Chapter 1379: No Bottom Line
“Haha, these two newcomers—I really don’t know if they’re overconfident or if they truly think everyone in Blood Demon City is a kind-hearted soul.”
“They dare to swagger out like this?”
“I’ve already gone out to take a look. The crowd gathered outside is so overwhelming that even a ninth-stage Demon General Realm expert would have to kneel.”
Seeing Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian brazenly heading toward the main entrance of the arena, the crowd in the Blood Demon Battle Arena sneered and followed them out. Su Jingzhen had won far too much at the betting tables, and everyone was eager to take advantage of the chaos.
“Ah, young master… what a pity. He must be from a superpower, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to produce such stakes. If he had listened to me, I would have risked my life to reach his sect. That might have given him a chance to survive, but now… it’s likely too late.”
The two women who had been in Su Jingzhen’s arms sighed. They didn’t even bother to examine the Demon Sage Realm treasures he had given them, even though those treasures were worth more than they could earn in a year.
The other woman, however, watched Su Jingzhen’s calm demeanor and her eyes gradually lit up.
“Do you think it’s possible that this young master knows his situation but is still determined to leave because he has absolute confidence? I have a feeling that the silent man beside him is no ordinary figure.”
“This is even more intense than I imagined.”
He still wore a faint smile, but in his mind, he was calculating how much killing aura he could harvest if he turned all these people into it. It would likely far surpass what Jin Zhongbao and the others had provided.
“Are there any tricky ones? Should we call Mo Xuanling out?” Su Jingzhen glanced at Mo Xuantian.
The latter shook his head. “No need. You’ve been dealing with beings like me for a while now, but you’ve forgotten that Demon Kings are extremely rare in the Boundless Demon Realm. At least, those who have truly reached the Demon King level wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen felt reassured.
At that moment, the enforcers from the Blood Demon Battle Arena who had escorted them out suddenly removed their uniforms, revealing their true intentions. They glared at Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian with malicious intent.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian were momentarily stunned. They hadn’t expected these enforcers to try to take advantage of their proximity.
“Once we leave the arena, we are no longer enforcers. Now, hand over all the winnings from earlier.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen sneered. These people had truly taught him a lesson. He knew that Blood Demon City, like the City of Chaos, had no bottom line, but he hadn’t expected it to go this far. Once outside the Blood Demon Battle Arena, even the enforcers, who were supposed to uphold order, became the most direct bandits.
“Why are you two so attached to mere material possessions? Remember, your lives are what matter most. You’ve had such good luck in the arena, but you should know that when your strength isn’t enough, you can’t hold onto so many things.”
As they spoke, the enforcers’ auras enveloped Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian. The leader was the fifth-stage Demon General Realm elder.
A fifth-stage Demon General Realm expert could be considered top-tier in Blood Demon City.
Seeing the enforcers suddenly turn on Su Jingzhen, the crowd outside grew restless. If the enforcers took everything, what was the point of them waiting here?
“Elder Yan, shouldn’t we all share the spoils? It’s not fair for you to take everything.”
“That’s right! Kill them, take the treasures, and then we’ll decide how to split them!”
Among the bandits were several Demon General Realm experts. They immediately locked onto the enforcers, ready to fight if necessary.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the street, Jin Zhongbao and his group of Realm Merchants watched the scene with furrowed brows.
“With this kind of lineup, even a ninth-stage Demon General Realm expert might not be able to handle it. And this situation was clearly provoked by them. Could it be that the person behind him truly has Demon King-level strength?”
Jin Zhongbao spoke gravely. He was an eighth-stage Demon General Realm expert, but even he wouldn’t be confident of surviving in Su Jingzhen’s position.
“If he really has a Demon King-level follower with him at all times, then his identity might indeed be that person who’s been causing such a stir in the Moluo Realm recently.”
As he spoke, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Jin Zhongbao’s eyes.
In the next moment, Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian still didn’t respond. The dozen or so enforcers around them suddenly became more aggressive.
However, before their violent energy could reach Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian, the enforcers, including the fifth-stage Demon General Realm elder, abruptly exploded into clouds of blood mist.
The scene was both eerie and gruesome.
The gamblers who had been rushing toward them suddenly froze in fear.
“What just happened? How did they die?”
“Even Elder Yan, a fifth-stage Demon General Realm expert, died instantly? Who are these two?”
“Forget it, let’s just watch for now. This guy is too strange.”
As they muttered in shock, the gamblers who had followed Su Jingzhen out of the arena instinctively backed away.
Now that Mo Xuantian had made his move, he wasn’t about to let anyone who had harbored killing intent toward Su Jingzhen escape. One by one, they were enveloped by his aura.
In the next moment, a series of muffled explosions rang out.
One figure after another turned into blood mist and dissipated.
In just a dozen breaths, more than half of the people gathered in the square outside the arena had mysteriously exploded.
From beginning to end, no one saw how Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian had made their move.
The unknown is always more terrifying.
Throughout it all, Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian maintained their calm, faint smiles.
