Chapter 555: The Back Kick

The woman's words sounded just like those of a normal female fan.

Yet Ling Zhan continued to stare coldly at her, showing not the slightest response.

The Second Demon General, however, wasn't angry. She kept gazing at Ling Zhan obsessively, as if admiring a priceless piece of art.

"So, does this Second Demon General have any background?"

In the audience, someone voiced their curiosity.

The woman stood out too much—like a gem amidst a pile of dirt compared to the other Demon Generals.

Her presence was striking.

"I knew you'd be interested in a beautiful woman..."

"As for the Second Demon General, I've heard some rumors."

"She's said to be a very promiscuous woman, but all the men who've been with her vanished without a trace. She's somewhat like the succubus from the Demon Advocate."

"Basically, a man-killer. If you encounter her, don't engage. Control your desires, or you won't even know how you died!"

"Also… she has one thing in common with the succubus—she doesn't reject anyone."

"Whether fat and ugly or tall and handsome, everyone is her prey. So don't think you're safe; she might target you. You might enjoy brief pleasure, but you'll pay with your life."

"Oh, and one more thing..."

"The succubus from the Demon Advocate supposedly built a harem in the Free Federation, filled with strong young men as her food supply..."

"So, if any of you want to 'die under the peony flower,' go ahead and give it a shot."

The audience was never short on well-informed chatterboxes.

Among them, you might not find powerful professionals,

but if you were looking for people with insider gossip, they were abundant.

Though lacking in strength, these informants had a knack for gathering credible, detailed rumors.

"Ah? In that case, forget it."

Many shook their heads.

A night of pleasure wasn't worth the cost of their lives.

At that moment,

the referee raised his hand, signaling both participants to prepare as the countdown began.

"Ling Zhan, pay attention to me..."

"Oh, if you're willing to be my man, I promise I'll never touch another. Ever."

"What do you think? Consider it. I'll agree to any of your demands."

The Second Demon General clasped her hands together, putting on a cute, pleading expression.

Yet Ling Zhan's eyes remained cold, not even bothering to speak a word to her.

His demeanor...

seemed to suggest that even one word would sully his mouth.

Sensing the deep disgust and disdain in Ling Zhan's cold stare, the Second Demon General's expression darkened instantly.

Her face twisted with fury.

He dared to despise her?

Fine!

Fine!

She'd eat him alive in front of everyone later!!

To her, men were merely food.

Literally, food.

As previously mentioned,

the side effects of inferior demonic blood were severe.

It amplified the holder's negative emotions and insatiable desires infinitely.

Only by consuming flesh could they suppress these outbreaks.

But each suppression only made the next eruption stronger.

Many failed experiments in the Demon Arrival Organization ended up as mindless killing machines.

The Second Demon General had experienced this herself.

The fact that she survived this long was a testament to how many people had been devoured to suppress her blood's side effects.

Now,

the countdown reached its final three seconds!

3!

2!

1!

Start!!

As the countdown ended,

Whoosh!!

The Second Demon General launched herself toward Ling Zhan with explosive speed, her toes barely touching the ground!

Black demonic energy enveloped her body as she moved with relentless, rapid teleportation.

The fifty-meter gap between them closed in less than half a second—she was already in front of Ling Zhan!

Assassin!

She was an assassin!

A level 98, third-tier Silvermoon Stalker!

Her speed far surpassed that of the Seventh Demon General.

Many reservists in the audience couldn't even follow her movements!

The Second Demon General appeared behind Ling Zhan, raising her dagger without hesitation to strike at his neck!

Assassin techniques and skills were always straightforward and unembellished.

Their attacks were simple and direct:

Stealth – Approach – Backstab.

If the backstab failed – retreat quickly.

If it succeeded – the fight was over.

No flashy moves, just pure assassination!

From others' perspectives, her speed was terrifying.

Unless the opponent was a captain-level combatant, they would struggle against her!

Sure enough...

The Demon Arrival Organization had brought out their top young talents to ensure their plan succeeded!

To them, creating another prodigy in a few years or decades was no big deal.

If people could read Ling Zhan's mind at this moment, they'd be shocked!

Despite being targeted by her backstab...

He seemed to be thinking about something else entirely!

It was as if he didn't take the Second Demon General seriously at all!

At that moment,

her dagger was only three millimeters from Ling Zhan's neck.

Seeing this, the Second Demon General's eyes gleamed with excitement...

But then, as expected, an unexpected event occurred!

Ling Zhan's body leaned forward suddenly at the critical moment!

Whoosh!

A simple move dodged the Second Demon General's attack!

The tense spectators, who had been sweating nervously, collectively sighed in relief!

It was happening!

As expected!

The non-specialist wanderer's trademark move: dancing on the edge of a blade!

He'd used this technique many times in the global monster tournament!

Seeing Ling Zhan's forward lean, the Second Demon General smirked. Did he think leaning forward would help?

She could still attack!

She bet he wouldn't dare to turn around mid-combat—it took too much time.

His only option was to keep moving forward!

Fine, she'd chase him down!

However,

in the next moment,

Bang!!

A loud thud echoed across the arena.

The Second Demon General froze completely!

As she slowly lowered her gaze...

She saw a brutal upward kick strike her squarely between the legs.

A back kick!!

This...
