absolutely hot

The Lantern Race people under the stage had already shouted excitedly, but the silver-haired boy didn't make a move for a long time. Instead, he sat down on the floor beside the ring, with his knees cross-legged, his hands on his knees, his back straight, and he looked unusually patient: " I'll give you a quarter of an hour to rest. Don't force yourself to stand, I know you won't be able to stand long ago."

Lei Zhe was also polite, Da Lala sat down on the sidelines, bowed his head and began to bandage the wound.

The boy looked up at him: "Do you know that man?"

The movement of Lei Zhebao's wound stopped for a moment, and for some reason, the other party's question was so cryptic, yet he could still hear that it was fingering.

The silver-haired boy smiled, as if he had gotten the answer from his expression. He closed his eyes, as if hiding his strength and biding his time: "Two years ago, there was also a group of people who broke into the territory by mistake, and two of them left here alive. That The man who won two consecutive victories doesn't look strong, but he won two rings and defeated the two strongest Lantern warriors." Speaking of this, he opened his eyes, silver bangs blocked the dim light in his eyes, "One of them was my elder brother. He died in that battle. I was too young to take revenge but I couldn't."

Lei Zhe didn't expect this to happen. He knew that killing people was definitely not Blade's original intention. The death of the Lantern Warrior must have been accidental, but he was too lazy to argue with this paranoid young warrior, so he just confronted him: "It's your fault! Killed people, are there still few people who want to seek revenge from you?"

The young man turned a deaf ear to his words, Gu Zi closed his eyes again: "You are very similar to that man, so I won't let you leave alive."

"Are the two Lantern warriors who were defeated by the blade at that time also as confident as you?"

"Is his name Blade..." The silver-haired boy's mouth twitched into a sneer.

Tu Nan looked at the two people on the ring, no matter how uproarious the people off the stage were, the two on the stage remained unmoved.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the silver-haired boy stood up slowly while pressing his knees: "Let's get started."

.

The boy didn't draw out the knife, and Lei Zhe also put the dagger back, as if he didn't intend to take advantage of the other party.After saying the "start", there was not even half a second of opening warm-up, and the figure of the boy started like lightning!

Tunan heard a "bang", it was Lei Zhe hastily raised his hand to block the sharp kick of the jumping young man.

Different from other Lantern Warriors, the young man's body is very light. He jumped up and kicked directly on Lei Zhe's arm. Lei Zhe subconsciously wanted to block, but his injured left arm blocked in front of his right arm , vividly withstood the weight of the boy's whole body after volleying in the air, that foot stomped him half-kneeling down, the wound on his left arm was pulled open, and in an instant the whole arm seemed to be ripped apart in a frying pan, which made him gasp again and again. Cool.

The silver-haired boy landed from mid-air, moving like a cat.

"This is the beginning, isn't it?" The young man sneered, watching a piece of red spread on Lei Zhe's sleeves, the sleeves that had already been dyed dark red seemed to be painted with bright red watercolor again, the deep The shades of red made him feel some kind of indescribable joy, he raised his hand and punched his left arm, "Come on! My left hand is also injured, let me taste the taste of the wound!"

There were passionate shouts from the audience, and more than one voice shouted "Kill him". That scene gave Tunan the illusion that he was in the Colosseum.

.

Tunan originally thought that with Lei Zhe's strength, he could at least be on par with the young man, but he was wrong - the young man was too strong.

Not only strong, but also calm, every punch and every kick is directly aimed at the vital point - kicking Lei Zhe's lower abdomen while defending his upper body; bypassing Lei Zhe's punch and hitting the eye; dodging Lei Zhe's throwing elbow between the ribs...

Lei Zhe's movements were full of flaws in front of the silver-haired boy, Tu Nan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, Lei Zhe was not so weak!The reason why the scene is surprisingly one-sided is because this is not a completely fair contest as the boy said.Obviously, in the previous few battles, the boy had been observing Lei Zhe, and he knew Lei Zhe's moves like the back of his hand!

