82: Section 82

"What's going on? Is someone bad-mouthing me behind my back? If I find out who it is, I'll kill you."

The mysterious figure in black arrived at the arena early, standing perfectly still in the very center.

According to the registration information, her name is Tian Kui, a Level 7 Demon King; nothing else is known about her.

"Please be quiet, everyone. The match is about to begin. The winner of this match will compete against contestant Bai Xiao for the position of Prince Consort."

"Let's have a round of warm applause for both contestants."

The atmosphere at the scene didn't seem very enthusiastic; everyone was watching to see how Mo Peng would place his bets.

But he indicated he couldn't read the situation and wouldn't bet on anyone, lest he lose everything overnight.

Without his encouragement, the audience naturally wasn't very interested.

They didn't care who became the Prince Consort; they only cared about whether they could win money!

Chapter 108: It's Actually a Nine-Tailed Fox

When the referee announced the start of the match, Guizuka was still nowhere to be seen. This was a trick he often used, constantly creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere around him.

A fierce wind swept across the arena, and a dark, oppressive cloud appeared above, creating a suffocating feeling.

Black skulls slowly emerged from the dark clouds, accompanied by dozens of Gui Mei drifting toward the arena.

The demons watching the scene held their breath, not daring to Move their noses, fearing that even a single exhale would attract the attention of the ghosts.

Tian Kui, full of mystery in her black attire, stood at the center of the arena the entire time, remaining motionless. The surrounding terrifying aura could not affect her in the slightest.

She threw out a long sword, and with just the scabbard, she beat back the black skulls.

Xiao Bai immediately perked up: "So strong! She neutralized Guizuka's terrifying entrance with just such a simple Move."

"This kind of strength is probably far beyond a Level 7 Demon King; she must have lied about her information."

Guizuka created several waves of terrifying atmosphere in succession, but none were effective against Tian Kui, and the sneak attacks launched from the shadows were also easily neutralized.

Tian Kui just stood in the middle of the arena without saying a word, basically never leaving her spot, relying entirely on the white long sword in her hand. No one knew what kind of face was hidden beneath the black mask.

Her mental fortitude was incredibly strong; Guizuka's eerie Moves were completely useless.

"Damn it, who exactly are you? To think you could neutralize all my Moves."

Guizuka was clearly a bit panicked. He wanted to use his terrifying aura to intimidate his opponent, but he hadn't expected to encounter someone stronger than him this time, so he inevitably felt a bit anxious.

He had received a death order: no matter what method he used, he had to win the position of Prince Consort and obtain the demon emperor fragment in Yu Emperor's hands.

"Hell Ghost Fire, let's see what you use to block this now."

Guizuka got desperate and decisively revealed his original form, which was also wrapped in black clothing; using the shadow state before was merely to intimidate his opponent.

For those weaklings, it naturally had enough of a deterrent effect.

Suddenly, the entire arena was like it had been doused in gasoline, instantly igniting with blue ghost fire.

Tian Kui drew her precious sword and drew a circle around her body. The movement was extremely graceful, and she easily and successfully isolated the encroaching ghost fire.

"How is it possible? Who exactly is she? To be able to handle my various Moves so easily, she has already surpassed a Level 7 Demon King."

Tian Kui's sustained aloof posture made Guizuka quite annoyed, but he couldn't take her down. Since becoming a Ghost King, he had never faced such a challenge.

As a Genius of the Ghost Race, a once-in-ten-thousand-years talent, he often made his opponents terrified and voluntarily concede before he even made a Move.

Many spectators present had seen Guizuka's strength and terror in previous matches. Except for Hong Shan, who was spared, all the contestants who had fought him before had died miserably, their Souls having been sucked away.

"Hell Ghost Claws."

Two black ghost claws extended from the ground, tightly wrapping Tian Kui inside, attempting to crush her.

In less than ten seconds, two rays of light appeared beneath the black ghost claws, followed immediately by cracks appearing on the two ghost claws.

Crack! A crisp sound rang out, the ghost claws burst open, and a beam of white light shot straight up a hundred meters into the sky.

Tian Kui hovered in mid-air, holding her long sword and pointing it forcefully forward, as a rain of swords across the sky shot toward Guizuka in unison.

Guizuka turned into a black shadow and burrowed into the ground, but the sword rain had tracking capabilities, pressing in step by step and piercing countless holes in the ground.

The skill effects were maxed out, instantly making the audience, who hadn't been very expectant, boil with excitement.

They felt as if they were seeing a Sword Immortal descend to the mortal realm, using extremely exquisite sword techniques to slay Gui Mei.

"Damn it, her sword rain is so strong, there's nowhere to hide. If I Move further out, I'll be out of bounds."

Seeing there was nowhere to hide underground, Guizuka immediately burrowed out and summoned skulls in mid-air to take the sword rain attack head-on.

Accompanied by clanging sounds like metal being hammered, Guizuka was knocked to the edge of the arena, having used almost all his strength to block the sword rain.

If he didn't block it by force, the sword rain would keep following him until his magic power was completely exhausted.

After the black skulls took the sword rain head-on, Guizuka could no longer summon them to fight.

"You forced my hand."

