The sun is shining brightly today, but there are still some water marks on the arena, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
When everyone was present, Xie Helin and Xia Xiao saluted to His Majesty and the others and walked down from the observation deck.
Looking at the two people's backs, the generals and civil officials who came to see them made bold guesses that His Majesty also had someone he liked in his mind.
"General, who do you think is stronger?"
"Since Your Majesty asked, I will tell you straight away. Although His Royal Highness Prince Rong is strong, Xiao'er is still slightly better."
"Oh? Xia Xiao has good talent, but his age and strength are still a little low, right?"
"It's low for ordinary people, but not for Xiao'er."
King Nan glanced at the ministers, and their faces looked a little bad. Obviously, they were optimistic about King Rong, but was Xia Jinghong too bold? There were all kinds of eyes around, but Xia Jinghong was neither humble nor arrogant. He and Xia Xu stood straight, protecting Xiao Rong in the center.
If the Southern King belittled him, it would not matter if Xia Jinghong lowered his head and lowered his status. But if he did not think highly of his own child and did not acknowledge him, who else could he expect to respect him? Xia Jinghong was a good father and taught Xia Xiao a lot, including this trip. Humility is naturally a good character, but in order to protect his family, what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
After stepping over the steps, when the soles of his feet landed on the arena, a wave of vital energy spread slightly around the soles of his feet. Xia Xiao looked in the direction of Xie Helin, his pupils condensed, and the soles of his feet parted. The wave of energy was like a flood, blowing the water marks on the arena violently and heading towards Xie Helin. The latter did the same, and the vital energy waves collided immediately, and the water droplets evaporated in the wind, turning into nothingness.
It was so exciting from the beginning, and everyone on the observation deck was even more excited.
"Let's go under the eaves."
Xia Jinghong pulled Xiao Rong away. Seeing this, the King of the South secretly snorted. He was so tough just now, but now he is soft. He is really just a military commander, not smart. He can only pay the price for his impulsiveness just now.
Returning his gaze to the arena, King Nan said loudly:
“Let’s get started!”
Xia Xiao and Xie Helin were a hundred meters apart. Before the latter could speak, the former said:
"Lord Prince Rong must use all his strength, lest he lose too early. I can't tell the outcome."
"Then Master Xia Xiao, you have to be careful."
Xie Helin didn't expect Xia Xiao to be so arrogant. He immediately formed a seal and summoned his extremely unique contracted beast.
A deep purple light appeared in the sky and fell behind Xie Helin. Then, the whole sky became gloomy, and rain was about to fall from the gathering dark clouds.
The dark purple light released extremely huge lightning behind Xie Helin. Among them, a huge monster gradually took shape, and the low and long roar seemed to overlap two sounds. Amid the roar and the sound of breaking wind, the lightning was torn apart by thick and sharp claws, revealing a dark purple monster with a deer head and a bear body.
"Is this the sixth-level contracted beast of His Royal Highness Prince Rong, the Deer God?"
“I’ve heard of it a hundred times, but this is the first time I’ve seen it.”
"I heard that the Southern Kingdom sacrificed nearly 10,000 soldiers for this Deer God."
"It's not that exaggerated, but there are more than 6,000 people."
…
There was a lot of discussion, among which His Majesty looked delighted, while Concubine Mei looked the most proud.
This graceful and wealthy woman never takes pride in herself. She knows that she is just a pawn in the hands of His Majesty. All the power she has is fake. Although she looks very powerful, His Majesty can banish her to the cold palace with just one word. Only with her child, Xie Helinqiang, can she truly gain the power to live and be truly happy.
The sound of thunder and lightning rang in the air. Among them, Xie Helin had a cold face and a voice like thunder.
"Master Xia Xiao doesn't want to summon the contracted beast?"
He hoped that Xia Xiao would be more serious, but Xia Xiao's face was calm and he said:
"It has been summoned, come!"
"Then I'll be welcome."
