The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 473: Return to the old place and kill the old friend, you are the challenger (asking for monthly votes)
In the duel arena surrounded by huge rocks and the sound of war drums.

While Xu Shu was politely waiting for the enemy to emerge from the billowing smoke and dust, he glanced towards the honeycomb compartment where his teammates were located higher up.

Xie Xiaochan seemed to be shouting something to him, gesturing up and down, but unfortunately the distance was too far and Xu Shu couldn't hear her.

"Maybe you're apologizing to me? What's the point of saying that now? You might as well cheer me up."

Xu Shu shook his head speechlessly.

After stretching his arms and legs and warming up, he turned his gaze forward, towards the black-haired Sailor Moon who had finally appeared in front of him.

The woman was dressed in tight black clothes, had a ghostly aura, a beautiful face, and a long blade on her waist. She walked towards him step by step with a firm look in her eyes, full of murderous intent.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Xu Shu loosened his grip on the fist that was about to strike out.

He was surprised to find that he actually recognized the girl.

To be exact, they knew each other's sister.

Not long after Arthur died, he became a rare and powerful "wild spirit" wandering around the earth, devouring other monsters to strengthen himself. Later, he was found by a supernatural organization living behind the scenes of the world, and taken to the "Guixu" which they called the "Soul Realm".

In that era, a large group of powerful extraordinary people were vying to make Xu Shu their "guardian spirit", and a job fair of quite a sensation was even held at that time.

Among them, there was a young lady from a noble family who was very special. Her name was "Ruinous Wood with Nose-Bottom Eyes", but she was quite pretty.

Xu Shu had a close relationship with him, and they often studied and delved into art together at midnight.

The person in front of him was the youngest lady in his family.

The reason why Xu Shu had an impression of him was that one night he came to see his sister happily, barged in without knocking, and accidentally saw Arthur and her sister exposing their belly buttons and studying knowledge in secret under the wall, and finally ran away with a blushing face.

Legends are just the past. When we parted that day and meet again now, we are now two different people and ghosts.

The former "agent of death" has now become a real "dead" spirit that feeds on human flesh and blood. Thinking about it, it feels like a distant past, and I feel sad about the impermanence of the world.

but……

"If that's the case, then my guess was correct. Those huge white stone walls around here are indeed the ruins of the former Soul Society palace, Seireitei!"

"I don't know what happened here later, why it was broken to this extent?"

"Is it the invasion of the evil god during the catastrophe?"

"Could it be that this 'Cricket Fighting God' is one of the evil gods who participated in destroying the world?"

Xu Shu's eyes were bright and his thoughts were racing.

Unfortunately, this matter is too high a level for him now, and he is not qualified to speculate at all.

He decisively calmed his mind and gave up thinking.

Facing the sister (ghost) of an old friend, Xu Shu felt compassion. He sighed and recalled, but found that he still could not remember the other party's name. He persuaded the other party in a language that the other party could understand: "Sister with exposed navel, please surrender. We are old friends. I don't want to kill you."

"..."

The beautiful girl who was walking with a sword in her hand had an obviously frozen expression on her face. She actually stopped and looked at Xu Shu for a long time, as if she was thinking about what he meant.

Immediately, she moved her eyes downwards and landed on Xu Shu's waist. She pursed her lips, blushed, and said, "Um, your..."

"what?"

Xu Shu looked down and found that he was in a state of being a general on the battlefield with no chance of survival.

This……

Xu Shu was slightly stunned, and looked back at the honeycomb compartment, at a group of teammates who were staring at him, and at the "mermaid" who was tied up and sealed with talismans. Suddenly, he realized why Xie Xiaochan had been making gestures just now!

Depend on!
It turned out that when the mermaid was pulled into the conveyor belt by the tentacles of the "Cricket Fighting God", she didn't know what happened, but she was actually dropped, causing her own divination to be hung outside.

That’s why I always feel chilly!
It's just that just now, I was a little nervous, surprised that I was pulled into the competition instead of the biochemical mother, and I was also wary of the enemy, so I haven't reacted yet.

It seems that it was this big "referee" who did not allow me to bring foreign girls into the venue!
This is awkward!
Without the mermaid and the army of "worms", how should I deal with the "corpse spirits" that may appear!
Xu Shu's expression tensed up, then relaxed.

Because...the little jade Buddha is still there.

"Didn't he realize that the little jade Buddha was also a "foreign lady", and even a member of the foreign lady army?"

"It seems that he is not very strong..."

For a moment, Xu Shu touched the Jade Buddha head with relief, and quickly put on his pants in silence, saying, "Thank you for your reminder, sister..."

However, just as he lowered his head to pull up his trousers, something strange happened.

The black-haired girl suddenly disappeared and then appeared behind Xu Shu!

