Chapter 204 - Heart Plucking Butcher vs Devil Finger Butcher (1/2)
The fanatical and bloody lobby, coupled with the bloodiness of the building’s exterior, showed that it wasn’t splendid and lavish here. However, the decorations had a different kind of elegance to it. There was a kind of unspoken comfort for the people that walked into it. The bloody murderous atmosphere from the stairs felt as if it was suppressed.
The fat shopkeeper quickly strode towards the front desk. With both arms splayed on the desk, he turned toward the pretty attendant and said, “Hi, Lisa, I’ve brought a person who would like to beat Gruesome Madness.”
Lisa, whose hair was dyed blond, glanced at Qin Fen. She didn’t pay any more attention to him. She lowered her head and opened the safe box for a number card.
Lisa had encountered such people a lot. People like Qin Fen who were young yet overconfident due to slight achievements in their lives and so came to challenge Gruesome Madness.
If one had no other specialty besides fighting and you lived in the Golden Triangle, you would only enter a place like Gruesome Madness in order to earn money. You would be discovered by the local general’s military detectives, and subsequently, be able to live a good life.
“This is your number card…” Lisa looked at the blood-stained number in her hand. Her heart jumped a bit seeing the number, “Forty-four…”
Hearing this number plate, the fat shopkeeper’s face became more joyous. He patted Qin Fen’s shoulder, “There’s an elevator over there, you should go down first. I’ll be over there soon…”
Qin Fen took the number that was stained with god knows how many people’s blood. He put the number plate that was turning yellow on his chest. Then, he went into the escalator without turning back.
Lisa stared at the changing floor number on the elevator, and rolled her eyes towards the fat shopkeeper, “How can you laugh? It is the unlucky plate number forty-four. None who had gotten that number plate seemed to be able to escape the fate of dying on the first battle. If he is defeated, you would only earn a bit of a referral fee. If he wins, however, you could earn some commission…”
“I know.” The shopkeeper lustfully looked at Lisa, with her half-exposed top that revealed a deep cleavage. He swallowed his saliva, ” Are you free tonight? How does having a meal together sound?”
“A meal?” Lisa pushed her voluptuous breasts with both her hands, “Vincent, what you want to eat isn’t dinner, it’s me, right? I’m actually quite expensive.”
“Cheh…” Vincent rolled his eyes towards Lisa, “Expensive? Forget about dinner. I have better women to eat with tonight…”
Vincent didn’t even look at Lisa after he finished talking. He moved his obese body towards the lift entrance.
Compared to the mature Lisa, he preferred the quiet woman beside Qin Fen, who had looks that were outstanding! If only he could get that frosty chick on his bed…
When Vincent thought of Lin Ling’s sexy and energetic figure, a rush of warm arousal flowed to his lower abdomen.
When Qin Fen walked into the underground second floor, he suddenly heard chaotic noises and shouts. Thousands of the seats had already been filled with people. Every one of these people waved their bills and beers. Their expressions were very excited as they stared at the only arena at the center of the floor.
There were two warriors in the fight. In this arena, any weapons, except for firearms, were allowed. If you had enough money, you could even buy an oscillating magnetic knife and nobody would stop you from bringing it into the arena.
At this time, the two in the arena were five-star meteor-level warriors. They did not choose to fight bare-fisted in the arena. For the two of them, one of them was wielding a blade, while the other was wielding two metal rods. The only thing was, these two metal rods had hundreds of half-inch metal spikes on it.
If such a weapon were to smash a person’s body…there would only be a horrific result.
At this time, both of them had blood stains on their bodies. Before Qin Fen walked out of the elevator, the two of them had already put up with half of a brutal battle.
As Qin Fen walked towards the number queue near the arena, he studied the two people in the arena.
It was apparent that it was not their first encounter in this life-or-death arena for the two middle-aged people. Whether it was the aura emanating from their bodies, or the sizzling decisiveness of their blows, they were far superior than those that only did basic training in the recruit camp every day.
Both of them were on a different level.
Qin Fen believed that if it wasn’t for the countless experiences of his life-or-death battles and training under several instructors, or if he had only trained to the power of a five-star, he would’ve died within ten moves in this arena against anyone.
Between life and death is the most well-trained person.
It wasn’t just the training of the physical body, it was also the training of willpower.
