Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Duel of Life and Death_1

”You are...”

Chen Jiantao looked at Jiang Chen in shock, his eyes revealing an incredulous expression. He exerted every ounce of control over himself, and it was only by biting his lips tightly that he managed to swallow back the cry of surprise.

Scar’s expression changed, his face full of astonishment as he looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at Scar and said with a light chuckle, ”This is also an important reason why I dared to agree to help you. If it were just Yi Chen and Dragon Flame, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even qualify to mention the word ’help’ to you.”

Scar felt a warmth in his heart and showed gratitude in his eyes, nodding heavily, ”Thank you, Dragon King. Rest assured, whether I succeed or fail, I will do my utmost not to involve your family.”

Jiang Chen patted Scar’s shoulder and said, ”Don’t speak so pessimistically. Who knows, if you succeed, I might be the one needing your care!”

”Haha, you’re my boss. What care? Whatever you say, that’s what I’ll do!” Scar laughed heartily as he spoke.

Jiang Chen slightly smiled and turned his head to push open the grand door at the end of the corridor.

Behind them, the Northern Union strongman whispered to Kui Mo, ”Boss Mo, should we inform the leader?”

”Call the leader. Xuan Long is here, and I can’t control the situation. Although in the Grand Beast Arena nothing should happen, if they do something irrational, then my death will be in vain!”

Kui Mo looked ahead at Jiang Chen and the others with a face full of apprehension.

However, Kui Mo’s attention was not on Jiang Chen but on Xuan Long. He knew that Xuan Long was a Paladin Knight in strength.

As for Jiang Chen, in his eyes, he was just a wealthy second-generation heir, nothing more!

Meanwhile, in the top floor office of the Grand Beast Arena, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other, discussing an individual.

After receiving an order from the Dark Night Queen, Luo Sha changed into casual clothing and came to the Grand Beast Arena to meet with Huo Huade.

”Mr. Howard, is that Dragon King really so daring?” Upon hearing that Jiang Chen had almost fallen out with Howard in the Grand Beast Arena, Luo Sha asked with a face full of surprise.

Howard nodded lightly: ”This Dragon King is definitely someone who would risk his life for his friends. A team led by such a person is the most frightening. If we become their enemy, then we must utterly annihilate their team. Otherwise, we will face an unending struggle. That’s why I gave the Dragon King some face because such a team, if allied with us, will be the most loyal ally.”

”In that case... perhaps this Dragon King is someone to look forward to,” Luo Sha nodded lightly.

Suddenly, the ringing of a phone broke the silence. Howard took out his phone and answered the call, ”Hello.”

”Mr. Howard, Xue Yu from the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group and Kui Mo from the Fiery Bird Mercenary Corps are having a deathmatch. The Dragon King, Xuan Long, Snake Woman, and Mengte De’er have already rushed over,” reported the voice from the handset.

”Fiery Bird Mercenary Corps? Are they looking for death?” Howard’s face took on a slight change as he spoke in a deep tone, ”Which Deathmatch Hall are they in?”

”In Deathmatch Hall Number Four! Sir, the leader of the Fiery Bird Mercenary Corps, Fiery Bird, has also arrived.”

”Alright, I know. I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Howard said softly, ”Let’s go see. The people from Dragon Flame and Fiery Bird are having a deathmatch. If I’m not wrong, Dragon Flame’s next target is the Fiery Bird Mercenary Corps!”

”You mean Dragon Flame is intentionally provoking?” Luo Sha frowned slightly.

Howard stood up and walked toward the door, continuing as he went, ”No, the Dragon Flame Mercenary Corps has never intentionally provoked anyone. But that’s how the mercenary world works—you don’t provoke others, but others will provoke you!

Every major battle involving Dragon Flame’s people has started with someone else’s provocation, and I think this time is no different. Moreover, Dragon Flame has just wiped out Dark Spider, and it’s precisely the time they need to establish authority and consolidate their position. Fiery Bird has just put themselves in the line of fire!”

Luo Sha nodded at the words and stood to follow.

...

The Grand Beast Arena was divided into three major halls and seven minor halls.

The three major halls were the places where beasts fought against each other or slaves of the Beast Fighting Arena fought against beasts; each hall could accommodate over three thousand people. Of course, for combats meant to spread a message deliberately, like what Magigier had intended, they too would choose the Grand Beast Arena.

The seven minor halls were designated for those itching for a fight against beasts or for duel to the death between individuals, with a capacity for two hundred spectators each.

Jiang Chen and the others, led by the staff, had now arrived at the fourth Deathmatch Hall.

The Deathmatch Hall, like the main arenas of the Grand Beast Arena, consisted of a large iron cage at the center, surrounded by tiers of spectator seats rising one above the other.

Onlookers who had followed all the way from the city gates had consciously taken their seats on the stands, leaving the row closest to the large iron cage empty.

Upon entering the Deathmatch Hall, Jiang Chen’s eyebrows raised as he glanced at a middle-aged man resting with his eyes closed in the first row of seats.

This was a slim man without any notable features, but Jiang Chen could sense that he was a Paladin Knight.

At the moment Jiang Chen and the others stepped into the fourth Deathmatch Hall, the man also opened his eyes and looked sharply towards Xuan Long and Xing Fei.

”Mr. Mo’er Chi, these two are the participants in the duel to the death,” said the staff member leading Jiang Chen and the others, stepping forward quickly and gesturing towards Chen Jiantao and the maniac, before speaking respectfully.

As if not hearing him, Mo’er Chi gave Xing Fei a deep look. Xing Fei’s body shuddered, and she clenched her teeth, waiting for Mo’er Chi with a strong look of hatred in her eyes.

”What’s the matter?” Jiang Chen asked Xing Fei, puzzled.

Xing Fei stared directly at Mo’er Chi, her voice filled with gritted teeth, ”When I was a slave here, he was my... Beastmaster!”

”Beastmaster?!” Jiang Chen’s expression changed, his look at Mo’er Chi turning dark.

Beastmaster, as the name implies, was someone who trained beasts. Given that Xing Fei and the others lived here like caged human beasts, it was obvious that a Beastmaster would not have been kind to them.

”This must be Mr. Dragon King, right? I am Mo’er Chi,” Mo’er Chi stood up and approached Jiang Chen, gave Xuan Long a glance, and bowed slightly towards Jiang Chen, his eyes full of interest, ”I am curious about Snake Woman’s current...”

”Her name is Xing Fei, not Snake Woman!” Jiang Chen interrupted Mo’er Chi coldly.

Mo’er Chi paused for a moment, then shrugged nonchalantly, ”OK, Xing Fei, I am very interested in Xing Fei’s strength!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. To others, this remark might not mean much, but to Jiang Chen and his group, it took on a different undertone. Clearly, he was asking how Xing Fei had managed to reach the strength of a Paladin Knight!

”Mr. Mo’er Chi, don’t you think you have too many questions?” Xuan Long said in a somber voice, his gaze shifting towards Mo’er Chi with a hint of murderous intent.

Mo’er Chi paused and looked at Xuan Long in surprise, ”Leader Xuan Long, are you harboring thoughts of killing me? Haha, in the Grand Beast Arena, you wish to kill a Beastmaster like me?”

A heavy shade of sarcasm spread across Mo’er Chi’s face.

”Leader Xuan Long, the Dragon Flame is really something, eh? First offending the Dark Spider, and now having murderous intentions towards Mr. Mo’er Chi in the Grand Beast Arena. It looks like Dragon Flame is set on dominating the Mercenary Corps!”

A mocking voice rang out as a middle-aged man with a cold complexion and short stature walked in from the entrance of the Deathmatch Hall.
