n

nPresident Zhu thought that no matter how stupid these humans were, they would not make such a request. However, the human race had indeed made such a request and wanted to fight them openly.

n

n“Then we’ll follow the past rules of Rong City.”

n

nPresident Zhu was overjoyed. He gathered the entire population of Rong City and everyone gathered in the arena in the center of the city.

n

n“Now, we indeed need to choose a new City Lord. This new City Lord must be strong enough, so it’s better to compete to decide on the new City Lord.”

n

nYe Qiluo stood at the side with many humans behind her. These humans seemed to follow her lead.

n

nQiu Muyun was still worried at the beginning, but when he really arrived, the worry in his heart had already disappeared without a trace. Looking at the demons baring their teeth at the side, his heart was filled with surging power. He wished he could immediately go up and fight the demons.

n

n“These humans are really tired of living. I’ve long disliked them. I must be the first to make a move now that there’s such a chance. Hurry up and deal with these stupid humans. If we chase them out, Rong City will be ours again in the future!”

n

nThe demons were overjoyed.

n

n“Don’t fight with me. I still have to kill two more humans!”

n

n“Yo, look at your bragging!” The humans were not polite at all and retorted, “I feel disgusted by you demons. I’m going to make a killing today and kill you all. Let’s see how arrogant you can still be!”

n

n“A mere human dares to speak so arrogantly. It’s really outrageous!”

n

n“That’s right! They’ll know what’s good for them when they get on the arena later.”

n

nBoth sides were arguing with each other, neither giving in to the other. The two groups of people who had long disliked each other could not hold back anymore. If not for the rules set by the higher-ups, they would have attacked long ago.

n

nPresident Zhu also noticed the actions below. He saw that they could not endure it for long. After simply announcing the rules, he hurriedly left the stage.

n

nThe rules of the City Lord selection were simple. Whoever had the guts to go up and guard the arena, no matter what tactics they used, as long as no one went up to challenge in the end, it would be considered over.

n

nThis was basically nothing. The reason for the rules was very simple. In the past, when these demons set these rules, they were very casual. Moreover, with their habits, it was not suitable for them to use some complicated rules.

n

nThis simple and crude rule suited them the best.

n

n“If everyone is certain, then the new City Lord Selection will officially begin!”

n

nMany people had gathered here today. Most of the people who could stand in front were people with long luck. These people were strong and occupied the advantageous terrain ahead. No one dared to snatch the position from them. Moreover, these people were usually strong competitors for the position of City Lord.

n

nAs long as they were here, the weaker ones behind them would stay behind obediently. They would not have a chance. However, they were not in a hurry to go forward from the beginning and left some opportunities for the little demons below to practice.

n

nMoreover, they had already thought it through. In any case, the little demons below had such a powerful hatred for the human race. They might as well let them go up and vent it first.

n

nIn the end, the position of City Lord was still in the hands of the demons. They were not in a hurry now.

n

nAs soon as President Zhu finished announcing, a demon could not hold it in anymore and jumped onto the arena.

n

nThis demon had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was short and half of his body was covered in brownish-yellow fur. He looked like a monkey.

n

nAfter the little monkey went up, he first squatted on the arena and scratched his ears and cheeks. He looked at the humans below with a greedy expression.

n

n“You guys don’t have the guts. It’s been a long time, but not a single person has come up to fight. In my opinion, you guys can’t think about it anymore. Isn’t it better to go back and be someone’s servant?”

n

n“Hahaha. That’s right. Humans are born to be slaves. Now that you’ve given up on being a slave and insist on causing trouble, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

n

nThe demons below also cheered when the little monkey went up and instigated.

n

nThese two sentences completely angered the conflict between the two sides. Neither side liked the other. The already tense atmosphere was now in full swing.

n

n“I think you guys are quite loud, but all of you are as timid as ants on the ground. None of you dare to come up. What’s the point of screaming down there?”

