Chapter 143: Life and Death Arena

You want to fight!

Then I will fight!

As soon as Facing Facing Cang Luo spoke these words, the new and old members of the War Wolf Gang instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

No need to be a scapegoat anymore!

Wang Fuhai looked at him with a bitter expression, wanting to speak but holding back.

Xiang Xiang Yunjiao was so anxious she was about to cry; she did not want Facing Facing Cang Luo to duel the opponent, fearing he would be killed.

Yin Mengruo shook her head helplessly; she knew Facing Facing Cang Luo had fallen into a deadly trap, and this time it was dangerous for the War Wolf Gang...

Zhao Renwu was overjoyed in his heart; everything happening now was within his plan.

Chen Yun and Chen Dahu were summoned by him; this fight was provoked by him, and regardless of the outcome, it was Zhao Renwu who would profit.

If Facing Facing Cang Luo is defeated, he will very likely be killed on the spot, and then Zhao Renwu will completely seize control of the War Wolf Gang.

Even if he does not die, he will have no face to continue as the gang leader and can only step down; with Zhao Renwu's current prestige, he is one hundred percent certain to become the gang leader.

If Facing Facing Cang Luo happens to win by chance, then he must prepare to bear the wrath of Ouyang Lie and the Lie Tian Gang, and in the end, he will still die!

Zhao Renwu's scheme clicked loudly in his mind, and he had already begun considering matters after becoming the gang leader.

He decided to persuade everyone, mainly Cang Feng, the hall master of the Council Hall, to give fifty percent, with a bottom line of seventy percent, of the War Wolf Barbecue Shop's profits to Ouyang Lie, thereby exchanging for the protection of Ouyang Lie and the Lie Tian Gang, turning the War Wolf Gang into a subordinate gang of the Lie Tian Gang.

In this way, he would also be someone with a powerful backing.

As the saying goes, it is good to rest in the shade of a big tree; with the protection of a top ten outer sect disciple and the strongest gang, his actions would be much more convenient, his circle and connections would expand, acquiring cultivation resources would be easier, and his martial arts path would be smoother...

Although Facing Facing Cang Luo did not know Zhao Renwu's intentions, he also knew that after this battle, he would inevitably face Ouyang Lie and face the Lie Tian Gang!

The consequences would be extremely severe!

However, Facing Facing Cang Luo could not worry about too much right now; first, he would defeat Chen Yun to establish his authority, then instantly kill the opponent with absolute strength, suppress Zhao Renwu, and regain full control of the War Wolf Gang.

Matters after that would be dealt with later; there would always be a solution.

At worst, he would disband the War Wolf Gang, hide himself in the Beast Mountain Range to cultivate bitterly, and return to settle the score only after advancing to the Martial Artist stage!

Having made the worst preparations, Facing Facing Cang Luo stared directly at Chen Yun, his fighting spirit intense!

"You want to fight, so I fight? How imposing!" Chen Yun sneered, then said coldly, "Then let us meet at the Life and Death Arena! Come, let us return to the sect."

The Life and Death Arena, as the name suggests, is an arena for deciding life and death; it is the place where sect disciples resolve conflicts and disputes, and killing an opponent on the Life and Death Arena will not result in punishment from the sect.

Of course, the premise is that both parties voluntarily step onto the arena, and there must be an official witness.

The Life and Death Arena of the outer sect is right in the center of the martial arts training ground; Chen Yun led the Lie Tian Gang members to leave first, and Chen Dahu, walking last, turned back to glare fiercely at Facing Facing Cang Luo and made a gesture of cutting his own throat, the meaning of which was obvious.

You are doomed!

"Senior Brother Luo..."

"Gang Leader..."

As soon as the Lie Tian Gang members left, Xiang Xiang Yunjiao immediately came to Facing Facing Cang Luo's side, looking at him with a worried expression.

Wang Fuhai did the same; he sighed and said, "Do you have any confidence?"

Zhao Renwu also said with 'concern', "Gang Leader, if you cannot match him... then surrender; the official supervising the fight here will not stand by and watch someone die."

After Zhao Renwu spoke, many veterans also followed in worrying about Facing Facing Cang Luo; although they were Zhao Renwu's people, they did not hope for Facing Facing Cang Luo to lose, nor did they hope for him to be killed.

After all, Facing Facing Cang Luo had taught them military boxing, and during their training in the Beast Mountain Range, he had also guided their cultivation; in just half a month, almost everyone had improved their cultivation by one stage, so they still remembered Facing Facing Cang Luo's kindness.

As for the new members, they wore indifferent expressions because they had not received any favors from Facing Facing Cang Luo, had never even seen his face before, and whether Facing Facing Cang Luo lived or died had nothing to do with them, though it would be best if he were killed.

Once Facing Facing Cang Luo died, Zhao Renwu would definitely ascend to become the gang leader; as Zhao Renwu's direct subordinates and confidants, they would inevitably rise with the tide, obtaining higher positions and more resources...

Facing Facing Cang Luo scanned the crowd, memorizing their expressions and faces, secretly distinguishing between close and distant relations, and smiled, "Why do you all think I will definitely lose?"

No one answered Facing Facing Cang Luo's question, but their answers were all written on their faces.

Yes, you are definitely going to lose.

Even Wang Fuhai thought Facing Facing Cang Luo would lose; he was Facing Facing Cang Luo's investor, having bet everything on Facing Facing Cang Luo, providing the War Wolf Gang's startup capital and the gang's base, so he was the person who most wanted Facing Facing Cang Luo to win.

Unfortunately, the opponent's strength was too great; Facing Facing Cang Luo had absolutely no chance of winning.

