When Ren Baqian saw Du Changkong and Du Changkong stepping aside, he dashed toward the lampstand without saying a word. He did not care about anything else. He knew in his heart that he was the weakest in the entire field. Even if there were ten of him, he might not be able to defeat the second weakest person from the bottom. Since that was the case, he might as well run.
At the same time, he was laughing wildly in his heart. Why don't you guys stop me? Why don't you guys stop me? Try touching me!
Ren Baqian was indeed the fastest. After running for a few dozen meters, he had completely surpassed the rest. In the distance, some people had already started to fight.
However, more people looked at the figure that ran the fastest. They were all dumbfounded. What the hell was that?
Was that even possible? Wasn't that a clear violation of the rules?
More than half of the hundred people were looking at him.
Should he stop them?
How could they stop him?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally turned their heads to look at the side of the field.
Liu Ruoyao stomped her feet and shouted, "Foul! Foul! He broke the rules! "
Even the contestants in the field had such a reaction, let alone the surrounding spectators. Such a large porcupine with a cold glint was running at the very front. Those who were slightly stronger could see it clearly and were in an uproar.
Gu Changkong didn't notice it at first, but when he noticed the movement of the person next to him and looked in the same direction, he almost choked.
There was actually such a talent in the Gu clan?
But soon, he remembered something he had heard recently. Could it be that person? Other than him, there should be no one else.
After staying in Dayao for more than ten years, he was very familiar with the temperament of the aboriginals. There shouldn't be anyone who would come up with such a bizarre method.
The empress saw that there were still a few contestants in the arena who were looking at Ren Baqian in a daze. She turned her head and glanced at Tong Zhenye. Tong Zhenye coughed with a look of hidden bitterness and his voice resounded throughout the arena.
"It's not a violation of the rules. The match will proceed as normal."
The empress nodded slightly to express her satisfaction.
However, when these words reached the ears of the crowd, it was unknown how many people understood for the first time what 'shady dealings' meant. Especially the children of the officials present, they were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood. This was definitely shady business. You can't play it like this.
Liu Ruoyao, who was still shouting "foul", was almost angered to death when she heard this.
Finally, he appeared in front of Ren Baqian with a furious look on his face.
However, Ren Baqian lowered his head and directly rammed into it.
He was still shouting, "I can't stop, someone pull me!"
The little loli behind him had a look of contempt on her face. Do you dare to act more realistically? And what are your short legs doing there? Just like a wheel.
Liu Ruoyao saw a bunch of sharp thorns flashing with a cold light heading toward her. After hearing Ren Baqian's words, she became even angrier.
However, she really didn't dare to not dodge. She didn't want to test whether these sharp thorns could pierce through her or not. She dodged in a flash. Her heart was so sullen that she wanted to vomit blood.
Previously, he was prepared to prevent him from even touching the lampstand, but now, he couldn't even stop him.
However, the other two women in Hong Xian's group stopped Xu L and Jiang Hu.
Liu Ruoyao gritted her teeth and followed behind, looking for an opportunity.
Especially when the little lolita smiled at her when she passed by. Du Changkong and the rest also had a relaxed expression on their faces. Among them, their team was the most relaxed. Many people from the other teams had already started to fight.
Even so, as the others began to accelerate, Ren Baqian began to fall from first place. After all, compared to the others, his speed was really too slow.
At the side, "Bang! Bang! " The sound of banging could be heard incessantly. Many people were punching and kicking each other while running. From time to time, someone couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying by another person's kick. There were also people who were grabbed by the arm and thrown out.
"That hedgehog, be careful!" Suddenly, someone shouted. A person drew an arc and flew in Ren Baqian's direction, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. He adjusted his body a few times in the air, but his direction didn't change. If they collided, even the best outcome would be Ren Baqian being sent flying with the soles of his feet pierced into a sieve.
He was the one who had yelled out earlier.
