Chapter 8 Everyone wants him dead
Chapter 8 Everyone wants him dead
The gazes of Wang Jinghai and Mo Qi met in midair, as if the audience could feel the fiery gaze colliding with each other.
"Damn it!" "If Wang Jinghai and Mo Qi could fight, then this trip would not have been in vain!" One of the spectators clenched his fists and said excitedly.
Afterwards, it was Xiang Nan's turn to enter the 16th match.
After Xiang Nan and Zhang Chuang stepped onto the arena at the same time, the referee deliberately announced, "Since Xiang Nan has signed a life and death treaty, killing Xiang Nan is not against the rules."
The scene immediately burst into applause! This was the kind of thrilling, hot-blooded competition everyone wanted!
These spectators didn't care about human lives at all. They even hoped that the two sides would fight to the death.
A youth's death arena represented a sad end to his short life, but to the audience, it was just a good performance, a conversation after tea.
The indifference in the hearts of the people had already reached this level.
What was even more exaggerated was that a large number of spectators had voluntarily set up a gamble! Moreover, it was a gamble specifically aimed at Xiang Nan.
The bet was when Xiang Nan would die! How many battles did he die in! Moreover, the odds were astonishingly low. The number of spectators betting on Xiang Nan's victory was zero!
There were a total of 20,000 spectators at the town election. Everyone bet, but none of them voted for Xiang Nan to leave the town election alive.
"Xiang Nan!" A spectator stood up and shouted at Xiang Nan, "I bet half of my worth on you! You must die in the first match!"
"If you die in the second match, I will lose a lot of money!"
Another spectator stood up and laughed, "I will only die if I suppress you in the second match. Xiang Nan, even if you are beaten like a dead dog, you must climb out of the arena. Don't die in the first match!"
Zhang Chuang smiled and said, "Xiang Nan, you should just admit defeat. I don't want to offend the Wang Clan by killing you. I just need you to kneel down and call me Grandpa and I'll let you go."
"Oh right, I heard that your grandfather is a cripple. I presume that you are also a cripple. Why bother to humiliate yourself?"
The reality was such an irony. In the past, the Xiang Clan was a clan where many people were kneeling and crawling to curry favor. Now, the trees were scattered and the walls were pushed down by the crowd.
Xiang Nan smiled faintly. He took out his spear and said, "Leave this to you."
"I really don't know what's good for me." Zhang Chuang shook his head and rushed towards Xiang Nan with his sword in hand, "Grandpa, I gave you a chance, but you gave me no face! No wonder I was ruthless!"
The moment Zhang Chuang rushed forward, the entire audience held their breaths, feeling extremely nervous.
The youngsters from the Wang Clan, Mo Clan, Li Clan, and the three great clans also frowned. They didn't want Xiang Nan to die at the hands of anyone else.
"Try this move of mine, Moon Setting Slash!" Zhang Chuang shouted as he drew a large arc on the sword in his hand and slashed towards Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan raised his hand and shot! This spear actually sent Zhang Chuang flying with his sword!
Zhang Chuangpu coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body flew off like a flying spin, falling out of the arena in a spiral shape!
The entire arena was completely silent
One move!
Everyone was stunned. They couldn't even find an adjective to describe their shock at this moment.
Xiang Nan walked to the edge of the arena alone and said to Zhang Chuang, who was lying half dead on the ground, "Who did you call trash just now? Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly."
Zhang Chuang's throat rumbled a few times, but he didn't say a word. Blood flowed out of his mouth.
The young experts of the three great clans looked at each other, but they did not react after a long time.
The next match was still very long. Xiang Nan simply sat cross-legged and began to taste his thunder vein talent.
According to Xiang Nan's own actual exploration, if he activated his Lightning Meridian Innate, his strength would instantly triple to a terrifying level! That was 6,300 jin! This is the current limit.
Of course, the price of doing so is also very high, and that is to burn a large number of pre-weather.
Therefore, when fighting, you should try to minimize unnecessary consumption and avoid overloading your Lightning Meridian stats.
Xiang Nan didn't even watch a single match in the next arena match, so he didn't care.
However, it was worth mentioning that the Li Clan had produced a genius, Li Lingfeng! This person did not have the affinity of the Five Elements, but his talent was spiritual!
Mortal, Spirit, Earth, Heaven! With four levels of talent, the higher the level, the greater the potential of a martial artist.
Although Li Lingfeng did not possess the affinity of the Five Elements, just his talent in the Mortal Stage had already caused everyone to go crazy with envy.
As expected, Li Lingfeng, a 16-year-old Xiantian 4-dan expert, defeated his opponent by an overwhelming margin.
After a total of 160 groups of matches were played, it was already late. All the contestants rested for one night and continued the next day.
Of the 320 people, 160 were eliminated, leaving 116.
The next day, the competition continued. One hundred and sixty contestants drew lots for the second round.
Xiang Nan also picked an insignificant figure and won, while the other contestants' matches were no longer fresh.
One hundred and sixty people, eighty eliminated, leaving eighty people. Among them, Xiang Nan won and advanced.
That afternoon, the third round of elimination began and ended successfully. Forty people were eliminated, leaving 40 people. Xiang Nan still advanced.
These forty people were definitely eligible to enter the city.
However, it was worth mentioning that in all three matches, Xiang Nan had defeated his enemies in one move! Moreover, he had never really used the spear in his hand.
This gave the audience a huge amount of expectation! Was Xiang Nan lucky or was his strength heaven-defying?
Obviously, after the three matches, Xiang Nan had caused all the spectators to lose all their money, and the biggest winner was the City Lord.
But in the end, the next stage of the competition truly ignited the enthusiasm of all the spectators.
This was because this stage of the competition was a competition for the top forty spots! Moreover, the rules of the competition were extremely exaggerated!
The referee stood on the arena and raised a finger. "At this stage, the top 40 contestants are going to have a wheel battle!"
The cheers of the spectators were deafening when they heard the words "Chariot Battle".
The referee waited for a long time. After the cheers, he continued, "Let the audience vote for a contestant. The first one to stand on the arena!"
"Then, let the other contestants take the initiative to challenge him! If the first contestant wins, then stay on the arena and continue to meet other contestants' challenges until he loses, or until he wins completely!"
This was another big bomb! The audience cheered and roared, the veins on their necks bulging.
This kind of rule was clearly eye-catching! And it was aimed at Xiang Nan! Because even with his toes, he could imagine who the audience would vote for first!
It was also because of this rule that the gambling game was opened again! Similarly, none of the spectators placed a bet on Xiang Nan, because Xiang Nan could not leave alive!
Xiang Nan's support rate was still … zero!
Those spectators who had lost money earlier would not hesitate to bet more chips on Xiang Nan's death!
"Alright." The referee clapped his hands and said, "Voting begins."
The results came out.
Of the 23,000 spectators present, 22,940 voted for Xiang Nan! Only sixty people voted for someone else.
After the referee announced the result of the election, the atmosphere at the scene instantly exploded!
