Chapter 251: Heard You Wanted Me to Go on Stage
At the same time, Xu Tian, who was sitting in the spectator seat, was also holding his forehead with black lines all over his head.
During this period when he trained Bai Lu and Little Bean Sprout, he forced them to turn defense into offense, but as a result, these two formed a habit and were actually somewhat unaccustomed to taking the initiative to attack.
Very clearly, Qiao Mu also noticed this, so he didn't make a move either, just wasting time on the arena.
However, they couldn't let them stand on the arena until dark, so A Wei stood out and said:
"Qiao Mu, you are the challenger; if you don't beat Bai Lu within the specified time, it will count as a failed challenge."
The arena rules are like this every year, Qiao Mu of course knows.
According to Bai Lu's current state, if he takes the initiative to attack, he can't beat him within the specified time at all.
Qiao Mu stared at the young man standing opposite him with a calm face, narrowed his eyes suddenly, and whispered:
"Bai Lu, you asked for this."
"What did you say?"
Bai Lu didn't hear clearly, but judging from his expression, he knew it definitely wasn't anything good.
"I said you, this piece of trash, don't have the qualification to stand on this arena at all!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Lu was very surprised.
"Do you think your shameful past is unknown to anyone?"
Qiao Mu's tone was contemptuous, continuing: "If you want people not to know, you shouldn't have done it..."
"You are not an only child, you have an older sister."
He looked like he had mastered a trump card, with a smile of victory in his hands on his face.
Bai Lu's pupils shrank suddenly upon hearing this: "Shut up! Don't say it anymore!"
"Heh, do you want to forget that past very much?"
Qiao Mu's tone was mocking, continuing: "But I insist on mentioning it! I want everyone to know what kind of cowardly and despicable villain you, Bai Lu, are!"
Facing Bai Lu's pale face, his posture became even more righteous.
"Five years ago, you and your sister met thugs on the way home late; you were just a beginner apprentice at the time, not even a martial artist. Facing those thugs with knives, you actually left your sister behind and fled in a panic."
"I didn't!" Bai Lu gritted his teeth, his fists clenching and making a clicking sound.
"Dare to do it and not admit it? You are truly a coward!"
Qiao Mu continued to stimulate him: "It's a pity for your sister, she suffered persecution by thugs at a young age, and her own younger brother didn't even care about her and fled for his life."
"Enough!" Bai Lu bit his lip, blood flowing from the corner of his lip, but he was completely unaware.
"The thugs robbed your sister of her money and jewelry, and even insulted her, and finally, fearing she would call for help, they actually used their hands to strangle her to death..."
"Shut up! You shut up!" Bai Lu held his head with both hands, shaking painfully.
The meeting that made him regret for the rest of his life swept through his brain again.
Five years ago, he had just started martial arts and was just a beginner apprentice; that night, the other party had many people and also carried weapons like daggers and baseball bats.
Knowing he couldn't beat these people, he thought of seeking help nearby.
But by the time he rushed back, his sister had already been killed by those thugs.
Later, he practiced martial arts hard and constantly made himself stronger, just to avenge his sister.
When his strength improved, the first thing he did was to find out the whereabouts of those thugs, tie them up in an abandoned warehouse, whip and torture them, and finally strangle them to death with his own hands.
He wanted to let those people taste the pain his sister suffered.
After avenging his sister, he lived in regret all day and lost his life goal, so he had been wandering on the edge of the law, living a life of a walking corpse every day.
It wasn't until he was taken in by Tang Bingyan and became a bodyguard for the Tang family, and promoted to Dark Guard at the fastest speed, that he returned to a normal life.
His sister's murder was a knot in his heart; he had only weighed the pros and cons at the critical moment and wanted to find someone to save his sister, and never wanted to leave his sister behind and flee for his life.
But his sister's death was ultimately indirectly caused by him, which was a mistake he couldn't make up for in this lifetime, making him regret for the rest of his life.
"I didn't leave my sister behind... I didn't!"
Bai Lu's eyes were scarlet, roaring at Qiao Mu: "I went to find someone to save her, I didn't leave her behind!"
With his skills at the time, he couldn't beat those thugs with daggers and sticks at all, so he chose to run out to seek help.
He never expected those thugs to be so ruthless and really kill someone.
"Don't argue!"
Qiao Mu sneered: "If you really regretted it, you should have died to apologize in front of your sister's tombstone, instead of being the Tang family Dark Guard Commander in glory!"
"Everything you have today was exchanged for your sister's life; how can you be so shameless and still think about how to climb up with peace of mind and compete with me for the Commander position?"
"Shut up!" Bai Lu was stimulated by Qiao Mu to lose his mind, waving his fists at him.
At this moment, he just wanted to make this person in front of him shut up.
Qiao Mu saw Bai Lu rushing toward him, a triumphant smile curling at the corners of his lips, full of the joy of a villain succeeding.
This was the result he wanted; Bai Lu, who had fast speed and could turn defense into offense, lost his mind, so he was nothing to fear.
Just as Bai Lu's fist was about to swing over, Qiao Mu also swung a punch, hitting his chest exactly.
Bai Lu retreated two steps, just about to continue counterattacking, but was kicked in the chest by Qiao Mu, who was pressing on with the victory.
With a "bang," Bai Lu was kicked to the ground.
"Go to hell!" Qiao Mu still wouldn't let him go, and didn't give him a chance to catch his breath, giving him another round of punches and kicks.
"Bastard!"
Bai Lu was extremely angry, climbed up from the ground in a sorry state, and shouted sharply: "I'll fight you to the death!"
However, just as he got up and didn't have time to counterattack, he was smashed to the ground by Qiao Mu with a punch again.
