Chapter 193 - It's Nothing Special, Best Not to Mention It~
"Little bug, die for me!"
Meng Niu, in his manifested beast form, wielded a scarlet battle axe that had also grown with his body, and chopped down towards the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe!
The battle axe, over a dozen zhang tall, chopped down. In an instant, a wild wind howled, carrying the momentum to split the heavens and earth!
The entire floor of the arena was split open and cracked by the one axe blow!
However, the barrier over the arena only shook slightly, not damaged in the least.
The full-force strike also failed to hit the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe.
The Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe dodged and weaved, only an afterimage continuously flickering across the field. On the contrary, Meng Niu had received more than ten new bloody wounds on his body.
The Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe landed mockingly at Meng Niu’s feet, its mouth licking the blood-stained scythes on its arms.
Although demonic beasts were different from spirit beasts and could not take human form, that didn't mean they lacked intelligence.
Demonic beasts also gained a certain level of intelligence upon reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm.
Meng Niu was so angry he stomped his feet, wishing he could crush this bug to death with one stomp!
But very quickly, he calmed down again, slowly shrinking his body and returning once more to his half-beast form.
Because he discovered that his huge beast form actually made it harder to deal with the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe.
The Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe’s speed was astonishingly fast, and since he was not skilled in speed and only possessed brute force, he couldn't catch it at all.
Rather than that, it was better to maintain an optimal body posture.
Seeing Meng Niu change into his half-beast form, the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe’s expression seemed to reveal mockery and ridicule.
With a shift of its feet, its figure instantly turned into a swift afterimage, and two cold gleams shot straight for Meng Niu’s neck!
If those cold gleams were to slice through, it would be enough to decapitate Meng Niu on the spot!
Ning Yechen’s eyes narrowed slightly, preparing to secretly save Meng Niu at the last moment.
After all, he had been by his side for some years now.
The child was also quite fond of him; if he died, the child would be very sad…
Just as Ning Yechen was preparing to make a move, he saw the corners of Meng Niu’s mouth curve upwards, revealing a smug and wild smile.
When the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe’s twin scythes came slicing towards him, Meng Niu instantly ducked down, allowing the twin scythes to sink into his bull horns!
Exceeding everyone’s expectations, the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe’s twin scythes did not directly slice off Meng Niu’s horns, but instead got stuck in them!
The crowd present couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What hard horns!
The twin scythes of the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe, which were claimed to be able to slice through immortal-grade weapons, actually failed to cut through!
The Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe seemed to sense the crisis and hurriedly tried to retract its twin scythes, but it was already too late.
Meng Niu seized the opportunity, grabbing the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe’s scythe-arms with his own arms, a 'friendly' smile on his face.
"Grandpa Niu has finally caught you, little bug~!!!"
Snap!
As his voice fell, a crisp sound rang out. With a great effort, Meng Niu directly snapped off the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe’s scythe-arms!
The Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe's body was light, with its hard armor mostly on the surface of its body; its joints were particularly fragile.
Faced with Meng Niu’s brute force, its arms were easily snapped.
"Screee!”
With its arms snapped off, the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe let out a screeching wail.
Meng Niu quickly pulled the scythes from his horns and, with one slice, directly chopped off all of the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe’s legs!
Without its legs, let's see how this little bug runs now!
The Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe fell to the ground, its green blood continuously spraying everywhere as its body struggled.
Meng Niu threw away the scythe in his hand, dragged his scarlet battle axe, and walked step by step towards the Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe, a savage smile on his face.
"Little bug, farewell~!"
Bang!
With a heavy chop of the axe, the ground trembled. The Immortal-Slaying Demonic Scythe instantly exploded, splattering green blood and body fragments everywhere.
Even Meng Niu himself was stained with a fair amount of the thick, green blood.
The crowd present was stunned for a moment, then erupted in heaven-shaking cheers.
They actually hadn't expected Meng Niu to win…
"Not bad! Niu Niu!"
"We really underestimated you!"
"I acknowledge you!"
Meng Niu panted heavily, looking around at the cheering and encouraging crowd. He couldn't help but reveal a look of victorious joy on his face, raised his battle axe, and let out a bull's roar towards the sky.
What do you know, so I'm still pretty strong after all…!
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying watched Meng Niu in the arena with surprise, and they also couldn't help but reveal gratified smiles.
He performed quite well…
Luo Hongye, whose eyes had been covered for almost the entire duration since the start of the battle, was only released at this moment. She pouted her cute, round, and chubby little face resentfully.
Daddy kept covering her eyes, so she couldn't see anything.
This cute appearance made Ning Yechen apologize on one hand, while on the other, he couldn't resist rubbing her chubby little face.
In the arena, the announcer pointed at Meng Niu and announced loudly:
"What an unexpectedly brilliant duel~!! I declare, the winner this time is~~~"
"Meng Niu!!!"
"Roar roar roar~!"
The crowd once again let out rousing cheers of encouragement.
High above the Yongye Cage Arena, a huge sign appeared like a screen.
Meng Niu’s name conspicuously appeared on the illusory screen, his win count changed from 0 to 1, and his ranking was displayed.
A staff member came forward and congratulated Meng Niu:
"Congratulations on surviving."
"You can rest for a while now. Your next match will be held in a few days."
"Th-There's a next match…?!"
Hearing this, Meng Niu’s two bull eyes instantly bulged like bronze bells.
"Yes~"
"Lord Left Guardian said that you and the other two will be staying here for this period~"
"Oh, and on the days you don't have a match, Lord Left Guardian said she will find the time to personally train you~”
The staff member said with a faint smile.
Meng Niu’s eyes rolled back in his head on the spot, and he fainted dead away…
Luo Ruying looked up at the screen-like display board floating high in the center, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
The first place in the point rankings was conspicuously Ye Mochen, with a win count of 9999+.
Meanwhile, the second-place winner only had 1000+ wins.
The gap between first and second place was simply like a chasm, an immense difference.
Moreover, the name Ye Mochen also felt inexplicably familiar…
Luo Ruying thought carefully for a moment, then abruptly turned her head to look at Ning Yechen beside her. Her red lips parted slightly, and she pointed at the screen and asked:
"Husband, did you also use to compete here…?!"
She remembered!
Demon Lord Ye Mochen, isn't that Ning Yechen!
Ning Yechen smiled faintly, his face wearing a proud expression that said, 'You found me out, my wife, what can I do…' b(￣▽￣
"Yes, this husband also spent some time here in the past~"
"But that was all a long time ago~"
"It's nothing special, I just took first place, it's best not to mention it~"
Luo Ruying: "..."
Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her face speechless.
She suddenly felt that he had brought her here specifically to show off his glorious achievements…
Just then, the match having just ended, the announcer also noticed the arrival of Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, and the others. He was instantly ecstatic and hurriedly greeted them respectfully:
"Demon Lord, Madam, and the dear Little Princess~"
"Demon Lord, you haven't been here in so long~"
"Your arrival truly makes my Yongye Cage shine with splendor~"
"Your battle record will forever be the greatest and most legendary existence in the Yongye Cage~~"
"To this day, it remains unsurpassed~!"
The others present also noticed Ning Yechen and his group, and one by one, they also spoke up to greet them.
The announcer, moreover, bowed slightly, made an inviting gesture, and respectfully requested:
"I wonder if Demon Lord would have the interest to once again ascend the stage of the Yongye Cage?"
"We eagerly look forward to once again witnessing your supreme, heroic bearing, Demon Lord!”
