Chapter 484: You Think Being a Poison Cauldron Master Is So Damn Great?

"Haha..."

In the special seating area, Shan Qiuhen couldn’t stop laughing. "Old Di, it looks like this prospective disciple of yours has terrible luck."

To draw him with a one-in-four chance, his luck really was bad. Dilaka’s expression darkened. He snorted coldly. "So what? I’m determined to have Mu Chen, regardless. Even if I lose the bet, I will still bring him into Holy Tomb Mountain."

"Hehe... Of course, that’s no problem, and he is certainly qualified. But for this battle, you’d better advise him to forfeit. Otherwise, the consequences could be dire."

Shan Qiuhen’s words made Dilaka draw in a sharp breath, his brilliant eyes flashing with deep reluctance. At that moment, the scrawny man from the Sacas Empire’s levitating seats swooped down, landing steadily on the arena. He stared at Mu Chen and the others with an exceptionally sinister gaze. When his eyes landed on Mu Bingling and Mo Qing, however, he let out a lewd cackle. His scarlet tongue darted out to lick the corner of his mouth, as if he had just spotted a delicious meal.

"Ugh... This guy is so disgusting."

Even the usually cheerful and magnanimous Ye Shuangshuang couldn’t help but feel her hair stand on end after seeing his blatantly lecherous gaze and bizarre actions.

"Be careful. This guy has a very evil aura. I feel like I’ve seen that kind of outfit somewhere before." Qing Lei focused his gaze on the purple-black Medicine Cauldron in the scrawny man’s hands, and his pupils shrank almost imperceptibly. "A Poison Cauldron Master!"

"A Poison Cauldron Master?" Mo Qing exclaimed, whipping her head around to look at Qing Lei. She saw that beads of sweat were already trickling down his temples. Poison Cauldron Master—the name alone struck terror into people’s hearts! Even as a Dark Attribute Martial Artist capable of Stealth in the darkness and vanishing from sight, Qing Lei couldn’t hide his inner fear.

The insidious, unforeseen poison, the incurable, deeply hidden poison—it all seared his mind! He finally remembered why the man looked so familiar. Among the people who had destroyed his family, there was a person dressed just like this: wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a crimson-black robe, holding a pitch-black Medicine Cauldron. It was because of that man that his family had been powerless to resist, leading to their utter collapse!

"Th-this..."

Qing Lei’s legs began to tremble as the shadow in his subconscious started to eat away at his reason. Standing beside him, Mu Chen suddenly felt a burst of Evil Qi erupt from Qing Lei’s body. He whipped his head around and barked, "Qing Lei!"

"Huh?"

Mu Chen’s sharp shout snapped Qing Lei back to his senses. The moment he came to, however, his head spun, and he gasped for breath as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

"Mu Chen, that guy is..."

"I know!"

Before Qing Lei could finish, Mu Chen placed a hand on his back, channeling gentle streams of Wood Attribute Elemental Power into his body.

"None of you can participate in the upcoming battle!" Mu Chen’s tone was casual, but they could hear an undeniable authority in his voice. "I don’t understand why, in an age where everyone despises Poison Cauldron Masters, an Empire would willingly harbor such a menace. But a fight against a Poison Cauldron Master is beyond what you can handle."

"Mu Chen is right."

Just then, Elder Bai, who was standing at the side of the arena, suddenly walked over. He glanced at the scrawny man out of the corner of his eye and continued, "For this battle, I advise you all to forfeit."

?!

Mu Chen and the others all turned their gazes to Elder Bai. In all the past tournaments, there had never been a case of a referee advising participants to forfeit. That would be a disgrace to the contestants! But Elder Bai’s words were filled with such helplessness and regret that no one could perceive any insult in his tone.

"Why?"

Mu Chen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He stared directly at Elder Bai. "Why should we forfeit?"

"Sigh..." Elder Bai sighed and pointed at the scrawny man opposite them. "Because of him," he said helplessly. "Guo Zijie!"

"You old fossil! You’d better shut the hell up, or I wouldn’t mind slaughtering you too!" Seeing Elder Bai advising Mu Chen’s group to forfeit, the scrawny man’s expression turned vicious.

Elder Bai snorted coldly. "Guo Zijie! Don’t be insolent! Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you’re a Poison Cauldron Master! In the face of an absolute Martial Artist Realm, I have no reason to fear your poison for now!"

With that, he ignored Guo Zijie’s murderous expression and continued speaking to Mu Chen. "You really can’t handle this guy. Especially with the limited area of the arena, even if you could evade his poison, you wouldn’t be able to secure a final victory. It’s the act of a brute to fight a battle you’re certain to lose."

Mu Chen didn’t say anything after hearing Elder Bai’s words. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Guo Zijie. Seeing Mu Chen look over, Guo Zijie grinned. "What are you looking at? In a bit, I’ll have my little pets eat your eyes, then slowly torture you to death! Of course, if you dare listen to that old fossil and forfeit, I’ll show you what it means to wish for death but be unable to find it."

