War Lord

Chapter 769: Just ask for 1 battle

If there are any standardized buildings in the free zone, it must be the fighting hall. The fighting hall is provided for duels, a relatively fair battle arena. Each fighting hall can accommodate about two hundred people to watch the battle, and at the same time is equipped with twenty soldiers to maintain order. This is the only military configuration of the military in the free zone.

There is a magnetic defensive force field around the arena of the fighting hall. Four high-power force field generators maintain such a closed protective cover, which can prevent the energy from both sides of the battle from overflowing and hurting the audience. Of course, a defensive force field of this specification can only prevent the power overflow of those with abilities below the eighth level. For the ninth-tier peak like Zero, if you do your best, let alone a defensive field, it is not surprising that the fighting hall is lifted to the sky.

There are certain conditions for using the fighting hall. First of all, both parties must show their own property notarization, which is the remaining points under the current credit card. Those who are less than 10,000 cannot use the fighting hall and can only play street challenges. Also, neither means nor bets are counted. There is almost no rule in wild fighting.

The use condition of 10,000 credits is to prevent the winner from having enough credits to pay the ransom in case of casualties on both sides of the battle. The street challenge is different, because the stakes are not limited. Even the victorious party cannot guarantee that it will be able to pay the ransom, let alone pay for the use of the fighting hall.

The fee for using the fighting hall will be paid by drawing 10% of the credits from the bet paid by the loser. Even if the other party only has 10,000 credits, the fighting hall can also get a 1,000 rake. For the maintenance of equipment and labor costs It's more than enough.

This is a rigorous use mechanism. Fighting in the fighting hall means accepting military supervision. Even if the winning side kills, he still has certain privileges here, for example, he can go to Thebes prison in dignity. Then, as long as the ransom is paid, he will be able to come back neatly in one day at the earliest, and so on.

Street challenges are different, if the winner does not have enough credits to pay the ransom. The result was taken away by the soldiers, and then mysteriously disappeared.

Accepting Raymond's challenge, Zero generously left the Prancing Horse Bar with him, and then headed all the way to the nearest fighting arena. I heard that the newcomer Zero is going to have a fight with Raymond. There are many good deeds in the Prancing Horse Bar, so naturally they clamored to follow. The muscular girl Ageroni immediately stopped at the door and asked for alcohol. Those who did not pay would not be allowed to let it go.

In the end, even Gordon followed and looked at the empty bar. Ageroni gritted her teeth and roared, "It closes in advance."

Leaving her buddy aside, she quickly walked away, following Gordon.

Walk through a side street, you can see the fighting hall. Because it is a military venue, the appearance of the fighting hall looks much more mid-range than any building in the free zone. It is a square building with two front and rear gates, only one floor high, with an arena and auditorium.

Raymond walked in front, yelled at a few soldiers guarding the door at the entrance, and pointed at Zero again, to the effect that he was going to have a fair fight with him in the fighting arena. The soldier nodded, took out the card reader, and asked the challengers to show their credit points. After Zero and Raymond used their own credit cards, the results were displayed on two large screens on the outer wall of the fighting hall.

The avatars of the credit card holders and the number of points appeared on each screen. Zero had 240,000, and Raymond had 60,000. They were fully qualified to use the fighting hall, so the soldiers began to let them go. When Raymond and Ling walked in first, the crowd followed along, wanting to enter the arena to watch the battle. At this time, several cars galloped from the other side of the street and stopped near the fighting hall with sharp brakes.

Following the first car, a man who couldn't talk about how tall he was, he was probably in his forties. In his prime of life, with loose hair and a mustache, a pair of dead fish eyes scanned the audience with a slightly crazy smile, making everyone who was touched by his eyes shudder. He took out a wine bottle at random, took a sip, and then shouted: "Tonight, the fighting hall is reserved by our **** blade. Except for our more than 100 brothers, other people who want to enter the stadium to watch the battle must be We agree. If those who dare to make trouble, be careful I squeeze your eggs!"

With a laugh, the man strode towards the front door of the fighting hall. The crowd separated immediately, because this man was Richard the lunatic. No one was willing to provoke him easily, including Ageroni and Gordon, so they also stood aside. Then, there were more and more cars on the side of the street, and all the members of Bleeding Blade came down. Regardless of their appearance, body shape, and clothes, they all wear a turban with a blood-dagger pattern around their heads, which is very easy to recognize.

As Richard walked through the crowd, he stopped in front of Gordon and Ageroni. Richard looked at them and said, "Old man Gordon, you are here too. Thinking about it, we haven't seen each other for a long time, haven't we?"

"It's been five or six years."

"Time flies so fast. After this game, I invite you to the Prancing Horse Bar for a drink." He looked at Ageroni again and said with a smirk: "I don't know if the boss welcomes it."

"As long as I don't hit the field, of course I am welcome." Ageroni said directly.

"Very good." Richard shouted towards the people behind: "This old man, and this woman, give them a special seat."

After finishing speaking, he said to Gordon: "Your vision has always been very accurate. I don't know whose chance you see has the better chance of winning tonight?"

