Before she had even finished speaking, pitch-black flames began to rise from Huai Shi's chest. The tiles beneath his feet began to crack as Huai Shi shot through the air.
The invisible axe chopped downwards.
As if she could see the invisible axe, Luo Xian suddenly slid forward in a strange manner, barely dodging the axe's blade. Her ears twitched slightly, and a look of understanding appeared on her face.
"Is it an axe?"
"That's hard to say."
Huai Shi whistled. "An axe? A sword? No, it might even be a spear … … Do you want to give it a try? "
In his hand, the Origin Substance on the axe's blade constantly changed, constantly adjusting the axe's center of gravity and length. He casually chopped down, deceiving Luo Xian's senses.
Luo Xian was stunned.
An opportunity!
Huai Shi's eyes widened as he charged forwards again. However, the axe he swept out with was actually blocked by the mop.
It was as if he could see the shape of the axe's blade. The mop in Luo Xian's hand collided with the axe's handle, just barely managing to neutralize Huai Shi's attack.
As if she had discovered something, she couldn't help but laugh. "Little brother, you're so gentle. You're actually using the back of an axe?"
"It's called being polite."
Huai Shi suddenly charged forwards, chopping down with the axe again. However, when the mop collided with it again, the steel-like Origin Substance suddenly dissipated. Huai Shi raised his left hand and began to grow, forming the outline of a sacrificial blade that stabbed towards Luo Xian's neck.
Immediately afterwards, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Sloppy footwork!"
The mop's end whipped towards Huai Shi's calf, causing his entire body to go numb. Just as he was about to stumble, the mop suddenly trembled and chopped downwards in a curved arc towards Huai Shi's face.
Huai Shi's falling motion suddenly came to a halt. As the end of the cross-shaped spear stabbed out, his entire body moved in a strange arc, as if he were a pole vaulter. In an instant, he was within three steps of Luo Xian.
He raised his hand and clenched his fist.
Smash!
Bang!
Luo Xian took a step back in astonishment, and then pulled away from Huai Shi.
He seemed to be surprised.
"I almost thought you were a Roman." Luo Xian raised her hand and slowly wiped away the blood flowing out of her nostrils. She asked softly, "The footwork just now has a hint of the Inquisition's style. Where did you learn it?"
"Can't I be a Roman?"
Huai Shi asked in Latin.
"It shouldn't be, right?"
Luo Xian seemed to be amused by his cover up. "Such a unique mask … I remember your name is Huai Shi, right? Is it the one from Xin Hai? "
Huai Shi was stunned.
"After Xiao Bai came back, he told me a lot of things."
Luo Xian tilted her head and looked at him. "To be honest, since I've met him, I also want to see … what kind of genius would be crazy enough to confess to the White Emperor's son?"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time before he sighed helplessly. "I have to say that this is a misunderstanding."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care."
Luo Xian's nosebleed face revealed an excited smile again. She asked softly, "A duel is a pure thing. There is only victory and defeat, right?"
In her hand, the mop broke in two, and her arms slowly spread out.
The smiling big sister instantly turned into a blood-stained evil spirit.
"I have to be more serious …"
With a smile, she suddenly appeared in front of Huai Shi.
Then, Huai Shi flew backward.
In mid-air, his pupils shrank in shock. A terrible tear appeared on the clothes on his chest. Two intersecting bloodstains spread from where the wooden stick had slashed across his chest.
It was just a flesh wound.
But her speed … was frighteningly fast. In an instant, it had almost doubled.
Footwork?
It was that strange footwork!
It was similar to the legendary shrinkage, but it was not a camouflage formed by quietly moving forward with the toes and changing positions of the body. Instead, it was close to shortening the distance through that strange rhythm and trampling method!
Huai Shi landed on the ground and chopped down with his axe, trying to force Luo Xian away. But Luo Xian's feet once again slid three feet to the right out of thin air. After snatching Huai Shi's attack, she closed in on him step by step!
Since becoming a sublimator, for the first time, Huai Shi encountered an enemy that he could not suppress with his own skills.
No, the skills that he had obtained from countless deaths and records were actually suppressed by her skills!
Even without the Sacred Mark!
After several exchanges, the two wooden sticks in Luo Xian's hand did not collide with Huai Shi's weapon. Instead, they almost poked Huai Shi's vital parts several times.
If she had a sword in her hand, Huai Shi would have been injured.
Bang!
The change of sword and axe finally gave Huai Shi a chance to cut off a wooden stick in Luo Xian's hand.
Her speed slowed down.
Although she was a sublimator who had passed the puberty period, without the Sacred Mark, her physical strength was ultimately insufficient.
Luo Xian began to sweat.
He took the opportunity to take a step back and stared at her. "Who are you?"
"It's an unfamiliar big sister."
Luo Xian tilted her head and winked playfully. "Are you only interested in getting to know me now?"
Huai Shi did not speak. He lowered his head and looked at his chest.
There were two shallow wounds on his flesh.
But what puzzled him was that the blood did not stop flowing. It even flowed more and more, as if there was a trend of heavy bleeding.
"Dripping Spring."
Luo Xian suddenly said.
"Yes?"
"You've already demonstrated your soul ability, so I should at least explain mine, right?" Luo Xian said calmly. "You have also experienced it yourself. The effect is to make people bleed non-stop … So, if we want to fight a protracted battle, my side has the advantage."
"Is that so?"
