Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1136 - 1122: Roll Up Here and Die!

Buzz!

The longsword tore through the air, thrusting straight toward Ma Zhong’s heart.

If this sword struck, Ma Zhong would be doomed without a doubt.

Beneath the arena.

Xiao Yi’s expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to intervene, a brilliant, dazzling light erupted atop the stage, condensing into a transparent barrier as clear as glass.

With a muffled thud,

the light on the barrier shimmered, forcibly blocking Xiao Yi’s approach.

In that instant...

"Pfft!" The longsword had already slashed into Ma Zhong’s chest. However, due to Xiao Yi’s intervention, the Azure Serpent Lord was momentarily distracted and missed piercing the heart. Yet Ma Zhong still suffered a severe injury, his entire left arm cleaved off at the shoulder.

Blood spurted profusely from the wound on his shoulder, staining more than half of his body crimson.

The acrid stench of blood filled the air.

The referee turned a grim face toward Xiao Yi. "Before the combat ends, no one is allowed to interfere! Since it’s your first offense, this is a warning. If it happens again, all your achievements will be annulled..."

"Damn it."

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, looking toward Ma Zhong on the stage. "Ma Zhong, are you okay?"

"I—I’m fine. Not dead yet!" Ma Zhong grunted, clutching the wound on his shoulder.

Xiao Yi said, "Concede. Don’t keep pushing yourself..."

Ma Zhong had already secured nine consecutive victories.

He needed just one more win to earn enough money to treat his daughter’s illness.

Xiao Yi had once offered to sponsor this amount, but Ma Zhong had refused.

Now.

He had already been wounded by the Azure Serpent Lord.

There was no way he could face off against the Azure Serpent Lord again.

However...

Ma Zhong shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I can’t burden you..."

Curing his daughter’s illness was no trivial sum.

Ma Zhong didn’t want to drag Xiao Yi into it.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The Azure Serpent Lord let out a sinister, eerie chuckle and mocked, "How touching, such profound brotherly love. But what a pity. This is the Asura Arena, not some Merciful Institute. Don’t think this little display will soften my heart!"

Whoosh!

Ma Zhong took a deep breath, his crimson-red eyes locked onto the Azure Serpent Lord, who was licking the blood off his sword with a wicked tongue. "Fight me!"

Boom!

Ma Zhong charged like a raging bull toward the Azure Serpent Lord once again.

His speed was astonishing, bolstered by his immense strength—an unstoppable force for most opponents.

Yet the Azure Serpent Lord had the upper hand in speed and his sly, devious attacks.

Swish!

Again and again, the Azure Serpent Lord shifted positions, causing Ma Zhong to repeatedly crash into empty air. His sword sliced at Ma Zhong’s body from insidious, twisted angles, cut after cut.

Drip, drip, drip!

Blood dripped continuously.

Ma Zhong’s movements slowed with each passing moment, leaving trails of blood wherever he went.

He was now so weak, he couldn’t even match the strength of an ordinary person.

"Kill him!"

"Finish him off!"

"Hahaha, well done, Azure Serpent Lord!"

From the audience, countless powerful spectators clamored.

To them...

A show like this—where the Azure Serpent Lord toyed with his opponent, torturing him, dragging him into endless despair and darkness before delivering the final blow—was precisely the kind of battle they loved most.

Watching Ma Zhong inch closer to death, with his dripping blood heightening their frenzy, further inflamed the crowd.

The Azure Serpent Lord burst into laughter. "Alright, as you wish, I’ll finish him now!"

"Surrender, Ma Zhong..." Xiao Yi shouted as the Azure Serpent Lord advanced step by step.

"No... I can’t lose..."

Ma Zhong, barely conscious, muttered incoherently, "I... I must win this fight. I have to..."

In his fading vision, the Azure Serpent Lord’s figure blurred into two, three silhouettes.

Still, he clenched his fist and struck out hard.

But this time...

Once again, he hit nothing but air!

With a heavy thud, he collapsed face-first onto the ground.

The Azure Serpent Lord stared at the fallen Ma Zhong, a cold, sinister grin spreading across his face. He cast a wicked glance at Xiao Yi beneath the stage and sneered, "Kid, you’re next!"

Swish!

A single sword stroke, and the head was severed.

The Azure Serpent Lord grabbed Ma Zhong’s severed head by the hair, hoisting it high, and roared, "I win!"

Boom!

The entire Asura Arena erupted into cheers. "Azure Serpent, invincible!"

"Hahaha, exhilarating!"

"Big rewards..."

Carrying Ma Zhong’s head, the Azure Serpent Lord strutted arrogantly toward Xiao Yi, tossing the severed head to the ground with a casual flick. Then, he made a throat-slitting motion at Xiao Yi. "You must want to kill me for revenge now, don’t you? Heh heh, then you better stay determined. I’ve completed my tenth consecutive victory. If you can’t win your next match, you won’t even qualify to challenge me!"

Looking at Ma Zhong’s head—his lifeless eyes filled with despair and unwillingness—

Xiao Yi sighed heavily.

Although Ma Zhong was merely a passerby in his life, his struggle and sacrifice for his family deeply moved Xiao Yi.

"Don’t worry. I will avenge you! And your daughter—I’ll see to her treatment, too!" Xiao Yi vowed solemnly.

Ma Zhong’s eyes slowly closed.

Only then did Xiao Yi lift his gaze to the Azure Serpent Lord. "Don’t leave just yet!"

"Hmm?"

The Azure Serpent Lord blinked in surprise.

Xiao Yi leapt onto the stage, landing at its center. Only then did he address the Azure Serpent Lord, "In the next round, I’ll challenge you!"

"The next round? Hahaha, do you think you’re guaranteed victory this round? Kid, you’re awfully confident for someone who doesn’t even know their opponent yet..." The Azure Serpent Lord mocked and shook his head.

Xiao Yi replied calmly, "No matter who the opponent is, I will not lose!"

"Arrogant!"

A booming voice from the crowd answered, followed by a robust middle-aged man with a bulky frame and muscles like boulders leaping onto the stage. His burly hands gripped a massive silver hammer, the impact of its landing producing deep, resonant thuds.

The hammer must have weighed at least ten thousand pounds!

"Tsk tsk!"

The Azure Serpent Lord sneered, his tone dripping with mockery. "Kid, your luck isn’t great! This is Xiong Dali, born with Innate Divine Strength, and his Silver Demon Hammer Skill lets him fight above his level. You’ll have to defeat him first before you can even think about challenging me!"

Xiong Dali smirked coldly at Xiao Yi. "Kid, you’ll never get the chance to face the Azure Serpent Lord..."

"Shut up!"

Xiao Yi threw a single punch.

Everyone saw only a blur of shadow flash before their eyes.

When they regained focus...

Xiong Dali had already been knocked off the stage. Xiao Yi’s punch hadn’t claimed his life but had instead rendered Xiong Dali unconscious, leaving him lying flat and motionless on the ground.

Xiao Yi turned to the still-stunned referee. "Is it over?"

The referee froze, stared at Xiong Dali’s motionless form, swallowed hard, then nodded. "O-over!"

"Good!"

Xiao Yi nodded slightly. His gaze moved to the Azure Serpent Lord below, whose smirk had been wiped clean from his face. Stretching out his finger, Xiao Yi pointed directly at him and declared coldly, "Get up here and prepare to die!"