"Are you going to bet?" Gordon laughed: "Then I will bet all my property on the new man."

"Raphae?" Richard smiled: "Interesting, you probably don't know. How much Raymond wants to kill this man these years, and he has also been promoted to Tier 7. In this case, you still think that the newcomer has a chance of winning. ?"

"Yes or not, you only know if you have played, don't you?"

"Okay, I've written down your bet." Richard patted Gordon on the shoulder and said, "I wish you a nice evening."

"To each other."

When Richard strode into the fighting hall, the zero and Raymond on the stage were already sitting on two sides, forming a diagonal line. Raymond stared at Zero, who was pretending to be Raphael, who closed his eyes and didn't seem to take him seriously. This made Raymond very uncomfortable. In terms of his current strength, a mere Raymond did not put him in the eye.

In the Prancing Horse Bar, Zero had already activated the genetic detection of Golden's right eye and scanned Raymond, knowing that he was a seventh-order dark system ability person. Abilities include touch of darkness, invisible cutting, and shadow puppets. Touch of Darkness and Invisible Slicing are a pair of combined skills. The former will make the opponent blinded by the influence of the dark element by touching the opponent. In this state, Raymond can perform offensive invisible cutting. Easily behead the opponent.

Shadow puppets are a type of elemental puppets, which can gather dark elements to form invisible and quality shadow puppets. The shadow puppet comes with abilities such as the death sickle and shadow rope, which is a kind of restraining skill.

In general, Raymond's single ability is not outstanding, he is better at combination of ability. After reading his abilities, Zero can roughly infer his tactics. It is nothing more than using the shadow puppet to contain it. When the shadow puppet activates the shadow rope to bind the opponent, it uses the touch of darkness to impose a negative state, and finally kills the enemy with an invisible cut.

Zero closed his eyes and made an arrogant posture, but in reality he used Raymond's ability to evaluate his tactics and then decide the means of countermeasures. In fact, if it is fully deployed with zero combat power, it doesn't need to be so troublesome at all. Below the eighth rank, sending him to his men is not a part of a spike. It's just that his current identity is Raphael, and his ultimate goal is to enter Thebes prison, so he can kill Raymond, but he can't be too strong.

One of the measures still needs to be handled carefully.

What's more, the big fish he wants to catch is not a small character like Raymond. But...

Zero finally opened his eyes and looked at a certain direction in the auditorium, and then he saw Richard. He didn't know Richard yet, but when he saw him, Zero knew that this man was the lunatic Gordon said. With just one glance, Zero will recognize him. Then Ling nodded to him, Richard was slightly surprised, his lips curled up, and said softly: "Interesting, do you want to challenge me?"

At this time, the fighting hall began to have spectators entering the arena one after another. Most of them are members of the Blade of Blood, and the younger half are people like Gordon who rushed to hear the news. However, except for Gordon and Ageroni, all the other audiences who enter the venue are required to pay 100 credits to the Blood Blade. This cost can't be said to be high, and the Blade of Blood does not rely on this to make money.

The money is still gambling based on the outcome of the duel. The Blood Blade is naturally the banker, and the handicap opened a dozen in the free zone in a short period of time, absorbing gambling funds frantically. As everyone knows, Raymond has been in Sin City for many years, and he is also the best player besides Richard in Bleeding Blade. In many people's minds, Rafi, who is a rookie, has no chance of winning at all.

Therefore, the win-loss ratio between Raymond and Zero had soared to a frenzied one to ten before the start.

However, there are also a few people who bet money on the black horse of Zero, because they have also heard that just today, they cut their blood-toothed hands with one knife. Bloodfang is only second-rate in the Blade of Blood, but if he can cut his wrist and palm, he is also a fierce character.

What's more, he has a huge amount of money, and an incompetent person can't get so much money.

After the audience took the seat, the challenge officially began. When the duel limit icon on the LCD screen above the pendulum turns from red to blue, the force field generators around the arena also start to work. A light waterfall like a water curtain rises from around the ring, and when it is closed in the middle to form a protective cover, the light curtain disappears, so that it will not have any impact on the spectator.

Raymond stood up and said, "Raphae, do you know what I want to do most after killing you?"

Without waiting for a zero answer, Raymond grinned and said, "I want to freeze your corpse, and then cut a piece of meat every day. I think it must be delicious."

"It's a pity, I don't think you will have this opportunity." Ling said lightly.

"Wait and see, soon, you have to kneel and beg me to let go of your dog!" Raymond laughed and stretched out his hand to the space next to Zero.

A large number of dark elements quickly converge, reaching a level that can be observed by the naked eye. Then the group of dark elements continued to distort and grow, eventually forming a shadow puppet with no face, humanoid shape, long hands and long feet. As soon as the shadow puppet spawned, it immediately rushed towards Zero. At the same time, Raymond threw a large number of low-level abilities, such as toxin clouds, dark balls, dark beams, etc., in conjunction with the shadow puppets to bombard zero.

