The road is vague

Chapter 371 Gladiator Ace (Part 4)

Every night, Xinian City enters a time of all-out gladiatorial frenzy.

Even families with modest means would go to a nearby smaller arena, where the whole family would sit together and enjoy and discuss the various gladiator performances.

And if one could catch up with the competition between professional gladiators and slave gladiators, that would be even better.

Once they get into the mood, they might spend a small amount of money to place a bet.

Li Mo stood at the entrance to the underground level, letting the maids dress him up in an extravagant manner according to the plot, while looking at the exhibition match taking place in the arena.

This story is about the Black Sea Queen escaping from the slave plantation, encountering various demons and monsters along the way, and finally escaping to safety.

Six free gladiators appeared during the exhibition match, all of whom strictly followed the plot and lost to the Black Sea Queen as subtly as possible.

finally.

The Black Sea Queen challenges the powerful dragon slave master.

Facing the powerful dragon slave master, although she was defeated, fortunately, due to the previous skit, she had already stalled for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, thus managing to escape the gladiatorial barrier and avoid death, only suffering another defeat.

Fortunately, the Black Sea Queen's storyline revolves around escaping the slave plantation. Coupled with the groundwork laid by the previous free gladiators, even though the already exhausted Black Sea Queen failed to defeat the powerful dragon slave owner, her successful escape is still consistent with the plot and won't provoke any negative reactions from the audience.

Li Mo chuckled lightly; it was now his turn to take the stage.

"A-Fu really put a lot of effort into writing the plot."

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, no professional gladiator is allowed to surrender; defeat means death.

At this time.

The host in the arena changed the barrier and created new terrain while beginning the story presentation.

“Every hundred years, the barbaric tribes of the wasteland, following their evil doctrines, would form a vast army and cross the Forbidden Sea to invade the Longevity Dynasty. However, the Forbidden Sea was extremely dangerous. A solar ship was thrown into the sky by the surging waves and shattered by a spatial rift. Many barbarian soldiers died tragically, leaving only four barbarian warriors who boarded a life raft, deviated from their course, and sailed towards a mysterious, unknown island…”

The terrain of the arena has changed into a small island surrounded by seawater due to the change of the barrier.

Immediately afterwards, four Misty Clan slave gladiators arrived at the central island of the arena in a simple wooden raft, filled with fear and trepidation.

These four ethereal races are the Leopard People, Pig People, Sheep People, and Eagle People. Their appearances are basically no different from those of humans, except for some additional racial characteristics.

They have been promised that they can become free gladiators if they kill their target.

The audience outside the venue gradually became immersed in the situational drama as the host explained, and the host's voice had an indescribable magnetism.

suddenly!

The host's voice suddenly rose several octaves.

"However, they were unaware of the terrifying dangers that awaited them on this mysterious, thunder-ravaged island. The Thunder Punishment Venerable was none other than a rogue cultivator on this island!!"

As the gate in front of him opened, Li Mo silently flew over the island.

Following Afu's instructions, he continuously unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts and summoned a giant thunderbolt, creating an exaggerated visual effect that quickly drew shouts from the ordinary spectators outside the arena.

Li Mo could naturally understand the excitement of mortals when they saw a Golden Core cultivator perform.

There's no need to go into detail about the betting process outside.

The four ethereal beings on the other side of the arena island, separated by a barrier, stared wide-eyed as they watched Li Mo fly freely in the air without any magical power or spiritual light. Their eyes widened in disbelief, followed by deep despair and bitterness.

But in order to survive, the four had no choice but to encourage each other and grit their teeth to prepare for battle.

Their expressions were quite similar to those of desperate landing participants in a sitcom.

With the betting period over, the actual gladiatorial combat began.

"start!"

As the host gave the order, the barrier between the two sides on the island disappeared, and the four Misty Clan members quickly dispersed, trying to use their numerical advantage to surround Li Mo and launch an attack from all directions, making him unable to fight against so many and thus gaining a chance to survive.

The Thunder Giant, standing over two zhang tall, bears some resemblance to the previous combined attack puppet. It is a half-human, half-bird form, over two zhang tall, and its entire body is enveloped in pure, blazing white lightning power.

It swung its thunder sword fiercely.

As the rolling torrents of thunder surged forth, the ethereal leopard-men, who were racing wildly on the island trying to circle around behind Li Mo, seemed to be facing divine punishment, desperately trying to evade the pursuit of the thunderous torrents with their astonishing speed.

Where the torrent of lightning passed, rocks shattered and flew everywhere, forming a shocking ravine.

Seeing the relentless torrent of lightning descending from the sky, with no way to avoid it, the leopard-man let out a deafening roar, leaped up, and swung his hands to form claws. However, he only managed to block the torrent of lightning for a moment before being blasted away and falling into the sea.

Fortunately, being a member of the Misty Clan, this leopard-man possessed a remarkably strong physique, and it survived its severe injuries.

However, just as the leopard emerged from the water, a huge shadow descended from the sky.

