Chapter 167 The Hanged Man and the Madman
Each world zone has a restricted altitude.
No one can fly above nine kilometers.
And beyond these nine kilometers, there are spaceships sailing in each world zone.
In a single room on one of the spaceships, Luo Xia's family: father Luo Hongguo, mother Gong Xinlan, second brother Luo Hua, eldest sister-in-law Xu Xin, second sister-in-law Zhen Nan, and two children Ping Ping and Xiao Hai, are all here.
In addition to Luo Xia's family, Xu Xin's brother Xu Gang also brought his family to the spaceship.
Xu Gang said, "This genius battle is not broadcast. If you want to watch the battle of the qualifiers, you have to come to this world zone to take a spaceship to overlook it, and the fee is too expensive."
Xu Xin next to him heard this and smiled, "Brother, it's normal that it's not broadcast. There are more than 8 billion people, how can it be broadcast?"
As he spoke, the spaceship started the outdoor scene simulation.
Luo Hongguo and others looked down and could see the bloody fights in the cities on the continent below.
This exterior simulation can also enlarge the image, so that people in the spacecraft can clearly see the appearance of those participants on the mainland.
Of course, if it is in a building, the exterior simulation of the spacecraft cannot be detected.
"Mom, Dad's ranking has been falling. But uncle, his ranking is slowly rising."
Xiao Hai, holding a screen, is checking the points ranking of his father and uncle.
He found that Luo Feng's ranking has been falling, but Luo Xia's ranking has been improving. Although the improvement is not fast, it is much better than Luo Feng.
Pingping said on the side: "Dad must be reserving his strength."
Xiao Hai glared at his brother and shouted: "There are so many people below. Except for uncle, who can be Dad's opponent? Do I still need to reserve my strength?"
"Hahaha..."
The child's words made the adults in the single room laugh.
Xu Gang squatted down with a smile and said: "Your father and uncle are really powerful. Come, Xiao Hai, sit on your uncle's lap."
"No." Xiao Hai shook his head and continued to look at the screen.
In his sight, Luo Feng's ranking was constantly declining, while Luo Xia's ranking was slowly rising next to him.
…
100 world zones were conducting preliminaries at the same time, and it was impossible to broadcast.
So countless people in the entire Ganwu Universe, from the top to ordinary citizens, spent a lot of money to take a spaceship to watch the battle from above these 100 world zones.
In the sky above the 61st world zone, in a gorgeous spaceship, a group of young men and women were holding wine glasses, eating delicious food, and watching the world below through outdoor simulation.
I only heard a burly man in a luxurious robe laughing: "Hahaha, Luo Tuer, your Pengyu Empire has a good performance. Among the top 100 players, there is actually one from your empire."
"Thank you for the compliment, His Royal Highness."
A man with a braid and a strange jade stone inlaid on his forehead responded with a smile.
The prince looked at Luo Tuer and said with a smile:
"The Pengyu Empire has always been one of the vassal states under our Ganwu Universe, with the most powerful people."
After a slight pause, the prince in a gorgeous robe asked with a smile: "By the way, Luo Tuer, I heard... your empire is going to make you the first heir to the throne?"
The person next to him heard this and echoed: "I heard it too, Luo Tuer, you become the emperor of the Pengyu Empire, don't forget us."
Luo Tuer said with a smile: "It's all rumors, it hasn't been decided yet. And no matter what, we can't compare with the prince!"
He looked at the burly man and continued: "The prince is the only son of Ding Tianhou, and he will definitely inherit the title of Ding Tianhou in the future. The territory of Ding Tianhou is ten times larger than the area of our Pengyu Empire!"
The prince smiled with joy at these words.
The so-called "Ding Tianhou" is a powerful marquis of the Ganwu Universe.
Every strong man who can become a marquis has at least immortal strength!
After listening to Luo Tuer's flattery, His Royal Highness took the wine glass and looked at Brolin, who was silent, and asked: "Brolin, why don't I see the players from your Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"
Others looked at Brolin and said:
"Yes, Brolin, where are the players from your Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"
"Last time, it seems that no one from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire entered the top 10,000, right?"
"Well, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has performed poorly in recent sessions.♦♦ ඏ☆"
Luo Tuer also looked at Brolin and said with a smile, "Now many masters are not in a hurry to make a move. Maybe after a while, a master will emerge from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Am I right, Brolin?"
Brolin knew that these people were laughing at him. He forced a smile and said, "The competition has just started, and everything is hard to say."
He said so, but he felt embarrassed in his heart.
In the universe, this sense of regional honor and imperial honor is very strong.
