Today's sun shines brighter than yesterday.

Continuing the concise style of the first day of the campaign, the selection on the second day directly began with the showdown between Li Xiaosen and Alpha.

But when people saw Li Xiaosen standing on the court to face Alpha, they were surprised.

Li Xiaosen's face was very bad.

One night, Li Xiaosen did not find a solution to the withering blade.

The sword spirit provided information about the ancient scholar Lars, which made Li Xiaosen think a lot, the question is what is the use of this information for the moment? No, the information about Lars, the possible relationship between the Demon Hunting City and the prehistoric ancient civilization, and how to remove the toxin of the Blighted Blade, is not helpful.

This is not the first time that Li Xiaosen has faced death so closely.

Except for the time when he didn't want to live at all when he first came to Earth, and the experience of really dying once in his previous life, this is the third time Li Xiaosen has faced the shadow of death.

Even when the challenge escalated, in the face of ten powerful blood clans, as well as the scholar-type powerhouse "Clavicle" of the Nayue Clan, Li Xiaosen did not feel that he was so close to death.

The key is that this withered blade is a poison at all, and Li Xiaosen is good at hard-core actual combat, but he is really at a loss for this kind of "soft knife".

"What's the matter with your face?" said Alpha on the other side with a frown.

"It's not about you. Li Xiaosen said.

Alpha seemed to think of something, and there was a look of shock in his eyes: "You actually ...... Hit the Blighted Blade? Yes, this is what it looks like to be hit by the Blight Curse! Are you crazy??"

In Alpha's view, being poisoned by the Blighted Blade, with Li Xiaosen's self-healing ability, is bound to die.

At this time, if you stay honestly, you may be able to survive for a while, but Li Xiaosen chooses to come to fight? When his own recovery power is completely destroyed, he still has to fight, isn't it looking for his own death?

Li Xiaosen himself also feels that his current decision may be looking for death.

But there's really no way around it.

In this world, in fact, not many people care about his life or death, Qin Lan doesn't care, she just wants to figure out the details of Long Wu now, Grayson doesn't care, he just wants to make sure that the guardian knight of the sea is clean and then lead the demon hunting city to launch a counterattack, the ocean doesn't care, everyone has their own things to do, and they don't care about others at all.

Li Xiaosen doesn't care about others, he doesn't care about his own life and death.

Li Xiaosen himself has his own things to do.

Under the distorted will, Li Xiaosen's killing intent towards Li Xiaoqian is unprecedentedly strong - this actually represents the deepest pure land in his heart, Li Xiaosen's true thoughts are: Before saving his sister, he can't die no matter what.

Li Xiaosen is a person who has died twice, so he can face the imminent death with a mentality beyond ordinary people's imagination.

But in fact, he is very afraid that he will die like this.

"I'm not here to die. Li Xiaosen looked at Alpha and said slowly. I said to myself one more sentence: "I'm here to survive!"

And in order to find a way to survive, Li Xiaosen must fight.

Because the overnight retreat has proven to be a dead end, the battle mage still has to find a way to survive in the battle.

Alpha looked at Li Xiaosen, the most arrogant and unscrupulous young man in the Demon Hunting City, and it was rare to be quiet, as if he wanted to get to know Li Xiaosen again.

After a moment, Alpha grinned, greedy and cruel, like a predator who sees injured prey!

Alpha doesn't care about fair play, there's never been a fair game between witchers and nocturnal bloods.

"I'm not going to show mercy. Alpha stared at Li Xiaosen and said with a cruel smile, "On the contrary, I will take advantage of your illness and kill you!"

Alpha shot.

He tore off his shirt casually, and his skinny pine-like upper body was covered with hunter tattoos. The silver bullet gun against the Moon Clan in his right hand, and the Bloodwood Cone against the Blood Clan in his left hand, are the most standard weapons of the Demon Hunter, and the quality is also very "standard", not a particularly great weapon like the Withered Blade, but the most ordinary Demon Hunter's weapon, no different.

This is Alpha's style, he is not conceited enough to think that he does not need top-notch weapons, but he has vowed not to rely on weapons until he sharpens his abilities to the extreme!

