Upon hearing this voice, a furious expression appeared on Lucius’s face.
He raised his head and saw Emerson.
“What a sneaky guy, you actually attacked me from behind!”
Lucius gritted his teeth and was about to get up, but the intense pain from his body made him stagger and fall to the ground again.
Only then did he experience Emerson’s strength.
He clearly had a defensive-type tier 8 soul weapon on him, but who knew that it would be completely useless against Emerson’s attack. Lucius’ defensive soul weapon was like a piece of paper.
At that moment, even Lucius had some doubts about whether Emerson had obtained his strength by taking drugs, as he had guessed.
It was impossible for him to become this strong by just consuming drugs.
How could they allow the drugs to appear on the black market?
Emerson’s face was very cold. He did not even bother to say a word. He walked to Lucius and stretched out his hand.
Lucius was shocked. He thought that Emerson was going to make a move on him, so he quickly shouted, “I’m not ready! You can’t…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw Emerson ignore him and just took the package containing the meat from his waist.
Emerson even opened the package in front of him, took out a piece of meat with fire elements and ate it.
Lucius was stunned for a moment. He did not know what Emerson was going to do.
Emerson closed his eyes and felt the changes brought about by the fusion of the power in the meat.
[Stone-burning Turtle fusion. Physical Gene: +2.]
[Stone-burning Turtle fusion. Fire Elemental Fragments: +1.]
[Acquired 10 Fire Elemental Fragments. Acquired a random skill – Elementary Flame Control!]
Due to the increase in Emerson’s strength, eating the meat of low-level mutated creatures would not increase his attributes by much.
It was the same even for species that he had not fused with before. The greatest thing that Emerson could obtain from these creatures was not their attributes, but their creature souls and soul pills.
Unfortunately, the meat only gave him a Fire Elemental Fragment.
However, it was enough.
Following that, Emerson glanced at the heavily injured Lucius, then raised his leg and stomped heavily on his head!
His speed was far faster than Lucius’s reaction. He did not even have the time to dodge before his head was stomped flat by Emerson.
Blood splattered in all directions. The audience closest to the platform were more or less stained by it.
The smell of blood gradually spread.
However, at that moment, no one dared to scold Emerson.
Everyone was shocked by his swift and decisive actions.
Even before they could figure out who the murderer was, Lucius was already dead.
At that moment, a guard who was maintaining order came over and pointed at Emerson on the stage and shouted.
“Who are you? How dare you kill someone in public!”
“Oh, I’m the person he’s looking for. This is the Life And Death Arena. Killing someone up here isn’t against the law, right?” Emerson said calmly.
If Lucius did not stand on the Life And Death Arena, Emerson really did not have any good methods to kill Lucius without the others knowing.
He did not expect that Lucius would come knocking on his door.
Hearing Emerson announce his identity, the surrounding spectators could not help but be stunned.
“He’s Emerson Cole? The person who became an all-rounded genetic warrior through drugs?”
“Interesting. He killed Lucius in an instant. Is that drug really that powerful?”
“I’m actually very curious. After killing Viscount Rory’s friend, will he still be able to live past tomorrow?”
“Do you think he’s stronger than Viscount Rory?”
“How is that possible? Viscount Rory is already a tier 5 genetic warrior. He was almost able to advance to tier 4. Viscount Rory didn’t have a lot of opponents in Iron City, not to mention a nobody that appeared out of nowhere.”
Suddenly, the crowd was separated by the guards. A young man dressed luxuriously jogged over under the escort of the crowd.
When he saw Lucius, he could not help but be enraged.
“Who did this?”
He swept his gaze around before finally landing on Emerson on the stage. “You did this?”
Unexpectedly, Emerson completely ignored him. He carried the meat and walked to the side of the arena, as if he was about to leave.
Emerson’s arrogant attitude made the young man extremely furious.
It had been a very, very long time, and no one had dared to ignore him like that.
A spectator quickly ran up from the side and whispered a few words into the young man’s ear, but was pushed away by him.
“I don’t care if he’s an all-rounded genetic warrior or not, whether he has taken drugs or not. If he dares to look down on the Rory family, then I’ll punish him!”
Viscount Rory ran up the Life And Death Arena, throwing a simple and direct punch at Emerson.
With his strength as a tier 5 genetic warrior, if Emerson was hit by his punch, he would die without a doubt even if he did not use his full strength!
However, the moment Viscount Rory’s fist landed on Emerson’s body, he felt as though his hit the air. He did not feel any impact at all.
In the next moment, Emerson’s figure suddenly appeared behind him. His palm carried a scorching light as it struck Viscount Rory’s body.
Boom!
At the same time, a violent explosion sounded. The dazzling light made everyone present unable to open their eyes.
When the light faded and everything could be seen clearly, only Viscount Rory was left on the stage.
His body was covered with burn marks, and his clothes were only left with the soul weapon that protected him. He looked extremely pathetic.
“Shameless scoundrel! Come out now!”
“Emerson Cole!”
“This is Iron City. You can’t escape!”
Viscount Rory shouted angrily on the platform. He was frustrated. He had never been so angry before.
No one dared to humiliate him like this in Iron City. It had never happened in the past 25 years!
He walked to the edge of the arena with a cold expression, pointed at his guards and shouted, “I’ll give you 5 hours to search for Emerson Cole. Find him and kill him!”
“Wait a minute.”
Suddenly, someone interrupted him.
Viscount Rory frowned and looked over. It was a man who looked like a servant, and he seemed to be holding a token of the Count.
“You dare to stop me?”
The man was just a mere attendant. Rory did not care about him at all.
The attendant braced himself and said, “Viscount Rory, the Count has an order to bring Emerson Cole back to the Count’s mansion. Please take back the order just now.”
“So?”
Viscount Rory looked at him coldly. “I won’t let a trash like you stop me.”
The attendant was stunned, but he still endured the pressure and said, “This is the Count’s intention. Please consider it carefully, Viscount Rory.”
“Hmph!”
Viscount Rory snorted coldly as he did not dare to oppose the Count’s order. He stood on the platform and shouted.
“Everyone, listen up. Today, I, Rory Queen, challenge Emerson Cole.”
“I won’t bully him either. We’ll have another match on the Life And Death Arena a month later.”
“Grandpa Elrond will be our witness. You’re not allowed to admit defeat, nor are you allowed to escape. Otherwise, prepare to face the endless pursuit of the Rory Family!”
