Chapter 121 Alert Lynx and Resolute Wild Boar
Listening to the roaring cries in the arena, Huo Jixing's expression relaxed as he stepped into the dark passage.
The feeling of loading up and running away is indeed very good.
He looked at the stunned young Noxian soldier and sword boy Heini in front of him, waved gently, drew their attention, and returned to the room together.
Compared to the previous ordinary gladiatorial performances according to the rules.
Huo Jixing's exaggerated performance at the end shocked everyone.
Including many liquidators, it is very worthy of them to take a good look and learn from it.
That night, Huo Jixing also received the envy of Draven.
This glorious executioner expressed that he liked his performance very much, compared to his previous arrogant and deliberate performances.
Huo Jixing used the performance skills in his past life memories to give these barbaric Noxians a real art performance lesson.
After talking for a while, Draven gained a lot of insights and left with an extremely excited expression.
In terms of arrogant character, Draven has to be fearless.
After handling all the matters, Huo Jixing calmed down.
After all, the outcome of the gladiatorial battle is a matter of life and death, so he must be well prepared.
On the second day, the performance of Ring of Fire continued.
Even though the cold winds of winter were blowing, there were still many Noxians pouring into the Noxskalia Arena.
Last night's gladiatorial performance, after half a day of fermentation, caused a sensation in the capital of Noxus.
Such a rule-breaking yet highly effective killing won the hearts of Noxians.
Although the final killing performance last night was somewhat exaggerated.
But in the pursuit of novelty, the more exaggerated the performance, the more Noxians were attracted.
This also indirectly tells Huo Jixing's extraordinary strength!
Knoskalia Arena, in a spacious and quiet room.
"The final opponent can't afford to be sick?"
After Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth, he raised his brow slightly and looked at the young Noxian soldier.
"Yes, Lord Draven has rearranged your opponents." The young Noxian soldier nodded slightly, feeling a little confused in his heart.
Generally speaking, the liquidator for each battle is determined in advance and will not be changed easily.
Hearing this, Huo Jixing nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
It seems that the exaggerated gladiatorial performance last night caused the nobles to misjudge his strength, so they temporarily replaced the liquidator.
Thinking of this, Huo Jixing smiled.
These nobles are used to making small moves in secret.
However, Draven acquiesced in their doing so, which seemed to be in line with the rules of the arena.
Immediately he began to close his eyes and rest, waiting for the performance that was about to begin.
Boom! Boom!
As night fell, the young Noxian soldier knocked on the door.
Huo Jixing stood up, followed silently by the sword boy Heini.
As soon as he walked out of the room, a waiting soldier from the Trifali Legion handed over a folded letter.
He first looked at the young Noxian soldier and pretended not to see him when he saw him. Then he opened the letter and read it carefully.
"Savage Reckoner, a transcendent one?"
The information in the letter is about the target of this gladiatorial battle, the Savage Reckoner from Freljord.
In the harsh land of Freljord, there is a group of people who are born with a deep connection with spiritual magic.
These battle shamans are called "spirit walkers"!
In order to escape the terrifying cold wave and the increasingly fierce war in Freljord, many beast spirit walkers led their tribes and left their hometown.
Either go to Demacia, or go to Noxus, or wander around.
The beast spirit walkers who came to the Noxus Empire used their abilities to ensure that the tribe could survive in this cruel land.
Huo Jixing closed the letter and thought of the Freljord, the beast spirit apprentice and the spirit fox wanderer that he had fought against before.
"It's just a performance, have you already sent out extraordinary beings?"
"Then I'll shock you a little more."
Huo Jixing whispered softly, rubbed his fingers, and ignited The fierce flames burned the letter in his hand into ashes and scattered them to the ground.
“Hello, fellow gladiator fans!”
“Now, let us welcome yesterday’s best liquidator——”
"Suzaku!"
The voice of the arena announcer aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.
At the same time, many new Noxians stood up and looked at the open iron gate, wanting to see the rumored Reckoner.
Under the lingering voice of the arena announcer.
Huo Jixing enjoyed the gaze of thousands of people and stepped into the Huangsha Arena.
Then, a deafening wave of sound swept up the surrounding flames.
In the honor seat in the front row, cold and piercing gazes crossed the flames and fell on the capable man who had just stepped into the Huangsha Arena.
Huo Jixing raised his brows lightly, a smile appeared on his lips, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and stepped forward.
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
After experiencing the previous gladiatorial killings, the yellow sand ground was a little hot, and the deep red blood dried and condensed.
Huo Jixing stopped and looked at the brutal liquidator before he stood up.
The rough face, cold eyes, and shabby linen clothes cannot hide the body that hides like a cheetah.