Xie Helin looked around and didn't see any contracted beasts. But the sturdy Deer God behind him straightened his body and ran towards him. This wild beast, which is tens of meters tall, can shake the earth with one step. Everyone was even more excited by the movement, but Xia Xiao still didn't move. Was he pretending to be mysterious, or was he really strong to a certain extent? Everyone thought it was the former. People who are lifted up to a high place can easily lose themselves. But Xia Xiao belongs to the latter!
The Deer God's claws were accompanied by lightning, and the lightning was like a python, and its body rumbled. But the moment it stepped forward, before its feet landed, the whole world became dark.
"It's dark?"
Countless people were asking, countless people were curious, but what answered them was the extremely dense black cloud in the sky. Thunder dragons were tumbling in the black cloud, and fell down in an instant, causing the heaven and earth to tremble and flash.
"When did Lord Rong gain such strength?"
"He is indeed the hope of the South Country, a top genius!"
The eunuchs behind Concubine Mei kept chattering, and only shut up under her sharp gaze. Xia Xu's mouth corners raised, the show was about to begin.
When the Thunder Dragon fell, the Deer God took two steps and was about to hit Xia Xiao with his bear paw, but was blocked by the lightning. This lightning praised by countless people was Xia Xiao's power!
The thunder dragon was as thick as a pillar or a wall. Just a few flashes of electricity were enough to bind the Deer God's thick bear arms, making it difficult for him to move.
Along with the thunder and lightning came torrential rain and strong winds. In an instant, all the people on the viewing platform were thrown into disarray, and screams of misery rose and fell, extremely miserable. Among them were His Majesty and Concubine Mei. Xia Jinghong and the other two standing under the eaves quietly watched Xia Xiao's performance in the sound of rain curtains and water.
The rain was so heavy that not a single person had a dry spot on their clothes, and they were in a state of disgrace. King Nan and Concubine Mei did not bother to wipe their faces, but walked forward quickly, standing not far from the three people from the Xia family, and looked at the arena. Could Xia Xiao's strength really change the world in an instant? They did not believe it, but Xia Xiao did it.
If Xia Xiao only had the power of one line, it would certainly be difficult to do it, but the thunder and lightning and dark clouds were caused by Ju Mang, and the heavy rain was caused by Xiao Yu. The combination of the two was dramatic enough to amaze everyone.
Looking behind him, Xia Xiao saw that they were all looking at him again, so he took action. He didn't want these guys to miss any scene, so he had been waiting for them.
The lightning column in front of him gradually shrank, and finally only a birdman was left. The birdman was more than two meters tall, carrying a strong wind and silver lightning, and kicked the right palm of the deer god with one claw. Suddenly, the lightning slapped in all directions, raising a circular air wave. Even if the bear's paw was thick, it had a huge force at this time, forcing it to retreat.
The bird claw mark on the bear's paw is very eye-catching!
In the pouring rain, the Deer God, who was in tune with Xie Helin's mind, crushed the arena with one foot, and only stabilized after entering. Its eyes were red, and it was about to go crazy, but the vines under its feet bound it.
"ha!"
The clear sound was like the lament of an elf. When it was uttered, the rain in the air rolled up and suddenly crashed into the Deer God like a huge wave.
boom--
The Deer God fell down and hit the ground, making an earth-shaking sound that shocked hundreds of people.
Previously it was the power of the wood element, and now it was the water element. Xie Helin was pushed back dozens of meters by the water, and his hair was scattered, and his hair was wet and stuck to his face. His teeth were clenched under his cold face, and he was shivering slightly because of the cold air.
He raised his hands, formed a single hand seal with both hands, and released extraordinary vitality from his body. The vitality roared like the wind, causing the rain around to retreat instantly. This was the effect of the pill Xie Helin swallowed before. The vitality in it was enough to let the Deer God break free from the vines.
The roots and vines were torn apart. The Deer God wanted to stand up, but a flash of fire suddenly emerged from the ground along with the molten lava. The molten lava rose to the sky, making a huge noise. It changed in the air and became a huge mastiff head, swallowing the Deer God from above. Under the extremely high temperature of the molten lava, the Deer God had no choice but to follow Xie Helin's instructions and wrap himself with his vitality. But in this way, he would fall down again.
