Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2162 - 2151: Battle of Life and Death

Hearing the unified and resolute shouts of the villagers, some mercenaries who had agreed to fight began to regret their decision.But thinking about how many people were on their side, those hesitant mercenaries became resolute again.

"Since it's like this..."

Rebecca took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I—Rebecca. Cecina, daughter of the Sisina Family Marquis, will serve as the witness for this life-and-death duel. If Tuck's side wins, they will have dominion over the village. If Mr. Ning's side wins..."

Rebecca paused in her speech, continuing, "No one else may retaliate, or it will be seen as a challenge to the Sisina Family."

Ning Fan sneered inwardly, "They would need the chance to retaliate first."

The location for the life-and-death duel was right ahead on the beach.

"Kid, it won't be long before these peasants join you in Hell."

With those words, the giant iron-tower man's already burly body expanded once more,

the muscles throughout his body took on a rock-like angularity, gleaming with a metallic dark luster.

"Go to hell."

Seeing Ning Fan standing there dumbfounded, the transformed giant man roared fiercely and charged over like a black streak.

His fist was the size of a clay pot, seemingly capable of shaking the air, countless streams of air whistling over its surface.

"Where is he?"

As Ning Fan suddenly vanished, the tower-like giant was puzzled, but then he felt a huge pain in his chest and his vision went black.

Seeing this scene, the mercenaries seemed as if petrified, yet their savage expressions still mingled with a sense of brutal delight.

With a thud, the sound of the giant man falling to the ground echoed like a thunderbolt in everyone's minds.

"This was a Sixth Rank Elemental Warrior, and he just died like that."

Rebecca's mouth hung open in surprise, looking with disbelief at the fallen body.

A fist-sized hole was opened in the chest of the giant's corpse.

The skin around the hole showed webs of cracks.

Fifth Rank is the watershed for warriors, as taking that step brings a qualitative leap in strength.

Upon reaching the Sixth Rank, Battle Aura can resonate with magic, allowing warriors to use magical powers and thus becoming known as Elemental Warriors or Mage Killers.

Sixth Rank warriors can possess elemental defense, able to resist attacks from a mage.

Take the giant who'd fallen for instance; the metallic sheen on his body was due to Earth Magic enhancing his exterior, turning his skin as tough as rock.

A warrior who's naturally strong, once bolstered by magical power, becomes even more unbreakable.

Yet who could have imagined that such a sturdy body would be broken with just one punch?

Even though Rebecca believed Ning Fan wouldn't lose, she couldn't help but be shocked by this swift and direct kill.

Wilton's face was grim; just one punch of such force would break both him and his Magic Shield.

Seeing this outcome, everyone present drew a sharp breath.

"Is this even human? One punch, instantly killing an Elemental Warrior—perhaps even an Eighth Rank Sky Warrior couldn't do that."

"He can't possibly be a Sky Warrior."

"Then why is this happening? Is he perhaps a dragon in human form?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan glanced incredulously at the speaker, inwardly chuckling, "There is indeed a dragon—but you've guessed wrong."

The strongest Sixth Rank warrior hadn't lasted even one round, delivering a huge blow to the mercenaries present.

Some clever ones were already shouting, "I surrender, I am willing to pay a ransom."

Responses were immediate and continuous.

They were fundamentally a motley crew, not on the same side.

Seeing the Elemental Warrior leading, they were simply hoping to profit from the chaos.

Now, this overwhelmingly one-sided outcome had scared them out of their wits.

The two squads that hadn't joined the fight were now endlessly thankful.

The scar-faced man's mouth was agape, and hadn't closed yet.

If his sister hadn't stopped him, he would likely have shared the same fate.

Only Du Wei's group of four were left trembling with pale faces.

The whole matter was orchestrated by them, including inciting conflict between mercenaries and villagers.

"Since it's the Life and Death Platform, life and death must be decided."

As those words fell, Ning Fan leapt into the group like a fierce tiger into a flock of sheep.

With each punch, none were left alive.

In the blink of an eye, two more perished under Ning Fan's fists.

Some people quickly fled toward Rebecca, kneeling and knocking their heads, "Miss, for the sake of us risking lives to escort you, please save us."

"This..."

Rebecca felt troubled.

When they encountered the Sixth Rank Sea Beast, if it weren't for the mercenaries risking their lives to protect the ship, they'd have already been shipwrecked and lost.

Moreover, these mercenaries participated in this life-and-death duel purely due to Ning Fan's provocation, without any deep grudges of their own.

Considering this, Rebecca softly said, "Mr. Ning, what do you think..."

Ning Fan replied expressionlessly, "Miss, do you wish to spare them?"

"I..."

Seeing the deep and cold pool-like black eyes, Rebecca felt a chill and then shook her head coldly.

On one hand was a ragtag band of mercenaries, on the other was the unfathomable Ning Fan.

Choosing between the two wasn't something Rebecca would hesitate over, "A duel is sacred and inviolable, as a witness, I cannot intervene."

Rebecca's words utterly extinguished any hope for the mercenaries.

The slaughter continued; ghostly speed and unstoppable fists.

Turning this life-and-death duel of many against few into a unilateral massacre.

The mercenaries begging for mercy, knowing they were doomed, resorted to swearing,

"You damn whore, we shed blood and sweat for you in vain..."

Before finishing the sentence,

Rebecca's nearby Black Armored Guard acted, eight streaks of black sword light flashed, cutting these men into shreds.

Ignoring the bloody and horrific scene at her feet, Rebecca looked at the battlefield without changing her expression.

On the battlefield now, fewer than ten mercenaries were still alive.

The others hadn't even had the chance to act before meeting the Netherworld.

"I may be dead, but I'll drag you down with me."

The speaker swallowed a brown stone, sneering while charging at Ning Fan.

As he ran, his figure began to expand rapidly, the Battle Aura swelling like boiling water.

"Trying to take me down with you."

Ning Fan disdainfully threw a punch, and the airborne fist strength immediately blew the man up.

With a loud bang like an earthquake, the ground beneath began to shake violently.

The man was instantly blown to pieces, the explosion's powerful force also pulverised the two unfortunate souls closest to him.

At the explosion's instant, Wilton waved his hand gently holding the magic wand,

A beam of azure light enveloped Rebecca and her group, shielding them from the blood mist and flying flesh injuries.

"Since you have the courage to swallow the Demon Core, why don't you dare fight to the death."