Alpha's figure disappeared into the field.

In fact, his speed has increased to the extreme, and most of the people present can't even see his form and position.

However, because they couldn't see clearly, the audience broke out into the most enthusiastic cheers and shouts!

"Shoot him!"

"Let this outsider know that our Demon Hunting City is really powerful!"

No matter what world it is, the world is the world, and the cruel nature is always there, it has never changed.

Standing in the position of Demon Hunting City, since you Li Xiaosen have the courage to come to our realm to participate in the selection, you must be mentally prepared to be killed!

As for whether you Li Xiaosen are in a bad state, whether you are injured, whether you have been plotted, and whether this competition is still fair...... Who cares about this?

Alpha shot hard.

On the first day of the trial, there was no test of attack power, and if there were, Li Xiaosen felt that this guy should be at least close to the level of a perfect score.

Alpha's figure continued to sweep past Li Xiaosen at a very high speed, and every time he flew by, it was a heavy blow with a wooden cone, interspersed with silver bullets from different distances, like a gradually formed network of firepower, and like a spider web, slowly winding around Li Xiaosen's body, wanting to entangle him to death.

In the first round of selection, the fastest alpha, the ability in actual combat, is a style of play that slowly kills the opponent with repeated high-speed attacks!

That's the style of Alpha.

He is very famous in Demon Hunting City, and in fact, he also has a lot of fame in the Fortress of Eternal Night. In the mouth of the Nightcrawler, Alpha is not Alpha, but a "web of death". Spider-King, this is Alpha's nickname among the Nightcrawlers.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Grayson suspended the selection three months ago, and after the arrival of Li Xiaosen, he restarted the selection, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Nightcrawler. ”

"As for the withered blade in this kid's body now, it should be the handiwork of Lord Rayla. ”

"But these ...... It has nothing to do with me!"

Alpha thought to himself.

As for the confrontation between Demon Hunter City and Nightcrawler, and the rivalry between the Mountain Sect and the Academy within the Daywalker Alliance, Alpha is actually not interested in it at all.

He only cares about his own personal combat power, and he wants to one day be able to take Skarna, Liuli, Yuhuayun, and Tang Xin...... Becoming the guardian knight of His Highness the Sea is just the first step on this path.

In the venue, the figure of Alpha pulled out countless shiny silk threads, crisscrossing and crisscrossing to build a three-dimensional network.

Li Xiaosen was at the center of this net, and gradually and completely submerged.

Until a certain moment, Alpha's figure reappeared in everyone's field of vision, and then he stared intently at the web in front of him, looked at Li Xiaosen who was trapped in the center through the web, raised his hand and held it, and said, "Spider Bondage." ”

As the words fell, the webs began to collapse inward.

The Demon Hunter is proficient in the killing of "points" and lacks the attack of "face", but Alpha uses his own way to point out the line and line the surface, and skillfully transforms the Witcher's shortcomings into his own strengths.

"It seems that the toxin influence of the Withered Blade still limits Li Xiaosen's strength after all. Grayson stood on the broadcast platform and shook his head, "I thought too much, I had a glimmer of hope......

Grayson didn't care about Li Xiaosen's life or death, but just now he heard that Li Xiaosen was on the field, and Grayson really had a glimmer of hope: maybe Li Xiaosen could continue to shine in the selection before he was poisoned, in that case, Grayson would still have a chance to continue to observe the reactions of the other four Demon Hunter City candidates, and determine who was the person sent by the Nightkin in the end.

Now it seems that I am still thinking too much.

Li Xiaosen's aggressive, thousand-illusion scholar...... The ability that should be brought into play has not been brought into play, and it is completely passively beaten.

The key is that under the influence of the Blighted Blade, Li Xiaosen's current injuries cannot be recovered by vomiting blood healing, and the result of forcibly using the recovery ability will only stimulate the cursed power of the Withered Blade and make him die faster.

