Chapter 150: The Land of Sword Fighting
Phantom Moon City is the southern end of the Southern Continent of the Soul Sword Continent.
Leaning against the sea, whenever the moon rises, it is often affected by the mirage of the sea, and condenses the phantom moon in the sky above the city, so it gets this name.
The traffic here is developed, it has the reputation of "waterway fortress", there are many merchants passing by every day, all kinds of rare treasures are sold, and the economy is very fashionable.
At the same time, there are also all kinds of people gathered here, and it is a criminal paradise.
And above this sea, there is a sword faction, which is the Water Moon Sword Sect, one of the seven great sword factions in the world.
This faction is known for its illusion swordsmanship, and when fighting against it, it often makes the opponent fall into an illusion, and its whereabouts are very strange, difficult to detect, and kill people invisibly.
The sun rises in the east, and the dazzling light passes through the turbulent waves on the sea, refracting colorful flares, which is enough to shock people's hearts.
On the easternmost side of this southern giant city, there is a hundred-zhang high giant vertebral building, similar to the western gladiatorial arena, called the sword fighting field.
The noise in the field is endless, shocking the sky, day and night, all the time is exuding a kind of breath of death of life, terrifying and terrifying.
There are countless people who have committed the most heinous crimes here, all of them are outlaws, who specialize in sword fighting for a living, often licking blood at the tip of the sword, taking life and death down as a kind of fun.
At this time, in a sword fighting arena, a person was dying, wounded and fell to the ground, struggling to insert himself into the ground, struggling to support his scarred body without falling.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
......
Seeing that the man was seriously injured and fell to the ground, the audience on the sidelines hissed and cheered and shouted in unison, mocking this dying and struggling weakling.
On the other side of the man, there was a man standing upright, with many sword wounds on his body, but he was much better than the former.
"Haha~"
Seeing that the breath of the man on the ground had greatly decreased, the other person who was opposing him smiled cruelly, licked a mouthful of the scarlet blood stuck to the blade of his sword, and jokingly said:
"Luo Cheng, you see that they are all calling you to death! Hurry up and admit defeat! Otherwise, you will lose your life in vain, how worthwhile!"
"Admit defeat? I, Luo Cheng, have fought to the death in the sword fighting arena for dozens of times, but I didn't admit defeat all the way! If you want me to admit defeat, you are not qualified enough!" The man named Luo Cheng was also fearless, and directly spit out a mouthful of blood, with a hideous face.
"Yes, since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill you!"
The other person was enraged, and the soul power in his body surged instantly, merging into the white sword, and bursts of mist rose from the sword body, which was as cool as frost and terrifying.
"Frost Blade, give me death!"
The man rushed in angrily, wielding the blade of the white sword with all his might, and slashed at Luo Cheng, who was holding the sword on the ground.
Who knew that at that moment, Luo Cheng showed a strange smile, but no one in the audience noticed it, and no one thought that he was dying, cheering and shouting, excited.
"Huh~"
In an instant, the sword fell, and Luo Cheng's body suddenly shattered, turned into flying ashes, and dissipated invisible.
"Phantom Sword Kill!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the man's ears, and the scattered ashes condensed behind him, and a phantom condensed with it, raising his sword and stabbing out, instantly piercing the man's chest.
"Poof~"
"You~ How could you ......?"
"Knock~"
The man was unconscious, slowly looking down at the blood-dripping blade that pierced his chest, the endless breath of death enveloped his heart, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were blank, his head hung to the side weakly, and his life was lost.
"Stain~"
Immediately after, Luo Cheng pulled out the blood-dripping blade, and the person's body fell to the side weakly, and the red blood gushed out, dripping all over the ground, completely turning into a cold corpse.
"Haha~ 100,000 gold coins in hand!"
Luo Cheng stepped on the corpse, laughed wildly, held the blood-dripping sword blade high, and looked around at the audience, his face full of hideous colors.
"How could it be, he wasn't the one who died!"
"Damn, I lost it!
"Huh~ Win!
"Whew~"
......
Everyone was shocked and excited, they couldn't believe their eyes at all, and if they didn't pay attention, life and death were in an instant.
At this moment, there were two new unfamiliar faces outside the field, watching the bloody corpse being dragged out and thrown into the corpse pile, the scene was extremely cruel, and I couldn't help but be occupied by a trace of fear in my heart, and I couldn't help but extricate myself.
"Sure enough, they are all outlaws, killing butchers who treat life as worthless as mustard!"
Seeing this, Xiao He's face became extremely solemn, the danger here was even worse than fighting with soul beasts in the primeval forest.
After all, people's hearts are unpredictable and sinister, and even their own lives can be sold for the sake of the interests of the current experience.
At the same time, a trace of unknown fear crept into his heart, making him tremble physically and mentally, and began to hesitate.
"Am I scared?" Xiao He muttered to himself as he looked at his trembling legs beneath him.
At this time, a pair of hands were placed on his lap, which made him stunned for a moment, only to see Qi Yupeng smiling at him and saying:
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"Hmm~ It's a little!" Xiao He didn't shy away from it, and nodded back.
However, when he thought about it, he looked back on the past and experienced several near-death dangers, but he did not flinch in the slightest, but faced the difficulties and faced death.
Moreover, Lu Xiansheng's face that made him angry and unwilling appeared from time to time, but this so-called fear disappeared and disappeared.
Thinking of this, he stood up directly, turned to leave, and walked towards the sidelines.
