Chapter 552: The Opening Battle
Night's Whisper.
Despite the extreme low profile this organization maintains, making them almost invisible on the surface,
in reality, the things this organization does are nearly as vile as the Demon Arrival Organization.
This organization is also the world's largest human trafficking ring.
They've destroyed countless families and harmed countless children.
They're also willing to carry out unspeakable dirty deeds for the nobles of various empires.
Anyone familiar with this organization would surely hold nothing but disdain for it.
Previously, an entire eastern tribal group from a certain empire was annihilated in a single night, a massacre orchestrated jointly by them and the Demon Arrival Organization.
But because they operate with such secrecy, rarely making a public appearance, many people have little impression of them.
Some have never even heard of them.
At this moment,
after hearing what Tarina said, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill!
If it had been only Jin Yuchun, that mad Daoist, talking nonsense, they wouldn't have taken Ling Zhan seriously.
But to hear the same warning from Tarina, a fourth-tier Holy Moon Goddess, made things undeniably serious!
These were two fourth-tier powerhouses both pointing out that Ling Zhan would become a major threat in the future!
"Alright, I'm starting to agree with your plan."
"If the result of the Deathmatch Tournament isn't in our favor, I think we should risk taking action!"
"We must kill Ling Zhan by any means!"
"At that point, we'll deploy all available fourth-tier forces to restrain the opposing generals, and send at least one fourth-tier powerhouse to assassinate Ling Zhan!"
"I can't believe a fourth-tier powerhouse can't handle him!"
At this moment,
even Shadow Sovereign Dos from the Blood Hammer Guild nodded, agreeing with the proposal from the Demon Arrival Organization.
"What about this Underworld God Island?"
"If we really do that, it'll be hard for us to step onto this island again in the future."
Avid, the hawk-headed War God, asked softly.
"Doesn't matter."
"As long as we eliminate the major threat that is Ling Zhan, any price is worth it!"
"Sooner or later, this so-called Underworld God Island will fall into the hands of our Demon Arrival Organization anyway!"
Jin Yuchun chuckled.
Andrea, standing nearby, remained silent.
Honestly...
watching these fourth-tier powerhouses discuss so confidently, for some reason, she couldn't shake a feeling of dread.
Maybe she was just overthinking.
"Alright, the opening ceremony is starting. Let's first enjoy this feast of a competition organized by our respective groups!"
"I hope the talents we've cultivated won't disappoint us!"
"Let's have them slaughter all the prodigies of the national armies, shaking the entire world with our might!"
Deputy Pope Karakto of the Dark Holy Church waved his hand boldly.
Everyone finally directed their attention to the arena.
Whoosh!!
The venue was buzzing with excitement!
The commentator, brought in for the event, passionately delivered the opening speech.
But everyone's eyes were almost entirely fixed on the position of the Dragon Nation's participants!
Even from across the arena, the two young men and women from the Demon Arrival Organization watched Ling Zhan with amused smiles.
It was as if they were eyeing a juicy piece of meat.
The participants from the Dark Holy Church, Blood Hammer Guild, Night's Whisper, and Demon Advocate
were similarly thrilled.
Each of them looked fanatically at the participants from the national armies across from them!
"Ugh! Those guys from the evil organizations are truly disgusting! They all look so strange!"
"Yeah! Just looking at them is nauseating!"
"Seriously, that so-called Demon General from the Demon Arrival Organization—if he'd implanted a mechanical arm or a beast arm, that'd make sense, but he put a crab claw on his arm. Isn't that gross?"
"That's nothing! Look at the one from Night's Whisper—he stitched other people's eyes and mouths onto his body! What kind of freak is he?"
"Shhh! Keep it down! Do you want to die? Don't forget who they are!"
The chatter immediately died down after this reminder.
Right!
They almost forgot!
These people are ruthless killers, bandits who commit all manner of evil!
In the heat of the moment, they'd almost forgotten these criminals' identities.
It's only on this Underworld God Island that they could show themselves so openly.
In any other place, a bloody battle would already be underway!
And what stifled the audience's remarks even more was...
these villains were grinning viciously at the podium, their eyes brimming with barely restrained killing intent!
Ah!
With so many lives right before them, it was like wolves unleashed among sheep, ready to slaughter at any moment!
Ideally, they'd tear everyone apart and hang the bodies all around the arena, turning it into a 'meat factory'!
The more they thought about it, the more crazed their expressions became.
Their inner savagery seemed almost uncontrollable!
"What a bunch of repulsive scum!"
Li Changshan couldn't help but curse as he watched.
"Once you're on the field, be cautious and show no mercy!"
"Make sure to tear them to pieces!"
He turned to his team with a reminder.
"Captain, do you even need to say that? These bastards are worse than the monsters in Forbidden lands!"
Zhou Chuang responded.
"Yeah, we'll definitely blow them to bits!"
Mu Yuxuan chimed in.
"Alright! No more delay; let's proceed with the draw!"
"The match format this time is a direct head-to-head showdown!"
"No ranking rounds!"
"It's a matter of survival once you're up against each other!"
"The side that survives moves on to the next round!"
"No restrictions on tactics, equipment, or consumables!"
"As long as you win, anything goes!"
"Let's all enjoy this feast of carnage!"
The commentator's enthusiastic words echoed through the arena.
The audience's emotions were ignited, erupting in wild cheers!
Although the event was globally broadcast, it was banned from being shown to junior and high school students.
"Alright, the matchup for the opening battle is ready!"
"The Seventh Demon General of the Demon Arrival Organization will face Tox of the Free Federation!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
"Boo!!"
the audience erupted into boos!
"Why isn't it Ling Zhan!?"
"Exactly! We want to see Ling Zhan's match!"
"Damn! Every other time he's gone first, but not this time!"
"..."
