Chapter 1995: Chapter 1984: Deeply Shaken
"Is this a defeat?"
"Why did the Emperor make just one move and the Red Flame was defeated?"
The battle began in one breath and ended in another.
Many spectators didn’t even see how the Emperor achieved it, and then the red flame flew off the stage.
This scene deeply shocked everyone present, including Ao Cangsheng.
The Red Flame had a streak of 39 consecutive victories, showcasing its strength.
Yet, despite this, in the battle with Qin Shi Huang, he couldn’t even make a single move and was defeated by Qin Shi Huang.
So, how powerful must Qin Shi Huang be? It seems somewhat unbelievable.
With a flicker of flame, the Emperor didn’t remain on the platform, but directly exited through the stage entrance.
After receiving the corresponding rewards, the Emperor hurriedly left the arena through a secret tunnel.
As the Emperor left the Combat Platform, he lifted his hand and took off the mask from his face.
Beneath the mask was an exceptionally handsome face. His eyes like a red Phoenix, eyebrows sharp as swords, cheeks like white jade, with distinct features and an aggressive aura.
If not for the fierce spirit hidden in those eyes, anyone at first glance would think this person is absolutely a noble son of the world.
After removing the mask, the Emperor flicked it lightly, and the mask instantly turned into powder.
This was his last time using this mask. From now on, he would no longer fight, nor would the Emperor release this person.
At this moment, if people knew Yu Xumen again, they would be shocked to find out that the War God, named Disi, actually has another name, which is Sang Yuhong.
After Red Flame was defeated by Qin Shi Huang, he didn’t hold much resentment because Qin Shi Huang defeated him. Such a person would only be admired, not resented.
Until the Red Flame left the platform, the audience around the platform still remembered that battle.
After watching two battles in a row, Ao Cangsheng had gained a general understanding of the rules of the platform.
Then he turned to Nangong Mengyu and Long Jingxian, saying, "Alright, you wait here. I’ll give it a try."
Wen Yan and Nangong Mengyu’s expressions immediately changed, "Do you really want to participate?"
Ao Cangsheng nodded, "Of course, otherwise, I wouldn’t come to fight."
"But..."
Nangong Rumeng’s dreamy face once again showed a trace of worry.
She had just witnessed two battles.
Both battles, regardless of which one, could be described as terrifying.
Although Nangong Mengyu had watched others’ battles, this was her first time seeing battles so up close and with the possibility of life-threatening situations at any moment.
Before that, she thought Ao Cangsheng should try fighting first. If he wasn’t strong enough, it wouldn’t be too late to retreat.
But seeing the death in the first battle and the blow in the second battle, Nangong Mengyu hesitated.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Even if I can’t win dozens of matches consecutively, I won’t have any issues in the competition."
As he spoke, Ao Cangsheng smiled slightly, then touched the dragon’s head, startling the Immortal, and walked out of the audience area.
Nangong Mengyu wanted to stop Ao Kangsheng, but ultimately she didn’t.
After a while, Ao Cangsheng explained his intentions on the Combat Platform to the steward.
The steward listened to Ao Cangsheng’s plan and took Ao Cangsheng to the warrior preparation area.
The warrior preparation area is located beneath the audience seats, with rows of houses, each with a number.
After walking through a corridor, Ao Cangsheng was led to one of the houses.
"Do you know the rules of the arena?"
Upon entering the room, the steward asked Ao Sheng.
Ao Kangsheng nodded, "I know some, but not all."
"Then I’ll tell you again."
He spoke about walking to the room’s door and discussing the rules from the Combat Platform to Ao Kangsheng.
"If you want to fight in the arena, you must first have the cultivation of a Celestial. Otherwise, you can’t go on stage."
Ao Kangsheng nodded, "I meet the requirements."
Speaking, Ao Cangsheng displayed his accomplishments at that moment.
