The video takes stock of the heavens, starting with the Fire Dragon King Natsu!

A gleam of light flashed in Hisoka's eyes, his footsteps stopped, and his body suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, Hisoka appeared behind the middle guardian.

The guard in the middle felt a chill behind him, his body stiffened, and he turned back hurriedly, but it was too late. A white sword light was flying towards his head.

The middle guard wanted to dodge, but how could he be as fast as Hisoka?

The sword light flew past his cheek, and a strand of hair was cut off from the forehead of the middle guard. Bright red blood flowed down the wound.

Hisoka didn't give the middle guardian a chance to breathe. He lightly stepped on the ground with his toes and his body disappeared in an instant.

Hisoka reappeared, the sword in his hand stopping at the middle guardian's chest.

"I told you, you can't beat me." Hisoka shook his head and hesitated to take action.

The middle watcher didn't reply, but just closed his eyes.

Hisoka's wrist shook slightly, and the sword was pulled out, leaving a deep scar on the chest of the middle guardian, with blood oozing out.

"I told you, you're not strong enough." Hisoka said calmly, and walked closer to the middle guardian.

"I know you can control the outcome. You won't die from this sword. Let's end it quickly." Hisoka said in a low voice.

The middle guardian still didn't say anything, but just placed his right hand on Hisoka's chest, and then suddenly disappeared in front of Hisoka.

After the middle guardian disappeared, the only remaining guardian appeared.

"You little...trialist, please follow the path behind me. Lord Broadrock is waiting for you." After saying this, the last trialist also disappeared.

Hisoka looked in the direction he pointed. There seemed to be no light on that road, but it was the only road he was sure to take.

So, Hisoka ran towards that road, firstly for his own competition, and secondly because of the promise he made with the Guardian.

After Hisoka left, the Central Guardian returned to the trial site. He looked at Hisoka's departing back, thinking about something.

Then he raised his sword and stabbed himself.

He had killed too many trial-takers, and he knew very well where the human heart was. This sword pierced his own heart directly.

The sword landed next to the wound inflicted by Hisoka, but he, the middle guardian, fell.

……

After walking for about half an hour, Hisoka finally saw a bright light.

"Finally out?" Hisoka breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.

A huge altar stood on the top of a huge mountain, and Broadrock was standing on the altar looking down at him.

"You finally showed up." Xi Suo asked. In his heart, Broadrock was not worthy of respect, and could not even be called a friend.

"It's you, Hisoka, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Broadrock said slowly.

"How many people have you hurt in all the competitions I've been competing with? How many more people do you want to hurt before you stop?" Hisoka asked coldly.

"You are wrong. I didn't hurt anyone. I only hurt you, your body and your soul. I only wanted to attack these two things." Brodrock was playing with the offerings on the altar.

Chapter 787 If you follow the rules of the game...

"Don't they have any meaning to you? Is it true that in this game, everything is just for your so-called luck?" Seeing Broadrock's disdainful expression, Hisoka became even angrier, and he yelled at Broadrock.

"Game? Do you still think this is just a game, Hisoka?" Broadrock's indifferent voice sounded, as if a sharp sword pierced into Hisoka's heart, disturbing his heart.

"If you really can't understand my intention of this competition between us, then perhaps it is just a game to you." Broadrock looked at Hisoka and said earnestly.

"Huh, what on earth are you talking about!" Hisoka laughed in anger.

"You can escape from the dangers of the swamp, and you can harm the inherent laws of the vines for your own sake, but you have to be more compassionate when it comes to humans," Broadrock said lightly.

"So?" Hisoka growled.

"So, you are a rule breaker yourself, so how can you blame me?" Broadrock replied.

Xi Suo said nothing.

"Am I wrong?" Broadrock demanded.

"So, if I had followed the rules of this game from the beginning, none of these things would have happened later?" Hisoka asked back.

"Of course, if you follow the rules of the game, you won't avoid that swamp and you will come directly to me. Those guys in the Bone Forest won't appear, and the two guardians won't die." Broadrock said lightly.

"Dead? Two guardians?!" Hisoka was stunned. He didn't know whether what Broadrock said was true or not. He did kill the left guardian, but he obviously did not kill the middle guardian. The sword he swung clearly landed a few inches away from the middle guardian's heart.

"Is what you said true?"

Hisoka felt some pain in his chest and a feeling of suffocation.

"Yes, one of my two lovely guardians died at your hands, and the other died at his own hands. However, it was all because of you." Broadrock looked at Xi Suo and said, "Our time is limited. Although I hope to end the trial as soon as possible, you still don't understand the meaning of this competition... oh no, the meaning of the game."

"You mean, if I don't understand, we have to continue the competition?" Hisoka frowned.

"Yeah." Broadrock nodded slightly.

"You mean, I only lost in this competition and never won?" asked Hisoka.

"You are a smart man, you should understand what I mean!" Broadrock said with a smile, "You just don't see yourself clearly."

"I don't see myself clearly?" Hisoka asked doubtfully.

"What is the meaning of life to you? Or, what is the meaning of your existence?" Brodrock said slowly.

"The meaning of my existence... is to protect my family, friends and important people." Hisoka said seriously.

"Yes, this is the meaning of your existence, it is the most precious thing to you, so what do these dead things have to do with you?" Broadrock looked at Hisoka.

"But what I have to do now is not to protect all of this."

"It is my nature to avoid danger and cherish life. I will not be shaken by his identity. I choose to fight because I must win!"

