Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 438 Cold Steel Blood (1)

"Kill him!" "Kill him!!!" "Odds 1.5:2.7." "Fuck it!" "Break that bastard's neck!!"

The shouts of the fanatics converged into crazy waves, and thousands of roaring and shouting faces crowded around the octagonal ring, and their thin or thick arms waved along with the shouts.Smoke, alcohol, sweat, blood, and the psychedelic smell of illegal drugs all melted into the dull underground air and swayed wantonly with the waves of people's voices.A little farther away, the high-end auditorium reminiscent of the ancient amphitheater is stacked up like the floors of a building. People in luxurious and well-dressed are watching through binoculars, and their eyes are more intense than those at the bottom. fanaticism.

"The countdown is 10 seconds." The referee counted the seconds indifferently, "10..."

Before the countdown was over, the man was hit on the right cheek by a pendulum punch, and the muffled sound was like the sound of a drum hitting people's hearts.Broken teeth flew up with blood, and the body of the loser flew over the edge of the fiery ring and smashed towards the fanatical audience.The skin on his face swayed exaggeratedly to one side as if being hit by a strong wind, and there was consternation and fury in his bloodshot eyes.

The crowd quickly dispersed.No one caught him, and the man fell unconscious like a bag of trash. "Okay!!" "Fucking trash." "Okay!!" No one cared about the loser, shouts of surprise and regret flooded towards the winner standing on the ring.The spotlights all over the audience hit the center of the octagonal ring, and the winner walked off the stage in glory amidst cheers.

Zhaluer Gait was wearing a hood and mingling in the audience at the bottom. The alcoholic on the side roughly swung the bottle and nearly hit him on the head, but Zharuer remained motionless.This is the sixth round of the knockout round. Each of them is a strong player who has won five games in a row. Everyone's appearance on an ordinary night is enough to make the audience carnival, but at this moment they are being used as consumables with disdain.

Zaluer raised his gaze to the top of the casino.He couldn't see anything, but he knew that somewhere on the top floor, there was a masked man in black sitting on a cold steel iron seat, looking down at the battle in the dust like a king who ruled the mountains and rivers.That was Zaluer's goal, he wanted to defeat that man and win the throne; that was the goal of everyone in the casino, countless wealthy and nobles sent cronies to wait day and night at the bottom of the filth, just to learn that he made a move. war intelligence.

At this moment, the auditorium on the upper level has been filled with crowds, because the champion is now in the casino.

"The next game starts in 10 minutes!"

While thinking about it, the referee stood on the ring and shouted, and the holographic projections all over the casino projected the contestants' information.Zahrul stopped reviewing the details of previous matches and began to meditate on his aura.

Hot dressed girls jumped from the second floor and danced around the ring, further stirring up the emotions of the men.The commentator with an exaggerated hairstyle held a microphone and deliberately jumped like a clown: "The old-school strongman Zarul played against the rookie from the Empire! The odds of winning are 1.2, a well-matched matchup... Received a big matchup from the 7th floor Bet! 300 million Kerry bet on Zalul! This is a big win, and the guests on the 8th floor will also place bets..."

"Take my ticket!" "I bet on that newcomer." "Hurry up and get the ticket, the waste is about to start!" The red-eyed gamblers at the bottom seized the last chance to place a bet, beating the betting robot with their white tickets .Regardless of the sweaty bottom people or the well-dressed upper-class VIPs, everyone is doing the same thing at this moment, squandering their hard-earned wealth in a few seconds, so as to win multiple rewards and moments that only exist in delusion joy in between.

Zaruel doesn't despise them, he knows that everyone here is after something unreal.Spectators gamble their fortunes, and fighters gamble their bodies, skills, dignity, and their own lives.

"This is the last match of the night. Unlimited ring!" With one minute to go, the referee came on stage. "The battle starts after the referee announces, and you guys tell me the rules of the unlimited ring." He raised the microphone vigorously, pointing at the audience surrounding the ring. "Weapons, prosthetics, armor, any equipment?"

"Yes!" The gamblers cheered.

"Battle pets, puppets, robots, any helpers?" The referee raised his voice.

"Yes!!" The gamblers waved their arms.

"Psychic armed! Super powers! Impermanence! Any supernatural power?" the referee roared.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!!"

The shouting sound was like an invisible tsunami, and the condensed impact crashed against Zaruel's skin. "The only rule is?" The referee raised his hands high, and the fanatical roar of faith drowned the ring.

"The winner is king!!!"

