Chapter 392: Second Match - Chunyu Qiong VS Liu Guang – Part 1 (1/2)
Ju Shoufen and Siren City's representatives walked off the stage and regrouped. Some of the girls looked at Wei Yuan as she was the cause of their defeat.
Jiang Lan had a bitter smile on her face while she stood in front of Wei Yuan, ”You knew that he was not on the stage. Why did you do it?”
Wei Yuan shrugged as if she had done nothing wrong, ”Confirming the basic rules, so no one can be bullied if one of us has to give up a match. It will force the immortal to act if he doesn't want to be called a biased judge.”
Jiang Lan paused for a moment to think as she didn't calculate that far. While the others were confused about what Wei Yuan had tried to do, Ju Shoufen understood her intention.
”I see. You're setting an example for the later matches. But what if one of us is suppressed on the stage, but the immortal doesn't stop the match? That guy is likely to allow those men to humiliate us.”
”If that happens, just shoot them and get disqualified. Or, we can ask senior Zhao to jump onto the stage to stop the match if it's necessary. If that immortal insist on bullying our side, well,”
Wei Yuan paused and smirked, ”We report it to the higher realms. Our Miaomiao has so many backers, right?”
…
Despite losing three of their colleagues, Yuan Shaoqing and his representatives were unperturbed. They patiently waited for Fang Yanxu to start the next match.
It didn't matter if they were to lose a few fighters here. After all, none of them saw the others as a friend, a colleague, or a relative. Even Zhang Liao, who had complained earlier, couldn't care less about these people since he was just another hired gun of Yuan Shaoqing.
One of them, who had remained on the platform previously, puffed his chest, elated by his victory. As he was the last man standing, he was responsible for the first point of the team.
The leader of the Semen Supremacy Sect, Chunyu Qiong, was the mentor of Li Jue, the dual cultivator who used semen element Qi. He came here as the representative of the lost sect, which had been destroyed long ago. Now, he wanted to use this opportunity to spread his fame and recruit some beautiful women to be his disciples and sex partners.
Chunyu Qiong was an obese, bald old man with a large physique. He didn't even have an eyebrow or other hair on his glossy oily body.
Because of his excitement and his elation, Chunyu Qiong's pants became bulge as his little brother was energetic. Though he was disappointed that he didn't get to lay his hands on Siren City's women, he was eager for the next match as he might get to taste Wei Yuan or the others.
While Chunyu Qiong and others had been waiting for Fang Yanxu to start the next match, the latter simply stood at the center of the platform, calculating the pros and cons of the next match setup.
Finally, Fang Yanxu made a decision.
”The next match will be decided by the previous victor. Yuan Shaoqing, since your side won the previous round, you get to choose what kind of match you wish to fight. You may choose between a group fight, a duel, and an elimination gauntlet match.”
The crowd was surprised yet again. At first, they thought that Fang Yanxu had a schedule of his own. But now, his action confused everyone.
Fang Yanxu was up to something.
Yuan Shaoqing pondered and stared at the opposite side.
The previous match showed how bad his representative's cooperation and unity were. Therefore, picking another group fight with fewer people was a bad idea.
He probed for more information, ”Your Excellency, what is the elimination gauntlet?”
”You pick five of your top fighters to fight with your opponent's top five fighters. The fight will be a one-on-one duel. The winner of each match can choose if they will continue fighting while the loser will be at the mercy of the winner! The winning representative can choose to enslave, kill, or torture their opponents as they wish!”
”Hoh?”
Yuan Shaoqing squinted his eyes as the gauntlet deathmatch seemed interesting. However, he didn't like the winning perk as only the representatives, responsible for the victory, could enjoy the boon.
Also, Yuan Shaoqing was curious about Siren City's strength as several of them seemed to be stronger than their actual cultivation base. As a result, Yuan Shaoqing decided to test the water again.
”I would like the next match to be a duel, a one-on-one duel.”
”Good,” Fang Yanxu nodded and turned to Siren City's side. ”Siren City, since you lost the previous round, you get to pick the representative of Yuan Shaoqing to challenge in a duel!”
”Oh?”
This time, Ju Shoufen squinted her eyes. Then, she turned to Yuan Shaoqing and grinned.
”To think that an opportunity would come so quickly… By the way, who is your last representative, Yuan Shaoqing? Can you line them up on the platform, so I can pick my next opponent?”
Ju Shoufen's killing intent soared as she had expected Yuan Shaoqing to be one of the main rosters. She had always wanted to kill him, but she had never had a chance as Yuan Shaoqing was always protected by various top experts.
Yuan Shaoqing clicked his tongue. He gestured the remaining people to stand on the platform.
Including Yuan Shaoqing, eight nascent soul cultivators presented themselves to the crowd.
Ju Shoufen smirked when she noticed that Yuan Shaoqing was one of the rosters. However, her smiling face faded, and she clicked her tongue.
”Too bad. I know my limits. I can't possibly fight a snake who has been suppressing his strength to 7th-stage for years. I'll leave you to Miaomiao or the others.”
Yuan Shaoqing was surprised. He thought that Ju Shoufen would have picked him, ”Huh? I thought you would have chosen me, Shoufen.”
”Pfft. I'm not stupid. True, my strength is on par with an ordinary nascent soul realm cultivator, but you're like a half-step 8th-stage. I won't fall for your trick ever again!”
Ju Shoufen ignored Yuan Shaoqing and gazed at the other contestants. Her eyes stopped at Chunyu Qiong, whose essence volume was at the lowest.
”I pick that guy! We challenge that fatty!”
Chunyu Qiong snorted as he was offended. A second later, the grim expression turned into a lewd smile as the fat elder gazed at Ju Shoufen's small hips.
”I don't mind small girls. Don't worry. I'll send you to heaven, mind, body, and soul! You'll beg me to be my sex slave after I'm done with you.”
Ju Shoufen rolled her eyes as she thought of Miaomiao when he was in heat. She jumped on the stage, planning to end this as quickly as possible.
However, Fang Yanxu had not finished yet. He waved his hand and stopped both sides from approaching each other.
”Stop. I'm not done yet.”
Ju Shoufen and Chunyu Qiong stepped back while the other representatives of Yuan Shaoqing flew off the stage to observe the fight from the sky.
Fang Yanxu turned to Chunyu Qiong, ”Now that Siren City has challenged you to a duel, it's your turn to pick your opponent! Who do you want to fight?”
”HUH!?”
Ju Shoufen and the people from Siren City widened their eyes in shock.
The rules were abnormal! They were supposed to pick their fighter to challenge Chunyu Qiong, but Fang Yanxu gave the privilege to the fatty.
Now, Siren City was at a disadvantage since the weaker girls might be exposed to danger!
Chunyu Qiong was stunned as well. He thought that his opponent was the loli.
Still, the fat elder didn't mind it. On the contrary, he liked what Fang Yanxu was cooking.
”HAHAHAHA!! Your Excellency, I really admire your intelligence and your management skill! Your game is VERY fair and interesting!”
