Chapter 231: Challenging the Village Chief Part 2

"You are under pressure, haha!" Ross looked at the ten village heads below and smiled.

"Lord Ross, isn't this fun? It's been a while since I've done this, so it's a good time to have some fun."

The one who spoke was one of the village chiefs. With the strength of the Demon Marshal who had reached the Great Perfection, he was indeed qualified to talk about it.

The other village heads also laughed. They knew very well the strength of the villages under their jurisdiction. The most powerful one was only in the late stage of Demon Marshal. In the village head challenge, they could invite another village head to help. With two great Demon Marshals at the great perfection stage, how could the other side, who was at most in the third late stage, fight against them?

This rule was actually established by the Upper Demon Clan to consolidate their power. A successful challenger would receive a fifty-year protection period, during which they could not collect any taxes or accept any challenges, posing a threat to their income and rule. However, at the end of the protection period, they would face a village chief qualification competition, where the other village chiefs would select three candidates to compete against them. This was also a disguised way of protecting the Upper Demon Clan's supreme power.

The challenge was tomorrow, and Ling Tian and the other two stayed in the town. At 10 magic crystals a night, it was much cheaper than where humans stayed, but the comfort was worse. It was just a room with a hard bed. For the demons, it was enough to have a place to live, and they didn't have much demand. This made Ling Tian see a business opportunity. If the town could expand in size and provide comfortable accommodation, the business would probably be very good.

Ling Tian wandered around the town for the entire afternoon. Driven by money, he finally had a comprehensive understanding of the challenge posed by the village chief.

"So there are these benefits. 50 years of security, so I can let go and develop freely. Once the deadline is up, as long as I pass the qualification review, I can challenge the upper demon clan. This is the only chance, I must seize it."

Ling Tian's grand ambitions gleamed in his eyes.

The next day, the atmosphere in the entire town was noticeably different, because everyone knew that there would be a village chief challenge today. All the demons who heard the news rushed over. The arena, which could only accommodate 20,000 demons, was now squeezed with 50,000 demons. It was a sea of ​​black, and the scene was unprecedented.

Ross and the ten village heads were all present on the rostrum. They had to be present today. This was a rule passed down for billions of years, and they dared not violate it.

Ross stood up and walked to the center. The terrifying pressure of the primary demon king dissipated, and there was silence all around.

"It's the once-in-a-decade challenge again. This is a spur to us all. Falling behind means death. Today, we will face the first village chief challenge in hundreds of years. This is a display of fearless courage, worthy of learning for every demon, and it is also what we in the Upper Demon Clan hope to see. Please welcome our warrior today, Warrior Luo Ling, and his subordinates Warriors Milina and Xiyang."

"No matter what the outcome, these three will be remembered by us for generations to come. So, how are we going to greet them???"

"Luo Ling, Luo Ling..."

The cheers were so deafening that even the heavens were shaken. The gray-black sky was bathed in red light, and the entire arena was radiant.

Ling Tian's eyes suddenly opened, his gaze filled with an incomparable determination.

"Let's go and welcome our highlight moment. This moment belongs to my Luoling tribe. I will take you to the highest platform and overlook the sky and the earth."

Ling Tian's figure at this moment was infinitely magnified, and his momentum was soaring to the sky. Even Ross on the high platform frowned.

"You better be careful!"

Ross said this and then shut his mouth. He had another sentence to say, but he felt he was being too suspicious so he didn't say it.

Challenging the village chief is a random selection. If you choose it yourself, you will have to fight against three village chiefs. Ling Tian didn't want to attract too much attention, so he chose random.

"The results are out. The village chief challenged by the Luoling tribe is A Lingluo. Please prepare yourself."

"A Lingluo, which township head are you looking for to assist in the battle?"

"Lord Ross, there's no need for that. If we have to help fight against a few guys who haven't even grown all their hair, won't we be laughed at by everyone? Haha!"

"You decide this for yourself. I won't be involved in these decisions. Are you sure you don't need help?"

"Yes, sir. I, Alingluo, do not need any help in the battle. Because my Alingluo tribe is not afraid of challenges, don't you agree?"

A Lingluo was a demon who could incite people. His words provoked a strong reaction at the scene, and the momentum suddenly reversed because everyone felt that this was a battle with a huge disparity in strength.

"Okay, then this Village Chief Challenge will begin with three members of the Luoling tribe challenging the Village Chief of the Alingluo tribe. Let's begin now!"

Following Ross's command, a red energy barrier rose around the entire arena, and it would never open unless one side died.

"I admire your courage, what a pity, hahaha!"

A Lingluo still had that look of disdain, not taking this fight whose outcome he already knew seriously. But he soon regretted it, because of his carelessness, Ling Tian instantly attacked him and knocked him to the ground, making him look miserable.

Amina and the other person also attacked at that moment, holding the exclusive magic weapons refined by Ling Tian for them and slashing down fiercely. He was immediately attacked as he just started to sway, and was smashed to the ground again. A deep pit cracked open, which showed that the attack was quite powerful.

What happened in such a split second left everyone speechless, staring at the field with wide eyes. Why was it so different from what they had imagined?

"Bang~"

"Ah!!! Damn it! I'm going to tear you apart alive~~"

The attack just now didn't cause A Lingluo much damage, but he was completely humiliated. To be knocked to the ground by a few little demons? How could this be tolerated!

With a stomping of his feet, A Lingluo shot out like a cannonball. For these demons, the body is their weapon. The higher the level of the demon, the less likely they are to use weapons.

"Bang bang~"

There was a loud crash, and dust flew everywhere, but the scene was not as expected. Even A Lingluo looked at Ling Tian in disbelief. How could a late-stage cultivator dare to fight against a Great Perfection cultivator like him? And he was not at a disadvantage.

In this moment of distraction, two spiritual sword beams flashed by, and the tough defense was also broken a little. The scarlet blood made A Lingluo wake up. He was injured. He was actually injured, which meant that the other party could hurt him and had the strength to defeat him.

"Why is Luo Ling's defense so strong?"

In the stands, the nine village heads were somewhat incredulous. They didn't dare to withstand A Lingluo's attack. However, Ross noticed something and said, "He has practiced defensive armor techniques. He must have inherited something from a demon king."

"If that happens, Alingluoke will be in danger. As long as he's restrained, the other two can continue to roam and attack, and there's a real chance they'll succeed."
