C583 The Bet of the Five Families(1)
Helian Huang looked at the bloody hole in his chest in disbelief. He could feel his consciousness getting lost. A genius of his generation had fallen here just like that.
He couldn't accept it. If he hadn't been angered by Ling Feng, if he wasn't in a hurry to show off, if he had crushed the jade slip the moment he sensed danger, how could he have such an ending?
He had finally lost to his own conceit, or rather, his intelligence.
"Kill my grandson, you little bastard! Hand over your life!"
The white-browed Great Elder flew into a rage. His heart was bleeding. This was his own grandson, the future hope of the Helian family. How could he accept that he had died in Ling Feng's hands?
Even though his cultivation base had already reached the sky, he still couldn't bear it.
Ling Feng felt a powerful Qi enveloping him in an instant, causing him to feel suffocated for a moment. However, he quickly recovered. Although his opponent was strong, it wasn't to the extent where he couldn't resist it.
"This Qi... Could it be that Helian Ta has already reached the False God Stage?"
"I never thought that Helian Huang has already reached this level. Out of the ten great families, four of them have reached the False God Stage. Adding Helian Huang, there are already five families. What should we do with the other five families?"
All of a sudden, the ten great families in the stands had different thoughts.
They were no longer thinking about the matter of Ling Feng killing the genius of Helian family. If Helian Ta had reached the False God Stage... Even without Helian Yuan, Helian Ta would still be able to support the prosperity of Helian family for a hundred years. He might even be able to nurture a genius like Helian Yuan within a hundred years.
Although the other four families who had False God Stage warriors were worried, they weren't too afraid.
On the contrary, the other five families had solemn expressions. Half of the families had False God Stage experts, which meant that these five families were likely to be annexed.
Previously, there were False God Stage warriors in the four families. If the other six families joined forces, they could still resist, but if more than half of them joined forces, he had almost no hope.
Although False God Stage was powerful, it wasn't impossible to defeat him.
However, one False God Stage warrior was enough to deal with a family.
The structure of the top ten families in Asura City would probably break the balance because Helian Ta had reached the False God Stage.
The five families that didn't have False God Stage quickly gathered together. They all had the same goal: they absolutely couldn't let Helian Ta kill Ling Feng.
With the hatred between Ling Feng and Helian Ta, they would definitely fight to the death. Ling Feng's talent was terrifying. Once he entered the Asura Tower, even Helian Ta wouldn't be able to pose a threat to him once he came out.
Currently, Ling Feng was isolated and helpless. If they stood out at this moment, although they would have to take a huge risk, they would still leave a way out for themselves.
How could someone who could become one of the top ten families in the Asura City be a short-sighted person?
After a short analysis, there was an absolute certainty.
"Helian Ta, I believe you should know better than us about the rules of the arena. The outcome of life and death is only in the arena. Are you going to destroy it?"
"Hmph, don't think that you can look down on the will of the Asura Sovereign just because you have reached the False God Stage!"
The five families stood out at this moment and spoke with righteous indignation. However, their hearts were pounding. If Helian Ta didn't care about them and killed Ling Feng by force, he would be finished.
Ling Feng also looked at the five families with a different expression. From the discussions around him, he could roughly tell that these five families were the other five families of the ten families.
However, why did they come out to help him?
Although Ling Feng knew that the ten major families of Asura City weren't on good terms with each other, he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
"Nalan Hee, what are you doing? Are you going to make Helian family your enemy?" Helian Ta looked at the five great families coldly, and his imposing manner became even sharper.
He had just broken through to the False God Stage a few days ago, and he had never shown it to anyone before. At this moment, this Qi moved away from Ling Feng and landed on Nalan Hee and the others. Their facial expression changed. This kind of power... They had to treat it seriously.
They even had the thought of retreating in their hearts. Why would they stand up for an outsider like Ling Feng?
However, when they thought about it, if they didn't stand out today, they were afraid that the five great families would be reduced to living under someone else's roof in the future.
This was their bet, and it was a huge bet. If they won and Ling Feng returned from Asura Tower, they would have a slim chance of survival.
People often said that there were many people who begged for wealth, but less coal in the snow. Ling Feng was in the snow, and they were the ones who gave coal to others. Such kindness would only be remembered by others.
When they thought of this, they made up their mind and gritted their teeth.
Nalan Hee, as the representative of the five families, puffed out his chest and said coldly, "Helian Ta, we are doing this to maintain the dignity of the Asura Sovereign. As members of the ten families, we are doing this for the sake of maintaining the dignity of the Asura Sovereign. You have the responsibility and obligation to do so. Could it be that your Helian family dares to look down on the Asura Sovereign?"
One had to admit that Nalan Hee was a powerful figure. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been elected as the representative by the five major families in such a short period of time. With just one sentence, he had put a huge blame on the Helian family.
If it was any other time, it would be a piece of cake for the elders of such families to kill an enemy on the fighting stage. Most families would turn a blind eye to it, but today, it was completely different.
Helian Ta's breakthrough into the False God Stage had already given them a heavy pressure.
They had no choice but to put their lives on the line and bet.
The people from the other four families looked at Ling Feng and nodded at him. They didn't make any obvious moves, and then they looked away.
They believed that with Ling Feng's intelligence, he would naturally understand the meaning of their sect.
