143: Chapter 143 Black Abyss Crystal Card, the Great Battle Begins!
Facing Lin Yuan's provocation, Chen Haobei was so angry he was about to explode, but he was completely helpless. This was an officially organized competition, and he couldn't openly cause trouble on stage.
Seeing that Chen Haobei actually endured it, Lin Yuan flipped his wrist again.
Crack, crack, crack, crack...!
The seven men's arms were immediately dislocated. Seeing this, Chen Haobei almost ground his dentures to dust...!
Chen Haobei could endure it, but Qi Changhe couldn't sit still. He jumped up, pointed at Lin Yuan, and roared:
"Competition terminated! Kid! Stop immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's gaze met Qi Changhe's on the rostrum. Since it was already a life-and-death feud with the Mercenary Guild, he didn't fear offending Qi Changhe further.
"Old Bastard, are you getting too presumptuous? You say terminate, and it terminates?" Lin Yuan said dismissively.
"Arrogant kid! I am a judge for this competition. How dare you speak so wildly? I will strip you of your qualification to compete!"
Qi Changhe was instantly furious. He, the dignified President of the Mercenary Guild Headquarters, was being cursed at by a mere young man who hadn't even fully grown up. How could he not be angry?
"Old Man Qi, you are only one of the judges. To cancel a contestant's qualification, all four of us must agree," Tang Tianhao said with a half-smile. Seeing Qi Changhe embarrassed made him happy...
"You!... Tang Tianhao, you just wait!" Qi Changhe slammed the table and shouted.
Tang Tianhao immediately got agitated, slapping the table repeatedly:
"Old Man Qi, who are you talking to? Is our Martial Alliance afraid of your Mercenary Guild?"
"Hmph!"
Qi Changhe stopped talking. Saying more was useless. He would wait to use his trump card; he wanted to watch Lin Yuan die with his own eyes...
Lin Yuan deliberately provoked the group. Since he had already laid his trap, he didn't want the prey to fail to appear. Enraging them now was to capture them all in one swoop.
Seeing that he had sufficiently angered the other side, Lin Yuan dispersed the Slaughter Domain and removed the Space Folding cage.
The seven men instantly regained clarity and immediately lay on the ground, wailing. Three of their four limbs were broken. Even though they were all Grandmaster Experts, they could not endure such severe injuries.
"Do you seven admit defeat?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.
"We admit defeat, we admit defeat!"
The seven scrambled to speak, afraid that if they admitted defeat too late, another limb would be broken...
Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked at the host: "Announce it."
"Oh, oh."
The host waved his hand, and medical personnel immediately took the stage to carry the injured away for treatment.
The host then began to announce: "I declare, the final champion of the Great Xia Genius Competition is the Military Department's Soldier King, Lin Yuan! Other rankings await our backend scoring compilation and will be announced and awarded later!"
The venue immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause, with cheers echoing everywhere.
"Who said Lin Yuan was arrogant? He didn't even use his full strength, okay? He's too strong!"
"Who said he couldn't take on seven at once? Call out the brothers who doubted him!"
"This Lin Yuan is too strong. Forget Great Xia; even if he goes to the Black Abyss, he will be a powerhouse suppressing one side in the future."
... Qi Changhe and Chen Haobei didn't want to stay and listen to the crowd praising Lin Yuan. They left the competition venue directly. Qi Changhe didn't even participate in the final award ceremony.
"Haobei, get ready. Today, I will make Lin Yuan die!" Qi Changhe said angrily through narrowed old eyes.
"Yes!"
... Lin Yuan was uninterested in the subsequent award ceremony. What interested him was the crystal card he finally received. This crystal card was the token for entering the Black Abyss and the symbol of identity within the Black Abyss.
His crystal card had a '3' written on it. The crystal cards of the top nine all had a '2', and everyone else had a '1'.
Lin Yuan immediately put the crystal card into his storage space. He knew that the number on the crystal card represented their basic level upon entering the Black Abyss.
The award ceremony ended, signifying the successful conclusion of this session of the Great Xia Genius Competition. Lin Yuan did not linger. He directly found Mu Qianqian, and the two left the park together.
The two deliberately chose a secluded path to create an opportunity for the Mercenary Guild members.
As expected,
Behind them, Qi Changhe and the others followed.
"Guild Master Qi, could this be a trap? Why would Lin Yuan and this woman choose such a secluded path? Aren't they deliberately luring us over?" Chen Haobei was somewhat cautious.