Huai Shi stretched out his hand and wiped his chest.
The mercury-like liquid metal flowed on the wound, instantly sealing it.
Luo Xian was stunned.
"What kind of move is this?" She sighed in astonishment. "It's so despicable."
"The despicable part is yet to come."
Huai Shi shook his head. Under Luo Xian's feet, the green bricks that had been crushed by Huai Shi suddenly cracked. A grayish-black iron wire rope suddenly shot out from it and tightly wrapped around Luo Xian's ankle.
It stopped her for a moment.
Then, she saw Huai Shi bend down and assume a thrusting posture with an extremely irregular posture. He suddenly stepped forward, and a bright glow burst out from his hand.
"Eat my salted fish's thrusting spike!"
Soul Burning.
The surging flames in his chest suddenly burst forth. Following Huai Shi's movements, the cross-shaped spear that was sprinkling dragon blood pierced through the air in an instant.
Luo Xian's pupils dilated in an instant.
In the instant that she knew it was impossible, her waist weakly leaned back, avoiding Huai Shi's thrusting attack. Her cheek almost brushed against the horizontal branch of the spear, but her feet suddenly separated, and she stood still on the stone floor.
The last wooden stick in her hand stabbed towards Huai Shi's face.
It was as if she had long since calculated Huai Shi's fastest speed and reaction distance. At the last moment, it was too late to deliver this exquisite attack.
There was no way to dodge, no way to block, no way to retreat.
A fatal blow!
Huai Shi's hand only trembled.
The tip of the spear trembled.
Strands of dragon blood flew out, floating in the air. A thin line landed on her cheek.
The sharp wooden stubble suddenly froze in the air.
Her strength was exhausted.
The moment the Azure Crown Dragon's poison came into contact with her skin, it exploded from the Origin Substance. An irresistible tiredness and drowsiness rose in Luo Xian's consciousness.
She staggered and fell to the ground.
"Victory and defeat have been decided."
Huai Shi put away the spear and lowered his head to look at the powerless Luo Xian on the ground. Her hair had already turned gray.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Huai Shi sighed. He took out a syringe gun from his pocket, pressed it against her neck, and pulled the trigger.
The poison was relieved.
"I controlled the dosage. When we go back, find a good doctor and buy some antidotes to eat. You'll be fine." Huai Shi slowly stood up and said, "Don't worry, the aging brought by this light dosage is only temporary. It won't harm your body."
"Are you that kind?" Luo Xian couldn't help but laugh. "I wanted to kill you … … Are you the kind that's especially soft-hearted? You can't bear to kill a pretty girl when you see one? Ah, you definitely don't have a girlfriend … … "
"Although I don't understand what's going on, you and … … White Emperor's son are friends, right?"
Huai Shi sighed. "I owe her a big favor, a big, big favor. I've been thinking about how to thank her the next time we meet. I can't say that I'm sorry for killing your friend, right?"
"Hahaha." Luo Xian seemed to be amused by this joke. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Then I'll see you in Jinling. You'll participate in this year's Asian rookie competition, right?"
"Not necessarily." Huai Shi shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not that interested."
"Liar," Luo Xian said.
"Yeah?"
"You're actually very interested, right?"
As if she could see through the young man's heart, the sly older sister snorted softly and said, "Even if you say that you won't jump off a building, when you meet an opponent, your hands will still itch. When you meet more opponents, your heart will itch unbearably. When you meet an enemy that's like iron in their bones, you will be uncontrollably excited … Just like me.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have such a cold expression on your face, would you? “
Luo Xian stared into his eyes and grinned, "You look like you're completely saying that your opponents are a bunch of chickens and pottery dogs, so you're not interested at all!"
"… Whatever you say."
Huai Shi sighed and looked at her one last time. He turned around and walked to the front of the stage. He picked up the jar of tree blood that Crow said, turned around, and pushed the door open.
When he walked out of the venue, he saw the messenger who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Contestant, please wait."
The six-eyed messenger, who Lu Zhou had met once in the arena, came forward and said politely, "A judge has sent you a gift."
As he spoke, he raised the box in his hand and held it in front of Huai Shi's eyes.
"Judge?"
Huai Shi was stunned and immediately took two steps back. He was afraid that the box contained a curse that would make him eat sh * t for the rest of his life. "Why do you want to give me a gift?"
"Don't worry, this is not a curse or harmful item. It's an extra prize for you. It's a gift from that honorable lord."
As he spoke, his six eyes looked into the distance. Huai Shi followed his gaze and saw a majestic and huge carriage. Dozens of tall black horses were snorting and stomping the ground impatiently.
In the carriage, Lu Zhou could vaguely make out the outline. It was the huge shadow sitting at the back of the judges' table. Sensing Huai Shi's gaze, it slowly raised its hand and lowered the brim of its hat toward Huai Shi as a form of greeting.
"The leader of a large group from the depths of hell, the Blade of Doom, the ruler of the Death Factory, the honorable sponsor of the Cooking Demon Tournament, the unparalleled Butcher of Heaven — Lord Oink, that's what he said."
The servant repeated, "Although your cooking skills are not worth mentioning other than creativity, at least … your mask is very interesting."
As he spoke, he put the gift in Huai Shi's hand, bowed and said goodbye. Then, he left with the carriage and disappeared into the night.
"That's possible?"
Huai Shi touched the mask on his face and was stunned for a long time.
It was somewhat unbelievable.