Tunan watched Lei Zhe being knocked down again and again, feeling very anxious.The silver-haired boy kicked Lei Zhe, who was lying on the ring, to the center of the arena again. The time Lei Zhe got up became shorter and shorter, and he kicked more and more recklessly, like kicking a stone or a sandbag, until The corner of the opponent's mouth overflowed with blood, and the storm-like intensive attack stopped. He walked over and said condescendingly to Lei Zhe, who was half upright:

"There is another reason why I don't drink medicinal wine. Medicinal wine can increase strength, but it can also make people unconscious, so your ugly circle tactics will work, but I don't fight by strength. If you want to avoid me, unless You climb off the ring." He said, grabbed Lei Zhe's shoulders with both hands, lifted him up, and threw him to the sidelines!

They are on the edge of the ring right now, this throw is enough to throw someone off the ring, falling off the ring means failure.Seeing Lei Zhe's body fall heavily into the ring, Tu Nan's heart sank suddenly.

The Lantern warriors watching the battle raised their arms and shouted, but the silver-haired boy had a very flat expression, and he walked slowly to the edge of the ring.

Lei Zhe didn't fall, he grabbed the edge of the ring with both hands, gritted his teeth and struggled to climb up.

With a sneer, the boy bent down and dragged him up, before throwing him back to the center of the field.

Tunan saw Lei Zhe being thrown to the ground, his body slid out, his wounds were torn on the rough ground, and there was blood all over the way he slid out, which was shocking to watch.

It was so painful, but Lei Zhe still stood up.

The silver-haired boy walked over and raised his foot to step on Lei Zhe's head, but this time he couldn't really step on it.His feet were held up.

The silver-haired boy raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and raised his head to look down at the black-haired boy who was crouching in front of Lei Zhe at some point, holding the soles of his boots firmly with his hands. This boy of his age moved like a sneaking cat , which amuses him.

"I'll fight you on his behalf." Shaar raised his eyes and looked at him coldly.

The boy withdrew his feet and smiled arrogantly: "If you want to fight me for him, you have to prove that you are stronger than him, because I only fight against the strongest. He won two games in a row by himself, no doubt better than all of you." Everyone is strong," he said with a contemptuous glance at Lei Zhe, who was seriously injured on the ground, "Even if he is like a pile of rags, he is better than mud like you." After speaking, he kicked Xia off the ring!

That kick was sudden and brutal, and even Xia Ya was born with quick reflexes and couldn't dodge it. Tunan stepped forward to help Xia Ya who fell under the ring. He had never seen anyone who could kick Xia Ya so far. The distance of the Lantern Clan youth is full of strength, skills, and brains, and he is extremely cruel.He looked at Lei Zhe who wanted to get up again and again and was trampled down by the young man again and again, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted at the man with the goatee who presided over the ring:

"Enough!! He can't get up anymore!! Shouldn't he be sentenced to failure from the count down?!"

No one was counting down, only the frantic shouts of "Kill him" filled my ears.

Lei Zhe felt as if he was being kicked and kicked by countless people. His mouth was full of blood, and there were some things that were not blood but he didn't know what they were. He was afraid to spit them out, and then the blood flowed back to his head, never It flowed out of his nasal cavity and gurgled in his ears. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't know whether the blood flowed into his eyes or flowed out of them.

The boy hadn't moved the knife yet, just like this, his head was bleeding, and his seven orifices were bleeding.

Through the blood in the ears, the voices of people around the arena are like boiling water, like sea tides, high and low, far and near, every time the young man kicks him, the image in front of him will flash, as if every kick could Be the last blow he takes and plunge him into eternal darkness.

He was kicked in the head again, the back of his head fell heavily on the ground, and he turned sideways weakly, all the sounds disappeared, only the rumble in his mind was like a landslide, and his vision was flickering and flickering , when he thought that there would be no more light after the darkness, his fragile vision lit up a little bit, and in a trance, he saw a familiar figure standing by the ring...

The man was dressed in a slim black short windbreaker, with slightly long dark black hair, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was looking at him quietly.