Especially in this situation.
If a super strong person appears in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the entire empire will feel proud, and other star regions will also look at it with new eyes.
At this time, because no player from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire entered the top 100, Brolin was laughed at by the people around him, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind.
That guy named Rorschach... wasn't he recognized by the origin law?
He is from my Black Dragon Mountain Empire, right?
If he participates in the competition, he should be able to see his name on the ranking list soon, right?
Thinking of this, Brolin suddenly had some expectations in his heart.
But when he thought that Rorschach had been offended by him, he felt as if he had eaten shit, and his expression was uncomfortable.
For a moment, he didn't know if he wanted to see Rorschach's name on the ranking list...
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw the change in Brolin's expression, and he thought about it and asked: "Brolin, don't you really have any masters in your Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"
"Really or not? Has the Black Dragon Mountain Empire really trained some masters?"
The others looked towards Brolin in surprise.
Brolin glanced at His Royal Highness, then glanced at the others. When he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he said, "Your Highness, you will know it soon."
Although Luo Xia's existence made him, the ninth prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, uncomfortable.
But it cannot be denied that Rorschach's talent is extremely high!
When he was in the realm within the realm, he was recognized by the original law and could do things that many realm masters could not do.
If he competes, his ranking will never be low.
"The question we should be worried about now is whether that guy will break through to the cosmic level in less than three years."
Brolin was a little worried.
If that Rorschach breaks through to the cosmic level.
But I can’t participate in this selection...
…
World Area 23.
The roof of the building, which glowed with metallic luster, was covered with various corpses. It was roughly estimated that there were thousands of corpses.
At first glance, the visual impact is very great. The whole building looks like a "big tree" covered with corpses!
On the top of this "big tree" of corpses, sat a young man wearing black armor. He looked at his "masterpiece" with a calm smile, looking like a murderer and a pervert!
"On the tenth day, the bait can no longer attract fish..."
Rorschach saw that no one dared to approach him within a hundred miles, and whispered secretly. Then he looked towards the arm guard and saw a virtual projection emerging, which recorded Rorschach's points and rankings.
Participant: Luo Xia (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 12701
Rank: 70125
Ten days passed, and Rorschach used the corpse of the genius he killed as a provocation, attracting thousands of players to come to trouble him.
The points of these players are not very high.
The highest is just over a thousand points.
More powerful experts would not dare to trouble Rorschach easily when they saw the corpses hanging on the building.
After all, if he doesn't have enough points, if he is killed by Rorschach, he may not be able to advance.
These players will choose to avoid Rorschach.
Only some players would come to trouble him if they felt that Rorschach's approach was too ostentatious and arrogant, and that he could kill so many people and had high points. If they could kill him, his points and rankings would skyrocket.
As a result, all the people who came to see Rorschach ended up hanging on the building by him.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people dared to come to Luo Xia.
In this steel city, many people know that in Beicheng District, there is a very scary contestant. Many geniuses at the fifth and sixth level in the field are no match for him. The corpses of talented players who come to find trouble are all covered up. He hung from the top of the building.
Rorschach was also called the "Corpse Hanger" because of this bizarre practice.
The strong wind howled, and the hanging corpse was blown around like a leaf.
The whole scene looked extremely scary and weird.
Luo Xia stood up and looked into the distance, "Ten days have passed. Since I can't catch any more fish, I should go out. Otherwise, if there is too little time, it will be a little troublesome to win the first place..."
The words dissipated with the wind, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
After a while, he came to a narrow street.
On this street, there was a tall man with two horns pulling out his giant ax from a corpse. The cold-gleaming ax blade was dripping with blood.
The man with two horns noticed Rorschach's arrival, his eyes were cold, and he tilted his head, "The man who hangs the corpse?"
He looked at Rorschach, and suddenly an excited smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I've heard of your name! Corpse Hanger! In this steel city, you may be among the top ten masters!"
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, "I still wanted to find you! I didn't expect you to come to my door... Then, I will accept half of your points! Go to hell!"
The two-horned man didn't wait for Rorschach to respond, and rushed out with the giant ax in hand!
His body is extremely tall, more than six meters tall, and his body is extremely strong and strong. The muscles wrapped in dark red armor are as sharp and angular as mountains. When he charges, it is like a battleship rushing into the battlefield, with a terrifying momentum. !
Although the man with two horns is tall and strong, he is extremely flexible when moving!
He has understood a little bit of the original law of fire.
At this moment, he charged towards Luo Xia, his whole body was filled with scorching heat, and the cold ax blade was condensed with a layer of frightening red flames.