"Xiaohe, where are you going? Are you really scared?" Qi Yupeng was also stunned, and hurriedly followed and asked.
"I'm just going to sign up!" Xiao He didn't care, just faintly returned.
"What! You're not afraid?" Qi Yupeng was shocked.
"For me, who has experienced several deaths, what can I count on now?"
Xiao He's face was fearless, and the trace of fear that had emerged before disappeared, replaced by a resolute look, and without the slightest hesitation, he strode towards the registration office.
"Little brother, are you here to sign up? It's very dangerous here!" Suddenly, Xiao He was stopped by a charming voice.
Xiao He looked for the sound, and saw that the person who came was a beautiful woman wearing a red cheongsam, with phoenix eyebrows and melon face, dignified appearance, and very elegant.
At this moment, she fanned the show fan in her hand from time to time, twisted her waist, and walked slowly towards Xiaohe.
Xiao He's face was solemn, he didn't expect that there was such a stunner here, enchanting and seductive, so he looked up at her slightly, smiled, and nodded back:
"Hmm~ Boy He Xiao, I'm new here, I don't know the way!I wonder if my sister can take me there?"
"Brother He Xiao, are you sure?This is a gathering place for the wicked, killing people without blinking!But it's very dangerous, I advise you to hurry home!" The woman frowned, shook her head, and returned.
"Sister, don't worry, I have my own measure, please lead the way!" Who knows He shook his head, his face resolute, without the slightest fear.
"Why don't you listen to my brother, sister, this is not something like you can come from! But it will kill someone!" the woman reminded again.
"Hmm~ I saw it just now!But I'm still going!Trouble my sister to lead the way!" Xiao He nodded lightly at her and returned firmly.
"Hmph~ What a disobedient little brother!Sister doesn't care about you!Come with me!" The woman was a little angry, shook her head, and turned around directly to lead the way.
"Hmm~"
Xiao He nodded slightly, and then followed.
The two walked through a long, dark corridor, and the side of the road was full of all kinds of people, some leaning against the wall to wipe the blades of their swords, or playing with the cold blades of their swords, all of them fierce and vicious, looking like murder.
When they saw the woman coming, they all gave way to say hello, their faces were full of fascination and admiration, which made Xiaohe very surprised.
"Hello Sister Yu!"
"Get out of the way, Sister Yu is here!"
"Eh~ Why did Sister Yu bring a little brother? Ouch~ Not bad!"
"Little brother, come and play with my brother!"
......
It's just that when they saw Xiao He, everyone sneered again and again, and their faces showed hideous and bloodthirsty colors.
In the face of everyone's admiration and admiration, the woman didn't care, but her face showed a look of disgust and disdain, turned her face to look at Xiao He, and said lightly:
"My name is Yu Yan, I am the supervisor here, you can call me Sister Yu like them, but don't be like them, these people are a bunch of desperate villains who do things for money!"
"Yes, Sister Yu!" Xiao He was also stunned, he didn't expect this woman to be so kind, he was a little unhappy, and nodded back.
"I don't know what Brother He Xiao is doing here, it shouldn't be just for money!" Yu Yan glanced at him and asked.
"Well~ Don't hide it from Sister Yu, the kid is indeed a little tight now, but I mainly want to hone myself here and make myself stronger quickly!" Xiao He didn't shy away from it, he felt that the woman in front of him had no malicious intent, and nodded back.
After hearing this, Yu Yan was extremely surprised, and quickly stopped and turned around to stop Xiao He, her face was full of worry, and said:
"Make yourself stronger? This place is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may die! You must know that among those people just now, not a single one is a good stubble, and the sword in their hands is stained with the blood of many innocent lives! To tell the truth, Brother He Xiao, you really shouldn't have come here! Listen to my sister's words, go back! It's still too late!"
"Thank you Sister Yu for your kindness, but the kid still has to go!Because if I don't get stronger soon, I will lose a lot of cherished things!Not just life!" Xiao He looked resolute, and even a little angry and unwilling, without the slightest intention of retreating.
"Okay! I know! It's ahead! You can go in by yourself!" Yu Yan was shocked, a trace of gloom welled up on her face, some empathy, inexplicably hurt.
"Arrived?"
Xiao He was surprised, and followed the direction that Yu Yan pointed, only to see a hall full of white light, which was full of people, all holding bright swords in their hands, expressionless and ruthless.
"I wonder if Sister Yu can tell the kid about the rules of the sword fighting competition?" Xiao He paused and asked.
After hearing this, Yu Yan was also stunned, took a deep breath of cold air, and said in a deep voice:
"The rule here is that there are no rules, as long as you are strong enough, you can defeat your opponent and admit defeat and win the game. You can even do whatever it takes, and it's not too much to kill your opponent on the spot!"
"Isn't there a game with rules? It's fun, no wonder you can kill people!" Xiao He was silent, a trace of solemnity appeared on his resolute face, and after thinking about it, he was replaced by a fearless color, and he was eager to try, and said:
"However, this kind of battle is called a real battle, and it is exactly what I want!
"Huh?" Yu Yan was shocked.
"Sister Yu, thank you! I'm leaving!"
With that, Xiao He waved his hand and walked towards the Golden Hall.
"Hey~ Why doesn't this disobedient brother listen to persuasion? But next, my sister has to see how you perform!"
Yu Yan stroked the green silk off her face, looked at a resolute back, and smiled.
