Chapter Four, Sixth-Rank Demon Beast King
Seeing Li Shuguang and Mu Chengxuan with their confident expressions, Ning Yuan remained calm. He was well aware of the rules of the Blood Fiend Arena. Generally speaking, there would not be overly powerful beasts in the beast fights, and the system held a very high evaluation of Dian Wei's card. His combat power, one could say, would not be too weak. As long as his luck was not exceedingly poor, he should be guaranteed victory
Meanwhile, Ji Wushuang pulled Ning Yuan to the foot of the martial arts platform and said directly: "Elder brother, hurry up and go up to the martial arts platform, do not engage in this contest of pride."
At this moment, Ji Wushuang could not help but stop the action of pulling Ning Yuan down from the martial arts stage, staring blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the stage, her gaze shifting.
Moreover, this time against the Iron Bear, it is still that notorious good-for-nothing from Xianyang City, the worthless young master of the Ning family, Ning Yuan
Elder brother. Upon seeing Ning Yuan agree so readily, Ji Wushuang's expression changed involuntarily. This is no joke; setting aside the outcome of the martial arts arena, just these bets alone are worth several tens of millions of taels. Although the Ning family is large and prosperous, they cannot afford such a loss.
What kind of person is this young master Ning? He is well-known throughout the entire Xianyang City, excelling in drinking, gambling, and debauchery. However, when it comes to combat, he is likely inferior even to a woman. Even if Ji Wushuang were to give him the exquisite and extraordinary Linglong Sword, this good-for-nothing would still be incapable of slaying a single demon beast, not even the weakest one.
As for whether any unforeseen circumstances might arise, Ning Yuan has also considered this. Ji Wushuang is right beside him; if he truly cannot hold on, she will definitely not stand by and do nothing. Having used the Dian Wei card, he should be able to hold on until she takes action
However, at this moment, Ning Yuan had already stepped forward, gathered all those items, and then turned to run to Ji Wushuang's side, stuffing everything into her arms, before saying: "Wushuang, make sure to take a good look at this, for it is all earned by me"
In response, Ji Wushuang did not even glance at him and directly pulled Ning Yuan aside
Good! Seeing Ning Yuan agree so readily, Mu Chengfei smiled and said: Since we have made a bet, we must discuss the rules. In this beast fight, only the one who slays the demon beast will be considered the victor. If at any point Brother Ning cannot hold on and concedes defeat, or if Miss Ji intervenes, then it will be counted as you losing, Brother Ning.
In the cage, a giant bear was sleeping. Its body was robust and massive, resembling a mountain lying down, majestic and imposing. The pitch-black fur shimmered with a cold luster akin to steel, and its sharp claws emitted a chilling gleam, possessing the power to tear everything apart
However, Ji Wushuang, who was beside them, had no intention of paying them any mind. She stood up directly and said to Ning Yuan: "Elder brother, come down!"
So in this sure-win gamble, how can one not bet
Seeing Ning Yuan still ready to fight, the guard of the Blood Fiend Arena said nothing further, directly tearing off the talisman that was suppressing the head of the Iron Fury Bear, and then swiftly retreated.
At this moment, Li Shuguang and others also came to their senses and coldly said: "Gamble, how can we not gamble? We are just afraid that you will back down. By the way, Young Master Mu, would you like to place a bet as well? After all, the Ning family is wealthy and can afford to lose."
You ... ..." Upon hearing this, the two women were filled with anger, yet they dared not speak further, for the sword energy from earlier had already injured their internal organs. With this alone, they understood that they were no match for Ji Wushuang.
Within the shattered confines of the prison, the Ironstorm Bearman rose, emanating an endless aura of fury, and charged out towards Ningyuan with a wild roar
"Impudent!" Hearing Ning Yuan's words, Mu Chengfei's expression remained unchanged, but the two women behind him were filled with rage. They shouted coldly and stepped forward, their powerful energy surging forth like waves, sweeping towards Ning Yuan.
However, at that very moment when the two women moved, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ning Yuan. With the exquisite and ethereal sword in hand, he let out a long cry, and in an instant, an extremely cold sword energy erupted violently, directly cutting into the force unleashed by the two women.
