For the next day, Zuo Chi did not go out again, but stayed in the tent and waited for the tournament to start.

Razor had been here before, and he wanted to ask what Zuoike was going to do next.

"Attend the jousting tournament and go to Winterclaw."

"Huh?" Hearing Zuo Chi's answer, Lei Ze's eyes instantly widened, and he looked at Zuo Chi with a shocked expression.

Whether it was participating in the martial arts tournament or going to the Claws of Winter, it was a little beyond his perception as an old man.

"Zuo Chi, don't be impulsive, the people who participated in the tournament were the most powerful warriors of Freljord, ordinary people like us"

Zuo Chi chuckled and shook his head: "Just look at the gap between yourself and others, maybe if I behave well, I can say a few words to Ash, and let her accept your clan." ”

"This"

Lei Ze was silent at first, then held Zuo Chi's arm and said, "Zuo Chi, don't force it, you must focus on your own safety." Even if I don't succeed, I'll go and ask my mother Ash personally. ”

After persuading Zuo Chi for a while, Lei Ze saw that he had no intention of giving up, so he had to leave after explaining a few words about the meeting place the next day.

Zuo Chi looked at the little old man who was still thinking about him at this time, and couldn't help but smile lightly.

A day later, just as it was getting dark, the Avarosa tribe was bustling with activity.

Almost all of the warriors who were going to participate in the jousting tournament changed into their most proud clothes and hurried towards the center of the Alvarosa tribe.

They all come from different parts of Freljord, and they all represent the clan behind them.

Today, everyone has only one goal: to take the challenger out at all costs, and even if they can't win the fight, they must bring out their best self.

Although it was a tournament, everyone also understood that the ultimate purpose of the tournament was to recruit a blood alliance for the war mother Ash.

Ash's will is what counts.

If they lose, but perform really well and win Ash's favor, they can still be the biggest winners!

Zuo Chi also stepped out of his tent and walked towards the center of the Avarosa tribe with Razor and the others.

Since yesterday, a towering ring has been erected there, and there are hundreds of seats under the ring.

In the bitter cold wind, the rising sun struggled to break through the snow curtain and hit everyone with a thin light.

When Zuo Chi and the others came to the bottom of the ring, it was already full of people, and everyone's eyes were on the front, where there was a wooden house with flickering figures.

It was Ash's room, and it was the ultimate goal of everyone at the Blood Pact Conference.

"Squeak~"

Not long after, the door to the room was slowly pushed open, and a piece of Ash and her war sacrifice appeared in front of them with an ice-blue cloak on her shoulder.

Just as Ash appeared, the atmosphere in the stadium instantly stirred, and people's eyes followed Ash, chanting Ash's name.

Unlike yesterday, today's Ash changed her lean short skirt from yesterday and put on a long color-blocked dress of ice blue and white, because she didn't wear a cloak anymore, her white hair fluttered in the wind, setting off her skin even fairer.

If yesterday's outfit was typical of Freljord's fighting style, today's style is more formal and elegant.

Sitting down in the seat above the ring, Ash's expression was serious.

After all, she is the war mother of the clan, and she naturally has to maintain the majesty of the war mother in front of a group of followers.

Slowly raising his hand and pressing down, the shouts in the crowd gradually faded, and Ash's eyes scanned the crowd.

Looking at those warriors with hot eyes, Ash actually had a lot of pressure in his heart, because these people all represented the clan behind them, and once they didn't handle today's affairs well, the Avarosa tribe would fall into a situation from which they could never recover.

However, when Ash remembered the figure that had been in her room the night before, her heart gradually settled.

That figure always gave Ash a great sense of security, and he would always show up when Ash needed to help Ash through difficult times.

However, when Ash's gaze swept over the crowd, looking for the figure, Ash found that the figure was just bowing its head and not looking at her.

She pursed her lips slightly, and a look of loss flashed through Ash's eyes, but she quickly hid it.

Looking at the Frost Sacrifice on the side, Ash whispered, "Let's get started." ”

At the behest of his mother, the Frost Priest, dressed in a fur shawl and holding a strange cane, raised his hands in the air, and the cane began to glow with a glowing icy blue light.

"Ainevia, great god of ice and snow, we follow your will and follow your guidance, and pray that you may take refuge in the tribe of Avarosa for eternity."

