Chapter 1948: Tianze Arena?
If this were on Planet Blue, killing this Norman would be done and over with!
But this was the City of a Thousand Stars, where Bose Bodies held an exalted status!
Even a lower clan, no matter how great the crime, no one dared to touch them simply because of their Bose identity.
Not to mention that Norman was an upper clan, and moreover, the son of the Holy Star Lord!
If Norman were killed in the street, it would certainly cause an uproar, and it wouldn't be impossible for the Bose Clan to directly intervene through the Sacred Law Council.
Norman sneered: (￢৺￢✡) "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Scared to the point you don't even dare to fart?"
"I don't care what status or identity you have, none of them have a stronger backing than me!"
"A foul mouth comes at a price!"
Jiangnan's eyes flickered. When a dish was presented right to his mouth, there was no reason not to eat it.
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "You? Worthy? Apart from having a strong backing, there's nothing strong about you, right?"
"How old are you, still shouting 'daddy' all day? Haven't weaned yet? Where's Dad? I wouldn't watch it even with you in it!"
"Bring a brain when you go out. A brain is a daily necessity, but you treat it as a decoration."
"Oh, sorry! It's useless even if you bring a brain, since your brain is so clean it doesn't even have water. Saying your brain is full of water would be praising you. I've had the worst luck, running into such a moron when I go out!"
The continuous verbal barrage left everyone stunned.
Olivia's little mouth opened wide, her fur standing on end, and Yue Li even forgot to puff on her pipe.
↜(⃔っŐ口ŐC)⃕ "(*º口º)
Gasps echoed from the crowd.
Holy crap!
Jiangnan was too ruthless. He really dared to scold like that!
Even though everyone had seen the world, they had never encountered someone so tough against a Bose Body.
This ruthless Jiangnan feared no one, did he?
Ye Yuan was thrilled, pulling out his little notebook and jotting down notes frantically. Hanging out with Jiangnan, you could learn new knowledge points every day!
Norman's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead.
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Who are you calling a moron? Say that again!"
[From Norman: Resentment +1007!]
Jiangnan curled his lip: (ꐦ͡°৺͡°) "Not only a moron, but also deaf as hell!"
"I don't like scolding dogs. After all, if I can use my hands, I usually don't argue."
[From Norman: Resentment +1008!]
"Then I'll send you on your way right now!"
As he spoke, light surged from his Bose Body, and a blue sheen coated his fist.
He appeared instantly in front of Jiangnan, but Jiangnan didn't even lift his eyelids.
A spatial wormhole opened immediately, and Norman's fist punched straight into it.
It popped out from behind him, smashing into the face of the Bose subordinate he had brought.
With a "crack," Bose particles splattered everywhere, and the subordinate was sent flying.
The moment Norman's fist went in, Jiangnan closed the wormhole.
Wormhole Cut activated!
Norman's forearm was severed, and gasps rang out from the crowd.
Jiangnan immediately clapped:
(•́.̫•̀) "Your ears really don't work well! I said I'd use my hands, but you, on the other hand, you cut off your own hand?"
His arm severed, Norman's pupils contracted sharply, but it regrew instantly.
Spatial attribute?
First an angel, now an abyss clan member?
"What the hell are you?"
Jiangnan grinned: (•︠⇀•︡) "Your daddy! What, never seen a Summoner?"
As he spoke, a glazed mark flickered on the back of his hand.
[From Norman: Resentment +1008!]
Norman was now completely enraged, light surging from his body repeatedly.
"A Summoner? So what? Don't think that can counter a Bose Body. If I want to kill you, it won't even take a breath."
"Killed over a dozen Bose Bodies? You've blown that sky to bits!"
As he spoke, he pressed forward, the atmosphere thick with gunpowder.
Jiangnan twisted his neck:
(◕‾᷄～‾᷅◕) "Heh, I rarely lie. When I finally tell the truth, people always think I'm bragging."
Yue Li was shocked. If these two started fighting right in the street, it would be a huge disaster.
It wasn't that she was afraid Norman would get hurt, but that Jiangnan would suffer.
After all, no one who provoked a Bose Body had a good ending.
So she quickly ran between them, stretched out her small hand to push them apart, and put on a sweet smile.
↜(⃔っ◠ㅂ◠C)⃕ "Calm down! Calm down! Step back and the sky will clear up, right? Can't we just sit down and talk things out peacefully?"
"Both of you do me a favor. How about this—Norman, all your expenses at the Black Family today will be on my tab, Yue Li, okay?"
Norman sneered: "What, you want to protect your paramour that badly? No way! He pissed off someone he shouldn't have. I have to make him understand what toughness means!"
"You, a mere member of the Enchanting Clan, a low-class slut who lives by pleasing the ten thousand races, what right do you have to talk about favors in front of me?"
Yue Li paused, deep sadness in her eyes. As Norman said, the Enchanting Clan's reputation outside wasn't good.
Jiangnan's expression turned completely cold.
Yue Li forced a dry smile on her face:
↜(⃔っ⌒ㅂ⌒C)⃕ "Ahaha, I really don't have any favors to speak of. But considering Lord Noah's reputation, maybe..."
