Who else could it be if not Lotte?
When Su Chen heard the scream, he immediately looked for the source. He saw a group of people surrounding the field. When he saw Lotte lying on the ground, he seemed like he could not stand up.
The man standing in front of Lotte was a short man. He had a hunched body. Su Chen tried to recall from his memory that he seemed to be the person standing in front of him earlier in the ninth place.
“Little fatty, if you don’t admit defeat, you’ll be beaten to death by me.”
The hunched man proudly twirled the kitchen knife in his hand, but Lotte remained silent.
Su Chen’s heart was already in his throat. If something happened, he was prepared to rush over.
However, Lotte slowly tried to stand up again. At this time, although he was swaying, his expression was relaxed.
“If you can even beat me to death…”
Su Chen never expected that Lotte could actually say such provocative words. Could it be that he really wanted to live?
As expected, after hearing these words, the hunchbacked man’s face became ferocious as he said fiercely, “Damn, fatty, I want your life now. You actually look down on me?”
Then, he quickly charged at Lotte. Lotte had no intention of dodging this time. The kitchen knife was about to slash Lotte’s left arm. Su Chen had already tightened his grip on the Broken Steel Sword, ready to save Lotte at any time.
However, at the critical moment, the man suddenly stopped and took a step back to put some distance between him and Lotte.
“Damn, fatty! You actually stabbed me with a needle?!”
A needle? Su Chen did not even realize that Lotte had pulled out a needle? When?
Lotte, who was on the stage, only smiled.
“I told you, if you can kill me, the needle I stabbed you with is stained with the sap of the scissor tree. Moreover, the part I stabbed into is filled with the arteries and blood vessels of your body. As long as you continue to exercise vigorously and accelerate your blood circulation, the sap of the scissor tree will follow your blood and spread throughout your body. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at your arm. Has it started to turn green?”
The man lowered his head and looked at his own arm. As Lotte had said, his skin was already turning green.
“You damn fatty! Quickly detoxify me! If you don’t detoxify me, I’ll cut you into pieces right now!”
Lotte obviously did not care about what he said. The man was even more anxious, but he did not dare to come any closer. Just like that, the man’s arm began to fester. This made his eyes turn red, and the pain made him go crazy. He suddenly threw the kitchen knife in his hand. Lotte barely dodged it, but the kitchen knife still cut his face.
Before Lotte could stand properly, another kitchen knife flew toward him. This time, the knife stabbed into his abdomen and Lotte spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lotte kneeled on the ground with his hand on his abdomen, the blood coming out from his mouth could not be stopped. This time, the man walked over with a crazy expression. He picked up the kitchen knife that had been thrown to the side earlier. This time, the kitchen knife was aimed at Lotte’s head.
However, the knife did not move. It stopped mid-air. Looking again, there was another needle stuck in the man’s neck. His neck began to bruise and his arm was already rotten.
The man seemed to be in pain as he fell to the ground because of the poison in his body.
At that moment, the broadcast rang.
“Congratulations, everyone. Now, let’s announce the new rankings.”
After the announcement, the results were announced. Yousi was seventh, Su Chen was tenth, and Lotte successfully squeezed into ninth place because of his last move.
After the announcement, the top 10 people stood on the stage again. Lotte was lying on the side because he was seriously injured.
As the sky was already very dark, only the faint lights on the stage shone on the faces of the 10 people. In an instant, the darkness seemed to devour everyone.
In the last few minutes, no one knew what was going to happen until the announcement said, “Please, return to your rooms to rest and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule.”
Only then did Su Chen and the others finally leave the arena. Walking outside, they found that their surroundings were quiet. When they returned to their rooms, they no longer saw anyone else other than themselves.
“What’s going on?”
Yousi felt that something was wrong. He began to walk out of the room to knock on the doors of other rooms. As he knocked, no one responded to him.
Su Chen was bandaging Lotte’s wounds in the room. Lotte said in a weak voice, “Could it be that the concentration camp really did as they said and disposed of the others?”
At this moment, Yousi ran back in a hurry.
“Su Chen, look, quickly.”
Yousi’s expression made Su Chen feel that this matter was not that simple. He followed him to the window of the corridor.
A cloud of thick black smoke came out. Looking down, it was a mountain made of corpses. An excavator next to it threw people into the fire, bit by bit. The black smoke drifted into the air with a strong smell of corruption.
Su Chen was shocked by the scene in front of him. At this moment, he realized that when one was being butchered, one’s life was like garbage.
After returning to the room, they told Lotte what they had seen. Lotte was also shocked.
Later, although the three of them were heavy-hearted, they quickly accepted the matter.
Lotte suddenly thanked Yousi. Su Chen was surprised by this action. Then, Yousi explained that they had their special training since Yousi had studied medicine and knew the various acupoints of the human body clearly. In addition, he found that although Lotte’s movements were slower than theirs because of his size, he was still very careful.
So, Yousi gave him a needle and they spent the whole day trying to figure out how to insert the needle into the acupoints of the human body correctly. If he was not clear about it, he would be doomed.
The result was really successful, but the next day was not going to be that easy.
Lotte laid on his bed and was just about to rest when the damn broadcast rang again. “Sorry to disturb everyone’s rest. Let me introduce the schedule for tomorrow’s match. Tomorrow’s match will decide the top five among the top ten. You may appoint your respective opponents. However, there’s been a special situation. Contestant Musashi Jiang has appointed an opponent. He’s informed everyone in advance that Musashi Jiang’s opponent tomorrow will be Su Chen who’s currently ranked in tenth place. That’s all for the notification. Everyone, please, work hard tomorrow!
‘Why did Musashi Jiang pick me?!’
Su Chen’s head was full of question marks as he stood rooted to the ground. Yousi and Lotte encouraged him frantically, telling him not to be afraid. Lotte even gave him all the information he knew about Musashi Jiang.
Musashi Jiang was a person who had learned Japanese martial arts since he was young. His katana was especially powerful. His katana technique had always been famous for its speed, fierceness, and accuracy. He even took a person’s life in just three steps. In his previous duels, he always ended the battle very quickly and was not one to drag things out.
He was very strong….
