Book 2: Chapter 23: Fighting Hard in the Beast Arena
Gu Hai gently adjusted the corner of his robes before leading the remaining one thousand-odd black-clad evil men towards the beast arena.
Scar led the Profound Legion out, quickly assassinating everyone in the way. Soon, he eradicated the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples guarding the place. Thus, Gu Hai’s group smoothly reached the center without encountering any problems.
——
The one thousand-odd black-clad men that suddenly appeared attracted the attention of the countless gamblers in the surroundings.
“Hey? Are those black-clad men wearing hats Great Feng Mafia Family disciples?”
“They don’t seem like it.”
“Ah! Look. That black-clad man wearing a hat there killed a Great Feng Mafia Family disciple!”
“Ah! Another killed one over there too!”
“It’s happening there! Look! Over there!”
The watching gamblers immediately broke out in a loud commotion.
Although Scar was instructed to assassinate the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples quietly, this was not the forte of the evil men. They only could restrain the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples, preventing them from speaking.
While the nearby Great Feng Mafia Family disciples did not notice it, the gamblers watching from the mountaintops could. From their vantage point, they could clearly see many places.
“What faction is that? Are they taking advantage of the chaos?”
“Are they the enemies of the Great Feng Mafia Family?”
“What are they doing?”
“That’s not right. They are systematically killing the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples. Look, that is just an advance party there to assassinate the disciples guarding the place. The main troops are behind!”
The many gamblers noticed Gu Hai and his group. If there were just eight to ten people, they would be unremarkable. However, this group numbered almost two thousand. Such a large group naturally looked grand and majestic.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! That black-clad man leading the group. That figure?” said Ninth Young Master, who was on a peak, while narrowing his eyes.
“Ah? Ninth Young Master, do you know this group of people?” one of Ninth Young Master’s subordinates asked, feeling curious.
“I don’t know them. However, the figure of the leader seems very familiar. I just can’t place my finger on it,” Ninth Young Master said, frowning.
——
Gu Hai slowly led the group of evil men towards the beast arena, closing in to occupy an important position.
Scar suddenly appeared nearby, rushing over.
“Milord, it is almost done. Most of the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples sent to guard the place were low ranked, mostly in the lower layers of the Innate Realm. They were easy to deal with.” Scar smiled confidently.
The various Profound Legion evil men succeeded in their assassination and regrouped one by one.
Gu Hai nodded gently, not showing much concern.
Soon, the group arrived at the edge of the beast arena and occupied an excellent position.
When standing at this place, the group could see everything in the beast arena.
“Milord, all the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples on guard duty should be dealt with already. This is the only place left,” Gao Xianzhi said respectfully.
“Two thousand Great Feng Mafia Family disciples? Haha!” Gu Hai let out cold laughter.
Then, he slowly raised his right hand.
Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!
A group of evil men raised their bows and nocked arrows before drawing their bows. Their eyes shone with a cold light as they waited for Gu Hai’s command.
——
The many gamblers on the mountains goggled. Only now did they understand how terrifying the black-clad men before them were.
“Do they want to eradicate the Great Feng Mafia Family?”
“All the Great Feng Mafia Family disciple guards have been dealt with already?”
“They are now drawing their bows and aiming at the beast arena. It looks like they want to eradicate the Great Feng Mafia Family!”
“Who are they? What a sinister and ruthless group of people!”
The countless surrounding gamblers broke out in a cold sweat as they looked at the scene before them.
Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Nearly all the evil men that arrived drew their bows fully, showing hatred on their faces as they stared at the beast arena.
“What is that sound?” a Great Feng Mafia Family disciple in the beast arena said with a frown.
As the battle in the beast arena was too loud, most of the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples could not hear any other sounds.
“Enemy attack! The evil men escaped!” Suddenly, a loud voice came from the forest.
That shout immediately overwhelmed all the other sounds.
Gu Hai’s expression turned cold as he looked at Scar.
Scar’s expression changed. “Milord, this subordinate failed in his duty. We must have let one slip!”
“Never mind!” Gu Hai nodded.
After all, there were too many people. It would be hard to avoid some slip-ups.
“Enemy attack! The evil men escaped!” The scream rang out in the air, immediately reaching the ears of everyone in the beast arena.
“What?!” All the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples’ expressions changed as they turned around.
“Release!”
Gu Hai ferociously swung his right hand down.
When the evil men received the command, they immediately released their Veritable-Energy-infused arrows.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, many Veritable-Energy-infused arrows rained down like meteors, flying towards the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples in the beast arena.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
The Great Feng Mafia Family disciples quickly raised their swords to block. However, the arrow rain came too quickly. The arrows managed to pierce holes in many of the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples.
“How unfortunate! Not all of the evil men’s archery skills are good. Even at such a close range, they actually missed most of their shots.” Gao Xianzhi frowned.
“Again!” Gu Hai shouted.
“Yes!” the two thousand five hundred-odd evil men shouted.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another rain of arrows flew out again.
“Quickly run! Ah!”
“Oh no! The evil men escaped and recovered their cultivation?”
“How could it be like this?”
“Quickly run! Ah!”
