Chapter 178: Chapter 59: Yang Family’s Mysterious Competitor
Translator: 549690339
Four days quickly went by, and the final battle with the Yang Family was still held at the central square battlefield of Gangluo City!
Due to a series of intense battles, the square battlefield had noticeably suffered damage. The central pillar had collapsed and tilted, the ground was pitted, with only the pillar standing in the middle as a symbol that the battle was still ongoing, waiting to be ignited.
Today, the square battlefield was truly crowded with people. The battle had not yet begun, but people from Gangluo City and other cities had already arrived early to wait outside the battlefield just to secure a better viewing spot for this thrilling family competition, which only took place once every five years.
The Yang Family should have easily secured the first place, but Chu Mu’s strong performance five days ago revealed the strength of the Chu Family team, which posed a real threat to the Yang Family!
A battle with a foregone conclusion is hardly interesting since the outcome is already known. It’s the unexpected evenly matched opposition that captures attention because such fights often involve many variables, and the constant swaying of the balance of power affects everyone’s hearts…
The Chu Family once again took their previous seats, but this time, their position had clearly risen a level higher, while the resentful Zhou Family reluctantly followed suit.
Returning to the high seats that originally belonged to them, Chu Family Master, Chu Ming, was in a great mood. His gaze casually fell upon Chu Mu, as all this success was credited to him!
“Chu Ming, let me tell you something.” Yang Family Master, Yang Kuo, was sitting in a high position and glanced at Chu Ming sitting next to him, with a smile on his face.
Chu Ming raised his head, looked at the seemingly triumphant Yang Family Master Yang Kuo, and said, “Are you going to tell me that you’re admitting defeat now?”
Yang Kuo sneered, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, said: “Four years ago, Chu Tiancheng stormed into my mansion to question if I had hired someone to assassinate his useless son Chu Mu…”
As soon as Chu Ming heard Yang Kuo saying this, he immediately furrowed his brows, feeling an inexplicable anger rising in his heart!
“Now, I can tell you that the person who hired the assassin to kill this trash was not me…” Yang Kuo deliberately paused and then continued with an extremely disgusting tone: “That person is my grandson Yang Luobin… See, he’s on the field now and will soon fight against your grandson Chu Mu. Four years ago, his survival was a fluke, but this time, he will undoubtedly die!”
Yang Kuo’s words and attitude immediately ignited a flame of anger in Chu
Ming’s chest. If it weren’t for a powerful expert from the Yang Clan protecting Yang Kuo in the past, the enraged Chu Tiancheng would have slaughtered this old scumbag long ago, and he wouldn’t have lived until now!
“Father, calm down.” Seeing Chu Ming’s anger on the verge of exploding, the composed Chu Tianheng immediately advised him to restrain himself.
In fact, everyone in the Chu Family knew that the person who had sent an assassin for Chu Mu must have been from the Yang Family, but they just didn’t know who it was.
In the past, the Yang Family had consistently denied this matter, but now the old man Yang Kuo openly admitted it, clearly intending to provoke conflict!
“Yang Kuo, your grandson Yang Luobin will be torn apart by Chu Mu!” Chu Ming suppressed his anger and said fiercely!
“Really? I would like to see that…” Yang Kuo looked very strange today, his expression as if the Yang Family was certain to win this battle!
In the battlefield, Chu Mu, wearing a deep purple robe, stood there proudly. His black eyes stared through the 300-meter-long battlefield at the man in white clothes!
The man in white clothes was Yang Luobin!
Yang Luobin was the strongest among the younger generation in Gangluo City. Four years ago, Chu Mu’s conflict with him reached a breaking point!
In fact, when Chu Mu returned to Gangluo City and made contact with He Lang, the Nightmare Demon Palace killer, he found out who had hired Xia Guanghan to assassinate himself.
That person was Yang Luobin!
At that time, the one who should have attacked Chu Mu was He Lang, the Nightmare Demon Palace killer who was wandering in the Luo region. However, Xia Guanghan, who was in Gangluo City, needed a host to feed the White Nightmare Demon, so he personally made a move, captured Chu Mu, and let Chu Mu form a soul contract with the White Nightmare Demon.
Perhaps Chu Mu should be grateful to the guy who hired someone to assassinate him, for without him, Chu Mu might still be just an ordinary person who obtained a common soul pet through the family.
However, to Chu Mu, the best way to express his gratitude is to kill this guy himself!
“Let Chu He take the lead!” Chu Xing said, and gave Chu Mu a suggestive look after speaking.
“Let me do it.” Chu Mu said slowly.
As soon as they entered the arena, Chu Xing and the others could clearly feel the cold air radiating from Chu Mu, which was a deep-rooted hatred condensed!