"Hehehe, you've been fooled! Die!"

She just laughed and drew her sword to chop Xu Shu's neck.

"Swastika - Blue Fire Dance!!!"

The black blade light and flames shot up into the sky and turned into a powerful stream of flames, like a nine-day thunder tribulation, all pouring into Xu Shu's neck and blasting him into a sky full of blood-red flowers!
After the attack was successful, the girl said to Xu Shu or to herself, "To underestimate the enemy on the battlefield is to give up your life, but I will thank you. You have added a tiny chip and contribution to my future escape from this purgatory ~ hehehe!"

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a sinister arc, and she opened her arms and laughed out loud, as if she was enjoying the deafening cheers around her.

However, the smile on the girl's face soon froze and slowly disappeared.

Because she found that she did not hear the whistle of "deciding victory" given by the terrifying existence in the sky.

Instead, the enemy's sticky plasma, which was chopped into pieces by his sword, was like a disgusting slime. Not only was it not burned to ashes by the "Cang Fire", but it rolled around on the ground actively, turning the originally black Cang Fire into a golden-red flame, and finally solidified together.

"Eh? What's going on?" The girl was stunned.

The next second, the blood on the ground formed a complete bundle.

——Yangshen·Blood Sky!

The enemy's sneak attack failed!
Xu Shu returned to his human form and looked down with a cold expression: "Humph, you shameless guy, it seems that I was just being sentimental! As expected, evil spirits are evil spirits. If that's the case, don't blame me for being merciless."

As he said that, he grabbed his sister who had exposed her belly button, and poured out his violent strength, all into her body.

The body was filled with powerful air waves, and the stomach, blood vessels, and skin seemed to be inflated and bulged high, with blue veins exposed.

"Ugh! Ahhhhh!" the girl was in so much pain that she turned pale with fear.

She kept twisting her body, turning several hundred degrees at a degree that completely violated human logic, trying to escape from him.

However, that pair of big hands was tighter than iron pliers. While they were tightening, a large amount of sticky spider silk emerged from the skin and wrapped around the girl's delicate body. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not get free.

Under the crushing force of terror, Xu Shu's sister could hold on for less than three seconds before her entire body exploded like a balloon, shattered into pieces with a bang, and burned to ashes in the raging "rage".

Ding ding~
Two tightly connected purple gems condensed on the ground.

One of them is level eighteen.

The other one is also level eighteen.

[Quack! Purple flawless! It's the peak of the second level! You killed a peak second level corpse general! ]

[Too strong, as expected of Xu Longxiang who is good at fighting above his level, your first move is beyond the imagination of this level! Even if the opponent is the sister of your old lover, you are merciless, there is no woman in your heart, and you draw your sword naturally like a god! ]

[Even the Lord of the Secret Realm in heaven praised you:
[“In the first qualifying round, the challenger will get 10 extra points! Let’s give flowers and applause to the winner! The second qualifying round will start in one minute, so challengers please take the time to rest!”]

Biubiubiu~
As loud whispers and whistles sounded from the top of the sky, huge, complete balls of light descended.

It landed on top of the tall torch stand not far behind Xu Shu, like a bet or a prize, lying there in plain sight, and it seemed to contain an unclear shadow, which was very eye-catching.

The "human figures" of the audience around the stands screamed louder and louder.

It was obvious that their movements were stiff and their behavior was dull; they were not living people, but under the pressure of the "gods", they dared not resist at all. They cheered hurriedly and threw the prepared fireworks, colored paper, etc. into the sky, creating a very warm atmosphere, as if this was really a competition venue watched by tens of thousands of people.

Xu Shu did not resist this. He just quietly dodged the fireworks that fell on him, and quietly picked up the "trophies" on the ground and put them into his storage bag.

"I was a little careless before. This Cricket Fighting God is not a good person either. Although he doesn't take the initiative to kill people, it is obvious that he enjoys the perverted pleasure of watching others fighting below."

"As expected, every one of these evil gods is an inhuman being. Don't really think that they are kind-hearted people..."

"But in this way, as long as I participate in the competition according to His rules and don't do anything out of line, I shouldn't anger Him... He might even just use some clone to handle this, while He Himself is doing something else~ Phew! Not a big problem!"

Thinking of this, Xu Shu took a deep breath, took out a small pill and put it into his mouth.

The rich aroma of the medicine melted in his mouth and filled his limbs, quickly relieving the non-existent muscle soreness and clearing out the toxins that had not yet reached his body - although he had just won a complete victory by bullying the weak, Xu Shu was now considered a wealthy man and had obtained a lot of pills from "killing people and robbing goods", so he started taking pills without any fear of wasting them.

"The champion of the first round has directly reached the peak of the second level. We can't be careless! There will definitely be more powerful enemies next time."

