Chapter 2302: The Contest Ends

The black flame arrow pierced the air, leaving behind waves of air, and instantly struck in front of Su Xiao, about to pierce his head.

*Boom! *

Gravel flew under Su Xiao's feet. His speed had recovered.

'It's here! The speed is too outrageous!'

Just as this thought appeared in Xiu Ge's mind, Su Xiao appeared in front of him, the long blade in his hand slashing at Xiu Ge's neck as if breaking through space.

Regarding this slashing position, to be honest, Xiu Ge was a bit used to it. This opponent of his either slashed the neck or the head. The mildest attack position was stabbing the heart.

*Clang! *

The crisp sound of metal clashing was exceptionally ear-piercing. Xiu Ge held the hilt with both hands and pushed forward with all his might.

Located behind Xiu Ge, the five-meter-tall black flame giant drew its bow and shot an arrow. The black flame arrow headed straight for Su Xiao's chest.

The moment the arrow flew over, Su Xiao raised his hand to block. Seeing this scene, Xiu Ge was somewhat incredulous. The enemy seemed to be... despising him.

*Crack~*

Su Xiao's left forearm shattered, crystal fragments splattered, the Black King Armguard flew up, and its durability slid down by a large margin.

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't use his flesh and blood to withstand the black flame arrow. He had experienced how troublesome these black flames were not once or twice.

Su Xiao's crystal forearm gathered, and the Banished merged into it.

'Blade Dao Blade · Time.'

The impact spread, Xiu Ge slowed down, and the second black flame arrow flying from behind him also slowed down.

'Blade Dao Blade · Absolute Nether.'

The world before Xiu Ge's eyes suddenly became pitch black. In his eyes, there were only three slash marks left, the slash marks striking head-on.

Fresh blood splattered on Xiu Ge's chest and neck, and he flew backward uncontrollably.

'Blade Dao Blade · Blue Ghost.'

The blue blade ray headed straight for Xiu Ge's head. With no other choice, he could only raise his right arm, intending to use the black flame sword to block.

*Squish. *

An arm holding the black flame sword flew out, and Xiu Ge fell with a *thump*.

Just as Xiu Ge landed, Su Xiao slammed down from above, the long blade in his hand slashing down.

*Ding~*

Stone dust splattered. Xiu Ge dodged with a lazy donkey roll. The mountain body penetrated by Zhan Long Shan quickly showed large cracks.

'Blade Dao Blade · Blood Blade'

Su Xiao vanished from where he stood, sweeping a blood line in mid-air.

Blood-colored feathers drifted in mid-air. In fact, this was a condensation of blade rays and blood energy. At the moment Su Xiao rushed out at super high speed, it played a protective role. After completing this mission, this crystalline body shattered. Because of the nature of the blood energy, it looked like blood-colored feathers when it dissipated. In fact, this was a type of crystalline body.

Slash marks appeared on Xiu Ge's face. His lone arm stretched forward and swung downward.

*Boom! *

A black flame arrow pierced through Su Xiao's lower abdomen, stabbing into the ground behind him, pinning him to the ground in a standing posture.

'Soul Flame · Heavenly Chant.'

Cracks appeared on the black flame arrow that pierced Su Xiao. Looking at the momentum, it was about to explode.

Su Xiao smashed the hilt in his hand onto the black flame arrow. The black flame arrow shattered with a *crack*, contracted, and formed a black ball the size of a dragon's eye, fixed in the wound on his abdomen.

'Soul Sound · Dancing Puppet...'

"Ouch~"

Xiu Ge's move was interrupted because Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang bit him on the head. This made Xiu Ge very confused. He didn't sense any soul aura approaching.

Just as Xiu Ge was about to drive Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang away, Su Xiao had already pounced head-on, red light flickering in his eyes.

'Soul Knight · Five Guards.'

A wisp of black flame appeared in front of Su Xiao. The volume of this black flame surged, and a warhorse covered in armor appeared, with a black-armored knight on its back. Its body was translucent, clearly having no substance, only in soul form.

