Chapter 96: Slaughter! Bone Fist Impact!

Chapter 96: Slaughter! Bone Fist Impact!



On both sides of the colossal arena, two flags were planted.

On the left flag, the words "Defend the Arena" were written.

And on the right, "Death Match" was boldly displayed!

Even though the Death Match mode hadn't commenced, a heavy and ominous atmosphere had already started to permeate the arena.

"Zhao Zheng!!"

Upon seeing the words "Death Match," Song Haitang's delicate face lost its composure.

Although she had been eliminated and hadn't witnessed any prompts from the Spirit Realm, her hearing was exceptional, and she had just overheard the whispers around her, understanding the nature of the Death Match mode.

"They say there's no way out in Death Match? Why would you choose this?"

The girl was deeply worried.

Jiang Hebin and the others also looked at Zhao Zheng with disbelief.

"Because I promised Chairman Song to take care of you!"

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Anyone who dares to harm you will pay the price. I won't let them get away."

"Zhao Zheng..."

Song Haitang felt touched but also regretted.

Earlier, when she had helped bandage him, if Zhao Zheng wanted to see more, she could have let him look a little longer...

"Rest assured! If this was a gathering of top-tier powerhouses, I wouldn't dare to court death like this. But we're all freshmen, and I believe anyone capable of killing me won't appear here."

"Choosing Death Match is also to scare off the contestants from our human camp. I don't want to eliminate them all..."

As Zhao Zheng spoke, he stood up and addressed the crowd, "I'm going up. Wait for me to return."

His voice trailed off.

His figure vanished from the spectator stand, appearing on the Death Match arena!

...

As the champion, Zhao Zheng, stepped onto the stage, every eye in the arena was fixed on him.

In the Human Sector:

"Is that really him? Has this wimp gone crazy? He doesn't need to go this far to die."

"I'm not surprised he's acting foolish. After all, he's the one who gave away the Burning Fruit; his brain must be messed up. What puzzles me is, why would Song Haitang let him compete?"

"Yeah! Defending the arena requires the support of the entire team. Why would she let this idiot go and die?"

"Hmph... Maybe Song Haitang is tired of him and wants a new toy. That's why she's sending this fool to his death."

"Can't you think straight? Right now, their team's points are all on him. Song Haitang's team probably has around twenty to thirty points. If we take him out, we'll rise to the top of the Human Sector's ranking."

"... Let's not rush. Since he dares to do this, there must be something to him again."

He was the captain.

Since he had made a decision, the others somewhat respected it.

Thus, Ma Jun's team made no moves.

...

On the arena.

Zhao Zheng stepped onto the stage, but instead of provoking the demons and monsters right away, he intended to observe how many would come forward.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't the demons and monsters who rushed in, but humans, eager to take his life.

Zhao Zheng's expression darkened, his annoyance evident.

This was a time for unity against foreign threats!

Why the rush?

His gaze turned icy, focusing on those who had climbed onto the arena.

There were over twenty people on the stage.

All were unfamiliar faces, mostly white and black individuals.

The skinny short guy on the left seemed familiar to Zhao Zheng; he might be a celebrity from the Philippines.

The one emitting green light was hard to miss; it was the Federation's powerful seed, the "Green Light Hero"!

But the one at the forefront, dressed in a kimono, caught his attention.

Only a specific type of person would wear such clothing.

Wokou!

"Excellent!"

Zhao Zheng's eyes grew colder.

If these humans sought death, he would oblige.

The only silver lining was that none of the twenty-plus individuals seemed to be from Xia Nation.

As the crowd rushed towards him, Zhao Zheng made his move.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound reverberated.

Zhao Zheng lifted his foot and stomped the ground.

The sturdy arena surface around his foot cracked inch by inch, spreading like a spider web.

This display of power startled the humans.

The forward charge of the twenty-plus individuals abruptly halted.

Zhao Zheng achieved the intimidating effect he desired.

He didn't want to engage with these humans yet, preferring to conceal his strength to deter other monsters from approaching.

His primary goal was to lure monsters first.

Especially the Tri-Eye!

Once there were enough participants, he would massacre them all and earn a substantial score.

"You all better wait and see! I'll deal with you later!" Zhao Zheng said coldly.

After this statement, his gaze shifted to the demon and monster zones.

As for the twenty-plus humans, Zhao Zheng wasn't concerned about them fleeing.

Anyone who stepped onto the arena was a participant and couldn't surrender or leave.

Then, in full view of the audience...

Zhao Zheng raised both hands, aiming his left at the demon zone and his right at the monster zone, and gave a thumbs-up...

The crowd thought he was about to praise the demons and monsters!

But then...

Zhao Zheng swiftly flipped his wrists, and his thumbs pointed downward!

Wow!

Everyone was stunned by this blatant provocation, simple yet highly effective.

The context made all the difference.

In private, few demons or monsters would fall for such a trick.

But in the arena, under everyone's gaze...

If the demons and monsters didn't react to this provocation, they would lose face.

Instantly, the demon and monster zones erupted in chaos.

Though not human, they understood this simple gesture.

Strange roars and howls filled the arena, making it lively.

The angry and indignant expressions on the monsters and demons made it seem like they wanted to rush up and tear Zhao Zheng apart.

...

"He's gone mad! Completely insane!"

"What's he trying to do? Isn't his death tragic enough?"

