Chapter 264: The Burning Body! Ye Zhi is itching to fight

The fifth-ring spell "Blizzard" was like a natural disaster, with vast expanses of ice and snow sweeping across the arena, bringing great shock to the audience.

The annual competition was a rare opportunity for common people to witness extraordinary strength. Kings used it to boast about the bravery of their knights and demonstrate the strength of their country.

The spells that were once only seen in epic poems are now cast by Earl Yeats's magical pet, defeating powerful enemies with overwhelming force.

All eyes and glory were focused on Yeats.

This tall and slender young earl holding a sword and an eagle has become the focus of the whole audience!

The ordinary people were in awe, excited, and proud; the nobles from extraordinary families whispered to each other, either in fear or admiration.

The venue was bustling.

Yeats left the stage, his back gradually disappearing into the shadows of the corridor, with thunderous cheers behind him.

In a luxuriously decorated grandstand box, with red velvet curtains blocking out the cheers, the Duke of Alba, with curly black hair and a neatly trimmed beard, sat on an armchair with a frown on his face.

"The extraordinary resources in Morning Frost Ridge are extremely scarce. Even a decent potion material cannot be found... Even if you are an artistic god, you still need potions to advance."

"How did Yeats Bronte achieve four rings in just one year?"

The Duke of Alba seemed to be asking himself this question, and glanced at Archbishop Tolbin beside him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Because he climbed onto the thigh of the Goddess of Mist.

Even the goddess of art was kept in the dark by him.

Being the chosen one of art, he secretly serves the goddess of mist... This is totally in line with the way of mist!

Tolbin certainly couldn't say this openly, so he smiled and said, "It must be because Earl Yeats is so talented."

The Duke of Alba sneered, "He didn't even have his extraordinary blood detected back then. How can he be said to have extraordinary talent? Only illiterate peasants would believe that."

Archbishop Tolbin lowered his eyes and smiled, "Then there is only one possibility... Earl Yeats has made unimaginable efforts."

The Duke of Alba was startled, then nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

Torbin saw this and sneered to himself. This guy really believed it! On that day, after Yeats defeated the son of the Duke of Alba and advanced to the semi-finals, the result of another duel surprised everyone.

Calvin Thomas, who was highly expected, lost to the civilian demon hunter Gerald Fenrir and was ridiculed by all the nobles.

Calvin was convinced of his defeat. He had already seen Jero's expert swordsmanship in the duel, and his sword moves were more powerful than those of some five-ring heroes who specialized in swordsmanship!

Moreover, Jello used dual swords and his fighting skills were unpredictable. Calvin felt that only Yeats' sword skills could be compared with his. Since he was not as skilled as Yeats, it was not unfair for him to lose to Jello.

In addition, June, known as the "Red Rose of Lannister", defeated the chief knight of the Knight Academy of Tame University and advanced to the semi-finals, becoming the second most talked-about figure in the city of London after Yeats.

The last knight to advance to the semi-finals was a blacksmith's son named Ax.

His father is said to be a descendant of the Templar Knights of Lorraine. He lived in seclusion in the mountains and was good at forging. He also taught the "Flame Fighting Qi" to Axe.

The condition for mastering "Flame Fighting Qi" is to believe in the God of Fire and Forging. Its principle is similar to the "Furnace Fighting Qi" created by the God of Fire, and both are very suitable for forging.

However, the Crucible Fighting Qi is for the disabled to practice, and its characteristic is "repair", which allows it to launch continuous attacks.

The Fiery Fighting Qi is for healthy people to use, and its characteristic is "self-immolation". It will hurt the enemy by one thousand and hurt oneself by eight hundred.

Every time he activates his flaming fighting spirit, Axe's entire body will be engulfed in flames, making him look like a fire demon from hell. After the game, his skin will be extensively burned and carbonized.

But his wife is a Moonlight believer who is good at healing, which is also the biggest support for Axe to reach the semi-finals.

"Is it me and Axl who are going to face off next?"

At Silver Birch Manor, Ye Zhi learned the result of the draw from Phocas who had just returned from the arena. He nodded slowly and said:

"This is a true knight, and I must do my best to show my respect."

The higher the number of rings of a transcendent, the more vigorous the Tree of Life in the soul realm will be, and the stronger the body will be.

Gray is already a five-ring dragon vein sorcerer, with dragon blood flowing in her veins, and her body is only stronger than Ye Zhi's.

In order to hone their fighting skills, Ye Zhi and Grey sealed off their soul realms and had a fight in the courtyard. As expected, Ye Zhi was blown away by Grey's "Blessing·Dragon Tail".

