Hearing Richard's challenge, a soldier walked behind Ling and said, "Are you willing to accept? If not, you can refuse."
This is also one of the privileges of holding a challenge in the official fighting coffin, the winner can avoid being besieged by the opponent's wheel battle. If the victor refuses, but the others still want to be strong, then according to official regulations, troops can be dispatched to interfere. Of course, the costs incurred need to be paid partly by the winner.
Zero shook his head, looked at Richard and said loudly, "It's a fool to have money and not make money, are you right?"
As soon as this statement came out, the audience was stunned. Then I don't know who scolded "lunatic", which happened to be heard by Richard. He was nicknamed Crazy, but he hated people mentioning it face to face, so he roared angrily: "Who was called Crazy just now, let me get out!"
His voice was like thunder, rolling through the audience, showing anger. Whoever dared to provoke him at this time when he was full, the guy who accidentally called out Richard's taboo had obediently shut up. But there was still someone who didn't have long eyes and muttered: "Aren't both of them lunatics?"
Now Richard understood clearly, it was a short man not far from him who was speaking. Richard sneered, and stretched out his hand to beckon. One of the members of Bleeding Blade trotted over carrying a metal box. There was a muffled sound when the box was placed on the ground. Looking at the sweaty head of that rather burly man, one can tell that the contents inside are not light.
Richard kicked the lid open, bent down and took out a pair of prismatic copper rods from inside. The surface of the stick body was very rough, covered with dark red blood stains, the end of the stick handle was inlaid with a ring, and a black chain connected the two copper sticks together. There is nothing special about these two long sticks, and there is nothing to recommend about the craftsmanship. The only advantage is that it is heavy enough, and looking at the blood stains on the stick, I don't know how many people's heads Richard knocked off with them.
In short, when the short man saw Richard's pair of copper rods, he couldn't help shrinking his head. Richard walked over, put one of the copper sticks on the man's head and said, "It turned out to be a mouse belonging to the old dog. Don't think I dare not touch you. I will not let the old dog go." In my eyes, but today I am in a good mood, and it is rare to find an opponent who can fight well, so I will spare you. But if your mouth is not clean, then I don't mind tearing your mouth open."
Fear flashed in the short man's eyes, but he still said, "Richard, I will tell Lord Wallace exactly what you just said!"
"Whatever, I don't care about a dog that only knows how to beg for mercy from the military." Richard didn't even look at him, and went straight to the ring below.
After this little episode, everyone's focus returned to the ring. The force field generator was stopping, removing the defensive light curtain to allow Richard to enter. Since Zero accepted Richard's challenge, the soldiers who were supposed to bring Zero back to prison in accordance with the regulations also retreated, waiting for the two to decide the winner.
But no one is optimistic about the Rafa played by Zero, because it is not ordinary people who challenge him, but the crazy Richard. Among the few strong men in this city, Richard may not be the strongest, but he is the most ruthless. He was so ruthless that he didn't even want his own life, so the other strong men were unwilling to provoke such an opponent. Although Richard is a little crazy, he also knows some invisible rules.
In order to avoid the interference of the military, several strong men are not allowed to fight without any reason, so Richard's itch is impatient. Now seeing Zero, the guy who beheaded Raymond with a single knife, he would not let it go easily. He didn't even hesitate to make a big bet just to fight Zero One. When Richard came to the stage, a special symbol quietly appeared in Zero's right eye, and genetic detection was activated, and an invisible wave swept across Richard's body.
As a senior, Richard can still feel that something is wrong. But he was obviously not good at perception, so he quickly ignored this matter. However, Zero has read most of his ability information. Richard's situation is a bit special. This man has developed very few high-level abilities, only a purely aggressive violent thump.
The rest are eighth-level strength, defense, agility, and an ability that Zero has never seen before.
madly slaughter!
