Chapter 119 Duel (Part 2) Thank you. Nothing else, just a tough life...
The barrage of comments was instantly refreshed. At first, there were only a few of them, but after the audience realized that the show had started, the number immediately increased dramatically.
In this duel arena designated by the system, pure white bullet text rolled around the two people, forming layers of white circles, like a sacred and strange halo.
"Ah hey hey hey!" Qi Qing rolled backwards, avoiding another attack from the Demon Lord. "The audience is watching, no blood or violence in front of the camera!"
In the predicament of being unable to use weapons, the experienced Demon Lord completely crushed Qi Qing by relying solely on spiritual power and physical skills, forcing him to retreat step by step.
[Hey, the anchor is dead? Do you still remember us, the audience? ]
[Are you not going to be affectionate with me? Why are you fighting? 】
[Wait, isn't the person opposite the cub? ]
[I was blind in front, how could this evil spirit be a cub? ]
[Is that also a streamer? I saw that he seemed to have a skill card, why are there two streamers? Is there a bug? ]
"It's not a bug. The system is forcing me to fight fairly." Qi Qing dodged the fatal blow by leaning to the side and spoke quickly: "If you win, you'll be released from prison. If you lose, you'll be replaced! This is how it is. This is the situation. Can you give me some advice?"
[Change people??? Are you going to run away? ]
【Read, good luck~】
[Is this a new copy developed by the system? ]
Most of the comments were still confused. The Demon Lord frowned and asked in confusion, "Who are you talking to?"
After the system interface was shared, he could still see the barrage interface, but he couldn't understand it.
That’s right, after discovering that the Demon Lord was suspected to be illiterate, Qi Qing immediately thought of the role of barrage.
These simplified Chinese characters scrolling from left to right, interspersed with some proper nouns, are simply a semi-encrypted communication channel for ancient people like the Demon Lord!
The Demon Lord, in disbelief, threw a burst of spiritual power at the barrage, and the spiritual power passed through the flowing words, but the barrage remained intact.
"hiss!"
The young man fell to the ground without any care, rolling and crawling to avoid the attack of the Demon Lord, but he was still unable to escape the opponent's pursuit. The fierce palm wind left a bloody mark on Qi Qing's face.
Of course the soul would not bleed, but Qi Qing clearly felt that his soul became unstable for a moment.
His heart tightened. Was getting injured here equivalent to chronic death?
The barrage of comments also gradually figured out the trick.
[Are you two fighting in the spirit state? ]
[If I'm not mistaken, this is a case of the soul-stealing evil magic encountering a system account ownership conflict? I just checked the system terms and conditions, and if things go wrong, the anchor may really be replaced on the spot.]
【Sad.】
[No! Host, what color do you like? Red candles or white candles, paper money or paper ingots! As long as you ask, I will burn them all for you! ]
[Paper ingots, they are golden and the host will definitely like them. ]
【You haven't live streamed for so long...】
After suffering another blow, Qi Qingqing finally realized the significance of what the man said before: "I am no match for the Demon Lord."
How could a half-baked guy like him possibly beat a master with bare hands?
It’s all the system’s fault!
He glanced at the comments and felt even more distressed: "Wait, are you guys going to celebrate my seventh birthday now?!"
I had originally hoped that the barrage could provide some off-field guidance, but now it seems that it would be better to hope for the possibility of Yue Ji's divine soldier descending from the sky.
To be honest, he really needs Yue Ji now.
There are only two skill cards, and an equally powerful opponent will only become weaker after using them, and as for the blind box... Qi Qing is really afraid that it will fail at the critical moment.
But he had no choice but to use it now, as the comments were all watching the fun. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and click to use it.
——Come out, his east wind!
The lid of the box opened, and a small doll fell to the ground with a "plop".
Qi Qing: “…”
The little doll was still rubbing its head in confusion, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Before it was crushed by the Demon Lord, Qi Qing quickly picked it up and quickly stepped back.
"Why is it you again!" The young man was so angry that his teeth itched. At the same time, he couldn't help but waver and muttered, "Does God really want to kill me?"
What he needs now is a helper, not a toy!
Qi Qing decided to go all out and open another blind box to rescue the item.
At this moment, the little doll suddenly jumped up from his palm and landed steadily on his finger.
“What are you doing!”
Qi Qing's pupils shrank as he watched the wooden body of the puppet shattered into pieces by the Demon Lord's strong wind.
The scene in front of him seemed to be in slow motion. Due to the impact of spiritual power, cracks appeared on the little doll, which then expanded. Debris flew everywhere, and finally with a "bang", it completely fell apart.
However, at the moment the puppet disappeared, a shadow stretched out from the fragments and gradually grew larger.
A bony hand suddenly grabbed Qi Qing's wrist.
