Chapter 120: The Battle of the Arena

  The second update!

  ——

  Someone else is stirring up trouble again!

  As soon as this scene appeared, almost all eyes in the Juxian Building looked over, with extremely excited expressions.

  Yan Qingni is one of the thirty-six true disciples of Liuyun Sword Sect, and Duanmu Lin is also a young master of the Duanmu family, one of the six major families. These two young masters with impressive backgrounds are helpless against Xie Zhan's attacks. Who is this newcomer that can take on Xie Zhan?

  "Big Brother Chen Tai." Meiyao exclaimed in surprise.

  It was Chen Tang who came, he brought his sister and brother into Longyuan City, at this moment, how could he stand by and do nothing?

  "Just wait and watch from the side for a while, I'll take you away later." Chen Xiao smiled at the siblings and said softly.

  The brother and sister, Mu Yao, had been tormented to the point of being covered in scars, with their emotions fluctuating wildly, feeling isolated and helpless, and filled with anger and resentment. Chen Tang's appearance, as well as the comfort in his voice, brought them a strange sense of warmth, making them feel grounded, and even if the sky were to fall, they could face it calmly.

  "What's wrong with you?" Yan Qingniu frowned and said, "This is not the time to be arrogant and competitive, be careful not to lose your own life."

  Chen Xiao casually tossed a jade bottle to her and said, "Thanks for the reminder. This hundred jin spiritual liquid is returned to you. I rescued Mu Yao's siblings and brought them to Longyuan City, not to cling to anyone."

  Yan Qingniu was taken aback, holding the jade bottle, and said no more. She was too lazy to say anything else, this guy was obviously an outsider cultivator, didn't know the power of the Xie family, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to show off.

  All these years, she has seen many foreign monks who don't understand anything and just think about how to become famous, how to take advantage of any opportunity to show off, and finally make a name for themselves in Longyuan City. Unfortunately, the ending of these people is without exception miserable.

  At this moment, in Yan Qingniao's eyes, Chen Tang had also become such a person.

  "Hey, brother, you're taking the law into your own hands and helping out with a knife? " Duanmu Lin seemed to think that his thunder had been stolen and said in a gloomy tone: "Don't accidentally hurt yourself to death, no one will even collect your corpse."

  Chen Xiao smiled and pointed to the distant bamboo building, transmitting a message: "There's someone there who wants me to tell you to leave quickly. If not, I'll take care of it myself and break your dog legs."

  "Damn it, I'd like to see who dares to say that!" Du Mu Lin suddenly became furious, looked up and saw a familiar face flashing by in the bamboo building window. His heart skipped a beat, his face turned deathly pale, he didn't say a word, hastily turned around and left in a hurry.

  Everyone looked curiously at the bamboo building, but saw that the window had been closed and couldn't see what was inside.

  Yan Qing looked at Chen Yu with a suspicious gaze, her expression uncertain and surprised.

  Because of Chen Xiao's transmission, she didn't hear anything, but she clearly saw that Du Mu Lin, who had always been fearless and dauntless, suddenly had a deep-seated fear on his face!

  How is it possible?

  Du Mu Lin, in pursuit of himself, these days have been sticking to him like cowhide plaster. How could he not even say goodbye and just leave?

  Could it be that this young man also has a very terrifying background?

  Yan Qingni couldn't see through it, so she decided to wait and see. She wanted to see how this guy would deal with Xie Zhan, the little devil king of the mortal world.

  ——

  ——

  "This Daoist friend, aren't you trying to oppose me?" Xie Zhan slowly opened his mouth, his eyes like a venomous snake, sizing up Chen Yu from head to toe.

  From Chen Tai's appearance to Duanmu Lin's departure, Xie Zhan had been watching coldly. Although he was arrogant and overbearing, he wasn't a fool. He knew that anyone who dared to jump out and oppose him at this moment was either a reckless youth or someone who thought they had some strength. Chen Tai's performance clearly didn't seem like that of a reckless youth.

  "It depends on how you handle it then." Chen Xiao said calmly.

