"Ooh ooh ooh~!"
The crowd erupted in cheers at the news that members of the Demon Clan would be participating.
It had been a long time since outsiders had been allowed to compete in the Eternal Night Cage Arena.
All eyes were fixed on the gate on one side of the arena.
The host, holding a amplification stone, hovered above the gate and continued to build anticipation:
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's rumored that this demon participant carries the bloodline of a rare and ancient demonic beast!"
"Ooh ooh ooh~!"
"Furthermore, it's said that this creature was personally raised as a pet by the Demon Lord himself!"
"Ooh ooh ooh!!!"
The crowd's excitement surged at the mention of the Demon Lord's pet.
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying stood in the stands, their faces filled with confusion.
*When did I ever raise a pet...?*
*And why would it be competing in the arena?*
Under the weight of the crowd's anticipation, the host's voice rose to a fever pitch as he roared:
"Please welcome... Meng Niu to the arena~!!"
At that name, Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying both froze.
*That name... it sounds so familiar...*
*Where have I heard it before...?*
As the announcer's voice faded, the gate slowly rose, revealing an unexpected figure stepping out.
A handsome man with an honest, somewhat simple-minded expression appeared in the arena.
It was Meng Niu, one of the three attendants Ning Yechen had brought along!
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying were both taken aback by Meng Niu's appearance.
They almost doubted their own eyes.
The crowd, seeing Meng Niu's simple demeanor, couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
*He looks so silly, not fierce at all...*
*Guess he's just the Demon Lord's pet, how boring...*
While others looked disappointed, Luo Hongye's face lit up at Meng Niu's entrance. She pointed at him and called out in her sweet voice, "Brother Niu~"
Her voice, however, was completely drowned out by the thunderous roar of the crowd.
Behind the gate, Bai Yuan and Cai Se also cheered and encouraged Meng Niu through the metal bars:
"Stupid Niu! Go for it!"
"Show some spirit! Don't let them underestimate you!"
"You can do it!"
Seeing that even Cai Se and Bai Yuan were there, Ning Yechen was even more surprised.
No wonder he hadn't seen them around since yesterday.
*I thought they'd gone off to cause trouble somewhere...*
*So they came to compete in the arena?*
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying simultaneously turned to look at Yue Qingyou, who stood quietly behind them, following along.
Meng Niu and the other two didn't seem like the type to dare participate in the Demon Realm Arena on their own.
Without a doubt, Yue Qingyou must have arranged this...
Meeting their gazes, Yue Qingyou frankly explained, "I arranged it."
"Though they are the Demon Lord's pets and are responsible for serving Madam and the little princess, their strength is simply too weak."
"This is just one step in their training to reach a level where they can properly follow the Demon Lord."
"The Eternal Night Cage Arena is a good place for training, but isn't it too dangerous for them?" Ning Yechen said helplessly to Yue Qingyou.
He didn't oppose Yue Qingyou's desire to train and improve Meng Niu and the others; he himself had the same intention.
However, the Eternal Night Cage Arena was no ordinary arena. It was the Demon Realm's most brutal arena, where even now, the death rate remained alarmingly high!
Moreover, the child was quite fond of Meng Niu and the other two... Yue Qingyou fell silent for a moment, then said calmly:
"Demon Lord, please rest assured. I will do my best to keep all three of them alive."
Ning Yechen: "..."
Luo Ruying: "..."
*Do her best...*
*And you were silent just now!*
*It feels like you never even considered what would happen if Meng Niu and the others died...*
Ning Yechen wore a speechless expression, his heart involuntarily pitying the three men.
Seeing the crowd's disappointment and the cooling atmosphere, the host quickly introduced the next opponent.
"Ahem, Meng Niu's opponent is a creature everyone knows well, and the most ferocious beast in our Demon Realm!"
"The Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe!!!"
At the host's next hysterical shout, the gate on the other side rose. A ten-zhang-tall, heavily armored beast resembling a praying mantis emerged, its arms ending in scythe-like blades that gleamed with cold light.
Currently, its arms were bound tightly with iron chains, and its protruding crimson eyes glared ferociously at Meng Niu.
The crowd's excitement surged as the Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe made its entrance.
This was a beast with a notoriously high mortality rate in the Demon Realm Arena!
Its scythe-like arms were razor-sharp, and a fully grown one could easily sever immortal-grade weapons!
Ning Yechen glanced sideways at Yue Qingyou, who remained silent behind him.
He really wanted to ask:
*Is this what you meant by "doing your best to keep them alive"?*
Meng Niu looked up at the terrifying behemoth, swallowed hard, and silently retreated to the gate.
"I... I might not be up for this..."
"What are you saying, you stupid cow?!"
"You're always bragging about how tough you are!"
"It's just a little... little bug! Let's kick its ass!"
"Don't be afraid! It looks fierce, but it's not that strong!"
"Exactly! If I were up there, I'd smash it to death with one punch!"
"You're the best! Go!"
Bai Yuan and Cai Se also gulped when they saw the ferocious Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe.
But since it wasn't their turn to fight, they continued cheering Meng Niu on.
After all, if Meng Niu lost, it would be their turn to face the Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe...
Emboldened, Meng Niu's expression darkened. He summoned the aura of his former days as the Demon King of the Demon Realm Forest and roared at the Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe:
"ROAR~!"
*Just a bug! Nothing to be afraid of!*
As soon as Meng Niu finished roaring, the iron chains on the Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe's arms all came undone.
The Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe took Meng Niu's roar as a challenge, opening its fanged mouth to let out a guttural roar at close range.
Meng Niu's fighting spirit instantly deflated.
No one had told him it could free its arms!
After breaking free, the Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe moved like a blur of wind and shadow. A flash of cold light, and two bloody, gaping wounds appeared on Meng Niu's body!
Had his physique not been so sturdy, he might have been split in two!
The pain of his wounds reignited Meng Niu's fury. With a bull's roar, he transformed into his half-demon form as the Chaos Demonic Bull. His massive body swelled instantly, and he swung his blood-stained axe with wind-like speed, making the arena floor tremble!
"Go, Bull!"
"Not eating enough? Put some power into it! Faster!"
"I bet on you to win!"
The crowd cheered wildly.
This was exactly the spectacle they craved!
Though both Meng Niu and the young Immortal-Slaying Demon Scythe were only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the spectators didn't care.
They craved the visceral clash of flesh and blood!
What fun would there be in a quick kill?
After dozens of furious swings, none of which landed on the Demon Scythe, Meng Niu's wounds multiplied. Hot air blasted from his nostrils as he materialized his demonic form once more.
A Chaos Demonic Bull dozens of meters tall erupted from the arena floor!
He wanted to crush that tiny, skittering insect under his foot!