Norman let out a contemptuous laugh: "Noah? Whatever! Letting Jiangnan off is not impossible. You seem to be protecting him a lot, huh?"
"I've heard that the Flower Moon beauty is famous, and the Moonlight Charm Dance is a unique art. How about you give me a live demonstration?"
"If you can make me comfortable, letting him go is not out of the question."
"And besides, what future is there in following Noah? Why not follow me? Consider it?"
As he spoke, a smirk curled at the corner of his mouth as he reached out to hook Yue Li's chin.
Disgust deep in her eyes, cold sweat broke out on Yue Li's pretty face. But she didn't dare dodge. Norman's status and position weighed her down.
The Holy Star controlled the Starfall Round Hall. Compared to that, her Black Street was nothing at all.
Just as Norman's finger was about to touch Yue Li's chin—
At that moment, a glazed light burst out from beside Yue Li's cheek, faster than anyone could react.
A spatial barrier materialized into a blade, striking at warp speed straight toward Norman!
Norman's hand froze in midair because the spatial blade was already pressed against his eyeball.
If it advanced a millimeter further, it would pierce his head!
A lock of his ice-like hair was cut off, fluttering in the air.
Norman's pupils shrank!
The scene was deathly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
When had Jiangnan drawn his blade?
By the time anyone realized it, the blade was already stopping right in front of Norman's eyes!
Jiangnan held the spatial blade, his expression fierce, his eyes dark enough to swallow everything.
"Trash! Take your dirty hand off! Yue Li is not someone you can talk about just because you feel like it!"
"Her race is what it is. She makes a living by her skills—what's shameful about that?"
"Every life that struggles to survive deserves respect. You, born at the top, what right do you have to judge others?"
"The strong one has never been you—it's your ancestors!"
At that moment, Yue Li looked up dumbly at Jiangnan, feeling the sharpness of the spatial blade.
A tingling sensation shot from her tailbone straight to her crown.
She didn't want to admit it, but at that moment, her heart did flutter.
This Southern man had something no one else had.
Norman gritted his teeth: (ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "You dare draw a blade against me? You really don't want to live!"
"What, don't like me calling that low-class slut what she is? Yue Li, a mere Enchanting Clan member who reached this position—
Who knows how many men's thighs she had to climb to get up here! If she does it, why can't others say it?"
Yue Li bit her lip, hands clenched tightly:
↜(⃔ง☍﹏⁰)⃕ง "I haven't! I..."
Jiangnan said flatly: "Don't waste effort explaining to a moron. He can't understand human speech."
"Do you really think you've got me?"
Norman's eyes blazed with anger. He raised a hand, and all the Bose Body behind him went on alert. With a flick of his wrist, a Bose particle blade condensed.
"I don't just have you—I have you ground to dust and swallowed! The dignity of the Bose Clan is not to be provoked!"
Yue Li was frantic. A fight was about to break out, and Norman had so many people on his side.
Once it started, who would dare help Jiangnan?
Jiangnan would definitely suffer. Seeing no way to stop the conflict,
Yue Li made a quick decision: "Fine! If you want to fight, then settle it at the Tianze Arena!"
"This is Black Street, and the Black Mark Assembly is about to start. I'm sure Lord Noah wouldn't want to see someone causing trouble here and ruining everyone's fun!"
"Master Norman, you might not have to give me face, but don't make Lord Noah unhappy either. Otherwise, I'll report this just as it happened!"
Norman was thoroughly annoyed:
(￢益￢ꐦ) "Tch—fine! Let's settle it at the arena! I'll just see how you kill a Bose Body!"
"You dare?"
Although he didn't fear Noah's reputation, the man was still a Star-Swallowing Rank powerhouse, with an exalted status.
Any Star-Swallowing Rank was an immovable existence.
At his words, the crowd began to murmur.
"Shit—this is really getting blown out of proportion! Tianze Arena? Tsk tsk tsk—fighting a Bose Body? Jiangnan is going to get royally screwed!"
"Holy crap, this is a life-and-death duel where you bet everything! Who goes to the arena unless it's a blood feud?"
"Jiangnan is dead meat! Even if he wins, he can't kill a Bose Body, right? Unless he doesn't want to live anymore!"
It seemed entering the Tianze Arena was something rare?
Jiangnan looked confused: (•︠～•︡) "Tianze Arena? What does that mean?"
Norman sneered: "You don't even know that? Country bumpkin! Feigning ignorance! If you don't dare, say so. Don't pretend to be stupid here!"
Olivia quickly explained:
(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "The Tianze Arena takes its meaning from 'survival of the fittest, natural selection.' If two parties have an irreconcilable grudge, they can duel in the arena! Winner takes all, the loser's everything! You can also agree on stakes beforehand."
"Dueling in the arena is protected by the Sacred Law Council's laws and is considered sacred, used by the ten thousand races of the starry sky to settle racial and personal grievances!"
"All grudges end on the battlefield. After the duel, regardless of win or loss, victory or defeat, no further retaliation is allowed!"
As soon as Jiangnan heard this, he was instantly delighted.
There was such a good thing?
(●¯ิ↼¯ิ) "I dare! Why wouldn't I dare? Dueling is the romance between men!"
