The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 121 The astute lynx and the resolute wild boar
Listening to the roaring voices in the arena, Huo Jixing's expression relaxed as he stepped into the dark passage.

The feeling of just pretending and running is really good.

He looked at the stunned young Noxian soldier and sword boy Heini in front of him, waved gently to draw their attention, and returned to the room together.

Compared with 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 Delevingne.

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 he remembered from his previous life to teach these barbaric Noxians a real artistic 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 was a matter of life and death, and he had to be well prepared.

On the second day, the Ring of Fire performance 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.

This kind of rule-breaking yet extremely 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!
In the spacious and quiet room of the Knox Scalia Arena.

"The opponent in the final finale can't afford to be sick?"

Huo Jixing finished swallowing the food in his mouth, raised his eyebrows 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.

From this point of view, it was the exaggerated gladiatorial performance last night that made the nobles 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.

Then he began to close his eyes and rest, waiting for the performance that was about to begin.

dong dong!dong dong!
As night falls, a young Noxian soldier knocks 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. Then he opened the letter and read it carefully.

"Savage Reckoner, Extraordinary One?"

The information in the letter is about the target of this gladiatorial battle, the Savage Reckoner from Freljord.

In the harsh land of the Freljord, there is a group of people who are born with a deep connection to spiritual magic.

These battle shamans are called "spirit walkers"!
In order to avoid the terrifying cold wave and the increasingly fierce war in Freljord, many beast spirit walkers led their tribes and left their hometown.

Or 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 he had fought against before.

"It's just a performance, are the extraordinary ones already dispatched?"

"Then I'll shock you a little more."

Huo Jixing whispered softly, rubbed his fingers, and the flames ignited, burning the letter paper in his hand into ashes and scattering them to the ground.

"Hello, fellow gladiator fans!"

“Now, let us welcome yesterday’s best liquidator—”

"Suzaku!"

The voice of the arena announcer arouses 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 gazes 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 passed over 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, folded his hands in front of his chest, and stepped forward.

Tap!Tap!Tap!

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 rugged 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 was a little different from the beast spirit walkers I had seen before, and the cloud energy was also richer.Huo Jixing thought secretly.

pat!

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 transcendent who was good at using knives.

At the same time, he also heard about the exaggerated performance last night.

For the tribe to survive, 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 meowing sounded in the boiling arena.

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed, filled with crimson light.

He saw a lynx phantom appearing behind the Savage Liquidator, grinning at him and 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 seemed to be telling:

You are so confident that you are putting 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.

With the phantom of the lynx flashing, it appeared behind Huo Jixing again, waving its sharp claws.

Click!

Another long sheathed knife blocked the sharp claws.

The barbarian liquidator looked shocked, looked 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 knife can always block his attack.

The barbarian 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.

From a distance, it looked like there were countless angry blue lynxes, grinning and clawing at the enemy.

The howling wind caused even suppressed the scorching flames all around.

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 one after another.

"If you only have this little power, it can be over."

Perhaps sensing Huo Jixing's thoughts, the Savage Liquidators stopped their attack and landed not far away.

He twisted his body, stretched his arms, and planted his feet on the sand.

There was a soft bone ringing sound in the body.

【Fortitude Wild Boar】!
Thick earthy yellow light filled the body.

The barbaric 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 liquidator stamped his feet angrily, and the yellow sandy 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 barbarian 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 uh uh uh."

The Savage Liquidator opened his mouth and let out a small gasp, and his broken arms were like slender green willows, rippling in the wind.

He looked at Huo Jixing, the pleading look in his eyes had not disappeared.

Pfft!
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 Reckoner, 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 slashed 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 away by the autumn wind.

This time, the simple and efficient battle between extraordinary people was no less impressive.

Of course, for viewers, it’s more about the excitement of betting and winning money.

In the dark passage of the arena.

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's shoulder.

"As long as you have strong power, no one in the Noxus Empire will dare to bully you."

"Even if you are a noble, it is the same."

As if recalling fragments of past memories, a ferocious murderous intent appeared on Kled's plush face.

"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.

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 noble in the face hard."

Hearing the sound of Klie leaving, Huo Jixing saw something being thrown towards him before he could react, and he quickly caught 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 spirit of substance, he instantly sensed the surging runic energy.

【Red Crystal】!
The capital of Noxus.

Even though the Ring of Fire performance was over, there were still a lot of people on the wide street, and the biting cold wind couldn't 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, on the left side of the long table, Gulans was sitting on a wooden chair, looking at the people sitting on both sides of the long table, his tone 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 was 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 moment. It's just Darius and the others who are gone now."

Hearing this, the pale figure on the main seat said, "Well, there is news. Kled took out a rune item and gave it to Huo Jixing."

"The specific rune items are still under investigation."

"I also have news here." 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 brought a lot of interesting things."

"Do we need to use them for the performance of Ring of Fire?" The low voice continued.

"can!"

"can!"

Many people on the long silent table spoke in agreement.

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.
