It was the tenth fight and everyone's attention was focused on the platform.
In order to attract more people to watch the fight, the Prison Battle Arena declared to delay the tenth fight roughly until two hours later than originally planned.
Soon, Darren's opponent came out to the stage.
A figure walked out of a black iron door with an iron chain in his hand. On the other end of the chain was a young boy with long black hair.
Seeing the young boy, Darren felt a great sense of familiarity with him.
He thought about it for a while then shouted out loud, "It's Bruce!"
"Shit! Come on out quicker!"
At that moment, Bruce was shackled with a black iron chain around his neck and was dragged by another young man like he was his dog. That man kept kicking him as if Bruce was his disobedient pet.
"What's going on? Why are they treating Bruce like that? Why won't he stand up for himself?"
Seeing what was happening, Darren felt intense anger surging through him.
That man dragged Bruce further to the fighting arena.
"Behave yourself well and make some money for me! If you lose, I will make you suffer a lot! Don't disappoint me, you bastard!"
The young man kept speaking arrogantly as he also lashed Bruce with the whip in his hand. Then all of a sudden, a sword was waved and the whip was cut in half.
"Stop doing that right now! If you continue to beat him like that, I will have no other choice but to kill you!" Darren exclaimed with an extremely cold voice.
After his fight with Bruce the other day, Darren knew that Bruce had been hurt badly and that he was in no condition to fight. Judging by the attitude of the chief of the Wei Clan towards Bruce, Darren knew that Bruce would be maltreated even more harshly after that. But he never expected that Bruce would be sent to the Prison Battle Arena to make money for others.
Now Darren just realized that the genius who won nine battles in a row yesterday was actually Bruce. Among all the cultivators under the Wonder Realm, only Bruce had such distinct strength.
Darren also was clear about one thing. He won Bruce last time because his own pure demonic internal force could weaken Bruce's strength and Bruce was frightened by his demonizing aura at that time. Darren himself would stand no chance in defeating Bruce had it not been for those reasons.
"Are you trying to act and be a kind person? In a few minutes, this guy right here will kill you mercilessly. Ha ha!" The young man laughed loudly and arrogantly. He was only at the second or third stage of the Mysterious Realm.
He unshackled the iron chain around Bruce's neck. Then he took out an iron needle and roughly pierced it into Bruce's back.
"Do not even think about escaping if you don't want to suffer from great pains," the young man said with a cruel expression on his face.
Darren noticed that Bruce's eyes under his messy hair had a gaze of pain and despair.
"Bruce, are you alright?" Darren had no intention of fighting Bruce. He walked over to help him stand up.
"Roar!"
A cruel expression appeared on Bruce's face and one of his hands tried to reach out for Darren.
Darren stepped back in surprise.
