Chapter 42: Hanbock's Strength
At the same time as Jasper and Baron left the VIP seats, led by the two stewards, Hanbock was followed by four bodyguards and a nervous Henry into the corridor in the middle of the VIP staircase.
Han Bock is still the same as with his back slumped, his eyelids drooping, and he walks slowly, if he didn't know his identity, I'm afraid that no one would think of this old man who is not amazing as the head of the Shenlei Tower in Yaori City.
"Lord Hanbock, you are a rare guest, and your presence here today has really made our Sun God Gladiatorial Arena shine. β
With a warm smile on his face, Jasber greeted him and walked slowly towards Humbock with steady steps, although he was very jealous of Humbock in his heart, but this was his home turf, and he had to show composure and confidence so that he would not be underestimated.
When Hanbock heard the voice, he looked at Jasper, with a puzzled look on his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who is this little fat man?"
Although the voice of this sentence was not loud, it was still heard by many people around him, and the smile on Jasper's face immediately froze, and a wave of anger instantly surged into his brain, what he hated most was that others said that he was fat, and Hanbock didn't even know him, which showed that he was not even qualified to be remembered in the eyes of the other party.
At this time, Baron behind him came out to relieve Jasper's embarrassment, and he first bowed respectfully to Hanberk before saying solemnly, "Lord Hanbock, you are still so fond of joking, this is our Young Master Jasper of the Ferrian family, who is in charge of all the affairs of the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena. β
Hanbock's eyes widened a little after seeing Balon, but he didn't answer the other party's words, and said with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, "Oh, isn't this Balon, I haven't seen you for a long time, is Jalba okay?"
Seeing that the other party didn't know him but greeted Baron, the feeling of being underestimated suddenly turned into a raging anger, and he couldn't keep calm anymore, and said softly after sneering, "Thank you Lord Viscount Hanberk for your concern, my father is in his prime, and he is naturally in good health, unlike some people, who don't know how long he can live." β
Jasber said this unceremoniously, and even the title changed, not only pointing out that Hanbock was just a viscount, but also pointing out that the other party was old and would not live long.
In fact, Jasber is not a small person, but he has a problem, that is, he is very conceited, and he has always been proud of his cleverness and strategy, but what he hates the most is that others say that he is fat or underestimate him.
As soon as these words were spoken, Baron's face changed, and at the same time, the bodies of the two bodyguards behind Hanbok suddenly burst out with extremely powerful momentum, and one of them was a middle-aged man with a pale face and eyes like a falcon, and shouted, "Bold, dare to be disrespectful to adults!"
This sentence was mixed with a strong fighting spirit, and in an instant, Jasper's eyes turned black, and even his brain was clouded, and his body was about to fall to the ground as soon as he became weak.
But at this time, Baron, who was standing behind him, supported his right arm, and immediately blocked him after holding Jasper steady, and at the same time his body burst out with a fighting spirit to compete with the opposite side, and said with a cold face, "Lord Hanberk, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing that Baron actually sent out a momentum confrontation, the remaining two bodyguards also burst out with a fighting spirit comparable to the previous two, and in an instant, five powerful fighting forces formed a circle of small storms, blowing everyone except Hanbock and Jasper unstable and falling to the ground.
Jasper's face turned pale and frightened at this time, because he found that the four seemingly ordinary bodyguards were all silver-grade demon fighters, and each of them was not weaker than Baron, especially the eagle-eyed man who roared at him, and even faintly stronger than Balon.