Boom! Ye Zhi flew backwards and hit the tree hard, breaking the trunk with a "bang", and grimaced.

Gray screamed, and hurried forward to help Ye Zhi up, apologetically saying: "Yes, I'm sorry... I didn't use enough force."

Ye Zhi complained: "You clearly hit me with your tail... What on earth was that move?!"

Just now, Ye Zhi only saw that when Gray turned around, a red dragon tail phantom appeared behind her, carrying a tremendous force and rushing towards her. The force was so great that it made her fly out directly.

"It is a blessing unique to the Land of Dragons. It is said to be the power of the Dragon God."

Gray scratched his head: "In addition to the dragon tail, I also learned the dragon claws, dragon roar, dragon wings... The blessing of the Dragon God is quite comprehensive."

Ye Zhi said in surprise: "Good fellow, you have received the Dragon God's skill gift package."

"I'll take you to the Dragon Country later!" Gray's cheeks flushed slightly, and she patted her chest to guarantee, "With your food feasting skills, as long as you offer sacrifices to the Dragon God, He will definitely bless you!"

The squirrel stood on the collapsed tree trunk and said teasingly, "Look, are you going to take Yeats back to her parents' home?"

Gray was a little flustered, as if her little trick had been exposed, and she said stubbornly, "I'm not!"

"Oh, I see."

Zuanya jumped twice on the fallen tree trunk, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

"You want to knock Ye Zhi to the ground first, and then take him back to his mother's house!"

Ye Zhi shouted, "Drill teeth, why do you have such a good imagination!"

After further in-depth discussion, Yeats had a concrete assessment of Gray's current strength.

The value of the 'Heart of the Dragon' given to Grey by the King of the Wild Hunt was far beyond Ye Zhi's imagination. It not only helped Grey advance two levels to the fifth ring, but also her potential was far from being stimulated.

Gray currently has the blessing of the Dragon God. Although she does not have a legendary weapon, her strength is already comparable to that of Hildurde of Walpurgis Night.

Hildre is currently searching for the traces of the nameless old man in the North. She communicated with Ye Zhi a few days ago, saying that she had found a secret place and would practice in seclusion. As a Valkyrie with a destiny, Hildre's growth rate cannot be summarized by common sense. Ye Zhi speculated that she might have touched the threshold of a master.

The promotion of Gray and Hildreth also brought a sense of urgency to Yeats.

Currently, Ye Zhi hopes that after eliminating the threat of Lord Blood Spider, the royal family will provide him with abundant resources to help him break through to become a five-ring hero.

Once he becomes a Five Rings Hero, he will have the confidence to establish a principality. Yeats can even establish a family branch and design a new family crest.

"I think honeysuckle is a good choice for a family emblem. Its other names, honeysuckle and silver vine, have good meanings."

Yeats had begun to daydream.

"In Shakespeare's Richard III, there is the Duke of Plantagenet... I can call myself the Duke of Honeysuckle!"

*The next day, the weather was gloomy and there was heavy fog in London.

The arena was still as lively as ever and was packed with people.

The Golden Lions semi-finals have attracted international attention, with both the Kingdom of Roland and the Divine Empire sending envoys to watch the game. The envoys have the mission of investigating the country's strength and also the task of finding out about the health of the Lionheart King.

King Richard the Lionheart invited all the envoys to sit in the most distinguished stand beside the venue. Wearing a crown and a royal robe, he exuded the majesty of an emperor and said slowly:

"Today, Ye Zhi and Axe will duel. Both of them are talented people of the Golden Lion. I believe they will not disappoint the two messengers."

The Roland Kingdom diplomat was tall and slender, with a small mustache and a good appearance. He smiled modestly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The envoy of the Divine Court Empire was fat and inconspicuous, but he was a famous lobbyist on the continent. He once used his mouth to make the 50,000 orcs of the Kingdom of Beasts retreat. He smiled and said:

"I have heard of Yeats Bronty's deeds a long time ago. It is amazing that a little-known baron from a remote border area became famous in the capital in one battle."

"It's just that." The envoy changed the subject, "Axe is a descendant of the Knights of the Round Table. In my opinion, his strength should not be underestimated."

"It's a duel of tit-for-tat. Only in this way can the spirit of chivalry be demonstrated. Don't you agree, Your Excellency?" the diplomat said with a smile.

The envoy was startled, then he smiled and nodded: "That's very true."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yeats who was walking slowly onto the stage. The handsome young man looked heroic and put on armor. His appearance alone caused cheers in the arena.

The other side.

Axe was only wearing a thin linen shirt, revealing his muscular arms. He was very strong, about two meters tall, but had a delicate appearance and neat black hair.

