Chapter 47 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
The hurricane brought by the giant axe blew Jax's purple robe into a hunting sound, and the purple robe was not damaged in the slightest, and Jax's silence under the black iron armor made it impossible to guess what he was thinking now.
However, Sain's heart was a little shocked, originally he planned to hurt Jax's right arm first when he took out the axe, and then forced him to fight angrily, even if Jax had to shoot at that time, he would lose his combat strength because of the injury of his right arm, and Sain's chances of winning would be greatly increased at that time, so Sain's axe was slashed in the direction of Jax's arm, but when it was close to Jax's body, the purple robe on Jax's body produced a soft elastic force, and it unloaded more than 80% of the strength of the giant axe. Not only did the axe not hit Jax, but it also slashed in the open space next to Jax. Although the axe was useless, Sain was well versed in the way of momentum on the battlefield, and the few words he immediately shouted out loudly not only condensed a new battle intent, but also accumulated a new momentum for himself, making all the people around him who didn't know the truth think that his axe was originally out of threat and forcing Jax to face the battle and could be cut down. Could it be that the cloak on Jax's body is the legendary "anti-magic cloak" that can dodge spell-like attacks such as magic, fighting energy, and rune power with a certain chance?
At the same time, Jax's silence made Sain very uncertain, so Sain's arm pointed at the flag officer on the high platform on the left, then clenched his fist, raised it flat, and then swung it down forcefully. The flag officer quickly took out a few flags, and made several flag commands in a row, and the Noxian honor guard at the edge of the square saw the order, and another drum horn sounded in unison, and the music played this time did not have the desolation and pathos of the Noxus Town Requiem, and the whole song was full of a feeling of iron-blooded slaughter, so that the people who heard it felt that the blood was surging, and the fighting spirit was rising. (You can refer to the 86 version of DNF's gladiatorial arena background music, hot blood 8 areas, etc.)
The officers who had been lined up in two rows looked solemn, stretched out their right hands to salute Sain and Jax with a standard Noxian military salute, and then quickly exited the small square area, surrounding the small square from a distance, leaving a wide space for the two. The Presti Market and several envoys to the Federal Parliament who remained in the field were at a loss, and they subconsciously wanted to stay away from Jax and Sain, but they didn't know where to hide, so they all ran to Master Soraka's side. It just so happened that at this time, Zeros, whose injuries had improved greatly after being treated by Soraka, was opening his mouth to ask the two gray-robed seniors on the side what the name of this song was. Akali's father, Koziz, told everyone to get out of this small square first, and the two might start a battle immediately, and the reason for this will be explained to you later.
"Really, unexpectedly!! Thorn! You even know this gladiatorial battle song of ours! Looks like you really did a lot of homework before I came! Jax finally spoke, and there was finally a hint of anger in his steely voice.
"Not only do I know this tune, but I also know some of your past with Reginard, and I also know that you fled without a fight in your 154th battle!! Hahaha, you can't bear to even be a woman, what qualifications do you have to become a legend in the army of Noxus, you are not even as good as a coward!! Come on, let me see how much courage you have left! Sain roared.
After being lifted by Sain once again after the scar that had been closed for decades, Jax finally moved, he stretched out his right hand, and with the halo in the palm of his hand, a bronze hexagonal lamppost flew out of the second carriage, and with a "snap" Jax held it tightly in his hand. Jax's originally calm purple robe swelled as if it was blowing, and after it expanded to a certain limit, the powerful internal force shook out like a shock wave in all directions, not only cleaning up the rubble and dust in the square, but even the Sain in front of him was blown back two steps. At this time, I saw bursts of milky white internal force lingering around the weapon in Jax's hand and his whole body, standing in front of Sain like a god. At this moment, he seems to have become the "Valkyrie" who won a hundred battles in the Noxus gladiatorial arena again!
"You're going to fight! I'm going to fight!! ”
This was the last thing Sain heard before he was smashed into the air!! Cyne's huge body flew like a cannonball to the side of the square, frightening the Noxian generals in that area to dodge, and Sain, who fell to the ground, fell out of an oval crater. However, Sain, who jumped up from the pit, did not seem to have suffered any damage, the blood surrounding his body became more and more intense, and the blood-colored armor on his body was indeed amazingly defensive, and Jax's blow only imprinted a shallow and sunken diamond-shaped mark on the right chest of the armor.
"Roar!! Sain roared angrily, holding the axe in both hands, the red light on his body flashed, like a mad bull crashing into Jax's place, the impact of Sain became faster and faster, and each step at the beginning only left a broken footprint on the ground of the bluestone square, and then completely ploughed a dust dragon on the ground, when Sain rushed straight over, Jax, who was full of internal force, was already quickly turning the bronze lamp pole in his hand, like a rotating propeller. Sain slammed into Jax's body as he wished, but he felt that the force point in front of him was very light, and there was no human body that he had knocked into the ground after launching a savage collision in the gladiatorial arena in the past, and then there was a cracking sound and screams of broken muscles and bones, and Sain, who felt wrong, hurriedly stopped, and the huge foot surface rubbed a deep mark on the ground. After the emergency stop, Sain turned and slashed, but still split into the air. At this time, Sain heard the sound of the wind whirring in the sky, and Jax continued to spin the weapon in his hand like a propeller after using the skill of the rotating lamppost to send himself into the air, and the faster and faster acceleration produced the tremor and sound of the air being torn apart.
With Jax's roar, the spun and charged bronze lamppost struck at Sain's head. Sain hurriedly hurriedly axed, and with a loud "boom", Sain's waist down was deeply smashed into the bricks and soil by Jax's blow, and a circle of bluestone slabs spreading from his waist to the square were shaken into the air and shattered, and a huge spiral tremor appeared on the ground where the loess traces were exposed.