There are also marks engraved on the face, as if there is a flash of dark blue light.
It is somewhat different from the beast spirit walkers I saw before, and the clouds are also richer. Huo Jixing thought secretly.
Crack!
On the yellow sand ground, scorching sparks burst out.
The silent barbarian liquidator immediately moved forward, a flash of blue light filling his eyes.
Before this fight, he had already obtained detailed information about the person in front of him. He was a flame supernatural being who was good at using knives.
At the same time, he also heard about the exaggerated performance last night.
In order for the tribe to survive, and for the bounty of this gladiatorial battle.
He must go all out to close the distance and not give the opponent a chance to draw his sword.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Suddenly, a harsh cat meow sounded in the boiling arena.
Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed, filled with red light.
He saw a lynx phantom emerging behind the Savage Liquidator, grinning at him, issuing a fatal warning.
【Astute Bobcat】!
With his eyes flashing, the Savage Liquidator directly crossed a distance of more than 20 meters and appeared in front of Huo Jixing.
That cold gaze seems to be telling:
You are too confident and have put yourself in a situation of death!
Click!
The blue sharp claws swung down, with a biting chill, cutting through the air and falling towards Huo Jixing's neck.
But the next moment!
A long sheathed knife stood in front of his eyes, blocking the blue claws just right.
The Savage Liquidator landed on the ground, took advantage of his strength, and jumped up nimbly.
As the lynx phantom flashed, it appeared behind Huo Jixing again, waving its sharp claws.
Click!
Again, the long sheathed knife blocked the sharp claws.
The Savage Liquidator looked shocked, looking at Huo Jixing who was not moving in front of him, and took action one after another.
The result is still the same.
No matter which direction he strikes from, the long sheathed sword can always block his attack.
The savage liquidator seemed not to believe in evil, and the blue light flashed fiercely in his cold eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he left a series of agile blue afterimages in the air, in the shape of waving claws, densely surrounding the Hoji star.
Looking from a distance, it looks like there are countless angry blue lynxes, grinning and clawing at the enemy.
The howling wind caused even suppressed the scorching flames around it.
Faced with such a wave-like offensive. Huo Jixing still had his feet on the yellow sand, not moving an inch, using his sheathed sword to block attacks again and again.
Such a wonderful display of skills. Instantly ignited the auditorium of Knox Scalia Arena.
Every audience member shouted loudly and loudly, like a torrent rushing through every corner.
The long-awaited Suzaku once again showed an exaggerated gladiatorial performance.
“It’s too slow!”
Huo Jixing stood still, his eyelids lowered, and he waved the sheathed sword casually, blocking the barbaric liquidators' attacks again and again.
"If it only has this little power, it can be over."
Perhaps sensing Huo Jixing's thoughts, the Savage Liquidator stopped attacking and landed not far away.
He twisted his body, straightened his arms, and stepped on the sand with his feet.
There is a light and crisp sound in the body.
【Fortitude Wild Boar】!
Thick earthy yellow light fills the body.
The Savage Liquidator's mouth opened slightly, with sticky saliva dripping, and an earthy yellow light suddenly entered his blue eyes.
Suddenly!
The Savage Liquidator couldn't bear the chaotic emotions in his consciousness and let out a low howl.
Behind him, the phantom of the lynx had not yet disappeared, and the phantom of a wild boar covered in hard burrs appeared, with its fangs upright and its crazy eyes staring at Huo Jixing.
With the combination of the two, the aura of the Savage Liquidator surged.
Bang!
The barbaric liquidators stamped their feet angrily, and the yellow sand ground suddenly sunk deeply, causing fine dust to explode.
With the blessing of [Astute Lynx] and [Resolute Wild Boar], he rushed straight towards Huo Jixing like an arrow from the string.
In the honorary seat at the front of the arena, many people stood up and squinted their eyes, hoping to better see the process of this fight.
Click! Click!
The red golden light flashes.
The khaki arms of the Savage Liquidator, which turned into fangs, were broken directly from the middle, and the pale bone stubble was bloody and exposed to the air.
A long crimson knife, with knife and handle, penetrated the head.
"Uh huh huh."
The Savage Liquidator opened his mouth and let out a slight gasp, and his broken arms were like slender green willows, rippling in the wind.
He looked at Huo Jixing, the look of prayer in his eyes had not disappeared.
Poof!
As the crimson sword was drawn out, the barbarian liquidator hid his body like a cheetah and fell to the yellow sand ground.
Twitching from time to time.
Huo Jixing's pace never moved even half a step from beginning to end.
Looking at the body of the Savage Liquidator, he sighed softly. Even though there were two beast spirits blessing him, their skill levels were very different.