  Xie Zhan's eyes rolled, and he sneered: "Want me to let this brother and sister go? No problem, as long as you can defeat my man. I'll immediately release them and not pursue the matter further. If not... then leave your own life behind, how about that?"

  "I agree."

  "Haha! That was great!" Xie Zhan laughed loudly.

  "But I also have a condition," Chen said calmly.

  "You said."

  "I won, you kneel down and apologize to them with a bow of your head, just three times will do." Chen Xiao said softly.

  "Ah..." Xie Zhan's eyes widened and his face turned gloomy as he said, "You little brat, you're playing with fire, do you know that?"

  "Didn't dare respond?" Chen Tai remained unmoved, as if he hadn't detected the thick threat in Xie Zhan's words.

  "Alright! I'll set the rules for this fight."

  After a long deliberation, he said in a gloomy tone: "Three games and two wins, you win, I'll do what you say immediately. If you lose, then die for me! Don't worry, to prove that I'm not bullying you, the cultivators who will fight are all below the Yellow Court Realm."

  "This is obviously bullying! Brother Chen is alone, how can he possibly win three games in a row?" Ma Wenfei shouted loudly.

  Chen Xiao raised his hand to stop him, but looked at Xie Zhan and said slowly: "Alright!"

  Xie Zhan let out a loud, sinister laugh and shouted violently, "Guards! Set up a thousand-man arena, I want everyone to see how this despicable foreign cultivator will die miserably!"

  ——

  ——

  Juxian Building is known as the first place of entertainment in Longquan, and naturally there is a stage for guests to gamble, fight and entertain.

  Many foreign masters, in order to make a name for themselves in Longyuan City, will choose to participate in the arena's gamble battles. Those with astonishing strength have a high probability of becoming guests, disciples, or followers of major powers... and with one leap, their status and value soar, enjoying endless resources.

  At this moment, in front of the arena that can accommodate thousands of spectators, the seats were already filled with people. Du Qingxi and his three companions also chose a corner to sit down.

  The eyes of the three people all fell on Chen Tang in front of the stage.

  "Chen Xiao is indeed a man of great loyalty and righteousness. For the sake of two unrelated siblings, he dares to offend the Xie family. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have his courage." Duanmu Ze said with admiration.

  "Isn't this good?" Du Qingxi asked back.

  "Is it? What's wrong?" Song Lin also asked.

  Du Mu Ze blushed and said, "Did I say anything bad about him? To be honest, in this world, there is only a friend like Chen Tai, to whom Du Mu Ze would entrust his life without any worries. As for others, don't even think about it!"

  Du Qingxi and Song Lin exchanged a smile, nodded in deep agreement. Chen Tang was that kind of person, no flowery words, but would go all out to help his acknowledged friends without hesitation.

  Such a person is really rare in today's cruel reality and the treacherous cultivation world. For Du Qingxiang and the other two, the friendship they established with Chen Xuan became even more precious.

  ……

  In front of the stage, Xie Zhan's side had two more people. One was a young man wearing a purple and gold robe, with eyebrows as black as ink, and eyes like two shining black gemstones that captivated one's heart. The other was a boy wearing feathered clothes, with an ordinary appearance but an extremely unique and delicate temperament.

  These two people were none other than Lin Shaoyi and Tang Xu, whom Chen Yao had met at the Chu Xuan Temple.

  "This time in battle, to be on the safe side, Brother Lin will go first and Brother Tang will go second, how about that?" Xie Zhan said slowly and deliberately.

  Lin Shaoqi smiled and said, "Let's do as you say, but I think Tang brother may not have a chance to appear on stage, haha." The implication was that he could kill Chen Yu in the first round.

  "That's naturally for the better." Tang Xu nodded his head, his expression calm, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

  "Good, this time the matter is settled, and you two will not be left out of the benefits!" Xie Zhan smiled and said, his eyes gazing at Chen Tang on the other side of the stage, a hint of sinister killing intent appearing on his lips.

  Just then, a beautiful and elegant waitress stepped onto the stage, smiled and scanned the surroundings, saying: "This gamble is initiated by Young Master Xie Zhan of the Xie family. The other party is an outsider cultivator... um, forgive me for not knowing his name. However, being able to be challenged by Young Master Xie Zhan, he must also be a formidable figure."