By now, the ocean didn't need to ask, and he could probably guess what happened last night, especially when he saw the happy, crazy, and even uncomfortable expression on Rayla's wrinkled face not far away: "Withered Blade......" The ocean turned his gaze and looked at Li Xiaosen in the field again like a flower in a storm, and shook his head.

"It's a bit of a shame. The girl thought to herself, "I would have liked to observe it again." ”

Like Alpha, Ocean doesn't really care about the academy mountain sect, and for her, only the most suitable person can be her guardian knight. As for what kind of profession and background this person is, she doesn't care.

If Li Xiaosen can really go to the end, the ocean will gladly accept it.

But since Li Xiaosen has been poisoned by the Withered Blade, the ocean will not pay much attention to him, but it is just a pity, that's all.

"I didn't expect this showdown that made everyone talk about it last night to end like this. On the sidelines, Eliza, who was watching the game, sighed, turned her head to Balu and Skarna and smiled, "So it seems that the third round of the final is one of Skarna, Alpha, and me and Balu, to compete for the final victory." ”

Balu frowned and said: "I feel a little embarrassed, if you fight in the open, Alpha should be able to win, and it seems that we are very inferior to Demon Hunting City." ”

Eliza scoffed, "Is the poisonous tongue Balu so naïve? ”

Eliza and Balu have different opinions, but in their minds, this competition is over. While the two were arguing, they were actually silently adjusting their state, because the next thing was for them to play.

Skarna stood nearby, but his eyes were not on the field.

Scana stared at one spot in the auditorium.

At the end of his line of sight, Lin Wan stood with her classmates in Demon Hunting City, looking at Li Xiaosen, who was contracted and entangled by endless networks and silk threads in the field.

In Lin Wan's eyes, there was actually a sadness and sadness that Skarna had never seen before.

"What's going on...... Skarna frowned. In the process of pursuing Lin Wan before, he had never seen such a side, and he always thought that it was a girl who was always as light as an orchid.

The thread shrinks to the extreme, turning into a shiny cocoon.

Alpha breathed a sigh of relief, and his handsome face became very pale, and this trick was not a small cost for him.

Lin Wan shook her head, turned around and left, she has changed a lot, but in the deepest part of her heart, she still has a strange and complex emotion for Li Xiaosen. However, Li Xiaosen is defeated now, and he will die soon, Lin Wan is powerless to reverse it, and he can't bear to look at it again.

The light cocoon was silent.

It was in stark contrast to the scene that erupted in loud cheers.

Qin Lan is communicating with Grayson: "Li Xiaosen is defeated, the agreement between you and me ......"

The world is sometimes so cold, but you can't blame it, because everyone has their own thoughts, and no one is obliged to care about the lives of others.

There are also people who care about Li Xiaosen's life and death, such as Lin Wan, but all Lin Wan can do is to warn in advance last night.

The person who cares about Li Xiaosen the most, for Li Xiaosen, even does not hesitate to twist his will to turn him into an ancestor killer who only hopes to die at the hands of his brother to ensure that his brother can live well, but he is the carrier of the ancestor's will, not only the person Li Xiaosen wants to kill now, but also the public enemy of the Daywalker Alliance all over the world.

"Okay, sleep, stop struggling, get a good night's sleep, and everything will pass. The voice of the withered sword spirit, like a demon's whisper, kept ringing in Li Xiaosen's heart.

Li Xiaosen's whole body was injured, and every silk thread just now was actually a sharp attack.

Originally, with the third level against the sixth level of Alpha, when Li Xiaosen was in good condition, he had to go all out to be able to win.

Fighting in the case of poisoning, is it really still ...... Is it too reluctant?

"Sleep, sleep, yes! The sword spirit was still murmuring.

Li Xiaosen only felt tired and wanted to die.

What neither he nor the sword spirit knew was that the black-clothed Li Xiaosen, who had not appeared for a long time, was not far away, watching quietly, with a kind of indifferent scrutiny of an observer.

Alpha's heavy blows, coupled with the continuous wear and tear of the withering power, now it seems that there is no one to help Li Xiaosen.

Not many people even wanted to help him.

This is probably the so-called loneliness.

I didn't expect to experience it again.

