Gu Lie
The square fell into a dead silence. Everyone's eyes were focused on the square. In the square, Zhuo Xiangding and Wang Yuanxing were facing each other from a distance. Both of them were faintly exuding a terrifying aura. This aura had far surpassed that of everyone present.
The two of them were the two Clan Heads of the three big Clans. They could be considered the top fighters in Rattan Armor City. Their tit for tat naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few more whooshing sounds were heard. Zhuo Beitian and Zhuo Dingtian, who were on the Zhuo Family's platform, rushed into the field, looking at Wang Yuanxing with vigilance. Three middle-aged men also came from the Wang Family's platform and stood behind Wang Yuanxing, eyeing Zhuo Xiangding with hostility.
On the platform, Chen Sheng's eyes flickered as he looked at the arena. A gloating smile appeared on his face.
The face of the old man in charge immediately turned gloomy when he saw the two families facing each other from a distance. Just as he was about to step forward to stop the two of them, a voice transmission was suddenly transmitted into his ears. His eyes immediately turned towards the platform of the City Lord's mansion.
On the platform, a middle-aged man with white hair slowly stood up. His eyes glanced indifferently at the old man.
The old host hesitated for a moment before bowing to one of them. His figure flashed and returned to the platform. He stood behind this person without saying a word.
The actions of the hosting old man also attracted the attention of quite a number of people. When everyone saw the old man standing respectfully behind a blue-clothed man, a trace of astonishment appeared in their eyes.
Zhuo Xiangding's gaze also converged on the blue-clothed man. His face was first startled, but soon after, a trace of reverence appeared on his face.
Zhuowen had also sensed Zhuo Xiangding's abnormal behavior. His gaze was also focused on the blue-clothed man. He knew that the person who could make Zhuo Xiangding reveal such an expression definitely had a high status in the City Lord's Mansion.
The middle-aged man's face was rather dignified. There was a trace of wrinkles on his forehead. His face was mature and handsome. He must have been a handsome young master when he was young.
However, what made Zhuowen frown was that there was an unfriendly gaze directed at him from beside the middle-aged man. Turning his gaze, Zhuowen suddenly realized that Gu Shang had unknowingly stood beside the middle-aged man and was looking at him with a ferocious expression.
Zhuowen's heart sank. He knew that this middle-aged man with a high status had a close relationship with Gu Shang. With Gu Shang's nature of Gu Shang's Mansion, he would not let the Zhuo Family easily.
"Father!
Gu Shang........ "Gu Shang Gu Shang looked at Zhuowen in the arena.... Gu Shang, Gu Shang.... Gu Gu Shang, Gu Shang. Gu Shang's Is. Zhuowen....
For some unknown reason, he would feel extremely displeased every time he saw Zhuowen's calm as water expression. Adding on the fact that he had suffered a great loss at the hands of Zhuowen the last time, his hatred for Zhuowen had become even denser.
Although he was a little surprised that Zhuowen had successfully challenged the revival battle, the person in charge of this market battle was his father. So what if Zhuowen had successfully challenged the revival battle?
The final decision was in the hands of his father.
"So what if he has won?
At times, an individual's strength is useless. Only a powerful faction can decide everything. Zhuowen, since you have offended me, Gu Shang, you can forget about having an easy time. "Gu Shang's gaze was dark and cold as it swept over Zhuowen. He quietly said in his heart.
The middle-aged man glanced at Gu Shang. His gaze immediately focused on the young figure in the arena. His somewhat magnetic voice slowly spread throughout the entire arena.
"I am the person in charge of this market battle, Gu Lie. There is no need for your two clans to argue now. I will make a decision later."
Gu Lie's words immediately caused an uproar. From his tone, Gu Lie's words were very courteous. However, it was obvious that the Zhuo Family had won the market battle this time. Yet, Gu Lie said that he would make a decision later. These words were clearly biased towards the Wang Clan.
Zhuo Xiangding's expression sunk slightly. He did not expect that not only did Gu Lie not announce that the Zhuo Family was the victor this time, but he was also stalling for time.
At this moment, Wang Yuanxing, who was standing in front of Zhuo Xiangding, had a respectful expression as he cupped his hands towards Gu Lie. He said, "Although the Zhuo Family's Zhuowen has won the revival battle this time, this person's heart is vicious and his methods are vicious. Every move he makes is aimed at a vital spot. If such a vicious and merciless person becomes the champion of the market battle, I'm afraid that it will go against the principles of the market battle. I hope that Sir Gu Lie can be impartial."
Wang Yuanxing's words immediately caused the members of the Zhuo Family to hiss. Quite a number of people stared at him with furious gazes. They did not expect that Wang Yuanxing, the head of the Wang Clan, would act so disgustingly. The battle originally had some injuries, but in Wang Yuanxing's words, it became vicious and merciless.
However, what caused everyone to be taken aback was that Gu Lie actually nodded his head in a serious manner. His tone was rather solemn as he said, "The words of the head of the Wang Clan are reasonable. Although Zhuowen has won the market battle, his methods are too vicious!"
"How about this!
The rules of the market battle cannot be abolished. Since Zhuowen has won the revival battle, then the Zhuo Family will naturally be this time's champion. However, because Zhuowen's methods are too vicious, the wager between the two clans will not be counted. There should be no objections to this arrangement, right? "
Gu Lie's expression was rather calm. His face was filled with indifference.