These two are not Mu Chengfei's maids, but rather his junior sisters, who also come from the Ten Absolute Pavilion. Although they are not direct disciples, they are inner sect disciples, and their martial arts cultivation has reached the sixth rank, sufficient to condense true energy and separate it from the body. At this moment, upon hearing Ning Yuan insult Mu Chengfei, they were filled with rage and directly took action. Their profound true energy surged forth like a powerful wave, far beyond what Ning Yuan could withstand.
If Ning Yuan were to be torn to pieces by the Iron Fury Bear, then Ji Wushuang would have to chop them all up, wouldn't she
At this moment, Mu Chengfei also came to his senses. Looking at the cold expression of Ji Wushuang, a hint of bitter smile appeared on his face. He stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Wushuang, it was my two junior sisters who were disrespectful just now. I sincerely apologize."
If you bring such a ferocious iron bear here, it is no longer a contest of martial skills, but rather a blatant act of murder
Therefore, this Iron Violent Bear is also known as the Sixth-Rank Demon Beast King, and its combat power is sufficient to rival that of a Fifth-Rank demon beast
The boiling fresh blood seemed to evoke something, as a gradually rising crimson light, akin to blood, appeared in Ning Yuan's eyes; it was the spirit of battle, and even more so, a thirst for slaughter
With a low growl, Ning Yuan stepped forward, his boundless battle intent surging like a furious wave, pressing down on the surroundings into a profound silence
Saying this, Ning Yuan turned around and shouted to Li Shuguang and the others: "Hey, are we still betting?"
At this moment, Ning Yuan is still Ning Yuan, but he is also the fierce warrior who traverses the battlefield, Dian Wei
It is precisely for this reason that everyone was taken aback, including Mu Chengfei, who did not expect Ning Yuan to choose an Iron Violent Bear.
As he spoke, Mu Chengfei took out a small box and opened it, revealing a pearl that was entirely deep blue, exuding an aura reminiscent of the ocean's tides, so much so that even from a distance, one could feel the abundant spiritual energy it contained
When did this Blood Fiend Arena capture a Steel Violent Bear?
Ironstorm Bear
Sixth-Rank Demon Beast King
The cold voice of the system echoed, and in the next moment, an extremely violent force suddenly erupted within Ning Yuan, instantly spreading to his limbs and bones, as well as his internal organs. In just an instant, Ning Yuan felt as if the blood within his body was boiling, like the magma during a volcanic eruption, surging with boundless power
With a flick of the spiritual talisman, the iron-clad bear slowly opened its tightly shut eyes, revealing a sea of crimson filled with boundless wild ferocity. Following this, a thunderous roar erupted, and its colossal body rose in fury, sweeping its massive claws to directly tear apart the steel prison that had confined it.
This is the power of Chiyou's blood, a trace of the ancient demon god's bloodline, which has now been awakened. At the same time, countless pieces of information surged in Ning Yuan's mind, representing countless battles, countless instances of blood-soaked combat instincts!
Come!
Is there still any suspense in this matter
Hmm! Ning Yuan's intrusion caused Mu Chengfei's expression to change slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said to Ning Yuan in a calm voice: "Brother Ning, it seems that you have a deep prejudice against Chengfei."
As the black cloth was unveiled, the gazes of those around involuntarily sharpened, and Ji Wushuang tightened her grip on the exquisite Immortal Linglong Sword in her hand
Boom
Meanwhile, Li Shuguang and others were not concerned about Ning Yuan's actions; they certainly understood that Ning Yuan's confidence in their bet must be backed by some hidden card. But so what?
Use Hero Card · Dian Wei
Soon, the guards of the Blood Fiend Arena swiftly stepped forward and directly tore open the black cloth
Yet Ning Yuan showed no fear, stepping forward to confront the oncoming Ironstorm Bear.
A loud roar echoed, a powerful force swept through, and dust and sand flew up. The two women were struck by the sword energy, instantly sustaining injuries and staggering backward.
The strength of Ji Wushuang is incredibly formidable; not to mention Mu Chengfei, even his elder brother, the Sword God’s heir Mu Chengxuan, would not be a match for Ji Wushuang
Although the current Ning Yuan has crossed over, he has been influenced to some extent by his predecessor. How could the young master Ning, who was literally killed by Ying Ying and Mu Chengfei, have any fondness for Mu Chengxuan, the brother of that Mu Chengfei? Not to mention that this pretty boy actually dares to set his sights on Ji Wushuang; how could Ning Yuan possibly tolerate that?
