The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 120 The Ring of Fire and the Fight of Life and Death
In the silent room.

Huo Jixing leaned on the wooden chair and read the parchment in his hand with a casual expression.

"Aren't you nervous?" Heini, the sword boy, looked at the leisurely and contented Huo Jixing and couldn't help but asked.

"Relax your mind."

Huo Jixing looked away and looked at Heini who was oiling the red fire blade.

"It's just a show. What we have to do is simple, make this show more bloody and exciting!"

As an excellent sword boy, Heini has his own way to avoid the erosion of runes and magical energy.

This is also the skill taught to sword boys by the Noxus Empire.

"But I'm still worried."

Heini wanted to say something, but didn't know how to persuade him. In the end, he chose to deal with the red fire blade in his hand.

He needs to provide Huo Jixing with sharp sword blades and strong armor at all times.

Looking at Heini who was carefully handling the Red Fire Blade, Huo Jixing shook his head slightly.

He was a little surprised to see Haynie in the Knox Scalia Arena, thinking it was Wilson's idea.

But Haynie's arrival can indeed help him.

Huo Jixing lowered his head and looked at the parchment in his hand, which was filled with dense information.

Then he put his hands together casually.

The parchment was provided by Draven and contained intelligence information about the Ring of Fire's performance.

After all, Draven is the owner of the Knox Scalia Arena, and he must have first-hand information about the Liquidator.

He also read all the information in detail.

As for authenticity, you need to identify it yourself.

And this is only fixed intelligence information about the liquidator. It does not rule out that the nobles will have substitutes or do some tricks.

Huo Jixing rested his head on his left hand, looked out the window at the bright sunshine, and took out a green gem necklace from his neck.

It was a morning gift from Darius.

The Hand of Noxus seems to be fair and just, but it also has the hidden attribute of being a protector.

Facing the sunshine, Huo Jixing looked at the familiar green gem necklace in his hand, which looked very much like the first rune item he got.

The green gemstone necklace in front of me has no trace of damage. The green gemstone in the middle is pure and flawless, with a clear luster.

【Healing Orb】!
Huo Jixing recognized the name of this green gem necklace and also experienced the rune properties it had.

The self-healing ability is very good and can be stacked with Nanli Fire.

He thought about the seven-day Ring of Fire performance and savored the significance of Darius' offering of the green gem necklace.

"call!"

Huo Jixing let out a breath, and when he saw that it was almost time, he was ready to leave.

The waiting sword boy Heini stepped forward and dressed Huo Jixing in dark gray solid armor, carefully handling every joint.

"It seems like a lot has changed!"

Huo Jixing stared at himself in the mirror. He seemed to be no longer the same as before, a little cold and solemn.

Such is the way of the world.

He himself never expected that the bottom layer of the Noxus Empire was already rotten, leading him to be involved in the pension incident.

Huo Jixing rubbed his face, put away his distracting thoughts, and calmed down.

Relaxing before a fight is good for your body and mind.

After leaving the prison, Huo Jixing took Heini to the high platform of the arena.

His show is the finale of the night, and other liquidators can be seen performing during the day.

"It's a little early."

Delevingne leaned on the high stone base and looked around Huo Jixing.

"You seem confident."

"Haha, not bad." Huo Jixing laughed softly.

He understands that he enjoys privileges because of his own strength, not anything else.

Based on the importance of this Ring of Fire performance, he has done everything he can to improve his combat capabilities.

While Huo Jixing was talking to Draven, he looked at the intricately arranged arena.

Noxian soldiers have been stationed at every key location among the auditoriums throughout the arena to prevent unrest.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
While he was waiting, a roaring sound suddenly came from the sky.

Huo Jixing heard the news and went out. On the streets outside the Knox Scalia Arena, an endless stream of people, tens of thousands of Noxians, surged forward along the avenues.

More than ten different languages ​​rang out, including primitive prayers, slogans, and war songs. Many sounds were mixed and superimposed.

More Noxians followed them, creeping in and out.

Huo Jixing was stunned when he saw this spectacular scene and this pure display of power.

"This is the stage I want!"

Draven stood up, stood side by side, and looked down at the crowd.

After several days of publicity, the upcoming Ring of Fire gladiatorial performance in the Knox Scalia Arena spread throughout the capital of Noxus and nearby cities.

The number of people pouring into the arena in front of him alone was already over [-].

As time passed, more and more Noxians appeared in the arena.

The back two areas of the auditorium were almost full, and the two middle areas were also full of people, whispering to each other.

The seats of honor with the best security measures were also packed.