Qiao Mu stepped on him firmly with his right foot, with a wild smile on his face.
"Like a coward like you, you have no qualification to compete with me!"
"You should go to hell!"
"I'm not a coward!"
Bai Lu's forehead veins were exposed, struggling hard: "I didn't leave her behind!"
"Don't find excuses for your weakness."
Qiao Mu put on a face of what can you do to me: "The fact is that you left your own sister behind and fled for your life, not only without any guilt for your sister's death, but also greedy for power and full of thoughts on how to climb up; you truly make me sick!"
The Dark Guards under the stage had long been stunned by this sudden change.
Bai Lu never mentioned his family affairs, and they never thought he had such an encounter.
"It's not like what you said!"
Bai Lu's head was splitting, his chest heaving violently, and such fluctuating emotions made him lose his mind, like a fierce beast, regardless of everything.
And such a life-risking fighting style looked fierce, but it was full of loopholes and vulnerable.
Xu Tian had long darkened his face, called A Wei, and asked in a deep voice.
"A Wei, can such a despicable villain also become a Tang family Dark Guard?"
"This is already considered a foul, right?"
A Wei sighed: "Although his behavior is indeed contemptible, he didn't sneak attack, nor did he use hidden weapons or firearms; if we really want to pursue it, it doesn't violate the arena rules."
Just when the two were talking, Bai Lu on the stage had been forced to the edge by Qiao Mu.
The next second, in full view of everyone, he was knocked to the ground by Qiao Mu again.
"Commander Bai, I think you'd better admit defeat obediently, it can save you some suffering."
Bai Lu climbed up from the ground unwillingly, but was beaten down again.
Qiao Mu could have ended the battle long ago, but he enjoyed the process of abusing his opponent completely.
He looked at Bai Lu's furious appearance but helpless against him, and his desire to win was infinitely satisfied.
"You are dreaming!"
Bai Lu was already covered in wounds and exhausted, but he refused to retreat, still struggling to get up.
But every time he was about to climb up, Qiao Mu would add another kick and kick him to the ground.
Finally, Qiao Mu finally enjoyed enough of Bai Lu's sorry state; he bent down slightly and snatched the token symbolizing the Tang family Dark Guard Commander from the other party's waist.
Bai Lu's eyes were about to split, immediately reached out to snatch it, and was finally grabbed by the wrist by Qiao Mu and broken downward fiercely.
"Ah ah ah..."
Bai Lu's wrist was broken by Qiao Mu, making a painful wail.
At the same time, Qiao Mu also held the token in his hand, playing with it carelessly.
"Boss!"
"Damn it, Qiao Mu is definitely doing it on purpose!"
"Bastard!"
The members of the first squad under the stage were all red-eyed, wishing they could rush up to seek justice for Bai Lu, but because of the arena rules, besides cursing, they couldn't do anything.
Looking at the Dark Guards of other squads, they didn't feel there was any problem with Qiao Mu's behavior.
Bai Lu's own strength wasn't good, even if he was really beaten disabled by Qiao Mu, he could only admit his bad luck.
"The token is in my hand, do you still dream of the Commander position?"
Qiao Mu's cold eyes carried sarcasm: "Trash is trash; even if you are helped onto the wall, you are just a puddle of mud!"
Bai Lu's emotions went out of control, coupled with the physical pain, made him completely collapse, but even if he didn't have the ability to resist, he still didn't want to admit defeat.
Qiao Mu saw this, the disdain in his eyes deepened; he curled his lips, seeming to feel that humiliating Bai Lu alone wasn't enough, so he spoke again:
"Didn't you still have confidence in yourself before the trial? Saying that training with a strong teacher improved you quickly, and you would definitely be able to defend the arena successfully."
"I thought you really had some amazing ability, but after going on stage, you are still so vulnerable!"
"It seems that the pretty boy didn't teach you anything during this period!"
"You... shut... up!"
Bai Lu was already exhausted, but hearing Qiao Mu insult Xu Tian, he still couldn't help but try his best to refute:
"Xu Tian's strength is stronger than all of you, it's my own problem that I can't beat you, but you have no qualification to mock him, because he can kill you in one round!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Qiao Mu laughed exaggeratedly upon hearing this: "A pretty boy's strength is surprisingly stronger than us Dark Guards? And can kill me in seconds?"
"You don't even draft when you brag; do you ask your pretty boy teacher if he admits it?"
"If you have the ability, let him come up and hit me!"
"Come on!"
The Dark Guards under the stage also let out a deafening burst of laughter to cooperate with Qiao Mu.
Bai Lu really had water in his brain, actually saying Xu Tian, that pretty boy's strength was stronger than them; this was too ridiculous.
"Alright, I don't want you, this coward, to waste everyone's time anymore, it's time to end this battle!"
Before the words fell, killing intent was fully revealed in Qiao Mu's eyes; he poured all his strength into his fist, wanting to give Bai Lu a fatal blow.
With this punch, even if Bai Lu didn't die, he would become disabled.
But facing a life-and-death crisis, he had long been unable to resist.
Just at this critical moment, a white figure quickly swept past everyone's eyes and came directly to the arena.
Immediately after, there was the sound of two fists colliding, and sparks flew in an instant.
"Bang..."
Qiao Mu hadn't seen clearly who came, and felt a sour numbness in his tiger's mouth, and then severe pain swept through his brain, forcing him to retreat a few steps before barely stabilizing his figure.
He raised his head in astonishment.
After seeing the young man in front of him, the smile of victory in his hands froze on his face.
Xu Tian looked at Qiao Mu expressionlessly, but his gaze was cold, as if looking at a dead object.
"Heard you wanted me to go on stage, then I will fulfill you." ===== CHAPTER 252 =====
