Chapter 15: The Arena
Three days later, the arena
"There was always no suspense in the first game, and today we can watch it. Lu Xiaoxing looked around and looked at the stage. He also came to take a look at the individual battle two days ago, and both of them were victorious with one blow, which was not interesting.
On the stage, Yu Ming and Yu Xia's opponents were two young men, one strong and one thin, the strong one holding a giant axe, the thin one with two iron gloves, and his eyes were full of expectation.
At the sound of the order, the blood vessels of the strong young man exploded, and his legs squatted slightly.
Yu Ming was different from last time this time, and rushed out directly. He drew his one-handed sword and held it on his right side, and rushed forward.
There was an exclamation from the audience, it was the first time the audience had seen such a golden knife.
"Fight!" the young man roared, holding an axe to meet Yu Ming.
The thin man smiled wickedly and pointed to the sky. "Hehe, you're welcome!"
"Click!" a bolt of lightning fell from Yuxia's head, and Yuxia kicked forward to dodge the blow.
"Thunder and lightning?" Yuxia flapped her wings and rushed up several meters into the air, and the thin man's sneak attack made her very unhappy.
At the same time, Yu Ming and Zhuang Young are also close at hand. "Wow!" the blade of the axe collided with the blade, Yu Ming's body swept in the breeze, and the horizontal knife caught the axe.
"Whirlwind Slash!" The five clusters of flames beside the young man Zhuang turned around three hundred and sixty degrees along with the long axe, and slashed towards Yu Ming. Yu Ming changed his left hand and stood with the vertical knife beside him. "Wow!" the Wind Spirit Knife didn't move.
Behind the strong young man, the thin man folded his hands, and countless power grids shrouded Yu Xia in the sky, Yu Xia's wings exuded a white luster with advance and retreat, and forcibly accelerated and flew over the power grid, passing through the power grid, Yu Xia angrily rushed towards the obscene thin man on the ground.
Yu Ming connected the strong young man with several axes and was undefeated, which made the strong young man very angry, "The hurricane is coming!" The strong young man's eyes were wide with anger, his teeth were stained with red blood, and his hands turned his axe.
Seeing this, the thin man slapped forward with one hand, and the strong young man's 'hurricane' immediately brought stripes of lightning. Yuxia had already rushed to the thin man at this time, and the white rain wings were close. The thin man reacted quickly, and his hands gathered two thunder balls in the shape of claws. Turning his claws into palms, he went straight to Yuxia's wings, "Bangzi..."Yuxia was hit by lightning on the wing, although he was not hurt, but he was pushed away heavily, and he was about to be torn apart by the 'hurricane' of the strong young man.
Yu Ming couldn't see Yu Xia, but the wind of nature told him that his companion was in danger, and Yu Ming raised his sword in both hands to his right ear, silently reciting the results of his recent practice in his heart. "Sharp as a blade. A knife stabbed out in blue and white, and Lu Xiaoxing was surprised to see four wisps of clear flame flowing on the knife. "Is it already four flames?" he muttered.
"Ding! bang..."The sound of the weapon colliding and the sound of blood falling to the ground rang out, and the knife had pierced through the chest of the strong young man. The blade of the giant axe was shattered by the air current, and countless iron filings were scattered.
"Ihe!" said Yu Ming angrily, saying that he would never allow his companions to make 'mistakes' due to his negligence.
The blade was facing downward when it was inserted, but at this time it had been twisted to the top by Yu Ming, and for a while, the wind was blowing and the wind was raging. Yu Ming didn't think much about it, didn't care if he had killed people or even animals before, just gathered the power of the wind and slammed it upward.
The wind and the knife are one. Who can hold back the wind of a blade with flesh and bones?
The golden blade drew an arc in the air with the blue and white wind, and at the same time splashed blood and brain tissue, until the heavy body hit the ground, and some of the people present realized that the young man had just executed a person in an extremely cruel way, and Yuxia happened to trip over the corpse as he retreated in his direction.
Yuxia crashed into Yu Ming's arms, and Yu Ming asked her blankly, "Are you okay?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little numb. Yuxia held Yu Ming, although her wings were energy bodies, she could still feel the current meridian
A sense of powerlessness over time. Looking at Yu Ming, who was stained with a little blood on her body, she couldn't help but think, "He actually killed someone for me!"
"You... You killed him?!" The thin man reacted and asked with a hideous face.
"If you don't do it, I won't do it. Yu Ming held Yuxia with one hand, and pointed at the thin man with the other.
"I told him that we would live and die together... This is the end of it... Come on. The thin man sighed and smiled bitterly twice, and held his hands flat on his chest as if he were holding a ball in both hands, his eyes closed, and his face expressionless. The thunder light between his hands gradually appeared, and the thin man suddenly laughed wildly, "Just let me pull you away!" He suddenly clapped his hands like applause, and the thunderballs that had been gathered were slapped into his hands, and the sky-blue lightning went up the meridians of the thin man, and finally even the skin on his face was torn apart by the electricity in his body, and bright red blood and flesh burst out. "Die. As soon as the words fell, the thin man's body exploded into countless sky-blue oval electric balls.