"I don't think so. They aren't our opponents; how could they lure us? They should be running away," Minister Luan said.
Qi Changhe also pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then gritted his teeth: "Even if there is a trap, how can I, Qi Changhe, be afraid of two juniors? Block them and kill them all!"
"Yes!"
Chen Haobei no longer hesitated. With just him alone, he could eliminate the two opponents, not to mention that Qi Changhe, a peak Ninth-Tier Expert, was by his side.
Lin Yuan and the woman slowed their pace, genuinely afraid that the people behind them might lose track of them...
"Qianqian, you deal with Chen Haobei later. I have my own way to handle the others," Lin Yuan whispered.
"Good. Chen Haobei injured me back then; this time, I will personally slay him!" Mu Qianqian's peerlessly beautiful eyes were now filled with killing intent.
"Don't worry, he's very easy to kill,"
Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously. Not only was Chen Haobei a whole realm lower than Mu Qianqian, but he had also been drinking the fine wine prepared by his darling son Chen Guang for a long time, so his body was robust and healthy...
Just as the two were talking, three figures suddenly jumped out and blocked their path. It was precisely Chen Haobei and the other two arriving.
"Little beast! Where are you going?" Qi Changhe shouted.
"What... what are you trying to do?!" Lin Yuan pretended to be nervous and said.
"What are we trying to do? Kid! Are you playing dumb or are you really stupid? Of course, we are here to take your life!" Chen Haobei said arrogantly.
"There are people coming and going here. I advise you not to mess around! I am from the Military Department. If you touch me, the Military Department will not let you go," Lin Yuan continued to act timid.
"Hahahaha... Kid, our people have already sealed off the vicinity. No one will disturb us. Just obediently accept your death!" Minister Luan laughed smugly.
"Sealed off?..." Lin Yuan's nervous and timid face slowly broke into a mocking smile. "Sealed off? That's good."
"Kid, stop playing tricks. Do you think the two of you are a match for us?" Chen Haobei said dismissively.
"Then add this old man?"
A hearty voice sounded. An old man with white hair and astonishing presence walked out; it was Marshal Xiao Zhantian of the Northern War Zone of the Military Department.
"Xiao Zhantian! How are you here? Could it be that you...?" Qi Changhe suddenly felt a trace of unease, but that was all.
"Qi Changhe, I didn't expect that at your age, you would actually resort to attacking a junior. All these years, you've truly lived like a dog!" Xiao Zhantian roared angrily. The person Lin Yuan visited that night was precisely this Marshal of the Northern War Zone.
"Hmph! Xiao Zhantian, do you know that this Lin Yuan possesses demonic arts and is bound to bring disaster to Great Xia in the future? We are acting under the orders of the Lord Martial God to eliminate this scourge. I advise you not to make a mistake!" Qi Changhe threatened.
"Demonic arts? Nonsense! Trying to scare me with the Lord Martial God? Our Military Department isn't without a Lord Martial God. Who are you trying to scare?!" Xiao Zhantian was not weak at all. The Military Department was the strongest organization in Great Xia; how could it not have a Lord Martial God presiding over it?
Qi Changhe frowned slightly. Xiao Zhantian's combat power was unparalleled, a top existence even among peak Ninth-Tier experts. He truly wasn't a match for him.
If a fight broke out, Xiao Zhantian could easily take on two or three of them, instantly negating their advantage.
Just as Qi Changhe hesitated, a shadowy black figure appeared beside him.
"Guild Master Qi, let's do it. I'll assist you!" This shadowy figure was the Black Soul of the Reincarnation Cult.
"Good!" Qi Changhe gritted his teeth and was about to attack, but another figure appeared—it was the Alliance Master of the Martial Alliance, Tang Tianhao.
"Hahahaha... What a lively gathering? How could my Martial Alliance be missing? The leaders of the four top powers in Great Xia are all here, and even Lord Black Soul, under the Reincarnation Cult's Holy Master, has arrived. Kid Lin, you really have status!" Tang Tianhao walked over laughing.
"Uncle Tang, you amuse me," Lin Yuan said with a smile, cupping his fists.
"Since everyone is here, let's fight early and finish quickly. This old man will go first!!" As the Marshal of the Military Department, Xiao Zhantian feared combat the least. He stomped the ground, and his domain instantly unfolded. Like a wild horse breaking free, he charged directly toward Qi Changhe.
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
Lin Yuan and Qi Changhe shouted simultaneously, and the battle began!!
