Chapter 603: Alice Enters the Fray

"The Peak Martial Duel has arrived." Chen Jing looked at the arena, which had already been repaired once, and said softly.

"This time for the Peak Martial Duel, I'm afraid S. H. I. E. L. D. and the Holy See are going to fight with their lives," Su Wanyue said.

In previous Hidden Dragon Assemblies, S. H. I. E. L. D. and the Holy See were at least capable of entering the top five, but this time they suffered a huge loss. Joseph was crushed by Chen Jing, and Bulu ran into Su Wanyue; as a result, before the two could even rack up many points, they were directly eliminated, which directly led to these two major powers failing to even make the top ten now.

This kind of thing was absolutely intolerable to them; after all, the final points of the Exchange Conference were related to the distribution of some important resources in the Dark World over the next few years. If they lost these resources, their development in the coming years would inevitably suffer a serious blow.

"Regarding these two factions, we should not hold back," Lingyun said to the people beside him.

He had already learned from Liuli the list of those Dark World experts who had attacked Huaxia this time, and among them, the ones who contributed the most were the Holy See and S. H. I. E. L. D. With Liuli and Esdeath there, there was no need to worry about the battle situation, and naturally, they would not let these two factions have an easy time here either.

"It has begun," Lingyun said, watching the people rushing onto the arena.

Those who could step onto the arena were clearly individuals of no small strength; it could be said that anyone without the strength of at least Golden Core Mid-stage was not qualified to step onto this arena.

Those who stepped onto the arena naturally used all their methods, and the battle situation was several times more intense than the previous Hidden Dragon Assembly. Moreover, because their strength was relatively high, it was difficult to hold back during combat, and in every Peak Martial Duel, there were always people who lost their lives on the arena.

A Holy Knight of the Holy See brandished the greatsword in his hand, unleashing waves of Sword Qi toward the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man's face was pale, clearly having suffered a great loss in the battle just now. Streaks of black light were scattered from his hands, constantly neutralizing the attacks of the Sword Qi. Every time he blocked a streak of Sword Qi, the man's face would turn a shade paler, and he would simultaneously take a step back. Although he was at a disadvantage, a strange smile hung on the middle-aged man's face, as if victory were already in his grasp.

"Get down there!" A ferocious smile appeared on the Holy Knight's face; his figure lunged, appearing beside the middle-aged man, and the greatsword in his hand slashed fiercely toward his body.

"Heh, die!" A bizarre smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he clenched his hands abruptly.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The Holy Knight's figure paused; several streams of black energy suddenly erupted from his body, piercing through his armor. Black blood trickled out along the shattered armor, the Holy Knight's body swayed, and he finally collapsed slowly to the ground.

"Joel?"

Looking at the Holy Knight who had fallen on the arena, George's expression changed drastically. With his discernment, he could naturally tell that this Holy Knight was beyond saving.

"Holy See, this is just the beginning of my revenge. That blood debt from back then, I will collect it bit by bit!" The pale-faced middle-aged man glanced at George gloomily, then jumped off the arena without hesitation.

"That person, is he from Nanyang?" George's gaze landed on the middle-aged man, his expression somewhat sullen.

He always felt that this Dark World Exchange Conference, which he was leading, seemed to be targeted by an invisible force. First, Joseph ran into a hard wall, had his seed of Angel Power crippled, which also led to the Judgment Sword being snapped, and finally, he even died. Afterward, others participating in the Hidden Dragon Assembly seemed to have been sniped and failed to get any good results. Now, it was an even worse start, with the first Holy Knight to fight being killed directly on the arena.

"Damn it, if I find out who is targeting me, I will absolutely not spare him!" George said, gritting his teeth.

"Get down there!"

A sharp cry came from the arena on the other side, and a burly man was kicked directly off the arena.

"I, did I see that right? This girl actually kicked the Muay Thai Master Basong off with one foot?"

The people under the stage looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl on the stage, their mouths hanging open involuntarily.

"That person, is that Senior Meng Juan? Big Sister, you aren't lying to me, are you?" Huo Yu, who was beside Chen Jing, asked with his mouth agape and a look of disbelief.

"Although I know it's hard for you to believe right now, this person is indeed Senior Meng Juan," Chen Jing said.

"That person is that old witch Meng Juan? This, this has to be a joke."

After learning the identity of the girl on the stage, who knows how many people's jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

"Meng Juan?" Looking at the girl on the stage, Jerry's expression was sullen. "Those people in the intelligence department are truly trash; to this day, they haven't even found out what the real relationship between this person and Long Jingtian is."

"Deputy Director, Long Jingtian's confidentiality is too well done; we still cannot investigate this woman's true identity." The person beside Jerry also looked somewhat grim.

"Investigate at any cost. Since stepping onto this island, I've always had an ominous premonition. Our operation this time is related to the future of the country; absolutely no mistakes are allowed!" Jerry said coldly.

"Yes!"

"How is the battle situation on our side?" Jerry asked.

"The situation is not very optimistic; our people seem to have run into some tricky opponents."

"What about Huaxia?"

"They, they don't seem to have been subjected to any powerful sniping, and furthermore, the people they sent out this time are all very strong," that person said with some hesitation.

"Long Jingtian, truly capable," after circling around the various arenas to take a look, Jerry said slowly with a sullen expression.

"Deputy Director, what do you mean by 'truly capable'?"

"The people Huaxia has sent onto the arena this time are all, without exception, Golden Core Late Stage. To think that Huaxia actually still hides so many experts. I don't know what kind of ability Long Jingtian has to have gathered so many people here."

"However, didn't our plan this time succeed?"

"The plan succeeded, but we cannot lose here either! After all, those resources of the Dark World are also very important things!" Wind faintly swirled around Jerry.

A Vampire carrying a blood whip lashed out fiercely at his opponent. Although his opponent had tried his best to defend, he still could not withstand the powerful force of the blood whip and was blasted straight off the arena.

"I think you won't have any more battles!"

Just as this Vampire was waiting for the next opponent to appear, a cold voice came over. Before the Vampire could react, countless Wind Blades appeared out of thin air, directly tearing his body into shreds.

"Jerry, you are provoking our Dark Council!"

Watching the Vampire being torn into shreds, the Devil Warlock could not help but let out a cold shout and was about to walk toward the direction of the arena.

"Brother, can I beat him up? He looks so annoying!" Alice, who was beside Lingyun, asked.

"You can," Lingyun narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"Alright, then I'm going!" Alice's figure flickered, and she appeared on the arena in an instant.
