On the day of the match ...
It was unexpected that the match would start the morning blind. Even when Yi Hua and the others came to the arena, precisely near the underground cavern, where the Phoenix Kingdom held a free fight, the place was already filled with people. They were even reluctant to pave the way for Yi Hua and the others. So that Yi Hua could only rely on Huan Ran's large body to lead the way.
They came in just three.
Liu Xingsheng was at the inn with Jia Yu. It was extremely dangerous to bring Liu Xingsheng to this place. Plus Liu Xingsheng's condition was extremely uncontrollable. What if something happens in the game? Like a fight or a fight there.
It would be difficult to protect Liu Xingsheng while protecting yourself.
About lodging.
Yue Yan had already ordered his children to spread around the inn. At least although Yue Yan's snake was sometimes useless and like a worm lost its tail, but they had no more members to guard. And, Jia Yu, it was clear they could not bring the girl to see the match.
Free fighting is too brutal and inhumane. That's what they heard. A girl like Jia Yu must be uncomfortable with such circumstances.
"But you're a girl too, Hua?" xiao asked who gave Yi Hua a spiritual flush only so that Yi Hua would not violate her nature.
Yi Hua replied inwardly as she rubbed her nose proudly. "That's because I'm amazing."
Whatever, Xiao thought. Talking to Yi Hua would be endless. This guy is too optimistic to break his spirit.
BUGH!
Just now Yi Hua and the others had infiltrated among the crowd, a flying blade. The blade headed towards Huan Ran, but Yi Hua saw it first. So with her index and middle fingers, Yi Hua caught the knife toss in the air.
"Suit ..." The pitcher whistled when he saw that.
Of course it wasn't difficult for Yi Hua to catch him. In ancient times, when he was still in Cloud Training, he and the others had even been told by Ling Xiao to catch a paper arrow with just two fingers. It was no ordinary paper arrow.
We're talking about Ling Xiao here! The Cloud Training Master ruthlessly made ordinary paper sharper than needles. So if you don't practice catching those papers well, you might get hurt. Well, that was Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao once said, "One day you may be attacked by a scout. They usually attack in the dark. Their slowest throwing speed is like a flying bee."
Well, for this Ling Xiao was a bit wrong.
"Your throws are even slower than the cows swimming," Yi Hua sneered as usual. His mouth is too good at insulting.
The person in question immediately stared intently at Yi Hua. It was Jian, the subordinate of Lord Qiu, who now had an immortal wound on his cheek. Of course it was a memento from Yi Hua.
"You ... I will kill you today," said Jian who was ready to crush Yi Hua with just his two hands.
All around them were so crowded that no one heard Jian's menacing voice. Even Yi Hua was suddenly deaf. So Yi Hua simply replied with a lazy nod. Well, maybe Jian just said good morning to her.
SRETT!
"Eh, dislodged," Yi Hua suddenly scratched slightly from tripping.
Just as Yi Hua was walking after Huan Ran who was the road opener in front, Yi Hua's leg suddenly tripped. Not a thing, but in a crowded place like this, how does anyone know if their feet are hooked on someone else's feet. So Yi Hua almost fell forward.
But, ...
This scent.
"Be careful."
Without even raising her head Yi Hua knew who was speaking. Especially her distinctive fragrance that was like a wildflower in the forest. Not to mention with his arms that have long fingers. Also, the hand of this man, Hua Yifeng who was at Yi Hua's waist.
"I ..."
Just now Yi Hua wanted to say, Yue Yan suddenly dragged Yi Hua to break through the crowd. Maybe Yue Yan was unaware of Hua Yifeng's whereabouts. And, Hua Yifeng's grip just slipped off. So Yi Hua immediately turned his head to look towards Hua Yifeng.
But the man just vanished. Like dust in the air. There was no trace of it anymore, and Yi Hua suddenly laughed strangely.
Was it just a fantasy before?
But why so real?
"Xiao ..." Call Yi Hua in your heart.