The electric ball swept overwhelmed, and Yu Ming gently helped Yuxia behind him, holding the sword in both hands.
"With the wind... Random attack!" Yu Ming didn't know where to think of a strange name, three skills in one. The Wind Spirit Knife stabbed out again and again like a phantom, each time bringing out a three-meter-long blue and white aura, piercing the center of the electric balls impartially, and one by one the electric balls collapsed one after another, none of them came close.
Thousands of electric balls were cleaned up in an instant, and all that was left was the thin man's broken lower body.
"It's over. Yu Ming put away the Wind Spirit Knife, supported Yuxia, and gradually disappeared in the flow of people.
Lu Xiaoxing looked at the two and watched them leave. "The two of them, it's reallyβ" A hint of weirdness flashed in his eyes, he had never thought about men and women in himself, but he still thought about some of his friends.
"Is the strength already so strong? It seems that I have to increase the intensity of my cultivation as well. Lu Xiaoxing thought as he walked out the door. On the bulletin board, the announcement of the next contest has been written on it. The next match between the two is the round of 32 and the round of 16, and General Rhea will attend and watch the game.
"Great, this is an opportunity!" Lu Xiaoxing was secretly happy in his heart and returned to the hotel.
There was still a week before the competition, and Lu Xiaoxing calmed down, on the one hand, to prepare for sending a letter to Leia, and on the other hand, to be able to better retreat and practice.
About five days have passed, Lu Xiaoxing has not been out once, and he is completely immersed in his own world. The vines on the windowsill that climbed up to the edge of the stage grew wildly due to the abundant natural energy around Lu Xiaoxing, and directly filled half of the room. Lu Xiaoxing condensed his cultivation in the baptism of the force of nature, and the gold lines on his forehead that originally stretched out from left to right and on the bridge of his nose were reunited into a gold ring, but this time the gold ring had more patterns.
On the sixth day, Lu Xiaoxing's eyes slowly opened, and the rich natural aura quietly dissipated, and his eyes were a little dry after many days of cultivation.
"Wow... This is..."Seeing that he was 'bound' by vines, Lu Xiaoxing couldn't cry or laugh.
He doesn't feel how hungry he is due to absorbing a lot of natural energy. Wandering around the city, Lu Xiaoxing picked out a few decent clothes, prepared some utensils to be used tomorrow, and stored them in the storage ring. After the purchase, he saw a piece of clothing in a clothing store, saying that it was a dress, but in fact it was nothing more than a familiar black cloak. Lu Xiaoxing saw that there was no one in the store, so he walked in and took a look.
"Whatever clothes customers want, I'm not a luxury shop, but it's a perfect shop. A fat man greeted with a smile, and it seemed that he was the owner.
"How about this?" What made Lu Xiaoxing curious was that such a cloak was placed on the shelf at the door of the store.
"The guest is young, I don't know..."The shopkeeper just opened his mouth to ask, Lu Xiaoxing looked at him and raised his eyebrows.
"Ah, it's me who is too talkative, and I'd like to give you a nine-percent discount as an apology. The fat shopkeeper said, seeing Lu Xiaoxing nodded, he began to introduce the dress. "The reason why I say that I am a perfect shop is not in vain, this cloak belongs to one of the highest types of clothing, ,βββ Traveler Clothes. The long-distance clothing is not just as simple as its literal meaning, it is made by the owner's relatives before leaving, and has an excellent effect of resisting the harsh environment. β
"So what?" Although Lu Xiaoxing was a little curious in his heart, he still looked indifferent.
"Do you know the number one assassin of the Martial Spirit Empire?" the fat shopkeeper pretended to be mysterious.
"That was hundreds of years ago. "Lu Xiaoxing has heard a little from the history books, an assassination master who assassinated three high-ranking generals of the evil prison during the melee of the Three Realms and retreated.
"Yes. The fat shopkeeper was amazed that such a young man knew about it. His mother was one and the only one in the continent who made more than 100 pieces of clothing in her lifetime. And this garment is the main piece of a set of travel clothes that she has made for her son with all her skills, and its function is so wonderful that if you can get it, it can show off its wonders. β
How do you say this? Lu Xiaoxing asked.
"No, no, no, you can buy it voluntarily. The fat shopkeeper said.
"Okay, then why only the main parts?" Lu Xiaoxing touched the Yuanxing clothes, and it felt surprisingly good.
"The copy is for the old lady's daughter-in-law, but its whereabouts are still unknown. The fat shopkeeper expressed helplessness.
"Then you see, how tall I am now, I'm afraid it's hard to wear such a big travel clothes. Lu Xiaoxing said.
"You can save it for later. This dress has been hanging for more than 100 years because no one knows the goods, and I really don't want to keep this dress to you. The fat shopkeeper said embarrassedly.
β...... Well, how much. "Lu Xiaoxing has a lot of spare money on hand, so he can have a luxury.
"Twenty thousand gold coins. The fat shopkeeper also glanced at Lu Xiaoxing a few times when he said the price, for fear that the price would be too high.
"Twenty thousand?" Lu Xiaoxing laughed in his heart, if it was really a divine robe, I was afraid that I would not be able to buy it for millions.
