The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 729 - 406: No Reservation

After Changtian’s appraisal, the current champion of this martial arts arena was a huge crocodile that had already defeated five challengers. Each time the arbitrator began the countdown, challengers were not as eager as they were for other arenas, for a simple reason—the crocodile never spared any challengers and its victims appeared to have suffered horrific torments before death since the ways they died were bizarre and varied. The last one it threw out, his abdomen ripped open, had his intestines pulled out to tie several fancy living knots, evidently the crocodile demon relished it.

Obviously, this was also a strategy thought up by the crocodile demon, to warn all challengers with its fierce and cruel method: think through the consequences before coming up here. Clearly, this guy is not as stupid as he looks. It must be said that this psychological tactic is very effective, the demons of Hidden Stream are fearless of death but that does not mean they like to seek it—if they are not almost sure they can kill this guy, they won’t take the stage.

However, there is never a lack of fools in this world. An hour ago, a Banshee entered Secret Realm No.4 and has not come out yet. Ning Xiaoxian could see through her level of cultivation at a glance and knew she was more likely to come to grief. Alas, such was the loss of a beautiful little Skylark. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Indeed, while she was savoring her brought-along cakes, the Transmission Array of Secret Realm No.4 fluctuated, followed by the tall figure of the crocodile demon emerging, and like throwing a sack, he threw down a body once more—it was the Skylark who had just breezed into the secret realm. But now, she was with her body intact, her head twisted at an unnatural angle. From Ning Xiaoxian’s perspective, she could just see the red and white viscous substance still slowly flowing out between her widely spread legs.

The personnel in charge of clearing the scene quickly stepped forward and took away the body. A demon, after death, would probably take 15 minutes to revert back to its original form.

The crocodile demon seemed refreshed, braggingly shouting down to the spectators: "Who else wants to come up? I’m not resting for the next hour!" As the champion, he had the right to forego rest.

No sooner had his voice fallen, than a figure charged up from below, tearing off a strip of cloth and throwing it at the crocodile demon’s feet, roaring, "I’m going to kill you!" He was very young, but his eyes were bloodshot. Ning Xiaoxian recognized him; after the Sparrow Demon entered the secret realm, he paced back and forth anxiously below, like a trapped beast, obviously having a good relationship with the little girl demon. Having seen her being cruelly killed, it seemed a rush of blood to his head made him unable to hold back seeking revenge. In Bashen Mountain Range, ripping a piece of clothing from oneself and throwing it at the opponent was an intention of a fight to death, roughly akin to the practice in medieval Western Earth of throwing a White Glove at someone.

In fact, entering the door of Secret Realm No.4 is tantamount to a duel to the death. The crocodile demon walked into it with a sneer, and the Transmission Array closed behind them.

Qi Zai, transformed into a human, hasn’t entered the fray either. At the moment, he happened to swing over beside Ning Xiaoxian, looking around, frowned and said, "Why is it so deserted here?" Indeed, there were very few challengers waiting at the side of Arena No.4.

"Those who went up to challenge have all been killed by the champion," she said, munching.

"A death match?" He immediately became as excited as if infused with adrenaline. "Next, shall I give it a try?"

"A kid at heart, so fond of showing off and fighting fiercely?" She glanced at him indifferently, "No rush. There is plenty of time left for the match, starting to defend the arena now is not worth it."

Though he had lived a few hundred years, he was actually being called a "kid" by a girl not yet twenty. Qi Zai was deflated, but just then saw several figures rushing over, the leading giant figure looked somewhat familiar.

Ning Xiaoxian took the initiative to ask, "Xi Yan, sir, what brings you here?"

The Great Rhino Demon Xi Yan, who had always a cool demeanor, now wore an anxious look and immediately asked, "Did a Rhino Demon enter Secret Realm No.4 just now, one dressed in green?"

"...Yes." The one who had just challenged the crocodile demon to a death match was indeed a Rhino Demon, and now it seemed that he had some connection to Xi Yan.

Sure enough, his face darkened immediately, exclaiming, "Bad news, bad news, why is this kid so rash!"

"He went in there to avenge the tortured Sparrow Demon. Was he one of your subordinates?"

Great Rhino Demon Xi Yan looked distressed: "He’s my nephew! Elik the champion has a policy of sparing no one, this is bad, how am I going to explain this to my wife back home?!"

No matter how powerful, he could only silently stand under the arena. Everyone present was no slouch, and by now everyone knew that the little Rhino Demon going in was as good as dead, Ning Xiaoxian did not offer comfort, her gaze just slightly shifted.

After a while, the Transmission Array of Arena No.4 finally stirred. Everyone hurriedly looked up, and indeed saw the crocodile demon coming out unscathed, holding the nearly split in half body of the Little Rhino Demon and throwing it onto the ground. No one felt sorry, including Ning Xiaoxian within, because this was the price of recklessness.

Xi Yan’s fists, larger than sand bowls, clenched tightly, the joints cracking. The one dead on the stage was his kinsman, but his cultivation was far beyond the Wanxiang Stage, disqualifying him from entering the stage. Since the crocodile demon had reached the Great Perfection of the Wanxiang Stage and was even more powerful than his two guards, he didn’t want to send them to a certain death. Thus, he stood there full of anger without a way out.

The crocodile demon also noticed Xi Yan’s expression and suddenly gave him a brazen laugh.

Ning Xiaoxian, curious, said: "This crocodile demon is really arrogant. Aren’t they afraid you will seek revenge later?" (To be continued.