The winner is king.The creed of the gamblers, the faith of the fighters.At the end of the countdown, the door of the lounge opened, and the automatic machinery paved a bloody passage leading directly to the ring.The rookie was the first to stand on the ring, a young woman from the empire, with waist-length hair, and she was from a famous family like most of the empire's fighters.No one came out of the lounge on the other side. Zaluer took off his hood, jumped up amidst the cheers of the people around him, and stood on the octagonal ring.

Zaluer stood face to face with the rookie, the opponent clasped his right leg inward, left leg slightly forward, and raised his hands in a basic Chinese pose.Zaruel clenched his fists and concentrated his strength on his legs.The new people always stand silently, the old people often say a few words first in the "start", and it will never be a disadvantage to fight psychological warfare first.Such people don't take provocations, they have to attack their weaknesses first.

"Girl, give me a chance." Zaluer lied in a low voice, "That man insulted my sister, who was the same age as you at that time. I want revenge on him."

The rookie's lips moved slightly, and Zahrur focused. "Start!" The referee raised his hand.Zaluer's robust body suddenly fell down, like a cheetah about to jump out.A khaki-colored field appeared from his side, and the octagonal arena fluttered violently like a wooden boat in a tsunami!

"Odd Appearance, the sacred mountain that shakes the earth."

The yellow sand in the arena turned into mountains and rose up to the very top of the underground casino.The vibration that made the earth groan emerged from Zaruel's side, and the turbulent shock turned the ground, a safe foothold, into a dangerous situation where there was no life left.The aroused yellow sand obscured the opponent's vision, and under the control of the domain, countless sand and dust condensed into tiny needles for strafing attacks.A sand needle grazed the steel cables on the edge of the ring, and the hard protection made of cold steel was instantly shattered into powder.Each sand needle contains the power of "shock", and each blow is enough to cut off the opponent's vitality at the moment of contact.

The manifestation method of manipulating the earth highlights the power to the fullest at this moment. When Zaluer jumped out, he activated the "Modern Fortress" prosthetic body that was urgently installed last night, and his fist was covered with hard armor as dark as the night.The man made up his mind to fight quickly, and he leapt forward at the very moment of the duel, swinging a blow that shook the ground!
"—!"

The fist wind howled through the yellow sand, and the inevitable punch only passed through the air.Snapped.As if lightly tapped with a fingertip, the side of Zaruel's neck was touched like a superficial touch.

The call to the body fell silent, and the energy in the body was completely lost, just like the blood and life lost from the wound bitten by a poisonous snake.Zaluer held on for a moment with willpower, then knelt powerlessly in the yellow sand.

This moment made him see the truth, the rookie didn't move a single step, his boxing miss was because the opponent's attack was one step faster, as fast as lightning and as poisonous as a snake.

"The emperor's capital is the Qin family, Qin Qianbai."

It turned out that when she spoke before, she wanted to report her family name as usual.

The holographic projection repeatedly played back the movements slowed down to the limit, allowing everyone to see the confrontation at that moment. After a short silence, the gamblers danced and shouted.The chagrin and curses of the losers are overshadowed by the madness of more people. "I bet you three thousand! Good job!!" "Win, win!!" The ecstatic gamblers discussed the odds and chances of winning. Qin Qianbai didn't care about these trivial matters, and turned around and walked off the ring after winning.The host shouted excitedly behind her. "Rookie Qin Qianbai won a wonderful seven-game winning streak! If she wins two more games, she will be honored to challenge for the championship!!"

On the uppermost floor of the casino, in the extravagant area blocked by one-way transparent materials, the champion was looking at the arena with great interest, and his eyes intersected with the girl at the bottom by chance.

"Did you see my old friend?" The champion raised his glass happily, "It's time for the casino's equipment to be updated, otherwise the idiots won't be able to see the details of the fight."

"Hmm..." The old friend picked through the refrigerator and found a box of caviar, "She can make it faster."

"It's exciting." The champion shrugged his shoulders, "Whether it's your niece or that man, there are more and more guys who are worth drawing their swords. I'm very happy to think that there are still a few good shows to watch, Ha ha ha ha!"

The laugh of a champion sounds indistinguishable from that of a gambler.Everyone here is the same, a gambler who spends a lot of money on atmosphere and fun.This is the Cold Steel Arena, the blissful paradise for madmen, the battlefield where blood is shed in the extreme cold.

If we want to talk about the reason why a certain eldest lady appeared here, I have to go back to the afternoon when Miss Qiluo played a prank three days ago...

·
Three days ago, Venus.

"Principal, can you say it again?" Gongsun Ce was dumbfounded.

