Both men were armed with longswords, but the two swords were of different lengths. The one defending had a significantly longer sword, while the one attacking had a significantly shorter one. The two swords clashed together, making a clanging sound, but neither of them trembled and remained standing still.
The stalemate between the two remained unbroken, as their attacks were evenly matched.
"Who do you think will win between these two?" some people started discussing.
“I think it should be the person on defense,” one of them replied.
"Why?" the other person asked.
"Look at the defender. He clearly has more stamina than the attacker. The attacker keeps launching attacks, but he can't break through the defender's defense until finally the attacker's stamina is exhausted, and naturally, he's no match for the defender," the man explained.
Chen Zhou chuckled at the man's explanation. Chen Zhou guessed that the attacker would win, because he had just witnessed the attacker actually having another attack in store.
The most powerful attack wasn't seen by everyone; probably only Chen Zhou saw that it was a sharp, long needle.
Chen Zhou had never seen this weapon before; this was the first time he had ever seen it. On this Tianyun Continent, Chen Zhou had never seen such a weapon before. He had only seen it in a TV series in his previous life, where it was called a hidden weapon.
Chen Zhou only realized it was a very long needle after he saw the reflection by the light.
At this point, the long needle had probably already slowly pierced into the body of the defender.
The man's hidden weapon struck unexpectedly, and the defender was clearly unable to defend against it. His defense was based on knowing and anticipating the man's next attack, but this time, he did not anticipate it, so the long needle had already pierced his body.
Chen Zhou then guessed that the long needle had already entered the defender's body, because he was already showing a pained expression.
The fighting platform wasn't far from everyone, and they could all see the expressions on the two people's faces. The attacker clearly revealed a sinister smile slowly.
"Look everyone, that person is laughing!" someone suddenly said.
"The person who launched the attack clearly doesn't have an advantage, so why is he laughing?" another person asked.
“You wouldn’t know this, would you? This is the death smile before death!” another person said slowly.
"The Death Smile?" someone murmured repeatedly.
Just then, the tide of battle suddenly turned.
The defender's body fell straight to the ground, still in the same position, and the painful expression was forever etched on his face. No one knew that he had already lost all signs of life.
The defender was defeated by the attacker.
Chen Zhou was deeply moved after watching the battle.
This was clearly a new method of combat. Chen Zhou didn't know what the weapon was, but the weapon he saw now was probably the one he had exchanged in the Shanghai store, and it was extremely powerful.
However, as the body of the defender slowly disappeared, Chen Zhou realized that the long needle had not come out. It was clear that the Demon Capital had taken back the long needle and the body together, leaving only a token that slowly fell to the ground.
If there are many of those weapons, then its combat power must be extremely strong.
If Chen Zhou were to fight it now, he probably wouldn't be able to dodge that long needle. However, Chen Zhou has already prepared himself mentally, but it's still difficult to defend against that weapon.
However, despite this, Chen Zhou was still not very confident, as this kind of hidden weapon was not something that could be easily defended against.
The fighter actually won, which shocked everyone present. They watched as the defender's body slowly disappeared, eventually turning into a token that vanished from the entire battle arena.
The token lay silently on the ground. Then, the man who had fought slowly walked to the token and picked it up. He faced everyone with the air of a victor.
Everyone cheered for him, and a wave of enthusiastic applause rose up.
The applause erupted like a tidal wave and then quickly faded away. The battle platform was lowered, and the victor jumped off it.
He clutched the token in his hand, fearing someone might challenge him. Chen Zhou could tell at a glance that the person probably didn't have many weapons; this was likely his only one. Without it, he'd lose his means of self-defense, making the next battle even more difficult.
After seeing the man come down, Chen Zhou immediately strode onto the battle platform. Only then did Chen Zhou realize that the middle-aged merchant next to him had already disappeared.
At this point, Chen Zhou was no longer able to get off the battle platform.
Since Chen Zhou has already stepped onto the battle platform, he absolutely cannot come down from it unless he challenges someone or engages in a battle. This is the rule of the Burning Arena battle platform.
Unable to get off the fighting platform, Chen Zhou had no choice but to challenge the people below. All he needed to do was slowly pronounce the name of the person he wanted to challenge.
"Zeng Yushu." Chen Zhou slowly uttered the man's name, and the area below the tenth-floor battle arena in Shanghai immediately fell silent. Although Chen Zhou's voice wasn't loud, everyone could hear it, and the name was carried on like a tide, as everyone searched for the man named Zeng Yushu.
