Chapter 301: Fertile Ground for Victory
"You...... I'm really impressed. Balk slowly withdrew his arm, looked at Wuqi, his face was pale, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and said. At the same time, the seemingly illusory, but incomparably large, transparent shield that completely blocked his entire body immediately disappeared under his arm, without warning, as if it had never existed.
Wuqi's gaze was as calm as water, he looked at Balk indifferently, did not rush to speak, but nodded silently, and then said with the same cold eyes: "You too." ”
Balk's eyes couldn't help but narrow, his impression of Wuqi at this time had changed, he no longer had the same murderous intent as before, but the murderous intent in his eyes dissipated, and the cold flickered, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "You can force me to use the Holy Shield." You're the first opponent to make me serious. ”
"What? do you still have a trick?" Wuqi also showed a faint smile on his face, shook his head, and said, "If you have the ability, come again." If that's all you have, I'm really disappointed. ”
The words of these two people were heard very clearly by everyone inside and outside the arena, and the atmosphere at this time was very quiet, and no one opened their mouths to interrupt the meaning of these two, including the quarterfinals under the ring, all of them remained silent. However, they saw it more clearly than the audience, and understood better why the two in the ring suddenly stopped fighting and began a meaningless conversation.
It's not that they don't want to continue the fierce fight, but because under the violent collision just now, there have been amazing changes in the ring, and the situation of the two is even more embarrassing. Due to the fierce impact of the two energies just now, after a loud "bang" was heard, a crack had already appeared in the middle of the intact ring in an instant.
It's not so much a crack, but more precisely, it can be said that it's a ravine. It was like a huge moat, blocking in front of the two of them, blocking between the two. The length of the ravine is not too large, but the width and depth are unusually staggering.
At this time, Wuqi and Balk were standing on both sides of the ring, but the ravine between them was like an incomparably huge deep pit, suddenly blocking in front of the two, making it seem as if there was a bottomless black hole between the two of them out of thin air. At a glance, you can't see the bottom at all, you can only see endless darkness.
The original four-sided ring was also under the violent collision just now, as if someone had suddenly cut out a large hole in the middle of the piece of paper, and it became two pieces on the left and right, and the intact area was pitiful. The range that Wuqi and Balk could move was only one or two meters in radius.
The huge visual impact instantly made all the spectators dumbfounded, and the rest of the players in the quarterfinals would maintain the same tacit silence as the spectators, precisely because they saw this shocking scene. But when they saw Wuqi and Balk's appearance at this time, they were even more shocked in their hearts.
Wuqi's face was as calm as water now, but there were countless small holes on his body, each of which was of a different size, but all of them were flowing with the same blood, and the holes in his clothes were filled with dense white gold fragments like countless small insects, and some were even stained with a lot of dirt.
At a glance, Wuqi's appearance at this time is like a Christmas tree full of countless colorful lights.
It's just that he is not as tall as the Christmas tree, and his appearance at this time is not as beautiful as the Christmas tree decorated with colorful lights, but is full of blood. At this moment, Wuqi's complexion was extremely weak, and his face was as pale as snow, all of which were caused by the huge impact just now.
As for Balke, his condition at this time was actually not much better than Wuqi's. Although his clothes were completely intact compared to Wuqi, without any dust, and there were no wounds on his face or body due to the sudden burst of the ring, his complexion was as pale as Wuqi's, and even more serious than Wuqi's.
It's just that because Balk still has a layer of golden light on his body at this time, under the effect of golden light, ordinary people can't see it at all. But Rode, who was also a high-level cultivator and also possessed the power of elemental awakening, could see it clearly, and he understood at a glance that these two people were going to start pretending to be deep and talking nonsense.
It's not that they really want to talk, and they don't really admire each other, but because after the battle just now, both of them suffered a great loss of physical strength, and Wuqi was seriously injured, and their breath is now very disordered, and they need to recuperate and recover slowly, so that they can continue the next battle. ,
In fact, Rod was very correct in his judgment, but he was not very prepared.