After Sain spurted a mouthful of blood, he supported the ground with both hands and pulled out his body little by little. Sain picked up the blood-colored giant axe that fell aside, the blood was still hanging on his lips, but he stared at Jax like the god of war without fear, at this time, a trace of blood gradually floated in the gap of the broken blood armor, so that Sain's already burning red light swelled to an exaggerated bottom again, Sain clenched the giant axe with both hands, and circled it back as if he was ready to launch another charged attack. But how could Jax give him such a chance? Jax then held a lamppost and prepared to strike at Sain's heart to end the fight.
At this moment, Sain, who was originally planning to accumulate strength, saw Jax take the bait, the corners of his mouth slanted, and he opened his mouth, "Whew!!" Drink!! A roar like an ancient beast, the sound formed a ring-shaped shock wave that hit Jax squarely, and this huge roar also stunned at least more than half of the Noxian generals around the square, and some people even had a thin blood trail on their ears, and at this time the eardrum had been pierced through the injury. As for Mayor Presti and the envoys of the Federal Assembly, they were not injured in the protective circle of Akali's mother, Areda's purple shield. It's just that this purple barrier, which looked thin, also shook violently like water ripples, and almost collapsed.
The last generation of Shadow Fist Arieda couldn't help but change color, their side was already on the edge of the square, and the sonic shock wave they received was so strong, so Jax who was hit head-on?? She was equally worried about her husband, Koziz, as well as Master Soraka and a nervous-looking Zeroth. Everyone looked at the field shrouded in dust after being rolled up by the sonic shock, and they could only vaguely see that Sain, who was holding a giant axe, was constantly slashing into the dust and mist, and there was always a weapon blocking "Bell!" Money! Voice. Seeing this scene, although he couldn't see what Jax was doing, he was able to fight back and forth, which proved that he had not been hit hard. The crowd was relieved.
When the dust and fog gradually dispersed with the breeze, the people who could still stand around the small square also saw the situation in the field clearly, Jax's purple robe appeared a lot of cracks, it was obvious that he was a little caught off guard just now, and what was even more worrying was that Jax's bronze lamppost was covered with purple-red blood, and after being smashed dozens of times by Sain like madness, Jax's hands holding the lamppost had been shattered, and the blood left a patch of blood on the bronze lamppost along the palm of his hand.
After Sain broke out in a row to attack such a round, the violent wheezing sound means that his consumption is not low, but what he is most proud of is that he finally injured Jax and bleed, you know, in Jax's 153 consecutive victories in the gladiatorial arena that year, there was no enemy who could injure Jax, even if there were some wild beasts or old monster heroes of that period among those opponents.
At this time, the black iron mask on Jax's face made a crisp "click" sound. This voice attracted the attention of everyone present, since Jax became a Noxian legend, his face has always been either covered with a face scarf, or covered with various masks, so that people can't see his true face, this was originally asked by the Noxus military to create a sense of mystery for Jax, a heroic figure, I don't know if Jax got used to it or what, since he arrived at the War College, his mask has never been taken off, especially the black iron mask on his face, The area has been around for more than ten years and has never been replaced.
Sain also stared at Jax intently, although he was deeply dissatisfied and dissatisfied with Jax in his heart, but it did not prevent him from being curious about what the face under the mask looked like.
With another crunching "click", Jax's black iron mask showed a crack that was noticeably larger and larger from his forehead to his right eye, and finally the piece fell and smashed against the rubble on the ground, making a more crisp sound.
Upon seeing Jax's exposed right eye and the color of the skin on his face, Sain's face trembled violently, and he asked in an inquiring tone that only the two of them could hear, "What, how could it be??" Jax, are you? Not human?? ”
It's no wonder that Sain asks such a question, Jax's exposed half of his forehead and face are a strange purple and cyan color, and in those eyes, it is like a bottomless purple lake, only ripples can be seen, but no pupils or whites of the eyes can be seen.
"No, Sain, I'm human, but, once, there was a little accident, and I needed to suppress some uncontrollable power through this black iron mask! It won't be long before you'll figure out if you're on the battlefield there! Jax patiently explained.
"I don't care what you've experienced, I only care about the outcome of our battle, no matter what you are, our battle is not over yet!!" Sain raised his axe again, and struck a gesture of power.
"Wait, that's not right, Sain, get out of the way!!" Jax suddenly shouted, but the stubborn Sain took Jax's kind reminder as a ploy, and he slashed at Jax with an axe that did not dodge.
At this moment, a purple-black light flashed, and Sain's throat was pierced by this light, and a bowl-shaped hole appeared, and Sain knelt on the ground with his hand covering his bloody throat, because his throat was shot through, Sain didn't even have time to ask who was sneaking attack. At this moment, a second purple-black light appeared, shooting at Sain's head, Jax observed that what shot at Sain was a bow and arrow wrapped around the strange power of purple and black, and after he used the weapon in his hand to remove the bow and arrow, he felt three cold rays shooting at the blind corner of his vision behind him!!
When Jax knocked down the three black feathered arrows again, a Noxian officer lying on the ground at the edge of the square turned into a cloud of blood mist and quickly pounced along the ground. Just as the blood mist approached the two of them and turned into a human form and was about to pounce on Sain, the bronze lamp pole in Jax's hand hit an air shock wave before the blood mist, which shook the blood mist away, and the blood mist scattered on the side gradually condensed, and finally turned into a human figure, which turned out to be the inexplicably missing commander of the original southern city of Noxus, Vladimir.
