The prisoners in the Battle Arena were not easy to deal with.
Their ferocious aura made it obvious that their hands were stained with blood.
Lin Xue said worriedly as she watched Xiao Lao fight with the prisoner. Although Xiao Lao was strong, the prisoner looked scary too.
The Sword Maniac said with a twitch of his lips.
"That person is no match for Xiao Lao."
Who knew how many times he had sparred with Xiao Luo. With regards to his strength, the Sword Maniac could be said to know it like the back of his hand. In the same realm, those who could defeat Xiao Luo could be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and water chestnuts.
Plus, from the way they fought until now, Xiao Luo had the absolute advantage in every aspect. No matter if it was strength, speed, or the density of his spiritual energy, Xiao Luo had the advantage that was visible to the naked eye.
Of course, these prisoners were locked up in the Battle Arena. They could not be in their best condition all the time.
If there was one thing that the prisoner was better than Xiao Lao, it would be his battle awareness.
After all, all of these villains had climbed out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They had experienced countless battles in their lives. Their battle awareness had been honed to perfection.
This was what Xiao Lao and the other young geniuses lacked. Perhaps this was the reason why the North King created the Battle Arena.
He used these villains to train everyone's battle awareness.
It was obvious that Xiao Lao knew his weakness. That was why he did not use his strongest killer move from the beginning.
Instead, he kept fighting with the death row prisoner. Xiao Lao knew that this was a good opportunity to train his battle awareness.
If he used his killer move to end the battle, it would lose the meaning of the battle.
If that happened, Xiao Lao's battle awareness would not be tempered at all. This was something that Xiao Lao did not want to see.
Because of this, the Sword Maniac was sure that Xiao Lao would be the final winner.
He had the ability to kill the prisoner instantly, but he did not do so.
Even the North King's Palace's experts nodded as they watched the battle in the arena.
This brat was very smart. Moreover, he also understood the meaning behind the existence of the Battle Arena. That's right, this was the kind of battle that should appear in the Battle Arena.
Even if he had the ability to kill his opponent in an instant, he could not do so. Instead, he had to constantly squeeze himself dry so that he could improve in battle.
Xiao Lao understood this. In the arena, his figure flashed and he kept swinging the sword in his hand, clashing with the criminal.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
The criminal naturally guessed Xiao Lao's thoughts and treated himself as a stepping stone.
He wasn't a good person to begin with, and now that he was treated like this by Xiao Lao, the murderous intent in the criminal's eyes intensified.
He clearly had a killer move, but he didn't use it. It felt like he was being mocked. The prisoner couldn't take it anymore.
Dense spiritual energy continuously gathered on his fists. Furthermore, a terrifying killing intent instantly spread out.
He was going to use his killer move. Xiao Lao did not let his guard down.
Although Xiao Lao didn't seem to be serious usually, Xiao Chen had a saying that Xiao Lao had always kept in mind since he was young.
"Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. No matter who your opponent is, you can't be careless."
This was the principle that Xiao Chen had taught Xiao Lao, and Xiao Lao had also kept it in mind.
From then on, as long as he was in a battle, no matter who his opponent was or how strong they were, Xiao Lao would never let his guard down.
After all, who knew if his opponent had any trump cards that they hadn't used yet? In the world of martial arts, it was not strange for the weak to defeat the strong.
Perhaps there were treasures or tricks, but no matter what the reason was, as long as you were careless, you would definitely pay the price.
He suddenly threw a punch at Xiao Lao. Seeing this, Xiao Lao did not dodge. Instead, he slashed with his sword with all his might.
The two collided fiercely, and a terrifying force instantly spread throughout the entire arena. Fortunately, there was the protection of the array, so the impact did not spread to the surroundings.
After a head-on collision, Xiao Lao clearly had the upper hand. Seeing this, Lin Xue was naturally very happy.
It seemed that the Sword Maniac was right. Xiao Lao was stronger than this prisoner.
However, under everyone's gaze, this prisoner knew that he was no match for Xiao Lao, but he still forced himself to fight. If this continued, his entire arm would probably be cut off by Xiao Lao.
"Is this guy trying to die together with Xiao Lao?"
"That's impossible. His strength is obviously not as strong as Xiao Lao. There's no way he can die together with Xiao Lao."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao, Jian Yi, and the others started discussing curiously. This prisoner's choice was really strange.
Under the circumstances where he knew that he was no match for Xiao Lao, he shouldn't have fought like this. Moreover, he could have dodged, but he chose not to.
Just as everyone expected, this prisoner's arm was cut off by Xiao Lao in the end.
There was already a difference in strength, and now that he had lost an arm, there was almost no chance of any accidents happening in this battle.
Xiao Lao was sure to win.
However, at this moment, this prisoner did something that no one expected.
They saw that he did not care about his broken arm at all. Instead, he used his other hand to grab Xiao Lao's neck when Xiao Lao let down his guard.
If this attack hit, even if Xiao Lao did not die, he would definitely be severely injured.
"He's bait."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao suddenly stood up. She did not expect that everything that happened before was actually a self-directed act by this prisoner.
He knew that he was no match for Xiao Lao, so he did not hesitate to use his arm as bait in exchange for Xiao Lao's moment of carelessness.
This was a gamble, and it was a gamble with no turning back. If this attack did not kill Xiao Lao, then the one who would die would be him.
However, such a crazy move indeed made everyone's hearts jump to their throats.
Even Xiao Lao's back was drenched in cold sweat. However, his body's reaction was very fast. Just as this prisoner was about to hit him, Xiao Lao forcefully retreated.
At the same time, the long sword in his hand was placed horizontally in front of him, barely blocking this prisoner's attack.
It was extremely thrilling. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. If he was even a second late, Xiao Lao would probably be severely injured.
Phew. Even Xiao Lao could not help but take a deep breath. He was obviously stronger than this prisoner, but in the end, he still ended up in such a dangerous situation.
This was something that Xiao Lao did not expect at all. Moreover, who would have thought that someone would use his arm as a wager, all for such a fleeting opportunity?
One had to know that this was completely a desperate gamble. If it did not succeed, then the person who would die would be him.
