Chapter 43: The Competition
It's a Colosseum-like building, with all the spectators sitting on the periphery watching, the crowd watching the game in the center of the circle, and the two teams behind the doors on either side.
Namzhi walked to the front near the railing to get a clearer view of the situation on the field.
Xuan He has already gone down to prepare, but no one knows who will come out from the opposite side?
The king was seated on the high platform, with Xana and Nomin sitting beside him, and Anag. Namzhi just glanced over there and looked away, continuing to stare at the situation on the field.
"Now I announce the rules of the game, and Red defends, and Blue attacks, tentatively five games, if within ten games, Blue defeats Red, then Red loses: if Red beats all the challengers in five games, Red wins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, the audience burst into cheers. Nanzhi looked back, he didn't expect the desert people to be so enthusiastic, as long as it was about the fight, they seemed to be so enthusiastic and positive.
"Now, I announce, the game begins!"
Nanzhi saw Xuanhe come out and waved his hand in his direction, and Nanzhi responded with a smile in response.
As soon as he raised his eyes again, he saw Xuanhe's opponent opposite, Nanzhi frowned, feeling that something was wrong. The murderous aura on this person's body is too heavy, the whole person has a gloomy face, and the muscles all over his body, which are not easy to provoke at first glance. The weapon in his hand is still a big knife, and the whole person feels extremely strong.
"Master," Seventeen whispered in Nanzhi's ear, "this person is not simple, I'm afraid that Song Gongzi is a little tricky." ”
"Where are the other guards?" Nam Zhi felt the need to stay behind.
"It should be lurking in the city by now."
"Go and tell them to be ready to fight at any time." Nanzhi thought about the worst-case scenario, if he couldn't win, he would send them away first, and then leave the queen himself. Anyway, I can't let them take any more risks with him.
"Yes." Seventeen received the order and walked out of the crowd.
Anag had been paying attention to the situation on Nanzhi's side, and when he saw Seventeen gone, he immediately patted his henchmen and followed.
Xuan He held a sword in his hand, dressed in white, and his posture was elegant, but he looked a little small in front of that person.
The man glanced at Xuan He with a somewhat unremitting look, put the big knife in his hand horizontally, and attacked Xuan He without saying anything.
Xuan He wanted to test his strength, and he was ready to take the initiative to attack, but when he saw him step forward, a cold light appeared in his hand, and he drew his sword and flew forward to confront him head-on.
The swords of the two collided, they didn't give in to each other, and they were frozen for a moment, Xuan He turned around and staggered with his knife, and the oblique knife attacked his lower part, but the man reacted quite quickly and dodged sideways, but he was still injured by Xuan He.
Seeing that he wanted to retreat, Xuan He didn't give him the slightest chance, and went up again, pointing his sword at his front door.
The man sneered and raised his knife to slash straight down. Seeing the move, Xuan He slid back and dodged, and turned sideways around his back, jumped up with a force, and pierced his shoulder blades.
The man roared in pain, he didn't expect him to be so fast, and he actually hurt himself like this.
Xuan He didn't pull out the sword, but only poured internal force in an instant, stabbed the entire sword through his body, and slapped his palm on his vest again.
The man fell to his knees, propped his upper body with a knife, and glanced back at him.
Xuan He watched him stand up slowly, his eyes suddenly became cold, he didn't expect to be injured to this extent, do you want to continue fighting, this person is obviously not his opponent, it is better to fight quickly.
Thinking so, he stepped forward with his sword raised, ready to knock him down with a single blow.
The man stood as steady as Mount Tai, and suddenly when Xuan He approached, he changed his hand to hold a knife, his momentum changed suddenly, and he also stepped forward.
Xuan He's eyes lit up, and he clearly felt that the person's breath had become dangerous, and a coercion was surging towards him, and Xuan He felt that he was in an endless abyss, with bloody gas, roars, and the smell of decay all surrounding him.
Nanzhi also felt this bloody and bloody aura, with an extremely strong murderous aura, breaking through the momentum. Is there still such a character, Nanzhi was a little puzzled, how could such a person still be nameless, and even the audience present, no one called out his name.
Xuan He's back was covered with cold sweat, and the closer he got, the more difficult it was to control his body, as if there were countless ghosts pulling you.
Xuan He wanted to retreat, but it was too late, his whole body froze in place, and the knife was already close in front of him.
"Xuan He!"
Xuan He suddenly felt a burst of power around him, dispelling all the coercion, Xuan He's body moved, sideways dodged his knife, turned around and scratched his wrist with skill, and suddenly the wound on his hand made him have to throw away the sword.
Xuan He put the sword across his neck and didn't kill him, but just looked at the referee coldly.
"This sentence, Red Fang wins!"
"Wow!" The audience immediately cheered, and everyone stood up and jumped in place.
Only Xuan He, who looked at Nanzhi quietly in the field, smiled slightly, the momentum just now must have been Nanzhi's, and that vigilant shout, if it weren't for her, she would definitely have been chopped into mashed meat.
Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, he was almost too late, he didn't expect Xuanhe to react so quickly and cooperate so well.
