Chapter 263 Semi-finals
Four of the top 12 players were seriously injured and could not participate in the competition. Therefore, the original top 12 competition directly turned into the quarterfinals, with two consecutive games to determine the top 2.
When Zhao Hu and eight other contestants took the luxury maglev train provided by the royal family and rushed from the royal manor to the central square of the imperial capital, the audience who had already been waiting in the square to reminisce about the past, all of whom made excited cheers, and some of them shouted the name of a contestant.
Affected by the excited cheers of the audience in the square, the eight contestants sitting on the luxurious maglev train involuntarily showed an excited look. Some contestants even stood up and raised their hands to the audience in the square, which caused the audience to cheer wildly.
The luxurious maglev train stopped in the central square. Zhao Hu and eight other contestants, led by staff, climbed onto four rings, looking at the opponent and analyzing their strength, while quietly waiting for the ring to start the ring battle.
The eight contestants who stood out from more than 3,000 contestants were each not weak, each with talent and strength far beyond the fan. Each was a genius boy from the Huanyu Empire and a future strongman from the Huanyu Empire.
Facing an opponent of the same level as him, Zhao Hu did not dare to be careless. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the opponent only, and echoed in his mind the various means used in the opponent's arena battle, as well as the means and superpowers that might be used today.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A crisp ringtone rang in the central square, and the signal of the ring battle started clearly reached every contestant's ears.
"My name is Zhou Xu, please give me some advice!"
Hearing a crisp and soft voice, the handsome young man standing opposite Zhao Hu, wearing a black tight combat uniform, pulled out a sharp long sword from his waist, looked directly at Zhao Hu, and said with a calm expression.
After saying that, Zhou Xu kicked the ground hard without waiting for Zhao Hu to respond, and his body disappeared from the spot, like a sharp arrow, approaching Zhao Hu's side. The sharp sword in his hand was even more swung out, and a series of sharp sword energy containing terrifying energy shot out from it, with a sharp edge, quickly slashing towards Zhao Hu's body.
Facing Zhou Xu's fierce attack, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged. With a light shout, a metal ball shot out from his body, quietly suspended beside him. With his light shout, it turned into more than ten sharp flying knives and soared into the air, facing more than ten sharp sword energy, and ruthlessly smashed it and dissipated in the air.
Immediately following, more than ten sharp flying knives, the remaining momentum remained unabated. With a sharp edge, he quickly slashed towards Zhou Xu's body, a posture of trying to dismember Zhou Xu for several segments.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of crisp metal collisions sounded over the ring. Zhou Xu, who was running rapidly, met more than ten sharp flying knives, waved the sharp long sword in his hand, and picked up more than ten sharp flying knives, and moved towards Zhao Hu at the same speed.
In Zhou Xu's impression, Zhao Hu is just a metal psychic. As long as he approaches Zhao Hu and Zhao Hu can't cause damage to the metal abilities, he can easily kill or defeat Zhao Hu.
As for whether Zhao Hu would use the ability to manipulate metal to control the sharp sword in his hand, Zhou Xu didn't even think about it, because the sharp sword in his hand was made of special metal mixed with special materials. The second-level metal abilities could not have any impact on the sharp sword in his hand.
"Sword Formation!"
Seeing more than ten sharp flying swords being picked up by Zhou Xu using a sharp long sword, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged. With a light shout, more than ten sharp flying swords split instantly, turning into hundreds of tiny flying swords, forming a dense sword net, and stabbing towards Zhou Xu's body.
Faced with the attack from the dense sword net, Zhou Xu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He roared, and the sharp sword in his hand danced out lightly, trying to destroy the sword formation.
However, what disappointed Zhou Xu was that although the sharp sword in his hand had picked up some flying swords, more flying swords broke through the defense of the sharp sword and pierced into his body, causing him to let out a shrill scream, hundreds of wounds were added to his body, and streams of red blood flowed out of the hundreds of wounds, making his body weakened instantly.
"I admit defeat!"
Feeling the hundreds of tiny flying swords in his body shaking gently, ready to pierce the organs and vital points in his body at any time, Zhou Xu's face changed drastically. Without any hesitation or hesitation, he immediately threw the sharp sword in his hand and admitted defeat loudly.
"Congratulations to Zhao Hu for winning the ring battle and successfully advancing to the semi-finals!"
As soon as Zhou Xu's voice fell, the staff in charge of the arena battle quickly announced loudly.