"Maybe we misunderstood him! Perhaps he's a hidden powerhouse, confident in his strength."

"Even if he's a hidden powerhouse, isn't this still suicidal? He's just one person; how many can he withstand?"

"Wow! Regardless of this guy's fate, at least his courage is admirable."

The human zone buzzed with discussions.

Though unsure of Zhao Zheng's intentions, they were impressed.

Among the demons, one laughed heartily.

It was the Tri-Eye!

Only it understood Zhao Zheng's thoughts.

It even realized that Zhao Zheng was very similar to itself, both craving slaughter.

If it were defending the arena, it might have done the same.

...

On the arena, Zhao Zheng saw the atmosphere heating up and smiled.

His simple provocative gesture was well-thought-out, considering the racial differences.

If the provocation were too complex, the demons and monsters might not understand...

His intention wasn't to boast, but to lure monsters.

He wanted a big score, securing the top champion spot in the Three-Race Combat Tournament!

To prevent being overtaken by later participants and losing the championship.

The Defend the Arena mode lasted three hours.

After his turn, others would have two more chances.

(Chapter End)

If he could only win the championship in the Human Sector, the highest he could achieve would be an S-Rank Task Evaluation...

But he wanted an SSS-Rank Task Evaluation.

Zhao Zheng's gaze searched the Demon Race area, and he quickly found the Tri-Eye.

This guy was laughing at him!

With a punchable face...

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng also smiled.

The next moment!

Zhao Zheng waved at the Tri-Eye, beckoning him to the arena!

The Tri-Eye hesitated for a moment, then burst into laughter, looking extremely excited.

...

"Boom!"

A loud noise suddenly reverberated throughout the arena.

A ten-meter-tall One-Eyed Giant leaped into the arena.

It was said that this One-Eyed Giant was the offspring of a Monster King.

As soon as the giant stepped onto the arena, its single eye, as big as a basketball, locked onto Zhao Zheng with murderous intent.

With the One-Eyed Giant taking the lead!

Other Monsters and Demons also jumped into the arena.

In no time, over a thousand Demons and Monsters crowded the arena.

Those who dared to step onto the arena at this moment were all finalists.

In other words, they were experts!

A thousand experts chasing after one person, what a scene was this?

Seeing this spectacle, the humans were all astonished, and then mourned silently for Zhao Zheng.

Many powerful freshmen who were initially eager to join the battle also gave up their plans.

"Sister Haitang, what is Big Zhao doing?"

"Why doesn't Big Zhao just defend the arena? If he successfully lasts for an hour, he'll get a thousand points, which is enough for us to win the championship! Why is he doing this?"

Jiang Hebin and the others asked in unison.

The scene in the arena was simply too insane.

One person against a thousand experts? They wouldn't dare to dream of such audacity, even in their wildest dreams!

Song Haitang's gaze remained fixed on the arena.

Hearing their words, a hint of worry crept onto her pretty face.

"No matter what Zhao Zheng is planning, we can only watch and do nothing."

Yes.

They were all eliminated contestants.

Even if they wanted to help, they couldn't step onto the arena.

...

On the arena.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng was completely surrounded by Demons and Monsters.

You could say he was entirely encircled.

Even the twenty-plus humans couldn't make their way through and were pushed to the outskirts...

Facing a thousand gazes filled with anger.

Zhao Zheng's face remained calm.

His gaze remained locked onto the Tri-Eye in the Demon Race area, waiting for it to step up.

The Tri-Eye seemed to understand Zhao Zheng's intention.

After a moment's thought.

The Tri-Eye stood up.

Then, it took a step forward and effortlessly leaped onto the arena!

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng finally revealed a sinister smile!

Damn it, now that you're on the stage, you can't escape!

When the Tri-Eye stepped onto the arena.

The surrounding Demons made way, forming a path.

Some Monsters were intimidated by the Tri-Eye's aura and stepped aside, revealing Zhao Zheng.

Then.

The Tri-Eye stared directly at Zhao Zheng and spoke in a gibberish Demon language.

Of course, Zhao Zheng didn't understand the Demon language.

But in the Spirit Realm, he miraculously understood.

"You've always wanted me to come out, do you want to challenge me?"

This was the meaning of the Tri-Eye's words.

No!

I want to slaughter you!

This was Zhao Zheng's thought.

But at this moment, he had no interest in a verbal sparring with the Tri-Eye.

Since the prey was all gathered, Zhao Zheng didn't need to pretend anymore!

Zhao Zheng slightly bent his legs, assuming a posture of gathering strength...

The next moment!

"Boom!"

The ground shattered!

The entire arena trembled!

The arena within a hundred meters radius cracked!

A huge pit appeared in the center.

Many surrounding monsters were injured.

And this was just the effect of Zhao Zheng's single leap!

Under the tremendous counterforce, Zhao Zheng's body soared into the sky.

Sharp-eyed spectators could see that his fists had turned pitch-black!

This was the Armed Color Domination!

When Zhao Zheng soared several hundred meters high and began to descend.

His pitch-black right fist flickered with a crimson glow.

Bone Fist Impact was charging!

An unprecedented terrifying aura emanated from Zhao Zheng, enveloping the entire arena!

At this moment!

Everyone felt the pressure of a top-tier expert from Zhao Zheng!

Simultaneously!

Everyone also had a premonition that an unparalleled strike was about to land!

The entire arena was in awe!
