Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

On the Regent's arena, the bloodstains had been washed away time and time again.

When someone dies in the first scene, the people below will be shocked, thinking, "Wow, someone is actually going to die this time?"

But as more and more people died, everyone gradually became numb. Since everyone was going to die anyway, it didn't matter if a few more died. Once you were on the stage, life and death were up to fate. If you had the life of a regent, you wouldn't die!

"Is there any other expert willing to come up and offer their guidance?"

It's unclear how many rounds it's been, but the person standing on the stage right now is named Xie De. He's holding a fine iron broadsword and has already defeated two people. However, he's now covered in sweat, and his chest is heaving violently. It seems that winning two more matches is quite difficult for him.

However, Xie De knew he couldn't back down; he had to appear to have the strength to keep the others in check.

According to Cai Jing's rules for this arena match, if the defending champion is not challenged within ten breaths, they can choose to retain their current record and go to rest. Xie De wants to rest, so he must now give the impression that he still has energy to spare and cannot be easily challenged.

"General Qiao, what do you think of Xie De?"

Duan Zhengxing asked his family retainers.

"His martial arts skills are only third-rate; he relies entirely on brute force to intimidate people."

The family retainer carrying two axes was named Qiao, he replied.

"What happened to those people who went up earlier? Were any of them any strong?"

"No, they're all just brutes who rely on their strength. Your Highness, the truly powerful people in the Central Plains are no longer in the bandit world."

The family retainer, carrying a fishing rod, also spoke to his son.

"Is that so, General Yu? It seems there's no one interesting at this Regent's Meeting. Shall we leave?"

Duan Zhengxing originally came to watch the excitement, especially to see if there were any powerful figures in the Central Plains, but surprisingly there weren't.

“What the young master says makes sense. Since there’s nothing much to see, let’s…”

General Qiao was about to order a retreat when he turned around and his expression suddenly changed.

"Old Yu, something's wrong. Protect the Crown Prince."

"What's wrong, Joe?"

"I just looked back and realized that all the doors behind and beside us have been closed at some point, and there are even soldiers moving around on the city wall. Something's not right!"

General Qiao's words made General Yu's heart skip a beat. He turned his head without making a sound, quickly confirmed his companion's words, and his expression also turned very ugly.

“That’s right. This Cai Jing has ill intentions. Your Highness, we need to hide in the crowd for a while to stay as far away from danger as possible.”

"Cai Jing, are you plotting against us?"

Duan Zhengxing was somewhat incredulous upon hearing the news.

No, who gave Cai Jing the audacity?

"Your Highness, do not turn around. I see that the five Lai Kingdom Imperial Guard generals who were at the door when we came in are now patrolling behind us. It's best if we don't make any rash moves now."

Although I really want to find the safest way to survive right now, it's obviously not a good idea to look around randomly at this moment. After all, everyone else in the arena is focused on the ring, and if you guys are just looking around aimlessly, it's hard not to attract attention.

"General Qiao, General Yu, don't worry too much. As the old saying goes in the Central Plains, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Let's continue watching the arena."

Duan Zhengxing quickly adjusted his mindset and refocused on watching the game.

He always felt that Cai Jing wouldn't have killed so many people!

"No brothers willing to offer guidance? If not, I'll go and rest!"

At this moment, Xie De was still talking to the crowd below the stage, saying that ten breaths would be up soon and they could rest soon, and he relaxed.

But at that moment, a thunderous voice suddenly rang out:

"You think you can get away with this?! Let me teach you a lesson!"

Immediately, a tall figure stood up from the crowd, stepped on the shoulders of several henchmen to approach the arena, and then leaped onto the arena!

"Boom!"

However, it was obvious that this person's lightness skill was very ordinary. The sound of him landing was huge. He had a fierce face, and his big face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was holding a wide-bladed sword, as wide as a door and taller than a person!

"Who are you?"

Putting aside his martial arts skills, just his attire and appearance are intimidating! Xie De clearly felt his aura being suppressed by this person, so he immediately asked.

"I am Bao Xu, the master of the Withered Tree Mountain, known in the martial arts world as the God of Death!"

The fierce-looking man's opening remarks caused many people to whisper among themselves.

Compared to those few unknown small fry, Bao Xu is quite well-known in the bandit world.

"So he was the former chieftain of Kushu Mountain. No wonder he looked extraordinary."

"That's right, that's right, Chief Bao! Let this Xie fellow open his eyes!"

……

Is this Bao Xu very famous?

Although unstable factors have been discovered, the situation is still safe at present, so it is difficult for Duan Zhengxing to muster a sense of crisis. Therefore, when he saw Bao Xu take the stage, he actually started questioning the people on his left and right about Bao Xu's background.

"You don't know Bao Xu? This guy is quite the legendary outlaw. Want to know more? Five taels of silver and I'll tell you."

Sure enough, among the crowd watching below the stage, there were definitely some knowledgeable people, and one of them immediately started showing off to Duan Zhengxing.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Duan Zhengxing rolled his eyes at the man, then turned to look at another passerby who looked eager to try:

"I want to know everything about him for one tael of silver."

"No problem! Pay first!"

A passerby reached out his hand to Duan Zhengxing, and Duan Zhengxing kept his word, taking out a tael of silver from his pocket and placing it in the man's hand.

The passerby kept his word and, after receiving the money, immediately began explaining Bao Xu to Duan Zhengxing:

"A face like the bottom of a pot, eyes bulging and wolf lips exposed; murder and arson with a broadsword, Bao Xu was originally a jinx."

"Young master, Bao Xu has his own eulogy in the bandit world. Don't you think he's formidable? This guy's greatest love in life is killing. Regardless of age or gender, once he falls under his Death Sword, there is only one way out: death!"

"Kushu Mountain wasn't originally called that. I heard that it was renamed Kushu Mountain because Bao Xu killed too many people, and the mountain was filled with yin energy, causing the trees to wither."

Duan Zhengxing listened with great interest. Sure enough, the information he had bought with his money was both pleasant to hear and useful!

However, he also had his own questions:

"Then why wasn't Bao Xu a subordinate of one of the Four Heroes of the Green Forest?"

“Young master, that’s a good question, you’ve hit the nail on the head.”

A passerby remarked that this young man was knowledgeable about the ways of the underworld, and since he understood the ways of the underworld, he should give him a proper explanation.

"Among the four heroes of the Green Forest back then, Liangshan didn't want him because he indiscriminately killed innocent people; Fang La didn't want him either because he didn't believe in the Ming Cult; Tian Hu did try to recruit him, but he refused; as for Wang Qing... I don't know much about him."

"General Qiao, so it seems that Bao Xu is quite good?"

Duan Zhengxing's eyes finally lit up with excitement; finally, there was something worth watching.

"His martial arts skills are second-rate, but this sword... what a cursed sword!"

General Qiao was talking about Bao Xu, but suddenly he started praising the thick, heavy greatsword in Bao Xu's hand! General Yu, on the other hand, also raved about the sword.

“That’s right, this sword is excellent! It’s like a shield! Your Highness, when we seize this sword, you can use it for protection…”
