“Hmph!”
Liu Chuan Shen let out a cold snort, and with his hands behind his back, he walked out and said in a deep voice, “Rebellious son, the face of the Wu City Money Bank has been disgraced by you, why don’t you apologise to Miss Shan immediately?”
When Liu Chengfeng heard Liu Chuan Shen’s voice, he immediately turned around and looked, his face changed drastically, the arrogance and c*ckiness from earlier instantly disappeared cleanly.
“Father …… father …… I was just joking …… laughing with Miss Xiang Ling, I’ll go and apologise to Miss Xiang Ling right now …… “Liu Xifeng’s heart was very fearful and immediately became shivering.
Seeing Liu Zhanfeng this way, Liu Chuan Shen’s heart sighed long, even more disappointed, shook his head and said, “This rebellious son let His Highness the Ninth Prince laugh, let’s go to the martial arts market fighting arena now!”
Under Liu Chuan Shen’s leadership, it wasn’t long before Zhang Ruochen, the Ninth County Lord, and Shan Xiangling arrived at the Martial Market Fighting Arena.
In the Martial Market Fighting Arena, there was a sea of people, and powerful martial artists with powerful cultivations could be seen everywhere.
Of course, there were also many martial artists with very low martial cultivation levels, who stood at the periphery of the fighting arena, observing and learning from the fighting techniques of those strong martial artists.
When Liu Chuan Shen arrived at the Martial Market Fighting Arena, he immediately left and went to the palace in the deepest part of the fighting arena, having important things to attend to.
Zhang Ruochen, the Nine Sheriff Lords, and Shan Xiangling walked into the Yellow Grade Martial Fighting Palace.
The Yellow Grade Martial Fighting Palace was a ring-shaped building that was very old and was divided into six floors, with three hundred and sixty stands set up on each floor, each of which had a clear view of the battles on the Yellow Grade Battle Stage at the central location.
By paying ten silver coins per person, one could enter the Yellow Grade Battle Palace.
“Ninth brother, do you really want to participate in a martial arts battle? Your current cultivation level is still a little too weak, and there is still a big gap between you and Yellow Ranked martial artists.” The Ninth County Lord said.
The Ninth County Lord wasn’t looking down on Zhang Ruochen, it was just that she was very aware of the cruelty of the Martial Market Fighting Arena, after all, no one who dared to ascend to the battle stage was weak.
Shan Xiangling said, “I heard that before ascending to the battle stage, martial artists have to sign a life and death agreement, because, martial artists who ascend to the battle stage are all madmen, they all want to become famous in one battle, and they use desperate fighting styles, so if you’re not careful, you’ll be seriously injured, and you might even die on the battle stage.”
“Right! Ninth brother, you’d better cultivate until you reach the great circle of the Yellow Extreme Realm before participating in a martial arts battle! The money for the difference in purchasing the refining furnace, you can go ask Father for it, with your talent, even if you ask for a million silver coins, Father will definitely give it to you.” The Ninth County Lord advised.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Let’s take a look first!”
At this moment, a middle-aged martial artist in his thirties ascended the battle stage, he held a crimson lance and exuded a powerful aura as he said, “I am a great disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect, Nie Heng, and I am coming to the Yellow Grade Martial Arts Palace for the first time, who would like to be my first opponent?”
Shan Xiangling said, “Nie Heng, I’ve heard of his name, he reached the Yellow Extreme Realm Grand Circle when he was twenty-two years old, and has stayed at the Yellow Extreme Realm Grand Circle for fifteen years, his strength is quite formidable, he should be able to win seven or eight matches in a row.”
In the Kunlun Realm, there were countless clans and families, and some small clans only had dozens of disciples.
There were large clans that had disciples that numbered over ten million, ruling over dozens of counties in the martial arts realm, and were incomparably powerful.
Therefore, clans and families were divided into “three paths and nine streams”.