Wuqi and Balk were indeed in the same weak condition at this time, but Wuqi was even weaker. Wu Qi's body was already much weaker than that of cultivators of the same level, and the shock force that suddenly erupted from the Holy Shield just now caused his internal organs to burst almost instantly, and countless wounds appeared all over his body, but because his willpower was far beyond the tenacity of ordinary people, he was forced to hold his back in the end, so he did not fall.
But Wuqi's injuries at this time were very serious, and his elemental awakening power was almost like a waste wood's awakening power compared to Rhodes' speed or Balk's amazing defense, just strengthening his physical strength. But he didn't give up.
For Wuqi, being able to obtain the Water Elemental Awakening instead of other Elemental Awakenings was what he wanted to see the most.
The others were also very satisfied with the amazing physical strength of their water elemental awakening. Because only by suddenly gaining several times his physical strength can he cast the Itching Advanced Spell, which was impossible to succeed before, and it was this move that he used to rely on to defeat Rhodes after the Elemental Awakening, so now he also intends to do so.
When he spurted out a mouthful of blood, Wuqi's face became even paler and his breath was more disordered, but he didn't hesitate, he directly gritted his teeth and spit out lightly: "Condensation!"
When the words landed, a cloud of white gas suddenly appeared in the air where the blood passed, and the white gas instantly turned red after being sprayed with blood, but only a moment later, these red gases that suddenly appeared out of thin air turned into a red droplet under the mutual condensation of the speed madness.
I saw Wuqi's left hand lightly touch the water droplet, and the red color immediately disappeared, and the color of the water drop suddenly turned into an extremely pure light blue.
Wuqi's right hand turned into an afterimage without hesitation, constantly flicking his fingers in the water droplets, and with a flick of his hand speed, a strange scene suddenly appeared.
I saw that one after another blue water droplets, only the size of rice grains, kept flying out of the big droplets in Wuqi's hands, and every time he flicked his fingers, ten drops of water would fly out of it, and they landed in the air in front of him, neatly lined up, like a row of obedient soldiers, motionless in the air.
In just a few seconds, the large water droplet in front of Wuqi quickly became smaller and smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became a member of the water drop phalanx, Wuqi subconsciously swept it, there were as many as three hundred drops, and he nodded with satisfaction. However, due to his serious injuries, he still rested for a while, and then waved his right hand, pointed sharply at Balk not far in front of the ravine, and ordered: "Charge!"
After speaking, his eyes suddenly froze, and with a quick move of his left hand, the curse mark ball immediately appeared. Once the droplet has successfully invaded Balk's body, he will immediately squeeze it without hesitation, and it is done.
After seeing Wuqi use the water drop stunt, the worry in Julia's eyes was even stronger, he was not optimistic about Wuqi's trick, and the other top eight players were the same, although Nakolulu and Xius had seen this trick, but there was a look of worry on their faces for no reason at the same time, after all, they had not experienced this trick themselves, so they didn't have much confidence in Wuqi's move in their hearts.
However, Rod, who had personally experienced Wuqi's move, saw Wuqi hit a drop of water, the indifference in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and a trace of confidence slowly rose in his heart. This confidence was not even noticed by himself, but it was indeed written on his face, and there was a rare faint smile on Rhodes' face.
Balk is not an ordinary person, and the amazing defense power he gained through the awakening of the earth element gave him a big advantage in the previous battle with Wuqi. But even so, he still couldn't help but be afraid of Wuqi's tricks, after all, if he was never cautious against the enemy, it would not be possible to reach his current strength.
From the moment the other party forced him to use the Holy Shield defense, he had already classified Wuqi's strength into the category of people who could cause harm to himself in his heart, but if he wanted to defeat himself, it was still impossible, let alone whether he could kill himself.
However, Balk is not a fool, since Wuqi has the kind of technique that can quickly repair injuries, he no longer uses it when he is seriously injured, but directly hits this seemingly powerless droplet regardless of the injury, naturally it is impossible for him to be cheating. ,
What is the power of this move, and can it pose a threat to himself? But he understands that the other party has reached this point, and this move is definitely the strongest trick of the other party. If he stays at this time, I am afraid that he will definitely suffer a big loss at that time. And Balk also had a rough guess about Wuqi's strength at this time.