By analyzing Richard's genetic code, the Mastermind defined the crazy killing as that within the time the ability was activated, Richard's defense and agility would be reduced by about 75%, but his strength would be increased by 20%. At first glance, the increase is not large, but as time goes by after Richard's ability is activated, the power of the increase will continue to increase, and within ten seconds after the end of the ability, it can be maximized to 180%!
This is an astonishing number.
Of course, crazy killing is also Richard's last killing move. The data given by the mastermind shows that every time this ability is activated, it will cause a certain degree of damage to Richard's gene chain. It can be said that the more times the ability is activated, if Richard cannot continue to evolve or consume evolution points to repair the damage of the gene chain, then one day, after activating this ability, he will die due to genetic collapse.
Even if it is a high level, it cannot reverse this result.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Richard pointed a stick at Ling Xiao and said, "Boy, you didn't want to make money just now, so you shouldn't be afraid?"
"Oh, I'm just thinking about how I can spend all your property." Zero responded with a smile, but what was shown on Rafael's face was a sneer of disdain.
Richard smiled instead of anger: "You don't have to think about it, because you don't want to get out of this ring tonight!"
At this time, the force field generator comes into play again. When the force field light curtain closes and disappears, the upper screen also shows a pattern of the restriction being lifted. Suddenly, Richard roared, and with his double sticks, he charged at Zero. Even without the powerful ability of crazy killing, Richard himself is an opponent with a fairly balanced basic attribute. Strength, defense, and agility have all been developed to the eighth level, which allows Richard to fight in most environments, and also makes him have no obvious weaknesses.
Crazy killing brought his combat power to a whole new level. In terms of strength alone, he touched the threshold of the ninth level. Although this ability will reduce his attributes in other aspects at the same time, don't forget that his basic attributes are already high. Even if it is reduced by 75%, it still retains nearly one third of its original attributes. In contrast, it was a great deal for Richard to sacrifice two-thirds of other attributes in exchange for the effect of increasing power attributes over time.
Zero estimated that if Richard used crazy killing, then his force would have to use the power of the ninth level to counter him. But in this way, his identity was fully exposed. After all, there are not many rank nines in the Western Continent.
Therefore, Zero must do what he has to do before Richard uses crazy killing. Or, try not to stimulate him to use this ability. But judging from Richard's attitude as a fighting maniac, if he can lift it up, I'm afraid he will unknowingly activate this ability, and then he will be in trouble.
In an instant, Zero had a plan.
At this moment, Richard hit his head with a stick, and the body of the stick was wrapped in a blood-red ripple. Before the stick arrived, the eighth level of power attached to it stirred the air like thunder.
Richard came aggressively, and Zero didn't give in. At the same time, he drew out his saber, and slashed towards Richard's chest with a murderous aura. If Richard didn't dodge it, even though he could hit his opponent, he would still suffer the damage. However, instead of avoiding it, Richard accelerated the knock, thinking to himself, this guy is indeed a lunatic.
The two moved faster than lightning. In the auditorium, people only saw Richard swinging his stick and Zero drawing his knife to slash. Then at the moment when the two intersected, Zero's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he came behind Richard. Richard stood still, and then spurted a thin line of blood from his chest!
In just one round, Richard was injured! In the eyes of others, this was completely unprecedented, and even Richard himself felt incredible. He even reached out and touched the thin wound on his chest, as if everything seemed so unreal.
"You probably never thought that you would really die one day, right?" Zero said suddenly.
Richard snorted and said, "I just never thought about it, you are as flexible as a monkey!"
Recalling the moment of the fight just now, when he saw that his copper rod was about to hit the opponent's head. However, this guy named Rafa used extremely nimble movements, took advantage of the posture of slashing forward, slid past his stick, and then dodged away after a successful blow, which caused the dramatic scene just now.
"Hey, hey, are you really only at the seventh level?" Richard turned around and tapped his shoulder lightly with a long stick.
Zero shrugged and said, "If it's the seventh step, you'll know if you try it."