For example, Shan Xiangling’s “Red Cloud Sect” and Nie Heng’s “Heavenly Crane Sect” belonged to the seventh-rate sects.
In Yunwu County, there was one sixth-rate sect, five seventh-rate sects, seventeen eighth-rate sects, and countless ninth-rate sects.
All of these sects were subject to the management of the official forces.
If they were not managed, they were evil sects that would be crushed and rounded up by the official forces.
The Nine Sheriff Lord said, “Nie Heng’s cultivation is indeed very strong, but there are even more powerful people in the Martial Arts Palace, so I guess he can only win six matches in a row at most.”
Shan Xiangling said, “Since that’s the case, let’s go bet on it!”
“Good!”
The Nine Sheriff Lords and Shan Xiangling went forward together to the highest stands in the Yellow Grade Martial Arts Palace to participate in the betting.
“I’ll bet a thousand silver coins that Nie Heng can win six games in a row.” The Ninth County Princess took out a spirit crystal and placed it inside a grid with “six” written on it on the top of the betting table.
“I’ll bet 500 silver coins that Nie Heng can win eight games in a row.” Shan Xiangling took out a silver bag and placed it inside a grid with “eight” written on it.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll bet on a middle number!”
Zhang Ruochen was also interested and took out a Spirit Crystal and put it into the grid with “seven” written on it.
There were a lot of people participating in the betting fights, so if he could bet on every single one of them, he would also be able to reap a large amount of wealth.
Nie Heng’s strength was indeed very strong, and some people had even bet on him to win ten games in a row and become a Yellow Ranked Martial Artist. Although the probability was very low, once Nie Heng succeeded, then the person who bet on him would win the pot of gold.
The first martial artist to mount the Yellow Rank Battle Stage to challenge Nie Heng looked to be in his forties, with his cultivation reaching the Yellow Extreme Realm’s Great Extreme Position.
“Boom!”
Nie Heng stood in the centre of the yellow-level battle platform, and with just a single move, he blasted that one Yellow Extreme Realm Grand Extreme Position martial artist out and crashed down the yellow-level battle platform.
The first match was won!
The second match is won!
……
Game 5 win!
Game 6 win!
Nie Heng winning six matches in a row caused a great shock in the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Palace, and all the martial artists in the stands were cheering and shouting wildly.
In the Yellow Pole Martial Arts Palace, it was already remarkable to be able to produce a martial artist who won six matches in a row every day.
One had to know that the later it got, the stronger the opponents Nie Heng encountered.
By the seventh match, only martial artists with a record of winning seven matches in the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Palace would be qualified to challenge him.
Any martial artist who had a record of winning seven matches in a row in the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Palace, which one of them was weak?
Nie Heng was in the seventh match when he finally encountered a formidable opponent.
Huang Zhenlong, a martial artist of the Grand Circle of the Yellow Extremity Realm, had battled three times to win seven games in a row, but unfortunately, all three times, he had been defeated in the eighth match. His strength was quite strong.
Nie Heng fought with Huang Zhenlong for half an hour, and finally executed a middle-grade human-grade martial art, the “Snowflake Gun Technique”, which pierced through Huang Zhenlong’s chest, seriously injuring him and sending him flying off the battle stage.
However, Nie Heng was also hit by Huang Zhenlong’s palm and suffered internal injuries.
From his mouth, drops of blood spilled out.
At this moment, a man in his twenties mounted the battle stage, holding a white folding fan, and said indifferently, “You’re already seriously injured, it’s impossible for you to win eight matches in a row, admit defeat yourself!”
The battles on the martial arts arena were just so cruel, they simply wouldn’t give you time to rest and recuperate from your injuries, you had to keep on fighting without stopping.
Wanting to win ten matches in a row was simply as difficult as climbing into the sky.
Even with Nie Heng’s formidable strength, after seven consecutive battles, the true qi in his body had already consumed most of it, and he was also seriously injured.