He put Wuqi again in the category of people who could make him serious, so after seeing the water droplets rushing towards him from all directions like thousands of horses, the disdain in his eyes flashed away, and he turned to a rare serious look.
With a move from his right hand, a golden spear more than five meters long immediately appeared in the space bracelet, and the body and tip of the spear all exuded the same golden light as his body. Balk grasped the body of the spear without hesitation, and the whole person immediately seemed to be completely fused with the spear, and the golden light on his body and the spear instantly connected.
Seeing that the water droplets were getting closer and closer to him, Balk did not show any panic, but took a deep breath and let out a loud breath, and his body immediately turned into a streamer, and he jumped down and went straight to Wuqi in front of the ravine. The man was still in the air, but the spear in his hand began to attack, and the target was not strange, but the droplets.
With a roar like a thunderous explosion, "Meteor Spike!" The golden light on Balk's body immediately condensed into the spear in an instant under his movement, and after that, his hand was like an afterimage, stabbing wildly in front of and behind him, up and down, left and right.
He didn't move or jump fast, but the speed of his attack was so fast that at a glance, even Wuqi, the person closest to his strength, couldn't see Balk's specific methods. Wuqi just saw Balk's body jump at this moment, as if he had suddenly turned into a hedgehog, although there was no golden light on the surface of his body, but Balk's body was full of gunshots as fast as meteors.
One after another, as if it was really like the endless meteor shower, endless, so that the three hundred drops of water thrown out by Wuqi could not get close at all.
Wuqi's heart suddenly sank, and with a wave of his right hand, all the water droplets condensed together, and after listing a large array of assaults in the air, in an instant, as if he had suddenly received some kind of order that could not be disobeyed, like raindrops, he frantically pounced towards Balk's figure.
All of a sudden, a strange scene suddenly appeared in the middle of the air. Balk's spear shadow was as fast as a giant hedgehog, and on his head there were raindrops like grains of rice falling constantly, and the speed was also as fast as the spear shadow, and the raindrops did not fall anywhere, only attacking in one direction above Balk's head.
Every time the raindrops the size of a grain of rice fell, they were like moths to a fire, resolute, but each time they died miserably under the shadow of one gun after another. Seeing that the number of water droplets was getting smaller and smaller, Balk's heart gradually became proud, and he couldn't help but have an undisguised sneer on his face.
But Wuqi's heart sank more and more as the water droplets continued to disintegrate, and when he saw that the water droplets in front of him couldn't find any gaps near Balk's body, his eyes immediately showed a look of determination. Without hesitation, he sprayed three mouthfuls of blood again.
After that, his hands waved at the same time, like countless phantoms, flicking his fingers in the three huge droplets that had just condensed. At first, due to Wuqi's serious injury, his movements were not very skilled, and he was even a little scrambled due to the relationship between controlling three water droplets at the same time.
But as time passed, and after only a few seconds, he had mastered the trick, and his hand speed slowly increased again. Almost immediately after Balk had completely wiped out the three hundred droplets above his head, Wu Qi condensed a phalanx of a thousand drops in front of him at the same time.
Wuqi's eyes suddenly froze, and without hesitation, he waved his hand, looked at Balk, who was getting closer and closer to him, and shouted, "Rush!"
The order worked wonders at once, and the feat of a moth forming a full thousand droplets of water was suddenly three times stronger than before, and because of the density of the numbers, Balk gradually appeared a flaw in the past while constantly breaking through the water droplets with meteor spikes.
Wuqi's face was even paler at this time, and a dead air like a dark cloud faintly appeared on his face, and Wuqi's gaze also dimmed a little. At this moment, the offensive of a thousand drops of water was about to be wiped out again, but Wuqi's eyes couldn't help but light up. It seemed to him that Balk's flaws were like a ray of light from the clouds, almost instantly illuminating the gloom in his heart and the dimness in his eyes. ,
Although there is only a trace of this light, and the light only appears for a moment, the meaning of this moment is extraordinary. A thousand drops of water are about to collapse, which definitely represents failure, but it does not mean despair, because defeat is only temporary, and Wuqi is very aware of this, so he made the most difficult decision.
