Chapter 182: Deathmatch

The crowd watching the battle was basically the general public, and these people would not know the identity of the dragon - if you only look at the appearance, the dragon is just an ordinary person.

Among the imprisoned slaves, there were those who were stronger in stature and fiercer in appearance than the dragon. Because of this, after the appearance of the dragon's enemies, almost no one expected the dragon to defeat his enemies.

In this place where humanity is completely unleashed, there is only a thirst for blood and violence, and no one comes here to see a scene of reconciliation. They don't care who dies or how miserable they are.

What the audience wants to see is just a scene of two people fighting to the death in the martial arts arena, and in the end, only one person remains. Naturally, the more cruel the process, the better, so when everyone saw the guy with the hammer, everyone thought the same thing.

Their instinct was that this two-meter-tall giant man could ravage the dragon and push him directly to the brink of death. Normally, it is impossible for the dragon to have any ability to resist in the face of such a giant. In the gladiatorial arena, the fist is the only justice.

But the spectators, who were expecting the brutal one-sided ravage, saw the exact opposite, and the jubilation of the crowd came to an abrupt halt within three seconds after the battle began, leaving for an uncomfortable dead silence.

The man with the long hammer, as everyone expected, in order to take the initiative, directly forced the dragon into a corner so that he could not escape, raised his hammer, and rushed towards the dragon without fear, like a fierce lion.

And the dragon, the man with his long messy hair and only a short dagger in his hand, actually disappeared in front of the giant's eyes in the blink of an eye. No one knows how the dragon did it.

However, when they found out that the dragon had reappeared, the giant man froze in place like a stone sculpture, motionless. Those huge eyes like copper bells stared at a corner of the sky hollowly, and there were no emotional fluctuations.

The whole person of the dragon was wrapped around the giant man's back, his two legs hooked the giant man's waist, and the upper body was also close to the enemy's back, one arm was tightly wrapped around the giant man, and the dagger in the other hand was deeply inserted into the giant man's neck.

Where the dagger was inserted, blood was gushing, like a slaughterhouse that had been bled and waiting to die, looking very pitiful and sad. The crowd was stunned by the scene, and after several minutes, the audience erupted in frantic cheers.

- They don't care who is dying, they want to see the most exciting scenes. Brutal and bloody fights count as one, but so does this unexpected reversal. Even, many times people prefer this unexpected reversal.

They will not be victims themselves, so they will not have any empathy or pity for the losers. Amid the deafening cheers, Yulong's complexion did not change, and his appearance was as calm and composed as ever.

As the giant man slowly fell, the dragon pulled out the dagger around his neck and glanced up at the center of the audience. There was an attic, and in the attic there was a Khan and a group of loyal retainers sitting there, and next to Ketche Khan, the expressionless Queen of Mingjing was also sitting.

What happened now was no surprise to the three people present. Before starting the deathmatch, the three men guessed the end of the story. The dragon himself is counted as one, as well as the Queen of Mingjing, and in addition to the Khan of Kochi.

The three of them had known each other since childhood, and Kochi Khan knew the dragon's prowess well, otherwise he would not have been selected to be the personal guard of Queen Mingjing for the rest of his life. It's just that, despite the expected ending, Koch Khan's face is still not good-looking.

- The dragon is a little more powerful than he imagined. This giant man dressed like a prisoner must know that he is the captain of the secret guard of the royal family carefully cultivated by Kochi Khan.

Kochi Khan still has some confidence in the strength of this giant, after all, he is also a talent carefully cultivated by the royal family, and he thinks that even if he can't defeat the dragon, he should be able to come up with something. But after all the introduction, Koch Khan found out that he was completely wrong, and he was wrong.

In front of the almost unreasonable dragon of strength, the giant man didn't even manage to hold out for a round. Can this still be called a duel? He couldn't even see through the dragon's movements, and he couldn't react when the dragon attacked.

What I am afraid of is comparison, and in the comparison of the strong strength of the dragon, the strength of the giant man looks like the kung fu of the three-legged cat. Kochi Khan didn't know how to express his feelings—now he was a giant who had lost, but he felt a little humiliated.

From the beginning, this was his trial and punishment for the dragon. He didn't think about letting the dragon out of this gladiatorial arena alive, maybe he could hold on for a while and not be brutally killed immediately, but the ending would not change in Kochi Khan's heart.

But now Kochi Khan's mind has changed a bit - he has a complete hatred for the dragon. This strong terrible fellow, to live for a day, is a humiliation, a threat. No one knows what will happen in the future, what if he eloped with Queen Myeongjing?

