Chapter 731
The Imp knew he had lost the trial; he ultimately chose trial by combat!
He first thought of Jaime, as he was his brother, and Tywin wouldn't want his own son to die.
But Joffrey was Jaime's biological son, so Jaime naturally refused.
The Imp thought of Bronn, but was refused again.
Cersei had bribed Bronn, pairing him with a noblewoman; besides, Bronn also knew he was no match for the Mountain.
The Imp cursed loudly; Cersei was trying to drive him to his death!
However, he was clearly lucky again; Prince Oberyn entered the cell and indicated he could help him.
"Your House Lannister harmed my sister and her two children; I want them to pay in blood, starting with the Mountain."
Oberyn, known as the Red Viper, had quite good strength.
Liu Bei, however, also came to the cell.
"Tyrion, I heard you were looking for me?"
The Imp's eyes lit up; Count Cass was a martial arts champion. With him as his champion, this was a sure win!
"I didn't expect Count Cass to be willing to come; please be my champion."
Liu Bei didn't mind.
The Mountain was a stumbling block to his occupation of King's Landing; Liu Bei intended to eliminate him.
The Mountain had been famous for twenty years; killing him would also enhance his own reputation for martial prowess.
Oberyn frowned.
"Count Cass, it seems I was here first."
Liu Bei shrugged.
"I haven't exercised in a long time either."
Oberyn pulled Liu Bei aside.
"Count Cass, leave this opportunity to me; I have a blood feud with the Lannisters."
Liu Bei advised,
"Prince, the Mountain is not easy to deal with; you are very agile, but he is too tanky. If you are not careful, you could be killed by him."
Oberyn didn't care.
"Regardless, I have waited for this day for a long time; I want to avenge my sister and her two children myself!"
Liu Bei sighed.
"Why bother? Let me deal with the Mountain, and everyone will be happy."
Oberyn was very persistent.
"I can introduce you to Tyene Sand; she is the most beautiful pearl of my Dorne. As long as you can handle her and make her your mistress, I have no objections."
Tyene was that big-eyed, short-haired girl; her figure and appearance were top-tier.
Liu Bei thought:??
He truly admired the values of the Dornish!
Since things had reached this point, what more could Liu Bei say? He could only say,
"Alright, Prince, don't be careless; the Mountain has thick skin and flesh, you have to kill him with one blow!"
Oberyn was a master of spear techniques, but Liu Bei knew that spearmen had always had the lowest luck stats.
The Imp actually wanted Count Cass to be his champion, but since things were like this, Oberyn would have to do.
King's Landing, Blackwater Bay, small arena.
Today the sun was bright, and the stands were full of people.
The Imp was somewhat depressed.
"Prince, at least wear a helmet."
"Oh, maybe don't drink before the battle..."
Oberyn laughed.
"I always drink before a battle."
The Imp was left in the wind; what an unreliable guy he had found!
Liu Bei appeared with Margaery.
Opposite them, the Mountain was already training there.
He saw Liu Bei, his eyes lit up, and he walked toward them, glaring fiercely at Liu Bei.
The Mountain was two meters and six centimeters tall, weighing over two hundred kilograms; he looked very imposing.
Margaery whispered,
"How terrifying!"
The Mountain walked over and looked down at Liu Bei.
"Kid, I heard you can fight well; can you withstand one of my punches!"
Liu Bei laughed.
"You don't look like much; fatter than the fattest pig!"
The Mountain was furious and swung his fist at Liu Bei!
Liu Bei shouted loudly,
"How bold! You dare to attack me!"
He also threw a punch at the Mountain!
Cersei and the others had long noticed the commotion here.
She naturally hoped the Mountain would kill Liu Bei, and Margaery beside him might as well be killed too!
The surrounding onlookers also pointed and whispered.
"Why did Count Cass provoke that demon, the Mountain..."
"It's over, those two are fighting!"
"What is Count Cass thinking, going head-to-head? It would be better if he used his sword technique to subdue the Mountain!"
"Boom!"
A loud noise.
The Mountain's massive fist collided with Liu Bei's!
The scene everyone expected—Liu Bei being sent flying—did not happen.
Instead, it was the Mountain who flew out like a kite with a broken string!
Everyone gasped!
"Count Cass's strength is terrifying!"
Tywin was also shocked; this Cass's strength was actually much greater than the Mountain's!
Cersei thought:?? Damn it!
The Imp screamed in his heart; he now regretted not begging Liu Bei to fight for him...
Several noblewomen became extremely envious.
"Count Cass's strength? Margaery has hit the jackpot!"
"Damn little Margaery, no spirit of sharing at all."
Margaery held Liu Bei's arm and whispered,
"I've been screwed by you; those noblewomen have opinions about me now."
Liu Bei hugged her waist.
"They are jealous of you."
The Grand Maester coughed and said,
"Count Cass, the Mountain is today's contestant."
Margaery snorted.
