Chapter 3: Murderer
"Mr. Black Scorpion, is there anything you need to order?" said a sweet-looking girl in the ring as she walked up to Xia Zuo.
"Hmm, where's Aihime?" Natsuzo frowned, not Aihime in front of him.
There is a difference between a ring girl and a maid, a maid serves all guests, while a ring girl is exclusive to a contestant, but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they are all beautiful!
"Ai Ji has taken a leave of absence to rest, if you have any instructions from Sir, you can find me, my name is Mia!" said the ring girl who looked more innocent than Ai Ji with a double ponytail, and Xia Zuo noticed that her ears were already red and transparent.
After two ends, on April 17, 1812, Xia Zuo's first defensive battle against 'Mad Dog' Luca, Xia Zuo's odds were 1:3.1, Luke's odds were 1:1.6, Xia Zuo won by KO, which took 18 minutes.
On April 20, Xia Zuo won the second game against 'Long Legs' Jonas, Xia Zuo's odds were 1:2.2, and Jonas was 1:1.3, Xia Zuo won by KO, which took 15 minutes.
On April 23, Xia Zuo won the third game against the 'Roundabout Scimitar' Mark, Xia Zuo's odds were 1:13, Mark's odds were 1:2, and Xia Zuo won by KO, which took 16 minutes.
......
On May 11, Xia Zuo fought against 'Black Ape' Yannick in the ninth game, Xia Zuo's odds were 1:0.7, Yannick's odds were 1:6, Xia Zuo won by KO, which took 12 minutes.
With nine straight wins, Xia Zuo won all by knockout, officially confirming his status as a top contender in the 'Flesh and Blood' fight, while earning a net worth of nearly 2,000 gold by constantly betting on himself to win.
In fact, Xia Zuo earned enough 100 gold coins to go to school after successfully defending two matches, and he could choose to give up his position as the champion and withdraw from the competition, but he didn't, because he liked the feeling of being in the ring, and he liked the hysterical cheers of the crowd after the victory.
If Xia Zuo wants to fight again, he can only win ten consecutive victories, not only will he get a high prize of 100 gold coins, but he will also qualify for the Ultimate League.
The so-called Ultimate League is a tournament composed of 13 rings in the underground fighting arena of England City, and all the participants who have successfully defended 10 or more matches in a year.
In a luxurious room.
"Has he been identified?" asked Amos in a deep voice.
"No, he hasn't left the ring for a month, and there's no information about him outside, but legend has it that he has a black scorpion tattoo on his back, which is one of his characteristics, and I'm already collecting information on this for investigation!" Hoss said, pacing the room back and forth with red wine in hand.
"Gotta stop him, let Ben play in the next game, kill him!" Amos said with a deep groan, his eyes flashing with cruelty.
Ben, nicknamed the murderer, ranked in the top five of the underground fighting arena in terms of strength, and has successfully defended 36 fights in a row, of which 32 opponents died in the ring and four opponents were seriously injured.
It is said that Ben is not an ordinary human being, but a barbarian!
Amos was a nobleman, and Ben was not a free man, he was a slave of Amos, and it was he who made Ben give up his status as a lord in the first place.
May 13, before midnight, underground fighting arena.
Thousands of spectators were thrilled by the excitement of Xia Zuo's tenth fight as the champion, as today could be Xia Zuo's last fight, and once he managed to defend ten games in a row, he would have the option to take a break and wait for a more advanced league.
What's more, there are a few more special spectators in the arena today.
"Look, that's Anthony, the strongest man in the underground fighting arena, who has successfully defended 'Crazy Axe' for fifty-six consecutive fights. β
"Look at him, it's Bart who used to defend thirty games in a row, he's here!"
"...... 'White Glove' Amos, he's here too, they're all here!"
The audience became more agitated and whispered.
In the middle of the front row on the east side of the ring, five or six of the top fighters in the underground fighting arena are sitting together, among which the two-meter-tall 'Crazy Axe' Anthony is the most eye-catching, and his tiger-backed body sits on the chair, as if sitting on a small bench, exuding a heart-palpitating heavy aura.
They are all masters whose strength can be ranked in the top ten in the underground fighting arena, and the reason why they came to watch this match is not because of Xia Zuo, the strength that Xia Zuo has always shown cannot be taken seriously by all the masters, they are here because this is the comeback fight of 'Murderer' Ben, which is an opponent that all of them are afraid of.
β...... Let's have this game to the main black ...... Scorpion!" In the ring, the host shouted in a long voice.
Xia Zuo's figure appeared at the entrance of the passage, followed by a large group of people.
"Black Scorpion, I love you!"
"Black Scorpion! Black Scorpion!"
In the sound of the mountain and the tsunami, Xia Zuo walked down the stairs surrounded by a group of people, except for Ai Ji, the rest of the people around him were all guards arranged for him by the fighting ring, and their main role was to stop the excited audience at the scene and prevent anyone from rushing towards Xia Zuo.
