Chapter 384: Cruel

"Everyone is here. We can begin," the Western Celestial King said.

"Everyone, enter in order," the Martial Arts Venerable from the Three Swords Sect announced.

The rules had already been explained to everyone in great detail on the way here. This time, it was similar to the previous round with the Scoreboards.

However, this time, the opponents everyone faced were prisoners from the Wo Country.

Killing one person earned one point.

Furthermore, each participant was equipped with a special device that would automatically record kills. With all sorts of surveillance equipment covering the sky and the ground, it was truly under comprehensive monitoring. There was no way for cheating to occur like it did in the first round of selections.

During the first round, many were able to advance by having Cultivators from their own sect give them their Scoreboards.

But that was no longer possible.

A few hours after everyone had entered, people from the Chu Family arrived.

They had driven over themselves. The Western Celestial King had only brought the contestants; as for the people from the various major sects, they had to arrange their own transportation.

Chu Feng was living quite comfortably here, with dedicated staff to attend to him.

Who could argue? He was a Martial Arts Venerable, after all. His room was also far more luxurious than what many others had.

At that moment, Chu Tianshan was in Chu Feng’s room drinking tea, looking completely carefree. There wasn’t the slightest hint of worry on the man’s face.

"You old coot, are you not worried at all?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

"Worried my ass. This is just the beginning. If they can’t even get past a small trial like this, then they have no future to speak of," Chu Tianshan said nonchalantly after taking a sip of tea.

"It’s nice that you’re so optimistic, but let’s see if you can stay this calm when they’re dying," Chu Feng said with a helpless sigh.

In Chu Feng’s room, there was a massive monitor screen that took up more than half of the wall.

It displayed various scenes from within the competition area.

Most of the prisoners in this area were from the Wo Country, but there were also quite a few from other nations. Many were Martial Cultivators, but they were all, without exception, vicious and depraved criminals.

"Locate Chu Wushuang for me," Chu Feng said.

Soon, the system switched views, and Chu Wushuang’s figure appeared on the screen.

Next to Chu Wushuang was Chu Wuqing; the two were together.

However, both of them were being very cautious. Judging by the expressions on their faces, it seemed they had run into trouble.

After all, this place was far more dangerous than the selection rounds. One small misstep could genuinely lead to death.

The prisoners from the Wo Country and other nations were all vicious criminals who struck with extreme ruthlessness. A single mistake could be fatal.

"Hold on," Chu Wushuang said gravely as the two of them hid behind a pile of rocks.

They then crouched down, not daring to speak.

Just then, they saw two people hiding not far away. They were foreigners, and their clothing was strange.

The two men had burly physiques; one look was enough to tell they possessed great strength.

They looked like Western heavy knights, frighteningly large in stature.

"Brother Wushuang, what is it? Do you see something?" Chu Wuqing asked curiously.

"His senses are quite sharp, but if he remains this cautious, the outcome won’t be very good," Chu Feng remarked.

At this, Chu Tianshan forgot all about his tea. He shot to his feet, his eyes glued to the screen.

On the screen, the two foreign prisoners began to chant something. The words were obscure and difficult to comprehend.

"Those two are Western Wizards!" Chu Tianshan realized.

Wizards like them were powerful combatants, relying on special Secret Skills to kill from a distance through unusual means.

If Chu Wushuang and his partner didn’t act soon, they would lose their chance once the two Wizards made their move.

At that moment, Chu Wushuang also made up his mind. He knew he had to strike; it would be dangerous to delay any longer.

"Go! We’re attacking!" Chu Wushuang said to Chu Wuqing.

He raised his longsword and shot forward in a single bound.

Chu Wuqing didn’t hesitate either, charging right after him. Though not as fast as Chu Wushuang, he wasn’t slow.

They attacked from the left and right, rushing straight toward the two foreign Wizards behind the pile of rocks.

Both were Cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Realm, so their speed was anything but slow.

"Stop them!" the two foreign Wizards yelled when they saw them coming.

Chu Wushuang’s eyes were filled with killing intent, but he was perfectly calm, unleashing his full power from the very first moment.

He executed the Chu Family’s Sword Technique in its entirety, giving his opponents no chance to dodge.

"That’s how you do it!" Chu Tianshan exclaimed, clapping his hands in excitement.

Seeing this, Chu Tianshan began to laugh. He could already see the outcome of this fight; Chu Wushuang and his partner were guaranteed to win.

His opponents might be Wizards, but that was only true if they could actually use their abilities.

If they couldn’t, they were just living targets, destined to be slain by a single strike of the Sword Technique.
