Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

"If you want me dead, you'll have to see if you have the ability." Without paying much attention to the Tooth Demon, Lu Yan drew his knife and charged.

"Clang~"

The clash of the knives and clubs sparked a burst of sparks.

"What strength!" Tooth Demon took two steps back and looked at Lu Yan with disbelief.

I thought Lu Yan was at his limit, but I didn't expect him to still have strength left.

"Go! Go! Go! Kill that horned demon! Kill him!" The demons on the stage shouted as the two demons began to fight.

"Even the strongest can die!" Tooth Demon swung his club to meet Lu Yan's broadsword once again.

"Clang clang clang~" The two demons fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, having a great time, and the scene was very noisy.

"Wow~ This horned demon has some skills. Just now, I saw that he was clearly exhausted, but now he has managed to suppress this toothed demon with his swordsmanship and skills. It seems that the outcome is already decided." The manager of the fighting arena was somewhat surprised to see this scene.

Sure enough, Lu Yan killed the Tooth Demon with a single strike as soon as the steward finished speaking.

"Damn! How could they lose like this? What the hell is that Tooth Demon good for?"

"Exactly, if they can't even beat this, they should have died long ago, making me lose so many magic stones."

With the defeat of Tooth Demon, the stands erupted in curses.

"Ximen Mengde, do you want to continue?" The mastermind asked Lu Yan again after the venue was cleaned up.

"Again," Lu Yan replied, feigning exhaustion.

"OK."

A moment later, another demon entered the fray, still a level two demon soldier.

Just like last time, seeing how exhausted Lu Yan was, no one believed he could win and they all bet on the other side to win.

But the result was another slap in the face, and Lu Yan won once again with a "hardship".

"This time, we'll assign him a level three magic soldier." Seeing that Lu Yan had already won three consecutive victories, the manager immediately increased the strength of his opponent.

"Yes."

……

"The opponent this time is a level three demon soldier, a Devourer." As soon as the presiding demon finished speaking, a Devourer wielding a steel fork quickly jumped onto the stage.

"Bet! Everyone, bet now!" The gambling table manager was beaming with joy because Lu Yan had earned a lot of magic stones the previous two times.

"I'm betting five magic stones on the Devourer. I refuse to believe that this horned demon, no matter how powerful, can fight someone of a higher level!"

"Exactly! I bet three magic stones, and we've already fought three battles. No matter how strong he is, he's exhausted. This time, the Demon Eater will definitely win."

This betting scene was almost one-sided, with only a few demons betting on Lu Yan, while the rest of the demons were betting on the Devouring Demon.

"Hehe~ I'm lucky today, I can have a big meal." The food demon unconsciously licked his teeth after seeing Lu Yan, which made him look particularly ferocious with his big, upright mouth.

Upon hearing his words, Lu Yan's eyes turned cold.

In the memory of that horned demon, unless one cultivated special techniques or possessed special supernatural powers, demons generally did not cannibalize each other.

But this food demon is an exception. This thing has no prejudice and eats whatever it catches. It doesn't care about demon members, and it even eats its own relatives without hesitation. It has always been ostracized by other demons.

However, one thing must be admitted: although this demon eater has no bottom line, he is really good at fighting and ranks among the top in the lower-level demon race.

"Go! Go! Go! Eat it! Eat it!" As soon as the Food Demon entered the arena, cheers erupted from the stands, urging it to hurry up and make its move.

"Look, so many demons want you to die soon, so why don't you grant their wish?" The demon licked the tip of the steel fork in its hand as it said this.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get started!" Lu Yan, carrying a knife, launched the first attack.

"Little horned demon, you'll die here today!" The demon didn't take Lu Yan's attack seriously, and with a flick of its steel fork, it smashed it directly at Lu Yan.

"Boom!" Lu Yan twisted his body to dodge.

"Yo~ Pretty slippery." After missing several times in a row, the Food Demon had no choice but to get serious.

……

"Although this horned demon is weaker than the eating demon, his use of swordsmanship and movement is superior. The outcome of this battle is hard to predict." The steward, seeing that the two demons had already fought for more than ten rounds, began to explain to the demon next to him.

"Hopefully, that horned demon will win again this time, so we can earn even more magic stones."

"Indeed, but this horned demon's cultivation is really low. Otherwise, we could try to win him over and train him to be a henchman in our Demon Fighting Arena." The manager shook his head in disappointment as he said this.

To conceal his true strength, Lu Yan cooperated with him for another dozen or so rounds, taking a few hits in the process and sustaining minor injuries. Finally, he took advantage of the Devourer's unpreparedness to severely injure and defeat him.

"Whoa~"

"Damn, is this food demon that weak? It can't even beat a level two demon soldier."

"You piece of shit, you deserved to die!"

"My magic stones! Ten of them! That's two months' salary for me. How am I supposed to survive without magic stones?"

That cannibal deserves to die! It really deserves to die!

With the Demon Eater defeated, another round of insults erupted from the stands.

"Ximen Mengde, do you want to continue?" The master demon asked, seeing Lu Yan lying exhausted on the ground.

"Continue~" Lu Yan said firmly, panting heavily.

"You'd better think this through. The next one will definitely be a level three magic soldier, and you probably can't even beat a level one magic soldier in your current state," the chief demon couldn't help but advise when Lu Yan wanted to continue.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'll continue." Lu Yan struggled to his feet.

"In that case, we'll find you an opponent." Seeing Lu Yan's determination, the mastermind shook his head and said nothing more.

A while later, the opponent arranged for Lu Yan in the Demon Arena came up on stage: a level three demon soldier from the Purple Scorpion Demon Clan.

"Huh? This horned demon is already like this, and you're still going to continue?"

"He's gone mad!"

"Hmph! It's better that he's dead. He made me lose so many magic stones."

"Who should we bet on this time?"

"I'm definitely betting on the Purple Scorpion Demon. If that Horned Demon wins again this time, I'll eat shit."

Me too.

There was still no sign of Lu Yan at the gambling table.

"start."

At the command of the master demon, Lu Yan and the purple scorpion demon began to fight.

"Whoosh~" Lu Yan flipped over to dodge the Purple Scorpion Demon's tail hook.

It has to be said that having an extra part on your body is very useful, making it difficult for your opponent to defend against in battle.

Lu Yan pretended to be weak and focused on defense and dodging, avoiding the Purple Scorpion Demon's attacks time and time again.

"Boy, your good luck ends here today. You'll die on this stage." The Purple Scorpion Demon swiftly swung the two short swords in his hand, coordinating perfectly with his tail hook.

"Jingle bells~"

Sparks flew across the stage.

"What's going on? We've been fighting for over thirty rounds, how come this horned demon hasn't been defeated yet?" But as the fighting went on, the demons sensed something was wrong.

Lu Yan appeared to be on the verge of collapse, but he refused to give up, continuing to fight the Purple Scorpion Demon despite his exhaustion.

"Is this horned demon really that powerful?" The audience in the stands were incredulous.
