0 decisive battle

On this day, the audience seats in the gladiatorial arena were already crowded early, and even the VIP area, no room was empty.

"It's finally the day. Sora said from the judge's stand.

"Well, it's finally time for a decisive battle. Honya said excitedly.

Looking around, all the judges came. Even the stands, which have a judge larger than the private rooms in the VIP area, are a bit crowded.

"But then again, why do you want Jue to take advantage of this?"

"What?"

"Of these four people, only Yu went directly to the decisive battle, why?"

“······ At first, General Bing wanted Yu to fight with Nabet or Charlotte, but I heard that the Ice Nine Masters intervened in this matter, so I let Yu and Ying Ning fight. ”

"Ice Nine Greats? Why?"

"Leave it alone······ But it seems to be related to the previous demonic incident. Sora looked around and whispered in a speculative tone.

"Demon incident?!"

"Yes, I heard that, that Yu, that is, Jue. He was the one who killed nearly two thousand demons and Tiannan alone, so the Ice Nine Masters were very interested in him. ”

"What?!And this?!" Honkai was quite surprised.

"Shhhhhh I heard that the boss is also having a headache about Yu's origin. ”

"Feeling a headache?"

"Yes, I heard Her Royal Highness the princess say that Yu is a dragon clan, but this person can't be found in the dragon clan's household registration at all. ”

"That's weird, a dragon of unknown origin has destroyed so many demons and Tiannan, and it really needs to be vigilant. ”

A demon is almost at the median level of a high-level species, and even the smallest demon is a very formidable opponent. Tiannan's strength is even stronger, which is equivalent to the level of the upper position. If such a man suddenly appeared, no one would be unwarned.

"But such a strong person, why is it just blue light?" said Honkin frowned.

"I don't know ······"

At the same time—

"It's time for the decisive battle. Shani said to Ying Ning.

"Yes······ Can you fight Jue?"

"It's full of fighting spirit. Shani said with a smile.

“······ Sorry, Miss. I couldn't beat Nabet. Ying Ning said suddenly.

Shani paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, you're in the finals anyway, aren't you?"

"But Miss, in this case, your dream will ······"

Xia Ni reached out and stopped Ying Ning's words.

"I'm very happy with this Hundred Soldiers event. ”

"Is it······" Ying Ning saw that Xia Ni was not going to talk about this topic, so she had to give up.

"Aren't you going to take a look at Jue?"

Since this time Jue and Ying Ning are battling, the preparation areas of Ying Ning and Jue are relative.

Shani hesitated, then shook his head slightly, and said, "No, this time he is your enemy." ”

This is a lie, right?

He understood the reason why Xia Ni didn't go to Jue: after Xia Ni's defeat, Jue didn't comfort Xia Ni, and didn't even look at her, the whole person seemed to have disappeared.

Although Xia Ni and Ying Ning both knew that Jue's whereabouts were strange on weekdays, Ying Ning was still angry because of Jue's attitude.

Can't you see the eldest lady's intentions? and Xia Ni, who grew up with Yingning, understood Xia Ni's intentions, and it was exactly like this, and now Yingning especially wanted to beat Jue.

And at the same time, in Jue's preparation area-

"Alas?!! Sister Shani didn't come?!" Ao Li was surprised when she came in and saw that Shani was not there.

"Why?" Jue asked nonchalantly.

“······ Then I'll cheer you on!Come on! Jue! Su Feng, come, cheer for Jue!" Ao Li did not answer Jue's question.

After receiving Ao Li's order, Su Feng suddenly pounced on Jue's body.

"Hey, hey, you're so hard of breath that I'm out of breath. Jue fell to the ground and said.

"Hee-hee, plain style, well done. ”

"Really, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with it. Jue got up from the ground.

"Well, of course!, I'm done!I'm leaving!"

"Really, I don't even look like a princess. Jue said helplessly.

Both sides began to enter.

Jue and Ying Ning walked in the opposite direction.

"I didn't expect to be able to really play against you. Ying Ning said.

"yes, I didn't expect this day to really come. Jue said lazily.

"Ever since I met the eldest lady, I've been praying for the day when I can fight you!"

"Why?"

"What an honor it is to be able to fight against someone who can compete with Tiannan!"

"Did Shani tell you?" ······"

"Yes! And I want to see if you're worthy!"

Jue didn't say anything, but looked at the sky.

In the gloomy sky, the clouds were moving slowly.

Jue stretched out his hand and took a white, slowly falling ice crystal from the air.

