He slowly picked up the fire stick. Under the dark green surface, many tiny blood red lines were clearly visible. Like blood vessels, they covered the entire body of the stick, even the bead at the top.
Is this my blood?
Shaw Danon thought lightly in his heart. The moment he heard what Issa said, he almost had the impulse to throw away the fire stick. However, Kevern and Hidi gave him a bigger impact. He did not care about the evil thing anymore.
"Hmph!" He laughed bitterly in a low voice. "Even if it's a demonic object, it's still a powerful artifact. How could I have such a good life to be worthy of these things? Isn't it just an ugly fire stick that's with me?"
The cold feeling slowly rose from the fire stick, wandered in his body, like it was comforting him.
"Esper? Esper? "
Shaw Danon gritted his teeth, "Who am I, how can I use esper?" Towards the end, his voice was choked with sobs. Even that icy cold aura seemed to be startled by his sorrow. The throbbing feeling seemed to have become active.
Shaw Danon felt it, but he did not care about it. He thought it was the mountain wind that made his body cold. He slowly raised his head, looked at the fire stick in his hand. The scene of him going to the deep valley with Hidi appeared in his mind. It was like it was a lifetime ago.
The blood vessels in the dark green color of the fire stick slowly brightened, like it was sensing something. Shaw Danon accidentally saw it. His heart skipped a beat. He was surprised. At the same time, he remembered what Issa said. In his heart, there was an irrepressible impulse.
He closed his eyes.
In that instant, the cold feeling spread throughout his body, but there was not the slightest chill. There was no sound, but in the depths of his heart, he could clearly hear a wild roar. It was like the cries of countless wronged spirits from the nine underworlds, carrying endless resentment as it soared up.
White bones, blood, roar, blood!
Shaw Danon suddenly opened his eyes, breathed heavily. However, after a moment, he held his breath.
His hand was spread out flat, his fingers either stretched or curled, forming the shape of a spell. The black firestick had already flown away from his palm, standing in mid-air, black gas billowing and green light shining brightly.
In front of the firestick, a tree that was originally full of life in front of him in the small forest had completely withered at this moment. Its branches and leaves were scattered, as if all of its life had been sucked away by something in an instant.
It was the first time in Shaw Danon's life that he felt so intimate with the fire stick. Even though the fire stick was stopped in mid-air, but at this distance, he could clearly feel that he was holding the fire stick. The familiar cold air also became stronger than ever. In that, there seemed to be a strange fresh air coming from the black stick and going through his body.
At this moment, a deep roar came from behind Shaw Danon. He turned his head in surprise and saw the water in the pond suddenly became chaotic. It seemed like something was disturbed. He didn't think any more and subconsciously ran. He quickly ran to the Rainbow Bridge and didn't look back. He ran forward until he ran across the Rainbow Bridge and came to the sea of clouds. He didn't feel anything strange behind him. Only then did he stop to catch his breath.
After a long time, he stared at the black fire stick in his hand again. At that moment, the fire stick was just like usual, plain, ugly and quietly lying in his hand.
The next day, Jadeon Seven Peaks Tournament entered the third round.
Sixteen Jadeon disciples were distributed on eight stages, fighting at the same time. Among the three from Bamboo Peak, Shaw Danon was arranged on "Kan" stage. Xavion was arranged on "Li" stage. As for Hidi and Anan's fight, they were arranged on the largest and most conspicuous "Qian" stage.
According to Shaw Danon's friend Issa who he had known for only three days, Jadeon's old men had a big problem with the arena arrangement. But it was not surprising. The match between Anan and Hidi was the focus of everyone. Not to mention Anan who has "Aeolian Firmus", every time Jadeon disciples fought with her, they would be surrounded by layers of people, not even a drop of water could pass through. And Big Bamboo Valley's Tian LingEr already had the reputation of being precocious in Qing Yun sect, and these two days she displayed her skills even more, successively defeating strong enemies, everyone's attention was on her. Her appearance was also incomparably elegant, and when compared to Lu XueQi, there were many gossips in private.
Today, these two Qing Yun Sect's most outstanding female disciples in the past hundred years had met prematurely, the elders may have felt pity but the young disciples were all overjoyed and had long surrounded Qian Tai like an iron bucket.
Xavion and Shaw Danon stood in front of Tian Bolis and said goodbye to him. Tian Bolis looked at Xavion, said: "Today your opponent is Chang Jian from the main house. This person is very patient. He has cultivated for many years. His defense is very strong. It is the opposite of your cultivation, 'Ten Tigers'. You need to be careful."
Xavion respectfully said: "Yes, master."
Shaw Danon felt the name was familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered it was Chang Jian who led him and Baye to Crystal Hall five years ago when he first came to the mountain. Thinking of this, he missed Baye again. He heard his good friend also won the second round yesterday. His strength was outstanding and was seen as a genius by everyone. But he did not have time to congratulate him.