This time he did not choose to leave directly.
Facing the eyes that fell on the honor seat, Huo Jixing swung the long knife, placed it between his neck, and lightly scratched it, full of provocation.
It can be regarded as a response to the nobles' dirty tactics of temporary substitution!
After doing all this, he turned and walked towards the dark passage.
In the Knox Scalia Arena, after a moment of silence, the arena began to boil again, with everyone cheering and making noise.
Compared to last night’s killing like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.
This time, the simple and efficient battle between extraordinary beings is no less impressive.
Of course, for viewers, it’s more about the excitement of betting and winning money.
In the dark arena passage.
Huo Jixing stopped and looked at the familiar figure in front of him, the Furious Knight Kled.
He stepped on the depressed Skaar and walked to Huo Jixing. An unconcealable smile surged out of his only intact eye.
“Boy, you did a good job!” Klie reached out and patted Huo Jixing on the shoulder.
"As long as you have strong power, no one in the Noxus Empire will dare to bully you."
"Even the nobles are the same."
It seems to be recalling the past. In the memory fragment, Kled's plush face showed a ferocious murderous intent.
“If you don’t like them, just find an excuse to kill them.”
“But you kid, cut a baron into pieces directly in front of everyone. Tsk tsk!”
Klie's face was close to Huo Jixing's and he asked curiously: "How does it taste? Is it extremely exciting and makes your blood flow faster?"
"Uh!" Huo Jixing choked on his words.
He originally thought Kled was blaming himself, but now it seems he was seeking experience.
"Okay, no kidding."
Kled put away his smile, threw something to Huo Jixing, and then left the arena with Skaar on his feet.
Skaarl could no longer stand the environment of the Noxian capital. He wanted grasslands and wild lands.
“Boy, remember, this time I will slap the nobleman in the face hard.”
Hearing the sound of Kled leaving, before Huo Jixing could react, he When I see something being thrown towards me, I quickly catch it with quick eyes and hands.
"This is."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the irregularly shaped red crystal in his hand. Like a substantial spirit, he instantly sensed the surging runic energy.
【Red Crystal】!
Capital of Noxus.
Even though the performance of Ring of Fire is over, there are still thousands of people on the wide street, and the biting cold wind cannot suppress the excitement on their faces.
However, compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the aristocratic area seemed unusually quiet.
Except for the patrolling capital guards, there were very few people around.
call!
In a majestic castle facing the street, the dim light flickered, reflecting a gloomy secret room.
"Huo Jixing's strength is somewhat beyond expectations."
In the center of the secret room, to the left of the main seat of the long table, Gu Lansi sat on a wooden chair and looked at both sides of the long table The tone of everyone sitting there was cold.
Wrong intelligence information led to the failure of the Knox Scalia Arena.
Most of the nobles present watched the performance of Ring of Fire, and no one responded to Gulans' words.
This is not one person’s fault.
Someone had secretly investigated Huo Jixing's strength at the border of Northland earlier, combined with the battle in Baron Calvin's mansion.
We have a professional team to conduct evaluation and measurement.
But they didn’t expect that due to wrong information and continuous failures, they became the background of the gladiatorial performance!
And this seemingly joke-like battle.
In addition to determining Huo Jixing's life and death, it is also a game between the old aristocratic forces and the Trifali Council.
In their view, Huo Jixing is just a pawn played by the Trifali Council.
Now, this chess piece is a bit harder and more difficult than expected.
"Did Swain intervene?" Gulans looked cold, thought for a while, and looked at the shadow in the corner.
"There is no news for the time being. It's just Darius and the others who have ended up now."
Hearing this, the pale figure on the main seat said: "Well, there is news that Kled took out a rune item "Leave it to Huo Jixing."
"The specific rune item is still under investigation."
"There is news from my side." A low voice came from the shadow corner.
"Just news from Piltover."
During the reign of Brown Darkwill, the iron hooves of the Noxus Empire were conquering everywhere and provoking countless wars.
In the southeastern region of the empire, Piltover, known as the 'City of Progress', was somewhat uneasy in the face of the iron heel of Noxus' conquest.
Many trading chambers and families spread the concept of peace to the Noxian nobles.
"They are very sincere and have brought a lot of interesting things."
"Do we need to use them for the performance of Ring of Fire?" The deep voice continued.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
On the long silent table, many people agreed.
Gulans looked at the pale figure on the main seat and waited quietly.
“Don’t make a decision in a hurry, let’s see their sincerity first, and continue to investigate Huo Jixing’s strength.”
The pale figure spoke softly, finally setting the tone for this secret meeting.
