Chapter 444: You Can’t Afford to Lose, You Can Forfeit the Game
At this moment, Wu Jian sneered and said, "Instead of thinking about how to fix the rules of the competition, why don't you think about why the so-called elites of the seven major clans only get beaten when they enter the arena?"
"Since I'm not as skilled as him, I'll naturally be abused by Ling. This is true during the competition on the ring, and it's also true during the actual combat off the ring."
Wu Jian stood there with his hands behind his back, his face stern and arrogant. He looked at Jiang Cixi with disdain. "If the head of the Jiang family doesn't even have this much awareness, and when he encounters an opponent, he only thinks about tinkering with the rules and trying to solve the problem in a more gentle way, how is this different from running away? How dare someone like you call yourself the strongest in Beihan Continent?"
His words were all sarcasm towards Jiang Cixi.
Lin Yusheng frowned slightly and looked at Wu Jian. "My mother never claimed to be the strongest in Beihan Continent. Why do you say such sarcastic words? Is it because everyone knows Jiang Cixi of the Jiang family, but few know you, Wu Jian of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, so you are jealous, right?"
Lin Yusheng's words actually made Wu Jian's face look a little uglier.
He really didn't expect that a little girl could touch his heart so deeply, making him feel like he was being spied on, and the dark side of his heart was exposed.
Indeed, Beihanzhou's respect for the Jiang family has been ingrained in their bones for thousands of years. From the Jiang family's castle to the Jiang family's totems that can be seen everywhere, all of them represent that the people of Beihanzhou respect the Jiang family.
But no one knows about the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Why?
Is it because his mist sword is not powerful enough?
He could easily beat the so-called Jiang family patriarch with one hand, and that was the case before and it is the same now.
He asked Cheng Jianhua to hold this ancient martial arts competition in order to let the entire Beihan Continent know about the existence of his Wanfo Temple and know that the Wanfo Temple is the most powerful force in Beihan Continent!
The Jiang family’s glory is coming to an end.
Wu Jian glanced at Lin Yusheng with an unhappy expression, "The adults are talking, don't interrupt as a child!"
At this moment, Jiang Cixi spoke, but she didn't look at Wu Jian, but at Cheng Jianhua, "Cheng Jianhua, I still suggest that you revise the rules of the competition. It's not to avoid winning or losing, nor is it because you can't afford to lose. I just hope that the competition won't become a way to vent your anger."
She paused, then looked at Wu Jian meaningfully and said, "Besides, if we talk about winning or losing, the next loser will only be the Ten Thousand Buddhas Palace."
Hearing this, Wu Jian sneered, "Jiang Cixi, you are so arrogant!"
"No matter how hard you try, the fact that the Cui and Wei families of the Seven Great Clans have lost to us is an established fact!"
He said coldly, "No matter which of you enters the ring from now on, we in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall will show no mercy!"
Hearing this, Jiang Cixi looked at Cheng Jianhua again, "Cheng Jianhua, you heard what Wu Jian said. He's not going to give up. That means he'll still let his people abuse their opponents wantonly on the field. Even so, are you still not going to fix the rules of the game?"
Cheng Jianhua fell silent.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for his answer.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Jianhua spoke up, "There's no such thing as surrendering in the rules of the game. If you're worried that the upcoming game will be too brutal and you can't afford to lose, you can choose to withdraw before the game."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other major families looked at each other with somewhat ugly expressions.
Just now, the results of Arena No. 2 and Arena No. 3 have come out.
On Arena No. 2, the Gongsun family competed against the Murong family, and the Gongsun family won.
The Murong family, one of the top three families, was eliminated just like that. This result was also surprising.
However, Gongsun Yue had said long ago that the Murong family was no match for their Gongsun family. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yu's generation was really powerful.
The battle on Arena No. 3 was between the Xie family, one of the top three clans, and the Gong family, one of the thirty-six noble families. Naturally, the Xie family won.
Therefore, after the second round of competition, only the Jiang family, the Xie family, the Gongsun family and the Wanfo Temple remained on the field.
Now Wu Jian is here to make it known that no matter which of these three families the Wanfo Palace faces next, the Wanfo Palace will show no mercy!
However, Cheng Jianhua condoned the rampant behavior of the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas and had no intention of correcting the loopholes in the competition rules. He only suggested that they give up and withdraw from the competition if they could not afford to lose!
Everyone in the seven major clans was extremely angry!
"I never thought Cheng Jianhua was such a stubborn and inflexible person."
"Although there's no rule about admitting defeat in the fighting arena, it's rare for someone to wantonly abuse their opponent. Furthermore, fighting arenas are managed by dedicated personnel, so naturally, they won't allow such a thing to happen, unless it's a fight to the death."
"Can't you see that? In my opinion, this Ancient Martial Arts Alliance is no good either. I'm afraid they're in cahoots with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall."
"They are deliberately setting a trap for us to embarrass us!"
"This Mist Sword has such ambition, it's written all over his face."
"..."
Everyone was talking about it, but even so, it still couldn't change the fact that Cheng Jianhua was unwilling to change the rules of the game.
"Since that's the case, we won't force it anymore." Jiang Cixi spoke in a cold voice, and her eyes swept towards Cheng Jianhua like a sharp sword. "Cheng Jianhua, I don't know what benefits the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall promised you to make you seek the skin of a tiger, but the more you do this, the more I will not let your evil plan succeed."
"The Jiang family will not withdraw from the competition, and the Jiang family's members will not show mercy when they face the members of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall later!"
Jiang Cixi spoke, and Xie Lanshan also spoke, saying in a deep voice: "Our Xie family is on the same side as the Jiang family, so naturally we will not withdraw from the competition. If the Xie family faces the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall in the next match, we will repay them double for what they did to the Wei family. May the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall wish you the best!"
Gongsun Yue was naturally not afraid. He was not even afraid of the Jiang family, so how could he be afraid of a mere Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?
Gongsun Yue put his hands behind his back, looked up at Wu Jian with disdain, and said, "You bunch of bastards! We in the Gongsun family will teach you a lesson later!"
Although the seven major clans usually scheme against each other and dislike each other, when things really happen, they appear to be quite united on the surface.
Lin Yusheng immediately felt more favorable towards Gongsun Yue.
Wu Jian listened to the speeches of several family heads and laughed out loud, his eyes full of madness.
"Hahaha! You all are quite eloquent, it all depends on whether you have the ability!"
Several family heads looked at him with burning eyes, as if they wished that Wu Jian would disappear from this world immediately.
At this moment, the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance officially announced the final results of the second round of competition:
"The first round of advancement includes the Jiang family, the Xie family, the Gongsun family, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. Please wait for half an hour before participating in the final competition!"