Onoville on the screen frowned and repeated to him again: "Gaius Utimes sent a contact through the family channel and sent us a request for peace talks."

The crew of the Venus Star were all concentrated on the bridge, and most of the expressions on everyone's faces at the moment were very similar to those of Gongsun Ce.Shi Yuling was the first to ask, "Does he really think everyone is a fool?"

"No, Miss Shigure. Based on what I know about Gaius, that man is serious."

Gongsun Ce was deeply absurd: "Is he so naive?"

Onowell shook his head: "Gaius is a rational man who is almost mechanical. He asked for peace not because of cowardice, but because this matter is 'no harm' to him. Even if the peace talks fail, it is just a return to the original tense situation." status, he has no reason not to try."

"It makes sense, so why do we have to engage in peace talks with him at the risk of stepping into a trap and being besieged?" Gongsun Ce said, "Wait until Gaius throws the cup and kills five hundred on both sides of the number. Then there's no need to talk about it."

"First of all, Dragon Machine is not a big commodity for energy production. Secondly, I am not familiar with "Three Kingdoms". Please use an analogy that everyone can understand." Onowell still put a letter on the table, "Finally , The champion guarantees the safety of this peace talk with his own reputation. I have never met him personally, so it is up to you to judge whether you believe it or not."

There are eclectic and elegant handwriting on the silver letter paper, which is the handwriting of the champion Valens.After the principal conveyed the information, he kept quiet and waited for the judgment of the commissioners.

"Miss, what do you think?"

Gongsun Ce had never met the champion and only heard the girls describe his strength. He knew that a warrior knew another warrior best, so he took the lead to ask Qin Qianbai for his opinion.Qin Qianbai looked at the letter carefully and nodded.

"The champion is a worldly and arrogant man. He is greedy for enjoyment, pays attention to utilitarianism, and has his eyes above the top. Such a person always cares about his own reputation, and it is more unbearable for them to lose his reputation than to be knocked down. If Gaius If Si dares to use his banner to do a sneak attack and frame him, then the enraged champion will completely destroy his plan and fight until he dies." Qin Qianbai said, "This letter is written by the champion himself, and his handwriting carries his sword intent. "

"Ah?" Qi Luo said blankly, "I didn't see it, what is the sword intent?"

Qin Qianbai patted Qi Luo on the head: "Look, even Qi Luo can't tell. This is something that others can't imitate, just like I can't describe Qin Min's spirit."

"I trust your judgment." Gongsun Ce nodded, "Qi Luo, please adjust the route, let's go to the State of Cold Steel."

"Mr. Gongsun, have you thought about it?" Onowell reminded, "Having no risk does not mean having benefits. Gaius is closely related to the Dust Cult, and we all know that the possibility of reconciliation is close to zero."

"Even if there is no possibility of reconciliation, this peace talk is worth going. This is a good opportunity to contact Gaius and obtain information." Elandia answered for the entourage.She then added: "I would recommend that you have brief discussions with high-level countries."

"Of course, I will give our bottom line as soon as possible after the discussion... Although I don't think we will use any of them." Onowell nodded, "I wish you a safe journey."

The old principal ended the communication, and all the crew members immediately returned to their usual lazy state from sitting upright.Shi Yu Ling said lazily: "I said you can think about it. This matter is beneficial to Gaius, but it does not mean it is the same for us. What if he is talking about running trains and tricking people to set us up with fake news? ?”

Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses: "Good question, do you think Elandia and I can see through his lies?"

"Ah... the more you say in front of the two of you, the more mistakes you will make." Shi Yuling was stunned.

"I hope Gaius is a liar full of lies. This shows that he is as mentally handicapped as his son. An idiot is always nothing to worry about as an opponent."

Gongsun Ce stepped out of the deck, put on the railing, and looked down at the scenery below the boat.Qin Qianbai asked curiously: "Then what if what Gaius said is the truth?"

"That shows that he is indeed a rational person, and he is too cautious to take any risk of being found out." Gongsun Ce said, "At that time, things will be troublesome. We can all see that Gaius has a big plan in the United States. A person who is extremely cautious but does such a big thing either has big ideals and goals that he thinks, or is driven to a corner and went crazy."

He thought of Tokigure Watami from Zero Island, and sighed, "Both are equally bad."

Unbeknownst to them, many people have traveled to the Cold Steel State in recent days for another reason.These people don't pay attention to politics or peace talks. What attracts them is another piece of news from the Cold Steel State:

The champion Valens is in a good mood recently, and the no-restricted group arena will be held this week.The strong player who won nine games in a row will be honored to challenge for the championship.