Xiao's voice did not sound long enough, but when Yi Hua was near the arena, Xiao immediately replied lazily. This made Yi Hua suddenly disappointed. Maybe he's too tired.
"You know ... The cold-faced Prime Minister was already in the arena. With great arrogance he stood there, even when there were still people fighting there," Yue Yan said as he pointed at Huan Ran who had already hit one of the participants.
Meanwhile, the opponent of the participant that Huan Ran hit felt confused. Because the one who fights is himself and the one who has fallen. Then why was there this creature that suddenly destroyed the match?
"What the fuck?" ask the team from the person Huan Ran hit.
Huan Ran pointed at Yi Hua who was still standing not far from the arena.
"Ask him ..."
Huh uh? What the fuck?
Why are these two Prime Ministers so happy to make Yi Hua a scapegoat?
***
"Master!"
Just as the man wanted to tie his long hair with a rope, his subordinates came. This time with a panicked face. So that the man could only snatch when he saw it. He was lazy to go down to the arena.
But he thought about it long enough.
It is indeed very interesting to meet the Li royal person in question. However, he had long since left the Li kingdom and he had tried to forget everything. He started this auction of the Phoenix Kingdom as his new life form.
And ...
"The team of Prime Ministers of the Li Kingdom is making trouble, sir," reported his subordinates.
Be present! I guess a tall person like him is just a royal 'bandit', not a violent bandit.
He could only grumble because of this crowd. After all, it's commonplace ... The commotion in the arena was already very ordinary. Just let them kill each other in the arena, as long as the audience continues to place bets. That'sthat's all.
Because, the more bets, the more parts that will go into them.
Some of the money will be in the hands of the winner.
"I'll just go to the auction tomorrow. You take care of them" said the man, sitting in his chair quietly.
"But they haven't played yet, but they hit the two fighters in the arena immediately" his subordinates said in frustration.
The man could only massage his temples tired. "What the fuck is this troublemaker? If you want to find dead, not in my territory. Announce the punishment of violation!" his orders.
Want to not want his subordinates to feel afraid. "Sir, they're only three. Only one looks to be able to fight. Two other guys just kind of add to the team."
"They must have done it because they had something urgent. With the penalty of violation they can get more money, and ..."
***
Yi Hua sighed while pointing towards the fighter who was in the arena. "So, since we're in a hurry, then let us fight first."
Of course, this causes anger from others. "Can't! We're already half the game, and you're trying to take the betting money out of our game!"
Well, that was indeed the purpose of Yi Hua!
However from his surroundings Yi Hua knew if the stakes were enough. This is the first match. Already said in the Kingdom of Phoenix is usually rich people will throw money easily. They will bet as much as possible, and will only watch from hidden places.
It's for the rich. Not to mention the ordinary people who like to complain. They will place a lot of bets to bet their heroes. It is only a personal pleasure, and the souls of those who love to see blood and fight.
If Yi Hua's team could survive from the first fight to against the team in the final fight, then all the money in today's match would be theirs.
There is actually another way, which is to wait and be the final team.
They could wait for the remaining one team in the arena, who had already fought desperately, and defeat this team in the final fight.
But ... That's not interesting!
The more controversial they are, the more burning people get to see their team.
In every round of the game they can rake in a lot of money from extravagant people.
Up ...
"That's just like it ... Consider it your match with that person ..." Appoint Yi Hua to someone the team members are trying to awaken.
It seemed like Huan Ran's punch was so hard that this person was reluctant to get up again. Horrifically.
"I mean the team is done. And continue with our team. If we lose now, then everything is done" Yi Hua said.
Just fight. It'll be done!
But the remaining team of unconscious people was of course a protest. They were still two people left, and it was decided to lose! That's not fair to their team.
"We're not finished!" shouted one of the team-mates.
The audience is just as excited. They had Yi Hua and the others descend from the arena. This made Xiao in Yi Hua's ears comment with excitement.
"Your life everywhere will be famous, HuaHua. Not because of his accomplishments, but his ugliness!" xiao said proudly.
