107: Change the rules, melee?

“The rule just now only said that each side sends one person to fight, it didn’t say they had to be different people.”

Lu Ze moved his body. “So I’ll still go. You guys can go down.”

Fu Liang and the others exchanged glances, then all stepped off the platform.

Meng Yanxing saw Lu Ze alone on the stage and understood his intention. This didn’t violate the rules, so he didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked towards Shennong City. “Xuanyuan City has already sent out its person for the second round. It’s your turn.”

Many people from Shennong City lowered their heads when they saw that Lu Ze was still the one fighting, fearing that Shen Zexing would call on them.

Just now, Lu Ze had directly knocked Duan Ren off the stage with three punches. Many of them were not as strong as Duan Ren, and they probably wouldn't even be able to block one punch if they went up. That would be a huge embarrassment!

As long as they didn’t go on stage, they wouldn’t be defeated!

Shen Zexing scanned the crowd, and no one dared to meet his gaze. He understood in his heart that these people were afraid!

“Hmph, our Director Xiong of Shennong City has always treated you well, hasn’t he?! Today is just a competition, yet you are so timid. Are you worthy of Director Xiong, are you worthy of your status?!”

Facing Shen Zexing’s mocking and angry scolding, everyone still kept their heads down.

Fan Nian, who was beside Shen Zexing, gritted her teeth and stepped forward. “I’ll go fight!”

Even if her cultivation was not as good as Duan Ren’s, and she would probably lose if she went up, if one person from Shennong City was defeated and no one else dared to fight, then they would truly be utterly humiliated!

In the future, not only would the Shennong City Demon Subduing Division be unable to hold its head high in front of Xuanyuan City, but even its current prestige would be reversed. Anyone from Shennong City would be inferior to those from Xuanyuan City!

How could she, Fan Nian, endure such humiliation?!

Shen Zexing’s anger subsided slightly, and he was about to speak when Lu Ze’s voice came again.

“Don’t pick. Come at me all at once. This is your only chance.”

The voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.

Fan Nian sneered, “Lu Ze, you’re too arrogant, aren’t you? Do you really think that just because you defeated Duan Ren, you can defeat all of us?”

The rest of the people from Shennong City were also angered by these words. Lu Ze’s statement completely disregarded them!

To actually want to fight many opponents alone, where did he get such confidence?!

Fu Liang also understood Lu Ze’s meaning at this moment and said loudly, “Hey, people of Shennong City, do you dare to accept the challenge? If you fight one-on-one, you’ll just be knocked out by Young Master Lu with one punch each, with no chance of winning. Just now, you were so timid that you all lowered your heads. Now Young Master Lu is giving you a chance, and you still don’t accept. Are you just going to surrender directly?!”

“Who said we’re surrendering? Little Commander Shen, I’ll go!”

Among the people of Shennong City, one person suddenly surged with Spiritual Qi and rushed onto the platform, holding a sword. “I am from Shennong City…”

“Bang!”

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ze’s figure moved violently, and he punched the person in the stomach!

The person immediately flew backward, fell off the platform, and crashed to the ground with a thud!

“Pfft!”

That person spat out a mouthful of blood, his right hand trembling as he pointed at Lu Ze, who was still in a punching stance on the platform. “You… you ambushed me…”

After saying that, the person fainted.

Lu Ze retracted his hand, stood back properly, and looked disdainfully in that person’s direction. “What nonsense are you spouting? Standing up there means the competition has begun. This is called taking the initiative!”

The fighting spirit that had just ignited among the people of Shennong City was scattered by Lu Ze’s punch.

He could only withstand one punch!

That person just now could still make excuses afterward, saying he wasn’t ready and was ambushed. If they went up and were knocked down with one punch, how would they find an excuse?

“How about we all go together? We really can’t win one-on-one.”

A faint voice was uttered.

Several people nodded in agreement and looked at Shen Zexing.

Shen Zexing’s face darkened even more. What kind of idiots and cowards had he brought this time?!

Fighting many against one, even if they won, it wouldn’t be glorious. If they lost, they would be directly nailed to the pillar of shame!

Just then, someone from Xuanyuan City moved.

Fu Liang and several others had all landed on the platform.

Fu Liang spoke, “Deputy Director Meng, I see it’s getting late. I presume these colleagues from Shennong City also have a time limit for their visit to our Xuanyuan City. If we continue to fight like this slowly, wouldn’t it delay their return time? How about we change the remaining matches of the first round into a free-for-all? They still have twenty Gengsi Class personnel in Shennong City, and our Xuanyuan City will also send out twenty Gengsi Class personnel. This way, it will be very fair.”

Meng Yanxing was indifferent to such a proposal. He didn’t care how they fought; he cared whether the people of Shennong City were severely beaten!

As long as they could completely suppress the people of Shennong City, the method of competition didn’t matter!

“I think it’s a good idea. What do you people of Shennong City think?”

This suggestion made the eyes of the Shennong City group light up!

Shen Zexing’s expression also improved greatly. If it was a free-for-all, then it wouldn’t be considered ganging up on someone, and even if they lost, they wouldn’t be ridiculed.

Moreover, they could assign a few people to tie down Lu Ze, or even eliminate him!

After some thought, Shen Zexing said, “Thank you, colleagues. Indeed, our return time is approaching. If we were to compete one by one, we might not be able to complete it within the stipulated time. If we fail to complete the task, it would be a regret for both of our Municipal Demon Subduing Divisions. In that case, let’s follow the suggestion just now: a free-for-all!”

After speaking, Shen Zexing gave a look to the people behind him, and all twenty of them leaped onto the platform, then all vigilantly stared at Lu Ze, fearing that he would suddenly attack again.

Fu Liang also casually picked some people, making up twenty, and then took out melon seeds from his Storage Ring, distributed a handful to each person, and found a corner to sit down.

The people who received melon seeds also sat down with Fu Liang, as if they weren’t there to compete, but had bought VIP tickets to watch the match up close!

“Young Master Lu, it’s up to you. Go for it!”

“Go for it, smash them!”

“Beat them so badly they won’t even recognize their own mothers!”

Cheers came from behind Lu Ze. Lu Ze finally raised his sword, but the blade was not drawn, still in its sheath, the hilt held in Lu Ze’s hand.

“Damn it, this kid is so arrogant! Does he really think he’s invincible?!”

“Still having the leisure to eat melon seeds, do they really put everything on Lu Ze?!”

The Shennong City side began to whisper.

Fan Nian spoke up, “Isn’t this just right?! We all go together, take care of Lu Ze, and the rest of them are completely unprepared. We can easily take them down!”

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly!

As long as Lu Ze fell, the rest were just a rabble, easily defeated!

And they had twenty people, could they still not defeat one Lu Ze?!

If twenty of them against one still lost, they might as well just find a rope and hang themselves!