"Little cub," the man stood up, his eyes less disdainful than at first, but more calm, "why didn't you kill me?" ”
Xuan He withdrew his sword, "There's no need, I just need to win." ”
"You will suffer like this, my remaining brothers are better than me, not a person to mess with, I advise you, take out the killing sword, otherwise you will die."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you didn't kill me. Maybe it's that simple. The man slung the knife to his shoulder and turned to look at the audience, "Who are you, that little girl?" I felt an unusual power in her, by no means what she had. ”
Xuan He followed his line of sight, "She's mine, friend." ”
"The second race is about to start! Be prepared! As soon as the gong sounded, Xuan He immediately returned to his position.
On the other side of the door came a man dressed in black, wearing a black mask, revealing only a pair of viper-like eyes. He also had a sword in his hand, but his sword was much thinner.
As soon as this person came on the field, he glanced at Xuan He, as if he had determined Xuan He's location, and then his body moved, and he disappeared in place in an instant.
Xuan He was instantly vigilant, only the afterimage was left at this speed, it seemed that this person was speed-type, even faster than his own speed.
Suddenly, Xuan He felt a strong wind behind him, and before he could turn around, he was kicked to the ground.
Xuan He felt that his back was about to crack, and he got up from the ground and spat blood.
The sword in the man's hand is still useless, and the speed and internal force alone are already so powerful, Xuan He's heart is tight, he won't lose the second one.
Xuan He adjusted his state and swallowed the blood stiffly.
Xuan He saw that his figure began to move again, and the whole person disappeared, not knowing where he would appear next time. Xuan He closed his eyes and felt his direction with his ears, and suddenly Xuan He turned around and stabbed the sword out with all his strength, hitting him in the chest.
The man fell to the ground and looked at him viciously, with disbelief in his eyes, how could he be stabbed so quickly.
"Your body is fast, but because it's too fast, your footsteps become more, I don't have any specialty, but my ears are very good."
After Xuan He finished speaking, he looked at Nanzhi and waved at her with a smug smile.
Nam Zhi sighed helplessly and gave him a thumbs up.
"The third race is about to start, please get ready!"
Nanzhi frowned for a moment, is this not even going to give time to rest, looking at the high seat, sure enough, the expression of the king of the desert is not very good-looking, it seems that he wants to take advantage of Xuanhe's injury and end it early.
The third person is tall and big, but his eyes are lifeless, and he doesn't hold anything in his hands.
Xuan He looked at him suspiciously, but for a moment, he still took the initiative to attack, without a trace of temptation, and poured all his strength into the sword as soon as he lifted it, wanting to kill with one blow.
The closer Xuan He got to see him, the clearer his eyes became, but after staring at him for a long time, it made people feel dizzy. Xuan He stared and stopped looking into his eyes.
The man was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect Xuan He to be able to get rid of his illusion, and quickly flew and jumped, and then threw out three silver needles.
The man stood not far away and looked at Xuan He, "I lost this game." He knew that once his illusion failed, he would never have a chance to win again.
"But I have a question, why didn't my illusion work for you?"
Xuan He was also very puzzled, did this person use illusion on himself again, "I don't know, I felt very uncomfortable when I looked at your eyes, so I didn't continue to look at it." ”
"That's impossible, I activated the illusion, and as soon as I see my eyes, I will immediately enter the illusion."
"Then I don't know." Xuan He spread his hands.
The gong sounded and the game was over. Nanzhi was in a good mood when he saw Xuanhe winning without a fight, and when he looked up at the face of the Desert King, it was already black to the bottom of the pot, and Nanzhi's mood was even happier.
"Game 4 begins!" Still didn't give time to rest, and even the victory of which side was not announced, and the fourth person entered.
The man was holding a spear, and he had a long scar on his face, which looked hideous and terrifying.
Xuan He still took the initiative to attack, but as soon as he flew forward, he was blocked by his spear, and the man's spear was flexible, like a snake swimming around his body, attacking and retreating, and it was difficult to hurt him.
Xuan He was a little anxious and ventured to attack, but was pierced in the abdomen by his spear. Xuan He hurriedly retreated, but the man didn't give Xuan He a chance, just dodged a shot, and made up another shot, both of which stabbed Xuan He in the shoulder and abdomen.
Xuan He felt that his whole body was bleeding, his strength was also losing little by little, and the sword in his hand was almost unstable.
Nanzhi didn't expect this person to be so powerful, and he would hurt Xuanhe like this, and he gradually became worried about him in his heart.
Xuan He looked at the man's posture with a gun, and the obvious back was his weakness, if he could go around his back, he would definitely be able to break it with one blow.
Xuan He lured him forward until he got close to the wall, and Xuan He used his strength to shoot his gun into the wall, taking advantage of the split second to dodge behind his back and stabbing the sword into his back socket.
The man pulled out the gun from the wall with all his might, but had no strength to turn back.
Nanzhi's nervous heart finally fell, and he couldn't help but applaud him, he thought that Xuanhe would continue to hold on, but he didn't expect to win.
"Red wins this game!" For a while, the court was boiling again, and the first two games were not played much, and this game was enough to arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.