"By the way, Xie Xiaochan said that the boss Qilixiang corresponding to the demon sword 'Cunzhi' is in the sixth arena?"

"Someone has reached the fifth level before, but no one has made it to the sixth level yet. It seems that these so-called champions will also change."

"But then again, why do all the busybodies' information about this duel are about challenging Qilixiang?"

"Are the triggers they got all fragments of the demon sword Muramasa?"

Xu Shu was quite confused.

The one-minute break passed in a flash. Soon, the mumbling of the "Cricket Fighting God" sounded again like a loud speaker.

The translation of the Taichu Volume is: [“The second round of qualifying begins. Please welcome the second round champion! Wow, our challenger is very strong today. Can the second round champion hold on? Let us wait and see!”]

Xu Shu: “…”

What a psychopath, is this hairy god some kind of drama queen? He is directing and acting here, and his voice sounds like that of an annoying female ghost~
[You are silently complaining in your heart. It is not a good habit to say bad things about people behind their backs. I suggest that you call out loudly to the sky and say that you want to curse Him.] The Taichu Volume gives advice.

"That still doesn't work."

Xu Shu stood up without changing his expression.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the "human figures", another huge light carriage was transported from a honeycomb compartment in the distance along an invisible star track.

boom!
This section of cable car fell to the ground like a meteorite, leaving behind a rather exaggerated crater.

Xu Shu did not take the initiative to attack, but was on full alert.

Snap! Kwa!
After the carriage opened, a guy with a big light bulb on his head slowly crawled out from the bottom of the smoke-filled crater.

Its shape is difficult to see clearly. When it walks, it makes a strange rhythmic sound of "kongkongkong~zi~kongkongkongkong~" which gives people a weird feeling and is full of oppression.

"Wow, it feels really powerful. Is this to increase the intensity for me?"

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and immediately glanced at the Taichu Volume.

[There was not even a moment to mourn for the dead sister with exposed navel. The first person to rush to the battlefield was Ichiro Okamoto, who had just broken through from the peak of the second level not long ago. His strength was definitely not weaker than some veteran third-level players. Although he had never been connected with you, he had participated in hunting you down and mastered the mysterious tracking skills! ]

"Ok?"

Xu Shu responded by standing up suddenly.

name?

never heard of that.

strength?

The beginning of the third stage.

interesting!
To face an enemy like this, one must muster up 120% of one's fighting spirit and fight him fiercely!

Xu Shu didn't say anything and without waiting any longer, he dived down like a big bird.

Boom!
His speed was extremely fast, and he instantly dispersed a large amount of smoke, allowing the muscular brother who was over three meters tall and had a strong back to appear in his sight.

"Ok?"

The sturdy man was standing on a strange skateboard, and the "kong kong kong" sound was made by it.

Seeing Xu Shu suddenly appear and interrupt his atmosphere, he fixed his eyes and said with a very samurai spirit: "Haha, you are really smart! You must have seen through the invisible ability of my skateboard shoes, so you came here to interrupt? In this case, I won't hide it. I used to be a member of the Gotei 13..."

"Alright, that's enough, no need to say more!"

Without waiting for the sturdy man to finish speaking, Xu Shu attacked with lightning speed.

Seeing Xu Shu circling the crater and getting closer and closer to him, the sturdy man almost laughed out loud. He raised his arms to protect himself and said:

"Haha, you thought I was an assassin, so I chose to attack in close combat? Maybe I'll disappoint you! You don't seem to know that I have gone through decades of hard training, and my body is so strong that even the mountain of that year - bang!"

With a huge explosion, the strong man's self-introduction came to an abrupt end.

After running for more than a few kilometers like "Gonggong Touching the Mountain", Xu Shu came up and gave him a powerful Iron Mountain Backbone!
Under the terrifying force, the strong man's eyes first showed a trace of surprise, and then his entire face and body were completely deformed.

The next moment, extremely violent winds swept through the crater, forcibly expanding the crater's diameter from 10 meters to 100 meters.

"He's quite strong, but he's just an idiot. Who taught you to pose on the battlefield? Not as good as a girl with exposed belly button. But if he also goes to the second level to fight against the opponent, he can be called brave. He is really an exciting and powerful enemy."

Xu Shu walked out of the pit with emotion, holding three clear and transparent purple erosion crystals in his hand: 18+18+1.

The second champion died.

However, Xu Shu did not become careless because of the success of two consecutive battles.

He knows that the powerful ones are yet to come!
As expected, with the almost formulaic applause, fireworks, and salutes celebrating his successful challenge to the second stage, the third person to arrive at the battlefield turned out to be a master in the middle stage of the third realm.