n

n“They don’t have the guts to come up. Don’t wait. It’s a waste of time.”

n

n“In my opinion, the humans should leave quickly.”

n

nJust as the demons were mocking happily, a person suddenly jumped out from the humans. This person was tall and strong. He stepped on the arena and as soon as he stepped on it, it trembled.

n

nAlthough the little monkey spoke arrogantly, his actions were very low-key. Seeing that the other party had sent an expert up and that he was not strong enough, he did not dare to be negligent. He was on guard as he stared at the big guy who had jumped onto the stage.

n

n“Silly big guy, why did you come up? Why didn’t you go back and eat two buckets of rice? Are you here to embarrass yourself?”

n

n“Hahaha! He’s just a good-for-nothing!”

n

nThe burly man was even more furious when he heard his words. He stretched out his huge palm and grabbed at the little monkey.

n

nThere were no restrictions on their competition. No matter what methods they used, as long as they could obtain the final victory, it’s fine.

n

nAlthough the little monkey was shouting loudly, he was very meticulous. He was already prepared to attack after shouting.

n

nThe burly man’s large hands were close to him, but the little monkey did not panic at all. He nimbly turned around and dodged. The burly man was still fast enough, but the little monkey’s twist was also powerful enough. It only took the blink of an eye.

n

nBefore the people below could even see what was happening above, the simple confrontation above had already ended.

n

n“Well done!”

n

nBoth sides were trying their best to shout.

n

nThe burly human looked at the place where the little monkey had appeared again. A hint of seriousness flashed across his eyes, but he still said disdainfully, “Bastard, you only know how to hide. If you have the ability, fight me head-on!”

n

nThe little monkey sneered and said, “Come on, you only have this much strength. Other than this strength, you don’t have anything else. I don’t know why you’re so arrogant.”

n

n“But it’s more than enough to deal with you!” The burly man shouted and suddenly pounced forward. The commotion was so huge that it was dazzling. For a moment, they could not tell where he was.

n

nThere seemed to be a faintly discernible transparent pipe behind him that connected to it. The other end seemed to be on Ye Qiluo’s body.

n

nShouts sounded in the arena. When it calmed down, the little monkey had already appeared in the burly man’s palm with a terrified expression.

n

n“Let go of me!”

n

nThe burly man raised the little monkey high and slammed it heavily against his raised knee. If this continued, the little monkey would lose at least half her life.

n

nAt this moment, President Zhu suddenly attacked. With a wave of his sleeve, a gust of wind blew and the little monkey in the burly man’s hand disappeared.

n

n“Leave some leeway. This is just the City Lord election. There’s no need to kill anyone!”

n

nPresident Zhu glared at Ye Qiluo with a livid expression.

n

nYe Qiluo smiled.

n

nJust like that, the battle between the humans and the demons took place one after another. The strength displayed by these humans far exceeded the imagination of the demons.

n

nThe demons still thought that the human race was a pushover that they could easily crush in the past. However, the strength of the human race had improved very quickly and far exceeded their expectations.

n

nThe demons had probably encountered a tough nut to crack.

n

nQiu Muyun was lucky this time. It was not his turn to go up. He was in a daze when he suddenly felt something beside him. He turned around and saw Li Yuanqing.

n

n“Brother Li, why are you here?”

n

n“I heard that it’s lively here, so I rushed over to take a look.” Li Yuanqing yawned.

n

n“It’s dangerous to stay here. I think these demons won’t let us off if they win the competition.”

n

nLi Yuanqing did not seem to care. “Don’t think too much about it. Just watch the competition.”

n

nDuring the break, President Zhu and the other demons gathered in a secret room.

n

n“President, the second half is over. If this continues, the situation won’t be good for us.” A middle-aged man with narrow eyes and an elegant figure said coldly.

n

nA burly man with horns on his head sitting beside him said disdainfully, “Isn’t it going according to our plan now? When the humans are almost exhausted, we’ll destroy them all here. I’ve never thought of letting them leave.”

