The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 322: The Duel Between a Genius and a Butcher!

Upon arriving at the waiting area, Manager Sun quickly dispatched someone to deliver the matchup information to them.

Ling Feng and Xue Xiaolin, who had formed a temporary team, were set to face two death row convicts who had already secured three consecutive victories. These convicts were known as Blood Wolf and Shadow Poison.

A three-win streak meant they had already killed six martial artists who, like Ling Feng and Xue Xiaolin, had come to challenge them.

Based on the information, these two opponents were in their thirties and were at the fifth or sixth level of the Transformation Realm.

(Note: A genius who has opened fifty meridian gates possesses strength equivalent to the sixth level of the Transformation Realm. Typically, most martial artists do not have the opportunity to open so many meridian gates, so in the Blood Arena, the Pulse Formation Realm and the Transformation Realm are not strictly differentiated. As for the Spiritual Element Realm, experts of that caliber would never appear in such a venue.)

The opponents for the other team members had also been determined, all roughly at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm.

However, in this blood-soaked arena, strength wasn't everything.

In the Blood Arena, there was only killing!

Survival meant victory!

This was a place of killing that had no mercy and no rules. Once on the stage, one had to face all kinds of vicious and sinister tactics from the opponents.

Those death row convicts, hardened criminals, were desperate individuals who lived on the edge. Though their cultivation levels might not be high, their killing skills were top-notch!

The waiting time wasn’t long.

The Blood Arena was divided into nine fighting areas, meaning nine matches were conducted simultaneously. One batch of contestants entered after another, quickly getting injured or killed.

The entire Blood Arena resembled a giant meat grinder!

From the waiting area, one could clearly see the fights within the Blood Arena. On the platform where Ling Feng was about to compete, two martial artists were fiercely battling two demonic beasts. Blood was spraying everywhere, thrilling the frenzied audience.

Finally, the two human martial artists emerged victorious. They extracted the demonic cores and other valuable materials from the beasts.

These were their spoils, permitted by the rules of the Blood Arena.

"Ladies and gentlemen, up next is a clash of titans! Two young geniuses from Tianwei Academy will face off against the brutal killers, Blood Wolf and Shadow Poison, who have already secured three consecutive victories!"

The referee shouted, igniting the crowd's excitement with a single sentence.

A duel between geniuses and butchers!

This was going to be a spectacular fight!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Hahaha, those academy rookies dare to challenge the Blood Arena? They’ll die miserably!"

"The Blood Shadow duo will definitely win their fourth consecutive victory! Let’s dye this Blood Arena red with the blood of these so-called geniuses!"

Shouts and roars echoed madly throughout the Blood Arena.

The crowd overwhelmingly doubted the so-called geniuses from Tianwei Academy. After all, the Blood Arena had its own survival rules, and these sheltered flowers were seen as nothing more than rookies.

"This match promises to be worth every bit of your ticket price! The match will begin in half a quarter-hour, so place your bets now!"

"Xiaolin, it looks like we’re up first," Ling Feng said, turning to Xue Xiaolin and noticing her face was slightly pale.

She was, after all, a woman and seemed unaccustomed to the bloody and murderous atmosphere.

"Remember, Xiaolin is primarily skilled in support, so look out for her during the fight," Gu Tengfeng said seriously.

"Don't worry, Captain, I will," Ling Feng replied with a faint smile. Despite his tough exterior, it was clear that their big-hearted captain harbored some feelings for Xiaolin.

"Who... who needs looking after?"

Xiaolin blushed slightly at Gu Tengfeng's words, casting him a resentful glance.

The half quarter-hour passed quickly.

The challengers entered the Blood Arena through the challenge passage, while the two death row convicts rushed out from behind an iron gate, howling as they emerged.

The two convicts ripped off their shirts and sneered, saying, "Are these two more appetizers?"

"Heh heh heh... I’m going to tear out their hearts and eat them!"

Blood Wolf and Shadow Poison's eyes glowed with bloodlust as they entered the arena. The crowd roared in excitement, anticipating the scene of these young geniuses being torn apart.

Slaughtering geniuses was far more entertaining than slaughtering ordinary people.

This was especially true since Ling Feng and Xue Xiaolin were students of Tianwei Academy!

"There are no rules. The fight ends when someone gives up or dies! Let's begin!"

The host's voice faded, drowned out by the thunderous cheers of the arena packed with tens of thousands of spectators.

Both sides converged at the center of the Blood Arena, each sizing up the other, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Ling Feng stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Xue Xiaolin. "Xiaolin, just focus on using your Revitalizing Wind to restore my true qi when needed. I'll handle the rest."

Xue Xiaolin nodded. As a support-oriented swordsman, her combat skills were limited, but her speed was decent enough to prevent instant defeat in close combat situations.

Blood Wolf and Shadow Poison remained stationary, observing Ling Feng and Xue Xiaolin. Every now and then, they grinned, their tongues slithering out to wet their lips, as if relishing the scent of fresh blood.

"Oh, we've got a little lady too!"

Blood Wolf's eyes gleamed red as his keen senses caught the subtle fragrance of femininity emanating from Xue Xiaolin.

"A girl?" Shadow Poison's voice dripped with anticipation, punctuated by a beastly and sharp laugh. "Do young ones these days all seek death in such thrilling ways? I can't understand them, not at all!"

"Hahaha..." Blood Wolf's body exuded a swirling aura of blood energy. "Understanding isn't important. What matters is, the girl's heart will be even tastier, hehehe..."

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The audience in the stands grew restless, their impatient roars filling the arena.

Whoosh!

Finally, Blood Wolf sprang into action.

Like a streak of crimson light, he lunged directly towards Xue Xiaolin behind Ling Feng.

"Don't even think about passing by me!"

Ling Feng's eyes gleamed with resolve as he executed the Boundless Sword Steps.

Boom!

A thunderous clash echoed as Ling Feng and Blood Wolf collided, both staggering back. Blood Wolf's expression turned serious.

"You’re quite fast to be able to attack behind you. Kid, it seems like I underestimated you!"

Blood Wolf turned to Poison Shadow, his voice chilly. "Shadow, looks like you can't slack off."

"Perfect, I'll use this kid as a warm-up."

In the next moment, Poison Shadow's figure swayed, swiftly closing in on Ling Feng with an extremely bizarre movement art.
