Chapter 520 A fierce battle begins!

The rolling and towering icebergs are connected one after another like two bright silver crystal crowns. With the ice castle in the center as the center, they spread along the edge of the island in the east-west direction.

Until they encountered a long and wide river in the central area, but on the opposite side of the river was a charred black lava zone with streaks of fire. Further back, one could clearly see volcanoes erupting with rolling magma.

The icy cold wind and the high temperature heat wave are like two armies that are unwilling to give in to each other. They are constantly clashing together, forming a raging wind on the river.

Looking at the entire island from above, you can clearly see the passage of the island, only the piers behind the castle at both ends.

If you want to go in and out from other directions, you have to face the extreme cold on the iceberg or the lava on the volcano. Even if you follow the river in both directions, you will encounter strong winds and waves.

The strange thing is that the surroundings of the three large stone bridges connecting the two areas are unexpectedly calm.

Six tall metal turrets are like silent giants, located on both sides of the river at the forefront of the three main roads, the upper, middle and lower roads, lined up in a row and silently facing each other across the bridge.

Among the snow-covered woods and dry woods on both sides, every tall or twisted tree is like a soldier waiting for danger.

They are always ready.

Be prepared to assist your own warriors or block dangerous attacks.

Every corner and every detail in this place does not show that it is newly built, but is filled with an everlasting epic atmosphere.

Ice and Fire Island.

It is destined to become a major iconic feature of the Starfish World. At the same time, as the ‘Combat Power Competition’ is held one after another, it will definitely become a stage that the strong men from all over the world yearn for.

"Hiss—it's so cold. It's colder here than I thought. Fortunately, I made warm-up preparations in advance."

In the howling cold wind, Yuzhuang Tianyuan hugged his chest with both hands, and sighed happily while following Guiwu Tsuji Muzan and others into the door of the Ice Castle.

Tiantori Mima nodded, looking at the snowflakes falling from the dark clouds, he also felt a strong cold.

"Indeed, but looking at the previous games, five winter coats have been prepared. You just have to be careful. If it is damaged in the battle, there will be no way to repair it."

What's interesting is that the two people clearly had a dispute over putting out fires in the previous auditions, but now they are communicating as if nothing happened, and they are communicating very naturally.

Because in the end, they don't really have any deep hatred.

At that time, Mima Tiantori just didn't want Yanhuo to hinder her from qualifying, and Yuzhuang Tianyuan was just looking for trouble and didn't want a beautiful woman to die in front of him.

As for holding grudges, I can only say that neither of them is the type who is narrow-minded and easy to get carried away. Now they have become partners who need cooperation.

Only a fool would care about everything at this time and not understand the priority of things.

"Levi, aren't you cold?"

Yu Zhuan Tianyuan turned to look at Levi Ackerman, who was walking at the back. In the past few days, the five of them had become familiar with each other. They had a certain understanding of each other's identities, where they came from, and how they fought. understanding.

"not cold."

Levi looked at the environment inside the castle expressionlessly, and replied casually.

"Hehehe, don't lie. You don't have any special abilities or physique. How can you not be cold~"

Yuzhuang Tianyuan teased, exhaling wisps of white mist from his mouth, and then looked with envy at Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan and Morgan William who were leading the way up the ice stairs.

Their destination is the top fifth floor where resource boxes and phone bugs are placed.

"William, can't you release some steam to warm us up?"

"Yes, but the gain outweighs the loss."

William explained gently as he walked up.

"First of all, I need to conserve my strength as much as possible now. Secondly, even if I keep you guys warm for a while, you will still have to face this freezing temperature when we separate later, so you might as well get used to it early."

"All right."

After hearing this, Yuzhuang Tianyuan knew that what he said made sense, so he stopped insisting. At this time, he heard the ghost dance Tsuji Mukai at the front remind him with his neutral voice that made it difficult to distinguish between men and women.

"We need to speed up, the other party has already started dividing the contents of the box."

Tianniaomeima, Yuzhuan and Tianyuan looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they all silently accelerated the pace of climbing the stairs.

Oniwu Tsuji Mukai is their tentative captain.

Not only because he is the strongest, but also because of his ability to stare at fruits.

The far sight and perspective with a radius of four thousand kilometers, combined with the communication of the phone bug, can be said to be a very reliable center, fully capable of controlling the entire field and commanding the entire team.