When the little lolita heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ren Baqian's current appearance was no different from a hedgehog, the kind that couldn't be eaten.
The aboriginals' cultivation was divided into Four-way Heaven, Kismet Heaven, Cardinal Heaven, and Longevity Heaven. The commoners could basically enter Four-way Heaven, while the people present were at Kismet Heaven. After all, it was already considered good to be able to reach Kismet Heaven at this age.
This level of strength couldn't withstand the spikes on Ren Baqian's body. As a result, even though Ren Baqian was like an ant in the eyes of the crowd, no one was willing to take the risk of being pierced into a sieve to stop him.
Even Liu Ruoyao wasn't willing.
To take the risk of being pierced into a sieve and attack Ren Baqian, should you hit him lightly or heavily? If you hit him lightly, you would suffer a huge loss, but if you hit him hard … Don't forget Ren Baqian's status.
Even Liu Ruoyao, who hated Ren Baqian so much, at most wanted to stop him and embarrass him. At most, he would only suffer a small injury.
If she were to seriously injure him, she would have to be crazy to do it. The empress wouldn't let her off.
As a result, she was on the verge of vomiting blood, but there was nothing she could do.
This was even more so for the others.
However, that person's shout was really too funny.
"Big hedgehog? Hahaha … "The little lolita laughed heartily.
Ren Baqian raised his middle finger at that person as he ran. At the same time, he was calculating in his mind. If he didn't change his speed, he would bump into that person. Should he bump into him or not?
At this moment, Du Changkong suddenly appeared in front of Ren Baqian. He stomped on the ground, soared into the sky, and threw a punch at the person in the sky.
In any case, everyone in the arena was an opponent, except for his own side.
That person wasn't afraid at all. At the same time, he threw out countless punches and collided with Du Changkong. After a few collisions, that person was punched in the chest and flew out. Du Changkong was also smashed back to the ground. Both of his feet landed on the ground and created two pits that reached his calves.
Ren Baqian was about 60 to 70 meters away from the lampstand, but the others started later than him. They were still in a daze for a while, but they had already reached the lampstand.
It was like a tractor racing against a Ferrari for 600 meters. Even if the tractor ran 300 meters first, it would still end up with the exhaust.
More than ten people rose from the ground and leaped up to the second level. Two of them exchanged kicks in mid-air. One of them crashed into the supporting pillar while the other was kicked off the stage.
However, the person who crashed into the supporting pillar was pushed off the stage by Qin Haoyong. Qin Haoyong then leaped up to the third level.
Other than those who leaped onto the stage, some people immediately turned around and blocked the way of the other teams behind them.
Ren Baqian didn't care about them. He dashed forward with his body covered in spikes and shouted, "If the gods block us, we shall destroy the gods. If the Buddhas block us, we shall destroy the Buddhas. Those who block us shall die, and those who give way shall live!"
The others raised their eyebrows and made way for him.
There was really no way to block the barbed spikes on this guy's body. However, with his speed, the outcome of the battle was decided before he could even climb halfway.
The little lolita, Tong Lan, followed closely behind Ren Baqian and dashed forward. However, the others were all blocked and fell into a chaotic battle.
At this moment, there were 30 to 40 people fighting on both sides of the lampstand. From time to time, someone would be kicked off.
The area below the lampstand was even more chaotic. Other than those on the stage, half of the remaining people were fighting on the road, and the other half were here.
"Phew!" Ren Baqian collapsed below the lampstand to catch his breath. This enhanced hedgehog suit had indeed lived up to his expectations. After safely sending him here, there shouldn't be much left for him to do. However, since he had nothing better to do, he might as well climb up. It would also look good on his face.
The little lolita didn't care about him anymore and leaped up to the second level. Before she landed on the ground, she saw another person in front of her. That person let out a cry of surprise as if he was surprised that there was such a young contestant.
His movements weren't slow at all. His right hand transformed into a broadsword and slashed down.