Hanbock's expression did not change at all, there was still a faint smile on his face, and even his voice was as hoarse and slow, "Baron, this sentence should be what I asked you, even Jalba didn't dare to speak like this in front of me, does this little fat man want to declare war on behalf of your Ferrian family and Shenleilou? Hehehehe, it seems that your Ferrian family thinks that with the support of Prime Minister Hernanson, you don't look at anyone in your eyes." β
Baron was fighting against the momentum attacks of four demon fighters of the same level as him at the moment, and he was suppressed so hard that he could only support it, and it was very difficult to even move his fingers, but after hearing Hanbock's words, he couldn't help but tremble, Jasber didn't know much about Hanberk's strength due to his age and experience, but he knew very well that this old guy himself was nothing, but the friend behind him was a powerful person who would tremble at the slightest movement of the empire, even Prime Minister Hernansen didn't dare to offend, but if he wanted to release goodwill from time to time, their Ferrian family would not dare to take it lightlyγ
Thinking of this, Baron gritted his teeth and turned his head to Jasper and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, please apologize to Lord Hanbock, Lord Hanbock is highly respected, and I don't think I will blame you for the nonsense you just said in a moment of confusion." β
Hearing this, Jasper's anger rose again, and his eyes were red glaring at Baron and he said angrily, "What? You make me apologize? This is the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena, it's my place, it's just four Silver Demon Fighters, I don't believe they dare to do anything to me!"
"Young Master!" Baron said in a loud voice, almost shouting, "Please apologize to Lord Hanbock, Lord Hanbock's methods are not what you can imagine, and I believe that even if Lord Marquis is present, he will let you do the same!"
Jasper was shaken by Baron's roar, and the anger in his eyes gradually deepened, but ten fingers stabbed into the flesh of his palm, and finally lowered his head and whispered, "Lord Hanbock, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being unreasonable just now. β
Hanbock smiled and raised his hand, and the four bodyguards behind him withdrew their fighting spirit at the same time, and Baron finally relaxed, but at this time, Hanbock's voice came again, which made his heart suddenly tighten.
"Young man, it's good to be arrogant, but it also depends on who you are right to bully, not everyone you are qualified to bully, I heard that my friend's grandson is playing gladiatorial matches with you, I hope he hasn't been framed by you, if he has a mistake, hehehehe, the anger of the one behind him is definitely something you can't afford. β
Although Baron had already guessed the result in his heart, he still asked with the hope of just in case, "Lord Hanbock, you are joking, our Sun God gladiatorial competition has always been fair and fair, how can you harm people, but I don't know who your friend's grandson is?
Hanbock glanced at Baron deeply, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually turned cold, "Yes, he has a game, he is a very recognizable child, with black hair and black eyes, and he is very delicate, so you should know, right?"
A heart suddenly sank to the bottom, Baron forced a smile and said, "Oh, it's that boy, he's playing now, I didn't expect him to be your friend's grandson, no wonder he's so good, he's already won three games in a row, and now it's the fourth, Lord Hanberk, let's go watch the game together, the best seat is ready for you." β
Under the leadership of Baron, Hanburk slowly followed him to the VIP seat, and Jasper also followed expressionlessly, looking like he had endured everything just now, but in his lowered eyes, there was a bitter hatred, but the object of this hatred was not only Hanberk, but also Baron!
In the gladiatorial arena, the duel between Lei Xiu and Hei Wu has become a tug of war, with a speed faster than Hei Wu, Lei Xiu is slowly familiar with this rhythm of fighting, he has already used the thunder breath technique, the fighting energy and physical strength that were consumed just now are recovering quickly and steadily, and he was beaten almost without the power to parry just now, and now he can fight back and forth.
During this period of battle, he discovered a lot of small skills, such as the poisonous and strange black gas of the black crow, which had to increase the power to purify it at first, but now Lei Xiu has mastered a balance, and the electricity consumed when purifying the black gas has become less and less;
This battle is indeed very important to Lei Xiu, allowing him to gain a lot of valuable combat experience, it can be said that Hei Wu is like a practical teacher, using all his strength to force and promote Lei Xiu to grow up quickly.
However, compared to Lei Xiu's more and more spirit, Hei Wu is more and more cold, the other party's fighting spirit is not only deep, but also the speed of return is even faster than usual, Hei Wu feels that if he continues to fight like this, it will be himself who will run out of fighting energy in the end.
"This monster, how the hell does he cultivate, not only fighting spirit, but also physical strength far beyond ordinary people, with the speed at which he recovers, he will surpass me again in five minutes, no, a protracted battle is not good for me, I have to fight quickly!"
After scolding in his heart, after a few backflips in a row, Hei Wu shook his sword and opened up the distance between him and Lei Xiu, because he had taken the initiative just now, it was naturally easy to withdraw.