  The waitress paused for a moment before continuing: "The rules of the arena are simple - survival is all that matters. Now, please enter the stage."

  Whoosh!

  Lin Shaoqi couldn't wait any longer, and as soon as the waitress's voice fell, he tapped his foot on the ground, and with a swift motion, he leaped onto the stage like a big bird, his movements swift and smooth, winning the attention of most people in an instant.

  How could it be this guy?

  Seeing Lin Shaoqi, Chen Tai was taken aback. He still remembered that he had seen this person in the Chuhunwei Grand Hall before. At just 23 years old, he already possessed the cultivation of Purple Mansion Eight Stars, and among the many Purple Mansion cultivators who signed up at that time, he was extremely eye-catching.

  Thinking so, Chen Xiao's feet didn't slow down at all, and he stepped onto the stage one step at a time, in a steady and orderly manner.

  Wow~~

  Just as Chen Yao stepped onto the stage, a dense and complex pattern of symbols suddenly appeared around the entire stage, weaving together like flowing water, and suddenly propped up a huge light screen, completely wrapping the entire hundred-meter range of the stage.

  The Great Seal Formation!

  A high-level defensive formation that can withstand the attacks of two Golden Elixir Cultivators.

  "Little one, we meet again, unfortunately, this is also our last meeting." Lin Shaoyi smiled coldly, his eyes suddenly bursting with unprecedented fighting spirit and sharp light, his body slightly moved, and he disappeared out of thin air.

  Then, Chen Xiao saw a cold sword blade, in his own painful eyes, getting bigger and bigger, sharp and cold.

  Lin Shaoyi is also a very experienced fighter, who will take action as soon as he says so, without any hesitation or reservation. In fact, there is no need for any reservation on the arena, where life and death are determined by fate, even if his opponent is the king of heaven, he won't show any mercy.

  This sword is his signature move "One Character Piercing Clouds Sword", as fast as lightning, as fierce as thunder, the sword tip is like tearing through the white clouds in the sky, buzzing and arriving.

  Whoosh!

  He stabbed his sword into Chen's skull, but it was like stabbing into the air, and suddenly it was Chen's residual shadow.

  "Not good!"

  He hastily turned around and retreated in disarray.

  However, it was still a step too late. A voice came from beside his ear: "Your speed is too slow, before you can even draw your sword, I can kill you over a hundred times. You're not Xie War, this time I'll just give you a lesson, don't randomly help people in the future, or else you'll die without a place to be buried."

  "Seeking death!" Lin Shaoyi furiously roared, his body shrinking, his true yuan surging and circulating, the whole person like a bullet jumping rapidly on the arena, with multiple afterimages, no one could guess where his real body was.

  "Ten thousand shadows dance around me!"

  This is a rare spell, when performed to the extreme, can create tens of thousands of illusory shadows, each accompanied by a shadow, true and false, alternating and transforming, bewildering the light of day and night.

  But how can his speed surpass Chen Yao's?

  In the depths of the southern barbarian mountains, his physical skills had already reached the realm of Taoist intention, still freely drifting with the wind's intention, and his speed was extremely frightening. Lin Shaoyi was indeed very formidable, but in Chen Xiao's eyes, he seemed like a child.

  When he was displaying his "Wàn Yǐng Mí Guāng Shēn", Chen Tang suddenly appeared behind him, one hand grasping down, instantly pinching Lin Shaoyi's throat from behind, and with just a slight force, it would be the scene of death on the spot.

  Crack! Crack!

  Almost at the same time, Chen Yao's left hand was like a dragon claw, poking out and scratching Lin Shaoqi's shoulder blades, causing his tendons and bones to suddenly tear and break, rendering his arms useless.

  "Uggghhh... uggghhh..." Lin Shaoqi's face twisted in agony, but his throat was tightly constricted by Chen Tai, and all his cries of pain were transformed into a sound like the crowing of a rooster.

  Hiss!

  The thousands of monks watching from the stands all gasped in unison, almost disbelieving their eyes - was it really over after just a few breaths?
