Chapter 200: I will fight!
The trembling Bloodthirsty Battle Bear gradually slumped to the ground, convulsing as it slowly succumbed to the venom. The agitated state accelerated the spread of the deadly venom within it, hastening its demise.
The stands erupted in a frenzied cheer. The process was brief, from the initial dominance of the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear to the dramatic turn of events where the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion counterattacked and won. However, the warlike demon race could discern what had transpired and naturally cheered for such a combat spectacle.
The colossal figure once again entered the arena.
Yu Xi arrived in the center of the arena, and the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion retreated to one side, hissing as it watched him.
Yu Xi grabbed the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear and disdainfully said, “Trash.” With only the slightest exertion of his arms, he hurled the massive body of the bear over a hundred meters away, tossing it to the side of the arena.
"The next match will be a battle of vassals, a contest between two human vassals. They bear the sin of betraying their masters and have been sentenced to combat in the Grand Beast Arena. This will be their first fight."
While speaking, Yu Xi pointed at the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion, which immediately understood and sprinted toward the already open gate at the side of the arena, quickly disappearing into the passageway.
Then, two figures, much smaller than the previous demonic beasts, emerged from the passageways—unmistakably, two humans.
Both appeared to be human males in their thirties. One was muscular with a bare upper body, while the other was shorter and leaner.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!" As soon as they made their appearance, a chorus of chants for killing rose from the stands."
Seeing the two human vassals entering the arena for the beast fight, Tang San and Zhang Haoxuan almost simultaneously furrowed their brows.
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of the demon race, there was no difference between human vassals and demonic beasts.
With a fierce look in his one eye, Yu Xi let out a strange laugh. “Slaughter! Kill the other, and you may survive. Today\'s contest is singular; victory can be counted toward a streak. This is a special privilege granted to you on this special occasion.”
The two human vassals showed no emotion in response to his words, simply staring silently at him.
Suddenly, they both moved—not toward each other, however, but toward Yu Xi.
The muscular human\'s body shimmered with light and his muscles instantly bulged, his height instantly stretching to four meters. His palms became extraordinarily large, and claws sprang from his fingers. He lunged straight for Yu Xi\'s head, leaping forward in a sprint.
Conversely, the slim man also accelerated simultaneously, moving even faster. As he ran wildly, a pair of wings sprouted from his back, suddenly increasing his speed to the point where his figure seemed almost ghostly. Quickly overtaking his massive “opponent,” he reached behind Yu Xi instantly, his gray-brown claws lunging straight for Yu Xi\'s neck.
Next to Tang San, Zhang Haoxuan had already closed his eyes in anguish.
Tang San could tell that the cultivation levels of these two human vassals were around the sixth order—yes, the sixth.
This was very high for human vassals, and few among them got this far. But their opponent was at the ninth order... and it was the ninth-order Blood Butcher Yu Xi.
Before one could even see how the Blood Butcher did it, two of his four arms, shimmering with an illusory light, had already grabbed the two figures lunging at him.
The attacks of the two human vassals hit him square, but they only left a few white marks on the surface of his skin.
And their bodies were already gripped in the Blood Butcher\'s large hands.
"I intended to let one of you live a few more days, but if you insist on courting death, then so be it," he said.
Yu Xi put more strength in his grip, and amid agonizing screams, the bodies of the two human vassals were twisted and compressed in his palms.
The burly man\'s head was directly crushed, and the slender man\'s entire torso was likewise turned into paste.
Tang San\'s gaze was fixed; he did not close his eyes. Having lived three lifetimes, he had witnessed everything life and death had to offer. Such a scene could not make him panic.
The area was filled with cheers from the demon race, but Tang San\'s heart was colder than ever.
Both human vassals clearly knew they could not survive ten matches in the Great Beast Fighting Arena. Their inevitable end was death. If they managed to last until the final round, their opponent would be Yu Xi. Moreover, being merely sixth order, what chance did they even have to reach the final round? They were simply waiting for death. In their numb eyes, there was no longer any desire to live.
Yu Xi let out a bizarre cackle, casually tossing the two corpses aside and allowing their blood to flow freely.
"Well, that\'s it for the second match. We will proceed with the final beast fight before today\'s auction begins. It will be the most interesting one. Giant Ao Demon Scorpion, return!"
The gates reopened, and the previously departed Giant Ao Demon Scorpion returned, seemingly revitalized, perhaps by some medicine. Its dark purple coloration deepened, its massive pincers waving, exuding a fierce aura.
Yu Xi\'s eyes gleamed a ferocious light, "Next, the third beast fight, will also be today\'s main event. One side will be the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion. The other will emerge from among you."
At these words, the demons cheering suddenly quieted down. What did Yu Xi mean?
"That\'s right, one of you will be randomly selected to participate in the final beast fight against the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion. Victory means winning the scorpion as your prize and
the opportunity to purchase any auction item at half its final price. Exciting, isn\'t it? Hahaha!"They\'re going to choose one of the bidders to fight next?
For all bidders, this was unexpected. After silence, cheers and excited shouts began to erupt from the stands. The atmosphere quickly heated up again.
The demon race revered battle and strength. They loved the excitement and quickly embraced such a thrilling prospect after their shock.
With tens of thousands of demons present, the chances of being selected were minuscule. The powerful ones didn\'t care, and the weaker ones didn\'t believe they would be picked.
"Those selected may refuse. But refusal means cowardice; leave this place and lose your auction rights. We will continue to choose randomly until a brave soul dares to fight," Yu Xi\'s words reassured all the demons. Being selected didn\'t mean one had to fight; they could simply opt out of the auction.
"Then, let us begin!" Dozens of light beams shone from all directions, sweeping the entire stands. However, these lights did not fall on the private boxes, indicating they were not included in the selection.
Suddenly, the beams of light halted, with the majority disappearing, leaving only a single beam shining on the stands.
The demon illuminated by the beam seemed bewildered. It was a leopard demon. Moments ago, it was cheering wildly, but upon being selected, its body stiffened.
Then, it waved its hands frantically, "No, I can\'t do it, I can\'t. I can\'t beat it."
Instantly, a chorus of jeers erupted. Without needing to say anything, the leopard demon covered its face and fled in disgrace amidst the booing. Their kin deeply scorned such cowardice, but cowardice was better than death! It was only at the sixth order. Facing an eighth-order Giant Ao Demon Scorpion was no different from courting death, especially with no weapon other than speed.
"Didn\'t expect the first one chosen to be a coward, so let\'s continue. Until we find a true warrior," the beam of light began to sweep again.
Soon, all the beams narrowed to one, shining on a corner of the stands.
A thin, monkey-like demon stood, seemingly weaker than the previous leopard demon. Immediately, the jeering started again.
The monkey demon slowly stood up, facing the surrounding jeers. Despite his companions\' tugging, he coldly declared, "I will fight!"
As he shouted these three words, his companion couldn\'t help but roar in a low voice, "Are you mad?!?!"
The one chosen by the beam was none other than Tang San!