In his current state, wanting to win the eighth match was almost impossible.
Nie Heng clenched his teeth and stared at the man holding a folding fan, saying, “Who said I can’t fight the eighth match? Who are you?”
“Heh heh! This gentleman comes from the State Master’s Mansion, his name is Xue Sick Sheng, and he has a record of winning eight matches in a row twice in the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Fighting Palace.” Xue Sick Sheng smiled faintly and gently shook the folding fan in his hand.
“Battle!”
Nie Heng mobilised his entire body’s true qi and injected it into his spear.
The long spear in his hand immediately sprouted a layer of flame-like light as he stabbed at Xue Sick Sheng.
“Wow!”
Nie Heng’s eyes blinked as Xue Sick Sheng’s figure disappeared.
Xue Sick Sheng was performing an upper human level pace, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Nie Heng’s body. With a wave of the folding fan in his hand, blood light flashed, and Nie Heng’s head flew straight out.
Xue Sick Sheng looked at the body that had fallen to the ground, a sneer appearing in his eyes as he said, ”I told you to admit defeat, but you refused to listen. Hehe! Foolish!”
A powerful Huangji Realm Grand Circle martial artist died on top of the battle stage just like that!
Those senior brothers and sisters of Nie Heng immediately rushed onto the battle platform and cried as they carried Nie Heng’s corpse down.
It couldn’t be helped, who told Nie Heng to sign a life and death agreement when he ascended the battle platform?
A few people always died every day in the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Palace, and everyone was already not surprised.
In fact, it was mainly because Xue Sickness Sheng’s cultivation was too powerful than Nie Heng’s, which was why Nie Heng was killed by Xue Sickness Sheng without even having the chance to admit defeat.
“Hehe! Knowing that there’s a huge difference in strength, yet not admitting defeat, how stubborn. Although fame is important, life is even more important.” The Nine Counties Lord sighed.
Shan Xiangling also gently shook her head and said, “With Nie Heng’s talent, with another ten years of cultivation, he has every chance of becoming a Xuanji Realm powerhouse. Many very powerful martial artists with great talent have fallen just like this.”
“Wow! Ninth Brother, you won the bet! Go quickly and see how much you won?” The Ninth County Lord said.
“It’s just luck!” Zhang Ruochen had only bet casually, not thinking that he could actually win.
Although Nie Heng died on the battle stage, he did win seven matches in a row.
Zhang Ruochen had bet one Spirit Crystal on the betting table, but won back eight Spirit Crystals.
“It’s almost time! I’m going to try out on the battle stage as well!”
Zhang Ruochen signed the life and death agreement, paid one spirit crystal, and headed towards the battle stage.
“Ninth Brother, I know I can’t stop you, but you must promise me that if you meet an unbeatable enemy, you must admit defeat immediately.” The Ninth County Lord said with concern.
The Ninth County Lord felt that Zhang Ruochen was only going to feel the atmosphere of the battle stage and did not really want to participate in the martial arts battle.
After all, his cultivation was only at the middle extreme position of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and he was far from even Nie Heng’s cultivation, so being able to win three matches in a row was already very good.
“Don’t worry! I have my measure!”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, looking very relaxed as he ascended the battle stage step by step.
He had just ascended the battle platform when a clamour resounded in the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Palace.
“Who is this youngster? So young that he dares to come to the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Fighting Palace to fight?”
“It’s probably because he wants to become famous as well! There are too many hot-blooded teenagers like this, dozens of them die every month, nothing to be surprised about?”
……
At this moment, Liu Chengfeng stood on top of one of the higher stands in the Yellow Extreme Martial Arts Palace, staring at Zhang Ruochen who had ascended to the battle stage with a few grim smiles on his face, “Haha! There is a way to heaven that you don’t go, and there is no door to hell that you barge in. If you die on the battle stage, I’m afraid that the Yunwu County King will have nothing to say!”
