Chapter 124: Absent-mindedness on the battlefield
On the second day, the sun rose, and the Horn Forest Arena was once again full of demons. Because the exciting first round of the competition has come to an end. The top eight that were born from the top 16 were No. 1 Oni King, No. 3 Shadow Take, No. 6 Barbara, No. 8 Yifeng, No. 9 Jiwang Maru, No. 12 Shura Girl, No. 13 Jibu, and No. 16 Phantom Night.
The much-anticipated draw for the second round of the eight-in-four matches is arranged as follows: the first game: No. 13 Gibb VS No. 16 Phantom Night The second game: No. 6 Barbara VS No. 8 Yifeng The third game: No. 9 Diwang Pill VS No. 12 Shura Girl The fourth game: No. 1 Ghost King VS No. 3 Shadow Martial Arts Conference arranged a group of young and beautiful demon world babies to belly dance. Such a warm-up program made cheers fly all over the sky, and all of a sudden made those thousands of demons and monsters fall into a state of madness.
The spotlight was focused on the center of the battlefield, the music gradually faded out, and Milan, the cat demon girl who was dressed as a fighting woman, pulled the microphone to her mouth, raised her arm and pointed to the crazy sky, and shouted in a warm and loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the second round of the final of the Demon World Martial Arts Competition is about to begin!" It is an honour for Milan to continue to host the second round of the Wushu Competition. β
Demons and monsters cheer instantly!
"Thank you, thank you!"
Milan is very popular and has almost become a little star in the demon world. Seeing that the audience was so enthusiastic and cooperative, she spun around gorgeously, waved in the direction of the audience to thank her, and then continued:
"Before the start of the competition, I would like to introduce to you the special guest commentator of the martial arts competition - Mr. Dwarf Melon! Mr. Dwarf Melon was one of the judges of the last martial arts competition, and he is a legendary master of our demon world. This time we are honored to have him to comment on our match, and the event will definitely become even more exciting! β
Lights shine on the front row of the VIP area. Phantom Night, who was waiting in the contestants' area, searched along the light, and sure enough, he saw a short monster with a mustache sitting in front of the podium, and he was surprised in his heart: Isn't this the host of the ghost laughing competition area? It's really a real person who doesn't show his face!
I don't know if it's a coincidence, Mr. Dwarf Melon just looked at Phantom Night, and the two eyes met. Mr. Dwarf seemed to smile, as if to say: Boy, come on!
Phantom Night nodded knowingly, with an indescribable warmth in his heart. After all, there aren't many people who support you in this kind of place!
Xiao Bai and Xiao D have not come back until now! Although on the other side of the audience, Amy, Takeyayoi, Yuwanghe, Remantha, Spider and the black-haired demon were cheering for themselves. But I couldn't find Xiaobai's figure, and Phantom Night felt very uncomfortable, as if she had lost the most important thing, and her heart was empty.
"Now, the first game of the second round has officially begun, and we have Jib No. 13 and Phantom Night No. 16!" The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and the host called out loudly, and then the shouts were deafening again.
I'm about to go to war, but Phantom Night is in a trance. At this time, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Before meeting Xiaobai, everything was faced by himself. What kind of things haven't you experienced? Even if you go back to the way it used to be, it's not a big deal!
What's more, in this martial arts competition, he is nine deaths. Instead of letting Xiaobai watch himself die on the battlefield, it is better to let him leave him, and never have to feel sorry for himself again.
If in case, Xiaobai came back, he would be happy...... As an apology for yesterday's incident, he will make amends to Xiaobai.
Thinking of this, he involuntarily touched his pocket. In his pocket, he hid the white jade he picked up at the beach last night. For some reason, carrying this stone heart can make him feel more at ease.
Phantom Night sighed silently, took a deep breath, and slowly walked onto the battlefield.
"Gibb wins! Gibb wins! β¦β¦β
In the face of the overwhelming crowd of Gibb supporters, on the other side of the audience, the black-skinned monster was not to be outdone, holding the banner carefully designed by Amy and waving his flag and shouting: "Invincible, all over the world!" β
"That kid's face is really bad, did he not sleep well last night?" Youwang He looked at the phantom night standing in the wind on the battlefield, and naturally said to himself: "It's really strange, the master is going to play, where are the two guys, one white and one black, going?" β
Hearing this, Amy who was standing next to her broke out in a big cold sweat on her forehead.
"It doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?" The keen Youwang He sensed the weak aura of someone beside him, and his beautiful eyes glared at that guy coldly.