In a previous life, when you died, it was like this.

After coming to Earth, I originally planned to die, until Li Xiaoqian's girl...... Wait, no, what does it have to do with Li Xiaoqian's container? She's the one I'm going to kill right now. In a daze, Li Xiaosen felt a little weird, why did the person he wanted to kill be the same as the person who made him feel that he was not alone? Is there any problem between this...... Li Xiaosen thought.

But it's really too tiring.

I don't have the strength anymore, I can't think about it until—

Li ...... Small...... Mori ......!" It seems that someone is shouting, but it is not the sword spirit.

"Li-Xiao-Sen——!" The voice was far away and a little blurry, as if it was passed from something else.

"Li!Xiao!Sen!You may not fucking die like this, get up, get up!!" At the venue, everyone looked at Tanasha who was screaming like crazy with tears on her face, "Didn't you say you were going to kill your sister Li Xiaoqian......? Killing my sister to preach such an exciting thing, I really want to see it, you can do it for me. ”

Tanasha and Li Xiaoqian have many differences, such as the same age, Li Xiaoqian will blush when she hears a boy say two yellow jokes, but Tanasha is already a fully mature woman in some aspects.

But Tanasha and Li Xiaoqian have a lot of similarities.

They all have a sense of justice, and they will cook food for Li Xiaosen, as well as ...... They are very enthusiastic, even in this cold, cruel world, in this seemingly colorful but actually chaotic era, their hearts are still full of enthusiasm and warmth.

"I don't know what happened, but if I don't do something at this time, what kind of friend am I?" Xu Wensheng muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, the lingering pressure of people in the away stadium was finally crumpled hard by him, and he threw it on the ground like toilet paper.

Xu Wensheng suddenly stood up and said loudly to all the members of the cultivation branch: "Everyone shout with me, let these guys in Demon Hunting City see, not only they will shout!" After speaking, Xu Wensheng took the lead in rushing at the light cocoon in the field, and shouted hoarsely and almost broke his voice: "Li Xiaosen, you fucking hurry up for Lao Tzu! Get up!!"

Maybe it was because of Tanasha's snot and tears on her face but still crying and shouting, or maybe it was inspired by Xu Wensheng's passionate and rude mouth, in short, the people in the cultivation branch all stood up at this time and made their own voices-

"Li Xiaosen!"

"Come on!"

"Get up !!"

"Hehehe, hehehe......" Rayla was in the stands, watching this scene, but smiled happily, she liked to hear this word, doesn't this mean that the little ghost in the field has now fallen down?

Hit by the withering blade, and bound by the spider web of the alpha, and still want to get up? Dream! Hahaha!

Rayla smiled like a child who had been given a toy, but the innocent cheer on her wrinkled old face made people shudder and even a little disgusting.

Until a voice suddenly sounded......

Poof.

It should have been a very inconspicuous sound, and in the noisy environment of the scene, no one would hear it at all.

But on the contrary, this voice was not only heard by Rayla, but also by everyone present, up to the level of Qin Lan and Grayson, down to the level of professionals, and even those with ability!

The smile on Rayla's face stiffened when she heard this.

Because that's the sound of a cocoon.

A blood-stained, pale hand burst through the cocoon of light and stretched out.

At this moment, Qin Lan and Grayson, who were discussing with each other, Rayla, who was still laughing happily before, Lin Wan, who turned around and was about to leave, Skarna, who was thoughtful after seeing Lin Wan leave, the ocean that fell on Skarna again after seeing Li Xiaosen's defeat, Eliza and Baru, who began to do the last warm-up before going on the court, and Golden Flame Mouse and Thomson, who were laughing heartily, all turned their eyes to the cocoon of light that had broken a hole.

Everyone's reaction was the same, that is, they couldn't believe it!

"It's not over yet......"

Li Xiaosen gritted his teeth, and even bit out blood, like a small beast born from an eggshell, and like a beast struggling to break free from the shackles of the cage, tearing open the cocoon with difficulty and decisively, and biting it with his teeth if he couldn't tear it with his hands.

"It's not over yet!!"
