Chapter 426 Seven Warriors
After the international conference agreed to send athletes to participate in the interstellar martial arts tournament, it promptly informed the alien alliance. The very next day, the alien alliance sent representatives to the international conference venue, met with representatives from various countries attending the conference, and held lengthy talks, finalizing many details of the martial arts tournament.
The venue for this martial arts tournament is located in a country in central Africa, a place that underwent extensive modifications after being occupied by aliens. Furthermore, due to their reverence for force, they constructed a large arena that has been repeatedly reinforced.
To ensure fairness as much as possible, the referees for this interstellar martial arts tournament will be from the Interstellar Alliance, and the proceedings will be broadcast live to all alien forces and humans. Furthermore, to reassure Earth's soldiers and spectators, the alien alliance will withdraw its local troops, leaving only essential personnel.
At the meeting, representatives from various Earth nations inquired about the planet-destroying cannon from the alien coalition representatives, but the aliens avoided answering, only stating that since Earthlings had already agreed to the martial arts tournament, there was no longer any need for them to use the planet-destroying cannon.
In the following days, the seven participants of the martial arts tournament gradually gathered in Watson, Country A. Accompanying Li Chenglong were Yun Lan, Li Xue, Han Xiaoling, Zhao Liying, Cecily, and Erica, among others. Meanwhile, Commander Chen Guoqiang also stated that he would send a representative to watch this martial arts tournament, which was crucial to the survival of humanity on Earth.
When Li Chenglong and his group arrived, the contestants from other countries were already there. Syndra and Li Chenglong had some acquaintance; their European Dark Alliance and Dawn City had later engaged in several trade transactions. The vampire queen was slightly surprised to see Li Chenglong surrounded by a multitude of beautiful women. If Li Chenglong was lecherous, then Syndra was the most beautiful woman in the vampire race for thousands of years, yet he showed her no lustful gaze. Conversely, if he wasn't lecherous, then why was he surrounded by so many beautiful women?
Accompanied by Dukes Helen and Margaret, Syndra arrived at Li Chenglong's place. Dressed in magnificent attire, and as a vampire queen, she appeared to onlookers as a proud and beautiful European noblewoman. She smiled and said, "Lord Li, it's been a long time. I didn't get to properly entertain you last time. I was saying that if our meeting place were in Europe, I could represent the Dark Alliance to properly entertain you."
As she spoke, she slowly extended her right hand, offering the back of her hand to Li Chenglong. If a gentleman were present, he would surely understand the meaning behind this gesture. Yun Lan, standing nearby, exhaled deeply, grasped Syndra's right hand, and said with a smile, "I've long heard that the Vampire Queen, as one of the oldest and strongest warriors, is not only incredibly powerful but also exceptionally beautiful. Seeing her today, I find her even more beautiful than others have described. I am Yun Lan from Dawn City, and also Li Chenglong's wife. Please take good care of me."
Syndra paused for a couple of seconds before reacting, then smiled and said, "Okay, we'll see." After Li Chenglong and the others all came out, Zhao Wuji, Nangong Yanran, Marshal Qinglong, Marshal Baihu, Protector Qian, and others also came down. Li Chenglong introduced the group from the New Human Empire to Syndra and the others, and the two sides became acquainted.
Li Chenglong and Zhao Wuji's two small teams met yesterday. Li Chenglong suggested they team up and travel together on the X2 passenger spaceship to Country A, to which Zhao Wuji readily agreed. Currently, Dawn City has the capability to manufacture X2 passenger spaceships specifically for carrying passengers and X2 cargo spaceships with built-in storage space. These two types of spaceships are welcomed by various bases in China; even Zhao Wuji has ordered three X2 passenger spaceships and ten X2 cargo spaceships from Dawn City.
The three groups were still chatting when they heard a woman's cheerful voice from not far away: "Oh, Li, you're finally here!" Then they saw Fiona, the daughter of Wilson, the leader of the European Human Alliance, rush over and throw herself into Li Chenglong's arms, kissing him on the cheek. Behind her were her best friend Fiona, and Henry and others from the Twelve Knights of Europe.
Yunlan let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Miss Fiona, it's been a long time." As soon as she finished speaking, Fiona hugged her tightly. "Miss Yunlan, it's been a long time. I've missed you. I was so happy to hear that you were here this time." Yunlan, who was a little angry, calmed down when she heard this and introduced the people from Dawn City and the New Human Empire to her.
Sophia and Henry, along with the others, came over and greeted Li Chenglong and his group. Sophia was no stranger to them; Henry had come to Dawn City with them once before, so the two were acquainted. Just as everyone was exchanging pleasantries, a discordant voice rang out: "Heh heh heh, so many beautiful women, Mr. Smith."
The women looked displeasedly into the distance and saw a short, sleazy-looking man bowing and scraping before a tall man, appearing extremely subservient. Fiona whispered to the women in Chinese, "That short man is the level 13 samurai from Country R, named Yamamoto Shiro, and the tall man next to him is the contestant sent by Country A this time, a level 13 five-elemental ability user named Smith."
Yunlan is quite tall, standing at 175 centimeters. She's currently pregnant, and for ease of combat, she wears shoes with a slight heel, but even then, she's considered quite tall for a Chinese woman. Seeing the lewd-looking Japanese man staring at her with such a lewd gaze, and then commenting on things with Smith beside him, ignited her pent-up anger.
However, it was Zhao Wuji who spoke first, saying in fluent English, "You little dwarf, what right do you have to criticize us Chinese women? Do you want to die?" People are often like that; the more they lack something, the more sensitive they become to it. Hearing Zhao Wuji say this, Yamamoto Shiro flew into a rage and rattled off a string of words.
Nangong Yanran translated, "This Japanese man says that beautiful women like us are only for the strong. Today he's issuing a challenge: if he defeats any of the Chinese men, then all of us women will belong to him." Hearing Yamamoto Shiro's words, the women immediately became enraged. Zhao Liying drew her Shadow Twin Blades and angrily declared, "Let me teach him a lesson!"
Li Chenglong waved his hand to stop them, and said with a smile to the crowd, "Since this clown wants to challenge us Chinese men, then what's the point of having us men if you women are the ones fighting? Commander Zhao Wuji, let me do it this time." Zhao Wuji glanced at the short Japanese man who was still shouting, and showed a hint of pity, then said, "Alright, then please let City Lord Li show us your skills. Everyone, please spread out a bit."
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving an open space in the middle. Even Andrei from Country E, who hadn't paid much attention to this place, walked over with interest.
Yamamoto Shiro took out a samurai sword: "This is a treasured sword passed down through generations of our family. Eighty years ago, my great-grandfather used this sword to cut off the head of one of your Chinese people. To this day, it has not drunk the blood of one of your Chinese people for decades. Today, I will use you as a blood sacrifice, and then bring those women to my bed, hahahahaha."
Li Chenglong's face also turned cold. He had initially thought this clown was merely despicable, but he hadn't expected his family to have such a past. After Nangong Yanran translated these words to Yunlan and the others, they all glared at Yamamoto Shiro with immense anger, wishing they could kill him.
Yamamoto Shiro continued his incessant chatter: "Chinese, let me show you my family's secret sword-drawing technique!" He then struck a pose, a powerful energy instantly emanating from his body. Li Chenglong stood motionless, unmoving. Everyone present stared intently at the two in the middle. A battle between level 13 fighters was a rare sight, especially with the enigmatic Li Chenglong involved.