This made them feel even more miraculous about the Devil Fruit's abilities, and also made Amata Mima determined to apply for natural Devil Fruits after becoming the 'Top 100'.

soon.

The five people quickly reached the top floor and did not need to communicate too much. They first walked over and took away their phone bugs.

Then he opened all the iron boxes and took out some food, fresh water, medicine and a map of Ice and Fire Island.

Among them, Yuzhuang Tianyuan, Tiantori Mima and Levi also took out a winter coat that would not affect their movements but had a good thermal insulation effect.

Oniwu Tsuji Muzan and Morgan William are not needed at all.

The latter is a 'steam man', while the former controls his body temperature to make himself unafraid of the cold. His current body is now like a sweltering furnace.

Kibutsuji Muzan saw that they were ready, and then said: "Okay, let's act according to our previous plan, Yuzhu Tianyuan, pay attention to answer the phone."

"good!"

Yu Zhuan Tianyuan suppressed some of the awkwardness in his heart and kept a calm mind as he answered the other party.

It wasn't like nothing happened to them on the cruise these past few days.

Onibatsuji Mumei deliberately found his room one night and told him exactly what he had said to Purgatory Anjuro and Immortal Kawa Saneya before.

At that time, it can be said that I was shocked to the extreme by Onibatsuji Muzan's bold idea.

He actually wanted everyone including the Lord Ubuyashiki, as well as the subsequent 'Demon Slayers' who came to Haixing to serve him as the leader and form a so-called 'Demon Slayer Group'.

Muzan can help every 'Demon Slayer' strengthen their body's total cell volume, and can also teach them to return life in advance, and these are just the initial benefits.

In the future, as long as he obtains high-level resources with the help of his higher status in the world government, he can share them as appropriate to enhance their strength as much as possible.

The purpose is for all 'Demon Slayers' to use this power to gain a firm foothold in the World Government and Haixing, and at the same time be prepared to compete with other world forces.

To be honest, Yu Zhuan Tianyuan's rationality told him that this was a plan that would benefit him and all the 'demon slayers' without any harm.

Except it's a bit difficult to accept psychologically.

No matter what, Demon Dance Tsuji Muzan was the person they had vowed to kill before. Which member of the Demon Slayer Squad didn't have a deep hatred for "ghosts"?

But the problem is that Wu Kai is no longer a 'ghost', and with his current position within the World Government, we are not allowed to continue to take action against him.

In trouble, he had no choice but to take out his phone and call the Lord of Ubuyashiki who was far away in Wano Island. Unexpectedly, the latter had already heard about the incident from Inferno Kyōjuro.

The Lord Ubuyashiki's answer was to let him deal with the "Combat Power Competition" with peace of mind first. After the end, he would invite Muzan Demonbutsuji and the "Hashira" of the original Demon Slayer Team to gather at his manor.

In this case, Utsuo Tengen would habitually leave this matter to Ubuyashiki Yōya for decision.

[Swish, swish, swish]

The next moment, except for Yu Zhuan Tianyuan, the other four people said nothing, turned into afterimages and jumped out of the windows of the Ice Castle at extremely fast speeds, and then headed towards the top, middle, bottom and east roads. Lin scattered.

Through the monitoring phone bugs placed in every corner and the overhead shots from the airship, the countless viewers watching the live broadcast in the four worlds can clearly see their branching situation.

Among them, Kibutsuji Muzan is the main road in the middle lane, Morgan William is the main road in the top lane, and Amata Mima is the main lane in the bottom lane.

The last Levi Ackerman has begun to use the enhanced three-dimensional maneuvering device on his waist to speed through the trees covered with snow.

Only Yu Zhuan Tianyuan just jumped down from the window on the fifth floor of the castle and walked slowly towards the middle road.

As soon as he stood under the second turret, the phone bug in his trouser pocket started calling. As soon as he picked it up and answered the call, he saw that it imitated the appearance and tone of Muzan Kibutsuji.

At the same time, William, Mima, and Levi all held telephones and listened silently.

"The opponent has not made any special position changes. It is the most common 'five-man front line'. On the top lane is the 'bounty hunter' Jean Ange. Be careful of his 'sniper'."

"Also, although the manual does not say that he can be domineering, it does not mean that he will not be able to do so. Don't forget that he comes from the latter half of the Grand Line where domineering is most common."

Listening to Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan's gentle instructions, William smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

However, he was not as relaxed as he seemed on the surface. After all, how terrifying a potentially domineering 'sniper' was, Jesus Bu of Team No. 5 had already demonstrated it vividly before.

certainly.

