The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 131-135

Chapter 131: A Single Strike

“Brother, is there some enmity between you two? If you want to kill him, just do it. Isn’t this method a bit too roundabout?” Without even thinking about it, the big man knew that someone who had only cultivated for a few days going up against someone at Stage 0-3 would simply lead to death. He did not believe that Ge Nia would be able to live, so when he heard that Zhao Fu wanted him to find a Stage 0-3 opponent for Ge Nia, he thought that Zhao Fu wanted to use someone to kill Ge Nia!

Zhao Fu smiled and did not reply to the big man. Instead, he turned to look at Ge Nia and asked, “Do you feel confident enough?”

“Yes, young master!” Ge Nia said resolutely as he lowered his head and cupped his fists together.

Because it was not very convenient for his subordinates to address him as ‘Your Majesty’ when outside, Zhao Fu had ordered everyone to call him ‘Young Master’ when they were outside. This sort of address was quite common, so it would not raise any suspicions.

Hearing this, Zhao Fu turned to look at the big man and said, “Just look for opponents around Stage 0-3!”

Since Zhao Fu kept insisting, the big man could only give in and look at the list. The big man said, “There’s a match later against someone at the peak of Stage 0-3 called Evil Tyrant. Brother, are you sure about this? If you are, I’ll arrange it. Don’t blame me when he goes to fight though.”

The big man continuously tried to talk Zhao Fu out of it. After all, he had accepted Zhao Fu’s money, so he felt a duty to act in Zhao Fu’s best interests. Normally, he wouldn’t care, as the fighters’ deaths had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Fu nodded before heading with Ge Nia to the preparation area for fighters and started to wait.

Time gradually passed, and people started to fill up the Arena. By the time the battles started, the Arena was packed with people.

At this moment, a person walked onto the stage and said with a loud voice, “Good morning everyone, I’m Lone Wolf, the MC for this Arena. I’ll now introduce the first fighters for today. We have the notorious ‘Evil Tyrant,’ whose cultivation is at the peak of Stage 0-3; I’m sure everyone’s familiar with him. Last time, he used his massive hatchet to split a person with Stage 0-4 cultivation in half.”

As the MC spoke, a man with a ferocious-looking face walked out with a large hatchet in his hand. Seeing him walk out, countless spectators yelled out his name. It seemed that he was quite popular here.

Hearing these cheers, Evil Tyrant grinned. He enjoyed the feeling of thousands of people looking at him and cheering, and he waved back before walking to the MC’s side.

The MC then continued, “Next, I’ll introduce Evil Tyrant’s opponent. He’s someone who has only cultivated for a few days, and he has not reached Stage 0-1 yet; his name is Sword Training!”

Following this, Ge Nia walked out while wearing his black cloak. However, as soon as he walked out, the cheers stopped, and many people started to complain. They were here to see brutal fights, not boring massacres.

“Why the hell is there someone who has only cultivated for a few days fighting here?”

“That’s right! What’s the point of this fight? Isn’t this just suicide? Hurry up and finish it so we can move on to the next fight!”

The MC felt quite awkward. However, Ge Nia did not react at all, and he went next to the MC.

Following this, the MC started to announce the betting odds: if Evil Tyrant won, those who bet on him would earn a bit less than double, but if Ge Nia won, those who bet on him would earn 30 times what they bet. It was obvious that no one believed that Ge Nia would win.
