Chapter 1174 - 234: Who Is the Strongest Duo
The mixed match, it is indeed a mixed match, not just the most brutal slaughter among the thirty-six groups of contestants.
Even though it was long expected that the final round of the competition wouldn’t be easy, none of the contestants anticipated that the Heroic Society would disregard the contestants’ lives, adopting the mode of human (beast) mêlée.
"Damn, this Heroic Society is too ruthless, I’m not competing."
Considering the hungry demon beasts that have been penned up for nearly a month inside the arena and the contestants eyeing each other, some less confident contestants cursed and were about to leave.
"Leaving is not that easy, you’ve all signed the Dead Contract. If you want to exit the arena, life or death is irrelevant."
Qin Dong entered with a crowd of henchmen from the Heroic Society.
One person, upon entering, grabbed the contestant who was about to leave.
This person’s hand was like a fan, his fingers like steel bars, clutching the dissenting contestant’s throat, letting out a sinister laugh.
Instantly, Primordial Power surged in his hand, before everyone’s eyes, that contestant did not have time to cry for help and was powerless to resist, like a child, having his neck brutally snapped alive.
Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun discreetly watched.
The martial artists behind Qin Dong all had sharp restrained gazes, no trace of Primordial Power fluctuation around them, their strength much superior to the likes of Zhang Zi who was with Qin Dong earlier.
The strength of these people far exceeded Qin Dong, evidently not his subordinates.
Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun saw through it, and Ye Lingyue thought it was likely the incident with Yuan Xing alarmed the higher-ups of the Heroic Society, and due to the importance of the final trial, the new president of the Heroic Society specially dispatched extra personnel.
"Qin Dong, don’t push people too hard, you’re forcing us to a dead end." The contestants protested.
"Folks, there’s no need to speak so harshly, no one forced you to sign the Dead Contract. I, Qin, am not one for extermination, as long as you can defeat the experts behind me, I can let you leave the arena. But before the challenge, why don’t you take a look at the prize for the final winner of this Arena Tournament?"
After Qin Dong spoke, he ordered for the prize to be presented.
A few large chests were sent up.
Upon opening the boxes, they were filled with Intermediate Spirit Stones brimming with Spiritual Artifacts.
"This is the prize for the first place in this Arena Tournament, fifty thousand high-grade Intermediate Spirit Stones. Besides the Spirit Stones, there is also a Heaven Rank Spiritual Artifact and a storage bag, these three items are part of the prize."
Qin Dong had some methods, using both coercion and allure, first intimidating the crowd with Heroic Society’s experts, then prematurely revealing the prizes to entice the contestants, this hard and soft approach made those present waver.
Not to mention those two invaluable-looking Spiritual Artifacts and storage bag, even just those fifty thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones are enough to allure.
For most of Huangquan City’s Demon Hunters, it’s impossible to accumulate such Spirit Stones in a lifetime.
Moreover, the difficulty of defeating the experts behind Qin Dong is probably as challenging as the melee slaughter within the arena.
After some consideration, the contestants abandoned the idea of leaving, all remaining silent.
When the Sky Wolf Stick and Qiankun Capital Loan appeared, Yue Mubai’s eyes lit up in the candidate area.
The Sky Wolf Stick was indeed here.
No matter what, the Sky Wolf Stick must be acquired.
As for Ye Lingyue, she wished to throw Qin Dong out to demon beasts directly, for he was shameless enough to use her belongings as prizes.
The two each harbored intentions, simultaneously setting sights on the Sky Wolf Stick, and simultaneously sensed each other’s purpose.
The Mu Huo Team (Wu Wu Team) is also interested in the Sky Wolf Stick?
Upon realizing this, Ye Lingyue became vigilant.
Meanwhile, Yue Mubai’s gaze turned more hostile.
"Since no one is leaving, the competition will proceed as scheduled."
Qin Dong, knowing he achieved his goal, breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to the president’s early dispatch, otherwise, he would have been torn to pieces by these furious contestants before the competition began.
As the competition commenced, thirty-six teams of contestants filed into the arena.
The five platforms suspended in the air gradually descended, landing in the center of the arena, forming a large stage enough for a hundred-person mêlée.
Although last time, Yuan Xing’s unexpected insanity caused a loss in the arena’s popularity.
Following the new president’s orders, Qin Dong used the **** mêlée gimmick in the final round to attract more viewers, with the audience larger than ever before.
Even in the highest two VIP rooms, the heads of the three major chambers and the two presidents of the Heroic Society stood opposing each other.
This match concerns the three major chambers as well as the internal competition between the two presidents of the Heroic Society, making it extremely grand.
However, those contestants in the arena, apart from the Mu Huo team already collaborating with Chairman Jin, were unaware of themselves becoming pawns.
"President, do you really believe the Wu Wu Team will win? I heard Chairman Jin of Jin Wannian Commerce and the Mu Huo team have reached an agreement, secretly colluding with several groups to target the Wu Wu Team. As soon as they enter, they’ll likely be besieged. Coupled with the demon beasts, even if those two had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible to win."
Tan Su, seeing the president’s eyes fixed on the Wu Wu Team, expressed discontent.
"If they can’t handle such opponents, then let them die and be done with it." The president said emotionlessly.
He was looking for allies to enter that place with him, if too weak, they’re not allies, better off dead cleanly.
Seeing the president’s indifferent tone, Tan Su was relieved.
In the audience seats.
"They are Ling Yue’s opponents, the Mu Huo team? What’s going on with him?"
Qin Xiaochuan’s expression slightly changed upon seeing Yue Mubai and Zi Yan.
This pair of man and woman was the pair he encountered earlier at the city gate.
Recalling later, Qin Xiaochuan felt that man resembled someone, but just now, looking closely at the Mu Huo team, he immediately recognized Yue Mubai.
"Not good, why did Yue Mubai come to Huangquan City? His strength and Purple Fire both far surpass Sixth Sister-in-law, facing him, she could be in danger."
Worry appeared on Qin Xiaochuan’s face, wishing to warn Ye Lingyue, but the contestants had already entered the arena, leaving him no way to alert her.