Kacha!
Zhuo Xiangding clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. His eyes were blood-red as he stared at Gu Lie, who was on the platform. Everyone knew that his words were biased towards the Wang Clan.
The Zhuo Family did not fight to the death in the market battle for a mere title. It was clear that the Wang Clan had already lost the ten market battles to the Zhuo Family. Now, Gu Lie wanted to cancel the wager of the ten market battles with just a few words. Anyone who heard this would be extremely furious.
Standing behind Zhuo Xiangding, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and stared closely at Gu Lie's figure on the platform. He knew that Gu Lie was making things difficult for him this time because of Gu Shang.
He also did not think that the City Lord's actions would be so tyrannical. With just a few words, they wanted to strip the Zhuo Family of the market battle rights that they deserved.
Wang Yuanxing stared at the Zhuo Family with a mocking expression. Finally, his gaze focused on Zhuowen at the back. He crossed his arms and said indifferently, "Actually, it's not impossible to transfer the market battle rights to the Zhuo Family. However, the condition is that Zhuowen has to kneel down and apologize to Meng 'er and break one of his arms."
"As long as he kneels down and apologizes and breaks one of his arms, the Wang Clan will immediately hand over the market battle rights to the Zhuo Family!"
At this point, Wang Yuanxing's eyes looked meaningfully at the young figure standing behind Zhuo Xiangding.
Zhuo Xiangding glared angrily and shouted coldly, "Wang Yuanxing, you old bastard. The Wang Clan is really something. Even at this juncture, you still dare to deny it. No wonder you're the number one clan in Rattan Armor City.
Let me tell you, if you want Zhuowen to apologize, don't even think about it. Since you don't plan to give it to us, the Zhuo Family will take it by force. "
As Zhuo Xiangding spoke, a strong wave of Origin Energy exploded from his body. This wave of Origin Energy was like a vast ocean, spreading throughout the entire plaza. Many people trembled under this wave of Origin Energy and could not stand steadily.
With the eruption of Zhuo Xiangding, Zhuo Beitian and Zhuo Dingtian behind him also erupted with strong Yuan Qi. Moreover, there was a blazing Yang Qi drifting out from their bodies. This was the unique aura of a Corporeal Yang martial artist.
"Corporeal Yang Realm?
I didn't expect the Zhuo Family to have another Corporeal Yang warrior. No wonder you dare to talk about taking it by force. "Wang Yuanxing's pupils shrank as he looked at Zhuo Dingtian and sneered.
"But do you think the Zhuo Family is the only one developing?
The Wang Clan is also developing. We have more Corporeal Yang warriors than the Zhuo Family. "
As he spoke, Wang Yuanxing did not want to be outdone and exploded with an aura that was not weaker than Zhuo Xiangding's. The three people behind him also exploded with auras that were not weaker than Corporeal Yang warriors. Obviously, these three people were also Corporeal Yang warriors.
Zhuo Xiangding's face suddenly darkened. The reason why the Wang Clan was ranked first among the Three Great Clans was that they had one more Corporeal Yang warrior than the other two clans.
Originally, Zhuo Xiangding thought that the Zhuo Family had one more Corporeal Yang warrior after Zhuo Dingtian's promotion. Therefore, he took it for granted that with his current strength, he was not afraid of the Wang Clan. However, he did not expect the Wang Clan to also have a Corporeal Yang warrior. This made Zhuo Xiangding's face even more gloomy.
The Wang Clan had one more Corporeal Yang warrior than the Zhuo Family. If they fought, the Zhuo Family would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
The commotion between the two clans also attracted the attention of everyone in the square. Everyone's eyes were filled with a fiery passion as they stared at the two clans that were ready to fight. A clash between the two top factions in Rattan Armor City was a rare sight.
On the platform of the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Lie looked at the Zhuo Family with an unhappy expression and said coldly, "Your Zhuo Family is quite bold. Without the permission of the City Lord's Mansion, you actually dare to rob. It seems like you don't put the City Lord's Mansion in your eyes."
As he spoke, an aura that pressured the entire place erupted from Gu Lie's body. Two auras that were a mixture of red and white were gradually born from within his body. They transformed into a scorching sun that alternated between red and white. The powerful aura caused everyone to not dare to carelessly make a sound.
"The power of Yin and Yang fusion. He is actually a Corporeal King Realm warrior. This lord has actually advanced to the Corporeal King Realm!"
There was an uproar in the square. Everyone looked at the blue figure standing quietly on the platform in shock. It should be known that even the heads of the three big clans had not advanced to the Corporeal King Realm. At most, they were only half a step into the Corporeal King Realm.
The person in charge sent by the City Lord's Mansion was actually a Corporeal King Realm warrior that far surpassed the heads of the three big clans. This made everyone deeply feel the depth of the City Lord's Mansion's foundation.
Just as Gu Lie was about to attack the Zhuo Family, another equally powerful aura exploded on the platform. This aura was like a gentle stream of water that filled the entire square. It immediately offset the pressure that Gu Lie created.
"Brother Gu Lie, you have gone a little overboard. Zhuowen is my disciple. I hope you can give me face and let the Zhuo Family go."