With this terrible thought in his mind, the last trace of guilt in Kochhan's heart was completely removed, and he no longer felt guilty about the dragon, but regarded him as a real enemy.

Kochi Khan still didn't release the dragon from the dungeon. However, he also strictly ordered to give Yulong the same treatment as everyone else. According to the rules set by Koch Khan himself, the winners of the gladiatorial arena who successfully defended their titles were entitled to the treatment they deserved.

Because the gladiatorial arena was well received by the people, Kochi Khan invested a lot of energy and financial resources in this area. Every day from 6 a.m. until 12 p.m., there will always be a brutal deathmatch match.

And because there weren't enough of these players to fight to the death, Kochi Khan even arrested those who should have been in prison and let them participate in the competition. And it's all rewarded.

For people in general, the biggest attraction is naturally wealth, so Koch Khan gives them bonuses every time they win. And those prisoners naturally need to have their own punishments reduced, and Kochi Khan has set it accordingly in the rules.

For example, death row prisoners can have their sentences reduced by five to ten years every time they survive a competition. The younger the mortal, the smaller the reduction in sentence, also taking into account their winning percentage.

But at the same time, it is actually a very vicious practice. In this gladiatorial arena where life and death need to be gambled every time, what they need to pay is the price of their lives. This means that the more matches you play, the higher the probability of death.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that they will come back safe and sound at the end of the game. This is especially true if it is a close competition, and many times, these competitors are unable to arrange their own competition schedule.

It's cruel enough to say that this tournament schedule has to be ranked according to the preferences of the gladiator of the gladiatorial arena. And the administrator of the gladiatorial arena is 100% loyal to Kochi Khan, so in fact, it is equivalent to Kochi Khan manipulating the outcome of the game.

Not completely manipulative, of course, but to a certain extent. For example, if a certain condemned contestant is popular and can bring a very considerable profit, then Kochi Khan will let him live for a while longer in order to squeeze his maximum value.

As I said before, when you win, the players will get very good treatment. And the more wins you have, the higher the pay.

So, when the player who keeps winning is no longer in proportion to the value he can provide, Koch Khan will dispose of these guys like useless pawns.

At least seventy percent of these gladiatorial arena players were in the dark of life, and there were many condemned prisoners, and because of this, even if they died, it would not have a negative impact on Kochi Khan's prestige as a monarch, and the audience would not be eager to see that scene.

The condemned prisoner was finally brutally defeated and killed by his opponent in the gladiatorial arena, will the audience sympathize when they see this scene? Never, they just let out a scream of excitement.

Therefore, those guys whose popularity is gradually decreasing, and the scars, pressure, and fatigue accumulated on their bodies are becoming more and more exhausted, will be disposed of one by one by Kochi Khan in secret. The way is also very simple and natural - constantly scheduling them to play.

No matter how much he was consumed in the last battle, Kochi Khan would not compromise, and he would unceremoniously arrange the game again and again until he was obediently crippled and then died according to his own plan.

Until now, Kochi Khan had not missed even once, because this in itself was a game between absolute power and slaves. It is impossible for a slave to defeat a man with absolute power. As long as the former want to, they have 10,000 ways to play them to death.

Therefore, although Kochi Khan was really taken aback by the strength of the dragon, he regained his composure shortly after returning home. Yes, there is no need to rush, he just needs to continue to do what he wants, and there is no need to even rush to be disposed of by the dragon.

On the other hand, a player with top strength like Yulong is a rare talent in any country, and it is difficult to find. In addition, taking into account his own situation, Kochi Khan handled things seamlessly in order to appear to be seamless.

After the victory of the dragon, Kochi Khan even secretly sent people to give him more preferential treatment - a victory, which brought the dragon a comfortable residence, as well as the palace maid of Yingying Yanyan and the service of the faithful eunuch.

And all this was done under the orders of Kochi Khan himself, without the slightest hint of the pleading of Queen Mingjing. Kochi Khan did this, of course, not to control the dragon, but to satisfy his own selfish desires as much as possible before the predetermined outcome arrived.

After cultivating the dragon into a popular player, all you have to do after that is to wait. When the strength of the dragon began to decline, the injuries and fatigue accumulated on his body began to overwhelm him little by little, making him more and more thrilling with each victory. Then Kochhan can start to make the game more difficult.

On the one hand, the interval between the match dates is shortened little by little, and on the other hand, the enemies who are sent to the field are enhanced. You can even put together a few unrelated guys and lie that they're all the same.