“Damn it!”
Xie Helin looked towards Xia Xiao. On his right was a birdman flapping its wings, and on his left was a mermaid swimming in the air. The idea of rushing directly towards Xia Xiao was born and disappeared in just one second. Xie Helin had no choice but to seal again, allowing the Deer God in the molten lava to release all the remaining power. Even if he lost, he couldn't be suppressed repeatedly.
The movement in the molten lava became quieter, and His Majesty and Concubine Mei felt depressed and could not help but glance at Xia Jinghong. The latter looked at the arena calmly, as if everything was under control. The King of the South did not expect that the most talented practitioner in his country would be so powerless in the face of Xia Xiao.
boom!
The sound of thunder and lightning made Concubine Mei's eyes light up. Her child was still fighting and had not given up! This middle-aged woman had an extraordinary temperament and knew how to show herself better than the empress who was used to tolerance. But the latter looked at her almost crazy and pulled His Majesty over, and said to Xie Yi beside her:
"Maintain a good relationship with Xia Xiao."
"Yes, mother."
Since Xia Xiao first shone in Ningshen Academy, Xie Yi had been prepared to not please him, but not offend him. Now that he and Xia Wan are married, Xia Xiao should call him second brother. From now on, he has to take on the responsibility of being the second brother.
On the arena, lightning pierced out from the molten lava like a spear. At Xia Xiao's call, the evil spirit returned to him with a flash of fire. A black and purple light flashed in the sky, turning into four handcuffs, heavily holding the Deer God's feet and hands. Due to its heavy weight, even a behemoth like the Deer God could hardly move.
"It's too ugly to lose like this."
Xie Helin bit his right thumb, used all his energy to push up the rain around him, and then drew a lightning pattern on his left palm.
He formed a seal and clasped his hands together. Immediately, the vast vitality in his body was mobilized, and the Deer God was ready to fight back, but was silenced by a cold light.
Xie Helin still had blood on the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that he would lose so quickly. But the ten-foot-long sword on the Deer God's neck had already threatened his life. The Deer God couldn't move. The long sword that had cut through the fur on his neck was ready to stab him at any time. If he died, Xie Helin would not be able to survive. This battle could only end here.
If we don't count the time Xia Xiao and the others took, the battle lasted less than a minute. At this time, he walked towards Xie Helin in the rain. This was probably the most arrogant back figure that the Southern King and the ministers had ever seen, and it was so determined and terrifying. If we didn't know that the owner of the back figure was Xia Xiao, we would have thought it was a lonely ghost.
Xia Xiao went forward alone, and the three different contracted beasts stayed where they were. He had enough confidence that even if Xie Helin still had a lot of vitality in his body, he would not be able to hurt him. Because he could kill him with just a bend of his fingers.
It was raining heavily, and the ground was getting more and more wet. Xia Xiao's footsteps were like stepping on the waves. When he came in front of Xie Helin, he did not extend his hand, nor did he politely say thank you, but just said:
"Your aura is a bit impetuous, so you should be more steady in your Qi training. Go slowly now so that you can go far in the future. Also, lightning also belongs to the Wood Element, so don't use it as a fire that can explode. You should bring out the nature of lightning and make it difficult to deal with, so that you can maximize the effect of lightning."
"You use the four elements of energy at the same time, and you can observe my habits of using energy?"
“It’s not difficult.”
The wound on the Deer God was fed back to Xie Helin, causing him to keep kneeling on one knee. His pride and competitiveness made him grit his teeth and stand up suddenly. He stared at Xia Xiao, looking fierce and unwilling to accept the defeat, but the victory and defeat had been decided, and Xia Xiao did not want to entangle, so he turned and walked towards the observation deck.
The arena had already been broken into pieces and was in a mess, but Xie Helin had never touched Xia Xiao, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