"Don't be complacent, boy. I only need a minute to clean you up!" Amidst the loud shouts, Richard rushed forward for the second time.
The prismatic long stick danced wildly in his hand, and launched a round of violent offensive, which made the people in the audience shudder. This is Richard's signature attack. In many cases, he gives up avoiding the opponent's attack, and adopts the style of trading injury for injury and fighting for life. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called a madman. But the problem is that Richard's basic defense is as high as the eighth level. If someone slashes him, he may not be able to kill him, but he needs to be hit with a stick. Even if they are both at the eighth level, they still have to be seriously injured and vomit blood.
And under the effect of the same eighth-level agility, Richard's attack speed is not slow, and with the eighth-level power, when he goes crazy, he is like a violent storm, crushing the opponent fiercely from the front.
However, people soon discovered that under Richard's attack like a madman, although Zero didn't send out a stunning blow like before, the long knife in his hand was actually tight. Not only did Zero use the knife, but the scabbard was sometimes used as a shield for him. Not only that, Zero's shoulders, elbows, and knees became weapons. Sometimes Richard attacked with a few sticks wildly, and while defusing the odd knife and scabbard one by one, he did not forget to hit a few shoulders or knees.
It's just that these movements are fast and small. In addition, the eyesight of the audience is completely unable to keep up with this level of battle, so almost no one notices. Only Richard himself could understand that the man in front of him was much more difficult than he imagined.
He has amazing resilience. If it were someone else, he would have already shown signs of fatigue under such a stormy attack like himself. But this Rafael didn't change his face, and he was both offensive and defensive. On the surface, it seems that he is in the upper hand in the main attack, but in fact, this man has the strength to fight back. Richard knew he was waiting, waiting for his strength to fade. But the more this happened, the more excited Richard became, and even a smirk appeared on his face because of the excitement.
If others use this kind of violent attack, I am afraid that they will soon run out of stamina. But he still has a trump card. Crazy killing can fully stimulate the senses, making the crazy killing intent in his heart soar, coupled with the continuous increase in power during the time the ability is active. So as long as Richard is willing, he can fight more and more madly!
Just when Richard was considering whether to activate the big killer of crazy killing, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Hey, can you hear me?"
Richard suddenly slowed down.
"Don't stop, keep fighting."
Only then did Richard realize that the voice belonged to the man in front of him. He frowned, and responded in his mind: "I didn't realize that, you are still an ability user in the perception domain."
"I can't talk about it. It's just that in the early stages of growth, I evolved a low-level ability in the perception domain. This is the spiritual Hongqiao, you have heard of it."
Of course Richard has heard that the Spiritual Rainbow Bridge can build a channel of communication between two people, enabling the current spiritual dialogue to be realized. If the spiritual Hongqiao goes a step further, it will be a spiritual chain, which is the ability to realize multi-party communication and share perspectives.
"Damn it, can't you get out of my head? If this is the case, I can't concentrate."
"Oh, I see. You want to use this despicable method to disturb Lao Tzu's movements!"
Zero responded lightly in his mind: "It's not what you think, it's just that I want to make a deal with you."
"Deal? Stand there and let me hit two sticks, maybe I will hear what you want to say?" Richard grinned, the speed of the long stick in his hand increased instead of slowing down, and the shadows of the stick were densely packed, almost like A wall of iron and steel pressed towards zero like an iron wall.
Zero methodically parried, dismantling Richard's offensive one by one. This made Richard frown. To be honest, Zero's style of play was the biggest headache for him.
"If you really want to hit me with two sticks, I'll have to confess on the spot. What's the deal? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Although Zero said it bluntly, Richard was slightly happy when he heard it. At least this difficult man also admitted that he didn't dare to bear his double blow, which somewhat made Richard feel better, so he asked: "Tell me, what kind of deal do you want to negotiate with me. It depends on your unique negotiation form."
