Chapter 174, Divide the Winner and Loser
"Fire Eagle Catch!" - "Sky Splitting Ghost Slash!"
The voices of the two men rang out almost at the same time, and the two moved at the same time. Zhu Xiao swung the Darkiron Giant Scythe in his hand towards the Fog Eye, and the Fog Eye grabbed at the flames of the Darkiron Giant Scythe.
"Boom!"
The long-stored earth-shattering explosion sounded when it should have sounded, and no one thought there was anything wrong with such an earth-shattering explosion sounding at this time. With the earth-shattering explosion came the destruction of the heavens and the earth, and where there were still half intact floor tiles around Zhu Xiao and the fog eyes, they were all destroyed in the collision of the two martial arts. Dust and debris flew up with a constant popping sound, sweeping in all directions.
The people of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group and the people of the Goshawk Hall who were still watching from afar, they thought that they were far enough away from Zhu Xiao and them. But when the explosion happened, they realized that the distance was too unsafe. At the time of the explosion, they knew something was wrong and wanted to run for their lives. But they were wrong again, this time not because they chose to make a mistake, but because they were moving too slowly.
The overwhelming accumulation of dust and debris did not distinguish between friend and foe, no matter who it was, as long as it stood in front of it, it washed over unceremoniously. For a moment, most of the people were swept in, and although they screamed frantically, their voices were obviously not enough to compare with the explosions, and their voices were just drowned in a continuous explosion.
The accumulation of dust and debris does not stop because people are caught up in it, on the contrary, the dust and debris that accumulate in it snowball, getting bigger and bigger. As the dust and debris increases, the more people and buildings are affected. The dust and debris rolled up like waves, frantically devouring everything around them.
At the center of this catastrophic explosion were Zhu Xiao and Wu Xiao, the two of them continued to stalemate, two completely different rays of light had been deadlocked, and all the explosions and destruction were also generated from these two rays of light.
The "boom" sound continued, and each time such a low sound sounded, the two rays of light would become much dimmer at the same time. The source of these two rays of light was Zhu Xiao and Fog Eyes, so every time they collided violently, Zhu Xiao and Fog Eyes would flush their faces.
There was a brief stalemate between the two, but this stalemate was only temporary and would not last forever. Once there is a slight problem with anyone's body, then the opponent's martial arts will take the opportunity to crush it. Don't give the opponent the slightest chance to turn over at all, and the powerful martial arts will make the opponent turn into powder in an instant.
Although after a lot of cultivation, the current Zhu Xiao is no longer the same Zhu Xiao as before, but now the victory is tilted towards Zhu Xiao's side. The opponent Wu Xi was originally just a nine-star martial artist, but after fighting to lose his life, he got the strength comparable to that of a three-star martial artist. He had been fighting with Zhu Xiao for a long time, but Zhu Xiao couldn't feel his vitality being consumed. With such a process of eliminating the advantages of one and the other, the current situation is not optimistic for Zhu Xiao.
After a long period of consumption, the vitality in Zhu Xiao's body is now less than a fraction of a percent. At present, there is a stalemate between the two, and Zhu Xiao's vitality is consumed like flowing water. If the fog could hold on for another ten breaths, then Zhu Xiao would definitely die.
Time passed little by little, and Zhu Xiao became more and more anxious. One breath, two breaths...... Four breaths...... Time passed little by little, just like Zhu Xiao's life was passing little by little. There was not much time left, and Zhu Xiao hurriedly used all his soul power. Zhu Xiao didn't just want to die with peace of mind, Zhu Xiao searched around, hoping to find a place where he could avoid the fire eagle's grasp.
Although Zhu Xiao did not become helpless because death was very close to him, he searched all around but did not find a place that could save his life. Time passed quickly, not to mention that there was only a few breaths left for Zhu Xiao.
...... Eight breaths...... Nine breaths......
"Poof!"
Just when Zhu Xiao was unwilling to wait for the tenth breath, Wu Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood, and his vitality quickly disappeared with the blood that spewed out.
This was an opportunity for Zhu Xiao to meet but not seek, Zhu Xiao's vitality erupted violently, and he slammed the Xuantie Giant Scythe. Zhu Xiao used such a force, and the fire eagle grab, which was originally in a stalemate with Zhu Xiao, instantly turned into a burst of sparks, and the Sky Splitting Ghost Slash took the opportunity to crush down.
