Chapter 253: This Is Just the Beginning

"What did you say?" Qiao Mu looked at A Wei in shock, trying to find a hint of a joke.

The crowd under the stage also raised their heads and looked at A Wei blankly; clearly, no one expected this result.

After the initial shock, a burst of ecstasy surged in Qiao Mu's heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be worried and asked.

"This is too dangerous; if I accidentally hurt Mr. Xu, will Tang Zong fire me?"

"No."

A Wei shook his head: "Tang Zong said, just follow the rules."

However, although he said so, he also had no confidence in his heart.

How much Tang Bingyan cares about Xu Tian, he, this personal assistant, is naturally the clearest.

Last time, Qian Rushan, who went to find trouble with Xu Tian at the bar, now even his family has been removed from the list.

Arena martial arts is such a dangerous and variable activity, why did Tang Bingyan agree so easily?

Xu Tian raised his eyebrows somewhat surprised after listening to A Wei's words.

He originally thought Tang Bingyan wouldn't agree, and was thinking about what he should say to convince his wife, who always says one thing and does another, if A Wei let him go down, but he didn't expect Tang Bingyan to actually agree.

Wife is very confident in me.

Xu Tian curled his lips, and the eyes that had been carrying bone-chilling coldness since Bai Lu was injured finally revealed a hint of a smile.

"Impossible, right?"

"Tang Zong actually agreed?"

"Am I dreaming?"

The same sentence, the understanding of different people is truly completely different.

Xu Tian felt that Tang Bingyan trusted him, but the other Dark Guards under the stage felt that this was Tang Bingyan finally not wanting to tolerate this pretty boy who makes trouble all day, wanting to let him suffer a bit.

"This kind of pretty boy with no substance has no attraction at all; I reckon Tang Zong got tired of playing long ago and wants to dump him..."

"I think Tang Zong wants to settle accounts after the autumn."

"Heh, this idiot insists on pretending to be X, just wait to be slapped in the face!"

Qiao Mu didn't spend any effort to defeat Chen Xiaoxiao; cleaning up Xu Tian, wouldn't it be a one-sided abuse?

However, it was impossible for Qiao Mu to be stupid enough to really beat someone to death, but it was not difficult to make this pretty boy who didn't know what was good for him lose all face in front of everyone.

Chen Xiaoxiao, who was standing in the corner, looked at Xu Tian on the competition stage, and the happy light burst out again from her eyes that were originally like dead ashes.

Xu Tian, this scumbag, was finally going to pay for his stupidity and ignorance.

Without Tang Bingyan as a backing, he was nothing.

Just looking at Qiao Mu's eager-for-success appearance today, knowing that Xu Tian was unpopular among the Dark Guards, he must be willing to teach Xu Tian a lesson to improve his prestige in the hearts of other Dark Guards.

And now the Young Lady personally agreed that everything should proceed according to the normal arena rules, which is equivalent to fists and feet having no eyes on the stage, and life and death are irrelevant.

As long as Qiao Mu doesn't sneak attack, doesn't use firearms or hidden weapons to cheat, even if he beats Xu Tian to death, it doesn't violate the rules.

Of course, Qiao Mu wouldn't beat Xu Tian to death on the spot, but this kind of disparity in strength was enough to make Xu Tian lose all face in front of everyone and leave a shadow.

Sure enough, as Chen Xiaoxiao expected, after getting Tang Bingyan's permission, Qiao Mu relaxed completely, curling his lips slightly, looking at Xu Tian with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Mr. Xu, although it is according to the arena rules, you are an outsider after all, and I can't bully you too much; how about this, I guarantee I will only use one hand to fight you."

Facing Qiao Mu's surface concession but actual insult, Xu Tian didn't have any reaction.

Qiao Mu saw Xu Tian didn't move, so he sneered, put his left hand behind his back, waved his right fist fiercely in mid-air, and struck a magnificent appearance pose.

This idiot who doesn't know life or death really did him a big favor.

He happened not to know how to please Gu Xiansheng; if the matter of him beating Xu Tian violently on the arena today reached Gu Xiansheng's ears, he would definitely be more valued by Gu Xiansheng.

"Qiao Mu did a beautiful job!"

"Beat him hard!"

Except for the Dark Guards of the first squad, everyone else present had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Finally can let this idiot suffer a bit!"

"Isn't he just a pretty boy? No ability, yet he pretends to be a master all day long; looking at it makes me feel sick!"

"We are all Dark Guards who go through fire and water for Tang Zong; does he really treat us as slaves?"

"Commander Qiao, you must show mercy; if you really break someone, he will probably cry and run to complain!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Before the competition started, mockery arose under the stage.

These voices didn't affect Xu Tian's emotions; he also put his hands behind his back, but what was different from Qiao Mu was that he put his right hand behind his back.

In fact, most martial artists are used to using their right hands; although Qiao Mu made a gesture to say he wanted to yield to Xu Tian, in reality, putting his left hand behind his back, besides affecting balance, at least couldn't be counted as concession for Dark Guards who train all day.

But Xu Tian putting his right hand behind his back clearly told Qiao Mu: I can beat you with my left hand.

"Is this idiot's brain okay?"

Someone discovered Xu Tian's action and frowned in surprise.

"He wants to learn from Commander Qiao and only use one hand... but he is an outsider, and actually put his right hand behind his back; this is also too stupid!"

"Unless he is left-handed, otherwise I really can't understand why he wants to do this."

"I reckon he wants to imitate, but ended up messing it up!"

A Wei saw Xu Tian's action and also twitched his eyes, not knowing how to complain.

Publicly or privately, he was biased toward Xu Tian, but precisely because he was biased, he didn't want to see Xu Tian get hurt.

"Mr. Xu, Tang family Dark Guard trial rules, going on the arena is equivalent to automatically signing a life-and-death contract. Fists and feet have no eyes on the arena, life and death are irrelevant, you should be careful, don't be reckless..."

"Start." Xu Tian ignored A Wei's exhortation.

Before A Wei's exhortation was finished, Xu Tian made a gesture to him, and he had no choice but to swallow the words he wanted to say.

"Now, I announce that this competition officially begins!"

Just as his words fell, Xu Tian rushed out like an arrow from the string.

Everyone only saw a white shadow flash on the stage, and before they could see it clearly, they heard a loud "bang."

Qiao Mu, who was still in the magnificent pose, had already been hit by Xu Tian's hook punch, and his body flew out like a withered leaf, smashing heavily onto the ground.

Qiao Mu was thrown until he saw stars, his brain buzzing, and severe pain also came from his chest, 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 254 =====

"Boom!"

Following the sound of the fist striking, Qiao Mu was like a human sandbag, letting Xu Tian pummel him without any power to fight back.

Everyone offstage was stunned silly.

Even A Wei was dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

In just a few short rounds, Qiao Mu had already been beaten black and blue by Xu Tian, with more breath going out than coming in.

However, at this time, he still didn't know that this was only the beginning...
