As the night gets darker, the ghost market is still dimly lit and full of people, but the busiest place is the arena. Not only is the arena full of spectators, there are also many gamblers gathered outside the arena.
These gamblers may not be able to afford or are reluctant to buy Yue Lei tickets, but this does not prevent them from betting their limited copper coins.
You Bao inquires inside and outside the arena to deliver the latest battle reports.
"Wuxie and Li Xiao have already completed the second round and won completely. Together they have entered the third round of the Moon Challenge, which no one has ever fought before! It's so exciting..."
"There is no weapon option in the third round, so it's a completely useless fight. Wuxie spent hundreds of breaths, and he won..."
"Breaking Dawn also won, and it only took a few dozen breaths..."
"In the fourth round, both Wu Xie and Li Xiao were slower, but the fight was still exciting..."
"In the fifth round, Wuxie was injured. Fortunately, he was able to kill his opponent without any danger..."
"Liao Xiao was injured more seriously, but he also defeated his opponent..."
The arena was buzzing with people at first, but as Wuxie and Li Xiao entered the sixth and final round, it became completely silent, because everyone knew that they were witnessing the birth of history!
Bao Wenwen once again appeared at the door of the arena, facing a pair of excited and anxious eyes, his voice was unusually high-pitched: "Wuxie killed her last opponent! It turned out that he was not in good condition. The end of the strong crossbow..."
Most of the gamblers who bet on innocence couldn't help but cheer.
But one gambler couldn't help but ask: "What if Dawn also wins?"
Everyone fell silent. Yes, this situation has never happened before. What should I do?
In the arena, on the ring, Li Xiao, who was bruised and exhausted, was hugging his last opponent, rolling and fighting, blood splattered everywhere, and the spectators could hardly tell who was who among the two entangled bodies. Already?
Until the end, the two bodies finally stopped moving. One of them stood up tremblingly and wiped his face covered in blood, revealing a ferocious and twisted face of a young man...
Daybreak did it! As he wished, the life and death situation between himself and Wu Xie was broken! He wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but he didn't even have the strength to speak out.
Tonight, he killed six Awakened Corpse Demons in a row. Although Wu Xie can meditate and adjust his breath when he comes on stage, no matter how strong his body is, there are limits. If there is a seventh one, I'm afraid he will only be able to learn the first place in the second half of the year. On the spot Committed suicide.
"Oh, the young man won, but he didn't win. He and Wuxie made history and killed all Yue Lei's opponents. The slave family has a headache, how should the bet with him be calculated? What should the two fighters do? What about deciding the outcome? It can only be left to the ghost society to decide..." Lin Qing'er said as she walked onto the ring.
The audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause. Winning or losing is important, but Wu Xie and Li Xiao's wonderful performance and tenacious fighting spirit have conquered all the spectators.
Several bucket-carrying guards quickly came on stage to clean the table and do the aftermath.
Lin Qing'er stood beside the half-clothed and blood-stained Li Xiao without any disdain: "Can you still hold on?"
Li Xiao nodded. Although the external injuries looked scary, he was not going to collapse. Lin Qing'er's next words cheered him up even more: "Please Wuxie, let these two equally matched fighters compete at the same time." Everyone on the stage..."
At dawn, I was surprised and happy, and I felt that it was destined by God. If I and Wu Xie were to meet again, no one could stop me!
The whole audience cheered again, and in the fiery atmosphere, Li Xiao saw the fresh face in his dream rising slowly from the side of the stage, like the sun in his heart, extremely dazzling.
At this moment, there was only her in his world, and everyone could only become a distant background, including Lin Qing'er, who was very close at hand.
Wu Xie was also covered in blood, and even had scratches from the zombies on her face, but she was in better spirits than Li Xiao. She slowly walked towards the center of the stage, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her heart at the moment must be as excited as Li Xiao.
The two stood on either side of Lin Qing'er. At this time, all eyes were focused on the young man and woman. The oiran lady in the middle was ignored by the onlookers.
Lin Qing'er didn't think she was dissatisfied, but it was a good thing, and she sang softly: "Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the river continent. A gentle lady, a gentleman likes to be jealous. In ancient times, if a boy liked a girl, he could hold her hand." If she doesn't refuse, it will be a resonance. Breaking dawn, do you dare to touch Wu Xie? "
Li Xiao's head buzzed. He had always wanted to meet Wu Xie, and he also wanted to find a chance to express his feelings. Unexpectedly, he couldn't get it despite all his efforts, and it took no effort at all.
God has just presented a golden opportunity to you, and you would be a complete fool if you didn't seize it.
As if deliberately creating an opportunity, Lin Qing'er quickly stepped off the stage, leaving only the young man and woman standing on the stage.
"Hold on...brother, hold on to me..." Xiao Taohong in the audience was the first to shout out, and everyone immediately agreed. They were all people who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, "Hand on! Hold on..."
At dawn, she took a step forward and boldly took Wu Xie's soft and warm little hand. With a slight twist, she lifted it up high with him, facing all the onlookers.