He couldn't bite his lip, and the blood in his mouth was mixed with a strange liquid, which made him very sad, because it was clearly an illusion, a symbol of his fragility and incompetence.

He had seen such hallucinations more than once, how he wished they were not hallucinations.He is not a natural atheist, because Ba never believes in the theory of strange powers and chaos, he would say that if you see something, but no one else can see it, it only proves that what you see only exists in your mind, in other words , what you see is only your illusion.

At that time, he despised this kind of nonsensical statement:

"It's too arbitrary for you to say that. Is it impossible for someone to have psychic abilities?"

"Why do you have to believe that someone has this ability?"

He also couldn't explain why, with both hands leaning back on the hood of the Hummer, he looked up at the deep blue sea of ​​stars, which was really the sea of ​​stars, because he complained that human beings are in the end of the world, and the light pollution is gone, so why can't we still see the bright stars? To see the night sky, Yan asked him to calm down and look up at his neck for a while, saying that it could improve the light-gathering ability of the pupils. He still did it because of the respect of his military adviser.

It turned out to be true.Although the fact may be that the pupil's light-gathering ability has become stronger, it feels more like the magic cast by the blade at some point.

"I just think..." The stars floated out of the sea one after another, and they seemed to be within reach at a distance of tens of thousands of light years. He thought for a while and said, "This way the world will be a little better."

At that time, Ren was silent for a long time, and this nonsensical reason must have made Ren snort, even he himself wanted to complain, whether the world is beautiful or not has nothing to do with ghosts, zombies are bad enough, okay...

There was a crackling sound of firewood in his ears, probably because he had added some firewood to the campfire.Then he suddenly heard Blade say:

"Hallucinations and ghosts can be a thing. Like 'God is in people'."

He even forgot to look at the stars, and looked down at the young man in black by the campfire in amazement, as if he heard Copernicus say that the sun-centered theory and the earth-centered theory can be the same thing, and Kant said that sensibility and rationality can be the same thing.

……

The fists and kicks falling on Lei Zhe seemed to be endless. He squinted his eyes and stared at the blade on the sidelines. The wind blowing from nowhere shook the sleeves of the black windbreaker, and he looked as if he was really standing. As if there, as if he would come over and give him a hand...

I never told you that the way you compromised expressionlessly at that time was actually very gentle.But you never know why I say "the world would be a better place this way".

Because if people have souls, if there are ghosts in the world, I will feel that I am not alone.You say God is in people's hearts, but it's not enough for me that my God is in the heart...I want him to be around me.

Lei Zhe closed his eyes wearily, and the phantom finally disappeared in the inorganic darkness.That's an illusion, not a blade.

With his eyes closed, his hearing became clearer, and he heard the arrogant laughter of the Lantern boy above his head, and the people around him excitedly shouting "Kill him".

The difference in strength is too great, there should really be nothing to do this time, but fortunately this is only his arena, at least Tunan and Shaar are safe.

"What's the matter? There's no way to fight back at all?" The boy picked him up again and threw him to the sidelines, "Do you think it's over like this?!"

The fall was actually not heavy, but the ruptured organs still received a huge impact when it landed, the pain made him almost faint, but at this moment, he heard a voice:

"He is abusing you, protect your vitals."

The familiar clean and clear voice, not separated by fog, not suddenly approaching or far away, but it was heard in the middle of the crowd of voices.

He opened his eyes in disbelief, half of his vision was blurred by blood, and Ren was standing in front of him, squatting down slowly.

"Lei Zhe, I don't have a knife." The handsome young man in black slowly extended his hands to him, with empty palms under his outstretched five fingers, "Did the hallucinations you saw before have a knife?"

Lei Zhe stared at Ren's hands with wide eyes. The shallow lines on his palms, his bony fingers, and his slightly pale complexion all looked familiar to him.Yes, those hallucinations, they all have knives, because the two Yueshan Zhenli are already an inseparable part of Yen in his heart, but when Yen died, those two knives had already been taken away by Lou Zhan...