The two men who were fighting were stunned at the same time. Qi Qing's heart skipped a beat and his voice trembled: "Yue Ji?!"
The young man in black slowly raised his head, a few strands of hair broke free and fluttered in front of his forehead. His face was cold and murderous, and his eyes were shining with golden light, like dancing flames.
"Master, stand back."
…
At the same time, in the monks’ camp.
Thanks to the efforts of several Tribulation Crossing masters and Mirage Clan warriors, the arrogant offensive of the Demon Clan was finally temporarily curbed.
But bad news came one after another, and spies reported that another demon army unit failed to hunt down the Mirage Clan, and turned around and reappeared dozens of miles away. It seemed that they were using a feint attack as a cover, but in fact they divided their forces to attack the mortal villages and towns in the rear.
If the demons are allowed to succeed, the unarmed civilians will be slaughtered.
Even if the various sects had stationed disciples in important towns beforehand, how could these young and immature disciples resist the attacks of the demon generals? What was even more difficult was that the monks had no idea of the exact number of troops in this division, so it became a difficult question to decide how many reinforcements to send.
Just when the monks were in a dilemma, new information suddenly came from the front line.
Tiandu Zong Jiang Chen Qiu has led another Mirage Clan team to rush to the rescue, and most importantly, the guards of Xiwuzhou have appeared in the distance at the border between Middle-earth and Xiwuzhou.
——Looking at its patterns, it seems to be reinforcements for the gilded city!
…
It should have been a two-on-one battle, but something unexpected happened the moment Yue Ji drew his sword.
“clang——”
The buzzing sound of the sword being unsheathed came to an abrupt end, as an invisible force completely blocked his attack along with his spiritual power, leaving no trace.
[System warning: No external interference is allowed during a fair game. Violators will be killed.]
Qi Qing's newly-raised hope was instantly shattered, and he angrily said, "...Can you please have some shame?!"
The helper I had been waiting for so long ended up forcing me to have a fair fight!
Yue Ji's killing intent faltered, and he turned to Qi Qing: "Master, what is this?"
"As you can see." Qi Qing sighed, "There is an unreasonable thing that insists that I fight this guy fairly."
Seeing this, the Demon Lord laughed: "It seems that even the Heavenly Dao is not on your side! Outsider!"
This time he learned his lesson and took a quick glance at the instructions for the blind box, then followed Qi Qing's example and carefully clicked to open it.
The lid of the box opened, and a demon general rushed out roaring.
As the look of determination appeared on the Demon Lord's face, the Demon General's heroic movement stopped halfway and was also blocked by the system.
Yue Ji saw the right moment, raised his sword and pierced his heart.
Qi Qing mocked back, "Look, you're anxious again."
He sneered: "God hasn't been very kind to you."
The Demon Lord got angry, and the situation returned to the starting point.
——Qi Qing had to continue fighting with him.
The strange thing was that although the situation was still dangerous, because Yue Ji was right by his side, Qi Qing's uncertainty gradually calmed down and his moves became more relaxed.
But reason told him that if he continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated.
Qi Qing held his breath and concentrated, his gaze moving towards the blind box again.
Since living people can’t help, what about dead things?
Or can something that has no life at all escape the fair judgment of the system?
[Forget it, I'll just postpone it. Can someone lend a hand and help me out so that I don't really kill the anchor.]
[Don't worry, I'm checking the classics! ]
[It's not that I don't want to help, but the system is too restrictive, even the kids can't help. ]
[Don’t change the anchor, I don’t want to see the demon anchor…]
【I have a solution.】
At this moment, a new private message suddenly popped up in the background.
But the Demon Lord's attack was so fierce that Qi Qing had no time to check and was overwhelmed by it.
Seeing that he was of no help, Yue Ji pursed his lips and suddenly jumped onto the roof of the upside-down Soul Abyss palace.
“Swish!”
The Demon Lord attacked with a palm, and Qi Qing rolled on the ground, swallowing a mouthful of dust and coughing a few times. Before turning back, he finally freed his hands and activated "Equally matched opponent".
Taking a brief breath, Qi Qing quickly clicked on the message.
It turned out to be a private message from Qingnv.
In the picture sent, there was a difficult to understand rune.
Perhaps the moment of life and death stimulates one's potential. Qi Qing only took a glance and forced himself to remember it.
Raise your hand and draw in the air!
In an instant, an extremely biting chill enveloped the duel arena.
It came unusually, and even Qi Qing, who had ice spiritual roots, felt his bones aching from the bone-chilling cold, and his movements became a little slow.
A moment's delay was enough for the Demon Lord to launch a fatal attack.
Give it a go!
Qi Qing's heart was beating like a drum, and he gritted his teeth and chose to believe Qingnv.