If the opponent is not domineering, then his elementalization will be invincible and very easy.

"Well, the opponent's bottom lane is the octopus fish-human named Xiaoba. I believe you have read the relevant information, Mima, so I won't say more. In short, if you can beat him, fight him. If you can't beat him, you should prioritize your own safety. "

"give it to me."

Amata Mima has arrived near the second turret in the bottom lane. He smiled slightly at the phone bug in his hand. His handsome and noble face attracted many young female spectators.

"Then Levi, your opponent is the lion-fur tribe called Sicilian."

"Is it really him?"

Levi arrived near the central river and stopped behind a leafy tree trunk, carefully observing the movement ahead.

There wasn't much information about fur people in that manual though.

It's just that this Sicilian showed outstanding swordsmanship, very agile skills, and super adaptability to the jungle environment in the previous auditions.

But just in the past few days, Amata Mima, who had spent some time at the army headquarters before, had already shared the special abilities of the fur tribe.

Because Levi is also the best at jungle combat, he had long expected that he would encounter the opponent. After all, both sides were "jungle" players no matter how they looked at it.

"To put it bluntly, he is a humanoid lion who can use electric current to enhance his physical strength and can also use a sword."

Levi Ackerman complained secretly in his heart.

When he was in the 'Giant World', he had many titles such as 'Dwarf Giant', 'Humanity's Strongest Soldier', 'One man's combat effectiveness is equivalent to a 400-man brigade', etc.

And now, he will face a master of another race in another world, which makes his sharp, narrowed eyes reveal a look of expectation.

"Tian Yuan, the ability user named Dorofei is already heading towards the second turret on the road from the underground, intercept him!"

When Yuzhuang Tianyuan saw that it was his turn, Oniwu Tsuji Muzan used an almost commanding tone, and the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously. It was obvious that this guy already regarded him as a subordinate.

But the current situation was not suitable for entangled in such matters, so I could only sigh secretly in my heart, and then responded with "I understand."

Then, without saying a word, he violently knocked away the snowflakes in the air, and along with the howling cold wind, turned into a black afterimage and ran up the road at an alarming speed.

"So your opponent in the middle is the swordsman named 'Goethe'. According to the introduction in the manual, he not only mastered the two-color domination, he is also a real swordsman. He should be the strongest among the five opponents. You have to be careful. ”

Morgan William looked at the first turret on the road that was close at hand and chuckled.

The reason why he wants to describe it as 'real swordsman'.

Because he already knew that these "Pillars" of the Demon Slayer Corps, although they could wield the sword style like Haixing's swordsman, their swordsmanship had not reached the level of "Steel Cutting", and the range of the sword style was actually not that high. Not big.

"It doesn't matter, I won't die anyway."

Kibutsuji Muzan looked at the knife-wielding figure on the other side of the stone bridge, and his tone of reply seemed very nonchalant.

Ever since he knew that killing was not allowed in this 'rematch' and that he still had the ability to protect the contestants in a timely manner, he became less cautious.

And on the way here, he had already hidden a piece of flesh and blood the size of a fist in the ice castle that did not allow attacks. Even if something happens later and he is killed by the opponent without any bones left, he can still transfer his consciousness there. Come and be reborn in flesh and blood.

So, he really has nothing to fear!

Wu Kuan even suspected that the reason why the World Government temporarily added a rule prohibiting killing was to protect itself from danger.

After all, you are so important now!

at the same time.

Uzuki Tengen, who is currently the jounin of Kai Ninja Village, has already walked through the snowy woods on the road and came to the vicinity of the second turret, holding the black and gold Nichirin swords.

Immediately afterwards, he controlled his breath as much as possible, hid behind a tree trunk and scanned the surroundings, while turning his right ear to listen carefully to something.

"Where!"

Yuzhuang Tianyuan aimed at a certain spot in the snow twenty meters away and rushed out. He slashed downwards without hesitation with two special sun swords connected by an iron chain.

"The breath of sound, the shape of one, boom!"

The moment the golden blade pierced the snowy soil, there was a violent explosion accompanied by a loud noise, and large tracts of soil mixed with ice and snow splashed out.

At the same time, strong sound waves spread in the ground within a few dozen meters, and every inch of snow it affected shook violently and cracked.

This is Yu Zhuan Tianyuan’s true strength now!

