The circular closed iron cage was nine meters in diameter and five meters high. The cement floor was covered with various blood stains.
The huge lighting source above makes the iron cage as bright as day, and every detail is clearly visible.
The circular seats around the iron cage are arranged in tiers, all hidden in darkness.
The swordsman standing in the iron cage squinted his eyes slightly. Coming from the darkness to such a bright place, he needed to adjust the condition of his eyes.
The swordsman waited for a few seconds until his eyes finally adjusted to the bright light. He still couldn't see the audience clearly, only the shadowy figures moving around.
You can hear the audience making all kinds of noisy shouts and the host roaring into the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this level 5 swordsman comes from an alien domain. He is an experienced veteran. His nickname is Veteran. Today, his opponent is Blooddrinker. I believe everyone knows that Blooddrinker is our ace swordsman..."
With the host's introduction, Blood Drinker appeared on the stage.
Blood Drinker was tall and strong, holding a long sword. He was wearing a dark breastplate and looked extremely tough.
The audience was obviously very familiar with Blooddrinking, and there was a huge cheer. The scene seemed very lively.
Blood Drinker also raised his hands and nodded to the audience around him.
Following the host's command, the two swordsmen quickly began fighting.
Because it was a real sword fight, although both sides had armor on their bodies, it could only protect the chest and abdomen. If they were stabbed in other places, the fight would end almost immediately.
Therefore, both swordsmen acted very cautiously, circling each other, and no one was in a hurry to take action.
"Both of them are level five swordsmen. This battle should be exciting."
Bai Yutang introduced the battle situation to Gao Xuan, her eyes shining, and she was obviously very interested in this real sword duel.
Gao Xuan was also a little surprised. A level 5 swordsman was already pretty good, and he could make a living anywhere. But he actually came here to participate in a brutal real sword duel.
Although medical technology is advanced nowadays, you will still die if your head is chopped off.
In this kind of underground real sword duel, swordsmen are consumables.
This shows how powerful this underground real sword duel arena is.
"Blooddrinker is going to win. This family's ace swordsman is indeed very powerful."
Before Bai Yutang finished speaking, Yinxue suddenly swung his sword and slashed continuously.
The swordsman was forced into a corner and rolled on the ground to avoid the powerful horizontal slash. However, he did not expect that the Blood Drinker's sword was a feint, and he quickly followed the old soldier and slashed again.
The old soldier rolling on the ground had no way to dodge and could only block with both hands raised his sword.
The two swords collided, and the old soldier's sword was cut and sank suddenly.
The blood-drinking heavy sword cut deeply into the old soldier's shoulder, pressing him to the ground.
The old soldier's face was full of despair. He looked at Blood Drinker helplessly, his eyes full of pleading and pity.
The attention at the scene was boiling, and everyone shouted together: "Kill, kill, kill..."
Blood Drinker seemed to have received some instructions. He grinned grimly and slowly swung his sword to cut the old soldier's neck.
Seeing the old soldier's head and body separated, the audience screamed with excitement. The atmosphere reached a climax.
Bai Yutang's bright eyes were sparkling, and she admired the killing in front of her.
She glanced at Gao Xuan standing beside her and found that he was neither excited nor frightened, but seemed very calm.
This made her a little suspicious that Gao Xuan couldn't see the battle on the scene.
Until now, Bai Yutang has not figured out the operating mode and observation range of Gao Xuan's telepathy.
To this end, Bai Yutang conducted many experiments.
Obviously, Gao Xuan can observe everything that ordinary people can see. He can even observe the color, the specific shape of the object and other details.
However, telepathy is obviously not the eyes, and cannot be regarded as vision.
The box they were in was the top VIP box, and the straight-line distance from the duel field was nearly 100 meters. At this distance, it was normal if Gao Xuan could not sense the situation in the duel field.
"Ah Xuan, can you see the battle?" Bai Yutang asked casually.
"Just barely, I can sense it."
Gao Xuan said: "It's a bit tragic that the old soldier died by having his head cut off."
Only then did Bai Yutang believe that Gao Xuan could indeed sense things a hundred meters away. This kind of telepathy was truly powerful.
She casually explained: "Real life is so cruel. The old soldier owed a huge gambling debt and had to put himself on the line. In the end, he lost and had to die in the duel."
Bai Yutang said with some emotion: "In the Galaxy Era, humans have become more realistic. Everything they do is for profit."
"I always feel that Sister Tang is reminding me to pay back the money." Gao Xuan said with a smile.
"Haha, no no."
Bai Yutang laughed dumbly: "Tens of millions are nothing to me. Pay me back when you have money."
Bai Yutang emphasized, "I am just reminding you that the alliance is a business alliance. This is also the business era. Everything is based on profit. No matter what you want, money is the necessary foundation."
Gao Xuan sighed and said, "I've also discovered that making money isn't that easy."
He asked curiously, "How much does a level 5 swordsman get paid?"
"Level 5 swordsmen are not common anymore. The risk is extremely high, and they usually get two to three million in appearance fees."
"It's a lot of money."
Gao Xuan became interested: "If I win ten games, I will earn tens of millions."
"No, that's too dangerous."
Bai Yutang held Gao Xuan's hand and said, "I will never let you take risks."
She paused and said seriously, "I'll give you the Seven Star Orb as a gift. I don't want the money."
"Sister Tang, don't be like this."
Gao Xuan also said seriously: "Friends are friends, money is money. Don't mix them together."
Bai Yutang said helplessly: "No matter what, you can't participate in the real sword duel."