With a single sword strike, he repelled two individuals. Ji Wushuang's expression was cold and frosty as he said: "If you dare to attack my brother again, I will show no mercy under my sword"
A spiritual talisman was pressed upon its head, causing the king among the demonic beasts to fall into a deep slumber. Yet, even so, an incredibly fierce and malevolent aura still emanated from its enormous body, instilling a sense of dread in those who beheld it
Upon hearing this, Mu Chengfei also smiled, looked towards Ning Yuan, and said: "Hehe, since Brother Ning is so confident, I cannot dampen your spirits, count me in."
In the midst of contemplation, the several guards of the bloodthirsty arena have replaced the wild wolf with a sealed steel cage, which is further concealed by black cloth surrounding it
It is precisely for this reason that everyone is so shocked; how could there be an Iron Violent Bear in the Bloodthirsty Arena? It should be noted that in previous beast fights, the strongest demon beasts were only at the sixth rank.
This is unacceptable. Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan quickly voiced his refusal. He had put in so much effort to finally trick those few gullible fools; how could he just let it go?
Upon thinking of this, not only Ning Yuan but also the gazes of those around him became somewhat tense, fixated on the iron cage concealed by the black cloth
If he encounters weaker demon beasts, there is naturally no need to say much. However, if Ning Yuan is somewhat unfortunate and draws certain demon beasts with extremely formidable combat power, then it will be quite a challenge
At this thought, Mu Chengfei and Li Shuguang, among others, suddenly felt a sense of hesitation in their hearts
Ji Wushuang was well aware of how terrifying the Iron Storm Bear was. Even she, without the Absolute Fairy Linglong in hand, would likely be unable to slay this beast king. As for Ning Yuan, there was no need to elaborate; even with the protection of the Snow Cold Jade, it would be impossible for him to preserve his life under the claws of the Iron Storm Bear.
Although there are certain risks involved in doing so, without risks, it cannot be called a gamble. As the saying goes, a person fights for a breath of air, and a Buddha fights for a stick of incense. Ning Yuan is not inherently a person who is good at enduring, and coupled with the accumulated resentment within this body, if he does not play a game with this group of bastards today, how can Ning Yuan be satisfied
Mu Chengfei held the box and said with a faint smile: "This sea spirit pearl is produced in the Northwest Bohai Kingdom. It contains the spiritual energy of the sea. When worn, it can enhance the cultivation speed by fifty percent for those below the fifth rank. Its value is one million. I wonder if Brother Ning dares to accept it or not"
In order to ensure fairness, the beasts selected for the beast fights are all random. Before the cages are opened, no one knows which beast is inside, making luck a significant factor from the very beginning
Upon seeing this, Mu Chengfei's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, yet he could not articulate any further words. Although Ning Yuan had spoken disrespectfully, it was ultimately his two junior sisters who had acted first, placing him in the wrong from the outset
"You don't need to say that." Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan let out a cold laugh and waved his hand, directly agreeing.
Why? Just because this Sea Spirit Pearl can be exchanged for a full two hundred points of spiritual energy value, which is even more than the combined worth of the items from Li Shuguang and his group, how could Ning Yuan possibly let it go
"You are mistaken; I hold no prejudice against you." Ning Yuan stood in front of Ji Wushuang and said with a cold smile, "I wish I could slap you to death, so stay away from me."
If reason does not prevail, and one cannot win in a fight, what can Mu Chengfei do?
Upon the appearance of this Iron Fury Bear, the audience collectively gasped in shock, their expressions filled with terror
However, regarding Ji Wushuang's words, Ning Yuan furrowed his brows; he was uncertain whether he was a match for this Iron Violent Bear, but there was a way to verify it.
You ... ... '' saw that Ning Yuan was not listening to her at all, and Ji Wushuang felt extremely angry in her heart, but more than that, there was helplessness and disappointment.
"Of course, what is there to be afraid of!" As soon as Mu Chengfei finished speaking, Ning Yuan immediately agreed with unwavering determination
Ironstorm Bear, a sixth-grade demon beast, possesses immense strength and a physique as tough as iron. Its terrifying power is sufficient to tear apart any demon beast of the sixth-grade realm. The defense of a demon beast's body is exceptionally formidable. Human martial practitioners, even those at the fifth-grade realm, would not dare to provoke this Ironstorm Bear unless they wielded divine weapons.