"Secondly, when fighting on the Combat Platform, we can’t use the Palace of Life. Thirdly, failing in the first battle has no reward. From then on, you can’t continue fighting."
"Dragon King, prepare to take the stage."
The steward smiled at Ao Cangsheng.
Ao Cangsheng responded.
On his way out, the steward again said, "Child, be careful on stage. If we fail in the first battle, we’ll regret the Dragon King’s code."
Ao Cangsheng could hear it. There was a trace of disdain for Ao Cangsheng in his words.
After all, this was Ao Cangsheng’s first time in battle. Without any accomplishments, it was clearly impossible to be revered.
"Next, Dragon King versus Tiger King!"
Accompanied by the announcer’s voice, Ao Cangsheng and Tiger King simultaneously headed toward the Battle Platform.
"Kid, are you new here?"
Ao Cangsheng was about to step onto the Combat Platform’s stairs when a voice suddenly came from beside him. He looked up and saw Tiger King.
"Yes, what’s up?"
Ao Cangsheng looked at Tiger King and softly spoke.
"Buy your own life!"
Tiger King said with a cold sneer, his tone rather arrogant.
"What do you mean?"
Ao Cangsheng didn’t understand and asked.
"Tiger King sneered again, "Either you want to die or give me 300 Elemental Crystals, I can spare your life."
Upon hearing this, Ao Cangsheng didn’t respond.
It seemed Tiger King was trying to make some side money. Knowing he couldn’t beat him, he wanted to use threats to gain a hefty sum.
"Are you confident you’ll win?"
Understanding Tiger King’s intent, Ao Cangsheng laughed and asked.
"I don’t want to waste words with you. Three hundred Yuan Jing. If you agree, hand it over to Yuan Jing. If not, stay here."
Tiger King confidently looked at Ao Cangsheng, appearing rather impatient.
"Sorry, I’d like to play first and see."
Ao Cangsheng smiled and shook his head, refusing Tiger King’s threat.
"Alright, you’ve got guts, so wait for your life to stay in the arena then!"
Tiger King said, taking the last step up.
As Ao Cangsheng and Tiger King appeared on stage simultaneously, the audience roared with cheers.
"Haha, this is actually a Dragon and Tiger Fight. Very interesting."
"Not necessarily. Dragon King seems to have never been seen before. He should be a newcomer."
"Yes! If a newcomer wants to fight Tiger King, they’re likely to lose."
"I don’t think he’ll lose his life on the platform. It’s well known that Tiger King is domineering and ruthless. As long as he encounters someone weaker than himself, they won’t escape death or injury."
"It seems this time Dragon King will be unlucky."
"So this time, we’re definitely betting on Tiger King to win."
"Of course!"
In the discussions among many spectators, many placed their bets on Tiger King.
In the auditorium on the east side of the platform, Nangong Mengyu saw two warriors appear again, and the feeling of unease intensified.
He didn’t know whether Ao Cangsheng was the recently defeated spirit cat or was the Dragon King currently on stage, or if Ao Cangsheng hadn’t taken the stage.
"Xian’er Sister, aren’t you worried about your cousin’s misfortune?"
In his heart, Nangong Mengyu couldn’t help but look at Long Jingxian, curiously asking.
Long Jingxian said nothing, only smiled and shook her head.
"Why do you trust your cousin so much? Is he really strong?"
Nangong Mengyuxiu slightly furrowed her brow and asked again.
Long Jingxian nodded, yet her eyes showed no joy or sorrow.
"Alright, I hope he can safely leave the arena!"
In Nangong’s dream language, seeing Long Jing’s immortal face, he couldn’t help but sigh.
The battle between Ao Cangsheng and Tiger King finally commenced.
For some reason, just as the platform master announced the start, many people began cheering and shouting for Tiger King.
But observing the entire Combat Platform, no one could cheer for Ao Cangsheng.
It seemed that in this fight, everyone only favored Tiger King, with no one supporting Ao Cangsheng.