This was a female ninja whom Xu Shu had seen before but had never had any emotional exchange with. She was wearing a white tight suit, had billowy green hair and black eyes, and three sexy vertical teardrop moles on her face. She looked like someone who was often bullied.

Her weapon is a strange blue trident, which she wields with great ease and freedom.

Unfortunately, although she was quite strong and had a high fighting spirit, she was still much weaker than Xu Shu.

Especially after Xu Shu had an idea and moved the battlefield from the ground to the bottom of the crater, a corner that no one could see, he immediately took advantage of the home court. The battle became one-sided and the female ninja was no match for him at all.

After twenty rounds of fighting, the female ninja yelled and used her special skill "Strangle him, White Snake Princess", turning her weapon into a huge white snake, which tightly wrapped around Xu Shu's head, trying to strangle him.

Unfortunately, in the end, the female ninja was defeated miserably and was beheaded.

Xu Shu obtained three erosion crystals, of the same purple quality, and the third crystal already had 12 strands.

"This is not going to be good. I'm already in the middle of the third level after only the third level! What should I do next? If I want to challenge Qilixiang, I have to fight to the fifth level!"

Xu Shu's face was solemn as he rubbed the three wet crystals on his body.

But there is a saying that goes, high risk, high reward, these "champions" who can take the field, although there are currently no evil spirits with suffixes of entries, are surprisingly all of flawless quality.

Apart from anything else, this is a considerable income!
Xu Shu didn't have much time to worry, as he soon faced the fourth challenge of the day.

The appearance of this enemy gave him a slight surprise.

The other party was actually the guide who had captured the wandering Arthur and Christina and brought them to the soul world.

"You are here too?" Xu Shu said in a deep voice, looking at the man with white hair, white eyes and afro covered in frost.

"you know me?"

The frost man was no longer as lively as before, but became as gloomy as water.

"We know each other, but you are no match for me. You might as well surrender and save your life." Xu Shu nodded and deliberately lied to him because he was not so sure.

The frost man was silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "In order to have a chance of survival, I have to fight. Although I don't know who you are, since you have entered this door, you are my enemy! Come on, today we will see who is better, and whether we live or die."

"Frosty sky - open!" The man raised his sword high, and cold air enveloped the surrounding area, almost freezing the entire battlefield.

"Then come on!"

Seeing that there was no way to reconcile, Xu Shu didn't waste any words. His whole body burst into golden light, and he elbowed forward like a crab.

The man and the ghost fought with real fire, and the battle reached the edge of the duel arena. There were exploding dust and stones everywhere, and the surrounding white stone walls were almost ground into pieces.

Half an hour later...

“Late third stage, not weak! Have a pleasant journey. In fact, if you are willing to reconcile and surrender to me, you don’t have to die.” Xu Shu shook his body and shattered the ice with “Killing Intention into Burning”, while burning the opponent into ashes to send him off.

"Wherever there are people, there is the world of martial arts. Wherever there is the world of martial arts, there are grudges and revenge. I can't escape, and neither can you!" The frosty man had no regrets. He closed his eyes and turned into ashes.

As the "Corpse King", he was quite graceful. After his death, he did not even choose to use the "Corpse King Scar" to retaliate against Xu Shu. Instead, he accepted the defeat and died peacefully.

"It's a pity that we don't have a close relationship, but you are a man!"

Xu Shu put away the crystal of 18+18+16, and lay directly on the ground. He took a lot of drugs and did sit-ups to recover quickly from his injuries.

He actually won this time by luck, fortunately his "Burning Killing Intention" restrained the enemy, otherwise he would have been more seriously injured.

The fifth round!

According to this situation, the next opponent would be a peak level three expert. Xu Shu became more and more alert. He was not very sure about the next battle and also had some guesses.

Who is it?
Judging from the previous situation, I'm afraid that these champions are basically the former "Death Agents" in Soul Society.

As for the masters at the peak of the third level, Xu Shu felt that he probably knew most of them...

Could it be Jing Xiaohua?
It would be fine for others, but if it was her, it would be a bit awkward. After all, they were too familiar with each other and had been together for more than ten years...

However, since he appeared in the ruins, he probably had a reason to fight, just like Brother Frost.

If the other party is going to kill me, I certainly can't just sit there and wait for death. I can only bear the pain and bury my former best friend~ Or she can have a suffix and be taken away by me...

Xu Shu had a heart of stone and waited silently.

A moment later, a huge cable car descended again.

Wow~
Amid the falling cherry blossoms, the champion of the fifth ring appeared silently.

"Fortunately it wasn't Jing Xiaohua." This was Xu Shu's first thought.

He immediately sighed, because this was also a mature woman with whom he had a good relationship.

A mature woman in mourning clothes and a white silk ponytail looked over with a world-weary look in her eyes.