Chapter 788: Make the final choice

"If this doesn't count as an explanation, then aren't your many choices a disguised admission that you have given up the rules and are still losing in your choices?" Although he was asking Hisoka a question, Broadrock spoke very calmly.

"Even if it's a choice, this is my choice!" Hisoka said unwillingly.

"Yes!" Broadrock said, waving his arms violently. Countless black threads appeared in the air in front of him. These threads were like poisonous snakes, staying around Broadrock.

"One last question, do you hate me?" Broadrock asked with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Hate!" Hisoka said firmly.

"Then our competition has reached the final stage."

"What choice do you want me to make?" Hisoka asked cautiously.

"You are very smart." Broadrock paused and said, "The last choice is one of the two."

"Options." Hisoka said coldly.

"First option, since you hate me, pierce me with these black threads. I will die and you will lose this trial."

"What about the other one?" Hisoka asked after hearing the question.

"As for the second option, nothing will happen. You can't vent your resentment on me, and you can't fulfill your promise to the Guardian. But, you will win this competition." Broadrock smiled even more strangely, as if he was looking forward to Hisoka's answer.

After hearing these two choices, Hisoka pondered for a long time.

He was very hesitant. Between these two options, he really didn't know how to choose.

On one side was the agreement between himself and Ram, and he said he would win every competition.

On the other hand, he made a promise to the guardians, saying that he would give them a reasonable explanation.

This just corresponds to the two options given by Broadrock. He cannot have both, which means he must give up one of them.

"What? Have you thought it through?" Broadrock urged.

"No, I haven't thought about it yet. I don't know what to choose." Hisoka said distressedly.

"It's just a simple choice. You are a smart man. Don't let me down." Broadrock threatened

Hisoka took a deep breath and stared at Broadrock opposite him. He thought for a long time and finally chose the second option.

"Have you made a decision so quickly?" Broadrock looked at Hisoka in surprise, seeming a little disappointed.

"Yes, I want to win this competition." Hisoka said firmly.

Hearing what Hisoka said, Broadrock was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: “Hahahahahahahaha…”

As the laughter died down, Broadrock looked at Hisoka and said, "I'm glad that you made this decision. Your choice proves that you are a very principled person. As you wish, I will let you win the competition." Broadrock responded, and he emphasized the word "very principled" and strengthened his tone.

This sentence was already irritating to Hisoka, and even if Broadrock didn't emphasize these four words he would still feel uncomfortable.

Between agreement and promise, he chose the former.

Between Ram and the Watcher, he chose the former.

Although he was very reluctant, he knew that in some ways he did need to abide by this rule.

"You'd better pray that we won't meet again." said Xi Suo.

Chapter 789: Hisoka in Confusion

Hisoka's tone was icy cold, as if it was a piece of ten thousand year old ice.

Broadrock didn't say anything, but looked at the stone behind him, then waved his hand, and the two returned to the competition site.

"You won, congratulations." After saying that, Broadrock disappeared from the competition venue.

"Hehe, I won. Did I really win?" Xi Suo muttered for a long time before slowly walking towards the door.

When he walked out of the door, the whole square was boiling. Everyone stood up and shouted, "Congratulations Hisoka, congratulations to you!"

"Congratulations, Hisoka!" Ram also ran over and hugged Hisoka.

"Yeah." Hisoka said with a smile, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Hisoka won, everyone told him that he won, but he himself didn't think so.

His promise to the Watchers was not fulfilled, and he abandoned their promise for his own victory.

Hisoka recalled what had happened in the competition just now and fell into deeper sadness. He couldn't describe what he was thinking at the moment, and he didn't even know what he should do.

Amidst the cheers, Hisoka and Ram left the square and walked towards the audience seats.

Ram noticed that Hisoka was not in the right mood, and after some hesitation, she decided to ask Hisoka, "Hisoka, what happened to you?"

Hisoka didn't say anything. He didn't know how to tell Ram what happened in the competition. He was even more afraid that Ram would be disappointed in him because of this.

"Xi Suo." Ram grabbed Xi Suo's arm and said anxiously: "I know what happened to you just now. Maybe you can't tell me, but I hope you can tell me so that I can find a way for you."

"Nothing happened!" Hisoka said with a forced smile.

Seeing that Xi Suo was unwilling to speak, Ram stopped asking and just held Xi Suo's arm tightly, as if he wanted to keep him in his palm forever. This was a kind of protection.

"If the group of demons makes it difficult for you, it's okay not to join," Ram comforted.

Hearing this, Hisoka shook his head: "Ram, thank you for your understanding, I'm fine, I was just thinking about something, I will solve this matter as soon as possible, it won't delay the game."

"That's good. I believe you." Ram laughed. "No need to wait here. Today's competition is over. Let's go back."

"Yeah." Hisoka stood up and walked towards his own lounge, followed closely by Ram.

Hisoka returned to his lounge and found the Demon King already waiting inside.

"You're back. You performed well today, little Hisoka." The Demon King praised with a smile.

"Yes." Xi Suo said respectfully.

"Little Hisoka, your strength is getting stronger and stronger. I don't dare to challenge you easily." The Demon King said jokingly.

Hisoka didn't know how to answer, he just listened quietly.

"There are only two trials left tomorrow. If we win, we can wait for the semi-finals." Ram said.

"Yes, our plan is almost successful." The Demon King nodded, with joy on his face.

Xi Suo glanced at the demon king and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything that can't be said directly? We are all friends, what do we need to hide?"

Xi Suo thought for a long time but still didn't speak. It wasn't because he didn't trust them. The two people in front of him were people he could trust, but he didn't know how to start.