The frost sacrifice was low and distant, and after praying to the god of ice and snow, Anivia, as usual, he went straight to the point.

"Warriors, please step into the ring. There are no rules for today's tournaments, but you must not harm your opponent's life when you are sure to win. The Mother of War will watch your battles throughout and choose one of the best performers to be her blood alliance. ”

The Frost Rite does not say that the winner of the tournament will become Ash's blood alliance, but that Ash will choose one of those who perform well.

In this way, the excitement of the battle will undoubtedly go up a notch.

However, although the Frost Sacrifice did not say anything, everyone also understood that only the strongest person was the most qualified to become Ash's Blood Alliance!

"Let's go!"

After the last sentence of the Frost Sacrifice was spoken, the atmosphere in the arena was completely ignited.

In the crowd, everyone clenched their weapons and looked at the ring in front of them with fiery eyes.

"Since no one is on, then I'll come first!"

At this moment, a rough shout sounded in the crowd, and a figure jumped into the ring.

It was a strong man shirtless and armed with a sword.

"I'm Hayden of the Xueqing Clan, who fights me!"

Hayden's gaze swept over the crowd below, and the iron ring on the broadsword in his hand rattled.

At the moment when Hayden's voice fell, another figure also jumped into the ring.

In this way, the competition kicked off completely.

Although these people are not of the Ice Bloodline and are not Ice Born, they have been able to survive the extreme cold of Freljord and become the most powerful warriors in their clan, and each of them has a strong physique and superb fighting skills.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

The sound of flesh colliding is dull and shocking, and the battle in the ring is full of raw bloody beauty.

Zuo Chi sat next to Lei Ze and his people, unlike Lei Ze and the others who were always raising their arms and shouting, Zuo Chi just looked at the ring in front of him with a flat eye.

Although the battle in the ring is just as exciting, it still can't cause too many waves in Zuo Chi's heart, which has been exposed to too many demigod-level battles.

After what happened the day before yesterday, Zuochi no longer had a reason to stay in the Avarosa clan, so he was going to help Ash solve the matter of the Blood Alliance and open the skin system, and then go to the Claws of Winter to find a way to help Sejuani realize her dream.

Winterclaw's territory is located to the west of Freljord, and the Ice God Anivia's Ice Mountain is also located to the west of Freljord.

Anivia, the god of ice and snow, is in charge of the ice and snow and the cycle of life and death in Freljord, and has a relatively friendly attitude towards the human race.

Zuo Chi had long heard of this ancient god who was closest to the human race in the entire Freljord, and if Zuo Chi wanted to get in touch with the ancient god of Freljord, it would be a good choice to start with Anivia.

The fighting in the ring has been going on, and the atmosphere in the crowd has become more and more intense.

One knocked out the defender on the stage, but was soon defeated by the next challenger.

Soon, the battle reached the later stages, and as the strength of the fighters grew, the battle began to see blood.

The sound of swords intersecting continued to sound, and one after another wonderful battles began, and while people admired the battle, their eyes often turned to Ash, the mother of war, above.

However, they soon discovered that Ash was just staring at the ring with an indifferent expression, and his face did not show the slightest strangeness from beginning to end.

That way, they wouldn't be able to tell from Ash's change in expression that she had thoughts about which fighter was in the ring.

As time passed, more and more blood was spilled in the ring.

In the thick of blood, the number of fighters who stepped into the ring began to decrease, but the number of people who could defend successfully all the time began to increase.

At this time, Zuo Chi heard the shocked whispers in the crowd.

"Kavi of the Bingling Clan has been fighting on the stage for five rounds, and every time he fights, he directly cuts off the opponent's arm, making the opponent incapacitated!"

"There's something wrong with the knife in his hand, it seems to be a blessed magic artifact."

"This kind of thing is not very common, except for the Holy Bow of the War Mother, I haven't seen many magic artifacts that can be used against the enemy."

Slowly raising his head, Zuo Chi looked at the figure in the stands.

It was a man in iron armor with a dark blue short knife, and at this time the short knife in his hand cut through his opponent's spear and stabbed mercilessly into his opponent's shoulder.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his knife had deprived the man's arm of the ability to continue holding the weapon.

