C470 Provocation
Who won and who lost?
At that moment, both Lu Hanchang and Hou Haisheng seemed to be in a very sorry state. Their faces were pale, and their clothes were torn and tattered; a portion of their clothes were soaked with blood and stuck tightly to their bodies. Under the eyes of the crowd, who determined who would win and who would lose, the two figures fell down at the same time.
"Hua!"
When the two of them fell, the spectators on the spectating seats cried out in regret, their voices loud like they were venting the anger in their hearts. In this battle, the most taboo thing was to fall while both sides were injured, to the people who bet on it, it could be said that they would lose everything.
At this moment, from the Treasure Business Hall seating area, the short Teng Zhong finally understood why his hall master did not let him bet previously. It was likely that the hall master had predicted this outcome, and upon seeing the mountain-like figure of Lee Tian sitting there, he couldn't help but secretly admire him.
When the two of them fell at the same time, the Lu and Hou families couldn't help but stand up from their chairs, the faces of the two families were a little ugly, the Hou Family family's eyes were deep, looking at their eldest son who had collapsed, they were also a little surprised, other people did not know how great their son was, but he knew it, he did not expect Lu Hanchang to be able to fight Haisheng to a draw, which was truly out of his expectations, but fortunately Haisheng and he also wanted a big trump card. Thinking about this, Hou Jingtian could not help but look at the black-robed man who was resting with his eyes closed.
"After discussion, this match will be considered as a draw. I hope that the next group will prepare well."
Looking at the two people who had fallen on the arena, the judge from before announced loudly. According to the rules of the competition, if both sides were defeated, it would be considered as a draw.
After the referee finished, the two people walked onto the stage and carried Lu Hanchang and Hou Haisheng back to their respective VIP seats.
When the Patriarch of the Lu Family saw Lu Hanchang being carried back, he slowly came to his side. With a hand pressing slowly on his back, he injected a thick and strong wave of spirit energy into Lu Hanchang's body to ease his injuries. At this moment, the Great Clan Elder also stuffed a pill into Lu Hanchang's mouth.
"Big brother."
"Big brother!"
Lu Shiyao and Lu Yi came to Lu Hanchang's side and said in a soft voice. It seemed that their brother had suffered a heavy injury in this competition. It could be said that he had really risked his life for the sake of the family.
"Cough cough cough. Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't win. Cough cough." With Lu Antian's help, the unconscious Lu Hanchang slowly woke up and coughed a few times. His voice sounded very weak and his eyes were filled with unwillingness. Although he knew it was a draw, he still failed to win this match.
"Chang'er, you've already performed very well. Just focus on healing yourself." Currently, only his daughter could participate in the battle of Lu Family, and the other side still had two people who had not stepped down yet. Although Hou Jie's strength was at the same stage as his own daughter, but the person wrapped in a black robe made it so that he could not see through her, as if she could hide something, but Lu Antian was sure that her strength was not to be trifled with, and a sense of helplessness suddenly arose in his heart. If he really lost today, then their Lu Family in terms of position in Qingzhou would truly be lost as well.
"Big brother, don't think too much, just focus on recuperating. Leave the rest of the competition to me." Lu Shiyao looked at Lu Hanchang and said with a determined gaze. Although she said this, she did not have much confidence in herself. According to Lu Shiyao's guess, the main force of Hou Family should be the black-robed man.
Mu Yi, who was standing by the side, looked at the severely injured Lu Hanchang, thinking that Lu Hanchang did not have that killing move from before, and might not even have the chance to achieve a draw, or perhaps he might even lose to Hou Haisheng. At this moment, although the rest of the Lu Family were a little worried about Lu Haisheng' injuries, they did not have any signs of losing, as if they would definitely win this fight.
"Father, how are big brother's injuries?" This Lu Family, Hou Haisheng's strength, actually surprised him, he did not expect him to be able to fight with his big brother on equal footing. Fortunately, his father still had a hidden card in his hand today, and thinking about this, Hou Jie could not help but look at the black-robed man who was sitting there as if nothing had happened, he seemed to come from the west, and coincidentally, they had some contact with his family, so he decided to help.
"Father, in that case, let me go up the stage for the next match. I want to see who else from Lu Family can compete with me." Hou Jie continued to speak, and an evil smile appeared on his face, as though he had thought of a good method to deal with Lu Family.