Seeing Hei Wu suddenly retreat, Lei Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, frowned and said, "Hey, why don't you fight? Are you tired? I can let you rest for a while." β
Hei Wu laughed angrily at Lei Xiu's words, "Hehe, you monster, don't underestimate people, I just changed my mind and was going to let you watch something interesting." β
"Oh?" Lei Xiu raised an eyebrow, curious, "What's interesting?"
Slowly standing up straight, Hei Wu showed a gloomy smile, "Don't worry, this is the beginning." β
After speaking, the black black's eyes widened suddenly, and the black mist that wrapped around his body also spread at the same time, and the color gradually changed to black and red like sticky blood.
"I can see that you are very confident in speed, so now it depends on whether your speed can help you escape from my blood hell, drink, blood hell to die!"
The black-red blood mist that spread more and more quickly began to writhe as if it had life, and the speed of diffusion was also accelerated, wrapping all the black black and Lei Xiu in just a few seconds, forming a huge fog cocoon, and emitting a disgusting smell of blood, which filled the entire arena.
Seeing this scene, the audience suddenly screamed, and even Messiah and Wei Ya stood up nervously and began to worry about Lei Xiu in the foggy cocoon.
Lei Xiu, who was wrapped in a fog cocoon, seemed to feel that he had been transferred to another scene, the surrounding scenery was full of black and red, extremely dark, which greatly affected his vision, and his whole body became heavy and sticky, as if the whole person was soaked in the mire, and the most uncomfortable thing was the extremely strong smell of blood, as if it could penetrate into the body through the pores of the skin.
Just as Lei Xiu was cautiously observing the surrounding situation, the black black voice seemed to come from all directions, "Hehehehe, why don't you run? Try it, see if you can still show your proud speed in my blood sea hell?"
Lei Xiu kept looking around, but he couldn't find the source of the voice at all, and an unbelievable thought arose in his heart in shock, and blurted out, "Could this be a realm ability that mimics the gold grade?"
"Yes, I didn't expect you to see it so quickly, although it's just a pseudo-realm, it's not very useful in front of the Golden Demon Fighter or even the stronger Silver Demon Fighter, but it's more than enough to deal with you, here, your speed will be greatly reduced, now enjoy the feeling of being a snail, hahahaha." β
Hei Wu's confident laughter was still in his ears, and a boundless killing machine arose inside the fog cocoon, and a rumbling sound like muffled thunder continued to expand, and then, Lei Xiu's cautious eyes flashed a shocked look, because directly in front of him, a six-meter-high blood wave appeared out of thin air and slapped him on the head.
Lei Xiu immediately used the Thunder Shadow Footwork to dodge backwards, but here, his speed was greatly limited, and the coverage of the blood wave was too wide, and there was no way, Lei Xiu could only cast the Thunder Slash again, and slashed towards the blood wave.
"How is it possible, in this place where there is no water, he can condense so many blood waves to attack, even if it is a realm, it is difficult to do this, is it an illusion?"
After a trace of such a thought flashed in his heart, Lei Xiu remembered that Roger had told him that among the demon fighters, in addition to using elemental attacks, there are some people who are also good at creating illusions for opponents to carry out mental attacks, and when the opponent is caught off guard, they can often win by surprise, in addition, the scene of being surrounded by countless dagger phantoms when he fought with Rika before also instantly surfaced in his mind.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Lei Xiu instantly withdrew seventy percent of the fighting qi in the thunder slash to defend himself, leaving only thirty percent to slash towards the blood wave.
"Brush!" Just when the thunder slash hit the blood wave, the huge wave turned into a red point of light and quickly dissipated in the air, and the black black figure suddenly appeared behind him at the moment when Lei Xiu was slightly stunned, and the two sickles cut at his neck accurately.
Fortunately, Lei Xiu had already prepared, this move did not use all his strength, and he easily dodged the sickle in the air with an upside down, and at the same time kicked at the black crow with his back, this time he changed to the black crow in surprise and couldn't dodge, and was immediately kicked in the face by Lei Xiu.