"Hah, Herme...... Don't guess! I don't know each other at all with Shenlong Xiaobai, who knows what he's busy with! Amy desperately denied it.
With that panicked look, even the black demon leader Heipi wanted to despise him when he saw it, and he complained in his heart: Lord Amy, this is completely a "good thing" you did, okay?
Although she didn't admit to being killed, Amy was really worried about Phantom Night at the moment.
Just last night, Amy had been babbling in his ear about the first round, but Phantom Night looked completely sullen and absent-minded.
Phantom Night worked on the rotten stone he had picked up on the beach, carving it with a fingernail sharper than a knife that blows off his hair.
Amy asked Phantom what this rotten stone was for, and Phantom Night didn't snort and was busy until dawn! Then, after sleeping for a moment without closing his eyes, in such a tired mental state, he immediately went to the battlefield of a life-and-death duel!
That's why there is a scene observed by Youwang He, and his complexion is extremely poor!
On the battlefield, Phantom Night recalls the battle she told Amy yesterday.
In the first round of the battle, as expected by Phantom Night, Maiyi, who was fighting against the Ghost King, automatically abstained, and the Ghost King successfully advanced. And the other two subordinates of the Ghost King, Ying Wu and Yi Feng, defeated their opponents and won the victory in less than ten minutes in the opening game with overwhelming strength.
Of the five demons under Queen Narita, only Jiwang Maru and Shura Nu made it to the next level, but the two will face off in the third battle. If Phantom Night can defeat Jibu No. 13, then he will fight either Jiomaru or Shura Maiden.
Due to the huge disparity in the strength of the players in the first round, the event was originally scheduled to last for more than two days, but the result was over in less than a day.
"Xiao Yeye, when you fight against Gibb 13, you must be careful! That guy is far inferior in strength to the Earth King Pill and the Shura Girl, but the moves he uses are varied, very miscellaneous, and insidious and cunning. Don't fight for a long time after you get on the field, give him a fatal blow at the first moment, and chop him like chopping melons and vegetables, do you know the way? β
At that time, Amy, who had watched the battle for a day with good intentions, told Phantom Night bitterly about her summary.
Now, Phantom Night was standing face to face with Gibb.
Phantom Night looked at Gibb, and as Amy said, he wasn't a particularly formidable opponent.
Gibb is thin and has a long face. Face, neck, arms...... All the skin exposed to the air is crawling with criss-crossed sutures. Moreover, the color and thickness of each skin separated by sewing threads are not the same. It looks like a demon skin made from scraps of cloth.
Phantom Night felt goosebumps straighten up in her heart.
The other party has no grudge against himself, and he can't do things like tearing people's bodies apart with his claws. As long as you can knock your opponent to the ground for fifteen seconds, you can win. Then there are many ways to win quickly!
So, in Milan shouted "Let's go!" After that, Phantom Night's figure flashed and disappeared before Gibb's eyes.
Gibb looked around vigilantly, turning several times to look for the figure of Phantom Night, but found nothing.
Phantom Night, which had already quietly flashed behind Gibb, raised his palm and was about to slash at the back of Gibb's head. If hit by this force, Gibb will faint on the spot and lose consciousness, but it will not be fatal.
Ji Bu, who vaguely felt that a fierce demonic aura was approaching, but could not determine the specific location of the phantom night, suddenly stopped, gave up all defenses, and said in frustration: "Do you know the secret behind the Demon Realm Martial Arts Competition held by the Lu Dao Council? We're just pawns for them......"
Gibb's two words, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, caused ripples in the heart of the phantom night.
Could it be that the secret behind the contest mentioned by Gibb refers to his mother Hongling? The Ghost King said that his mother was a sacrifice of the competition, but he still hadn't seen Hongling, which made Phantom Night feel very suspicious.
So the right palm that had already raised his hand was slowly lowered, but Leng Ling's eyes were still watching Gibb's movements, and he asked coldly: "What do you know?" β
Seeing that Phantom Night was interested in his words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he immediately turned his head with a calm face, looked at Phantom Night, and said, "The Demon Realm Council, which has eleven members, is the real ruler of the Demon Realm. The successive kings of the Demon Realm were nothing more than puppets of them, and they could only obey their orders. When the puppet is disobedient, they will do whatever it takes to replace them. β
"It has nothing to do with who the council likes to puppet." Phantom Night said lightly. All he cares about is his mother's safety.
"I heard that Ling Zun was kidnapped by the Ghost King, right?" Gibb suddenly smiled darkly.
Phantom Night's words have changed dramatically.