She lowered her voice and said, "The bosses of these underground duel arenas are very powerful. They are a huge organization. I can't afford to offend them. Once you get involved in their scheme and make their money, don't even think about getting out."
Gao Xuan nodded. He believed that Bai Yutang had not lied to him. He was an assassin and knew the dark world very well.
He was just speaking casually just now to test Bai Yutang's attitude.
I didn't expect Bai Yutang to care about him so much. However, it is also possible that Bai Yutang is acting.
Although the six-winged cicada is the most spiritual, it does not have the ability to detect people's hearts.
People like Bai Yutang will not easily reveal their flaws even if they tell lies.
Besides, Bai Yutang and him got along quite well and had some feelings for each other.
As I said, bad guys are also human beings... We can't treat bad guys as monsters.
Even Gao Xuan admired Bai Yutang. She was beautiful and charming, smart and gentle. She was very good to him. Even if she had other purposes, this kind of kindness still made him feel comfortable and enjoyable.
Bai Yutang was holding Gao Xuan's hand and talking when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
A short and stocky old man walked in, holding a thick cigar in his hand and a smile on his face that showed a bit of undisguised brutality.
"Yutang is here, why didn't you tell me?"
The old man seemed very enthusiastic. He glanced at Gao Xuan and the hands of Bai Yutang and Gao Xuan holding together, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"This little brother looks unfamiliar. Is he Yutang's younger brother?"
Bai Yutang smiled slightly: "It's my brother."
She then introduced Gao Xuan: "This is Boss Hong Anfu Hong. He is not only the boss of this underground duel arena, but also the big brother of the underground world of Mingjing City."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
Hong Anfu was very happy to be praised, but he still appeared humble on the surface.
He then said to Gao Xuan: "Little brother, you are really handsome. If you go down, you won't even need to fight, you can drive women crazy."
Bai Yutang interrupted Hong Anfu: "My brother is a good man, I just brought him here to broaden his horizons."
Hong Anfu looked at the sunglasses on Gao Xuan's face and felt that it was a bit strange. The lights in the box were dim and it was far from the duel field. What was the meaning of this guy wearing big sunglasses
Besides, what does it mean to not take off your sunglasses in front of him
Hong Anfu suddenly had an idea and recalled the rumor circulating in the community that Bai Yutang had kept a gigolo named Gao Xuan. It was said that this gigolo was also blind.
Could it be this person
Hong Anfu asked tentatively: "Isn't this little brother's surname Gao?"
"Gao Xuan."
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Please take care of me in the future, Boss Hong."
Hong Anfu was disdainful in his heart. He was just a little duck, and a blind duck at that.
He laughed proudly: "You are Yutang's brother, which means you are my brother. Add me as a friend, and come to me if you have any problems in the future."
Hong Anfu exchanged contact information with Gao Xuan, then turned to Bai Yutang and said, "Yutang, come to me when you are free. I have something to discuss with you."
Bai Yutang nodded, and after Hong Anfu left, she solemnly warned Gao Xuan, "Hong Anfu is a scumbag who can squeeze his mother's oil and sell it for money. He is rotten to the bone. You must never associate with him."
"He's such an ugly guy, I have no interest in associating with him."
Gao Xuan said: "Besides, this person seems to be very hostile to me, and I don't know why."
Gao Xuan asked curiously, "Isn't this toad jealous of me and my sister?"
"Haha, you have a very poisonous tongue."
Bai Yutang then reminded, "Fatty Hong is very narrow-minded. You must not say bad things about him. If he hears you, he will remember you for the rest of his life."
Bai Yutang said a few words to Gao Xuan, then got up and left the box and went to Hong Anfu's office.
There were two bodyguards standing in this office, both wearing exoskeleton armor.
Bai Yutang took a look and said with some amusement: "Is it so exaggerated?"
"The blood sword has been rampant in Mingjing City recently, so it's best to be careful."
Hong Anfu pointed at the sofa and said, "Yutang hasn't been here for a long time, and the quality of the goods you provide is getting worse and worse."
Bai Yutang said coldly: "Ten level five swordsmen are not enough? How many more do you want?"
"Level 5 swordsmen are too expensive. Let's get a batch of good quality and cheap ones."
Hong Anfu said, "Last time you said there were a group of fifteen-year-old swordsmen. I want them all. It's exciting to see children fighting for their lives."
"Eight hundred thousand each, how much do you want?"
"That's too expensive. Six hundred thousand."
"One hundred packs for 70 million."
"Okay, it's settled. Please ship it as soon as possible."
Bai Yutang and Hong Anfu often do business, and they can close a deal with just a few words.
"You guys are really good at making money. You can just kidnap a bunch of kids and sell them for tens of millions. Tsk tsk..."
Hong Anfu sighed with some envy.
"You won't suffer any loss. We can make a lot of money from the fights between these swordsmen. After they die, we can decompose their organs, extract their genes, and sell them for money. In the end, we can even use them to feed the exotic beasts."
Bai Yutang said calmly: "You even exchanged your bones for money, what's there to be unhappy about?"
Hong Anfu laughed dryly, "Yutang is familiar with the place, haha."
Hong Anfu rolled his eyes and said, "Yutang, please sell Gao Xuan to me too. He is so handsome, the rich ladies will definitely go crazy for him!"
"Impossible." Bai Yutang flatly refused.
Hong Anfu disagreed: "It's fine if you just play with it, but you really need to keep it for a long time."
He thought for a moment and stretched out his short, thick hand: "I'll give you 500 million. That should be enough!"
