Chapter 2048: Chapter 1844: The Wager

"This Brother Lu, suddenly shouting like that, actually interrupted me from picking up girls."

Song Yun silently complained in his heart, looking over to a group, and just happened to meet Lu Tiange’s gaze.

Lu Tiange’s eyes were cold, and his eye sockets even slightly red, full of hatred, as if Song Yun had stolen his wife.

"Could it be..."

Song Yun glanced at Dongfang Yun beside him, suddenly understanding.

"A total of five groups, the last two standing in each group will advance to the top ten, begin."

Elder Xue from Changshan didn’t waste words and directly announced the start.

As soon as he finished speaking, battles immediately started on the five platforms.

And as if by some unspoken agreement, the situation in each group was about the same, the other eight teamed up to besiege the two seed players.

Obviously, they planned to take out the two strongest first, then fight among themselves.

Otherwise, they would only be defeated one by one by the seed players, after all, there was still a certain gap in strength between the two sides.

Facing the siege of eight, the seed players couldn’t easily break through.

Moreover, this was only the first round, everyone wanted to hold back a little, not likely to reveal their trump cards, so the battles were raging strongly, evenly matched.

There were also some strong seed players who harbored a playful mindset.

For example, in group three, Shen Lingyun was moving quickly through the crowd, constantly dodging the opponent’s attacks, even when the opponent revealed countless flaws, he deliberately didn’t strike, and mockingly taunted aloud.

Shen Han, in the same group with him, took advantage of Shen Lingyun tearing open the joint defense of the eight, kept successfully attacking.

In group two, Gu Man and Gu Meng had no frills, the two fought back to back, launching fierce attacks, already knocking one opponent off the platform.

In group four, Lin Jun and Lin Xiang also teamed up to break the enemy, but were clearly conserving energy, not attacking fiercely, mostly looking for the opponent’s weaknesses.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the first platform.

Everyone looked over, only to see a man whose head had been sliced off, blood spurting violently from the severed neck.

The one who did it was none other than Lu Tiange from Changshan.

"Hmph!"

Lu Tiange snorted coldly, swiftly retracted his long sword, exuding an extremely fierce aura.

He ignored the other seven who gathered around, walked to a corner of the platform, sat down cross-legged, and actually closed his eyes to rest.

Lu Tiange killed with one sword, then sat in the corner of the platform to rest.

This behavior, domineering, arrogant, insolent, not putting the people on the same platform in his eyes.

But faced with this disregard, the people on platform number one were all dumbfounded there.

Lu Tiange’s sword, fast as lightning, fierce as thunder.

Before the crowd could react, he had already killed one person.

This sword directly shattered the courage of those present.

Even though Lu Tiange was now sitting in the corner with eyes closed, in the best position to be attacked, not a single person dared to make a move.

They were scared.

Afraid the next one to die would be themselves.

Everyone also understood Lu Tiange’s intention, he deliberately used a stunning sword to intimidate everyone, not wanting to waste time being entangled.

His effect was achieved.

The other seven dared not attack Lu Tiange, turning their spears towards the other seed player, Shen Cheng of the Shen family.

If Lu Tiange were there to hold them back, Shen Cheng wouldn’t be afraid.

But facing seven people alone, Shen Cheng immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Over here, the fight was intense, while the sss-level powerhouses on the high platform began to discuss in low voices.

Shen Wenguang glanced at Huang Jinseng, sneering: "Huang Sect Leader, your Changshan disciple Lu Tiange is really decisive in killing."

This remark, although admiring, was clearly hinting that Lu Tiange had a violent nature.<>

The others all nodded, thinking Lu Tiange was too brutal.

After all, the Four Gates Martial Arts Competition is a platform battle, and the opponent’s strength was much weaker, there was no grudge between them, Lu Tiange just killed to intimidate his opponents, indeed a bit ruthless.

Huang Jinseng frowned slightly, looking at Lu Tiange with a few shades of heaviness in his eyes, said: "Tiange is so ruthless, after the Four Gates Martial Arts Competition, I will definitely teach him."

It seemed like he was talking to himself, but he was undoubtedly expressing his stance to everyone.

"Luckily, Tiange killed a scattered person, otherwise Changshan would not escape a hassle."

Shen Wenguang teased a bit, suddenly pointing at platform five, mocked: "Unexpectedly, there’s such a weirdo. That kid actually hides behind a woman, not daring to take even a punch, really shameful."

When the crowd heard this, they all looked towards platform five.

On the platform, Dongfang Yun was single-handedly fighting the other eight, defending seamlessly, occasionally counterattacking, demonstrating formidable combat strength.

While Song Yun was being protected behind her.

No matter how she moved, Song Yun stayed hidden behind her, others simply couldn’t touch Song Yun, only attack her.

Moreover, she intentionally protected Song Yun, keeping him in a corner, reducing his exposure to the opponent, avoiding the opponent from getting close.

Platform five, although not as spectacular as other platforms, had such a strange scene, attracting quite a bit of attention.

Not only Shen Wenguang, but the whole audience despised Song Yun, cursing him over and over.

Men are supposed to protect women, not the other way around.

What’s more, if you’re not capable, why sign up for the Four Gates Martial Arts Competition?

Of course, in fact, more people envied Song Yun.

How much those men wished to be the one being protected behind Dongfang Yun.

Dreaming of being Dongfang Yun’s pretty boy was their greatest wish.

"Ah... what is Song Yun... doing?"

Seeing Song Yun dodging and evading, Lin Family Patriarch Lin Xiao frowned, showing a look of confusion on his face.