The total amount of cells in his body has been strengthened to the average level of a Starfish person. After these few months of hard training, his strength has far exceeded that of himself during the 'Sound Pillar' period.

Coupled with the mastery of two-color domineering, he is now enough to serve as a colonel or brigadier general even if he is placed in the army headquarters.

"Yeah, yeah, how did you find me? You are a pig from another world! A pig from another world!"

First, a short and fat figure jumped out of the swaying snow, and then the angry woman yelled and cursed.

Hearing such discriminatory words, Yu Zhuan Tianyuan frowned, anger grew in his heart, and he became rude.

"I originally thought that the Starfish people were all tall or unusually tall. No matter how tall they were, they would have a basic height of 1.78 meters. I didn't expect that there would be a 'short winter melon' like you!"

It turned out that the woman opposite her, with her fingers growing black and long, appeared to be a middle-aged woman with a height of less than 1.6 meters, a fat body, and a head of dark-red fluffy hair.

"What did you say!"

Her name is Dorofei, she comes from a kingdom in the first half of the Grand Line, and she is also a user with the ability of the animal weasel fruit.

According to the original plan, she used the weasel's powerful burrowing ability to avoid everyone on the opponent's side underground, and then 'pulled out' the turret at the rear.

But now, as soon as she approached the first target, she was discovered and forced out, which made her feel extremely bad at this time.

Now she heard that the other party, a bitch from another world, dared to ridicule herself, which ignited her already violent temper, and her whole body suddenly burst into anger.

In an instant.

Dorofe's mouth kept firing, and all kinds of obscene words spewed out. The most common word among them was 'pig', as if she and pigs were incompatible with each other.

"It's so noisy, you fat bitch!"

Yu Zhuan Tianyuan originally thought that he had a pretty good temper, but today his eyes were opened to find someone could curse so harshly, and curse so fast, and speak clearly.

He gathered strength between his feet and legs, exploded, and rushed in front of the opponent in the blink of an eye. The golden and black sun blade in his hand flashed with a deadly edge, and he shot extremely quickly. The air with the wind and snow flying in front of him made a sharp sound of breaking through the air. .

Although the rules prohibit killing, this 'sound column' clearly had murderous intentions.

Moreover, he was also curious about whether the whirlwind that could protect the contestants in time would be able to save the opponent from his super-fast knife.

"ah!"

Dorofei saw that this damn alien was so aggressive, and the speed he showed was obviously much stronger than her own.

This made her shrink back underground without saying a word as fast as a turtle shrinking its head.

Wielding the flying squirrel's black claws, which were nearly twenty centimeters long, with all their strength, the frozen soil that should have been extremely hard was dug up easily like meat in front of them.

"Look at my 'Earth Dragon Escape Technique. Earth Dragon Fish'!"

Dorofei's behavior of running away without fighting was originally a tactic they had discussed, that is, she did not need to fight with others, she only needed to find ways to 'steal the tower'.

Her ability to act from underground actually restrains her general domineering attitude to a certain extent.

Because seeing and hearing color haqi is to perceive the location, number and movement of targets outside the line of sight through the strong feeling of "sound", but the ground layer blocks the transmission of "sound" to a certain extent.

Therefore, for ordinary Haki, as long as the opponent does not take the initiative to show up, it is difficult to locate such a target deep underground.

It is worth mentioning that.

Ordinary seeing and hearing Haki cannot sense the invisible person.

It is based on the fact that Moria was rescued in front of Doflamingo in the 'original work', and that Quinn, one of the three disasters of the Beast Pirates, was unable to find Sanji after he was invisible, and was rescued by him. Help.

but

"You can't run away, I am your natural enemy, you ugly fat woman!"

Yuzhuang Tianyuan chased after him with a cold face, and his position was very accurate, almost moving at high speed towards Dorophe.

This is because his knowledge and color domineering is special.

Due to his extraordinary talent in hearing, as early as when he was a "sound column", he could already listen to and distinguish various sounds in much more detail than ordinary people.

And when this 'extraordinary hearing' became one with the awakening of the Haki of the Seeing Color, it became able to hear all sounds within the range of the Haki of the Seeing Color, and it also became more sensitive to vibrations.

So when he said that he was the opponent's natural enemy, it was indeed a cold fact.

at the same time.

Just when Yu Zhuan Tianyuan began to pursue with all his strength.

Morgan William, Muzan Kibutsuji, Levi Ackerman, and Amata Mima have also started fierce battles with their opponents.
