Chapter 588 156: 2 vs 9 (4,100 Words)
So making Tang Yue eat this move was indeed the best choice.
Because even if his age suddenly increased from 70 to 120, Tang Yue's body still remained in the category of "young old age." After all, people in this era generally live over two hundred years, and Tang Yue, who had undergone genetic engineering, has a lifespan close to 300 years.
His strength wouldn't decline much; it's just his lifespan shortened by 50 years.
So, in the end, under Tang Yue's relentless barrage of heavy punches, Lu Jiufeng's injuries kept accumulating.
He finally realized that things were not going well, and wanted to escape, but now trying to leave was too late...
Life is repaid with life; Tang Yue didn't give him a chance to flee. With a full-power heavy punch, this prodigy of the Lu Family couldn't avoid it and was directly hit through the heart.
The outcome was decided.
The face of the middle-aged Main Combatant looked somewhat unpleasant.
In his plan, since Colonel Grigory, this cyborg, could take down three in a row, the genius from the Lu Family, Lu Jiufeng, should also be able to take down three, sending away the three military Warriors.
After all, even though Lu Jiufeng's rank wasn't high, his trump cards were strong, and he possessed various unique abilities. Normally, he should have no problem overcoming three soldiers who aren't even considered Apprentice Death Gods.
But now, not only did he fail to break through, but he also lost his life.
"We can't keep probing."
The middle-aged Main Combatant glanced at the cards in his hand and, steeling his resolve, drew a shimmering character card from it and placed it in front of him.
Clearly, he was getting serious.
On Mokaka's side, following Tang Yue's wishes, they didn't hold back on choosing participants, and Tang Yue continued to battle.
His internal Nanometer Subcutaneous Armor, being an independent prosthetic body, was banned in the Duel Arena. Although it wasn't directly stripped from his body, it did indeed lose its function and couldn't be activated anymore.
But the General wasn't bothered.
He took off his military jacket, revealing another quasi-military armor hidden under his coat.
It turns out, besides the nanometer subcutaneous armor, he also had an external type single soldier armor!
This was indeed armed to the teeth.
...
In the sixth round, the middle-aged Main Combatant dispatched his Tier Four Apprentice Death God for the first time.
The Tributor from the Collection Clan — Traveling the World.
This person was from the Doctoral Sequence, over a hundred years old, with talent not particularly special, purely attaining Tier Four through accumulated tenure.
But this also gave him considerable combat experience. In a way, he and Tang Yue seemed like the same type of person.
Their battle was intense, Traveling the World's Doctoral Sequence allowed him to possess several abilities to remotely control energy for attacks. But Tang Yue's quasi-military mecha was no joke; in its arsenal, there was even a miniature nuclear fusion device capable of firing small tactical nuclear missiles...
Hence, after some fighting, Traveling the World decided not to continue.
He was merely an "honored guest elder" of several clans, not a formal member of nobility. Helping to hold the fort and cheer was already a generous display of loyalty.
A person this shrewd wouldn't sell his life to the nobility.
So in the end, seeing victory hard to achieve and facing the risk of injury or even death, Traveling the World chose to take a heavy punch from Tang Yue, and his body flew out in an exaggerated pose, landing outside the arena.
This round, Tang Yue won again.
The face of the middle-aged man gradually darkened and he looked somewhat dissatisfied at Traveling the World, but the latter just laughed and then promptly severed communication with the middle-aged man, disappearing into the crowd.
A monthly salary of just tens of thousands—he wouldn't bother risking his life!
Tang Yue won two consecutive matches again.
However, after Traveling the World left, he couldn't maintain the fight anymore and had to retreat in dismay.
He was, after all, only flesh and blood, his equipment was the only reason he could barely contend against the Apprentice Death God.
Now, both pieces of his equipment were sealed by the Supreme Heaven Purification Field; he wanted to help but was powerless.
Yet Mokaka was still grateful to him.
Tang Yue and his two subordinate guards' intervention had indeed alleviated the immediate crisis for their team.
Three soldiers took down six of their Warriors, including two Tier Three Apprentice Death Gods and one Tier Four Apprentice Death God.
From any perspective, this achievement was impeccable.
The soldiers completed their mission.
Next up is the Apprentice Death God's performance.
Yun You found Tian En in the crowd, exchanged a glance with this girl and comrade, and smiled, "It's our turn now."
"Nine remaining people, you take three, I take six, how about that?"
Tian En nodded lightly.
"Rest assured, I'll complete my mission."
...
The seventh duel, under Yun You's suggestion, Mokaka used the first Brocade Bag — Eye of Identification.
Identification Skill's effect allowed Mokaka's gaze to break through illusions and obstacles for three moves, revealing the names of the Chessman dispatched by the opponent, understanding part of that Chessman's ability, and the Death God's rank sequence, and lasting for three moves.
Now, she only had two "Chessman" left on hand, holding back any longer was meaningless.
She must go all out.
And she wondered why the middle-aged Main Combatant over there seemed disinclined to use Brocade Bags. Since using the "Celestial Seal" in the first round with no result, he hadn't used any Brocade Bag skills.
"Maybe he's hiding his trump card?"
Mokaka thought silently.
What she didn't know was that the middle-aged Main Combatant's trump card far exceeded hers.
Perhaps due to the uneven number of Chessman under his command, the Brocade Bags the middle-aged Main Combatant received were not only ineffective but could only be used once.
He recalled what his superior told him when he was sent here.
"A person's strength may be unequal, but you can actively create an unfair situation through strategies, but the War Master always pursues fairness."
"Even if you fight for Him and have faith in Him as your God, the War Master is always fair. He treats each match fairly, using His own way to maintain balance."
"So no matter the opponent's strength, you must calculate carefully, and never take it lightly."
In hindsight, the Brocade Bags awarded by the Supreme Heaven Purification Field should be the War Master's means to create "fairness."
The middle-aged Main Combatant looked at Mokaka and initially wanted to use a Brocade Bag.
After all, Mokaka only had Yun You and Tian En's two cards at the moment. Using a Brocade Bag on either would cause them significant trouble.
But after reconsidering, he decided against it.
Brocade Bags were precious; he intended to first overwhelm Mokaka's Chessman with sheer numbers, and then use all Brocade Bags on the final Chessman.
This was the most stable approach.
So after some contemplation, he decided not to hold back anymore and dispatched one of his strongmen.
No, strictly speaking, he no longer had any "cards" with smaller counts.
Disregarding those Tier Three Death Gods and Mercenaries left him with nothing but elites.
He now held a complete set of "high cards"!
...
"The Warrior dispatched by the opponent is Galland Collection."
With the help of the Eye of Identification, Mokaka saw the opponent's Chessman.
"I recall that little En fought Galland once, right?"
Tian En nodded.
That was a week ago. To protect Mokaka back then, she had a bloody battle with Galland Collection.
Although Galland could withstand Blood Scale Rose Court's power and even exhaust all her physical strength, to be fair, if both sides fought without any reservations and Tian En didn't need to divert energy to protect Mokaka, then in a one-on-one duel, the odds were roughly fifty-fifty.
Both could win, but both could also lose.
"I'll use another Brocade Bag for you, just to be safe."
After some thought, Mokaka made a decision.
She took out the "Celestial Seal" Brocade Bag and used it on Galland.
"If this thing can seal his sequence, then little En, you should be able to take him down with Cyberspace."
Tian En nodded firmly.
"Leave it to me, Mokaka-sama."
"I'll bring more victories back to you personally!"