"It's snowing······" Jue looked at the snowflakes in his hand, it was so white and flawless.

"Indeed. Ying Ning also looked at the sky, but at this time he had already changed into a heavy armor.

"It's beautiful, but it's also sad······ What a happy but sad memory. Jue said something that he didn't understand.

"Now, the game begins!" shouted the judge.

However, the two did not act immediately.

Jue slowly pulled out the two sharp blades from his waist—the Fire Snake Fang.

The snow in the sky slowly became dense, but there was always a grain of snow that fell to the ground first.

And when this snow fell to the ground, sparks burst out in the gladiatorial arena.

Jue and Ying Ning both swung their weapons at each other, and the sound of loud metal clashing echoed in the arena.

"A powerful blow!" Jue said.

"Hehe, there are only a few people who can take the next blow······"

Jue didn't talk again, but attacked Ying Ning at a very fast speed.

Jue's blade swung rapidly, and countless cold lights flashed on Ying Ning's body, and Ying Ning's glaive knife also moved with the appearance of cold light.

The light and crisp sound of hitting is like a dynamic music, which makes people excited and makes people become enthusiastic.

Sharp blade strikes, lightning and fire.

The people on the field couldn't see Jue and Yingning's movements clearly, and knew that the next moment would come-

After a cold light, Jue then shot out a golden light, and then a flame burst out from the gap between the two of them less than half a meter.

Ying Ning was pushed away by the violent explosion, and his feet rubbed against the ground, causing more scratches in front of him.

Ying Ning looked at Jue's white-burning blades.

"Instantaneous flames? Ying Ning said with a smile.

However, the smile under his armor quickly froze—

Jue's position did not move!

What?!Jue didn't move?!If he was dozens of times heavier than me, it would be understandable, but I, who was heavier than Jue, was pushed aside by the impact, how did he do it?! Ying Ning looked at Jue with wide eyes.

Jue turned the double blade in his hand and adjusted the position of the blade.

"What a temptation. Ying Ning shouted to Jue.

"Hehe, do you see that?" Jue made a sound like "failed".

"Speaking of which, your blade was reversed····· And you're attacking my armor too, completely ignoring the soft underbelly. As she spoke, Ying Ning stroked her breastplate.

"But······ You can cut the scars on my armor with the back of the knife alone, how strong are you?!" Ying Ning's hand moved away from the scratches on the breastplate.

"Huh. That's a compliment. As he spoke, Jue began to swing his twin blades.

"Let's have a formal battle!" Ying Ning also waved the Glaive Knife.

It's snowing heavily.

"Please advise!"

With the declaration of the two, the real battle began -

Ying Ning swung the Glaive Knife and rushed towards Jue like a wheel.

The fast-turning blade set off a gust of wind, and the flying snowflakes danced with the wind. At first glance, the fast-paced snowflakes were attached to Ying Ning's Glaive like a divine dragon.

Jue also waved his twin blades and rushed towards Yingning. The double blades also brought the wind, and the snowflakes around Jue also flew with Jue's double blades, two double blades, two snowflakes. The flow of snowflakes seems to be chaotic, but it does not interfere. The two snowflakes wrapped around Jue like two pythons.

Dragons and snakes alike snaked towards their opponents.

Ying Ning first slashed horizontally and swept towards Jue. Jue raised his blades high and slammed them into Ying Ning's blade.

In the eyes of others, this is like a dragon throwing a dragon tail flick, while the two giant pythons retaliate with their fangs.

Due to the blow of the double blade, Ying Ning's blade shifted downwards and failed to give Jue some damage.

Jue saw the opportunity and stabbed Ying Ning with a blade.

However, Ying Ning flicked the blade away with her hand armor.

However, as if guessing Ying Ning's movements, Jue quickly spun around his body and hit Ying Ning's head with a heavy blow with a strong centrifugal force.

The impact was extremely strong from the helmet to Ying Ning's head, and a feeling of dizziness ruffled through Ying Ning's brain, and then, the pain caused by the blunt blow drilled into Ying Ning's bones.

Ying Ning's neck was almost bent at a right angle.

But that didn't make Ying Ning forget his mission. Ying Ning also took advantage of the situation to turn her body, picked up the glaive knife like Jue, and struck a heavy blow at Jue.

The glaive slashed at Jue with snowflakes. The snowflake was like a dragon that had been resurrected from the bondage of a python. The dragon opened its mouth and completely exposed its teeth to its enemies, as if it were about to swallow them alive.