The expressions of the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples changed dramatically. Everyone knew how terrifying the evil men were. They were all ruthless people. Since the arrows were infused with Veritable Energy, it meant that they had recovered their cultivation. Under these circumstances, the disciples definitely could not outfight them, so it was better to run.
The Great Feng Mafia Family disciples fled in horror.
“Toss your bows aside and charge!” Gu Hai shouted.
“Charge!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The two thousand-odd evil men immediately charged down like ferocious tigers pouncing ruthlessly. They also tossed aside their hats, revealing their masks.
Boom! The two sides started fighting each other.
“Die!”
“Move aside!”
Rumble…!
Less than one thousand Great Feng Mafia Family disciples remained after the arrow rain. However, the evil men had endured many years of anger. How could the evil men let them off?
All these evil men had climbed out of the pit of death, all of them ferocious and vicious people who could fight against ten on their own. When they fought, they were absolutely ruthless.
Rip!
One of the evil men tore one of the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples apart; that disciple’s blood splattered the ground.
“How dare you feed us rats?! How dare you whip us?! How dare you harm us?!”
“I swore long ago to kill you all. I want revenge!”
“Die!”
The evil men frantically slaughtered the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples. The Great Feng Mafia Family disciples could only scream in horror.
“Ah! Don, save us!”
“My arm! Let me go! Let me go! Argh!”
“Don, save us!”
Horrified shrieks rang out outside the beast arena.
——
Inside the beast arena, the expression of Li Wei, who was suppressing Meng Tai, suddenly changed. When he looked up, he saw a group of masked men killing the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples.
“Bastards!” Li Wei’s expression changed, looking like he wanted to leave the beast arena.
As Gu Hai stood on a high platform, he suddenly said coldly, “Meng Tai, I’m here to help you. Delay Li Wei!”
The pupils of Meng Tai, who had collapsed in a pool of his blood, suddenly constricted when he heard Gu Hai’s voice.
“Hah!”
Meng Tai endured the pain and pounced at Li Wei.
“Out of the way!” Li Wei glared as he swung his sword.
“Hah!”
Meng Tai endured the pain, quickly caught the sword with a claw. Then, a sharp light flew at Li Wei.
Shing!
Meng Tai’s blood spattered into the air. However, Meng Tai’s lifeforce was too strong, and he was too stubborn. With a ferocious expression, he continued to charge forward, disregarding his injuries.
“Hah!”
The two started fighting again. The edge of Li Wei’s sword left wounds on Meng Tai’s body again and again.
“Don’t! Don’t!” Feng Ling clutched her head in pain as she watched the two brutally attack each other. “Who am I?! I’m Yue Yao! I’m Yue Yao! Who am I?! Stop fighting! Stop fighting!”
Feng Ling seemed to be going crazy.
——
Outside the beast arena:
The evil men’s battles were the most savage. The evil men killed all those who stubbornly resisted. Some of the evil men seemed to recognize certain Great Feng Mafia Family disciples. Hence, they opened their mouths and hatefully bit into those disciples’ flesh, tearing the disciples’ flesh off and even swallowing it. The scene looked incredibly cruel.
The severely injured Great Feng Mafia Family disciples were beaten into submission and restrained at one side.
The battles proceeded extremely quickly and extremely ferociously. The evil men outnumbered their opponents. Furthermore, they were all ruthless and vicious evil men. In the blink of an eye, the battles approached the end. Most of the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples were dead. A portion of the disciples could no longer fight. The evil men just restrained the disciples and tossed them aside.
Surrounded by a group of evil men, Gu Hai slowly made his way to the very front of the beast arena.
“Move aside!” Li Wei roared with a ferocious expression.
Boom!
One hundred sword qi struck Meng Tai, opening one hundred bloody wounds as they sent him flying with a mangled body.
Bang!
The mangled Meng Tai fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. He no longer had any strength left.
Lying in a pool of blood, Meng Tai looked at Feng Ling and revealed a bleak smile. “Feng Ling. Cough! Cough! Cough! My Feng Ling!”
Feng Ling turned her head to look at Meng Tai. Meng Tai appeared to be on his last breath, like he would die at any moment. Her body suddenly shook as she walked over to Meng Tai, moving step by step.
“Don, save us!” the heavily injured Great Feng Mafia Family disciples cried out miserably.
Rumble…!
Li Wei flew out of the beast arena and looked around. The Great Feng Mafia Family disciples were nearly completely wiped out.
Li Wei showed rage on his face as he stared at Gu Hai, who was surrounded by the evil men.
“You bunch of rats actually managed to escape?” Li Wei said with a sinister expression as he held up his sword.
Li Wei’s Nascent Soul Realm aura erupted, forming what seemed like a tornado around his body. His Veritable Energy manifested a huge tortoise monster with a malevolent face. It unleashed a turbulent, vicious aura that felt like an overwhelming sea wave surging over, wanting to wash everyone away and smash them to pieces.
“If we are rats, then what are the Great Feng Mafia Family disciples who were destroyed by rats? Smelly worms?” Gu Hai stepped forward with a ferocious expression.
When Gu Hai stepped forward, the four legates followed behind nervously. All the evil men showed ferocious expressions. Although they could not resist the Nascent Soul Realm aura, they did not show any fear in the face of it.