"And what if I don’t want to die?"

’After hearing Guo Zijie’s words, Mu Chen sneered inwardly. Both choices he offered had the same result: death. He was actually curious to hear what the consequence would be if he chose not to die.’

"Don’t want to die? Jyejye... That’s not impossible." Guo Zijie revealed a wicked smile, the desire in his eyes growing more intense.

Mu Chen saw his expression clearly and sneered. "Oh? Is there still room for negotiation?"

"Jyejye, of course there is. Just hand over those two women by your side. Have them serve me from now on, and then get on your knees and lick my shoes. If you do that, I promise to spare you. Otherwise... hehe!"

"Otherwise... hehe!" Hearing this, Mu Chen chuckled twice. A ferocious glint appeared in his eyes, and a flash of crimson streaked through his fantastical violet-blue pupils. Long ago, Mu Chen had made a vow! In this lifetime, he would absolutely never let Mu Bingling suffer the slightest harm! Then, Mo Qing’s desperate protection had made Mu Chen swear that he would never let anything threaten the people he loved in the slightest! And now, Guo Zijie’s single sentence had targeted both of his beloveds. The threat was obvious. In that moment, Mu Chen exploded with rage!

"Otherwise, what? I didn’t hear you clearly just now."

Mu Chen’s tone was bone-chilling. At the same time, a crystalline Soul Engraving SHIINGED into view on his brow. The engraving spun, and a rhombus-shaped section within one of the nine blank areas suddenly flashed. An ice-blue rhombic mark moved from one section of the Soul Engraving to its center. Instantly, six Ice Crystal Petals materialized behind Mu Chen. The Red Lotus Ice Technique activated on its own!

Seeing Mu Chen’s fury, Guo Zijie was pleased rather than angered. He laughed wickedly, "Say it again? I’d dare to say it ten more times, not just once! And I’d dare to be even more explicit! If you want me to let you go, fine. I, Guo Zijie, want those two women! Not only that, I’ll have them serve me together, night after night of pleasure! You got a problem with that?!"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire Peak of the Holy Mark erupted in an uproar. It was blatant, naked humiliation. Even someone with a shred of decency wouldn’t say such things, let alone in front of so many people.

Countless burning gazes from above locked onto Mu Bingling and Mo Qing. Spurred on by Guo Zijie’s words, everyone couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild. These two women were absolute, world-class beauties. If they could spend a single spring night with such goddesses, they would willingly give up ten years of their lives!

Mu Bingling and Mo Qing’s faces turned deathly pale upon hearing those words. Their hands trembled with rage. Combined with the scorching gazes from all around, they felt utterly disgusted!

"Such words... are truly beneath contempt!" Shi Mu Hua stood before his seat, a harsh glint flashing in his eyes before vanishing. He rapidly fanned himself with his folding fan a few times, as if trying to use the cool breeze to calm himself down.

The youth beside him said nothing, but thought to himself, ’That kid named Mu Chen is about to be pushed too far.’

"Heh..." Mu Chen tilted his head back, a wicked smile on his face. In an instant, his violet-blue eyes were completely covered by a crimson glow, and the fantastical pupils began to spin rapidly. He turned his head and said indifferently to Qing Lei, "Get them out of the arena area."

"But..."

"Now!" A hoarse growl escaped Mu Chen’s lips, his crimson eyes glaring fiercely at Qing Lei.

Qing Lei was stunned by Mu Chen’s cold roar. But when he saw the bloodlust in Mu Chen’s eyes, he flinched, immediately turning to drag Mu Bingling and Mo Qing off Arena Number One. He had seen Mu Chen like this before! It was when Mo Qing had used her own body to block Elder Tianying’s attack for him. But the Mu Chen of today was even more terrifying than that day! Because this time, Mu Chen was still rational!

"Hmph!"

Watching Qing Lei leave the arena’s boundaries, Mu Chen snorted. A cruel smile touched his lips as he said to Guo Zijie, "You think being a Poison Cauldron Master is so damn great, don’t you?!"

Guo Zijie was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. "What are you trying to say?"

"You think being a Poison Cauldron Master makes you invincible?" Mu Chen crossed his arms, cracking his knuckles with a series of POPS. He then rolled his neck and continued, "You think being a Poison Cauldron Master makes you the center of attention? Gives you a massive superiority complex?"

Mu Chen’s barrage of questions left Guo Zijie confused and also baffled Elder Bai. ’What on earth is this Mu Chen trying to do?’

CRACKLE...

Before anyone could react, Mu Chen moved! He moved with incredible speed! Tapping his toe to the ground, a flicker of Thunder Light spread out from under his foot. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from one side of the arena. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Guo Zijie, his right hand swinging forward violently!

SMACK!!