A miracle happened - the Demon Lord's movements also paused, even slower than Qi Qing.
Then, his movements became slower and slower, like an old man about to die.
The fish and dragons in the deep valley howled sadly, and the reflected stars shook.
In just a few breaths, the white frost climbed up the Demon Lord's body as if it had life, and the face belonging to Yue Ji finally couldn't hold on and faded away, revealing the Demon Lord's own face.
His hair and beard were all white, and his face was pale, like an ancient corpse that had been sleeping for a thousand years. He stared at Qi Qing in disbelief.
The demon king's lips trembled, and he uttered two words with difficulty: "Upper... realm?"
His eyes were full of resentment and anger, and he simply didn't believe that Qi Qing could win the favor of people from the upper realm.
Why!
Why would people from the upper realm prefer to break the rules to help the mortal opposite them!
——She is just an outsider who has occupied the magpie's nest, using her beauty to seduce others, and has humble strength. Why should she be more favored than him who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage!
Seeing that the Demon Lord was under control, Qi Qing took a breath and heard Yue Ji's shouting from above.
“Master!”
He raised his eyes and saw Yue Ji standing on the eaves of the temple, making a gesture to him.
The opportunity has come!
The young man understood what he meant and was about to withdraw, but he saw that the Demon Lord had also noticed something was wrong and was furious. He was determined to get away even if his bones were damaged: "Bastard! How dare you!"
If he is allowed to escape, Qingnv's punishment will be ineffective.
Qi Qing's heart sank. Something was wrong.
The Demon Lord cannot be released, even if it means we both perish.
The young man closed his eyes and made a decision in a flash.
He pounced on it fiercely, holding it tightly in place, allowing the deathly chill to swallow them both.
“Master——!”
Before his vision fell into darkness again, he heard Yue Ji's voice suddenly rise.
…
Is he dead?
This was Qi Qing’s first thought.
But apparently, not yet.
Not only could he feel severe pain, he could also sense that the Demon Lord next to him was not completely dead either.
The frost is slowly receding. Even if the upper realm is as powerful as it is, the help is ultimately limited because of the natural chasm between them.
The effect of "Equally matched opponent" ended, and Qi Qing was too weak to move. He barely moved his index finger, and his whole body was in excruciating pain.
Under such circumstances, the Demon Lord slowly raised his hand, and it seemed that his injuries were lighter than his.
A cold hand grabbed Qi Qing's neck and began to tighten.
“How dare a mere mortal… defy fate?” The Demon Lord laughed hoarsely, “I will still be the winner in the end!”
Qi Qing soon couldn't breathe, his eyes and ears seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, and he couldn't even hear Yue Ji's urgent shouts.
Even so, he managed to grin and utter a few words from his throat: "It's not over yet."
Before he finished speaking, the young man flicked his finger and the blind box opened.
The biting cold returns in an instant!
The demon king subconsciously loosened his grip and used his internal energy to resist. Qi Qing had already taken this opportunity to push hard, desperately rolling towards the direction where Yue Ji's voice came from.
There was a heavy muffled sound, and a towering iceberg fell from the sky and smashed down on his head!
“Crack.”
This huge monster was ten thousand times heavier than the top of the temple. Like a punishment from heaven, it suppressed the Demon Lord and the ruined top of the temple into the abyss, and smashed a huge pit that stretched for dozens of miles on the spot.
The huge impact force shook the ground and shattered the surrounding buildings. Countless ruins and huge rocks rolled down, like an unusual rainstorm, burying the two of them with great fanfare.
When the last piece of gravel fell to the ground, everything was silent.
There was no sound beneath the ruins.
“Master!!”
The young man in black had no time to stop the collapse. His eyes were bloodshot and he tried his best to dig away the rubble, trying to hear the slightest voice belonging to Qi Qing.
No one responded.
Just before the black-clothed young man's eyes turned red and demonic energy began to surge around him.
With a "crash", the pile of rubble under his feet suddenly moved.
A pale hand emerged from the ground, followed by a weak complaint: "Pooh! Pooh! What a crappy blind box... cough cough, it almost cost me my life."
Yue Ji suddenly raised his head, almost crawled on his knees to the hand, and tightly grasped it: "Master——!"
"Screaming...screaming like I'm dead."
Qi Qing shook his hand weakly: "Hurry up, pull me out."
Thank God, he has nothing else but a tougher life than the Demon Lord.
At the same time, the system voice sounded.
[The abnormal status of multiple hosts has been resolved, and the mission objective has been completed. ]
[Warm reminder: Cross-border intervention has violated the laws of heaven, and the heavenly thunder judgment is about to fall. Please respond actively to avoid being judged and wiped out. ]
Qi Qing almost couldn't catch his breath.
——Come again?!