"Alright, if that's what's left in the arena fighting with me now," Huan Ran said as he pleased with his head.
Hey, is this guy too frustrated to raise money or what?
It is no longer one against one, but one against several.
Yi Hua and Yue Yan must have been like their previous plans. The two of them will not fight. Only Huan Ran will fight now. This time Huan Ran, Yi Hua, and Yue Yan were wearing face coverings. If they did not use face coverings, then the shocked and trembling faces of Yi Hua and Yue Yan would be visible.
That must be embarrassing.
"Continue."
All views lead to sound. However, they realized that it was just a sound. In this basement has a hidden section. Everywhere people can afford it. They would watch and laugh, as well as pounding due to the match. Without fear of being attacked or getting into chaos.
"Continue the match" the voice commands again.
Yi Hua frowned. Where has he heard this voice?
He asked Xiao, but Xiao was even excited to calculate the amount of money that began to be wagered. The usual! That Xiao had already fused with Yi Hua, so if Yi Hua was crazy for money, then Xiao would be the same. He told Yi Hua not to lose, because the money raised could already be used to buy a house in the City Center.
This is just the beginning of the game! Especially if they can fight to the end. Perhaps Yi Hua could build his own sect, and become the ruler.
Well, but this money is to buy a mirror at auction. Hopefully there is something left.
"But .." refute the team that disagrees.
But the voice came back. "Continue the match penalty."
Match penalty? Is it a creature or an object, or even just a designation?
However, Yue Yan withdrew Yi Hua's hand in panic. "We'll just run, Yi Hua!"
"What's? How can you run when there is money in sight? After all, the only one fighting was Prime Minister Huan, we were just watching," Yi Hua asked miserly.
Yue Yan almost patted Yi Hua on the forehead to resuscitate her. However Yi Hua was more deft to brush off Yue Yan's hand. There Yi Hua could feel a chill from Yue Yan's hand.
"I don't care about the quiet Prime Minister. Because I know he can survive the match without dying, but we can't, Yi Hua!" whispered Yue Yan.
Whatdoes thatmean? Isn't the only one fighting Huan Ran? This is Yue Yan who does not understand their strategy or Yi Hua who does not understand the situation?
Just now Yi Hua wanted to reply, suddenly the arena that was originally like a cow cage was opened. The fences opened and became like a field. Then, low fences with bamboo material emerged from the holes in the underground. It becomes a barrier for fighters and spectators. So that what is outside the fence is a spectator, and from the gap of the fence that is still open, all teams who intend to become fighters enter. Even Jian and his two comrades entered as well. They were obviously the team brought in by Mr. Qiu.
"Yi Hua, we will fight as well! Without being able to be excluded because we got the match punishment," Yue Yan said with a panicked face.
Huan Ran with a flat face immediately approached Yue Yan and Yi Hua. Unknowingly the three of them gathered with their backs meeting each other. All around them were surrounded by fighters. It was over thirty people. The audience cheers make everything pretty clear. What is meant by match punishment.
Indeed Tarung Bebas is free. But if there is chaos and the party that causes chaos does not want to give up, then they will do the punishment of the match. Where they will continue to play as usual, but not one team against one team. It is the team that makes a problem against the whole team in one round of matches.
No turn to attack. All can attack simultaneously.
Therefore, if anyone made a fuss they would choose to give up in the match. Than they had to fight the whole fighter. This was the first time a match penalty system had occurred. Obviously the laws of the match are just preparation to scare the participants. Who would have thought there would be so stubborn to stay in the arena, even though it has made a violation.
"Please bet. You can bet money, gold, or other valuable objects. Match starting!" the voice opened the match today.
Yi Hua could hear Yue Yan swearing a few times. But Yi Hua could do nothing. They could not retreat because this was an opportunity to obtain the mirror image called by Ling Xiao. For Liu Xingsheng's sake.
The three of them were still standing to cover each other's backs. When the sound of silver iron clinked, they advanced simultaneously.
BUGHOM!!!
And, Huan Ran's first kick made two people instantly unconscious.
