C985 Timely Appearance
"What should we do now … Young Master Nie still hasn't returned. If he doesn't show himself, I'm afraid Lee Chun will win without a fight. " Yan Ruoxue and the others had also arrived at the arena. Seeing that Nie Zhen had yet to show himself, they too felt anxious for him.
"Xue'er, don't worry …" "He knows his limits and will be fine. Besides, Origin Opening Holy Lord is betting all of his chips on Nie Zhen, so he won't let Nie Zhen fall here..." Although Elder Xue seemed calm on the surface, deep in his heart, he was still somewhat anxious.
After all, the competition was about to start and Lee Chun was already standing on the stage. Even if Nie Zhen finally appeared, the public opinion would tilt in Lee Chun's direction, which would be the same as falling into a disadvantageous position for Nie Zhen.
"I say, host, is this Nie Zhen coming or not? If he never shows up, do you need me and so many people to wait for him to appear? " Lee Chun said unhappily to the host after a quarter-hour of waiting.
"This …" The host obviously hadn't encountered such a situation before he said to Lee Chun, "Lee Chun, don't be impatient for now. I'll report this to Holy Lord."
"Then why aren't you going?!"
Although he was still a little afraid of Holy Lord and Lee Chun, but to this host, Lee Chun did not have such a good temper.
The host hurriedly went to report this to Origin Opening Holy Lord. After all, Nie Zhen's late appearance had caused the Origin Opening Holy Land to be extremely passive, to the point where it was possible for them to lose face in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators at any time.
At this moment, Origin Opening Holy Lord had already heard from the Missions Hall Supervisor that Nie Zhen was in the midst of a headache due to going to the Mausoleum of Books to challenge the Apocalypse Ape.
The host came to see Origin Opening Holy Lord and asked him to make the decision.
Origin Opening Holy Lord was about to use his own consciousness to send a message to Nie Zhen. He wanted to ask Nie Zhen where he was, but suddenly, Origin Opening Holy Lord's brows loosened and he said to the host, "Just announce that you will wait for another fifteen minutes. If Nie Zhen still does not appear, then we will consider it his abstention and disqualify him."
"Yes sir!"
With Origin Opening Holy Lord setting down the rules, things became much easier. The host quickly came to the stage and announced, "Now, I will announce that we will wait for a quarter of an hour for Nie Zhen. If he still hasn't appeared, then he will be disqualified and Lee Chun will automatically win."
"Sigh... "It seems that even Origin Opening Holy Lord doesn't think that Nie Zhen will appear …"
"What a pity …" "I've heard that Nie Zhen is a dual apothecary and martial artist, but it seems that he has lived up to his reputation..."
"To think that the great Pill God would be afraid to fight. It seems like Nie Zhen is only so-so..."
The surrounding audience, after hearing the host's words, had silently acknowledged that Nie Zhen would not appear in the arena. Each of them was either regretting or snorting at Nie Zhen's actions.
After all, in this world, everyone revered heroism. You could not defeat others, but you could not be timid. Otherwise, no matter how high your status was, you would be looked down by others.
After the host had finished speaking, he left the arena. When Lee Chun heard the host's words, he, like the surrounding audience, thought that Nie Zhen would not appear again. He immediately let out a sneer.
"Humph... humph..." I thought Nie Zhen was amazing, but it turns out he's only so-so... "He doesn't even have the courage to show his face. No matter how much of a braggart he is, he is nothing more than mediocre!"
Since Nie Zhen wasn't here, the more he belittled Nie Zhen, the higher his reputation would be. Why not Lee Chun?
Seeing the audience giving him looks of affirmation, after a while, the proud Lee Chun shouted again, "Nie Zhen! If you're a man, then get out! No matter if I win or lose, I, Lee Chun, have no objections. Don't hide like a turtle and not dare to meet people, otherwise, wouldn't you be ridiculed by the whole world? Is there still any spirit of martial arts left?! "
"Well said, Lee Chun!"
"That's right!" Great Master Nie Zhen, hurry up and come out! "
"Come out! "Come out!"
Lee Chun's words resonated with countless people as they all shouted for Nie Zhen to appear.
Lee Chun smiled proudly as he saw his reputation had reached its peak.
Just when Lee Chun was feeling most proud of himself, a cold voice suddenly splashed onto him like a bucket of cold water!
"What Brother Lee Chun said is really beautiful! "It seems that if I don't come out and fight with you, I'm going against the spirit of the martial way!"
As his voice faded, a thick aura of slaughter condensed in the air, causing the hearts of countless people to feel stifled.
Next, a beam of crimson and black light descended from the sky!2
"Bam!"
The ray of light landed directly on the arena, and immediately, a wave of spiritual energy spread out in all directions.
Lee Chun was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He was the first to feel the destructive power contained within this spiritual energy wave!
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the ray of light. When the light faded, everyone finally saw who it was. It was Nie Zhen!
"This kid is finally back!" Old Lady Yin complained when she saw Nie Zhen.
"This guy will have to wait until the last moment before he is willing to show himself... But it's good that it appeared! " Elder Xue also laughed helplessly.
"It's Great Master Nie Zhen!" He has finally appeared! "
"Didn't I say it before? A dignified Pill God can't be so unyielding. I think Great Master Nie Zhen was delayed because something happened to him before!"
"Maybe he's even researching on some pill formulas …"
"Great Master Nie Zhen, you can do it!"
The moment Nie Zhen appeared, everyone instantly stood on Nie Zhen's side. Countless people who supported him shouted for him.
After all, Nie Zhen's reputation was very deep. As long as he appeared, those who mocked him would naturally shut their mouths. After all, he was the God of Pills, and reputation was not something that could be easily moved.
Seeing that those who were shouting for him were actually cheering for Nie Zhen, Lee Chun's face instantly turned ugly. He complained in his heart about why Nie Zhen had appeared.
"Nie Zhen, don't be complacent! Have you already won? If you want to defeat me, you must show your strength. Don't think that I am on the same level as a trash like Chu Tiankuo who was defeated by you! "
Since he couldn't stand to see Nie Zhen's complacency, Lee Chun hurriedly shouted at Nie Zhen.
Nie Zhen said lightly to Lee Chun, "Bring it on."
Seeing that Nie Zhen did not have that kind of feeling of "facing a great enemy", Lee Chun felt humiliated and shouted at Nie Zhen, "Nie Zhen! I have reached the peak of my vigor, and it is now time for me to do that. You have come here exhausted from all the work you have done, and now you are at the end of your tether. Do you think you can be my opponent? This is truly embarrassing. You should just admit defeat! "
Unexpectedly, in response to Lee Chun's words, Nie Zhen glanced at Lee Chun and said lightly, "Fight quickly. If you think this psychological tactic will work on me, then you are too naive. This will only show your weakness!"