At this time, Jue's body did not turn around, and his weakness was completely exposed in front of Ying Ning's knife.

However, Jue didn't panic - because he didn't plan to let himself just turn around in the first place.

I saw Jue like a spinning top spinning rapidly, spinning rapidly in the air. He first flicked the knife that Ying Ning came back from, and then inflicted a series of blows on Ying Ning.

Ying Ning, who was beaten several times in a row, was naturally unconvinced. He steadied himself, standing like a statue, and then struck the Goryan with Jue's blow, and then slashed to the ground. The snowflake's dragon rushed to the ground like a waterfall.

As if the Glaive had been lengthened, a huge impact swept across the ground.

Jue was directly knocked away.

Ying Ning took advantage of this gap to bring her crooked neck back.

"Very strong technique, Jue. Ying Ning's voice was full of respect from the heart.

"So what? Jue shook his wrist slightly and said.

"But even that blow just now, can't you appear in front of me as soon as you fall to the ground?" Ying Ning was a little disappointed. The moment Jue was knocked away just now, he successfully found a balance point and fell to the ground perfectly.

Ying Ning took the next step.

Do you want me to start the second round? Jue walked towards Ying Ning.

Slowly, Jue's steps became faster and faster. When he approached Yingning, it had turned into a gallop.

The battle between the dragon and the python continues.

The difference is that this time the python has changed its attack method.

The snow is only as thick as a little finger, and this is Jue's advantage.

You're heavily armored all over, and you're using the extremely heavy Glaive as a weapon, so you can't move freely! Jue swung a knife at Ying Ning.

Ying Ning naturally would not let go of this threat, and he blocked it with a knife.

However, Jue disappeared.

Like a loach, Jue quickly moved to the other side and stabbed Ying Ning in the back.

Do you move fast with the snow on the ground?!

Almost every moment, Ying Ning will be attacked by Jue. Whenever he tried to block or counterattack, Jue would suddenly disappear.

Although each attack hit the armor and did not cause much damage to Ying Ning, Jue's attacks did not stop.

What the hell did he think?! Ying Ning couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he knew that Jue was not stupid, but why did he still do the useless work of attacking the armor? He didn't understand.

The golden light circulated on Ying Ning's body, and now the divine dragon had been entangled and imprisoned by the python. The python slammed into Ying Ning's armor again and again, and some of the snowflakes dissipated, and some of the snowflakes refilled.

What a hassle!······ Let's be like the eldest lady. Ying Ning recalls Shani's tactic - just destroy it at all costs.

He swung the Glaive and slashed towards the ground.

The massive impact shattered the ground – as it should have been.

When Ying Ning found that his Glaive could no longer slash downward, he saw a figure.

Jue? He shouldn't have hit the blade because he didn't see my attack······ Why?

Just when Ying Ning was still confused, Jue began to attack.

Jue stabbed quickly with the tip of his knife, and Ying Ning had to use his hand armor to block the attack that came like a torrential rain.

Ying Ning only now realized that what was in front of her was not a python, but a poisonous snake with sharp fangs.

The tip of a knife the size of a grain of rice made Ying Ning quite tired to deal with.

The dragon, which had been imprisoned by the python, had to face the rampaging viper. Tiredness dominated Ying Ning's hand. The soreness of intense exercise, the pain of hitting the tip of the knife, and the fatigue of Ying Ning are constantly superimposing.

I can't be suppressed forever!Ying Ning exerted force on his hand and pushed the blade back with his hand armor.

I remember that you seem to have a wound on your face······

Just before Jue's blade swirled, Ying Ning punched Jue in the face.

A reddish liquid oozes from the inside of the gauze.

"Wow, this isn't light!" Sora looked at it, and his face twitched.

"It's a bit of a loss, but it's a good idea. "Honkai is making an objective assessment.

Jue threw the blade in his hand into the air at this time, and punched this Ying Ning in the face with his free hand.

"Was you stupid? Sora frowned.

The surrounding judges and even the audience all disapproved and even ridiculed Jue's actions.

"Jue. In the VIP area, Shani squeezed her hand slightly.

"Haha, Sister Shani is really here. Ao Li's voice came from Shani's side.

"Huh?"

"Is it convenient for me to sit here?" and without waiting for Xia Ni's answer, Ao Li sat down next to Xia Ni.

"Is there something wrong with Ao Li coming this time?"

"Nothing. It's just that you don't think it's too boring to watch the game alone?" said Ao Li with an innocent smile.