But it was at this moment that he slashed the dagger and cut off his arm under the man's terrified gaze!

"!!Uhh

The arm fell to the ring with a dull thud, and the man clutched his broken arm and screamed in pain, while Kaveh kept a dark smile on his face.

And when Zuo Chi saw the short knife in Kaveh's hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

For some reason, Zuo Chi always felt a very familiar atmosphere.

"Bang!"

After severing his rival's arm, Kaveh kicked him out of the ring and the man landed not far from Zuochi.

"Who else!"

In the ring, Kaveh raised his hands and looked at the other fighters below the ring with a proud expression, his eyes full of disdainful killing intent.

On the other side, the rest of the Ice Ling clan began chanting Kaveh's name, and the number of people participating in the chanting was gradually spreading and becoming more and more numerous.

The man's severed arm lay quietly in the ring, but it showed the price of continued challenge to those who came after him.

The people under the ring looked at Kaveh in the ring, and then looked at the broken arm loser in the crowd who had just been carried away, and they couldn't help but feel a deep fear in their hearts.

Even a few people who were eager to take the stage were stopped by the clansmen.

All those who lost to Kaveh had their arms cut off, and if they lost, it would mean the complete loss of an arm and a significant reduction in combat effectiveness.

Without absolute certainty, this is definitely a very risky gamble.

All eyes were on Kaveh, and no one walked into the ring again.

Everyone felt that if nothing else, Kaveh would be the blood alliance of Ash the War Mother.

Because the combat power he showed was really strong, strong enough to easily crush the challengers present.

And looking at Kaveh's current state, he doesn't seem to have consumed any physical strength at all.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Ash above, even Kaveh himself in the ring.

Noticing the gaze cast from below, Ash's hand on the seat slowly tightened a little.

Her gaze swept over the crowd to the figure in the crowd below the ring.

He promised me that he would do it, why is he just sitting there now.

Could it be that he repented and didn't want to be my blood alliance?

Gradually, a deep sense of loss began to emerge in Ash's eyes.

The silver hair was blown to one side by the wind, blocking Ash's view, but she didn't pay attention to it, because her mind was really messed up right now.

However, in Ash's blurred vision, obscured by her white hair, she saw the figure in front of her, who had been seated, slowly stand up.

Ash quickly raised his hand to remove the hair that was blocking his face, and the luster in his eyes fluctuated violently.

Ash's performance at this time also attracted the attention of everyone below the ring.

Following the direction of Ash's gaze, the people all turned their heads to look over there, and then they saw Zuo Chi slowly standing up.

"Zuochi, what are you doing!" Seeing Zuo Chi stand up, Lei Ze took his hand with a frightened expression.

Originally, Lei Ze was still glad that the martial arts tournament had been going on for so long, and Zuo Chi had not come to the stage, so it seemed that he should have listened to his advice and stopped going to danger.

As a result, who would have thought that Zuo Chi, who had not been on stage just now, actually stood up at this time!

What's the difference between this and giving someone an arm for nothing!?

Zuo Chi took Razor's hand away and smiled lightly at him:

"Didn't I tell you before, to participate in the conference, and you have to ask the War Mother to accept your clan, so naturally you have to go up."

Zuo Chi said, ignoring Lei Ze's anxious jumping feet, turned around and walked straight towards the ring.

His steps were slow, and all eyes were on him along the way.

Zuochi is tall and in good shape, but it's still a little worse than the muscular Kavi in the ring.

In addition, Zuo Chi didn't have any weapons at this time, and everyone felt that Zuo Chi was probably going to be the next person to have his arm cut off.

In the ring, Kaveh, who had already prepared to become the Ash Blood Alliance, was also looking at Zuo Chi, and a wisp of cold light began to flash with the short knife in his hand.

For him, it doesn't make any difference whether Zuo Chi appears or not, because there is no one to stop him at all.

Soon, Zuo Chi came to the ring.

Looking at Kaveh, Zuo Chi said lightly: "The knife in your hand is very good. ”

"Huh." Kaveh sneered inexplicably: "This is something I worked so hard to get." ”

Zuo Chi nodded and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Zuo Chi finally remembered where the magical aura that permeated the short knife came from.

