Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Four – Domineering

Great Peace City, Challenge Stadium

The flood of people flowed in and quickly filled up the majority of stands. There had been people fighting inside but when they heard a famous warrior, Pang Chen, was challenging someone, they instantly cleared the challenge stadium arena.

Zuo Mo’s original plan was to beat this dislikeable person until he was on the ground picking up his teeth but no one was allowed to fight near the Mo Skill Steles. Zuo Mo was also worried about interrupting A Wen during his epiphany and agreed to go to the Challenge Stadium.

When he watched as the stands filled up, Zuo Mo recalled attending the Sword Test Conference back at Wu Kong Mountain. This scene was very similar to back then. That was the only combat competition he had ever attended. All the fights since then were battles of life and death. They were harsh and cruel and people would do anything for survival.

He really missed that!

He thought of how he had used formations to defeat his opponents and was scolded by the shishu for embarrassing the sword sect. Thought of the adorable Xiao Guo, thought of Li Ying Feng Shijie. Right, back then, he had relied on Li Ying Feng Shijie. Unconsciously, Zuo Mo’s thoughts led him away. Those were hard but very happy days. Those warm scenes of being scolded were like rays of sunlight passing through the wooded canopy and warming the ground. They carried warmth and a slight breeze that filled his heart.

An indescribable longing and sorrow spread in his heart.

Zuo Mo lowered his head. In his vision the ground was distant and blurry. The noise of his surroundings seemed far from him. There was only the sound of his heartbeat and his breathing. The world was silent, there was only his heart’s murmurs.

Sect Leader, Shishu, I will definitely rescue Xiao Guo and Li Shijie!

There was no gritting of the teeth, no steely determination. He was so calm there was barely a rise and fall to his breathing as he said these words, as though he was just carrying out a normal matter. There was no burning spirit, no cursing or swearing, this was what how Zuo Mo had said this to himself.

In silence, Zuo Mo raised his right hand and started to unwrap the bandages wrapped around his hand. He did not raise his head to glance at Pang Chen standing on the other side.

A discussion started on the surrounding stands.

“Who is this person? He is so arrogant? Is he a newcomer? He dares to posture in front of Pang Chen. Haha, He really is seeking death!”

“Ahahaha, in any case, it’s his death. It’s good for him to show off before he dies!”

“So strange, Pang Chen is challenging a newcomer? Just how bored is this person? What is even more ridiculous is that this newcomer agreed! I cannot understand, I cannot understand it!

“What if Pang Chen is defeated … …”

“Ridiculous! Please, Pang Cheng is a famous warrior! Do you think the name of a famous warrior is worth so little? These newcomers now really do not have good judgment. So young, and he will lose his life.”

“But Pang Chen’s victory will not be a good one, he is lowering himself … …”

The stands were not filled. Even though they could see a famous warrior fight, Pang Chen’s opponent was undoubtedly too weak in the eyes of the public. These people had just come to see Pang Chen fight. As to winning and losing, there wasn’t anything to look at.

“Pang Chen, if you cannot defeat this person within ten moves, don’t try courting me anymore!”

A young female suddenly raised her voice from the stands and shouted into the battlefield. This young female had an outstanding appearance with her bright eyes and her pouting lips that made her seem even more adorable.

The stands instantly exploded.

“Wow wow wow! That is Miss Hua Ning! Now there is something to see now!”

“Haha! I heard long ago that Pang Chen was pursuing Miss Hua Ning. It seems that the rumor is true!”

“Now there is something to see! Ten moves! Miss Hua Ning is really vicious!”

Pang Chen roared in laughter. “Since Little Hua Ning has said it, Pang Chen does not dare to disobey! Ten moves it is!”

This shout was full of bravado and said without any hesitation. The mannerisms and confidence of an expert was displayed! Many mo females showed admiration on the stands. Even though Miss Hua Ning was present, they still shouted and cheered for Pang Chen.

The discussion increased in volume as everyone’s interests were stirred up. Compared to the victory that was undoubted, this promise of victory in ten moves was something more entertaining to see. Everyone started to speculate how many moves Pang Chen would need to win. Many people even started placing bets.

Hua Ning was very satisfied with Pang Chen’s response, her face excited. The guard beside her also looked with a smile at the stage.

Receiving motivation from a beauty, Pang Chen’s morale rose.

Right now, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to win more beautifully. The beauty, Hua Ning, was here. If he did not win beautifully, then he would waste this rare chance to win her favor.

However, when his gaze landed on Zuo Mo, his face suddenly darkened.

The other’s head was lowered as he attended to unraveling his bandage. From beginning to end, the person did not look at him.

Anger flickered through Pang Chen’s eyes. He had had dozens of battles in Great Peace City before and no opponent dared to dismiss him like this. He did not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack. He had enough confidence in his own strength.

Originally, he had only accepted money to do this yet the underestimation that Zuo Mo showed completely infuriated him.

He, Pang Chen, was being dismissed by a newcomer!

A feeling that he was being embarrassed rose. Pang Chen took a deep breath, his murderousness rising.

If he could not kill this person, how could he leave an impression on Hua Ning?

The long bandage was unravelled, and the mo matrix on Zuo Mo’s right hand slowly was exposed to the eyes of the public. The bright blue light flowed along the mo matrix with a dream glow.

Pang Chen’s pupils suddenly shrank!

This was … …

At this time, Zuo Mo raised his head. The scenes from Wu Kong Sword Sect and the Sword Test Conference retreated like the tide and his vision became clear again.

His expression was cool but that pair of eyes held an unusual determination and resolve, among the faint feeling of sorrow and longing.

The other had come to him, then he would start his plan with this battle!

Zuo Mo’s gaze suddenly became hardened. His aura felt like an invisible shroud had been taken off. A shocking presence was like a freed wild beast that shot off his body without any more disguise.

Boom!
