The eighth contestant, the soul guide representing the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, stepped calmly onto the competition stage.
In his hand he held a long-handled sword with a broad and heavy blade that flashed with a cold light. The handle was thick and sturdy, wrapped in dark red leather, and its length was surprisingly similar to the rapid-fire cannon of the big man in yellow.
He held the knife in one hand, with the tip of the knife pointing diagonally at the ground. His posture was upright, like a towering mountain, standing there quietly, deep and majestic, with the demeanor of a master naturally revealed.
Ye Yulin's eyes swept across the yellow-clothed man and the representative of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and he said in a deep voice: "Both sides have announced their names and are ready to fight." His voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.
“I want to emphasize again that this match is a life-or-death match until one side admits defeat or loses the ability to fight.
If you feel that you cannot defeat your opponent, admit defeat as soon as possible to avoid irreversible consequences. "
The big man in yellow clothes gave his name in a muffled voice: "Yellow Clothes!" The voice was brief and powerful, revealing a domineering aura that should not be underestimated.
The representative of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce bowed gracefully and said loudly: "Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Shouze." His voice was clear and loud, with a hint of a confident smile.
Ye Yulin nodded, his body suddenly rose into the air, and at the same time announced the start of the game: "Start!" His voice resounded throughout the entire competition venue, and also kicked off this life-and-death battle.
This is not a limited competition like the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, but a true life-and-death battle.
This is the cruel rule of the underworld. There are not so many complicated rules and protection measures. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
Zhao Shouze tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and his body shot out like an arrow, rushing towards the direction of the big man in yellow.
At the same time, six soul rings rose from under his feet, three yellow and three purple, and he was actually a six-ring Soul Emperor.
He swung the long-handled sword in his hand, and a layer of dazzling golden-red flame instantly ignited on the blade. The light was so huge that it seemed to swallow up the entire arena.
Unexpectedly, the big man in yellow did not raise the rapid-fire cannon to attack as everyone expected.
Instead of firing the heavy artillery in his hand, he slowly put it down, as if this heavy weapon was a burden to him and made it difficult for him to bear.
However, just when everyone was puzzled, six soul rings rose from the body of the big man in yellow.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black. The best soul ring ratio!
Seeing these six shining soul rings, the audience was suddenly in an uproar.
The best spirit ring ratio is extremely rare even among spirit masters, let alone on a spirit instructor.
The Xishui League was naturally filled with surprise and joy, but the faces of their rivals, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Pingfan League, became extremely ugly.
Zhao Shouze's gaze involuntarily fell on the rotating soul ring on the big man in yellow.
The two dazzling yellow spirit rings, like two shining suns, emitted a light that made people dare not look directly at it. His breathing stagnated, and an indescribable pressure rose in his heart. In comparison, his own dull white spirit ring seemed so shabby and so vulnerable.
A sense of defeat spread quietly, and Zhao Shouze's high morale quickly cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him. He felt his legs weaken slightly, and his hand holding the knife was shaking a little.
The strength of his opponent far exceeded his expectations.
However, his fighting instinct quickly helped him get rid of this brief moment of distraction. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. Even if the opponent was strong, he could not retreat and had to go all out!
Zhao Shouze took a deep breath and suppressed the fear and anxiety in his heart.
He exerted force with his legs and rushed towards the big man in yellow like an arrow. He was so fast that he crossed half of the competition arena in the blink of an eye.
He raised the big knife in his hand high, and with a sharp wind, he chopped it down fiercely at the big man in yellow.
The golden-red blade light, like a lightning that cuts through the sky, carries a scorching breath. It instantly crosses a distance of more than forty meters and chops down on the head of the big man in yellow.
This shocking blow contained all of Zhao Shouze's strength and fighting spirit.
Wherever the blade passed, the air seemed to be burned up, emitting bursts of crackling sounds. The entire competition stage was shaking, as if it would be split in half at any time by this terrifying blade.
The blazing blade light enveloped the man in yellow.
However, facing this unstoppable attack, the big man in yellow appeared unusually calm.
His eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at the incoming blade, his steps were light and erratic like a ghost.
Just as the blade was about to fall, the big man in yellow suddenly turned sideways and barely avoided the fatal blow.
He also pulled the rapid-fire cannon in his hand forward to block the flying sparks.
With a loud "puff", the flaming knife slashed heavily on the ground, leaving a long groove.
The metal ground on both sides of the gully was instantly melted by the high temperature, turning red and emitting thick smoke.
The audience was so stunned by this thrilling scene that they forgot to cheer for a moment. They originally thought that the big man in yellow would be cut in half by the knife, but they didn't expect him to dodge it so easily.
However, what shocked them even more was that the big man in yellow did not choose to continue the long-range attack, but instead picked up his heavy rapid-fire cannon and strode towards Zhao Shouze.
This sudden move left everyone feeling incredible.
A long-range attack soul master actually gave up his own advantage and chose to fight with a melee soul master? What kind of tactic is this?
Han Yu, who was watching everything that happened on the stage, smiled faintly. He knew that the man in yellow was not acting rashly, but had his own plan.
Anyone who thinks the big man in yellow is a fool is the biggest fool.
Zhao Shouze's heart was filled with shock. He had never expected that the big man in yellow would be so brave and courageous. He actually ignored his sharp blade and rushed straight towards him.
The speed was incredibly fast! Carrying the huge rapid-fire cannon, the yellow-clothed man's figure was as erratic as a ghost. His feet stepped on the ground, but there was almost no obvious landing movement. It seemed that he could instantly cross a distance of several meters with just a light touch on the ground.
This running posture left a series of afterimages in Zhao Shouze's eyes, which were unreal and blurry, making it difficult for him to capture the other party's true position.
What frightened him even more was that the ferocious rapid-fire cannon on the yellow-clothed man's shoulder began to flash dangerous light at the muzzle, and the energy fluctuations became more and more intense, foreshadowing the terrifying power that was about to erupt.
Zhao Shouze did not dare to delay. In a flash, the big knife in his hand swept out suddenly. The hot flaming blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and went straight to the waist of the big man in yellow.
At this moment, the two were about fifteen meters apart. Zhao Shouze was confident that with his speed and attack power, he could completely defeat his opponent in the next series of attacks.
He even thought that at such a close distance, the yellow-clothed man would not have enough time to fire the rapid-fire cannon. However, just as the blade was about to touch the yellow-clothed man, Zhao Shouze's pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw that the big man in yellow had a cigar in his mouth, a cigar that was emitting a light golden glow.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. A cloud of golden smoke swirled around him, as if covering him with a mysterious veil.
At the same time, a layer of dazzling golden light burst out from his body, forming an indestructible shield.
The big man in yellow held up the rapid-fire cannon and completely ignored Zhao Shouze's attack, allowing the hot blade to cut into his body.
"Bang!" A crisp metal collision sound resounded throughout the venue. The blade collided with the golden shield, causing circles of energy ripples.
The big man in yellow just shook slightly and continued to charge forward, while Zhao Shouze's sword light was like a drop in the ocean, completely swallowed up by the golden light, without causing any harm to him.
Zhao Shouze exclaimed in his heart: "Invincible shield?" He couldn't believe it. Could it be that the other party used some illegal means?
"He committed a foul!" This thought flashed through Zhao Shouze's mind.
He subconsciously looked up at the referee Ye Yulin who was floating in the air, but found that the other party did not make any response and the game was still going on.
At this moment, the big man in yellow had rushed in front of Zhao Shouze, and the distance between the two was almost zero.
The rapid-fire soul guide cannon in his hand was no longer aimed and fired, but swept out like a giant pillar, smashing towards Zhao Shouze with overwhelming momentum.
Zhao Shouze was shocked. In a hurry, he could only use the big knife in his hand to block this sudden attack.
As a melee soul instructor, he has absolute confidence in his strong physical fitness.
However, he didn't know that in this world, there are people with special talents. They are born with supernatural powers that far exceed ordinary people.