'Soul Knight · Trample.'

'Soul Giant · Dragon Hunting Arrow.'

The knight riding the warhorse pulled the reins, the soul warhorse raised its front hooves, and the war hooves stepped down.

*Thump~*

An impact spread. Su Xiao, who had already pounced in front of Xiu Ge, saw darkness before his eyes. Fortunately, it recovered in the next moment.

A sound of breaking air came from above. Su Xiao tried his best to lean his body backward. A giant black flame arrow nearly four meters long stabbed into the rock in front of his feet, and the rock exploded with a *crackling* sound.

Although Xiu Ge had been slashed to death by Su Xiao earlier, the subsequent series of reactions demonstrated his combat experience and combat IQ.

What was somewhat funny was that because the pressure Su Xiao gave Xiu Ge was too great, Xiu Ge had no time to pay attention to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang biting his head, and could only let Xiang Bubu keep biting.

Xiu Ge was very helpless, while Xiang Bubu had a dog face of distress. The enemy didn't pay attention to it at all. It was also very desperate.

Xiu Ge's lone arm swung into the void, driving Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang away. With a dog hanging on his head, his pressure was not small. His hairstyle at this moment was very unique; after all, it was chewed by a dog.

"If we keep fighting like this, I will be slashed into six pieces by you. Bai Ye, can you imagine one thing?"

Xiu Ge wiped the blood on his chin. The soul knight stood beside him, and the black flame giant stood behind him, making Xiu Ge look full of aura.

"Can you imagine, the previous Law-Breakers... just how strong they were? I was fortunate enough to obtain this treasure in a certain ruin, the weapon of a previous Law-Breaker."

Xiu Ge waved his hand, and a black flame fire ring emerged. Inside the fire ring, a blade tip slowly appeared. Just a blade tip appeared, but the sharpness and pressure shrouded the surroundings.

"Ah!"

Xiu Ge was clearly in great pain. The black flame giant behind him wrapped him inside, and the fully drawn strong bow aimed at Su Xiao, lest Su Xiao take the opportunity to charge over. The soul knight also covered him from the side.

Sensing Xiu Ge's aura, Su Xiao turned and retreated. Something was about to appear, something he absolutely could not deal with.

Xiu Ge was clearly holding back a big move. What was the wisest choice at this time? Open a big move to fight hard? Fight Xiu Ge to the death? Of course not. The wisest choice now was to run immediately and jump off this mountain.

The blood vessels on Xiu Ge's face bulged. When he discovered Su Xiao turned and fled, he was almost choked by anger.

"You, you bastard."

Xiu Ge immediately interrupted the ability. This was one of the few times in his life he had cursed. He had just been slashed into anger, otherwise he wouldn't have used his current ability. He was prepared to rely on a blade of a previous Law-Breaker to materialize a soul-form previous Law-Breaker.

Only magic could defeat magic. Right now, Xiu Ge was fighting a Law-Breaker, so he let a Law-Breaker deal with a Law-Breaker. This was the royal way.

The black flame fire ring dissipated, and the long blade that had appeared for a small half vanished. 'Soul-imitating' a soul-form Law-Breaker was too difficult. Originally, Xiu Ge thought it could be done in 1 to 2 seconds, but after actual operation, he found it simply impossible.

Xiu Ge's feet went soft, and he almost knelt directly on the ground. Just as he had given up on 'soul-imitating' a soul-form Law-Breaker, a figure stood beside him.

The cold wind blew past, messy long black hair was blown up, and the tattered clothes fluttered.

"Hand it over."

The person who came spoke in a flat tone, those eyes were extremely cold, that was the chill of disregarding all living things.

Xiu Ge's body trembled, and he turned his head somewhat stiffly to look at the person who came.

"Hand it over,"

"Okay."

Xiu Ge slowly raised his arm. Although he didn't know why the Blade Demon would appear here, he knew one thing: if the other party made a move, he would immediately, right away, instantly die on the spot.

