Martial Peak

Chapter 4816

The boisterous crowd abruptly fell silent as they looked dazedly at the two figures on the stage.

Most of them didn’t have a sharp vision, so they were unable to make out the abstrusity of the exchange of moves just now.

Only a small number of the onlookers narrowed their eyes and gazed at Yang Kai with serious expressions.

There was now a winner on the stage!

There were no restrictions when it came to the battles today. It didn’t matter whether one would like to use a weapon or fight with his bare hands as long as he could win the battle; hence, Yang Kai didn’t break the rules by using his sword.

Luo An Guo didn’t collapse, but when he touched his throat, he realised that it was wet. When he looked down, he saw that his hand was covered with blood.

It wasn’t until this moment that he felt a pain coming from his neck.

A myriad of expressions came over him. He knew that the other party didn’t intend to kill him; otherwise, he would have been beheaded instead of getting cut slightly. Despite that, this kind of outcome was still unacceptable for him.

During the exchange of moves just now, he didn’t even manage to make out how Yang Kai unsheathed his sword.

He didn’t have a chance to counterattack as the other party’s attack was too fast for him to even perceive.

The old man with a goatee seemed to have received an instruction as he quickly went on stage and announced, “The winner is Yang Kai!”

Following that, he told the two of them to leave the stage and spoke no further.

For the next half a day, more people jumped on stage to fight. Some of them were weak cultivators with only flashy moves while some of them were truly powerful.

As Yang Kai observed it, he realised that there seemed to be a selection process going on here, though he wasn’t sure what it was for.

Fortunately, the people around him were talking among themselves, so he could deduce what was going on from the chatter.

The Meng Family ran one of the largest businesses in White Jade City, so it was expected that they were extremely wealthy; however, their wealth was coveted by many people as a result. Just a few days ago, the mountain bandits from Hidden Treasure Peak demanded that the Meng Family give them 100,000 silver coins and 10 beautiful maidservants every month; otherwise, they would destroy the Meng Family.

Hidden Treasure Peak was initially occupied by a small group of mountain bandits, and they didn’t pose any real threat at all. Some time ago though, a lot of fugitives came over and joined Hidden Treasure Peak, which significantly strengthened their ranks. In order to make a name for themselves, these new members of Hidden Treasure Peak decided to target the wealthy Meng Family in the nearby city.

Although there was a City Lord in White Jade City, who had his own soldiers, the Meng Family wouldn’t dare to entirely rely on others. Hence, they decided to set up an arena on this day and offered attractive salaries to hire some powerful private guards to protect them.

As Yang Kai listened to the people around him, he soon realised the situation he was in. Supposedly, he was there to apply for a job.