Boom!
As the Thunder Giant crashed down, the nearby sea surface instantly erupted with a spray of water, and the entire sea seemed to boil.

The leopard man was instantly torn to pieces and died, a scene that was quite bloody and violent, which immediately caused the spectators outside the arena to scream excitedly, holding up their betting tickets and shouting continuously.

After all, most of the dragon people who can afford to spend money at the Fearless Arena are just ordinary people from the surrounding area.

On the other side, the sheep-man, relying on his powerful physique, leaped into the air and charged towards Li Mo.

The two horns on his head formed a pale golden phantom, seemingly indestructible, ready to smash the enemy in front of him.

While there are individual differences in the physique of the Misty Goat-People race, and some individuals possess extraordinary talents, overall they can only be considered to be below average among the Misty Hundred Races.

"Thunder Fist!"

Li Mo chose to confront them head-on.

The intense, scorching white lightning, containing devastating power, surged outwards in all directions, spreading like ripples, creating a truly breathtaking visual effect.

High-level spells have the property of drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, often resulting in unusual phenomena in the natural world.

Faced with Li Mo's suppression of his cultivation level, even though the sheep-man unleashed his full power in a single strike, he was ultimately no match for the might of the Thunder God Fist. After being pierced by the scorching white lightning, his corpse exploded in mid-air under the onslaught of the raging lightning, turning into a cloud of blood mist swirling with lightning, with fragments flying everywhere.

At this moment, the eagle-man, relying on its agility and speed, attacked Li Mo from behind without regard for anything else.

Li Mo, however, seemed to have foreseen the future. His body instantly transformed into lightning, dodging the eagle-man's sneak attack. Then, the lightning re-formed above his head, and he swung out a lightning spear.

Zha Nian's thunder spear flashed and disappeared in an instant.

However, the eagle-man managed to escape this short distance of less than a few feet by rolling over.

boom!
A huge crater was blown out of the island.

A slight hint of surprise flashed in Li Mo's eyes, but it was only a hint.

He sneered, maintained a parallel distance from his opponent, and extended his right hand, as five-colored lightning descended from the sky.

Faced with the Five Thunders to Dust Divine Power, the Eagle Man tried to dodge by diving, but was relentlessly pursued.

Knowing that he could not avoid it, the eagle-man immediately used his inner energy to unleash two claw beams like a human martial artist. However, when faced with the Five Thunders to Dust Divine Power, it shattered upon contact, turning into a cloud of blood mist amidst screams and shrieks, with feathers flying everywhere.

The fat, pig-man was noticeably slower.

Although it possessed the strongest physique among the four, it was terrified and fled into the sea in a panic, crying desperately.

"Waaah, Mommy, I want to go home..."

This scene immediately excited and thrilled the dragon people in the audience.

"Kill it!"

"Kill it!"

"Kill it..."

Countless shouts, like surging waves, came one after another.

Even many young dragonkin stood up and shouted, and the entire Fearless Arena entered into a frenzy.

Even the supervisor, Afu, couldn't help but get excited when he saw this.

"Haha! As expected of the ace seed found by the host, this Thunder Punishment Venerable's thunder technique is simply perfect for gladiator performances!"

Li Mo slowly descended from the sky, flying three zhang high in the air, following the pig-man at a leisurely pace, watching him flee towards the sea.

But this is a gladiatorial arena, so where can it escape to?

He could sense that the other party's Dao heart had collapsed, and he could also feel the audience outside the barrier were excited. But for him, using his Golden Core cultivation to kill several Foundation Establishment stage Misty Clan members and unleash various high-level lightning techniques was a waste of his talents.

Sensing that the audience outside had reached a point where their emotions were building up, Li Mo activated the Thunder Dragon in the Sky technique.

The raging lightning energy converged in the sky, quickly forming rolling thunderclouds. Then, a bolt of cyan lightning descended, vaguely forming the phantom of a dragon, which swung its head and tail as it charged towards the irrational pigman.

boom!
The nearby sea surface instantly exploded and boiled. At the moment the ethereal pigman was torn apart, the audience outside the arena reached a climax, with screams and shouts echoing throughout the arena, and people kept calling out the name of Thunder Punishment Venerable.

After the performance, Li Mo left the arena and returned to the preparation area on the first basement floor.

Several maids quickly stepped forward and removed his extravagant costume.

Supervisor Afu walked over quickly with a big smile on his face.

"Haha, what a thrilling and perfect performance! I haven't seen such an exciting gladiator show in a long time!"

Although Li Mo didn't like this kind of performance, he could only do his best in order to complete the mission.

Therefore, he nodded and did not say anything more.

"There's a saying in the Lost Continent: big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp. This is actually a true reflection of all gladiators. But exhibition matches are just exhibition matches. What can really attract those big clients and investors is bloody duels, not gladiator performances."

Afu was all smiles.

"I have high hopes for your life-or-death duel with Xiong Lishi the day after tomorrow. Try to take control of the two investors behind him. If you can attract new investors during this opportunity, that would be even better!"
