Early in the morning, the roads leading to the Hero Arena were crowded. The square was also crowded with people, waiting to watch the live broadcast on the large screen built by Blue Moon People. Those who had money to buy tickets entered the arena and watched the decisive battle between Xia Lei and Yi Zixi with their own eyes.
In a room, Nightingale was combing Xia Lei's hair and braiding his hair. Xia Lei in the mirror is handsome and handsome.
Shenyue Ruyi was also in the room, holding a rag to wipe the blood on the Storm Hammer. She didn't realize at all that she looked very feminine at the moment.
Nightingale braided Xia Lei's hair, then smiled and said, "Well, it looks really good."
Xia Lei felt heavy in his heart. Soon he would have to face Yi Zixi and kill someone he didn't want to kill.
Nightingale lightly patted Xia Lei on the shoulder, "Husband, that was his decision, not your fault."
Xia Lei sighed, "If I have a choice, I really don't want to do that."
Shenyue Ruyi said: "You have two weaknesses."
Nightingale interrupted Shenyue Ruyi's words, "What did you say? My husband is an unparalleled hero, omnipotent, he has no weaknesses!"
Shenyue Ruyi said calmly: "The first weakness is women. The second weakness is kindness."
The nightingale was speechless.
The evolutionary path that Xia Lei takes is not to abandon the body, nor to abandon the seven emotions and six desires. As his evolutionary realm improves, his seven emotions and six desires have not weakened, but are more sensitive and intense than ordinary people. That's why he had many women, that's why he was so sad and couldn't bear to kill Yi Zixi. As a former mortal enemy, Shenyue Ruyi was right, his weakness was really women and kindness.
Shenyue Ruyi said: "Do you need my help? I can hide in your hammer and kill Yi Zixi during the duel between you and Yi Zixi. In that case, you won't blame yourself so much, and you won't in the future either. What kind of psychological shadow is there?”
Xia Lei thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I'll do this myself. Death in my hands is the last step of his mission, and his wish is to die in my hands. If you take action , that is disrespect for him. Although we have only met once, I can see my own shadow in him, and I regard him as a confidant. Therefore, I cannot deceive him or let him down no matter what. If I kill him, he will get glory and make him feel that it is the real end of his life, then no matter how difficult and painful it is, I will do it myself."
His promise to Yi Zixi is a man's promise. Once a man makes a promise, he must fulfill it.
"Shenyue, Nightingale, when I appear, leave here, leave Doomsday City, and go to Suspended City." Xia Lei said.
"Why don't we go together?" Nightingale didn't want to leave.
Xia Lei said: "Yizixi said that Princess Yongye might have suspected him, so she took him away from the Invincible Gladiator Company. I can't predict what will happen after the decisive battle between me and Yizixi, so It’s safest for you to leave early.”
"Okay, let's go out of the city with my dear Shenyue, so be careful." Nightingale warned.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to Shenyue Ruyi, "Take good care of my wife."
Shenyue Ruyi was silent for a moment before she said, "I will take good care of her. No matter what happens,... you should be careful."
This is probably the first time she has said caring words. The more times she has been with Xia Lei, her condition is getting better and better. However, she seems to be affected by Xia Lei. Not only is her energy body changing, but also her energy body is changing. Even the mood is changing subtly.
Jialan Lingtian's voice came from outside the door, "Boss, it's time to show up."
"Here we come." Xia Lei turned around and walked towards the door.
Nightingale suddenly caught up and hugged Xia Lei's waist from behind.
Xia Lei stopped and felt the emotional message of reluctance conveyed from her body.
"I'll wait for you to come back. You must come back." Nightingale let go of Xia Lei.
Shenyue Ruyi suddenly moved over and gave Xia Lei a hug from the front, just for a moment and then let go without saying anything.
Xia Lei opened the door and walked out. He heard the sound coming from the house.
"You actually hugged my husband."
"He is not your husband alone."
“…”
The scene of lingering affection and sad parting suddenly disappeared.
Boom!
A drum sounded.
Xia Lei stood at the entrance of the passage, and cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami came from outside.
"Yi Zi Xi! Yi Zi Xi!"
"Champion of the Empire!"
"Champion of the world!"
Yi Zixi has already appeared.
Boom!
There was another drumbeat.
Xia Lei took a deep breath, walked into the passage with the Storm Hammer, and then walked along the passage. His steps seemed a little heavy, and the dim light that spilled from the arena into the passage pulled his figure down, shaking on the ground. It looked so lonely.
"Son of Darkness! Son of Darkness!"
"You are the world champion!"
"You are the gladiator of our nobles!"
It was also the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami.
Xia Lei walked out of the passage, and the dim light shone down from the sky, but it could not drive away the sadness and loneliness in his heart. Countless people were shouting his name, and the voices were excited and high-spirited. There are many women who opened their breasts for him and showed their proud chests for him. But none of this was real to him, and he didn't care at all.