Under the interference of these low-level abilities of Raymond, Zero seemed to be struggling to cope. This allowed the shadow puppet to catch an opportunity, when his fingers grew violently, forming a shadow rope to wrap around Zero's arms and body. Raymond yelled, "You're done," his figure flickered, and he walked around to Zero and stretched his finger to activate Shadow Touch. Then he retreated violently and waved his hands, and the invisible cutting wave was cut to zero.

"Please forgive me, Raphael. Now that you can't see anything, how can you avoid my invisible cut!" Raymond laughed wildly, waving his hand, throwing bunches of invisible cuts toward zero.

"Look?" Ling said with a cold smile: "It's a pity, I have long passed the age of capturing motion with my eyes. On the other hand, Raymond, you haven't made any progress over the years."

So Raymond saw Zero turn around and face himself accurately. What made Raymond chilling was that Zero closed his eyes. First, he broke free of the shadow rope of the shadow puppet, and then his body kept shaking. The direction, speed and slowness of his swaying can be found without any regularity. But every time it shook, it just happened to make a bunch of invisible cuts pass by.

With a small step, Ling approached Raymond with the five fingers of his left hand lightly with the scabbard of the blood-colored dusk. So far, Zero still hasn't made a knife. Regardless of the level of abilities among the people watching the battle, they can feel that there is no way out of the sword, and the time when they are out must be the winner.

This is purely a feeling, the feeling conveyed to them by zero movements and aura!

On the other hand, Raymond seemed to occupy the main offensive, but who could tell. Raymond, who was attacking, was at a disadvantage. No one knew how Zero did it. Only Richard straightened his body. With his eyesight, it was natural to see that Ling used her own movement to push Raymond into this situation, which made Richard excited, and he wanted to end the battle for Raymond.

Of course Richard will not end, so Raymond can only rise up to counterattack. He sent out a thought to the shadow puppet, and the latter immediately pounced on, twisting and stretching his hands and feet, which had no physical form, and turned into a sickle shape. Then it bounced and rotated, forming a black storm that rolled towards zero.

In the storm, death's sickle was looming!

"After so many years, you still don't understand. Instead of using so many abilities to cooperate to achieve the goal of limiting and killing the opponent. Why not concentrate all your energy on one ability, as long as you kill the opponent in one hit. Isn't it? It doesn't take so much effort to match these boring abilities..."Zero rushed forward, slightly lifting the scabbard in his hand.

Raymond was shocked. He felt that the speed of the shadow puppet was always slower.

Then, the light in the fighting hall dimmed, and people saw a red light like a rainbow, flashing in the air in a moon and a half.

It's not that the light in the fighting hall has dimmed, but the sword light displayed by the zero sword is too strong, so there is a huge contrast in light perception.

When the zero is set, the knife returns to its sheath. The black storm created by the shadow puppet disappeared into the air silently. The remaining dark element tail flames just touched the floating cloak.

Raymond was still standing there, seeing the audience confused.

Then, two words suddenly came out from Raymond's mouth: "You don't..."

Before he finished speaking, his head slipped off in a dislocation and rolled to his feet. Then a wave of blood spurted from the broken neck, and the headless corpse knelt on both knees, and then threw it next to its head. On Raymond's head, his mouth was open like a dead fish, and his eyes that had lost their focus were only empty and reflected zero.

In Zero's mortal sword, Raymond suddenly realized that this man was not Raphael. No matter how strong Rafael was, he couldn't be so ridiculously strong. That stunning knife, the instantaneous burst of speed and power, is no longer the level that a seventh-order ability person can reach. So Raymond knew that Raphael was fake, but never had a chance to speak out again.

As soon as the cut was received, even Richard had no time to appreciate the mystery. Only Raymond, the dead man, felt it personally with his own life. Of course, the price is huge.

After nearly a minute, there was a stormy voice in the audience. Zero that cut is a picture they don't want to forget in this life. People who can sit in the fighting hall are thankful that they have watched this thrilling duel~lightnovelpub.net~ After this, they will have the opportunity to brag to others.

Gordon sat in his seat and whispered with a wry smile: "Why do I feel like I'm on a thief boat? Damn, I'm really old, I didn't realize that this little guy turned out to be a ruthless character. "

He won at Zero, but because he killed someone, the soldiers in charge of law enforcement wanted to step forward. Richard suddenly yelled and stood up and said: "I want to add another duel. That's right, it's with this guy who killed Raymond. The stakes are naturally all my possessions!"

As soon as these words came out, the four exclaimed. Forget about Raymond, no one thought that Richard would still speak up to challenge when the zero new wins and the imposing manner, he deserves to be a man in the name of a lunatic. And his bets are also crazy. Even people who don't know the details know that after so many years of business, Richard's fortune will never be less than zero. Even, I am afraid there are millions of credit points.

This is a wealth that is crazy enough to make people crazy, but now it is easily thrown by Richard.

Just ask for a fight!

Zero finally laughed, because Big Fish was hooked. Next, naturally is the stage of closing the net.