Tong Lan pressed on his arm with one hand, flipped her body in the air, and sent a downward kick toward the top of her opponent's head.
Her opponent only took half a step back, which was just out of Tong Lan's reach. Then, he slashed with his palm again.
Tong Lan's eyes widened. Are you bullying me because my legs aren't as long as your arms?
Her legs danced in the air like a windmill. She kicked her opponent seven times in a row, forcing him to take a few steps back. Tong Lan borrowed the force to land on the second level of the lampstand. She then leaped into the air and pounced toward her opponent. Within a few rounds, she had kicked her opponent off the stage.
Meanwhile, Ren Baqian was still climbing from the first level to the second level. After all, he was weak to begin with. Coupled with the fact that he was wearing armor, it was inconvenient for him to move. Previously, it was still fine for him to run, but now, it was troublesome for him to climb to the second level.
After all, there weren't any ladders on this lampstand. Everyone just leaped up. If it weren't for the rule that they had to climb up one level at a time, many people would be able to jump up two or three levels with a single leap.
Ren Baqian didn't have this ability. He could only climb up the supporting pillar. At the same time, he had to be careful of the spikes on his body piercing the pillar.
Liu Ruoyao watched from behind as Ren Baqian climbed up the pillar like a large hedgehog. She felt suffocated. She took off her shoe and threw it at Ren Baqian.
The shoe wasn't considered heavy, but with the strength of her hand, it smashed into Ren Baqian's back like a brick.
This attack to vent her anger had resulted in two consequences that she hadn't even thought of before.
First, the shoe was completely penetrated by the spikes on Ren Baqian's back and couldn't be removed.
Second, this force directly slammed Ren Baqian against the pillar. The spikes on his chest all pierced into the pillar, and it was as if his whole body was nailed to the pillar.
Ren Baqian felt something hit his back, and his whole body was directly pressed against the pillar. He could even hear the sound of the spikes on his body piercing into the pillar.
"What the f * ck!" Ren Baqian's eyes widened! He used all his strength to push the pillar, but the spikes, which were supposed to be used as a deterrent, were now hooked onto the fibers of the pillar and couldn't be pulled out.
Many spectators in the distance saw this scene and immediately burst into laughter.
Many people immediately gloated and laughed out loud.
The corner of the empress's eyes twitched again. Not only her, but Shi Qing, Kou Zhehai, Tong Zhenye, and Qin Chuan were also twitching.
At present, the fastest person had already reached the fourth level. However, a few people were fighting and blocking each other, and no one could get away from the fifth level.
Originally, everyone was looking at the few people at the top, but they didn't expect such a scene to happen below.
That hedgehog was actually slammed against the pillar by a shoe that flew out from the crowd.
This happened too suddenly and was too unexpected. For a moment, everyone didn't know whether to laugh or spit out their mouths.
Ren Baqian was hung on the pillar for a long time. He gritted his teeth and spent a lot of effort to pull the spikes off his body.
The effect of Liu Ruoyao's flying shoe was somewhat beyond her expectations. Subsequently, she felt a surge of pleasure in her heart. At the same time, her eyes lit up. While fighting with the others, she paid attention to Ren Baqian and was ready to throw the other shoe at him at any time.
At this moment, she saw Ren Baqian's body moving as if he had pulled himself out, so she was ready to throw the other shoe at him.
In the end, before she could move, another shoe flew out from the crowd and hung on Ren Baqian's back, slamming him against the pillar again …
"F * ck!" Ren Baqian was extremely furious as he hung on the pillar. Which bastard hit him?
This time, the people below were no longer in the mood to fight, and their movements also slowed down as if they were moving in slow motion. Each and every one of them looked at the big hedgehog on the pillar.
This guy was really too hateful.
He had broken the tradition of the lantern-grabbing contest that had lasted for so many years.
Among the group of unarmed aboriginal youths, there was such a strange person, a big hedgehog with a cold glint all over its body. Yet, he was recognized. How could this make the others feel at ease?
