The next day.

Arena.

Under the blazing sun, the entire arena seemed to be enveloped in a layer of golden light, creating a shining stage. The arena was surrounded by a series of stands, which were already crowded with people. The stands that were usually not full were already filled with people, and almost everyone had a look of enthusiasm and excitement on their faces.

Zhang Xu frowned, and sat down in their seats with Kasa and others beside him.

Because Lulu was too short, her view was blocked by the people in front of her as soon as she sat down, so Janna very considerately held Lulu in her arms. As long as Lulu stretched her neck, she could just see the scene of the arena below.

“Draven! Draven!”

Before the person in charge of the arena on the stage could speak, the crowd in the stands suddenly burst into loud cheers.

A tall man walked out of the passage on one side of the arena. He was still wearing casual clothes, hiding his muscles under his clothes, but he was holding two huge axes in his hands. The cold light flashing on the axes was enough to make people feel palpitations.

“This guy…”

Is he the most outstanding honorable executioner in Noxus?

Sarah blinked curiously, feeling that there was nothing special about this guy.

At least from her current perspective, Draven’s strength is really nothing.

“This guy’s beard is really ugly…”

Xiweier silently complained, and this remark also attracted the approval of the crowd.

Indeed, this guy’s beard is really ugly, even to a new level of ugliness.

But the people around him didn’t care about his appearance, even though Draven rarely appeared in the arena. But as long as he appeared here and stood here, he would be the most dazzling star in the arena.

Draven really enjoyed the scene of being cheered by thousands of people. He waved at the stands around him in ecstasy, his face full of ecstasy.

He enjoyed the feeling of being admired, the feeling of being covered in glory, and even more so the feeling of executing the prisoner with a flying axe.

He was born to be here.

Draven walked around the arena as if making a show, and then walked into the aisle amid the increasingly enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

He was going to change his clothes and wait for tonight’s hunt.

Today’s host also spoke at the right time and explained today’s rules:

“Today, it’s more of an execution than a gladiatorial fight. The prisoner, Riven, was once the captain of a legion squad. She was going to be sentenced to death for desertion!”

“But the current leader of our great Noxus is merciful, so as long as Riven can pass the three levels of the trial today, her crimes will be pardoned, and Noxus will forgive her!”

“Open the door and bring in the prisoner!”

As the host’s slightly excited voice fell, another wooden fence door was slowly opened, and then a figure with heavy shackles on his hands and feet was pushed in slightly staggeringly.

A head of white hair stained with dust, a face that looked a little haggard but still pretty, and clothes that could not be called clean at all – he was surprisingly one of the protagonists of today’s arena.

Exile Blade, Riven.

Chapter 316 Riven

When Riven was pushed into the arena by the people behind her, the entire stands suddenly erupted in uproar. Countless insults and abuses were heard one after another, and some emotional people even began to throw some debris into the arena to express their dissatisfaction.

When they heard that Riven’s crime was desertion, the current situation was inevitable.

In a militaristic country, the most hated behavior by everyone in this country is desertion, let alone a deserter who holds a position like a squad leader of a legion.

This kind of desertion behavior can easily kill an entire team!

“Damn you! Are you still trying to wash away your guilt?”

“Dream on! The executioner is here, and you will die as a deserter!”

The continuous insults from the stands reached Riven’s ears. Riven didn’t feel surprised, but she felt a little dazed.

Once upon a time, she was the glory of Noxus. She also fought for Noxus, and she almost gave everything for Noxus.

But now, she is a prisoner, an abandoned child, a deserter, and a betrayer.

All the glory of the past has returned to dust, leaving only a scarred heart.

But today…she is not going to sit there and wait for death!

Riven’s eyes suddenly focused. Even though her weapon was destroyed and she was in a very bad condition, she still had to try her best to survive, even if it meant being labeled a deserter!

Once, she lost her faith and belief, chose self-exile, wandering in the devastated land of Ionia. When she finally returned to the village where her greatsword was broken, she found that her need for self-destruction had killed the most respected elder here…

But even so, Ionia still accepted her with forgiveness.