Immediately afterwards, two big men quickly climbed onto the ring and lifted the injured Zhou Xu down. The hundreds of tiny flying swords that pierced Zhou Xu's body with Zhao Hu's slight shout, shot out from Zhou Xu's body, quickly fused into a small metal ball, and returned to Zhao Hu's body.
After winning the arena battle and successfully promoted to the semi-finals, Zhao Hu turned his attention to other arenas and carefully observed the combat skills and combat skills used by other players.
Zhao Hu won the ring battle and was the first to be promoted to the semi-finals, which shocked the other three players on the ring. The movements in his hands were involuntarily increased a lot, wanting to defeat the opponent as soon as possible and end the battle.
Soon, under the strong attacks of three third-level warriors of Zhang Lei and Song Liangmu Jian, the three players were defeated one after another, officially ending the semi-finals. Zhang Lei and Song Liangmu Jian and Zhao Hu became the semi-finals, and were excitedly cheered by countless audiences.
As soon as the semi-finals emerged, the royal family members who were responsible for hosting the arena battle immediately let Zhao Hu, Zhang Lei, Song Liang and Mu Jian enter the two arenas, start the semi-finals, and decide the two strongest ones.
"Boy, you are good at it. Are you interested in being my subordinates and playing for me? I can spare your life so that you will not die tragically on the ring!"
Zhang Lei, wearing a white robe and handsome, stood at one end of the ring, looked at Zhao Hu with a proud look on his face, and said in a plain tone.
Zhang Lei's proud expression and plain tone, as well as his strong and cold words made Zhao Hu frown slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he retorted loudly with murderous intent: "Next year's day is your death day!"
As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zhang Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold murderous intent was released from his body, locking Zhao Hu tightly, ready to take action at any time and kill Zhao Hu ruthlessly.
Feeling Zhang Lei's cold murderous intent, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged. He snorted coldly, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body, forming a thin protective cover, blocking Zhang Lei's murderous intent.
"What a fierce murderous intent, a fierce look, and with this person's mysterious origin, it is definitely a huge threat to me. I must kill him to prevent future troubles!"
Feeling Zhao Hu's fierce murderous intent, Zhang Lei secretly thought in his heart that the murderous intent on his body became stronger and stronger, like a monster who was responsible for eating.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A crisp ringtone rang in the central square and clearly reached the ears of every contestant.
"Holy Light Bomb!"
As soon as the crisp ringtone rang, Zhang Lei, who was already prepared, raised the white scepter in his hand and shouted lightly. The gems at the top of the white scepter released dazzling holy lights, and basketball-sized holy light bullets, carrying terrifying power, crossed the sky and shot towards Zhao Hu's body.
Facing the attack of more than ten holy light bombs the size of basketballs, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged. With a light shout, a metal ball flew out of his body, turned into more than ten sharp flying knives, soared into the air, and faced more than ten holy light bombs, detonated it in the air, making violent explosions, arousing dazzling lights.
Immediately afterwards, under the powerful explosive power, the flying knife that was blown into dozens of blades was quickly transformed into dozens of tiny flying swords under the control of Zhao Hu. It slashed through the void with a sharp edge, and rushed straight towards Zhang Lei's body with a sharp edge.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of metal collision sounded over the arena, and tiny flying swords hit Zhang Lei hard, but were blocked by the holy light shield outside Zhang Lei's body and could not penetrate into Zhang Lei's body.
"Purify the Holy Light!"
After looking at dozens of tiny flying swords blocked by the holy light shield, Zhang Lei's expression changed slightly, and he roared. The white scepter in his hand shone loudly, and a series of extremely rich auras of light were released from it. The holy light that burned everything and purified everything spread, spreading, wrapping Zhao Hu, causing Zhao Hu's skin to hurt, and his whole body seemed to be melting.
"court death!"
Feeling the discomfort in his body, Zhao Hu roared angrily, pulled out the poisonous stinger from his waist, and shot Zhang Lei with a shot. The extremely powerful poisonous stinger bullet passed through the void like lightning, hitting Zhang Lei accurately, smashing the holy light shield outside Zhang Lei's body, and then he fell to the ground weakly, making a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of tiny flying swords blocked by the Holy Light Protective Cover turned into afterimages at the moment the Holy Light Protective Cover broke, and with a sharp edge, it pierced into Zhang Lei's eyebrows, neck and eyes and other vital places, making him unable to even make a shrill scream, and he fell to the ground powerlessly and slowly lost the breath of life.
As soon as Zhang Lei fell to the ground, two big men carried Zhang Lei down to treat him. As for whether he could be rescued, it depends on his luck.r1058
