The break of dawn was like waiting for Tie Zhu to take the stage. Somehow, maybe it was a long time since he saw him, Tie Zhu's face felt a little strange to him, especially those once familiar eyes that were full of vicissitudes of life.
As usual, it was a matter of choosing weapons and opponents. Tiezhu didn't seem to be favored by the onlookers, and he was actually chosen for the fist, which meant that he beat him with his bare hands.
Li Xiao is not worried, he knows the strength of this old friend.
Soon the beating started, the gongs sounded, and the iron pillar rushed directly towards the corpse demon opponent, jumped up, kicked three times in mid-air, and hit his head with his feet, kicking the corpse demon to death!
Amid the exclamations and cheers from the audience, Guan Lei's excited and exclamatory voice came: "Ah! The Xin Hao challenger tied the fastest record of the first challenge - three breaths, and it was in vain! Today There should be no suspense about the top spot, please indicate your name..."
Li Xiao also widened his eyes in disbelief. Of course he remembered that Wu Xie's fastest record in the first round was set more than a month ago, and she used a dagger. The chain kick like Tiezhu was obviously more clever.
He knew that Tiezhu's leg skills were powerful, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful!
"Hello everyone, my name is Tie Zhu, I used to be a Baoding..." Tie Zhu's ordinary face that was not pleasant revealed an extraordinary temperament.
Li Xiao looked at the stage in a daze, and suddenly thought of something serious. If Tie Zhu won the first place in the first competition, and with his skills, it would not be a problem to win the moon competition, then the two of them would compete in the season competition. Meet.
The rules of the battle: above the moon level, three people enter and one person exits.
Could it be that he and Wu Xie were fighting to the death in the Sky Arena, and that he had to live and die with his only friend?
In such extreme uneasiness, Li Xiao watched the first round end. When he heard Guan Lei regretfully announce that Tie Zhu, the first place winner in the first round, chose to withdraw and was replaced by the second place, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Tie Zhu I must have thought about it with him, so I quit voluntarily.
Li Xiao was moved in his heart. He knew that he would not lose in the season competition, but he owed a favor to his old friend. He wanted to get close to the backstage of the competition, meet Tiezhu, and give him Bigu Pills by the way.
However, the area between the spectator area and the contestants' backstage was heavily guarded and heavily guarded. Lixia thought he could get in if he showed off his face, but suddenly he thought that he had made a formidable enemy in Hu Buwei. If he knew about the relationship between him and Tiezhu, Relationships may not be a good thing for Tiezhu. After thinking about it, he gave up.
Five days later, the battle points to the southwest, and on the night of the beginning of autumn, the summer competition officially begins.
Under the starry sky, the Ghost Market Arena was brightly lit with hundreds of torches. The arena was crowded with people. The standing area was crowded with rich people from the Ghost Market, while the seating area was divided between the Ghost Market dignitaries and big city high rollers.
But seeing beautiful things everywhere, noble ladies gathered together, as if it was a festival.
The opening drumbeat sounded, and the venue fell silent, and a touching and clear voice sounded: "Drought is a disaster in autumn, and the eyes are full of scorched withered leaves, which makes people worry. How often do you see the fruits? How sad is the white snow. The drought lasted for thirty years, and the spring breeze turned into rain. Sometimes, once dawn breaks in the world..."
Lin Qing'er appeared in the center of the ring as if she were riding on the wind and the moon. She was dressed in a skirt with scattered flowers and clouds. The autumn water was like sacred jade and bones, and the hibiscus was like a face and willows like eyebrows. After singing the song, the audience cheered, and the oiran lady was deeply blessed: "Dear readers, this is your courtesy! Summer has come to an end and autumn has come, and the season competition has begun. Now we invite the first competitor of summer - Ding Xiaobao."
A chubby boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a crimson warrior robe, trotted onto the stage from the side stairs with a smile, full of joy and without any nervousness about an impending life-or-death fight.