"Have you understood the slightest trace of the original law of fire..."
Rorschach sensed the power of the two-horned man, and faced his charge, his expression was calm and unhurried.
It was as if what was rushing towards him was not a master who had understood the power of the law, but just a child playing around with a giant axe.
"Do you know what the spring wind is like?"
Rorschach looked at his sword and murmured softly, as if he was asking the two-horned man, or himself.
"It's gentle, warm..."
He answered himself, taking a step forward as if taking a walk... This step, as if teleporting, actually went straight through the body of the two-horned man and came behind him.
The two-horned man suddenly stopped, and he felt a warm and gentle wind blowing through his body. This wind was obviously not strong at all, but it blew out the fire on his body and suppressed the power of the law of fire.
The two-horned man lowered his head slightly, and the next moment, his head fell off his neck uncontrollably.
In the last flip of his vision, he saw Rorschach with his back to him, slowly putting away his long sword...
...
In the spaceship above the 001st world area.
Luo Hai, who was watching the rankings of Luo Xia and Luo Feng, suddenly shouted, "Grandpa! Grandma! Look! Uncle's ranking has suddenly jumped from more than 70,000 to more than 6,000! It's rising so fast!"
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan looked at them in surprise, "Why is it rising so fast?"
Xu Xin thought for a while and said, "Maybe Xiao Xia has started to exert her strength?"
Luo Ping shouted at this time, "Mom, look! Dad's ranking has also started to rise. He just rushed to 120,000 and now it has reached more than 60,000! Dad is so awesome!"
Luo Hai also saw Luo Feng's ranking at this time and shouted excitedly, "Dad's ranking is still rising. It's almost 30,000. Wow, he has rushed into 10,000!"
Luo Hua, who was standing behind Luo Hai, saw at this time that Luo Xia's ranking suddenly jumped from more than 6,000 to more than 2,000!
He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "It seems that Big Brother and Xiao Xia have started to exert their strength."
...
And in the 1st World Zone and the 23rd World Zone.
Neither Luo Feng nor Luo Xia stopped their killing steps.
Let’s not talk about Luo Xia for the two brothers—he’s invincible anyway.
Let’s talk about Luo Feng first.
Now Luo Feng, with the help of Luo Xia, is much stronger than in the original book.
He has already entered the threshold of the Golden Law. In this preliminaries, except for those real top masters, no one can resist his offensive. He can often defeat his opponents in a few rounds!
Because Luo Feng kills people and doesn’t let anyone go.
This cruel madman-like fighting makes him called a "madman".
Luo Feng doesn’t care what he is called. He just keeps looking for opponents and keeps killing.
Finally, after killing someone again, his ranking soared to 997th!
At the same time, in the 23rd world area, Luo Xia also killed a master with a sword and gained a lot of points.
With that person’s unbelievable eyes, Luo Xia’s points ranking jumped to 98th place.
…
In the 61st world area, on the gorgeous spaceship.
A group of princes, princes, and princesses from various star regions of the Ganwu Universe were chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, an imperial prince shouted loudly: "Look! Brolin, two people from your Black Dragon Mountain Empire have made it into the top 1001!"
"Huh?" Brolin heard this and hurriedly looked at the screen of the spaceship.
I saw a number appear on the screen belonging to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
[The number of Black Dragon Mountain Empire's pre-selection places (temporary): 2]
This number was 0 before.
But now it suddenly became "2".
Brolin was overjoyed and said quickly: "Open it quickly!"
Beep!
Next to the huge screen, a small screen immediately appeared, with some information on it——
World Zone 1-997th: Luo Feng (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
World Zone 23-98th: Luo Xia (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
"What!? One 997th, one 98th?"
The other princes and princesses were surprised to see this ranking, especially Luo Xia's 98th, which made them stare wide-eyed.
Brolin looked at the familiar name with a very complicated look on his face, "That guy really participated in the competition and got such a high ranking..."
Ding Tianhou's only son looked at Brolin and said in surprise: "Brolin, it seems that your Black Dragon Mountain Empire has really cultivated masters, and not just one, but two. After being at the bottom for several sessions, is your Black Dragon Mountain Empire going to rise this time?"
Brolin forced a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince praised."
At the same time, many cosmic countries, divine kingdoms, and countless organizations noticed Luo Xia and Luo Feng.
In particular, Luo Xia's name was put in front of many immortals and big figures.
However... the ones who were really excited were the citizens and the emperor and nobles of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!
Because the Black Dragon Mountain Empire did not achieve good results in the previous genius battles, it was very shameful among the many vassal states of the Ganwu Universe.
