Chapter Twenty-One: The Rose of Goting
Rest Island, Arena.
With the unloading of water and wood, the buffer of thunder and fire, and the shield of earth, this burst of steel arrow feathers was easily resisted, and the young man in the arena brought the Five Elements Spell to the extreme.
A young woman in the audience wearing a brown crop top and a high ponytail looked at Qiu Xiao intently, her expression showed approval, and said to the entourage beside her: "Do you think this kid can win?" She took a sip of the goblet on the round table on her left with two fingers.
Although the young man in the field is skilled, it can be seen so far that he has done his best, and Soka, the ability to use is less than thirty percent, and the entourage said categorically: "It must be Soka who wins." ”
"It would be a shame to die." The young woman shook her head slightly.
"What does the master mean? ...”
"Well, I'm going to save him."
After speaking, the young woman took a sip of the rest of the wine in the cup and stood up.
At this time, Soka finished casting his steel arrow feathers and swooped towards Qiu Xiao to launch a new round of attacks, an orange light flashed in his palm, turning into a single-edged light knife, Soka held the light knife with both hands and slashed Qiu Xiao directly with the momentum of the dive.
"It's up to you whether you live or die."
Qiu Xiao shouted: "Gluttony! ”
The soul ring worn on the index finger shone brightly, frantically absorbing the gluttonous remnants of the power in the body, a scarlet spiritual energy wrapped Qiu Xiao, the spiritual energy turned into a fierce beast, and the angry eyes roared towards Soka, the sound wave shook the blades scattered on the ground trembled, and the noisy audience instantly lost its voice, and no one dared to speak anymore, just stared at this scene in amazement.
The scarlet beast wrapped around Qiu Xiao swung its claws at Soka, and the light knife slashed down, Soka gritted his teeth and arms, and did not forget to praise: "Boy, you have some ability!" ”
Click-
There was a crack in the scarlet spirit energy, Qiu Xiao panicked, he would definitely not be able to hold it if he continued to stalemate like this, the opponent was too strong, and it seemed that he hadn't used his full strength yet...
That's when it happened.
The ground grew and spread countless vines at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and the buds on the vines were in full bloom, bright red roses, and the vines swirled around Sokka, first the huge wings, then his limbs, and his body, and the vines held Sokka tightly in mid-air.
"Who?!" Soka turned his head suddenly, who was so bold as to dare to meddle?
"Hi~" The young woman greeted Soka.
The audience in the auditorium was also surprised, who would interfere in the duel of the leader of the Fallen Angel Corps at this time? Their eyes focused on the young woman, and a few people recognized it, this was the young master of the Caohai Shepherd, the northern power of the Yuan Zhou Continent, Jiang Ni, who had the title of "Gaoting Rose".
"Jiang Ni.." Soka's expression was a little complicated, he didn't know what the relationship between the young man in front of him and the "Gao Ting Rose" Jiang Ni was.
"He's your friend?" Soka asked.
"Yes, can you give me a face and let him go." Jiang Ni withdrew her spiritual power, and the vines scattered weakly on the ground, and then quickly became transparent until they disappeared.
"Well, since it's your friend, of course I'll give this face."
Soka's wings contracted back to his back, slowly landed in mid-air, walked in front of Qiu Xiao, stretched out a hand, and said to Qiu Xiao, "Get up." ”
Qiu Xiao was a little at a loss, but he still stood up with Soka's hand, "This is what reconciliation means, right?" He thought to himself.
"Didn't scare you, did you?" Jiang Ni came over and joked, and reached out to pat Soka on the back, and said to Qiu Xiao: "This is Soka, the leader of the famous Fallen Angel Corps. ”
Soka smiled reluctantly, waved his hand, and said, "It's just a name." ”
"Uh... No, I'm fine. Qiu Xiao was very puzzled why Jiang Ni stopped Soka from saving herself, the two obviously didn't know each other and were just strangers, but she claimed to be her friend.
Jiang Ni remembered something, turned to Soka and said, "Ah yes, Soka, I will compensate you for the tiger-man hybrid who was stoned to death by this friend of mine." ”
Soka smiled and said, "No need, it's just a monster." ”
If you accept compensation, you will be a complete fool, compared to gold, human favor is more important, not to mention the human favor of the young master of the grass sea herd.
"Ha, okay, then I'll lead my little brother first." Saying that, Jiang Ni took Qiu Xiao's hand and prepared to leave with Qiu Xiao.
Soka nodded at the two of them by default, and when the two turned around, he glanced at the mercenaries, and the mercenaries guarding around the arena made way for the two, Jiang Ni and Qiu Xiao walked up the stone steps, and the spectators on both sides of the exit road turned their heads to look at the two of them, and they were talking.
Not far away, Jiang Ni's entourage wearing a wind towel walked over quickly and followed behind Jiang Ni.
The three of them walked out of the arena together.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Hmm.." Jiang Ni thought for a while and responded, "Cherish talents, is this reason okay?" ”
"Forget it, thank you anyway, otherwise I might have died in the hands of that person, I will remember this kindness, and I will repay it when I have the opportunity in the future!"
"Well, I'm Jiang Ni of the Grass Sea Shepherd, what about you, who are you working for?"
"Hong Tianguo's nobody, Qiu Xiao."
"Haha, you're too modest, I saw you fight with Soka before, and it's the first time I've seen Soka being beaten up like a dog eating, hahaha." Jiang Ni then asked, "What kind of spell did you use when you came to the arena?" I saw a bolt of lightning fall, and then you appeared. ”
"That's a long story..."
......
Yuxin Continent, Chaoge City.
The long night came and the black curtain was lowered, and the sixteen Assassins followed the information to find the hotel where Fumihiko, the Grand Commander of the Bishu Kingdom, was staying.
The assassination operation went unhindered, and the guards inside the house were weak, and the defenses were easily disarmed by the Assassins.
The wooden door was quietly pushed open, and the Assassins poured into the room, swords shining with cold light, stabbing at the quilted "man" on the bed.
This feeling is not like a stab in the flesh! There is no blood... No shouting...
One person stepped forward and lifted the quilt, and the one wrapped in it was not the leader of the Bi Wei Kingdom at all... It's a scarecrow!
"Not good!"
"Hit the trick.."
The people's backs were cold, and the cold hairs stood on end.
Wei Qing rushed out of the door and was about to evacuate, when a bell rang in the hotel, followed by a shout of killing from all directions.
"Take down the Assassin!"
"Don't let any of them run!"
The Assassins whispered to each other, and then quickly jumped to the roof, where many well-armed soldiers had been ambushed, raising their crossbows and shooting at the Assassins.
The crossbow arrows hit like a thunderbolt raindrops, Wei Qing pulled out the two daggers pinned to the belt, the daggers exuded a cold air, she flexibly blocked the crossbow arrows that came to her, the moment the blade touched the crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows became frosty and could be broken, and the frozen crossbow arrows shattered and poured all over the ground.
"Get out of the way!"
Not far away, on the roof, a person pushed away two soldiers with repeater crossbows, brandished a metal club and walked out, this person was wearing a beast's head and silver scale armor, and a scar on his face looked hideous from the top of his head to the right eye and then to the corner of his mouth, he came straight towards Wei Qing...