This breath is almost exactly the same as the breath on the magic scroll that Trandall threw that night!

Maybe it was because he didn't want to be discovered, the aura on the dagger was very light, but Zuo Chi still sensed this aura with his strong spiritual power.

In the stands, Ash looked at the ring below with bright eyes, and now there was an irrepressible smile on the corner of her mouth compared to her previous loss.

For the first time, she looked into the ring with emotions on her face.

"Let's go!"

At this moment, the announcement of the Frost Sacrifice sounded, and Kaveh on the other side of the left pool also opened his stance.

The noise from the audience calmed down, and everyone watched the battle in the ring.

At one point, Kaveh's footsteps stomped on the ground, and he raised his short knife and headed straight for the left pool.

As if sensing the master's intentions, a rich ice magic began to emerge on the short knife, and the dark blue light circulating on it began to gradually condense.

Approaching, the short knife in Kaveh's hand slashed mercilessly at Zuochi's shoulder.

In the face of Kaveh's attack, Zuo Chi's expression did not change, and he slowly raised his hand, meeting Kaveh's short knife filled with violent ice magic.

"Wow!"

There was a violent commotion from under the ring, and everyone was looking at Zuo Chi with dull eyes, and they couldn't figure out what Zuo Chi was going to do.

Do you give a hand at the beginning?

However, in the next second, everyone's eyes were filled with a thick sense of incredulity.

Because at the moment when Zuo Chi's right hand touched the short knife in Kaveh's hand, a piercing sound of metal rubbing actually sounded in their ears, and then, the short knife that Kavi had cut off the spear was actually held in Zuo Chi's hand like this!

“！？”

Not only the onlookers in the audience, but even Kaveh's heart on the other side of Zuo Chi was beating violently.

He couldn't believe that someone could take the white blade empty-handed!

And it's a magic blade enchanted by the Frost Witch!

Not only that, but just when Kaveh wanted to pull the short knife out of Zuo Chi's hand, he was shocked to find that the short knife in his hand at this time seemed to be welded to death in Zuo Chi's hand, and he couldn't shake it at all!

In the next moment, Zuo Chi's figure reflected in his eyes became bigger and bigger, and Zuo Chi's elbow strike also came in front of him.

"Bang!"

"Click! Click! Click! ”

Zuo Chi's charging cannon smashed into Kaveh's chest without the slightest reservation, and his chest instantly sank, and the sound of dense rib cracking resounded in the ring, making everyone in the audience shudder.

"Ahh

The extreme pain of the bone spur piercing his lungs caused Kaveh to let out a hoarse growl, and his breathing began to grow more rapid, and blood began to foam in his mouth.

But even so, Kaveh didn't let go of the short knife he was holding, and a slowly swirling frost mark began to appear in his eyes.

Gradually, an extreme coldness began to come from the short knife held by Zuo Chi, and the dark blue light began to spread towards Zuo Chi's arm.

And just when this light climbed up Zuo Chi's hand, he was also completely sure, this is the power of Lisandro!

The power of the ascension converged on the arm, and the crimson-golden light met the dark blue light.

Resisted by the fiery power of the ascension, the dark blue light from the dagger could no longer move forward.

"Click! Click! ”

Not only that, but Kaveh was suddenly shocked to find that the sound of metal being twisted began to come from Zuo Chi's hand holding his short knife!

"It can't be!"

Zuo Chi said lightly: "You shouldn't have betrayed the Avarosa clan, and you have to die now." ”

Zuo Chi's voice was faint, but it also spread throughout the silent center of the station.

For a moment, everyone looked at Zuo Chi and Kaveh with an incredible gaze.

“！？”

Compared with Zuo Chi's blandness, Kavina's original crazy mood brought a touch of emptiness.

"I don't know what you're talking about, you want to murder your kind!"

"Uhh

At that moment, Zuochi let go of his right hand holding the short knife and grabbed Kaveh's neck with his right hand, lifting him above his head.

The short knife was released, and Kaveh kept stabbing Zuo Chi's arm indiscriminately with the short knife in his hand.

He knew that he would not be able to leave the ring today, so he had to leave some mark on the man in front of him who had ruined everything before he died.

However, what Zuo Chi responded to him was only the increasingly dense power of ascension on his arm.