The big man in yellow is one of them. Although his strength cannot be compared with Wang Qiuer's extreme strength, he is still much stronger than the average soul master.
With a deafening "bang", Zhao Shouze felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him, which knocked him and his knife flying.
He staggered back, lost his balance and nearly fell to the ground.
The huge impact force was transmitted along the knife shaft to his chest, and a sharp pain made him groan.
He felt a surge of blood in his chest, and breathing became difficult.
Zhao Shouze suppressed the discomfort and quickly adjusted his posture to stabilize his shaking body.
He knew that now was not the time to give up. He had to fight back immediately!
At the critical moment, Zhao Shouze acted decisively and activated the second state of the sword.
The originally silver-white blade instantly turned into a dazzling golden red, as if a burning flame was jumping.
A powerful energy wave emanated from the blade, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted.
Although the sword in this state loses its ability to attack from a distance, its melee power is greatly enhanced, enough to cut through steel.
The golden-red light reflected on Zhao Shouze's resolute face, making him look as majestic as a god of war.
However, just as Zhao Shouze was about to fight back, he saw the melee soul guide cannon in the yellow-clothed man's hand coming towards his chest.
The black muzzle of the gun was like a ferocious beast that was ready to devour its prey, emitting a heart-pounding chill.
Zhao Shouze did not hesitate at all. He immediately raised the big knife in his hand that was burning with golden red flames, ready to use the hot blade to chop off the melee soul guide cannon of the big man in yellow.
He believed that with the powerful force of the sword at this moment, he would be able to split the soul guide cannon into two.
However, just as the blade was about to touch the muzzle of the gun, Zhao Shouze's heart sank suddenly, and a bone-chilling chill instantly spread throughout his body.
He saw that the soul power that had been accumulated at the muzzle of the rapid-fire cannon suddenly burst out, and the dazzling light was as dazzling as a small sun.
Zhao Shouze suddenly remembered that this was not an ordinary melee soul guide, but a rapid-fire cannon! Rapid-fire cannons, as the name suggests, are known for their fast firing speed.
On the battlefield, it is usually used for fire suppression, suppressing the enemy's actions through intensive artillery fire. Therefore, the power of a single shell is not too strong.
Like the level 7 rapid-fire cannon in the hands of the big man in yellow, the power of a single shot is almost the same as that of a level 6 high-explosive bomb.
However, the rapid-fire cannon of the yellow-clothed man has a significant difference from other rapid-fire cannons, that is, its size.
The size of this rapid-fire cannon is much larger than other rapid-fire cannons of the same level, and it appears particularly bulky.
But at the same time, its power far exceeds other rapid-fire guns of the same level.
The larger the size, the greater the power. This is an unchanging truth.
The shells of the yellow-clothed man's rapid-fire cannon are at least three times the size of ordinary level seven rapid-fire cannons, so its power is naturally increased.
Earlier, the big man in yellow used this heavy artillery to sweep across like a giant pillar, shaking Zhao Shouze away.
Now, he actually pointed the gun at Zhao Shouze, ready to fire directly!
After being shaken away, Zhao Shouze, in a moment of panic, actually forgot the nature of this soul guide - it is a cannon! A cannon that can fire shells!
At this moment, Zhao Shouze's golden-red blade was about to cut the muzzle of the rapid-fire cannon.
Under normal circumstances, with the power of the sword at this moment, even the muzzle made of rare metals can be easily cut off like cutting butter.
However, the yellow-clothed man's behavior was no different from firing a rapid-fire cannon in front of Zhao Shouze! No matter what, it was still a cannon!
Then, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire stadium.
"Boom--" A dazzling ball of light suddenly exploded between the big man in yellow and Zhao Shouze. It was as dazzling as a miniature sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
The violent energy shock wave spread wildly around the two people, causing a hurricane and making the clothes of the audience in the stands rustle.
At the center of the explosion, the huge body of the man in yellow was blown away by the huge recoil. He held the heavy rapid-fire cannon tightly and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, drawing a parabola. (End of this chapter)