Chen Yun has a cultivation of Martial General Stage 2, and since he could become the deputy hall master of the Black Turtle Hall of the Lie Tian Gang, his actual combat power is estimated to be at the level of Martial General Stage 5 or 6.

And Facing Facing Cang Luo is only at Warrior Stage 9... wait, Warrior Stage 9 was his cultivation more than half a month ago; what is it now?

Wang Fuhai suddenly realized that since Facing Facing Cang Luo returned, he had not spoken more than a few words with him; the issue of Zhao Renwu seizing power had not been resolved, and suddenly the Lie Tian Gang appeared, creating internal troubles and external threats, leaving him overwhelmed.

He had even forgotten to ask about the progress of the fashion project, nor had he asked where Facing Facing Cang Luo had been during this time or how his cultivation had progressed.

Hearing from Cang Feng and others, Facing Facing Cang Luo's cultivation speed was very fast; it took only half a month to advance from Warrior Stage 3 to Warrior Stage 6.

Then, the War Wolf Gang was established, and it took one month to advance from Warrior Stage 6 to Warrior Stage 9...

This speed was extremely fast, comparable to Zhao Renwu's progress during this period.

So, now that more than half a month has passed, he should have broken through to the Martial General stage, right?

Perhaps, judging by his previous speed, he could even reach Martial General Stage 2.

If he reached Martial General Stage 2, combined with his combat power far exceeding his cultivation, even if Chen Yun possessed the combat power of Martial General Stage 6, there would still be a chance to win.

After thinking of these things, Wang Fuhai immediately asked anxiously, "Gang Leader, what is your cultivation level now?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo looked speechless; you finally remembered this?

This gang leader rushed back without stopping his horse... no, without stopping his carriage wheels, just to enjoy the shocked expressions on your faces after learning of this gang leader's cultivation.

But first, Zhao Renwu showed off, stealing all the spotlight, and no one paid attention to this gang leader.

Then, the Lie Tian Gang appeared, and Chen Yun wanted to take revenge for Chen Dahu, causing everyone to be in a state of panic, thinking this gang leader was about to die and the War Wolf Gang was about to be disbanded...

"Sigh!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo sighed, having lost the mood to show off, and said weakly, "Martial General Stage 4..."

"Martial General?!"

"Stage 4?!"

At these words, everyone froze, exchanging glances—some thought they'd misheard, others believed Facing Facing Cang Luo had made a mistake.

Zhao Renwu's eyes widened instantly; he stared at Facing Facing Cang Luo in disbelief, his right hand gripping the steel folding fan drenched in sweat.

He was certain he hadn't misheard—Facing Facing Cang Luo had clearly said the four characters: "Warrior General Stage 4!"

Could Facing Facing Cang Luo really be at Warrior General Stage 4?

How could that be!?

Lying? No need.

But how much time had passed?

Less than a month, and he'd broken from Warrior Stage 9 to Warrior General Stage 4?

What kind of cultivation speed is this?

He'd thought his own leap from Warrior Stage 7 to Warrior Stage 9 in barely half a month was already astonishing.

Yet Facing Facing Cang Luo was even faster!

Zhao Renwu was utterly stunned, but soon regained his composure.

So what if he's at Warrior General Stage 4?

So what if he's using a technique to temporarily boost his strength?

Even if you can defeat Chen Yun and escape this ordeal, can you defeat Ouyang Lie, who's at the peak of Warrior General Stage 9?

Ouyang Lie isn't just strong himself—he commands hundreds of followers, dozens of whom are Warrior General disciples.

Can you, Facing Facing Cang Luo, stand alone against the Lie Tian Gang?

What awaits you is death!

And I, according to plan, will replace you as leader of the War Wolf Gang—everything in the War Wolf Gang will be mine!

Then, I'll forge an alliance with Ouyang Lie...

Thinking his plan would surely succeed, Zhao Renwu couldn't help but smile—but no one saw it; everyone was staring at Facing Facing Cang Luo.

Wang Fuhai stared blankly: "Warrior General Stage 4? Boss, you're not joking, are you? So fast!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo, watching the Lie Tian Gang members depart, said casually: "Do I have any reason to joke?"

Seeing Facing Facing Cang Luo wasn't joking—and realizing there was no reason to—Wang Fuhai believed him at once, excitedly asking: "So you can defeat Chen Yun?"

"Naturally!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo spoke with confidence, lightly, ignoring the stunned expressions around him, calmly saying: "Let's go—don't keep them waiting... Oh, bring all the gang's funds."

Wang Fuhai frowned: "Bring all the gang's funds? What for?"

As Facing Facing Cang Luo walked toward the rune-chariot, he smiled: "Doesn't the Xuan Tianmen have a custom? When two duel, someone always takes bets on the outcome."

"So you mean... we bet everything on you winning..."

Wang Fuhai was still excitedly speaking when he noticed Facing Facing Cang Luo seemed about to tamper with someone else's mechanism vehicle—he quickly stopped him: "Boss, this is a guest's mechanism vehicle parked outside our shop—don't touch it! If you break it, we can't afford to pay!"

As far as he knew, the Mo Family Mechanism City rarely sold mechanism vehicles outside; they were nearly nonexistent in the outside world—owning one was proof of status and power.

If we broke it, the War Wolf Gang couldn't afford to pay, nor could we afford to anger whoever owned such a vehicle.

Facing Facing Cang Luo stepped onto the chariot and laughed: "This is my personal vehicle—pay what?"

At these words, everyone was stunned again.

This mechanism vehicle was the boss's? Where had the boss been all this time? What had he done?

Not only had his cultivation skyrocketed—he'd acquired a mechanism vehicle?

Some kind of miraculous encounter?