"Alright, don't be too careless. Although that Lu Shiyao might not be a match for you, you still have to be careful." Hearing Hou Jie's words, Hou Jingtian immediately nodded.
"Hehe, father, don't worry. Before this, I will first make sure to completely lose face for my Lu Family." Hou Jie glanced at Mu Yi and said slowly.
As if he understood his son's intention, Hou Jingtian didn't say anything more. He eased Hou Haisheng's injury and returned to his seat of honor.
"It's time. The third round of the competition begins today. All participants from both sides, please come up onto the stage." Not long after, the area that was destroyed by Hou Haisheng and Lu Hanchang was restored, and now that the judge had reached the stage and shouted loudly, he did not stay on the stage any longer, as though he felt that the competition would quickly end, and his Lu Family did not have much of a chance of winning.
Swoosh!
The moment the judge's voice fell, Hou Jie's figure jumped up from the VIP seats, and landed gracefully on the stage. At the same time, the audience once again erupted into cheers, as though Hou Jie was the one who won the chips in the eyes of the audience, and everyone could see that at this moment, only Lu Shiyao could fight in Lu Family, and other than Hou Jie and a mysterious competitor, the people who lost their bet due to the previous sentence seemed to have started to get restless, as they wanted to reject the bet.
"My name is Hou Jie. May I know who Lu Family has sent to fight me?" Hou Jie seemed to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention. After pausing for a moment, he said to the VIP seats where Lu Family was.
"Oh right, didn't your brother in Lu Family challenge me? Now I will give you a chance to issue a challenge, if not others will still think that my Hou Family is bullying others. " Hou Jie continued to speak, and looked at Mu Yi who was calmly sitting on the chair, and said, today he will properly humiliate you in front of everyone in Qingzhou City, and see how much prestige your Lu Family will have in Qingzhou City.
"Hou Jie, if you want to fight, then I, Lu Shiyao, will play with you." Hearing the words of Hou Jie who was looking at Mu Yi, Lu Shiyao suddenly said in a serious tone. Hou Jie wanted to humiliate their Lu Family by humiliating Mu Yi.
"Little Sister Shiyao, this is a matter between men. You also don't want the outside world to say that the men of your Lu Family rely on women to eat, right?"
"You, you …" Lu Shiyao was also at a loss for words because of Hou Jie!
"Hehe, since Young Master Hou is so interested, I can only accompany you to the end, or else you will have a bad reputation." Mu Yi, who had been silent all this while, slowly got up from the chair and said calmly.
He had thought of many different situations, but he never expected Mu Yi to accept the challenge so straightforwardly. This confused Hou Jie. Could it be that his strength had recovered? Even if there were spirit medicines to recover meridians, most Martial Cultivator would not be able to recover so quickly in a few months. Even if he recovers his strength, he might not be as strong as me, Hou Jie was relieved when he thought of this.
"No, you can't participate."
"That's right, Shiyao will be the one to step down."
"Mn, our Lu Family cannot cause us to lose face."
Mu Yi's answer caused the people from the Lu Family to be shocked, especially the few elders who were centered around the Great Elder, who couldn't help but say that they absolutely couldn't allow this matter to happen. If they really allowed Mu Yi to get off the stage, not only would their Lu Family lose the competition, they would also lose their face today. This brat from Hou Family would definitely use this opportunity to humiliate Mu Yi.
"Young Master Mu, your injuries haven't fully healed yet. It's better if I go." At this moment, Lu Shiyao was also slightly angry at Mu Yi's words, but she still spoke tactfully. Under the current circumstances, from the perspective of outsiders, Mu Yi's words represented Lu Family, and this was not the time to be eloquent.
"Haha, looks like there's no one in Lu Family from the younger generation anymore, falling to the point of needing a woman to fight on stage. Mu Yi, if you are a man, then come down and fight with me. Seemingly knowing that Lu Family would not let Mu Yi compete so easily, Hou Jie once again spoke out to provoke him.
Even Patriarch Lu Antian's eyes flashed a hint of anger, but he did not speak up. His gaze was fixated on Mu Yi, as if he wanted to see something from this young man, but he did not obtain anything. At this moment, he did not dare to use the honor of operating Lu Family for many years as the gambling stake.
"Hehe, Lu Family Master, why not give it a try? Young people have ways to solve problems, I think Brother Mu can handle it well."
Just as the people from the Lu Family didn't know what to do, an elderly voice came from the Treasure Business Hall's VIP seats, and the voice carried a hint of a smile.