The spectators responded with good-natured laughter. Not many people seemed to think highly of Ding Xiaobao. Although his performance in Yue Lei was quite exciting, it was still far behind the next one.
After Lin Qing'er and Ding Xiaobao joked for a while, her tone suddenly rose: "The person who is about to take the stage next is a young man that you are very familiar with and love very much..."
"Break of dawn, break of dawn..." The spectators in the audience were excited. The gamblers among them screamed particularly hard, and many ladies in the seating area stood up one after another and screamed even louder. Surprisingly, most of them were young girls.
Li Xiao wore a gray warrior robe and slowly entered the stage from the other side. His legs were shaking slightly. He did not change his nervousness before the battle. He did not expect that he was so popular, as if he was the winner tonight.
As soon as Li Xiao's feet stepped onto the ring, they stopped shaking. He had just been meditating and regulating his breath in the backstage of the ring. The spiritual energy in his body had just dissipated. At this moment, he was relaxed and could see all the forms of the spectators in the audience.
Lin Qing'er, who is a supervisor, actually took the initiative to greet you, speaking in a friendly tone with a little bit of sourness: "Young man, you have won the hearts of so many little ladies, I make my sister so jealous."
When these words were said, there was a commotion in the audience. Although some girls were dissatisfied with Lin Qing'er's blatant coquettishness, it also aroused the jealousy of Li Xiao among the male spectators.
It is jealousy that everyone has.
However, Li Xiao felt a ruthless glare on his face, and subconsciously looked back. He suddenly saw a person sitting in the front row of the VIP table. His face was covered by a brocade robe, but Li Xiao still recognized him at a glance - the head of the food line. Hu Buwei!
Thinking of Hu Buwei's threat that day, Liao Xiao's desolate temper rose and he simply looked at Lin Qing'er without any scruples: "Thank you for the love of my sisters! But I would rather die under my sister's skirt, or be a ghost and be romantic..."
This last sentence directly returned Hu Buwei's cruel words unchanged. The eyes of the food leaders in the audience became more and more sinister, and their murderous intent could not be concealed.
At that time, on the ring, a handsome young man and a charming oiran looked like a person in a painting, leaping into reality through the air. Such a pleasant scene made the men and women in the audience wish they could take their own lives. Of course, it was the man who took the place of dawn, and the woman. Enter Lin Qing'er.
But what appeared in front of him at dawn was Wu Xie's pure and innocent face, as if from the beginning of the creation of the Wa tribe to the end of the destruction of all things, she appeared just for him.
"Really? Young man, you have to work hard. As long as you win this year's championship, my sister will be here for you to taste." Lin Qing'er's eyes were like autumn water. It was obviously very close to dawn, but it seemed as if it was separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.
What he said made the jealous people in the audience speechless. After all, it takes a narrow escape to win the King of Challenges. Winning the favor of the courtesan is also his skill.
Ding Xiaobao, who was left alone, couldn't help but cough dryly to remind him of his presence.
Lin Qing'er then smiled and said: "Little fat man, don't be jealous. If you win the championship, my sister will spend the night with you."
Ding Xiaobao suddenly blushed and said coquettishly: "Little brother...that's not what I meant."
"Don't you want to?" Lin Qing'er joked again, and then continued to the topic, "I would like to invite the last contestant tonight..."
The third contestant appeared on the stage wearing a black robe. He was a dark-faced man, a head taller than Dawn, with thick limbs and powerful features, but his face was a little pale, as if he had no confidence.
Faced with Lin Qing'er's teasing, the big man looked dull and stood silently next to Ding Xiaobao. Although he was a little far away from Li Xiao, Li Xiao felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't explain the specific reason.
Lin Qing'er finished introducing the three contestants and was about to get to the main topic when suddenly something unexpected happened. Ding Xiaobao screamed and a splash of blood spattered from his chest. He was stabbed into the heart by a dagger. The person holding the dagger suddenly... A black-faced man.
The big man moved quickly and was very close to Ding Xiaobao, so he succeeded with one blow. He then pulled out the dagger and slashed his own throat. A splash of blood flew up, and he actually cut himself on the spot.
