The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 2679 - 2654: First Entry into the Fighting Arena
At dawn, there were fewer warriors in the fighting arena.
Accompanied by the morning sun, Lin Bai in his white robe slowly walked toward the fighting arena and entered a dark passageway, where he took out a mask from his storage bag.
When Lin Bai emerged from the dark passageway, his white robe had already turned black, and his face bore an emotionless mask. His aura transformed instantly, becoming extremely sharp, even his closest friends would struggle to recognize him.
Emerging from the passageway, Lin Bai quickly arrived at the underground plaza beneath the fighting arena.
"Hey, you’re here. So early?"
As soon as Lin Bai walked in, he saw Tai Yi smiling at him.
Lin Bai said lightly, "It’s my first time at the fighting arena, I dare not be late! When does the martial arts competition start?"
Tai Yi said, "Don’t rush, just wait in that room. Today, it’s not just you as a newcomer making your debut; there are others, who will be your opponents!"
"Go and rest in the room for a while. When it’s your turn to enter, I’ll naturally come to inform you!"
Lin Bai nodded slightly and walked into the room specified by Tai Yi.
This room was extremely simple, about a hundred meters in size, with a long stone bench on both sides. At this time, Lin Bai saw four other warriors also sitting inside.
When they saw Lin Bai walk in, they glanced at him with interest, but when they sensed his cultivation, they immediately lost interest.
"Coming to the fighting arena with Death Reversal Realm Seventh Layer is a death wish?"
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"
Among these four, two wore masks, and two did not.
Especially the two warriors not wearing masks, Lin Bai immediately noticed the disdainful and contemptuous look on their faces.
Lin Bai ignored them and sat aside, waiting for the martial arts competition to begin.
Half an hour later, a few warriors entered the room again, including one wearing a mask.
Lin Bai glanced at him then ignored him, closing his eyes for some rest.
Before long, Lin Bai heard a noisy sound coming from the other side of the wall; warriors arriving to watch the fighting arena began entering one after another.
At this time, Tai Yi came in and said, "Great, there are eight of you today, which means among you six newcomers, two will become real fighters!"
"Get ready, it’s your turn to enter soon!"
"Ghost Messenger and Lu Wei, you’re up first!"
Tai Yi said with a smile.
Lu Wei, the young warrior without a mask, heard he was up first and immediately stood up, clenching his fist as he said, "Ghost Messenger? Hmph, just wait to die!"
As for the warrior named "Ghost Messenger," he wore a mask of an evil ghost. He glanced at Lu Wei indifferently without reacting, but Lin Bai still saw the derision in his eyes!
Clearly, the warrior with the Ghost Messenger mask didn’t regard Lu Wei as a threat.
Just then, a loud voice resonated from the fighting arena.
"Welcome everyone to the fighting arena, I am today’s referee, Ning Zheng!"
"Before today’s formal fighting begins, there will be a few evaluation battles for the new fighters, a little warm-up!"
"..."
The referee named Ning Zheng began introducing in the fighting arena.
Hearing his remarks, the entire fighting arena echoed with a wave of commotion.
"Now, let’s have the first group of new fighters enter: Ghost Messenger and Lu Wei!"
Ning Zheng’s voice resonated.
Standing in the room, Tai Yi chuckled, "Off you go!"
Immediately, Ghost Messenger and Lu Wei stood up and exited the room.
Meanwhile, the others in the room came to the windows to watch the martial arts competition outside, where they saw Ghost Messenger and Lu Wei walking side by side into the arena.
The fighting arena buzzed with excitement due to their entrance, warriors’ cheering and furious roars echoed without end!
"Beat him to death!"
"New fighters, show your strength!"
"Is there going to be a standout performer?"
"Go for it!"
"Kill him!"
One after another, the frenzied screams of the warriors stirred the blood.
At this moment, Lin Bai also stood up, approaching the window, watching Ghost Messenger and Lu Wei who were about to engage in combat.
The two stood in the wide plaza of the arena, their expressions revealed shock and fiery determination as they glanced at the surrounding fighters.
"Alright, let the martial arts competition begin!"
Referee Ning Zheng shouted.
Immediately, Ghost Messenger and Lu Wei came to their senses, looking at each other, their eyes revealing murder intent!
Without saying another word, the two started their fierce clash.
A great battle erupted thunderously in the fighting arena.
Lin Bai was also watching the developments of this battle.
At first, Lu Wei suppressed Ghost Messenger, completely gaining the upper hand, making everyone feel that Ghost Messenger was unable to support himself and would soon be defeated, but at this moment, Ghost Messenger suddenly exerted strength, sending Lu Wei flying instead!
Seeing Lu Wei about to be defeated, Lu Wei’s expression hardened, using a forbidden skill, his power surged as he charged at Ghost Messenger, intending to kill him this time.
Seeing Lu Wei’s determination to kill, Ghost Messenger no longer showed mercy, his expression turned ruthless.
With a punch, he actually killed Lu Wei under the fist!
With a loud bang.
Lu Wei’s body shot out, landing on the ground with no breath left.
The warriors around looked at Ghost Messenger in stunned silence, coming back to their senses only after a while, cheering loudly.
"Ghost Messenger, victory!" the referee shouted immediately.
Inside the room, everyone was exceptionally calm.
One person coldly said, "This Ghost Messenger could have killed Lu Wei with one punch, yet he lingered around for so long, what a tedious affair!"
Lin Bai looked at the speaker, who was a warrior without a mask, a middle-aged man with a terrifying wave of strength emitting from his muscles, clearly a powerful Body Refiner!
"Indeed, truly a waste of time!" another warrior wearing a floral mask also said coldly.
At this time, Tai Yi brought Ghost Messenger back into the room.
Ghost Messenger sat down to rest.
Tai Yi then said, "Sword Demon, Hong Lang, it’s your turn for the martial arts competition, follow me!"
"Finally, it’s my turn! Which one of you is Sword Demon? Are you prepared to die?" That sole warrior without a mask stood up from the stone bench, stretching lazy, and asked nonchalantly.
Lin Bai remained silent, calmly standing up from the stone bench.
Seeing Lin Bai rise, the warrior frowned and said, "So you’re the warrior with Death Reversal Realm Seventh Layer? Boring, looks like my first battle at the fighting arena will be an easy win!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Hehe."
Seeing it was Lin Bai, Hong Lang showed a relaxed expression, hardly seeing Lin Bai as a challenge!
Then, Lin Bai and Hong Lang followed Tai Yi out of the room.