The power of the Endless Ascension continued to converge towards Zuo Chi's arm, which was now completely rendered in crimson gold.

Immediately afterward, under the gaze of the entire Avarosa tribe, the power of ascension fully exploded.

The surging energy to the extreme burst out from Zuo Chi's hand, drowning the Kaveh in his hand almost instantly, and then converging into a thick pillar of energy, soaring straight into the sky!

Wherever the golden pillars of light passed, everything in its path turned into nothingness, and the pillars of light even scattered some of the dark clouds in the sky, illuminating most of the Avarosa tribe's residence.

After a long time, the pillar of light slowly faded.

It was also at this time that a corpse that had lost its upper body fell into the ring, and as for the short knife before, it was already missing at this time.

Slowly retracting his arm, Zuo Chi looked at the bottom of the ring with an indifferent expression.

There wasn't the slightest sound in the entire Avarosa tribe's quarter, and even the howling of the wind and snow became much quieter.

Everyone was looking at Zuo Chi, whether it was the audience or Ash above.

For those of them who have been running around in the wind and snow all day long, trying to survive by primitive means, everything that Zuo Chi has shown is beyond the scope of their power.

Both physical and magical made them despair.

If Kaveh was a powerful warrior just now, then Zuochi was no different from a god to them now.

What is the difference between this and a cultivator in the world of martial arts!

They even felt that even their own war mother, Ash, was far from reaching the level of Zuochi.

If such a person is going to become Ash's blood alliance, how can they fight?

Although he was unwilling in his heart, no one dared to go on stage to die again.

And this is exactly the effect that Zuo Chi wants!

He had to show his strength to the fullest, so that he could stop others from wanting to become the Ash Blood Alliance.

Moreover, he does not belong to any tribe, there is no question of favoritism for his own tribe, and other tribes cannot find a point of imbalance.

In this way, this problem is perfectly solved.

In the long silence, Zuo Chi did not urge, and he did not shout arrogantly like Kaveh, but just stood quietly in the ring.

And the people under the ring are also the first two big ones when they face Zuo Chi's gaze.

Finally, Esh's voice, trembling with excitement, broke the silence and put an end to the eerie atmosphere in the arena.

"It's over, I'll pick him."

Again, Zuo Chi appeared beside her when she was about to despair and pulled her out of the abyss.

She looked at Zuo Chi's back in a daze, she really hoped that Zuo Chi would turn his head to look at her at this time, but until the Frost Sacrifice announced the result, Zuo Chi didn't look at her.

Sensing the intentions of his own war mother, the Frost Priest announced loudly: "Since no one is on the stage again, then I declare that the winner of this tournament is: Zuo Chi!" ”

Hearing the announcement from above, Zuo Chi nodded slightly, and then walked out of the ring and walked in the direction where Razor was.

But at this moment, the sound of the frost sacrifice made his footsteps pause.

"The wedding of the War Mother will be held tomorrow, you can take a break and come to the War Mother's wedding."

"Warriors of the left pool, the winner, please come to the high platform."

Turning his head to look at the high platform, Zuo Chi's gaze met Ash's for the first time today.

At this time, Zuo Chi saw Ash's eyes full of grievances.

"Huh?"

Zuo Chi was a little puzzled, obviously he had won, why did Ash still look unhappy?

And Zuo Chi was puzzled to find that his system hadn't prompted him to complete the task.

Could it be that Ash's wish is more than that?

Shaking his head slightly, Zuo Chi didn't think about it anymore, turned around and walked towards the high platform.

Seeing Zuochi walking towards this side, Sigra next to Ash and the Frost Sacrifice on the other side looked at each other and smiled, greeted Ash one after another, and left the high platform.

As a result, only Ash and Zuo Chi, who had just come up, were left on the high platform.

Ash was still sitting in the chair, her hands resting on the edge of the seat on either side of her thighs, her eyes unblinking at Zuo Chi who was walking towards her.

It's just that Ash didn't see any joy on Zuochi's face.

Zuo Chi's expression was as indifferent as stagnant water, and his eyes were extremely flat.

"Fortunately, I won't be dishonored, and I can help you solve this problem."

Ash got up lightly and smiled bitterly at Zuochi.

"Zuochi, thank you."

