Chapter 599 162: Cheating? (4,000 Words)
"Round eleven, Wu Ming wins! One chessman is lost from the left main combatant!"
Yun You spread her arms wide, basking in the audience's cheers.
The thrill of slaughter and the satisfaction of avenging her great hatred, combined with her desire for order, had unknowingly brought her mental state to its peak.
At this moment, she feared no opponent, nor any difficult obstacles.
The heavens and the earth, it seemed, had nothing that could hinder her freedom or bind her...
Seeing her somewhat petite... yet unyielding figure, the middle-aged main combatant and his subordinates' expressions turned a bit unsightly.
Actually, he knew, Hikamu probably couldn't win.
After all, no matter what, Yun You was considered Mokaka's trump card; it was impossible for her to lose to a Tier Three Death God.
Yet he truly hadn't expected this battle to be so one-sided.
Was Hikamu really that weak? Probably not, right?
In the middle-aged main combatant's impression, this guy was pretty fierce. Not to mention anything else, at least his defense and close-range combat ability were unrivaled among the Tier Three Death Gods.
Being invincible, drawing with Yun You in a short time, exhausting a lot of Yun You's physical strength, and even causing her some harm should all be normal, right?
But how did Hikamu end up being toyed with like this? Losing his life without even swinging a blade?
Upon careful thought, the middle-aged main combatant felt it wasn't that Hikamu was too weak, but that Yun You was too strong.
"If that's the case... let's restrict her a bit,"
he murmured to himself, drawing the next card but not forgetting to cover it with a "Brocade Bag."
At the same time, in the crowd, Shen Ye silently clenched his fist.
To the middle-aged main combatant, Hikamu's death was just the loss of a reasonable "chessman."
But to Shen Ye, it was equivalent to losing his left and right arms.
Shen Ye came from a common background, having neither noble friends nor family support.
Everything he owned was built by himself.
His desires were not small, but because of his humble background, he hadn't gained much decent support throughout the years.
The only confidant Shen Ye had was Hikamu, whom he saved on the prairie in his youth... who later became his little follower.
Hikamu was the only person he could completely trust.
Though he silently criticized Hikamu's savage style, the prairie wildness he always carried, it was impossible to say he had no feelings.
Thus, Hikamu's death was undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to him.
Moreover, he also realized that the city area beneath Yun You's feet was once that extra-territorial area he burned to cinders with his own hands.
However, being in the spectating seat, the intelligence and information he received was far less than Hikamu's, so he couldn't guess Yun You's identity in a short time.
He now only wished to take the stage to avenge his brother.
Yet, the middle-aged main combatant didn't let him enter.
"Brother Shen Ye, your strength is very strong, the best among us. To be on the safe side, it'd be better if you enter a bit later."
These were the words of the middle-aged main combatant.
Even if Shen Ye was dissatisfied, in the end, he could only accept, since the battle's order could only be decided by the main combatant himself.
And likewise among the crowd...
Another youth slightly lowered his gaze, somewhat unwilling to continue watching Yun You slaughtering in the arena.
Vitinya Puliscaro, Yun You's fifth senior brother, Old Jin's most "rebellious" student.
Like Shen Ye, he was inadvertently drawn into the Supreme Heaven Purification Field.
He didn't know much about Yun You's matters, so when the Purification Field required them to make a choice, he unhesitatingly chose the side of the middle-aged main combatant with more people.
However...
The moment he saw Yun You, he realized he seemed to have been calculated.
He never thought his little junior sister would become Mokaka's trump card, nor did he think he would have to fight her in the arena.
But now, he was the middle-aged main combatant's chessman, and might not have the authority to choose to fight or not.
"What's wrong?"
Just as Vitinya was silent, a clear, emotionless voice appeared behind him.
He instinctively turned back, only to see a young woman with blonde hair wearing a mask standing behind him.
"Tang Jin..."
Vitinya lowered his voice, slowly revealing the woman's name.
Yun You's third senior sister Tang Jin had also arrived at the Supreme Heaven Purification Field... and had also joined the camp of the middle-aged main combatant.
Unlike Vitinya, she made this choice fully aware of the inside information.
"Are you hesitating, Vini?"
Tang Jin slowly walked to Vitinya's side, whispering, "Since you've chosen this path, to stand against the teacher with arms, how can you not have this bit of resolve?"
"It's different!"
Vitinya gritted his teeth, his voice almost a roar.
"The little junior sister is innocent, how old is she? Maybe she doesn't know anything. How can we involve her too?"
"Besides, I promised the old man to avoid fratricide as much as possible..."
"Ridiculous,"
Tang Jin sneered unceremoniously, refuting, "At this point, why still talk about those meaningless promises."
"Since we've chosen betrayal, there's no turning back. Hesitating will only cost us."
