The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 203 – Test: Powerlessness (7)
‘Mini Lian Haocun’ along with another shabby-clothed boy, fight the fat-bodied male gladiator, who has a disgusting smile on his face. The fat body figure has a fairly famous designation among the Gladiators, ‘Noble’. Yes, thanks to the hidden figure behind ‘Noble’, ‘Noble' gets the best care that not even the strongest Gladiator, Cerberus, gets.
‘Noble’ twists a sharp dagger in his right hand, while with a relaxed face, trying to reach ‘mini Lian Haocun' who intends to escape. Unfortunately, even though the opponent's body 'Noble' looked fat, his speed was not slow. Up to ‘Noble’ easily catch ‘mini Lian Haocun’ and other boys, who are ‘mini teammate Lian Haocun’ in this match.
With one big hand, ‘Noble’ holds ‘mini Lian Haocun' as well as a boy who has shed tears, because he feels very scared. Looking at the ‘mini Lian Haocun' who did not seem as scared as the other boys, ‘Noble’ narrowed his eyes, then formed a vile smile.
Then, without a word, ‘Noble’ moves his dagger so that it stabs the face of ‘mini Lian Haocun’! No, more precisely, almost pierced the eye of ‘mini Lian Haocun', because the dagger stopped exactly ten centimeters in front of the eye ‘mini Lian Haocun'.
Undeniably, looking at the dagger before him, ‘mini Lian Haocun' thought his death was nearing, and it was inevitable as well, his body was trembling, out of fear.
Meanwhile, ‘Noble’ laughed out loud, as if it had seen a very funny joke. After he finished laughing, ‘Noble’ said, “Do you think your fear means anything? In the end, no one will be able to save you! Ahahaha!! Oh, I know! Your fear must have amused me! Thanks little boy, thanks!”
‘Mini Lian Haocun' felt very angry and upset, but he could not say anything. At the same time, ‘mini Lian Haocun' also felt a sense of helplessness and despair filling her, because what ‘Noble’ said was true.
‘No one can save me.., even that Big Brother.., he will not be able to interfere. Did it in the end just get here.?’ Inner ‘mini Lian Haocun', for the first time in her life, she felt like everything must have ended. However, for some reason, ‘mini Lian Haocun' did not feel happy, but from the first he wanted death.
‘Why.?’ Inner ‘mini Lian Haocun was confused, he felt like crying, because the moment he started feeling the desire to live, he had no other choice but death. And, ironically, he felt that way while he was in the colosseum, and met Lian Haocun.
However, right then and there, Lian Haocun who had arrived at the arena where ‘mini Lian Haocun' competed against ‘Noble’, immediately captured ‘mini Lian Haocun', who was also in charge', and kicked ‘Noble’ so he was thrown pretty far! Unfortunately, the boy who is still held by ‘Noble’ was also thrown.
Immediately, there was a cry from the audience that was extremely loud! Some of them cheered for the rule violation, while others felt their spirits stir, as there seemed to be an interesting spectacle they could enjoy. While the rest felt very unfortunate because they could not see the blood spilled from ‘mini Lian Haocun' and other boys.
Lian Haocun took down the ‘mini Lian Haocun' he had captured from ‘Noble’, then pulled out his black sword, ‘Jianheng’. Seeing Lian Haocun's strapping back before him, ‘mini Lian Haocun' felt disbelief fill his heart.
Plus, when looking at Lian Haocun's sword that suddenly emerged from empty air, ‘mini Lian Haocun' felt even more disbelief, accompanied by confusion. Yes, feelings of pleasure, distrust, and confusion become one.
Lian Haocun intends to kill ‘Noble’, and after pacifying ‘mini Lian Haocun' briefly, Lian Haocun immediately shot towards ‘Noble’! However, ‘Noble’ wakes up pretty quickly, and before Lian Haocun arrives, she takes an innocent boy next to her, and holds him hostage.
“Stop in place! Otherwise, I'll kill him!” Threaten ‘Noble’ fear. In any case, ‘Noble’ also saw the sword Lian Haocun appeared suddenly. Even so, ‘Noble’ held her dagger very tightly, while bringing her dagger closer to the innocent boy's neck.
Hearing the threat of ‘Noble’, Lian Haocun instantly froze in place. And, his reaction was instantly known by 'Noble'.
“Heh, who would have thought that the life of this child is so important to you too! Then, if you want the life of this child saved, kill yourself now!” Word ‘Noble’ interspersed with mocking laughter. Knowing ‘weakness' Lian Haocun, ‘Noble’ does not seem as frightened as before.
After which, Lian Haocun could not move his finger in the slightest. Even he could not take out his pressure as a cultivator, all he could do was look at the ‘Noble’ dagger that was getting closer and closer to the boy's neck.
Again, that flat foreign voice echoed in his ear, “One.”
And, strangely enough, that voice was heard along with the count sound of 'Noble’.
“Two.”
Lian Haocun's throat was dry, he didn't know what to choose. Himself, or, the boy? Of course, Lian Haocun could not commit suicide here, because he did not know if he could return to his world if he did that. However, Lian Haocun also could not let the innocent little boy die at the hands of 'Noble’.
In fact, if it were her from her first life, Lian Haocun would not hesitate to choose her own life. Because during his stay at the colosseum, Lian Haocun learned not to pity, empathize or sympathize with anyone, because it could be, the person he pityes, who the next day will try to kill him to survive.
When, she did not know, she began to change. It lost its sharpness from its previous life, and became softer, like a sword that began to rust after being used for a long time.
Not only that, Lian Haocun also felt new emotions germinating in his heart that had cooled down at this moment. Feelings of helplessness, resentment, anger, empathy, sympathy, compassion, and confusion, mixed into one very complicated, and incomprehensible emotion Lian Haocun. While Lian Haocun did not know how to choose, the seconds continued to pass.
When the fifth second, a flash of the man who sacrificed himself for Lian Haocun in his first life flashed. Yes, he sacrificed his precious life for a little boy whose future was uncertain. In the past, when Lian Haocun thought about the sacrifice of that person, he only felt that person was very stupid, ironically, without the stupidity of that person, the current Lian Haocun would not exist.
At the seventh second, Lian Haocun recalled the many heads of innocent little children he had already slashed to survive. Then when it was already the ninth second, Lian Haocun felt a feeling of disgust and anger towards himself. He also ignored the screams from ‘mini Lian Haocun' behind him, to be selfish.
Then, as the voice sounded again to voice the ending. Lian Haocun cut him off, and said, “Just kill him.”
Time stopped, but ‘Noble’ immediately moved his dagger to slit the little boy's throat. At the same time, Lian Haocun swung his black sword as fast as lightning, to slash the head of ‘Noble’, they did so within a split second after the tenth count was complete. Unfortunately, Lian Haocun failed, yes, he failed. The ‘Noble’ throat wound on the boy's neck was too deep, and instantly killed the boy.
The head of ‘Noble’ separated from his neck revealed a triumphant smile. Blood was pouring everywhere. While the screams and cheers of the audience are getting louder.
Meanwhile, the ‘mini Lian Haocun' behind Lian Haocun felt how terrifying Lian Haocun was. Because, from a considerable distance from ‘Noble’ only, the head of ‘Noble’ strangely beheaded by ‘silet’ light that emerged from the swing of the sword Lian Haocun.
However, the horror of ‘mini Lian Haocun' soon disappeared seeing Lian Haocun's current situation. 'Mini Lian Haocun' shouted loudly, and ran towards Lian Haocun, crying, due to the strange and awkward scene that happened to Lian Haocun in front of him, more horrific than Lian Haocun's previous sadistic murder.
