without prestige?
"Three champions are already in place, who wants to challenge?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been together for a long time and knew the strength of the three men very well. The first person to go up would definitely be beaten.
Unless you are stupid, no one wants to be the first to stand out.
Looking at the quiet crowd, Master Chen frowned.
When the time came, the young leader changed the original competition procedure, which not only increased the difficulty and uncertainty, but also exposed loopholes, just like now.
No one wanted to be the first to go on stage.
But if we allow the situation to remain deadlocked, the general manager and his men will become the laughing stock of the people.
His old face doesn't matter, but if he leaves a bad impression, the blood pattern secret technique and demon blood will probably be ruined.
Just as he was thinking about how to break the deadlock.
"teacher?"
Looking at Master Chen who turned around.
"Since they don't dare to come up one-on-one, let's go together."
"you sure?"
"Sure."
Xu Rui smiled confidently.
When he stood on the ring, he was bound to attract the attention of the entire Xiangling high-level. In this case, he might as well show his strength.
Only in this way can we gain more resources within Xiangling and help ourselves continue to make breakthroughs.
As for staying in hiding and developing slowly, it's not that he doesn't want to, but who knows when the plot of Pingshan will start? When encountering danger, without strength, the only thing left is death.
He looked at Xu Rui deeply , feeling a deep sense of relief and pride in his heart. He believed that Xu Rui was indeed a disciple whom he valued and cultivated with all his heart. He was a first-class person in both strength and courage.
"You all heard it. Who plans to challenge Xu Rui together?" Master Chen said in a loud voice.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, of course something so shameless was... great!
"I."
"I do!"...
They are all filthy bastards who come from the lowest class. After years of wandering around the world, their biggest experience is that "if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are either a fool or an idiot."
Soon, two people jumped onto the ring. One of them was about the same height as Xu Rui, with a strong physique and strong muscles.
The other one was thinner , but had a slender figure and a sharp gaze, and it was obvious that he was not an easy person to deal with.
"You two?"
After more than a year of getting along, everyone knows each other.
"Hehe, Boss Xu. I, Cao Liu, admire your courage very much, but this time we two brothers will not show mercy."
"Come on, let me see what you can do."
Xu Rui waved his hand and just stood there, with flaws all over his body.
But Cao Liu did not dare to be careless. This was a ruthless man who left many legends in the martial arts field. If the two of them had not joined forces, he would never dare to pull the tiger's whiskers lightly.
"Lao Niu, you go up and I go down. Three, two, one, we go together."
Niu Li nodded with a serious look on his face.
"It's coming. Three...!"
Cao Liu shouted loudly, and the two men, one on the left and one on the right, one up and one down, one's punch was as heavy as a mountain and powerful; the other's palm was clear and light, like wind and lightning.
They cooperate with each other very skillfully.
Xu Rui smiled, his expression never changing.
Cao Liu and Niu Li have been keeping each other company since the first day they came here. Their strength is considered to be in the upper middle level among all the martial artists, not too outstanding.
But when the two of them joined forces and cooperated with each other, they were extremely powerful, and even Ma Changan had suffered at their hands.
"Playing tricks also requires strength, and you are far behind."
Bang!
Before everyone could see clearly, Cao Liu and Niu Li had already flown out of the ring and rolled to the ground in a mess.
The dust was flying everywhere and it was difficult to get up for a while.
There was an instant uproar in the audience.
Ma Changan, Tu Feng, Bai Jiang and others instantly widened their eyes.
They knew the strength of Cao Liu and Niuliu's cooperation , but they were defeated so easily...
Staring at the powerful figure standing in the center of the ring, the gap between them and Xu Rui was greater than expected.
"This boy's name is Xu Rui, right?" Chen Yuntian asked with interest.
"yes."
"He is indeed a good fighter. It seems that his bones have been strengthened. The fourth brother really has a good way of teaching."
Chen Yulou also had a smile on his face.
The Blood Hall is just being built, so the more capable disciples we have, the better.