Black hair is a symbol of imperial bloodline.

The imperial envoy couldn't help but take a closer look and asked, "Why isn't Ax wearing armor?"

The jester Mormo answered on his behalf: "Your Excellency, every time Axe uses his flaming fighting spirit, he becomes naked, with only flames covering his body. In my opinion, it would be more convenient for him to go into battle without any clothes on!"

"The Fiery Fighting Qi will cause great pain to the user, but it is extremely powerful and is now on the verge of being lost." Diplomat Roland sighed, "It seems that the duel between Earl Yeats and Axe will be quite intense!"

On the court.

Yeats and Axe nodded to each other.

Aks was taciturn, but his eyes were filled with boiling fighting spirit, as if flames were about to erupt.

Bang!

The moment the bell rang for the game, his legs suddenly stepped on the ground, leaving a huge pit on the ground, leaving a trail of flames and black smoke. His right fist was wrapped in flames and hit Ye Zhi in the face!

The user of Fiery Fighting Qi does not need weapons, because any weapons will be melted into molten iron by the fire. Only a body stronger than steel is worthy of bearing Fiery Fighting Qi!

The hot wind blew towards him, and Ye Zhi's eyes flashed slightly. Axel's speed was even beyond his expectations!

Was it because the blazing fighting spirit stimulated and increased his reaction speed? Ye Zhi had no time to think about it, he raised his sword and used the "Combat Skill: See Through" to see Axe's boxing style.

Ding! Ye Zhi's palms were numb. He blocked the punch with all his strength, but his feet dug deep into the ground, leaving two deep pits.

The force is so great and terrifying.

The flaming fighting spirit was the fighting spirit that was best at attacking! Without giving Ye Zhi a chance to breathe, Axe's clothes had turned to ashes in the flames. The two-meter-tall giant was burning with flames all over his body, and the flames were like a cloak flying on his broad shoulders.

His figure disappeared in an instant and appeared above Yeats's head, blocking out the sun and casting a shadow.

A high-raised whip kick, like a falling battle axe, wrapped in flames, smashed down with a bang! Ye Zhi dodged lightly, leaped into the air, and stayed in the air for a long time. In his eyes, Axe's whip kick was reflected, and a strange color flashed across his eyes.

boom!!

The entire site had collapsed, with cracks in the giant pit radiating outward in a spider-web-like pattern. Axe, like a fire demon, stood at the bottom of the pit, raising his indifferent eyes and locking onto Yeats.

Suddenly.

In a flash, he was already approaching! He raised his knee and hit Ye Zhi's lower abdomen! The elbow and knee joints are the sharpest parts of the human body, and they are also the innate killing weapons of humans. In front of the surging flames, Ye Zhi felt as if a battle axe was chopped across his waist.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

This knee strike must not be resisted head-on! Ye Zhi's body, which was already falling, relied on the flash technique to move three meters away, standing on the messy ground to adjust his breathing.

But Axe seemed to have anticipated this. His knee strike was just a feint to force Yezhi to dodge. He raised his knee and then stepped down, trampling towards the place where Yezhi landed!

Ye Zhi's eyes flashed, and he slashed out with a moonlight sword, but the sword's power was ruthlessly destroyed by the raging fire.

Amidst the deafening roar, the kick hit Ye Zhi's right shoulder. Ye Zhi felt as if he was hit head-on by a train. His body flew backwards and barely landed on the ground. He took several steps to stop himself.

This was the first time since the duel between Yeats that the rhythm was completely taken over by someone else.

This is the terrifying part of the blazing fighting spirit, because this powerful speed was gained by Axe at the cost of his own life! Yezhi's swordsmanship is at the expert level, and at this moment, under the blazing flames, Axe's physical skills are close to the master level, and his control of rhythm is already perfect! In the stands, the Lionheart King and others all had strange looks in their eyes, and Axe's burst of fighting spirit was beyond everyone's expectations.

Is there any reason why he must win?

Are you willing to defeat Yeats even at the cost of blood?

Axe's kick was not aimless, he aimed at Ye Zhi's right shoulder, in order to disarm him. Ye Zhi already felt half of his body numb, if he didn't want the sword to slip out of his hand, he had to disrupt Axe's rhythm!

After kicking Yeats' right shoulder, Axe did a somersault in the air like a swallow. Without a moment's breath after landing, he kicked the ground with a bang and rushed towards Yeats like an arrow!

Behind Axe, the image of a three-headed hellhound seemed to emerge, opening its bloody mouth and spewing out hellfire!

Buzz——

Yeats' most skilled spell, the flash spell!

Axe closed his eyes, and in that millisecond, Yeats finally took back the initiative.