Thanks to the pension incident, most nobles in the Noxus capital will send representatives here, or come in person.

Wait until noon.

The audience's emotions and fiery atmosphere gradually rose, surrounding the arena.

"Hello, fellow gladiatorial competition fans, are you ready for the arrival of the Ring of Fire?" the arena announcer's voice sounded.

Without waiting for the audience to react.

Seeing the emotion and atmosphere reaching its peak, the arena announcer loudly announced the start of the Ring of Fire performance.

“Let’s welcome the Ring of Fire show!”

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
Below the auditorium, at the top of the wall of the Yellow Sand Arena, wooden wine barrels rolled down from the space between the two and fell to the yellow sand ground, spilling the turbid and pungent liquid.

Immediately afterwards, the Noxian soldiers dropped pieces of flint.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The blazing orange-red flames shot up in an instant, burning fiercely, roasting and distorting the air, reflecting crazy faces.

"Wow oh oh oh!"

Stimulated by the flames rising into the sky, the noise in the auditorium grew louder, rising and falling like a surging wave.

Crunch!Crunch!
On the north and south sides, there are giant steel doors opening.

Two shirtless and muscular men with sharp blades entered the Huangsha Arena.

"Is it Roll?"

Huo Jixing looked at the familiar people in the arena, feeling surprised in his heart.

The members of the Gray Wolf Gang who had once been seen at the bottom of the slums, wandered around and met them in the arena.

"Now, the first performance officially begins."

Clang!

As soon as the arena announcer finished speaking, the two confronting liquidators started fighting forcefully without any verbal provocation.

The blades in his hands clashed, making a dull sound.

From a distance, the two of them looked like hungry beasts breaking free from their cages, fighting to the death, with their knives falling towards vital locations.

puff!puff!puff!
However, for a moment, the two of them saw a series of dark red scars appearing on their naked bodies without any means of protection.

The gorgeous performance skills, angry roars, and red blood spray completely ignited every audience.

They used their shouts to release the pent-up emotions deep in their hearts.

"It's still a little too deliberate, but it's exaggerated enough!"

Huo Jixing looked at the 'wonderful' battle in the arena and saw that it was a bloody show.

The seemingly horrific injuries were just broken skin and bleeding.

With medical staff on the sidelines, there is no threat to life at all. "Huh?" Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly.

He saw in the arena, when Rohr's opponent finally won, as if he had received an order in advance, the blade that fell to the shoulder suddenly slashed towards the neck.

puff!

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the aorta, and the gushing blood dyed the liquidator's body red.

He looked at Rohr who was helplessly falling to the ground, his eyes flickered, and he pressed hard on the blade embedded in his neck, killing Rohr.

See death being born.

The atmosphere in the Knox Scalia Arena reached a climax, and countless noises filled the sky.

Huo Jixing laughed softly, glanced at Draven without trace, and continued watching.

Medical staff and cleaning staff waiting on the sidelines quickly dragged away the bodies and cleaned the ground.

The second show continues.

It is still a battle for ordinary people.

Huo Jixing looked over and saw that his skill level was passable and his performance was not bad.

Although no deaths occurred, it still aroused cheers from the audience.

The third performance changed from a single combat to a team duel.

Two teams, ten people in total, staged a military battle in the center of the Huangsha Arena.

Also shirtless, but wearing a helmet, and fighting with a sword and shield.

Under the shouts of the audience, they fought hard and put on a bloody show.

The sun sets over the western mountains, and the dusk glow fills the sky.

Halftime at the Knox Scalia Arena.

Huo Jixing left the high platform and returned to the separate preparation area.

His appearance is the finale, and all previous performances are foreshadowing.

In order to present the most perfect performance effect, he quickly meditated and entered the state of "insight into the body".

With the audience's voice rising, the gladiatorial performance continued.

Crunch!

The door opened, and the young Noxian soldier walked in and looked at Huo Jixing in awe.

"Your performance begins immediately!"

Huo Jixing opened his eyes and looked very relaxed.

He looked at the young Noxian soldier and followed the guidance as he walked along the dark passage.

After a while.

Huo Jixing heard deafening cheers and the closing voice of the arena announcer.

It now seems that the Ring of Fire performance proposed by Draven was very successful.

Of course, it was also because of the many chaos during the reign of Brown Darkwill, which brought serious trauma to the Noxus Empire and plunged every Noxian into a dark life.

The current Ring of Fire performance is a performance that completely releases inner emotions.

"Dear gladiatorial competition fans, now is the last performance of the day. Let's take a look at the two sides." The arena announcer's mood became increasingly high.