The whole place was in an uproar. No one expected that Li Xiao would really dare to take her, nor that Wu Xie would really refuse. After all, this is not the ancient times.
No one knows that this is the third time this boy and girl have held hands, and it is also their first time holding hands in the strict sense.
Although it was completely different from the confession of feelings that Li Xiao had envisioned, this kind of holding hands in public was a bolder and more direct confession. Xiao Niangpi had unintentionally done a great thing.
From the moment they held hands, Li Xiao and Wu Xie had been facing the audience, not looking at each other or saying anything, but the feeling of reunion flowing in their hearts penetrated into each other's bodies, skin, and even the depths of their souls.
However, this beautiful scene was quickly ruined by Lin Qing'er's words from the side of the stage: "Dear readers, the Nu family has just been notified by the Ghost Society. Although tonight's moon competition makes history, there are also old practices to follow. This has happened before in the season competition. According to the old practice, two fighters must enter the sky arena to fight for life and death. Those who have placed bets will see the result at that time. Since the start of the ghost market, the last time the sky arena was used was fifteen years ago It was an unprecedented event. I didn’t expect that it would happen again today, and for such a well-matched pair of young men and women, this battle must be unparalleled. Those who want to buy tickets should hurry up. Many distinguished guests from nearby big cities will definitely come to grab tickets. of……"
Lin Qing'er's words once again ignited the atmosphere of the whole place, and the spectators immediately went crazy: "When will the fight start? How much is a ticket... I remembered it, it is said that the sky is like fighting with gods... Think about it These two boys and girls who love each other are so excited to kill each other..."
It is the cruel nature of human beings to destroy the best things for others to see.
"The time is to be determined! The coupon price is to be determined..." Lin Qing'er came to the stage again and replied with a smile, very satisfied with the enthusiastic response of the spectators.
At that moment, one of the people involved, Li Xiaoming, had a blank mind. He never expected that this would be the result. He and Wu Xie would have to fight to the death again, and in a direct battle?
It was like he fell from the top of a mountain to the bottom of the sea all of a sudden. His heart that had just soared to the clouds felt as if he had fallen into hell. He held up his hand holding Wuxie and stupidly turned to look at Lin Qing'er: "I Can you admit defeat?"
Xiao Niangpi smiled and said: "Of course you can admit defeat and commit suicide, but you can't survive innocently. The rules of the Sky Challenge: if one person commits suicide, his opponent will die together!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie's hand held by Li Xiao tightened, and her delicate body trembled.
Perhaps, she had the same thoughts as Li Xiao just now.
As the saying goes, it is better to die than live. Unless there is deep hatred for each other, no one will choose to die together.
This rule is so harsh that it can even be said to be vicious. It not only forces the contestants to use all their strength in the ring, but also prevents the opponent from committing suicide at the last moment when he sees that he cannot survive.
Li Xiao's face turned pale. He had just broken the life-and-death situation and was forced into another dead end by the so-called old routine.
Only then did he realize that Xiao Niangpi had no good intentions. She deliberately encouraged him to hold hands with Wu Xie so that the two of them would fall in love with each other, and then put on a good show of falling in love and killing each other for the spectators. What a vicious intention!
But if you really let yourself fight Wuxie and put each other to death, it is better to commit suicide. A pair of people who love each other cannot live together, and if they die together, they will die without regrets.
As if he had guessed the young man's thoughts, Wu Xie, who had been silent since his reunion with Dawn, finally spoke: "The hero in my heart will never cowardly commit suicide. Dawn, I will fight you!"
"Wu Xie..." Li Xiao turned his eyes to the girl who had saved his life twice, with a difficult tone. It was the first time he called out her name, and the first time he looked at her face so close, even though her face was the same as his. Pale, but still so delicate and lovely, so gentle and approachable, those moon-like eyes clearly contain a affection that only the two of them know.
Li Xiao suddenly understood that the innocent person in the world that Wu Xie said was himself.
Creation confuses man, God sent such a sincere emotion in front of him, but asked him to bury it with his own hands.
No! Wuxie, my life is yours!
Li Xiao looked at the girl infatuatedly, as if the two had known each other for thousands of years, and nodded: "I promise you, I will fight you!"
Hearing this, Wuxie resolutely threw away his hand and ran off the ring without looking back. In the eyes of the spectators, they thought that the girl did not want to have anything to do with Li Xiao anymore and left heartlessly.
Li Xiao looked at Wu Xie's back in despair. It all happened too fast, and the time for him and her to reunite was too short. The next time they meet may be the time when they part ways!
The spectators in the audience made another gloating noise, trying to insult this young man who was favored by the three goddesses: "Kill yourself, otherwise you will be embarrassed... But don't commit suicide, I still want to see what you do in the sky arena. The one who died...what a bullshit hero! A bear..."
At this time, it was Xiao Taohong who was the first to stand up and support Li Xiao: "Brother, I will use half of my life savings to buy you the win! You have to give your sister credit..."
Mr. Pianpian, who was sitting at the same table with her, waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "Honghong, Long has no choice but to go against you. I will double the price of Wuxie to win..."