"It's nothing, I'm helping myself, too. That's right."

Zuo Chi suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't hold a wedding, anyway, let's just act, just stop the idea of those who want to become your blood alliance." ”

"Then I'll go back first, I promised Sejuani to go to her before, it's time to get ready to go."

“.”

Hearing Zuochi's words, Ash's body shook slightly.

She raised her head and looked at Zuo Chi's back as she turned around, only to feel that she was extremely uncomfortable now, and the loss in her heart made her a little breathless.

"Left Pool!"

Finally, just as Zuo Chi had taken a few steps, Ash stopped him in a trill.

Zuo Chi paused, and then turned around.

At the same time, he said: "If there is anything else you need my help with, you can tell me." ”

"Why, you seem to hate me all of a sudden? And always want to leave? Ash asked softly.

"Huh?" Zuo Chi paused slightly, a little unsure of what Ash meant.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Chi said, "I can see that you are only forced by the difficulties faced by the clan, so you will reluctantly accept me as your nominal blood alliance. In that case, I naturally don't stay in the Avarosa tribe to be an eyesore.

Plus I don't know anyone else in Freljord, so I can only go to Winter's Claw? ”

"I didn't!"

After listening to Zuo Chi's explanation, the grievances in Ash's heart gradually turned into doubts and wrongs.

"I've never thought you'd be an eyesore, why the hell would you say that?"

"You told me that night."

Zuo Chi tilted his head and began to repeat Ash's words at that time:

"I said I'd do your blood alliance, but you said no. I said that I don't force the truth of husband and wife, but you still say no. I said I would never touch you, and I would leave after the conference, and you still said no. Even if you reluctantly agree to me as your blood alliance in the end, it's only because of the tribal problems that make you helpless. ”

"You said you hated me so much, I can't try not to show up in front of you?"

Zuo Chi's words fell, and Ash fell into a stupor, and at the same time, she couldn't help but recall the conversation with Zuo Chi the night before.

Gradually, she suddenly discovered that she really seemed to be rejecting Zuo Chi all along!

No wonder he hugged her before, but then he didn't say goodbye.

No wonder Zuo Chi has such a heavy sense of distance from her today, and finally cancels the wedding with her.

It turns out that the problem is with herself.

"Zuo Chi, I didn't really want to reject you at that time, I just. I just promised Sejuani that I didn't want to rob her of her blood alliance."

"Huh?"

A row of dense question marks appeared on Zuo Chi's head: "When did I become Sejuani's blood alliance?" ”

"In short, I really don't mean to reject you, you have to trust me!"

Ash leaned over Zuo Chi and raised his head to look at him aggrievedly, wishing he could open his mouth more so that he could better explain to Zuo Chi.

"That," Zuo Chi looked at Ash, "Why did you suddenly figure it out again later?" ”

"Because." This time, Ash hesitated, and a faint hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

But after all, she was still a war mother, so after hesitating for a moment, she said generously: "Because I found that I like you, I don't want to give you to Sejuani!" ”

At this point, Zuo Chi and Ash didn't speak again, just stared at each other blankly.

After a long time, Ash asked in a low voice, "Zuochi, are you still leaving?" ”

Zuo Chi hesitated slightly, just about to speak.

But Ash then said, "Even if you leave, wait until after the wedding, you promised to help me, and it will be suspicious to leave now." ”

After saying this, Zuo Chi saw that the pleading color in Ash's eyes became a little heavier.

Looking at Ash who was looking at him pitifully in front of him, recalling all the things during this time, Zuo Chi also knew that he had misunderstood.

Turning slightly, Zuo Chi and Ash came face to face.

At this time, Zuochi suddenly noticed that Ash was gently standing on her tiptoes while her arms wrapped around her neck.

Then, under Zuo Chi's dull gaze, Ash kissed Zuo Chi jerkily but actively.

“！！！”

West of Freljord, Winterclaw tribe.

Sejuani sat in the tent with the barbecue on the charcoal fire in front of her, and the thick smell of meat filled the room.

In her rare leisure, Sejuani looked at the charcoal fire in front of her in a daze.

"Now that I think about it, Zuo Chi should already be on his way here."

(Super big chapter, oh, at the end of the month, please send a monthly pass recommendation ticket, crab crab crab)
