When Liu Xuan, Liu Xin, Ji Rushi, Cang Yaner and the others saw that the person was Han Chen, all of them revealed different expressions.
"Hmph, so it's him. Let's see how you die now." Liu Xin already hated Han Chen to the core, the corners of his mouth raised into a sinister smile.
Ji Rushi frowned, she was slightly worried for Han Chen.
In Stage Eight, Han Chen's expression was calm as he walked between the five of them. Meng Lao attacked from the front, while the other four attacked from the sides. Although they did not coordinate well, their attacks were still extremely sharp.
"Brat, let's see how long you can endure this!" Meng Lao's tone was filled with killing intent, he waved his sword and shouted, "Profound Ice Cross Cut!"
In the air, an ice-cold Qi could be felt and two cross slashes made from ice blades swiftly slashed towards Han Chen. At the same time, the other four people also pointed their weapons at his vital points.
Han Chen's palm congealed, and a blood-colored crescent moon was formed in front of him to receive his attack. As the crescent moon moved, it ignited with substantial flames.
Bang! The two completely opposite powers clashed against each other, the scorching flames and icy blades clashed against each other, and ice crystals splattered everywhere. The flow of air in the arena became somewhat chaotic. After blocking Meng Lao's attack, Han Chen used the Great Void Dragon Wandering Steps to dodge the attacks of the other four people.
With all five of them working together against one person, the eight rings were truly the first they saw. Even Meng Huo and Liu Yifeng did not enjoy such treatment. Everyone's eyes were on arena eight. Most of the people were stunned, but then they revealed a look of schadenfreude.
"That brat seems to be Han Chen, right? How could they be surrounded and attacked by five people? "
"You don't know about that, do you? Yesterday at the Jun Jia Residence, Han Chen offended young master Meng Lao and Miss Liu Xin. Do you think that he will still have a good life? "
"So that's how it is?" "Hehe, what bad luck. After a while, he won't be able to last much longer."
"Being unable to hold on is just a small matter. Look at Young Master Meng Lao and the rest, do you think he will still be able to live today?"
Some sarcastic and sarcastic people started to make sarcastic remarks. In the eyes of practically everyone, Han Chen's fate was sealed. It was hard to say whether or not he could preserve his life.
Hua Yumei stood in the middle of the crowd, her beautiful eyes filled witrace of anger. She didn't expect that the City Lord's Mansion's people would be so shameless. Let Meng Lao openly take revenge on Han Chen. Even at this moment, she was not confident. After all, Han Chen was only at the seventh level of the Refinement Realm.
The Hidden Court City's City Lord Meng Hai, who was seated in the eastern spectator's grandstand, had a slightly surprised look on his face. He knew that Meng Lao wanted to deal with someone, but he didn't think that it would be Han Chen. Out of the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the Bai Family Patriarch Bai Xiaotian, who was standing not far away. Meng Hai inwardly sneered.
Bang! Han Chen met Meng Lao's palm directly, and after pushing the latter away, Han Chen was able to launch his second round of attacks in time. The other people's bodies each began to emit a strong wave of energy fluctuations.
"Hehe, little thief Han Chen, prepare to die!" Meng Lao's eyes flashed fiercely, following that, the golden image of a sword appeared behind him. Innate divine ability. A sharp sword! "
Seeing this scene, the spectators knew that Han Chen would not be able to escape death.
Ji Rushi's beautiful face changed slightly, her beautiful eyes could not bear to see such a sight. Liu Xin, who was beside him, was the complete opposite. The pure looking face was filled with a cold intent.
Princess Cang Lan, Cang Yaner. The corner of her mouth raised into a smile that was not a smile, as though she was prejudiced against Han Chen, and hoped that he would die on the spot.
As for Bai Hao, Hua Yumei and a few others, they were extremely worried.
But even at the most critical moment, Han Chen's face did not change, he coldly looked at the five people around him and spoke coldly.