*Click, click, click... *

Tree roots coiled, wrapping the Blade Demon inside, spatial fluctuations emerged, and the Blade Demon vanished.

Just as the Blade Demon vanished, Xiu Ge decided in his heart that he would never try to 'soul-imitate' a soul-form Law-Breaker again. This time, he hadn't even succeeded in 'soul-imitating' before he attracted the Blade Demon. If he had succeeded, heaven knew what would have happened.

A hundred meters away, Su Xiao took out a Soul Crystal (Large) from his storage space. Although he didn't know if eating this thing could alleviate soul pain, it was worth a try.

With a *crack*, Su Xiao bit off a piece of the Soul Crystal as if biting an apple.

Seeing this scene, Xiu Ge rubbed his eyes, seemingly confirming whether what was in Su Xiao's hand was a Soul Stone.

After confirming that what was in Su Xiao's hand was a Soul Stone, Xiu Ge silently took out the Medal of the Overlord. He accepted second place. He didn't want to fight to the death with an enemy who could eat Soul Stones.

"The Void should just be destroyed quickly. What kind of people are these? The elusive Blade Demon, the Law-Breaker who eats Soul Stones, sigh~"

After leaving this sentence, the Medal of the Overlord in Xiu Ge's hand slowly vanished. He was shrouded in spatial power and obtained second place.

The Medal of the Overlord had three functions:

1. When 3 people are promoted in the fifth round, this thing can be immediately handed over to the Void Tree, and then the corresponding ranking is obtained based on the number of remaining people.

2. When the five days end, if there are still multiple participants who haven't decided the winner, the first, second, and last places are decided based on the number of Medals of the Overlord held. If among the top three participants, someone has the same number of Medals of the Overlord, they will enter a restricted area for a 1v1 battle, and the winner will obtain the corresponding ranking.

3. The more Medals of the Overlord a faction obtains, the more participants that faction can send in the next Strongest Contest. The initial quota is 3, and one Medal of the Overlord increases the quota by 1.

In the last Strongest Contest, the Reincarnation Paradise faction was besieged and eliminated early. The first place was the Star Race of the Void.

Although the Star Race seemed arrogant, the several representatives they sent this time were all very weak and were all eliminated before advancing to the fifth round. This was clearly prepared to stabilize for one session to avoid being targeted.

Being targeted was not something that hadn't happened. Before the start of the last Strongest Contest, Reincarnation Paradise had won fifteen consecutive championships! It made all participating factions target Reincarnation Paradise.

In the last Strongest Contest, the most prioritized thing for participants in the first to third rounds was to find the participants of Reincarnation Paradise and then besiege them, because if these guys weren't eliminated, there was simply no way to fight. In a certain previous session, there was a very painful lesson.

In the most miserable session of the Strongest Contest, eight participants from Reincarnation Paradise advanced to the fifth round. The remaining two had just advanced to the fifth round and threw away their Medals of the Overlord to abstain. They simply had no way to fight. The eight people from Reincarnation Paradise would definitely clear the field, and the top three were internally determined by the Reincarnation Paradise faction. Who could stand that?

In that session, a Feather Race girl almost cried from grievance. She had gone through layers of dangers and finally made it to the fifth round, but the result was an innate 1 vs 8, and those 8 lunatics were stronger than the last. After entering the fifth round, signal flares filled the sky, and six huge ф-shaped marks almost shrouded the sky, which was spectacular.

After that session, the venue for the fifth round of the Strongest Contest was changed to the land of extreme cold. As long as a signal flare rose into the sky, it would immediately start snowing heavily, obscuring the signal flare.

There is a saying that breaking the rules is not the strongest; making the rules change because of you is what is powerful. The rules of the Strongest Contest changed because of the signal flares that filled the sky that time.

And this time, Su Xiao took first place while holding 7 Medals of the Overlord, which meant that in the next Strongest Contest, Reincarnation Paradise would have ten participant quotas. The crazy paradise that dominated many factions was coming back.