All he cares about is Yi Zixi, who is standing opposite him, but he wants to kill him.
Yi Zixi looked at Xia Lei with a smile on her lips.
He smiled so calmly and calmly.
Xia Lei lowered his head slightly to pay tribute to Yi Zixi. He has killed many opponents in his life, but there has never been an opponent worthy of his such tribute. Although Yi Zixi is only an artificial human being, not even a real life, he is more worthy of respect than many real beings!
VIP audience area.
"What's going on? Yi Zixi never smiles at his opponents. Why did he smile this time?"
"I have never seen Yi Zixi smile before. Why is he smiling this time?"
"Compared to Yi Zixi's smile, the Son of Darkness is even stranger. He actually paid tribute to Yi Zixi!"
"Is this the so-called hero cherishing the hero?"
"It's a pity that only one of them can survive."
"Isn't this the charm of gladiatorial combat? No matter how amazing a person is, he will always fall down."
These discussions made Princess Yong Ye frown on the high platform. Her eyes were locked on the two people in the field, and a trace of doubt emerged in her heart.
What she sees is different from what others see.
Yi Zixi turned around and faced the direction of Princess Yongye, kneeling on one knee, "Your Highness Princess Yongye, I dedicate the glory of this battle to you, whether in life or in death."
Princess Yongye nodded slightly.
Xia Lei also turned to face the direction of Princess Yongye and knelt down on one knee, "Dear Princess Yongye, I dedicate the glory of this battle to you and all the brave spirits who have fallen here."
All the heroic spirits who died here are actually the ones he wants to dedicate his glory to, not Princess Yongye.
Princess Yongye said calmly: "Let's get started."
Just like all the gladiatorial battles that start and end here, no matter who lives or dies between the two people in the arena, whether it is Xia Lei or Yi Zixi, she will sit here, standing high and watching with cold eyes.
Yi Zixi stood up from the ground, holding swords in both hands.
Xia Lei also stood up from the ground, with the Storm Hammer hanging on the right side of his body.
"Fighting with you is the greatest honor of my life." Yi Zixi said.
"Fighting with you is also the greatest honor of my life." Xia Lei said.
"Then let's fight!" Yi Zixi suddenly rushed forward, leaving an afterimage behind him. The dark energy released from his body was like a pair of huge black wings, rushing towards Xia Lei with extremely fierce momentum. The long sword is in front, possessing the pressure to pierce the sky!
Approaching in an instant!
Xia Lei hit the sword of Yi Zixi's sword with a hammer.
boom-
The earth shook!
The energy shock wave was pushed out in all directions like a tsunami. Although there was an energy shield to absorb the shock wave, the entire Hero Arena actually trembled twice!
puff!
Yi Zixi's body flew backwards, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out from her mouth.
Xia Lei's body swayed and he stabbed Yi Zixi's chest with his right hand. The master slipped out and instantly plunged into Yi Zixi's chest.
The dark energy surging all over the sky disappeared.
Yi Zixi's body fell from the sky.
Xia Lei put his arm around his waist and led him back to the black sand.
The whole place was silent and completely silent.
This was the decisive battle between Xia Lei and Yi Zixi. It ended as soon as it started. No one expected this outcome.
"Ahem..." Yi Zixi's voice was very weak, "I didn't expect... you... are so strong, and I... actually arrogantly... asked you to attack with all your strength."
"I tried my best." Xia Lei said, his eyes moist.
Yi Zixi asked him to use his full strength, and he complied with his request.
"Thank you." Yi Zixi said.
"Thank you too." Xia Lei said.
A smile appeared on Yi Zixi's lips, and then she closed her eyes.
Two tears rolled down from Xia Lei's eyes. At this moment, he didn't care at all whether his tears for Yi Zixi would arouse Princess Yongye's suspicion.
If he wants to cry, he will cry!
"Son of Darkness! Son of Darkness!"
"Champion of the world!"
The audience in the arena finally came to their senses and burst into earth-shaking cheers and roars.
Xia Lei seemed not to hear the cheers and roars made for him. He gently laid Yi Zixi's body flat on the black sand. Then he placed the deformed long sword that Yi Zixi had dropped to the ground on his chest. Finally, he raised Yi Zixi's hands and placed them on the hilt of the sword.
Everyone looked at Xia Lei and watched him make these strange movements.
Princess Yongye stood up from the high platform and wanted to leap into the arena, but she failed to do so in the end.
All the audience fell silent again and looked at Xia Lei and Yi Zixi lying on the black sand in silence.
Xia Lei stood up, turned to face the direction of Princess Yongye, bowed slightly, and then walked towards the passage.
This is his last tribute to Princess Yongye, because Yi Zixi. After a victory, a gladiator needs to salute the nobleman with the highest status present. Only by turning himself into a real gladiator can he show the greatest respect to Yi Zixi.
Princess Yongye stared at Xia Lei's back. No one saw her. A smile appeared on her face under the black scarf, a very strange smile.