The surrounding shouts and shouts echoed against the sky, and Ren looked at him with calm eyes: "I said that hallucinations and ghosts are one thing, and they are one thing. You think I'm not enough in your heart, I'm just in your heart." around you."

Lei Zhe looked at the person in front of him without blinking. This kind of blade has nothing to do with whether it is real or not, and it has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not. It is like staring at the starry sky for a long time, finally revealing their brilliant and warm original appearance.

The silver-haired boy's footsteps came again, Ren raised his head to look in the direction where the boy was coming, and squeezed his hand tightly: "He is here, do as I say."

Seeing that the young man had already won but refused to give up, Tunan rushed towards the ring, but was stopped by two guards from the Lantern clan on the left and right. The silver-haired boy seemed to want to torture Lei Zhe alive on the ring, but Lei Zhe turned his body sideways , hugging his head, curled up his back, looking more distressed than before.

——Hold your head to protect your head; turn over to the left so as not to expose the wounds on your thighs and arms; turn over to one side so that he can only kick you on the back; curl up your back to reduce the area of ​​the kicked injury; Keep your limbs in front of your body to protect your internal organs and vital organs.

— To him, you are now worse than defenseless, so he is completely defenseless, and now you just have to wait for an opportunity.

——But this is your only chance, you can't come back with your bare hands, you have to use a knife.

chance... chance...

Lei Zhe felt that the heavy kicks raining down on his back were out of order. He didn't know when he could hold it, and the opportunity came sooner than he imagined.

The silver-haired boy seemed to think that he had had enough tormenting, and finally stopped. There was a surge of shouts from the sidelines, and Lei Zhe noticed a shadow cast on the bloody arena—the boy drew out his scimitar.

"Goodbye." The boy squatted down and raised his arms!

Tu Nan rushed to the ring recklessly. At this moment, Lei Zhe, who was on the verge of death, suddenly turned over, his legs caught the young man's neck and threw him to the ground!

This scissors legs are imposing, but they don't have much strength. If the opponent is not completely defenseless, he can't knock people to the ground. Even if he succeeds, with his youthful physical strength, he still has a chance to make his life worse than death.

It's just that this time he won't give the opponent any chance, the sharp dagger has already quickly reached the boy's neck.

The audience went from an uproar to deathly silence, until Tunan shouted excitedly: "...We won! We won!!"

Lei Zhe didn't let go of the dagger easily. He sat on the boy's chest, with his back to the host, panting and asked hoarsely, "Did I win?"

You, the man with the goatee, was still in shock, blinked his eyes in a trance, and didn't reply.

"Did I win—"

Lei Zhe shouted loudly, that majestic shout formed a strong contrast with his thin and delicate appearance.Tunan looked at Lei Zhe, who was covered in blood, his eyes were hot.

Lei Zhe pressed the dagger tightly against the young man's chin. His hand was trembling because of excitement and injury. If he didn't have the remaining reason, he might have already cut him down.

The man with the goatee could no longer turn a blind eye or a deaf ear, and said with difficulty: "...you won."

Only then did Lei Zhe let go of the dagger, his hand could no longer hold the handle steadily, and the dagger fell to the ground with a jingle. The silver-haired boy lay on the ground, staring at him with hatred in his eyes, but he thought this expression was beautiful Excellent, it was the highest praise for him, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but a slight smile.

Tu Nan swung away the two Lantern guards who were blocking him, rushed to the ring, and supported Lei Zhe who was about to fall.

Lei Zhe let himself fall on Tunan. If possible, I really hope there is a bed to lift him down.He knows that he can't die, and he should still be a disaster for 1000 years, and he still has a lot of time to do things that no longer only satisfy his personal heroism, but can truly heal this dying world. After the destruction, this was the first time he felt joy in surviving.

I don't know how Tunan brought him off the ring, who was paralyzed into a ball of mud. When he got off the ring, he looked back to the corner of the ring. There was nothing there except the swirling wind.

He raised his head, but the wind blew away the haze that covered the sky and made the sky blue.