"I'll give you a chance to stop right now. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your lives."
"Hahahaha, brat, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?" Meng Lao did not get angry and instead laughed, his face full of endless contempt and ridicule.
Not only him, but the other four contestants also had expressions of disdain on their faces. Even the audience found it funny.
"That kid sure has some skill at bluffing."
"That's right, haha, luckily I didn't go up on stage. Otherwise, I would definitely have been scared to death by him, haha. "
Amidst the crowd's ridiculing laughter, Meng Lao and the other four's combined attack was instantly completed. Five different powers separately assaulted Han Chen from five different directions.
In particular, a golden, solid sword beam that was several meters long, emitted a strong destructive power when combined with the "ability of a sharp sword".
Even Meng Huo and Liu Yifeng would not dare to face a combined attack from five people. However, Han Chen just stood there without moving, his cold eyes surging with the killing intent of the forest.
"Innate divine ability, Devour!" Han Chen secretly shouted in his heart.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Five tided-like attacks accurately struck Han Chen's body, and chaotic amounts of martial spirit energy leaked out in all directions on the stage.
In the eastern part of the stands, Bai Hao's legs went limp as he slumped on his chair. His eyes glazed over. Bai Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly, and heaved a deep sigh of relief. However, he could not tell whether this was sadness or joy.
Liu Xin, Meng Huo, Liu Yifeng and the others who had grudges with Han Chen, all revealed cold smiles. Especially Liu Yifeng, who swept a glance at Ji Rushi who was in the audience seats and secretly ridiculed him, "Looks like I don't have a use for this."
"Hahahaha, useless thing! You've died in my hands!" Meng Lao laughed wantonly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! With a loud sound, the chaotic martial energy in the center suddenly exploded. Everyone was shocked, and in the next instant, a figure flashed on the stage.
Hiss! The sound of a sharp weapon slicing through flesh came crashing over, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.
The expressions of everyone present instantly stiffened on their faces. When they saw the situation on stage, everyone's pupils involuntarily shrunk.
The contestant on the left was already lying on the stage. Fresh blood flowed from his wrists and ankles, as if someone had cut off the tendons in his hands and feet. It looked extremely pitiful. Standing in front of him, Han Chen held her sword horizontally. The soft sword that was thin like a cicada's wing flowed with traces of blood.
Chapter 106 - Thunderbolt Strike
An incomparably mournful scream echoed from arena eight.
Looking at the young man with the broken tendons in his hands and feet, everyone in the audience widened their eyes as they felt their scalp tingle. Their faces were all filled with disbelief.
"He, he's actually fine?"
"Oh my god!" How is this possible? Even sucowerful attack was unable to take his life? "
"Is he really only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage?"
On the eastern platform, Bai Xiaotian, Bai Hao, Liu Xuan, and Meng Hai were also puzzled. As for Ji Rushi, Liu Xin, Cang Yaner and the others, they were even more astonished.
From afar, one could see that even if Han Chen, who was on the eighth stage, wanted his life, there were no injuries on his body at all.
Without waiting for them to react, Han Chen moved. His firm and unswerving figure released a wave of ruthlessness. With a shake of the soft sword in his hand, a spiritual snake emerg
ed from the hole and attacked the other contestant. The latter's expression changed as she hurriedly raised her sword to receive the attack.
Several sharp sword shadows flashed past. The weapon in the man's hand fell to the ground with a clang. He collapsed powerlessly to the ground, and his wrists and ankles were also covered with a dark red blood.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Listening to the mournful scream, the hearts of everyone present couldn't help but tremble, as their tendons and limbs had been cut off yet again.
Meng Lao and the other two participants instantly turned pale with fright. As he stared at the two men lying on the ground like dead dogs, the fear in his heart spread across his entire body likidal wave.
"Han, Han Chen, you, don't come over here."