n

n“That’s right. These humans are very arrogant now, but they have also consumed a lot of energy. These people are almost exhausted. Aren’t they all the food we mentioned?”

n

nIt turned out that the demons had long planned to take advantage of the opportunity to hold the arena here to wear down the strength of the human race. At that time, the human race could only sit and wait for death. They would be little pitiful worms.

n

nThe person who spoke first was silent. He only replied, “I keep feeling that something is wrong.”

n

n“What’s wrong?”

n

n“I think you’re much more timid than before. Ever since the incident with She Tianjun, it seems like there isn’t a single person in your Long Worm Clan who has the guts.”

n

n“That seems to be the case. The Long Worm Clan will probably have to remove the word ‘long’ soon.”

n

nThe demons present looked at the silent man in amusement and teased him about this. Although the man was helpless, he had nothing to refute.

n

nPresident Zhu saw that the situation was not right and said reproachfully, “Now is the time to work together. How can we panic?”

n

n“President, how do you think we should deal with this matter? Are we going to release all these humans and let them leave Rong City? I can’t accept that!”

n

nPresident Zhu thought for a moment and said, “Of course, the plan has to be carried out. However, I see that there are a few experts among the humans. I’m afraid something will happen.”

n

nAs President Zhu spoke, he looked at a hunched old man beside him. The old man had not said anything.

n

n“Fire Sect Elder.”

n

nThe old man only heard President Zhu call him. He nodded slightly and agreed. “President, don’t worry. If you can’t handle it, leave it to me.”

n

n“Thank you, Elder! I’m relieved.”

n

nAfter President Zhu made the arrangements, he left the room with everyone and returned to the venue.

n

nThere was already a human waiting on the arena.

n

n“Ignorant fool!”

n

nThe person who said this had golden fur and a wide nose. His voice was like a bell, as if he was transformed from a lion.

n

n“President Zhu, since you no longer have any worries, let me clear some obstacles for you first.”

n

nWith that, the lion suddenly jumped up and landed on the arena. The human waiting on the arena only glanced at him when he landed.

n

n“Impudent human, today is your death day. Do you have anything else to say?”

n

n“Old thing, it’s hard to say who will live or die today. Don’t be so sure. If you die miserably later, you will become a laughing stock.”

n

n“How dare you!” The lion demon shouted and pounced on the human. His palms became thick and were two thick furry lion arms.

n

nIt was unknown what kind of ability the other party had, but his figure was extremely agile. He only bent down and successfully crawled under the lion’s crotch.

n

nThe lion was furious when he saw this. He turned around and charged over, following closely behind.

n

nThe quality of the second half was clearly much higher than the first half. The deafening explosion and the intense energy that leaked out from the arena made it difficult for people to breathe.

n

nAfter a few battles, Ye Qiluo was the only human left. After the demons defeated the last human, they looked at her proudly in the arena.

n

n“Girl, stop hiding there. Come up and let me test your skills. Stop pretending to be shy!”

n

nYe Qiluo’s figure flashed and disappeared.

n

n“Brother Li, even Pavilion Master Ye has gone up, what should we do now? We don’t have any more methods.” Qiu Muyun was already thinking of retreating.

n

nLi Yuanqing nodded and said, “There’s indeed no suspense now. Let’s go somewhere else. It might be too bloody here later.”

n

n“Brother Li, although I also want to fight with them to the end, this matter is still too dangerous. Let’s leave quickly.”

n

nAs Li Yuanqing spoke, he turned around and left without hesitation, as if he was completely unconcerned about the outcome of the arena behind him.

n

nHowever, what puzzled Qiu Muyun was that Li Yuanqing did not walk out of the city. Instead, he walked around the city and found a higher platform before jumping onto it.

n

n“Brother Li, why are you going up there? It’s very dangerous here. We have to leave quickly!”

n

nLi Yuanqing smiled and greeted him, “The scenery here is very good. Come up too.”