"You think it's expensive? I've been in a hurry lately, so... It can't go down any more. "The fat shopkeeper has a dry face.
"I see, 20,000 is 20,000. That white shirt is also good, I want it too, it's 30,000, put it away. Lu Xiaoxing waved his hand to pile up a pile of gold coins on the table, and his clothes were put into the ring.
"Thank you and welcome back again. The fat shopkeeper was relieved to see Lu Xiaoxing go away, he was so eager to sell this long-distance clothes not because it was a fake, but because there was a curse in the clothes, a blood curse that the assassination master gave him before he died to protect his mother's relics. The curse tormented the shopkeeper for eight years, which is why he was so impatient to dispose of this priceless travel suit.
"It's almost done, you can go back. Lu Xiaoxing had already extended his spiritual power into the ring after thinking about it, and when he inspected the goods, there seemed to be a strange power in the pile of clothes, but it was inconvenient for him to release his natural perception at will on the street, so he didn't check it more.
When he arrived at the hotel, he took out the belongings one by one. The golden ring appeared, and the perception was fully opened, and the brutal and cold energy fluctuations on the black far-away clothes were revealed.
"I knew that cheap was not good, and it was troublesome. The power of this thing seems to be difficult to detect, which means that I can't compete with it. While he was thinking, the cursed energy on Yuanxing's clothes took advantage of his distraction and stretched out a tentacle to invade his consciousness, and Lu Xiaoxing's eyes suddenly darkened.
Then it was as if it was a memory, and the fragments of the memory flashed little by little.
"Wu'er, go. Kill the intruder!" a silver-haired old woman handed a brocade box to the man in front of her, who seemed to be in his last few years.
"Yes, Mother. The man took the box and opened it, it was two black long-distance clothes, one left and one right, and at the same time as the man opened it, the old woman sat on the recliner and lay down slowly.
"Mother, what a good dress! Xiaoling and I must be for you..."The man raised his head, but found that the old woman was lying there peacefully, lifeless. "Mother!" the man wailed and threw himself down.
The picture in front of Lu Xiaoxing's eyes changed, and it turned into two black shadows, a man and a woman, jumping among the trees.
"Xiaoling!" the man said, and the two of them pulled on the hood of their travel clothes together and hid in the forest.
The army of black tents was stationed in this wood, and in a large tent in the center, three zombie-faced people were drinking and laughing.
"Haha, it's better to be in the Lamp Spirit Continent, one day is a real day, unlike that ghost place, one day will consume two days of my life force, it's really more world than the world, it's infuriating!" said one of the generals.
"But isn't it, even if we have a lifespan of two hundred years, we can't afford to toss! Unlike the Evil Emperor, who has an infinite life, he has ruled the evil prison for thousands of years without losing a single flowery hair. Another general said.
"It would be nice if we could learn someday, well......" said the third general.
"Poof!" a sharp blade stabbed out of the man's abdomen, sending out a trickle of dark blood.
"Who!" The impaled general didn't care about the injury, his body shook, and the person behind him with a knife was shocked into a black mist. "Clone, assassin!" the general immediately stood up and looked around warily, and the other two also glanced around the account. The terrifying energy field was all over the account, and a figure had to be revealed.
Take off the hood, it is the middle-aged man.
"I thought it was someone from the Holy Realm, but I didn't expect that someone from the Lantern Spirit Continent would also carry out assassination. Said the head general.
"They don't pose a threat, so deal with it. When one of the people next to him spoke, he stepped in front of the middle-aged man and grabbed the middle-aged man with one hand. The moment his hand cut into the middle-aged man's chest, when he sensed that something was wrong, the middle-aged man had already grabbed him with both hands.
"Shadow Blade Strangling. The middle-aged man spoke softly, "Bang, click, click." Three identical middle-aged men stabbed daggers into the general's waist. "Bang!" sounded, and the middle-aged man who had caught the general earlier exploded into black smoke, as if he was a doppelganger.
The smoke rose for a minute, and a blade shadow burst out of the smoke, and the dagger flew straight to the general's neck.
"Shadow Blade, Shadow Blade. The three doppelgangers whispered in unison. The black ribbon climbed up the dagger and wrapped around the general, who wanted to resist but found that he couldn't move. And all of this happened in just a minute.
The general saw that his subordinates were in danger, but he was helpless about it, so he had to hold the mentality of exchanging one life for another, and raised his left palm. When the general's head hit the ground, a purple thunder shot out of the general's hand, and the four middle-aged people who were hit turned into smoke one after another, and they were doppelgangers again.
"Plop. Just as the general focused his attention on the front, another general behind him was actually cut his throat. And this time, the middle-aged man with a hood did not hesitate to rush to the general.
The general's frightened assassination skills were superb, and he released a purple electric domain, although the middle-aged man was entangled in thousands of electric arcs, but they were all blocked by the Yuanxing clothes, like an insulator.
The general sighed secretly, and pulled out a purple electric spear with both hands, and as soon as the electric spear appeared, the electric domain was weakened a lot.
It was when the two of them were about to get close that a thin dagger was inserted into the back of the general's heart.