"Hehe, I've already given you a chance. It's something you guys don't know." Han Chen's cold eyes were like icicles, flickering with a frightening light. A strong sword aura was released without reservation. As the swords danced in the air, the shadows of the swords that filled the sky interweaved together, forming a resplendent net of swords that shot towards the three people from all directions.
"Boundless Phantom!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Two miserable cries overlapped one another. Aside from Meng Lao, the other two people suffered the same fate as the other two. The tendons in his hands and legs were all cut off by Han Chen, and he laid down powerlessly on the ground, groaning in pain.
In the blink of an eye, the four outstanding young martial artists became useless. To martial artists, this was even more painful than killing them.
The higher-ups of the surrounding families, as well as the audience, all had the same thought in their minds. Ruthlessness, really ruthlessness. But then again, was Han Chen really to blame?
Even after taking care of four of them, it was still insufficient. Han Chen grasped his longsword horizontally, and slowly approached the main culprit, Meng Lao.
The nerves of everyone present collapsed inthin line. Everyone's eyes were staring at the two of them. How would Han Chen punish him?
Meng Lao was already scared to death. His face was ashen, and his heart was filled with cold fear. You, what do you want? "
"Heh, what do you think?" Killing intent surged in Han Chen's eyes, his mouth formed a playful smile.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You … "Meng Lao hurriedly turned his gaze towards the City Lord Meng Hai who was standing on the eastern platform and asked for help," Uncle, save me!
At the same time, the longsword in Han Chen's hand released a thick layer of red light, as the densely packed sword images released a dense, cold killing intent.
The City Lord Meng Hai's expression changed drastically as he shouted, "Stinky brat, you dare?!"
Hiss! Countless of sword images pierced through Meng Lao's four limbs, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Meng Lao's hands and feet were directly sliced off on the spot. Broken limbs were thrown into the air. Blood rained down from the sky. Dark red blood splattered across half of the arena.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Meng Lao let out a miserable howl likig being slaughtered, he had lost the support of his legs … He fell onto the stage withud.
In that instant, the entire audience was completely silent, but it was as if someone had struck their hearts withunderbolt. It was so loud that his ears buzzed.
This was truly ruthless! The four people whose tendons had been cut were also stunned by Meng Lao's miserable state. In comparison, they still kept their bodies intact. But so what? From today onwards, they were crippled.
Regret, indignation, and resentment filled their bodies and minds. If they had known earlier, they would not have agreed to let Meng Lao go against him. This kind of price was extremely painful.
Those people who had previously mocked Han Chen all shut their mouths obediently. Now, they were truly glad that they didn't participate in the competition, and even more thankful that they weren't in the same group as Han Chen.
Bai Xiaotian, Bai Hao, Bai He and the others were all in disbelief as they watched this scene. After not seeing him for a few years, that child who was once bullied by others had now become so sharp.
Bai Xiaotian's lips slightly moved, and he softly muttered, "What have you experienced all these years?"
The expressions of Liu Xuan, Ji Rushi, Liu Xin, and the others changed. They never thought that this would be the result. Especially Ji Rushi, her beautiful eyes subconsciously looked towards Liu Yifeng who was in stage five, and her heart was filled with worry.
Meng Huo and Liu Yifeng, who were both located on platform number 1 and No. 5, had slightly serious expressions, but most of all, there was a gloomy and cold killing intent.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Meng Lao cried as he glared at Han Chen venomously, "Damned bastard, I won't let you get away with this. "I will definitely not let you get away with this. I will cut off your flesh piece by piece. I will make you beg for death!"
"Since that's the case, why should I keep you here?"
Han Chen said in a bland tone, causing everyone's heart to tighten. With the arrival of the god of death, the hatred in Meng Lao's eyes instantly transformed into endless fear.
Hiss! The cold blade of the sword slashed across his opponent's neck. The entire world seemed to have come to a standstill.
Meng Lao's pupils rapidly dilated as he tilted his head back, his lips moving as though he was a fish under oxygen. Time to live took away his life force. Everyone in the room was shocked, as if they had been separated by a lifetime.