This is indeed a unique negotiation. Richard has stayed in Sin City for so many years and has participated in many negotiations for dividing up interests. But that was all on the negotiating table, and there was only one person like Zero who had time to negotiate with him when he was fighting life and death. Richard was also very curious about what this man wanted to talk to him about.
"Before the transaction, I want to ask you a question." Zero parried Richard's hammer and asked, "Do you still want to stay in this place?"
Richard was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Who wants to stay in this crappy place, but we can't leave here. Although I don't think the guards in the city defense can stop me, but after I leave, those bastards in the Pope's Hall will Issue the general order, and then we will be surrounded by the heads of the knights. Someone has escaped from here, but his body was brought back shortly after. This is an order issued by Sauron himself, in order to defend There are iron rules here!"
"So that's it." Zero's voice sounded in Richard's mind: "Then let me tell you, the situation is quite different now. I just came in from the outside. Right now, Sauron's situation is not very good."
"Really? But I also heard that not long ago, he just captured Cinderella, one of the four great pirates."
"Then do you know that the knight order is seriously damaged right now. Now there are only three of the twelve commanders left!"
"There is such a thing?" Richard was inexplicably shocked. Now there are only three of the twelve legion commanders left. If the Holy Seal Knights rampaging across the Western Continent are withered like this, the power to limit the city of sin will be obviously weak. much. He swiped a stick at Zero's ribs, and asked at the same time, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I'm going to the prison in Thebes to save an old friend, but if the military's attention is too focused on me, the situation is not good for me. So I hope that you can create some noise for me in the city at the same time."
"What a joke, why should I do this for you?"
"Don't you want to get out of here? I will also cause some trouble in the prison. In this way, the military's power cannot be concentrated in the city or the prison at the same time. This is good for us, I save people, and you You can be free, can't you?" Zero swept away Richard's stick, and at the same time, the tip of the knife slashed across his arm, leaving a wound that was not deep and not shallow.
"It's just that, I'm sorry, I'm not interested at all." Richard raised his sticks and pointed at Zero's chin.
Zero slipped back, evaded, and then sprinted again, bringing the red glow to Richard's waist with one knife: "Of course, I still have a bigger bargaining chip."
"Oh, what's that?"
"If you do what I say, then at least you won't die in this ring today."
Richard's eyes opened wide: "Your tone is too loud!"
"I'm just telling the truth. Cooperate with me, you will get life, freedom and the opportunity to continue to challenge the strong. Otherwise, you can stop here today!" Zero's eyes froze, his body leaned forward, and turned into pieces of afterimages Pulling closer to Richard.
An unprecedented sense of crisis emerged in Richard's heart.
Then, Richard watched as Zero slashed out the sword in his hand. But when the knife was swung out, it had already turned into a bolt of red lightning, with a fierce and violent aura, blasting towards Richard like a mountain. Richard drank loudly, his muscles all over his body swelled, and the bones all over his body were crackling. With all his strength, he used his double sticks to twist towards the startling lightning.
The double sticks were wrapped around the long knife, and the odd sticks were stuck together. Then the knife and stick exploded at the same time, and the two of them separated to both sides. Then there was a thunderous muffled sound, and then the energy of the two people's clashes overflowed, shaking all the force field generators to hum, and then sparks exploded one by one. However, the overflowing energy has already exceeded the load limit of the force field, and the force field generators around the arena simultaneously declared a short circuit.
Following the circle of invisible shock waves, the ring overflowed, and the audience who were closer were thrown backwards by the shock. At this time, Ajroni stood up and crossed her hands in front of Gordon. This strong woman was also drunk by the shock wave, but she finally blocked it. Looking at other people, they are not so lucky.
At this time, people looked towards the ring. Although Ling and Richard retreated and stood still, the next moment, Richard let out a muffled groan and sprayed a large cloud of blood from his chest. The man also swayed and fell to his knees.