“First match, Chu Family’s Chu Mu versus Yang Family’s Yang Zhiren!”
The referee loudly announced the names of the first contestants from both families.
Clad in a deep purple outfit, Chu Mu slowly entered the beige square battlefield. At that moment, Chu Mu could hear the cheers of thousands of people echoing around him! !
His opponent, Yang Zhiren, was the weakest member of the Yang Family, whose strength was even inferior to that of Zhou Shengcheng, who had been killed by the Zhou Family.
Upon seeing that the first contestant was Yang Zhiren, Yang Family Master Yang Kuo instantly froze, his gaze falling on the youth in a black windbreaker sitting on the seat of the Yang Family con testants, revealing a puzzled expression.
“Big Brother, is it a bit…?” Yang Luobin glanced at the mysterious youth and inquired.
Originally, Yang Shang was part of the Yang Family lineup, but Yang Shang had died along with his father Yang Mantian in the chaotic forest not long ago, so this mysterious man took his place as a member of the Yang Family.
In fact, during the battle with the Qin_FAMILY, everyone had already noticed the existence of this mysterious youth in a high-collared windbreaker and began to guess which concealed young expert from the Yang Family he might be.
Despite their efforts, they still couldn’t find any information about the youth. They didn’t even know his name, because, from the start, this mysterious youth from the Yang Family had never made a move.
With Chu Mu attracting much attention, countless people began to speculate about Chu Mu’s true strength. The Yang Family also had a mysterious person; although he had never made a move, it was evident from the attitude of the Yang Family members towards him that this youth’s strength was definitely exceptional.
“I want to confirm first.” The windbreaker-wearing youth glanced at Yang Luobin and spoke indifferently.
“Confirm what?” Yang Luobin asked, puzzled.
“To confirm if he is the person I am looking for, if it’s worth my effort to make a move…” said the windbreaker-wearing youth.
“This…” Yang Luobin showed some difficulty, but he didn’t dare say anything more in front of the youth, so he followed his instructions.
“The match, begin!”
With the referee’s command, the intense flames in the center were ignited once again. The roaring fire surged, casting a scattering of scorching red light!
Realizing that Chu Mu was a bloodthirsty executioner, Yang Zhiren didn’t dare to be the slightest bit negligent. He immediately summoned his two soul pets to prevent himself from being killed by Chu Mu’s cunning tactics without realizing it.
The two soul pets of Yang Zhiren had no particularly special traits, but each member of the Yang Family possessed a Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast and a Blood Beast.
Yang Zhiren’s Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast was at the sixth rank first stage. Just by its appearance, one could tell it hadn’t undergone any higher-level beast attribute soul crystal enhancement. Chu Mu could easily deal with this commander-level soul pet just by summoning his Ice-Feathered Spirit.
As for that seventh-rank Blood Beast, it should still possess some combat power, but it was far from being in the same league as Chu Mu’s soul pets.
“Contestant, summon your soul pet,” The referee glanced at Yang Zhiren, who had summoned two soul pets, and quickly looked at the indifferent Chu Mu before speaking.
After the battle began, one could directly enter the fight. The referee was merely kindly reminding Chu Mu.
However, what surprised the referee was that this Chu Family contestant hadn’t uttered a single spell. Like a cold statue capable of moving, Chu Mu walked alone towards the two soul pets of Yang Zhiren!
“Why isn’t Big Brother summoning his soul pet?” Chu Yishui watched Chu Mu intently, a puzzled expression on her face.
Chu Xing and the others were equally baffled. Logically, facing the enemy, Chu Mu should summon at least his Ice-Feathered Spirit, Demon Tree Warrior, or the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
However, as the battle flames had already ignited, Chu Mu had not yet uttered a spell. Regardless, Chu Mu surprisingly walked towards Yang Family’s contestant, Yang Zhiren!
The clamor of discussion immediately erupted, and everyone watched Chu Mu in the deep purple outfit. They didn’t understand Chu Mu’s actions. If he continued to walk forward, he would enter the attack range of the opponent’s soul pets. A Chu Mu without a single soul pet would be directly exposed to the attacks of the opponent’s soul pets!
“It seems that he didn’t not summon a soul pet. Have you noticed the miniature Six-tailed Demon Fox that often lays on Chu Mu’s shoulder?” Chu Xing noticed this detail and spoke.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot; Chu Mu also has a fifth-rank Six-tailed Demon Fox. The fighting power of a Six-tailed Demon Fox is very close to that of a commander level pet. This Six-tailed Demon Fox must be powerful…” Chu Ning immediately nodded.
“But, even if he has already summoned a Six-tailed Demon Fox that has been attribute-enhanced, it’s a bit of a stretch to say it can deal with Yang Zhiren’s Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast and Blood Beast,” Chu Ying said.