All this happened so quickly, when the audience was screaming in shock, Ding Xiaobao and the black-faced man had already fallen down, Ding Xiaobao was still twitching in his limbs, and the man was motionless.
Lin Qing'er and Li Xiao were the only ones left standing on the stage. Even the oiran lady was so graceful, she was so shocked by this unexpected situation that she couldn't say a word.
Dawn was dripping with cold sweat, but she thought that if the black-faced man stood beside her, she might end up like Ding Xiaobao.
Only then did he understand why he felt uncomfortable just now. The black-faced man obviously knew that Ji Lei could not win, so he simply killed himself, and even took someone on his back before he died.
But where did he get a dagger? Lin Qing'er is a cultivator of immortality, why didn't she realize it? Even my own level of Qi refining can feel it.
Li Xiao suddenly thought of something, narrowed his eyes, and quickly glanced at Hu Buwei in the audience, and found that he was also looking at him, with a hint of pride in his frivolous and sinister eyes!
Sure enough, it was this guy who did it. He should have used some kind of magic to deceive Lin Qing'er.
Li Xiao couldn't figure it out again. Why didn't Hu Buwei instruct the black-faced man to take action against him? However, the black-faced man has committed suicide, and there is no evidence of his death.
At this time, several guards rushed to the ring. Looking at the two fighters lying in a pool of blood, they were all a little at a loss. They had probably never encountered such a situation.
Lin Qing'er finally spoke: "Ding Xiaobao is still alive, carry him down quickly for first aid. Carry the dead man away as well, and clean the table."
Several security guards quickly took the order, and another security guard hurriedly came on stage and whispered a few words in Lin Qing'er's ear.
At this time, the gamblers who had bet on the dawn reacted and began to cheer excitedly.
Since the two fighters, one dead and the other injured, were carried off the ring, wouldn't it mean that they would win without a fight at dawn, and he would be the winner.
Of course, those powerful and wealthy people who didn't care too much about winning or losing were whispering to each other, and they all looked dissatisfied.
Li Xiao frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that things were not that simple. How could Hu Buwei be so kind and help him?
Sure enough, Lin Qing'er's face turned slightly pale, she glanced at him and made a solemn gesture to the audience, and then slowly spoke, with a clear and sweet voice that shocked the whole audience: "Everyone, please be patient! Although today's situation has never happened since the start of the competition, Guishe has also made plans. As the only season champion tonight, the competition at dawn will continue, and he will face the strongest among the zombies - Jian !”
At this moment, the dissatisfied spectators in the audience suddenly exploded, with exclamations, cheers, screams, and gasps all coming together, but one emotion was the same—excitement and excitement.
Dawn's scalp tightened, and she suddenly understood why Hu Buwei dared to say that he wouldn't survive Ji Lei. He was waiting here!
No one expected that there would be a ghost in the ghost market.
The drought-stricken demons are violent, as if they are in a panic, and the corpse first turns into a demon, and then turns into a beast.
No one has ever seen what Jian looks like, but it is said that when Jian appears, rivers of blood flow and corpses litter the land.
Although the legend is exaggerated, it is absolutely incompetent for a mortal to face a rogue.
Li Xiao didn't have any scruples this time, and looked directly at Hu Buwei in the audience. He stopped pretending, his eyes were smiling, and he looked like he was watching how your kid died.
Li Xiao knew that no one could protect him now, not Lin Qing'er, not Yao Xingshou, except for the innocent goddess Zhi Nuo.
As for why Wuxie said he would live longer than everyone else, Lixia couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, but he knew that all the benefits would not be obtained out of thin air. If he didn't work hard, he might not be able to receive this gift. Big benefit!
Therefore, his eyes turned to Kongkuang again, and with the courage and confidence Wuxie gave him, he followed the footsteps of her rebirth.
Dawn is full of pride: This world gave birth to me and raised me, but it will never bury me!