She did not want any Ionian blood to be shed because of her, so she accepted the charge of desertion, but this did not mean that she would surrender.

boom–

boom–

Accompanied by a fierce drumbeat, two strong liquidators rushed out from the passage – they were also outstanding liquidators in the empire. Although they were not as good as Draven, they were also the best among the liquidators.

The two of them are the first test that Riven has to take.

Only after she passed two levels in succession could she meet the glorious executioner whose hands were stained with blood.

Riven looked down at the chains still tied to her body, and her heart sank slightly.

They said they gave her a chance to survive by completing the triple trial, but in reality, the people here never intended to let her survive.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have failed to untie the chains on her hands.

But the more this happened, the more it stimulated her strong desire to survive!

“Tsk… that sounds nice. But in reality, the chain doesn’t even want to open for her!”

Kasa shook her head, a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

Just now, Zhang Xu had told them about Riven’s experience and story.

Kasa couldn’t help but feel sympathy for this woman who was abandoned by her own country and had to bear the crime of desertion.

“Are you just going to watch like this?”

Xindra frowned, she looked at Zhang Xu and said in a bad tone: “Such a person should not die here.”

“Look, you’re anxious again…”

Zhang Xu looked at Sindra with some amusement and shook his head slowly: “I didn’t say I wouldn’t save her… But you may have underestimated her. With an opponent of this level, she doesn’t need my help.”

…..

—-

“Kill her!”

“Let this damned deserter pay the price!”

Amid the roar of the spectators in the stands, the two experienced liquidators looked at each other and immediately split into two directions and rushed towards Riven.

They were old partners who had worked together for many years. Very few people could survive an attack from the two of them – definitely not the woman in front of them who looked extremely haggard.

What’s more, she was tied with chains.

If they can’t even get this, then there is no need for them to continue working as liquidators.

Watching the actions of the two, Riven’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she grabbed the chain tied to her wrist with both hands – the other party was holding a specially made sharp long knife in his hand, but her hands were empty, and she was even bound.

She can only use chains as weapons.

The two people are getting closer and closer…

Riven silently calculated the distance between the two men and herself in her mind, and only took action when the guy in front of her had already arrived in front of her.

She turned over very flexibly, rolling on the ground of the arena, avoiding the attack while throwing the chain on her wrist away. The chain just happened to be wrapped around the guy’s feet, tripping him to the ground.

But the attack from another person also came in an instant, and the sharp blade drew a sharp arc in the air, without any deviation, and went straight to Riven’s back.

In his mind, he could even imagine the blood splattering all over Riven’s body.

But in fact, Riven had already reacted.

As early as when the first guy fell, she pulled the chain back with all her strength, and then threw it out again. In Riven’s hand, the chain that originally bound her seemed to come alive, turning strangely in mid-air, and then accurately wrapped around his legs.

Then, Riven exerted force with both arms, and the liquidator, who was strong and even a head taller than Riven, was dragged up.

chap——

The two chains intertwined with each other, making a slight sound, and the liquidator was thrown out, just in time to knock the liquidator who had just climbed up from the ground away.

The impact of the collision caused one of the men’s long sword to slip out of his hand and fall to the ground nearby.

Seeing this, Riven’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her body made a judgment before her brain did. With a nimble roll, Riven caught the long sword in her hand.

Zheng——

A crisp slashing sound was heard, and the iron chain that originally connected Riven’s two wrists broke.

This time, Riven’s movements instantly became more flexible.

Riven breathed a sigh of relief and kicked the long sword aside – it was not that she was not used to using the long sword, she just didn’t want to harm the lives of these two guys.

“What are you doing!”

“And you call yourself a liquidator second only to the Glorious Executioner? What rubbish is this!”

“Get out of here! We want to see Draven!”

“Draven! Draven!”

The cheers for Draven rang out again from the stands. Hearing the voices coming from all directions, the faces of the two liquidators suddenly turned ugly.

“Damn it, you brought shame upon both of us…”

“Die!”

Chapter 317 Riven vs Draven

clang–

Riven swung out the chain, deflecting the man’s long sword, and took advantage of the opportunity to rush straight to the middle door and kicked him up.

As a seasoned warrior, Riven’s kick was quite powerful. She kicked the man away directly, and then took advantage of the situation and swung the chain to hit the other man’s head directly.