"Hehe, indeed. Shani softened her frown slightly.

"By the way, it's a rare opportunity, let's talk······"

Inside the venue——

Ying Ning's brain was occupied by the sound of tinnitus. Jue's fist hit Ying Ning's helmet - everyone saw that it was just that.

But only Jue and Ying Ning knew that the helmet was trembling at an extremely high frequency.

Ying Ning was so sore from the high-frequency tremor of this machine that he wanted to withdraw his hand and give Jue another blow.

Ke Jue grabbed Ying Ning's hand tightly.

Why?!Ying Ning was overwhelmed by Jue's actions.

But the next second he understood-

He saw through the gap in his helmet a cold light falling from the sky and hitting him directly in the elbow.

Blood spurted out of Ying Ning's elbow like a fountain.

Jue pulled out the blade that had just been inserted into Ying Ning's elbow and pulled away from him.

"I didn't expect it to be me who rushed blood first. Ying Ning said as she covered her elbow.

"But I bleed first. Jue pointed to his face.

"Hehe, there's nothing to be happy about. Ying Ning said with a wry smile.

Then, Ying Ning once again put on a posture.

“······ Sometimes, I have to admire the power of the vein, even such an injury can be recovered in such a short time. Jue said.

"Well, the boon bestowed by the Creator is powerful······ Aren't you going to attack?" Ying Ning saw that Jue didn't move for a long time, and was a little puzzled.

"Hey, Yingning, don't you feel cold?" Jue said suddenly.

"Cold?" Ying Ning didn't know what to say for a while.

He saw Jue take out a small bottle from his bosom, which contained an ice-crystal-colored liquid. Jue didn't say much, and threw the bottle at Yingning's feet.

The bottle shattered, and the liquid inside flowed out at once, emitting a white mist.

"What?!poisonous gas?!" Ying Ning lowered her head slightly, but the gap in her helmet didn't reach the inside of the armor so quickly.

"I'm not going to use poison gas. Jue said.

"Then I'm going to ······ What?!" Ying Ning was about to attack, when he suddenly found that he couldn't move.

Ying Ning couldn't feel the pain of a thousand cuts coming from her skin. He looked at his body with his peripheral vision—

Ice! A layer of ice was attached to Yingning's armor. The stiff ice froze Ying Ning's body.

Why?!Where did this ice come from?!······ Moham!

Ying Ning noticed the water droplets attached to her armor. He understood—

Jue's previous attack was not without purpose: Jue wanted to melt the flying snow with a blade with temperature, and before the water droplets evaporated, he used the wind to apply the water droplets to his armor, and the armor with the water would melt the next snow to form a new layer of water, and in this way, his body would be covered with water.

Since he was wearing armor, the water on the armor was imperceptible.

Finally, the water on the armor is quickly solidified by the liquid in the vial.

It was put on the table······ Ying Ning laughed at herself in her heart.

He knew that Jue was a person who could be called "cunning", but he didn't expect him to be so "insidious".

I should have been on your ······ sooner Ying Ning was sealed by ice.

"I'm sorry, but I have to take the first mission of the Hundred Soldiers again. Jue said as he slowly walked towards Yingning.

"Is the winner decided?" asked.

“······ No. Sora gave a negative answer.

Jue walked to Ying Ning's side.

"You should ······" Just as Jue was about to make a closing declaration, Jue felt a strong aura of danger.

Then, as expected, Jue was knocked away by a steel fist that shattered ice.

"Poof!" Jue barely landed on the ground and spat blood out of his mouth.

Just as he looked up, he saw—

The place where Ying Ning was standing was full of steam. Vaguely, Jue saw a person with this magma-like light all over his body.

"You're careless, Jue. Ying Ning's voice came from it.

Jue saw it clearly-

At this time, Ying Ning's body was a little larger than before, and her body, which was originally nearly two meters, stretched by nearly a head. Ying Ning's hands and face were exposed, magma-like scales growing on the backs of his hands and cheeks, and an extremely long dragon horn grew from the center of his forehead, like a rhinoceros. Ying Ning's back stretched out like bat-like wings.

"Oh, it's over. Sora said.

"To the Dragon?······ Some watched it. "I'm very interested.

In the face of the oppressive force that burst out from his body that far exceeded Nabet's blood dragonization, Jue did not retreat.

"Hehe, it seems that my hundred soldiers didn't come in vain······" The smile under the bandage became more and more excited.