Combat skill: Blade Dance.

The sword skills were like a storm, interweaving into a sword net, covering Axe! Axe couldn't even see the opponent's figure clearly. Ye Zhi's steps were like a ghost, and the sword seemed to attack from all directions. For a moment, he could only passively defend! The moonlight continued to strangle Axe, piercing through the flames of fighting spirit, leaving dense scars on his body, splashing blood mist. However, Axe seemed to have no sense of pain, and protected his head with his arms.

He found the gap between the sharp blades and punched them in the middle! Boom!

The sword's power collapsed.

Ye Zhi's eyes focused, and he raised his hand to release the Unicorn Spear. The powerful lance cut through the sky and pierced into Ax's chest.

In Axe's eyes, the spear was indeed powerful, but its speed was too slow, and he could easily dodge it. But just as he dodged, he heard the sound of an iron chain next to his ears!

Ye Zhi's right arm was tightly wrapped with an iron chain, one end of the Wild Hunt Chain was clenched in the palm of his hand, and the other end bound Axe tightly! In the stands, Jello couldn't help but hissed.

You are the bastard son of the King of the Wild Hunt!

How many Wild Hunt blessings have you used? !

Axe's eyes were startled. He tried to break free from the chain, but he was horrified to find that even the Fiery Dou Qi could not break the chain! At the same time, the Unicorn Spear fell down with a bang, and a white light suddenly appeared. The silver moonlight swallowed Axe! Boom! !

"Did you kill that guy?" In the stands, Roger didn't dare to breathe.

"Strong." Jello rubbed his chin, "Axel... unexpectedly strong!"

The smoke dissipated.

The fiery fighting spirit on Axe's body had dissipated, his body was covered with burn marks, his eyes were lifeless, and his knees thumped to the ground.

Ye Zhi could feel that his breathing had stopped.

However, a strong sense of crisis soon arose behind Yeats.

In the realm of creation, there is a strange surge of divinity.

Violent, hot, fierce! Buzz! Axe suddenly opened his eyes, and flames gushed out of his eye sockets and mouth, and he roared.

Crack! The Wild Hunt's lock was torn off! Yeats was moved.

He recognized this move, which players called a powerful skill that could only be used when one was seriously injured and dying.

The blessing of the God of Fire: the flaming body!

The hot wind blew in his face, leaving behind an afterimage, and Ax's fist, carrying a raging fire, hit Yeats' already injured right shoulder.

Bang!

Yeats's standard iron sword fell to the ground.

Yeats staggered back, feeling a fishy and sweet taste in his throat that was difficult to calm down, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Axe's speed suddenly slowed down, and his movements were as if he had pressed the slow-motion button, but the power of his boxing skills increased exponentially, and a simple straight punch came towards him!

Black Knight's blessing: Analyze the opponent.

Yeats saw Axe's flaws.

At the same moment, Ye Zhi's right fist was filled with cold air, condensing into a sharp ice edge! The extreme cold fist and the jab, the two fighting skills superimposed on each other.

Ye Zhi's right hand was injured, but "Talent: Fighting Frenzy" can only deliver a critical hit when injured! A flash of surprise flashed in Axe's eyes.

Yeats actually chose to fight fist with fist!

Flame and frost, straight punches and jabs.

Two completely different forces.

Fists collided with each other! Boom!

The terrifying air waves surged to both sides, shaking the barrier.

The audience was shocked, and King Lionheart looked surprised.

Axel's pupils contracted.

After all, he was a beat too slow, and before he could throw a straight punch, the fierce jab came towards him!

With a crisp sound, Axl's entire right hand was broken and fell limply.

But Yeats's frost jab strikes first!

Boom! !

Axel's body fell out and landed heavily on the ground.

The arena was completely silent.

The audience showed strong shock on their faces.

Axe's eyes were gray and his face was full of bitterness as he looked at the sky.

Immediately his eyes dimmed and he fell into a coma!

In an instant.

The venue was in a frenzy!

Although he is a bard, he defeated Ax, a follower of the God of Fire, with his boxing skills... The imperial envoy and Roland diplomat exchanged glances and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The Lionheart King was the first to applaud. Even this old man was moved by the duel between the two! On the field.

Ye Zhi shook his aching right fist, looked up at the sky, and took a breath.

In the close combat just now, Ye Zhi had some realization.

Ye Zhi's weak point in physical skills was broken through and he successfully reached the senior level! "It seems that no matter if you are a detective or a bard, you have to learn some physical skills to protect yourself."

Ye Zhi was itching to fight, and muttered to himself, "My godfather must know a lot of boxing skills... I'll give him a few more pornographic books someday!"
