Chapter 587: Bold Defiance
Chapter 587: Bold Defiance
Such a person...
It’s unimaginable what his power will be like once he reaches Level 100!
As the referee pondered over this,
He realized that Ling Zhan, who was supposed to step down, was still standing on the stage.
“Ling Zhan, what are you doing?”
The referee was puzzled.
This was a man who never hesitated, yet now he wasn’t stepping down. Why?
“Referee, I would like to apply to continue directly with the second match!”
“I want my name drawn again! It doesn’t matter who my opponent is!”
“If possible, I’d prefer for all the contestants from these dark organizations to come at me at once! Let’s not waste time!”
Ling Zhan’s indifferent voice echoed across the stage. His cold gaze was fixed on the remaining Sons and Daughters of Saints in the reserve area.
Roar!!
As these words left his lips,
The audience once again erupted in an uproar!
Damn!
He really wanted to take on every single opponent on the other side by himself?
How bold!
The other side still had several top-notch Level 99 contestants!
Their power certainly wasn’t much weaker than Agnes’.
Yet in this situation, he wanted to fight them all?
This guy was really unafraid of death!
The evil organization spectators felt especially insulted!
“Damn! This non-specialist really is arrogant!”
“What can we do? He has the skills to back it up, and we don’t. How many of our people have died at his hands?”
“Yeah... Every single one who faced him has died—and their deaths were tragic, except for that traitor, Livia!”
“I have to admit, he’s terrifying. When I heard that the Demon Arrival Organization had put a bounty on a Level 20-something non-specialist, I laughed. But now, I was the one who was the joke!”
“If only we had taken him out earlier, we wouldn’t be in this mess!”
“You’re right. But now he’s challenging us right at our doorstep, and those Saints need to get up there and fight! Who cares about honor? Just gang up on him! Killing this non-specialist is more important!”
“Exactly! Get on with it!”
The evil organization spectators began to clamor for action.
They no longer cared about any sense of honor.
“All of you, attack together! Don’t give him any chance! This is our last opportunity!”
At that moment,
The vice leader of the Demon Arrival finally spoke up.
In these underground dark organizations,
What was honor worth? Could you eat it?
Initially, they planned to send their fighters one by one. But now that Ling Zhan was confident enough to challenge them all at once,
It played right into their expectations.
Besides...
Looking around now, there were only six Saints left on their side!
From Demon Arrival, there were Li Sheng and Zhong Lan.
The Dark Church had their Son, Kuklate.
The Demon Advocate had their Son, Storm Demon Otto.
And...
The two ‘Dream Speakers’ from the Night’s Whisper organization.
They were members of the Blackbird Clan.
On counting,
They realized that Alfonso, Agnes, Janet, and Livia—four individuals once viewed as the heirs of the dark organizations—had all been defeated by Ling Zhan alone!
Bloodhammer Guild had suffered immense losses this time, losing both of its heirs.
The Cyclops Alfonso and the Curse Warlock Agnes were their strongest young members.
Compared to the other dark organizations, Bloodhammer Guild lacked many resources.
Demon Arrival, the Demon Advocate, and the Dark Church were all old institutions.
Li Sheng, Zhong Lan, Kuklate—these Saints appeared to be their heirs on the surface.
But...
That didn’t mean they were the only heirs!
These insidious old rats always kept an ace up their sleeve!
Which meant...
Even if these Saints were defeated, somewhere in some hidden lab there were heir candidates.
As for Bloodhammer Guild...
They were just a notorious gang of villains.
In terms of heritage, they had a mere two-hundred-year history.
In terms of power, they were miles behind the big three underground organizations.
Getting involved in this mess had cost them dearly. They’d lost all their heirs.
If something happened to their Guild Master, the Guild would likely disband altogether.
The Vice Leader of Bloodhammer, Dos, had veins bulging from his forehead.
He wanted nothing more than to kill the non-specialist standing on the stage.
But...
He could only dream.
He didn’t dare.
After all, the various Legion Commanders from different nations were watching them like hawks.
Dos wanted to kill this non-specialist.
But those commanders wanted to kill him just as much.
If it weren’t for the rules of Underworld Island, those Level 100s would’ve started a fight already.
“Damn it!! Two worthless pieces of trash!”
In the end, Dos could only curse bitterly.
But deep down, he knew...
The two heirs had tried their best.
It was simply that this non-specialist was too strong.
That sword-drawing technique...
Honestly, even Dos—a Level 100—had been completely stunned!
As much as he hated to admit it, if he weren’t at Level 100, he wouldn’t have survived that strike.
Dos would call it the finest sword below Level 100!
Beside him, Andrea shook her head and said, “We must prepare for the worst. If these six together fail, we must be ready to eliminate him ourselves.”
Upon hearing this.
Already feeling aggrieved, Dos retorted, “Andrea, you’re a Level 100 for god’s sake! Why regard a non-specialist so highly? I’ll admit that no one below Level 100 can beat Ling Zhan one-on-one.
“But with six of them, and Ling Zhan’s SS-tier skill on cooldown, how can he possibly win?”
This wasn’t mere bravado.
The other leaders present also believed that their odds of killing Ling Zhan were good!
Primarily because Ling Zhan’s SS-tier skill was now on cooldown.
This was their best opportunity.
“I’ve said enough. If you are so confident, then go ahead.”
Andrea felt thoroughly exhausted and didn’t want to say anything further.
Even now, these people naively believed they could defeat Ling Zhan by joining forces.
Had they not thought about...
Why he would dare let everyone come at him at once?
This man wouldn’t do anything reckless if he wasn’t confident.
His composure...
Was beyond anyone’s imagination.
She even dared to say...
She couldn’t find a single weakness in this man!!
Even though Ling Zhan’s big moves were on cooldown, she still felt their odds of victory were slim.
Whatever...
Hopefully, she was just worrying too much.
.........
On the other side.
The Legion Commanders watched the lone figure on stage with concern in their eyes.
“General Li, are you really letting this kid take on the entire opposing side by himself!?”
The Commander of the Rhine Duchy couldn’t help but ask.
You must understand...
Even though there were only six Saints left,
The opposing side still had some second-tier contestants.
Each side was supposed to have fifty participants.
Apart from those six, ten other contestants around Level 95-97 were still left on the evil side.
Which meant...
Ling Zhan had to face sixteen opponents alone!
Could he really do it?
“Relax, this kid knows what he’s doing!”
“Every task he’s been assigned, when has he not exceeded expectations? Even you old geezers who love to nitpick were left speechless when it came to awarding his honors, weren’t you?”
General Li waved his hand, speaking casually.
His words made the old Level 100s blush.
Ahem...
How could they be called nitpickers?
After all, honors weren’t something to be given out carelessly.
Every bit had to be justified.
To put it bluntly, resources were scarce.
So the merits that could be exchanged for resources had naturally become precious.
If all the merit points were awarded to one person, what about the others from different nations?
But the key was...
Ling Zhan had completed every mission to a superlative level of perfection.
They struggled to find any excuse to withhold even a little bit of his honors!
“Whatever, let’s hope this kid survives!”
“If he continues to grow safely, humanity will gain another peerless powerhouse!”
The Commander of the Rhine Duchy gave up on worrying altogether.
Damn it...
Their own Legion Commander wasn’t even worried.
Why should he, a commander from another country, be concerned?
Meanwhile, the audience was in an uproar.
A classic scene!
Everyone at once!
No time-wasting!
If Ling Zhan had said this in the past, the audience might have thought that this non-specialist was simply arrogant.
But now...
Arrogant? Let him be!