Hidden Court City's City Lord Meng Hai was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. "Clenching his teeth, he shouted with incomparable fury." "Brat, you dare to kill him?"
The hearts of the audience jolted as they suddenly regained their senses.
Han Chen sneered, and looked at Meng Hai without fear, "Could it be that he can only kill me? Sabers and swords had no eyes, and each had their own destinies. This iule that your City Lord's Mansion has personally set down. "
"Shut up."
"Am I wrong? If your City Lord speaks like fart, you can come over and kill me right now. "
"You?" Meng Hai was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His face was ashen, and veins were popping out from his forehead. At that moment, he really wanted to rush over and kill Han Chen witalm. However, it was difficult to hide the rage in the tens of thousands of spectators' mouths, so they could only forcefully suppress it.
Bai Xiaotian, who was standing beside him, frowned. It was unknown what he was thinking.
As for the Patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Xuan, he was gloating secretly and laughing to himself. Even though the Liu Family and the Mayor's mansion seemed to be in harmony, the relationship between them was not that good.
Ji Rushi and Liu Xin couldn't help but be a little worried. If Han Chen and Liu Yifeng were to meet, what kind of intense battle would happen? Princess Cang Yaner looked deeply at Han Chen who was standing on the stage, and a cold intent stealthily crept onto her delicate eyebrows.
The judges in the audience sent people to clean up the mess of corpses on the stage. The four contestants with broken tendons on their arms and legs were also moved down from the high platform. Perhaps to them, taking back their lives was the only consolation.
Because Arena Eight was in such an intense battle, no one noticed that there were already two arenas where contestants had been promoted. They were Bai Yu from the third ring and an ordinary-looking man from the second ring.
From the very beginning, Bai Yu had been paying attention to Han Chen's situation. When she saw that the other party had killed Meng Lao in suchunderous manner, her heart trembled uncontrollably.
Hua Yumei, who was in the middle of the crowd, heaved a sigh of relief as a compl
icated look appeared in her beautiful eyes. After this battle, she had already changed her opinion of Han Chen.
A moment later, the battles on the eight arenas finally came to an end.
Just as everyone had thought, Meng Huo, Liu Yifeng,, Bai Yu and Bai Hong had all levelled up. However, the White Army had been eliminated. The biggest accident would naturally be Han Chen, as he would completely charge out of the encirclement aowerful dark horse.
Bai Hong who was in stage seven had levelled up smoothly. However, he was not happy at all, because he was in order. His opponent was Han Chen.
The first round of the knockout stage was a complete mess. The audience was filled with anticipation for the next round. After the injured competitors were all moved away, only one person remained on each stage.
The elder who was dressed as a deacon walked to the center of the stage and looked deeply at Han Chen, and then looked at the gloomy City Lord Meng Hai who was standing on the east platform. Then, she pursed her lips and spoke with an unnatural tone.
"Next, we will proceed to the second round. Stage 1 winner, Meng Huo, against Stage 2 winner, Yang Feng. The rest of the personnel will leave the arena temporarily. "
Meng Huo against Yang Feng!
The other six left the ring one after another, heading towards their respective families. Just as Han Chen was about to step down, a gentle voice called out to him, "Han Chen."
"Hmm?" Han Chen was startled, the one who called him was Bai Yu, "What happened?"
"You come with me!" Bai Yu pointed at the Bai Clan procession on the eastern platform. "Grandpa is over there!" Won't you come over? "
Han Chen frowned, and asked: "Did you let me go back? Or did he let me go back? "
"Yes," Bai Yu answered in surprise. However, Han Chen shook his head, turned around and walked in Hua Yumei's direction.
After the second round of battles was finished, Meng Huo and the man called Yang Feng stood on Stage One and faced each other.
Yang Feng's appearance was quite ordinary, but his skin was fair and clean, and he looked more energetic. He knew that when facing this opponent of Meng Huo's, he could not be the least bit careless.