β...... With nine consecutive victories, let's welcome today's champions once again...... Black Scorpion!" In the ring, the host standing next to Xia Zuo said passionately.
The cheers in the arena suddenly reached new heights, and amid the hysterical uproar, Xia Zuo waved his hand to greet the surrounding audience.
After the cheers subsided slightly.
"Okay, let's have today's challenger...... Wow, this is our old friend, who has successfully defended 36 games in a row, and finally took the initiative to give up the identity of the champion, I think everyone already knows who he is, and his name is there when placing bets, so let's have a 'murderer'...... Ben!"
With the host's voice, the voice in the fighting arena suddenly weakened, gradually became quiet, and the commotion in the small area quickly subsided.
Ben is not a contestant who is loved by the audience, the audience comes here to find excitement and likes blood, but everything has a limit, Ben has no bottom line, he once tore people to pieces in a game, blood was splashed on the faces of the audience, and many viewers vomited after watching that game.
People who really like Ben, in addition to perverts, are only perverted!
Click...... Click...... Click......
With the sound of soft footsteps, Ben stepped out of the passage on the west side, alone, and slowly walked down the stairs.
He is about 1.7 meters tall, on the thin side, the bridge of his nose is somewhat collapsed, but his cheekbones are high, his head, limbs, chest, and both sides of his cheeks have thick hair, and his arms are longer than normal humans.
He didn't have anything to wear except for a big pair of pants, and as Ben kept walking to the ring, the arena became silent, and many spectators on both sides of the stairs subconsciously shrank their bodies inward, with fear flashing in their eyes, and Xia Zuo also looked at Ben's soles, Ben's soles were a little big, and there were thick horns on them, so when they went down the stairs, they made a "click" sound.
Walking down the stairs to the ring, Ben jumped up suddenly, jumped up to a height of four or five meters, jumped into the ring like an ape, made a dull sound on all fours, and then slowly straightened up.
"Ben, are you okay? long time no see!" the host said familiarly, looking at Ben.
"Hello!" Ben suddenly turned around, opened his mouth wide and let out a strange cry like a beast, his face was hideous, and his body was about to pounce on the host, but he stopped his body.
The host's frightened body shrank back, and he took the microphone and said quickly: "Please referee, the game will start immediately!" and then walked off the ring quickly, looking a little embarrassed.
Xia Zuo was observing Ben, watching without saying a word, Ben maintained a hideous face after scaring away the referee, grinning and slowly turning his head to look at Xia Zuo, Xia Zuo could even see the minced meat between Ben's teeth.
Ben's gaze was very special, with mockery and condescending scrutiny, like a powerful beast, observing his prey, and Xia Zuo really felt the vicious aura of the beast in him.
"Players prepare in one minute!" said the referee, still the 'light and shadow hermit' who looked like the fat uncle.
Natsuzo walked to the corner, took off his clothes, and threw them to Aihime outside the ring.
A minute later, in the middle of the ring, Xia Zuo and Ben Xiang stood opposite each other, and at the same time stretched out their fists and touched each other, and the referee stood between the two with his hands on their fists.
"Let's go!"
The referee disappeared, and Xia Zuo retreated, making defensive moves, but Ben stood still and didn't move, looking at Xia Zuo with a mocking look in his eyes.
Xia Zuo has already reached the warning that if a person is shameless, he is invincible, and if someone hits him on the left cheek, he can lean over the right cheek and let the other party beat him again, Ben's various behaviors can make him feel that Ben is naΓ―ve, and there is nothing else.
Xia Zuo gave Ben an "idiot" look.
Ben seemed to be enraged, he was indeed more normal than a normal person, swift like a monkey pounced, jumped up and rushed towards Xia Zuo, Xia Zuo leaned forward and quickly raised his legs, and kicked out violently.
Sting!
Ben suddenly accelerated, grabbed Xia Zuo's ankle, and with the sound of his pants being torn, Xia Zuo was thrown out of the ground, fell heavily to the ground, and slid five or six meters away before stopping.
Everything is complicated, but it actually happened in an instant, and what the audience outside saw was that Ben rushed over and grabbed Xia Zuo, and then easily threw it away, and Xia Zuo didn't have the slightest strength to fight back.
The underground arena was silent, no one cheered, and in their hearts, they preferred to win with Xia Zuo, and the 'murderer' was too brutal to be disgusted.
"Underestimate you!" Xia Zuo rolled over and stood up, looking at Ben with excitement on his face, at this time the trouser leg on Xia Zuo's left calf had disappeared, and the blurred flesh and blood on the leg looked like a scratch from a beast, Ben was very strong, such an opponent was exactly what Xia Zuo was looking forward to.
"You ......" Ben began, his voice hoarse and with a heavy exotic accent, and he said as he dropped half of his trouser leg, shoved his bloody fingers in his mouth and sucked lightly, grinning, "No!"
"Okay, I'll know only after I beat it!" Xia Zuo laughed, and as he spoke, his body shot out and rushed towards Ben.
