#130 - The thorn in my side, Ling Yunzi
Above the arena, a flash of light.
Xu Chengxian and Hong Lie emerged from the portals one after the other.
Below the arena, there wasn't a single demon.
Seeing that a victor had been decided so quickly, Prime Minister Turtle seemed quite surprised.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Both of you, please step down from the arena and take your seats."
At this moment.
On the light screen.
Xu Chengxian's name still emitted a faint glow.
The row where Hong Lie's name was, however, was dim.
This visually displayed the outcome of their contest.
"King Xu, after you." Hong Lie gestured.
"… There's no need to be so polite." Xu Chengxian said, somewhat helplessly.
The more polite this guy was, the more annoyed he felt.
But he couldn't express it.
As the saying goes, one doesn't strike a smiling face.
The other party was also a great demon.
What had Flower Snake done to make the other party so convinced?
"Don't ask, because even I don't know." Xu Chengxian flicked his tail, "I swallowed his demon core and absorbed a lot of his demon power."
"Not only does he not hate me, not fight me, but he even thanked me!"
Hard to understand.
Really hard to understand.
So, he chose to keep his distance.
As soon as he returned to his original seat, he coiled up and began to digest the demon power he had refined earlier.
At the same time, he paid attention to the results of the other great demons' battles.
Waiting for Ling Xiao to come out.
Hong Lie did not return to his original position.
Nor did he choose to leave immediately.
Instead, he sat in the last row, in the corner seat.
He closed his eyes slightly, pondering his decision.
His gaze swept over where Xu Chengxian was, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Defeated.
Still defeated.
Although he knew that there was little hope of winning this competition, he was still a little unwilling to lose in the first round.
But…
"I may have lost, but I'm not necessarily the one who lost the most miserably." Hong Lie thought to himself.
…
It wasn't long before other great demons appeared on the arena.
Seeing that there were already demons seated below the stage, they were all visibly stunned.
They seemed surprised, how could someone have come out before them?
The reason for their surprise was simple.
Xu Chengxian opened his eyelids and took a look.
One of the two contestants in this group was in the late stage of the Great Demon realm, while the other was only in the early stage of the Great Demon realm.
Moreover, the latter only brought one magical artifact to the arena.
— A large ring blade with roughly the same quality as Ling Xiao's whip.
The difference in cultivation and strength was too great.
It was estimated that this Great Demon in the early stage did not have any special bloodline talent, so he could not use combat skills or divine powers to make up for the difference in combat power between the two.
But even so, the battle between the two great demons took a cup of tea's worth of time.
Therefore, they did not expect that there was another group that could decide the outcome even faster.
"Don't tell me you didn't expect it, even I didn't expect it!" Xu Chengxian thought to himself.
At the same time, he felt a little strange.
Did these two go to the secret realm fighting arena to fight?
Did they have a big battle?
Did they compete?
Why did they come out with their arms around each other's shoulders?
When they went in, he remembered that these two were clearly unfamiliar demons who didn't know each other.
With Xu Chengxian's current divine soul realm, he couldn't possibly remember it wrong.
Just like all the great demons, before, when the name was selected by the General-appointing Brush, and then everyone corresponded in pairs, entered the light screen, and now came out again, they could basically remember who each great demon was.
Not only the name, but also their aura.
This is also a side manifestation of the power of the divine soul.
"What's going on? Did they recognize relatives during the battle?" A bunch of dramatic and cliché guesses popped up in Xu Chengxian's mind.
Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it.
Everyone present is from the snake and python clan.
In terms of bloodline, there may be kinship.
The appearance of this thought made him unable to help but laugh.
How is that possible?
But when the groups of great demons came out later, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"… What the heck?"
His vertical pupils widened more and more!
There were quite a few with their arms around each other's shoulders!
The first few pairs of great demons who came out of the stage were very close.
They had smiles on their faces.
The middle few groups were also relatively mild.
Only the last two groups, the four great demons, didn't look too good.
But they could still politely give way to each other, coming down from the arena one after another.
Good heavens!
Aren't all the non-fighters relatives?
Although this time felt very long to Xu Chengxian, and he even took a nap in the middle.
But in fact, it shouldn't have been too long.
What happened?
…
Nothing happened.
This scene was actually expected.
With comparable cultivation and strength, it was not so easy for one party to willingly admit defeat during the competition.
Everyone just wanted to determine the winner, and did not want to determine life and death.
What's more, there were still battles to come.
Therefore, at the beginning, it was all probing.
Just like Hong Lie used the Scarlet Sun Flame to probe Xu Chengxian.
This process should at least happen several times.
Both sides came and went, constantly increasing the combat power they displayed.
Probing the other party's strength.
Then using some moves that the other party might not be able to catch.
But in terms of mentality, they all wanted to avoid fighting with real fire.
Once the battlefield of the competition was set on fire, it could not be stopped.
At that time, even if they won, they would inevitably lose in the subsequent battles.
Therefore, it was best if one party could display a power that made the opponent feel invincible without consuming too much energy.
Finally, the opponent sensibly admitted defeat.
In other words, it was best not to fight if one could subdue the enemy without fighting.
Becoming a great demon, and being able to appear in the mansion of the Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis at this time, meant that everyone had the qualifications to be a garrison demon general.
It was better to befriend than to antagonize.
"Demons like to act in accordance with their nature, but they are not stupid."
Ling Xiao, who came out of the arena in the middle and rear, answered Xu Chengxian's doubts.
Why were the expressions of these great demons present, only a few of them, with anger?
And more of them were talking familiarly?
It was because the purpose of everyone's struggle was not to make enemies, nor was it a life-related treasure.
The essence blood of the Flood Dragon was certainly precious, and the identity of the Demon Marquis's son-in-law was also tempting.
But it was far from affecting everyone's cultivation prospects.
If it was replaced with the essence blood of a True Dragon that could definitely awaken the bloodline inheritance, the scene would definitely be different.
"I see." Xu Chengxian nodded.
No wonder the atmosphere was so harmonious that he was a little confused.
At this time, all the great demons had returned.
Then, without wasting everyone's time.
The General-appointing Brush directly started the second round of appointments.
In the second round, Ling Yunzi was vacant again.
Vacant again?
The Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis was actually willing to do this much for Ling Yunzi?
"Whoa! Haha!" Xu Chengxian laughed.
Ling Yunzi's realm of being a thorn in the eye has reached its peak!