His body was completely overdrawn at this time, his breath was very weak, and his face was no longer pale, but completely filled with a thick layer of dead air, showing an unlucky black. But his eyes were as bright as the sky, blue and pure. After seeing the flaw, Wuqi was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, repeating the previous action.
But this time, he had just condensed a big droplet, and the person's body was weak, his consciousness was instantly unstable, and his eyes suddenly went black, and the person immediately became crumbling, and there was a possibility of falling into the ravine in front of him at any time.
However, even at this time, Wuqi still did not give up.
I saw that the moment he closed his eyes, it was just a sign of shaking, and the person suddenly opened his mouth, and then bit down violently, and actually bit the tip of his tongue directly. After a bloodshot flowed silently from the corner of his mouth, a strong pain suddenly rushed to his mind like a surging tide, crazy and suddenly, and almost instantly, Wuqi's mind was infinitely close to collapse.
But after his body shook several times in a row, he actually regained his footing and controlled his spirit. Then, Wuqi took a deep breath and continued to eject the water droplets again, but this time, his movements were obviously much slower than before, but Wuqi didn't want to do so much, he just bounced the water droplets wholeheartedly.
When the thousand drops of water in front of him were finally completed, Wuqi's body immediately trembled and was about to fall, but after a while, he gritted his teeth again, stood firm again, and suddenly waved his right hand to Balk, who had come three meters in front of him, and spit lightly: "Rush!"
This is the last thousand-drop offensive, carrying all the hopes of Wuqi and his infinite desire for victory. Although it was only a thousand drops, and the speed was no different from the previous batches of water drops, the attack of this thousand drops finally made Balk's perfect defense flawed.
Moreover, it is not a half-star, just a momentary flaw, but a serious loophole, a huge flaw. All because Balk was also tired.
"Demons Dance!" When Wuqi saw that hundreds of drops of water finally managed to break through Balk's defenses and enter his body, the dead air in Wuqi's eyes seemed to suddenly disappear at this moment, replaced by unimaginable joy. At this moment, the spell mark ball that had been preparing in his hand for so long was finally grabbed by Wuqi and completely transformed, and at the same time, he let out a cheerful low cry and said.
As soon as Wuqi's words landed, almost everyone's eyes became extremely dull at this moment, and there was no other gaze in their eyes, only unimaginable eyes. At this moment, what they saw in their eyes, what they felt on the sidelines or on the sidelines, was no longer shock, but unimaginable shock.
I saw that after those water droplets frantically burrowed into Balk's body, they seemed to suddenly have spirituality under a strange low drink, and suddenly turned into countless colorful dragons in Balk's body, and the dragon flashed with dazzling light, and it came out of the body through Balk's pores, and Balk's body was as transparent under the light of these dragons.
At a glance, it was as if Balk's body was being devoured by countless dragons at this time, which was extremely terrifying, but it was enough to shock the audience.
Balk's screams suddenly seemed to have become the only sound between heaven and earth, and it kept echoing in everyone's ears, even the remaining top eight players and the eight strong men on the Mentuo Plateau, and even Rod, who had personally experienced it once, couldn't help but gasp after seeing this scene, and was afraid in his heart.
Seeing that his special move was successfully launched, and after Balk was tortured in mid-air by his own special move, he finally showed a smile of relief in his eyes, and he finally won. After exhaling slowly, he began to perform the last medical treatment of the day, intending to heal himself.
But at this time, he suddenly felt that the world realm in front of him suddenly darkened at this moment, and his consciousness seemed to no longer exist, and it collapsed in an instant. It came so suddenly, without any warning, that it was already half a foot on the fertile soil of victory, and it was like this, and it fell short at the last moment, and passed out.
After only a second, Wuqi was like a puddle of mud, his weak body fell to the ground, and there was a muffled sound, and after that, there was no other sound. The audience, the quarter-finalists closest to the ring, and the strong men hadn't yet reacted to what was going on, and they were still completely immersed in the huge shock that Wuqi had just brought to them, but Balk's heart was suddenly happy.
For he suddenly found that the torture that had just itched and was about to die had dissipated like a cloud, and disappeared without warning, and it was so sudden that it made him happy.