But now, Luo Feng and Luo Xia suddenly appeared.
One won the excellent ranking of 997, and the other ranked 98th!
This is like a pie in the sky... No, not a pie in the sky, but a Manchu Han Banquet!
The citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were all excited.
In a luxurious and vast hall, the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was taking the nobles of the empire and the emperors of various vassal states to pay attention to the selection of the genius battle.
Suddenly, they all saw the information that appeared on the screen placed in the center of the hall!
When they saw that Luo Xia's ranking reached 98th and Luo Feng's ranking reached 997th, these powerful figures were excited.
One by one, they congratulate the Emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on the throne.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I am so happy!"
The emperor, who was wearing dark black imperial robes, laughed loudly, "Luo Feng and Luo Xia, very good! At least our Black Dragon Mountain Empire is not at the bottom this time, and looking at Luo Xia's momentum, we can go further!"
He looked at the names of Luo Xia and Luo Feng with burning eyes and said, "I want to reward them! Reward them big!"
Others echoed.
"Yes, I want a reward!"
"Both Luo Xia and Luo Feng have made great contributions! Especially this Luo Xia! He is so proud of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone was flattering the emperor.
At this time, a bald old man with strange four ears said: "Your Majesty, it is still early for the preliminaries to end. When it is over, we will know how far Luo Feng and Luo Xia can go."
As soon as these words came out, the excited people slowly calmed down.
And the old man dared to say such disappointing things to the emperor at this time. Obviously, his status was very unusual.
The emperor on the throne bowed his head slightly, did not dare to show his face to the old man, and said:
"This Luo Xia's ranking should be stable. As long as he doesn't die, he shouldn't fall out of the top 1001. This Luo Feng, on the other hand, is a bit uncertain, but no matter what, they have made great achievements. Even if Luo Feng fails, I will reward him he!"
…
Luo Xia and Luo Feng, who were participating in the war in the World Zone, naturally didn't know that people from the outside world were paying attention to them because of their rankings.
At this time, they are still fighting to gain points for themselves and improve their rankings.
World No. 23.
Rorschach walked slowly on the streets of the city. When the contestants saw him from a distance, they all ran away like frightened deer.
"It's the corpse-hanger!"
"Run!"
Now Rorschach's name has spread in this city.
With the combat power he has displayed, many people believe that he may be the most powerful being in the city.
All contestants don't want to meet Rorschach at all until they have enough points.
Because no one can defeat him.
Even before there was a super genius who claimed to be the most powerful in the city and had crossed the threshold of the law of origin of fire, he was hung up on a building by him after meeting Rorschach!
As the contestants fled, damp water vapor suddenly appeared on the road where Rorschach was.
Rorschach stopped, stood still, and looked forward.
I saw an extremely tall figure slowly walking out of the suddenly mist.
This man is more than six meters tall, wearing dark blue armor. On the exposed parts, you can see fine scales. The scales are like his skin, fine and thick. As he breathes, traces of water vapor come from It spread out from under the scales.
This man with scales held a golden trident in his hand, looked down at Rorschach, and said in a dull voice:
"Human Hanger, they say you are the strongest in this city. And I, the Demon Scale, happen to be the strongest in the city I was in before. I have killed many high-ranking geniuses. Now, I want to take it away. Half of your points.”
He sounded confident as if he was telling the truth.
Luo Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the extremely tall Demon Scales, and asked softly: "What is your points ranking?"
when!
Demon Lin paused the golden trident in his hand on the ground, made a dent in the thick metal ground, and said calmly: "Number 24, if I kill you, I should be able to rank in the top ten."
When Luo Xia heard this, he grinned with murderous intent, "Oh, me too..."
The next second, he suddenly disappeared.
Mo Lin's eyes widened, so fast!
Uh-huh!
The wind slashed away with a sharp sword light.
Demon Scale used water vapor to sense this subtle fluctuation. Without thinking, he raised his trident to block it!
Originally, according to Mo Lin's expectation, his trident could definitely block Rorschach's sword. However, when he raised the trident, he felt that Rorschach, who had cut off the blade, disappeared again.
The long sword that would have cut down also disappeared from the front of the trident.
"Little tricks!"
Demon Lin snorted coldly and swirled the trident. The power of the law of water lingered on the trident, driving the water vapor around it. In an instant, thick water mist enveloped the area within a hundred miles.
At the same time, the figure of Demon Scale disappeared into the mist.
Rorschach, who had lost his target, showed his body.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the thick fog surrounding him. This mist could actually block his telekinesis, which was a bit interesting...