"Boom!"
The loud bang sounded again, and the surrounding areas that had already been damaged were once again subjected to secondary destruction. This time, however, the explosion was not as violent as the previous one, so the ability to destroy was not as strong as the previous one. After the dust and debris washed away like a tide, the Goshawk Hall was revealed, which had been reduced to ruins.
Zhu Xiao was in the middle of the ruins, and he stood up with his body supported by the Dark Iron Scythe. But Zhu Xiao, who was able to stand, couldn't walk, and Zhu Lie, who had become gray on the side, saw this, his body moved, and he jumped over to support the swaying Zhu Xiao.
Zhu Xiao never dreamed that dealing with a nine-star martial artist would make him look like this, and his heart was filled with shame and indignation, Zhu Xiao's eyes suddenly looked at those people in the Goshawk Hall. Zhu Xiao's eyes were about to erupt with fire, only staring at those people's scalps numb.
The people of the Goshawk Hall are not stupid people, they are well aware of their situation. Several people looked at Zhu Xiao, walked out with trembling bodies, and said with chattering teeth: "We are willing to submit to the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, just to be able to save our lives." ”
Zhu Lie couldn't help but be overjoyed, what the current iron-blooded mercenary group needed was a large number of manpower. If the group of people from the Goshawk Hall joined, the power of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group would be able to skyrocket rapidly. For the Predators, these people are also able to help them gain a foothold in the complex town of Rogue.
Zhu Xiao sighed slightly, although Zhu Xiao was indeed slightly injured, and the previous battle also made Zhu Xiao very distressed, but no matter what, he couldn't vent his anger on these irrelevant people. Zhu Xiao used the power of his soul to probe among the crowd and had an understanding of everyone's strength, Zhu Xiao nodded and said lightly: "Since you are willing to join the iron-blooded mercenary group, then we will naturally welcome you." ”
Zhu Xiaoken accommodated the people of the Goshawk Hall, and the people of the Goshawk Hall suddenly had relaxed expressions on their faces. If Zhu Xiao said "you all have to die" right now, then they would naturally all be slaughtered in an instant.
Zhu Xiao didn't make them happy for too long, and then added: "But our iron-blooded mercenary group can't accommodate all of you goshawk hall people, so let's do it, people with warrior strength and above can join the iron-blooded mercenary group." Is there a deputy hall master in the Goshawk Hall, stand up for me?"
As soon as Zhu Xiao's voice fell, a strong man with the strength of a three-star martial artist stood up, bowed his head and said resignedly: "I am Tang Zheng, the deputy hall master of the Goshawk Hall, what do you command, head of the regiment?"
Zhu Xiao looked at Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng was not very tall, only medium-sized. Maybe because he was already the hall master, Tang Zheng was fat and fat. His disc-like face was covered with two pinches of mustache, giving people an inexplicable sense of joy.
Zhu Xiao smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "I am not the leader of the iron-blooded mercenary group. Tang Zheng, since you are the deputy hall master of the Goshawk Hall, then now you will dismiss all those who have not reached the strength of the samurai. My iron-blooded mercenary group is not a mixed place, and you can't join the iron-blooded mercenary group without a certain strength. ”
Tang's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said softly: "Commander, those people who are like me in the Goshawk Hall are not because they like the mercenary industry, but they don't know what they should do except for mercenaries. If we dismiss them all now, I'm afraid they won't even be able to support themselves. ”
Zhu Xiao was slightly stunned, and then said in a cold voice: "I'm not a person who doesn't care about the lives of others, and now even if they all join the iron-blooded mercenary group, it's not impossible." It's just that the current form of Rogue Town is very complicated, if you don't have a certain strength, I'm afraid that they will be the first to die. ”
Tang Zheng never dreamed that Zhu Xiao would think like this, knowing Zhu Xiao's true thoughts, Tang Zheng's body couldn't help but tremble, and his mouth couldn't speak for a long time when he grew up.