"Wow, it's Suzaku versus the Minotaur Reckoner from the Grand Barrier."

Perhaps the name Huo Jixing provided was too difficult to pronounce.

The arena announcer's speech paused slightly, but it did not affect the fanatical atmosphere in the audience at all.

Crunch!Crunch!
The dark gray iron door moved upwards, and the scorching heat rushed towards my face.

Huo Jixing had just walked out of the dark passage when the loud shouts that immediately rang out shook his ears and disturbed his heart.

He raised his head and looked at the audience in the arena, his heart still filled with ripples.

Whether it's the war in Freljord or watching from a high platform.

It's far less than the immersive feeling I feel now.

No action is required.

He could feel the blood boiling in his body and the restless emotions hitting his nerves.

"It's such a wonderful feeling, no wonder Draven is so addicted!"

Huo Jixing took a deep breath, suppressed his inner emotions, held the knife in his left hand, and stepped into the Huangsha Arena.

The yellow sand covering the ground was a little hot under the burning flames all around.

Huo Jixing looked into the open iron door opposite him and heard the sound of heavy footsteps.

Tauren Reckoner!
The Tauren tribe active in the Great Barrier became a subsidiary force under the iron heel of Noxus' conquest.

They are natural warriors and shield defenders.

At the same time, it is very popular with the boss of the arena, and is often used as a trading target, sold to the arena, and becomes a liquidator.

As soon as I saw the tauren liquidator walking out of the iron gate, the shouts from the audience filled the air and dispersed the dark clouds in the sky.

These tauren liquidators wear special heavy armor, with sharp barbs shining coldly on the joints of their hands and feet.

The body is like a hill, and every step it takes will bring a loud cry.

It was far more lively than Huo Jixing's appearance.

Of course, such calls will only appear in a few areas where ordinary people are.

In areas where citizens with relatively high status, such as seats of honor and knights, were sitting on the sidelines.

In their eyes, the Tauren Liquidators can only be regarded as elite heavy infantry.
However, when they saw ten tauren liquidators coming out one after another, their expressions began to change, and the ordinary audience did not hesitate to shout.

"Are you trying to use the tactics in Baron Calvin's mansion?"

In the Huangsha Arena, Huo Jixing stared at the ten tauren liquidators wearing heavy armor and holding black steel siege stakes in his arms, and his thoughts arose.

In the recent battle, the six war weapons did restrain their performance somewhat due to their strength.

But that's the past.

Now this method no longer works in front of him!
Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
Heavy footsteps trampled on the yellow sand ground, shaking up the yellow sand and dust, turning into a sand storm.

The ten tauren liquidators had just set foot on the Yellow Sand Arena. They were like heavy-duty trucks running at full speed, running over the sand, pointing directly at Huo Jixing, and running wildly.

Their horns drooped, and their muscular arms hugged the steel siege stakes in their hands, bursting out with all their strength.

It could be seen that the air in front of them was being squeezed, and circles of semicircular khaki light masks quickly solidified.

"Look well, study hard!"

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered and he made the most exaggerated movements in full view of everyone.

Ignoring the approaching tauren liquidator, he turned around slowly and saluted the surrounding audience, enjoying their harsh and fanatical exclamations.

Yes, saluting!

In the eyes of ordinary people in the audience, what Huo Jixing is doing now is to give up the performance completely and step into the arms of death.

next moment!
After Huo Jixing saluted, he drew out the red fire blade from his waist and stepped forward.

[Suzaku·Nanli Fire]!
[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Staring at the tauren liquidator approaching in front of him with red eyes, Huo Jixing held the long knife tightly in both hands and waved it from bottom to top.

In an instant!

The long sword danced and flames overflowed.

Even the flames burning around the arena danced and rose into the sky.

Bathed in violent flames.

Huo Jixing's eyes tightened, and his gaze fell on the flaw of the Minotaur Liquidator.

Then, like red lightning, he waved the blade covered with Nanli fire, cutting through the steel siege stakes and cutting through the special heavy armor.

Clang!

The red fire returns to its sheath.

Huo Jixing stepped towards the dark passage from which he came.

Under the doubtful gazes of the audience, the tauren liquidator, which should have been running non-stop, looked like a collapsed mountain.

The armor is broken and the body is separated.

Mixed with broken steel fragments, they filled the yellow sand arena.

The auditorium was completely boiling, and the roar resounded like the sky, like detonating the Knox Scalia Arena, shaking the solid walls.

They witnessed the most exciting performance tonight!

The performer is also a flame psychic!