When he neared the arena, Qin Fen discovered that the first rows were actually not the audience. In fact, they were all like him, wearing a number plate on their chests.
These people had a serious expression on them. They seemed to not be affected by the roar of the surrounding environment but were calmly watching everything that happened in the arena. They needed to study these two people. Everyone knew that the person who lived this fight might end up being their next opponent.
Qin Fen arrived at the table where his number was scheduled. He took the number plate off his chest and handed it over.
The person responsible for the number plate here was a man with a messy beard. When he saw the number plate that Qin Fen handed, his eyes were suddenly shot with a bloodthirsty aura. The corner of his lips brought a hint of ridicule and said, “Kid, you’ve been having bad luck lately huh?”
Qin Fen squinted at the battle that was nearing its end, and replied casually, “It sucks.”
Messy beard man had an “I wasn’t mistaken” look on his face. He swiftly entered the number forty-four onto the computer and said, “When are you going to start? Do you want to familiarize yourself with the environment? Or…”
“Familiarize with the environment first, can you arrange me in the last round before lunch?”
Qin Fen looked at the bloody scene that appeared in the arena, his tone still plain when he answered.
Now the warrior that used the blade in the arena was dead. Fluids of his brain oozed out into the arena and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Until the last blow, he had the upper hand. However, he didn’t realize that the two seemingly solid iron bars were hollow! There turned out to be an iron chain inside! At the crucial moment, the rods that were covered with metal spikes suddenly became a nunchaku [1]. The chain locked his blade, smashing his cranium to pieces.
The winner didn’t feel happy about his victory. This victory was won with his secret ultimate move. The next opponent would definitely be prepared against this move.
When messy beard man heard Qin Fen’s request, he repeatedly shook his head and laughed, “No wonder you’re the one that drew the unlucky number. Even the requested round is the unlucky round. Look up at the big screen, your opponent is there, number fifty-four.”
“Look!!” Someone in the noisy crowd suddenly shouted, “Devil Finger Butcher! The butcher, number fifty-four; his opponent is designated.”
With this scream, the noisy crowd went quiet for a while and then boiled into a more chaotic mess.
Qin Fen took the number plate and turned around. He found that the gladiators who sat in the first row looked at him with gazes of looking at the dead. Some of them showed sympathy, however, there were more that mocked him.
Despite their gaze, deep down they all showed the same emotions.
Qin Fen understood their gaze as “rejoicing”. These gladiators felt fortunate. They were rejoicing the fact that they didn’t encounter the Devil Finger Butcher.
Logically speaking, those that were able to participate in Gruesome Madness were supposed to be a group of people who had long since not taken life and death seriously. These people, who supposedly didn’t take life and death seriously, were actually afraid of the Devil Finger Butcher.
There was no need for any explanation of words, nor a search for any information. Judging from the reaction of the audience and the expression of the gladiators, it was clear that this Devil Finger Butcher who was on the second floor underneath the arena was very powerful.
When Vincent saw the person he brought being matched up against the Devil Finger Butcher, his face was filled with joy. The number plate forty-four was really a curse. His first time entering and he was already matched up against the Devil Finger Butcher…if this wasn’t the unlucky cursed number, what was it?
In this level of the arena, if there was a question of who the strongest gladiator was, many would give different answers.
Some would say it would be Chen Feiyu’s Seven Breaks Seven Prohibitions Sad Fists. Those that were struck were doomed to die. While dying, they had a distorted face, as if they were smiling. However, this smile was more tragic, uglier, and sadder than crying.
It was rumored that the conditions for practicing this set of exercises were very harsh. Seven prohibitions were to be followed and that was, heart, love, enmity, desire, bitterness, life and death, and missing.
Seven breaks were of the opponent’s end. They were the break of heartbeat, blood pulse, tendon, liver and intestines, kidneys, bones, and wrists.
Some people would also say that it was Bian Lice’s Bone Bruising and Rotting Fists. Victims died as usual. But upon autopsy, it was found that no matter the blood, organs or bone, all was turned greenish-black.
Of course, some people would choose the Devil Finger Butcher.
But if it were to be determined in this level’s arena who the most violent, mad, crazy one was it would definitely be the Devil Finger Butcher. It was undeniable for everyone.
“Hello, I’m your first opponent in Gruesome Madness.”
Qin Fen heard the voice and slowly looked up at the person standing in front of him.