Zhu Xiao's tone became softer, and he said lightly: "Tang Zheng, let me dismiss all of them." After the town of Rog is stabilized, if they are willing to join the Iron Mercenary Regiment, the door of the Iron Warrior Mercenary Group will also be open for them. ”
Tang Zheng bowed to Zhu Xiao and said respectfully: "Commander, Tang Zheng will do it." ”
Tang Zhengde acted very neatly and quickly dismissed all those people. Although some people were still reluctant, after some persuasion from Tang Zheng, they all left. Tang Zheng walked in front of Zhu Xiao and said respectfully: "Commander, I didn't think it through before, and I hope that Captain Wan will forgive me." ”
From the very beginning, when Tang Zheng stood up, Zhu Xiao found that Tang Zheng seemed a little too restrained, Zhu Xiao smiled slightly, patted Tang Zheng's shoulder and smiled: "Tang Zheng, since you have now joined the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, then you are our brother, why be so restrained!"
Tang Zheng didn't seem to expect Zhu Xiao to say this, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face, but he became more restrained.
Zhu Xiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although Tang Zheng said that he was a member of the Goshawk Hall, in the final analysis, he was also a member of the Goshawk Mercenary Group. Zhu Xiao has seen a lot of mercenaries, although there are also superior and inferior "captains" and "mercenaries" in the mercenary group, but they don't have so many constraints on weekdays, and the head of the regiment is just a person who gives orders at critical times. But the kind of intimacy that should exist between mercenaries Zhu Xiao didn't see it from Tang Zheng at all, what he saw was more of a distinction between superior and inferior, and it was a very strict distinction between superior and inferior.
Tang Zheng seems to be very upright, he is a rare talent, and being able to subdue him at this time is definitely a surprise for Zhu Xiao. Zhu Xiao wanted Tang Zheng to be not so restrained, but it seemed that this matter could not be rushed.
Zhu Xiao sighed slightly, and took out a Qi Rejuvenation Pill from the ring. After swallowing the Hui Qi Pill, the vitality in Zhu Xiao's body, which was almost depleted, began to recover rapidly. After all the medicinal power of the Hui Qi Pill was exhausted, Zhu Xiao's strength also recovered four or five times.
"Although the Returning Qi Pill can quickly restore the vitality in the body, as my strength increases, the vitality it can recover has become very limited. It seems that I won't be able to fight so freely in the future, but if I can break through to the martial artist in my strength, the vitality in my body will not be so useless. ”
Zhu Xiao clenched his fists tightly, right now, Zhu Xiao has just broken through, and he will not break through in a short time. However, the matter of cultivation cannot be rushed, although it is his strength that binds Zhu Xiao now, he cannot blindly pursue strength. Zhu Xiao reluctantly let go of his clenched fists and whispered to Zhu Lie next to him: "Brother Zhu Lie, I will leave it to you next." The Han family can't stay in Rogue Town for too long, otherwise they may change over time. You take care of the rest here, and I will take Tang Zheng to Han's house. ”
Zhu Xiao took the Hui Qi Pill because Zhu Lie saw it with his own eyes, but even Zhu Xiao felt a little risky when he went to the Han family when he was at his peak, not to mention that the current Zhu Xiao had not recovered to his peak. Zhu Lie grabbed Zhu Xiao and said anxiously: "Zhu Xiao, you can't go to the winter vacation adventure. First of all, not to mention that there are many masters in the Han family, the Han family is located not far from the headquarters of the Fanged Mercenary Group. If there is something going on in the Han family, Huang Bing and the others will arrive as soon as possible. As much as you want to solve the problems in Rogue as soon as possible, you can't rush this matter. ”
Zhu Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not going to attack the Han family this time, I'm just going to find out the truth." I still know how many pounds and taels I have Zhu Xiao, so I won't joke with my own life. ”
Although Zhu Xiao said this, Zhu Lie was still a little relieved. After Zhu Xiao's innocent smile hung on his face, Zhu Lie reluctantly said, "Okay, let Tang Zheng go with you." ”
Agreeing to Zhu Xiao going, Zhu Lie was still a little uneasy, so he pulled Tang Zheng and ordered: "Tang Zheng, now you follow Zhu Xiao to do something." You have to show me Zhu Xiao, don't let him do anything wrong. If he dares to do it, you knock him out and bring him back. ”
Tang Zheng was also very curious at this time, obviously Zhu Xiao's strength was stronger, but he was not the head of the regiment. And it is this person who is not the head of the regiment who has a status beyond the head of the iron-blooded mercenary group. But at the moment, Tang Zheng was not allowed to think too much, Zhu Lie ordered like this, Tang Zheng had to nod violently, and said: "Commander, don't worry, I will definitely bring him back intact." ”
