Chapter 941 Months
Chapter 941 Months
When Lei Sha said "play with him," his tone was very calm.
They were so calm it didn't sound like they were talking about murder; it sounded more like they were discussing what to eat for dinner.
Moro stood opposite him, but his expression was anything but relaxed.
"Sir, are you going to personally intervene?"
Lei Sha sat in the dimly lit stone chamber, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his black iron mask.
"No."
Moro paused for a moment.
Lei Sha reached out and tapped the stone table twice.
"He just arrived, just won a high-ranking deacon battle, and just killed Lacon in the training area. If I personally intervene at this time, even if I kill him, people will inevitably have some suspicions."
"Especially the Control Yuan."
"It doesn't sound good if a new senior butler is pinned down on the stage by a veteran senior butler as soon as he enters."
Moro nodded.
"What does Your Excellency mean?"
"The official competition will be held 10 months from now."
Moro's eyes narrowed.
"Official competition?"
"Um."
Lei Sha pushed the jade tablet in front of Moro.
"Open battles for high-ranking butlers, life or death are irrelevant."
"I don't need to personally confront the opponent."
"Let the butcher go."
Moro paused for a moment.
"Slaughtering bones?"
"What, you think he's not enough?"
"no."
Moro quickly replied, "Lord Bone Butcher is certainly enough. He's ruthless, making him perfect for dealing with newcomers like this."
"Your Excellency is wise! If he loses, the bone fragments will naturally be ours."
Lei Sha leaned back in his chair, his gaze behind the mask falling on the flickering flame of the oil lamp.
"This bone fragment is more than just a recorder."
"It also has my blood pact."
"That recoil just now means someone touched it, and that person knows how to handle the blood pact."
"Lin Qiye, a newcomer who has just ascended to immortality, shouldn't resort to such methods."
Moro whispered, "So you suspect he has someone backing him?"
"It's not a doubt."
Lei Sha said slowly.
"It's certain."
"Someone who just arrived in the Origin Universe is adapting at an abnormally fast pace, and his combat instincts are also abnormally strong. Now he can even activate the blood pact on the Black Origin Bone Fragment. This is no ordinary genius."
Moro felt a chill run down his spine.
Lei Sha continued, "If he really has someone backing him, it might not be worth it for me to kill him myself."
"But the competitions are different."
"In open warfare, life and death are irrelevant; the Audit and Inspection Board only looks at the results."
"If he really is someone from above, then someone will naturally protect him in the arena."
"If he weren't..."
Lei Sha's voice turned cold as he finished speaking.
"The butcher will find out his true colors for me."
……
Soon, Lin Qiye also received the notification.
The messenger was a steward in a gray robe, his face expressionless, as if he had long been accustomed to life and death.
He placed the jade pendant on Lin Qiye's table and said only one sentence.
"Deacon Lin, the seventh arena, ten months from now."
"High-Ranking Butler Open Battle"
"Opponent, Bone Slaughterer."
"Life and death are irrelevant."
"If the person receiving the order refuses, and fails to fight twice, their senior deacon status will be revoked."
The gray-robed steward added, "Deacon Lin can refuse once."
Lin Qiye looked up.
"If I refuse, who will?"
The gray-robed steward remained expressionless.
"The opponents in the tournament area will be reshuffled."
Lin Qiye smiled.
"Then I'll accept it."
He picked up the jade pendant and lightly traced a line on it with his fingertip.
A drop of blood fell onto the jade pendant.
The dark red patterns lit up.
The gray-robed steward retrieved the jade token and turned to leave.
After the door closed, the room became quiet again.
Luo Sheng sat on the edge of the stone bed, her face somewhat pale.
"Slaughtering bones".
She whispered the name.
Lin Qiye looked at her.
"Do you know him?"
Luo Sheng nodded.
"I've heard of it."
"He ranks among the top 100 senior deacons."
"Top Ten Thunder Fiends"
Neither of them are ordinary people.
Lin Qiye said, "Lei Sha didn't dare to go down in person, so he found Tu Gu."
Luo Sheng remained silent for a moment.
"Yes."
"He didn't want to get dirty, nor did he want to take too many risks."
"Tu Gu is ruthless and has a deep connection with Lei Sha. If he wins, the bone fragments will belong to Lei Sha. If he loses, he will die a worthy death."
Lin Qiye looked at the competition rules on the table.
"Open battle, life or death are irrelevant."
Luo Sheng looked up at him.
Are you scared?
Lin Qiye shook his head.
Looking at his calm demeanor, Luo Sheng suddenly didn't know what to say.
She has met many strong people.
Some people are full of heroic spirit before the battle.
Some people pretended to be calm.
Some people are terrified, but they pretend to be fearless.
But Lin Qiye is different.
It's not that he's not afraid.
Instead, they didn't show their fear on their faces at all.
Luo Sheng whispered, "Tu Gu is skilled in using the source of shock."
Lin Qiye asked, "What do you mean?"
Luo Sheng explained, "In the original universe, outsiders are unstable when they first arrive. The power of the Bone Slayer is very special. He doesn't need to kill you directly. He only needs to use his axe force to shake off the source energy that you have just adapted to. Then you will become heavy and sluggish again, just like when you first entered."
"At that time, no matter how strong your combat skills are, you won't be able to use them."
Lin Qiye nodded.
"So Lei Sha chose him to cripple me, not to kill me."
Luo Sheng paused for a moment.
"No."
"Once crippled, they will naturally die."
Lin Qiye smiled.
"That saves trouble."
Luo Sheng looked at him.
"You have ten months left..."
Lin Qiye said, "That's enough."
Luo Sheng opened her mouth.
She wanted to say that ten months wasn't enough.
But the words stuck in his throat.
Because she found that she understood this man less and less.
He was clearly a newcomer to the Origin Universe as well.
Even though the power within him was also being suppressed.
But he changes every day.
It doesn't get stronger slowly.
Instead, it's like a knife that's constantly being sharpened.
Each collision makes it a little sharper.
……
The next ten months.
Lin Qiye almost never left the training area.
During the day, he had Kefa practice shooting with him.
That evening, he asked Luo Sheng to teach him cultivation.
Occasionally, he would find a few lower-ranking gladiators with a bit more courage to spar with.
But no one dared to pull off the same tricks as Lacon.
Lacon's death, like a nail, is etched into everyone's hearts.
They finally understood.
This new senior butler is not someone to be trifled with.
He gave me the money.
But he also killed people.
……
Ten months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The open battles of the Seventh Arena have not yet begun.
But fewer and fewer people in the training area dare to approach Lin Qiye.
The dark red sand was hardened by trampling, then loosened again and again by the source energy. In the center of the arena, Kefa gripped the broken bronze sword, his face solemn.
He once founded the Galactic Empire.
He once sat on a golden throne, overlooking billions of stars.
But now, he is just a second-class gladiator in the arena of the primordial universe.
A broken sword.
Three hundred gladiatorial coins a day.
He was assigned to train Lin Qiye, a newcomer who had been there for less than a year.
Kefa felt resentful and humiliated.
But every time he thrust his sword out, Lin Qiye would deflect it back with a spear.
once.
twice.
Ten times.
One hundred times.
Thousand times.
10,000 times.
……
Millions of times.
……
100 million times...
He deeply felt the difference between himself and the other person!
