Chapter 11 Murder by the Sword
'Crackle!'
Then there was the sound of objects being burned by fire, from the place where the fists of the two warring sides collided.
All the onlookers were shocked to see that Akkad, who had always had the upper hand, suddenly froze with a fierce and ferocious expression, as if he had encountered an accident that made him unbelievable.
The 'crackling' sound came from Akkad's fist.
His solid and powerful fist suddenly became so weird, burning from the inside out, and in an instant, cracked scorch marks appeared.
Akkadian's violent face was covered with beads of sweat in an instant. You can see that he is suffering a lot.
Obviously, the result of the final blow on both sides was actually Akkadian who fell to the disadvantage, and it seemed that the damage suffered was very severe.
This was unexpected.
The crowd watching the battle, including Tatu and Xi'an, who was in the ranks of slaves and hated by the other party, were both dumbfounded and completely overwhelmed.
No one knows why such an unexpected result occurred.
In fact, earlier, in the face of Akkadian's surging power and the punch that was gaining momentum, Fang Di's first reaction was to prepare to dodge.
But at that moment, there was a current of heat in his body, which sensed the coming crisis, and swam through his body for a week between breaths, and finally naturally rushed out of his fist and met Akkadian.
This is when the two sides collided head-on.
The result of the collision, even Fang Di himself was surprised, the heat emitted from his body was extremely weak, but it was like Xu Weineng, thrashing the ferocious Akkad in one fell swoop and turning the tide of the battle.
In Akkad's feelings, at this moment, his body was like being invaded by an irresistible magma, and he felt as if he had been thrown into a pot of oil, and he was in pain and almost fainted.
Akkad was sweating like rain all over his body, and even his senses such as eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were affected, and he could not hear, speak, or even scream.
If it was according to Fang Di's character and style, at this time, he should have grasped the opportunity when the opponent lost the ability to resist, stepped forward to attack, and strive to expand the results of the battle and completely destroy the opponent.
But at this time, the priest's shouting had already sounded, and Fang Di's thoughts were spinning, realizing that the consequences of disobeying the priest's orders in the current situation would be unpredictable and not worth the risk, so he chose to stand where he was and did not continue to attack Akkad.
After breathing time, Akkad began to feel the fiery strength in his body wane, and slowly regained his mobility. But the hand that he collided with Fang Di seemed to have been scalded in hot oil, and the scene was miserable, not to mention the scorched flesh and skin, and still emitting light smoke.
Fang Di heard the priest's shouting and stood still, but it didn't mean that he let Akkad go.
At the moment when Akkadian regained his ability to move, Fang Di turned his head to look at him at the right time, his eyes shooting out naked contempt and disdain.
This was exactly the way Akkadian had looked at Fang Di before, and now it was completely reversed.
Fang Di's gaze was looked at by Arcade.
It was especially unbearable for the violent Akkad to be ridiculed by the object of his contempt, and he let out a low roar, his eyes were fierce, and his face was hideous, almost mad.
Suddenly, Arcade swung out another intact giant palm and slapped his head at Fang Di.
"Don't you hear me when I tell you to stop?" said the priest's indifferent voice from the stage. At the same time, a black yin wind suddenly swept through the void, enveloping Akkadian in it.
When the yin wind disappeared, the majestic Akkadian was also enveloped by the black wind, and there was no trace of it, only a miserable scream lingered.
He had followed in the footsteps of the previous defeated slaves and became a tonic for the priests.
For the move that succeeded in arousing the anger of Akkadian and thus indirectly getting rid of this powerful opponent, in the environment where it was either you die or I die, Fang Di did not feel guilty, and stood still with a calm face.
Fang Di's actions were seen by the old man on the stage, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes that suddenly shone brightly, and it disappeared as soon as it appeared.
On the stage, the voice of the white-clothed priest without a change in tone sounded again, and he said lightly: "Akkad is stupid and ignorant, and he is innocent of death, this last competition, Fang Di won!"
The countless slaves and soldiers who were watching around recovered from the series of shocks.