Guizuka watched as the skull hanging around his neck turned into powder; it was a gift his father had given him when he was a child, and he usually cherished it dearly.

He had been forced to summon it to block the attack just now, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.

"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!" Guizuka shouted, his voice incredibly loud.

The black clothes on his body gradually tore open, revealing a pitch-black skeleton with maggots crawling on it, and red light glowing from the hollow eye sockets of the skull.

The appearance was not only terrifying but also disgusting; many demons off the stage couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Yu Emperor began to guess Guizuka's identity: "Could he be the son of Ghost Mother?"

Mo Ze, standing to the side, asked curiously: "Father Emperor, may I ask who Ghost Mother is? This is the first time your son has heard of her."

Yu Emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Ghost Mother was originally a skeleton from the ancient era, having gone through countless years of Reincarnation, constantly absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth."

"Her current Cultivation is no lower than mine, with at least one hundred thousand years of Cultivation."

"It is very likely that this Guizuka is her illegitimate son with the Ghost Emperor; many of his Cultivation Techniques are somewhat similar to Ghost Mother's, just not as skillfully applied."

Xiao Bai heard it clearly from the side and was shocked.

"What? This black ghost is actually the illegitimate son of the White Bone Demon? This is too explosive."

The sky darkened instantly, and Gui Mei kept flying out from within Guizuka's body. The ground around the arena began to bulge, and suddenly, a stiff hand reached out from the ground.

Immediately after, hundreds or thousands of hands emerged, and a large number of zombies crawled out from the ground.

Mo Peng shouted: "Everyone, leave here quickly! This is too damn terrifying; old things that have been dead for thousands of years have all run out."

These zombies moved very quickly and were not hopping around; they pounced and bit whenever they saw living creatures, and the Gui Mei were also killing everywhere.

Not only were there Human Race zombies, but there were also Yao Beasts that had been dead for a long time, all of which had run out through Guizuka's summoning.

Yu Emperor was very angry: "Guizuka, this is a match; do not harm the innocent."

"Mo Ze, you personally take the guards to eliminate those Gui Mei and zombies."

"Yes... Father Emperor!"

Mo Ze was secretly delighted in his heart; he wished for things to be as chaotic as possible.

With Yu Emperor's strength, he would certainly be able to kill Guizuka, but that would completely offend the Ghost Race, which was something he didn't want to see. At most, some low-Rank Feather Race would die, which was insignificant and something Yu Emperor wouldn't care about.

Xiao Bai was also not in a hurry to act, observing the situation from the side.

The fishmonger says, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

The usually calm Tian Kui started to lose her temper, scolding Guizuka: "This is a duel between the two of us, why do you have to harm the innocent?"

Guizuka laughed wildly: "You forced me to do this! These Gui Mei and zombies will help me absorb massive amounts of energy, allowing my strength to skyrocket in a short period."

"As long as I can defeat you, it doesn't matter if all these ants die."

"Stubborn and incorrigible, I cannot let you live."

A white light appeared around Tian Kui's body, illuminating the entire pitch-black sky.

Her black robe fluttered in the wind, revealing nine snow-white fox tails.

Guizuka panicked: "Nine-Tailed Fox."

Subsequently, nine Nine-Tailed Foxes ran out from within Tian Kui's body, pouncing on Guizuka and blowing him to smithereens.

The pitch-black sky gradually returned to brightness, and the Gui Mei and zombies disappeared along with it.

All the Demons and Monsters present felt as if they had had a nightmare, completely unable to remember what had just happened.

Yu Emperor had been unable to open his eyes at the time due to the bright light of the explosion, and subsequently felt as if he had lost his memory, completely unable to recall what had just happened.

Thanks to the miraculous Cultivation Technique of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques, Xiao Bai saw everything clearly.

"Damn, so there really is a Nine-Tailed Fox, but why is the voice male? That shouldn't be right."

"Could it be a ladyboy, or is it possible there are male Nine-Tailed Foxes?"

Xiao Bai quickly shook his head: "No way, I absolutely refuse to accept a male Nine-Tailed Fox; my eyes will get dirty."

"The name Tian Kui must be something only a female demon could have. If I really get it wrong, I'll chop off one of my kun kun."

Chapter 109: The Position of Prince Consort Is as Good as Given Away

After the referee finished the countdown according to the procedure, Guizuka still did not appear.

So he announced loudly: "The winner is Tian Kui, congratulations to her for entering the finals."

"Next, we will take a one-hour break before the final championship match."

Tian Kui said coldly: "Let's just start directly."

The referee thought he had misheard and asked again twice, but the answer he received was the same as before.

The audience was amazed by the strength Tian Kui had displayed. It was time for the tense and exciting betting session again, and everyone was asking for Mo Peng's opinion.

"Little brother, which side should we bet on next? Your big brother is only a Level 3 Demon King; can he beat Tian Kui?"

"This..." Mo Peng hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat: "Ahem, well! Definitely bet on my big brother; big brother has never lost."

"I'm betting all my possessions on Bai Xiao. If you guys don't want to follow, I won't force you."

Saying this, he was somewhat lacking in confidence, and his tone was significantly weaker than before.