Everyone's gaze towards Fang Di was implied with fear, which was completely different from before. Fang Di's previous punch containing the power of flames was far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and human beings are accustomed to having awe and fear of things that cannot be understood.
At this time, the eyes of the audience were all focused on Fang Di, even the two priests on the stage, as well as the old man and the bright girl.
Among them, the expressions of the two priests were the most special, their eyes were unfathomable, and they stared at Fang Di with a cold and cold face, as if they wanted to see him through.
Fang Di, who was being watched, suddenly had a terrible thought that no secret could escape the other party's gaze.
The audience saw the solemn expressions of the two priests, and at the same time quieted down, and the audience could hear the needles falling.
After a while, the slightly taller priest said in a deep voice: "Where did you get the red mang that you punched out with your fist earlier? Remember, if you don't tell half of the truth, you will die in an instant?"
Fang Di made a dazed and somewhat uneasy expression, and responded:
"I don't know why there is a stream of heat pouring out of my fist in a crisis, which has never happened before. Maybe it's ・・・・・・ it's the favor of the gods!"
"Nonsense! How can the gods favor you, an outsider? Your Majesty, the Priest of Kai, who thinks that this man must be an evil being who is spurned by the gods, should be put to death immediately. It was Tatu who spoke with a gloomy face, and fell into the ground.
He had seen with his own eyes the destructive power that Fang Di had previously struck, and the power of the blow was terrifying, and even the powerful Akkadian could not resist it.
He clearly realized that if Fang Di did not die today, the next day would be the day of his own catastrophe, so he had to put Fang Di to death, seize the opportunity, and speak out immediately.
"Shut up, what do I do, do I still need you to teach?" Tatu's remark interrupted the priest's muttering, and was unceremoniously reprimanded.
The priest turned his gaze to Tatu and asked, "Are you blind? Can't you see the faint power of the sun hidden in the red rays he struck earlier? Is there any person who has been spurned by the gods who can emit the power of the sun god's fire? You say that he is an evil being, that is, he is doubting the great sun god, and he is looking for death?"
Tatu trembled all over, and his face was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, not even daring, and seeing that the priest would no longer look at him, as if he had been pardoned by the emperor, he stood up and retreated silently, and did not dare to speak again.
The gaze of the two priests turned back to Fang Di, and one of them said coldly, "So, you have no idea why you have such power?"
Fang Di said categorically: "Yes, Xiaomin is willing to swear by the gods, and he doesn't know why he emitted red flame power. ”
"Okay, then would you like to go back to the sacrificial house with us and become a member of my Egyptian sacrificial court?" the two priests' faces suddenly changed, and for the first time they showed a calm expression, and the other asked.
Before the priest could finish speaking, there was an uproar around him.
It is important to know that the sacrificial house is the most mysterious and sacred place in Egypt, where the priest communicates with the gods and serves the gods, and guides Egypt through the enlightenment of the gods. Among them, the high priest was so high that even His Royal Highness Pharaoh, who was known as the son of the gods, paid great respect to him.
If Fang Di can enter the sacrificial courtyard, in the eyes of the spectators, it will be equivalent to one step to the sky.
Considering that even if these two priests had other purposes, they were in a form that could not be refused, Fang Di made an inexplicable look of surprise on his face, and was about to say yes.
But another voice suddenly sounded, unceremoniously interrupted: "Wait a minute!"
(I saw the reaction of some book friends, saying that the dialogue of the characters in the book lacks Egyptian characteristics, explaining, it is not impossible to write Egyptian characteristics, before I wrote the book, I looked up some words of ancient Egypt in detail, such as their first and auxiliary ministers are called 'Visir', and the ancient Egyptians called their country Kmt, which means 'black earth'.)
Their main unit of capacity is henu, and the units of weight are called 'deben' and 'qedet', which if written in the original meaning, would have a special and Egyptian flavor, but it would have a great impact on the fluency of reading, and people could not understand it at first sight.
So things like that have to be converted, written in our words, it seems that there is no obstacle, please understand!)