Tian Bolis looked at Shaw Danon, who was standing next to Xavion. This unexpected disciple was standing there with his head down, silent. Tian Bolis frowned, said: "Seventh, you also be careful. If you can't do it, it's okay to admit defeat. Just be careful not to get hurt."
Shaw Danon's body shook. Others could not tell what he was feeling. He said quietly: "Yes, master."
Xavion looked at the distance, said to Tian Bolis: "Master, it's late. Xiao Shidi and I will go."
Tian Bolis nodded, Surin standing at the side smiled and said: "Be careful."
Xavion answered, then walked out of the circle with Shaw Danon. Along the way, he faintly felt Shaw Danon was not right today. He was not talking like usual, so he asked Shaw Danon: "Xiao Shidi, why don't you say anything today, are you nervous?"
Shaw Danon looked at Da Shixiong, forced a smile, but did not answer.
Xavion smiled cheerfully, said: "Don't think too much. Don't put too much emphasis on winning or losing. Although master and Shi niang care about their face, they won't blame you. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Shaw Danon answered, but in his heart he thought: they don't have any expectation on me, of course they won't blame me.
Xavion nodded. They walked out of the crowd. It was not easy to squeeze in, but it was easy to get out. Xavion laughed: "Xiao Shidi, we have to go our separate ways. Good luck to you. I hope you can win another round." Then, without waiting for Shaw Danon to respond, he laughed.
Shaw Danon sighed, then walked toward his stage.
Under the "Kan" stage, most of the Peak of Wind disciples were there. Shaw Danon also saw Gao Shixiong and his people. Peak of Wind is one of the main branches of Jadeon. The number of disciples is more than two hundred, just below Peak of Widows and Dragon Head Peak. It was clear that the Peak of Wind disciples heard something from Issa. They all looked relaxed. Seeing Shaw Danon, they even smiled and nodded friendly.
For some reason, Shaw Danon suddenly felt the friendly smile of the people in front of him was so annoying, like they were looking down on him. He walked onto the arena expressionlessly. Behind him, below the arena, everyone stood opposite him. This time, even Zeng Shushu was not there, because he had his own battle to fight.
But even if he was here, he should be cheering for his Senior Martial Brother!
In Shaw Danon's heart, there was an indescribable loneliness. Standing on top of the high stage, countless eyes under the stage, but he did not have any friends.
Why? Why did he always have to face everyone alone? He couldn't even see a single friend!
The sixteen-year-old boy shouted in his heart. He stubbornly bit his lips and lowered his head.
The mountain wind blew past his face.
"Dang!"
The bells and cauldrons rang out almost at the same time, reverberating throughout the Peak of Tongtian and spreading far away. Shaw Danon's heart jumped. His first thought was: Ling'Er Shijie should have started her fight, don't let her get hurt.
Then his heart turned sour, thought: "Whether she gets hurt or not, it is not your business. Master and Shi niang are there, even Kevern said he will go after finishing off his opponent. Heh heh, finish off his opponent as soon as possible. So impressive, so confident, really treating his opponent like nothing... "
As he thought this, he forgot that he was also in the arena. Until the opponent standing in front of him shouted for the third time, "… Junior Brother Zhang!"
Shaw Danon suddenly woke up. He raised his head and saw a Shixiong from Peak of Wind was standing in front of him. He was tall, but his expression was quite gentle. But seeing Shaw Danon was spacing out, his expression was a bit strange.
Shaw Danon's face was red. Laughter came from the audience.
Peng Chang smiled and saluted: "I am Peak of Wind disciple Peng Chang, please enlighten me Zhang Shidi."
Shaw Danon quickly returned the salute: "Bamboo Peak disciple Shaw Danon greet Peng Shixiong."
They greeted each other. Peng Chang smiled, looked at Shaw Danon, then lowered his voice: "Zhang Shidi, Ceng Shidi has already told me about you, I-"
Shaw Danon's body shook, suddenly blurted out: "Peng Shixiong, please come at me."
Peng Chang startled, carefully looked at Shaw Danon. After a while, he took back his smile and nodded. His right hand drew across in front of him. "Clang", a sword glowing with red light, almost like it was surrounded by burning flame, appeared.
"This sword is' Wu Gou ', made from thousand years old fire copper. Please enlighten me Zhang Shidi." For some unknown reason, Peng Chang's entire expression was solemn, and his bearing was awe-inspiring. It was as if he was speaking to an evenly matched enemy.
Shaw Danon could feel the heat from far away. The heat was strong and fierce. It was completely different from the gentle righteousness of Chu Yu Wang's Shaoyang Celestial Sword. It was more overbearing.
Shaw Danon's heart uncontrollably sped up. When he thought of the result he was about to face, he was so nervous that his body was slightly trembling. But he gritted his teeth, tried his best to control himself, took out the black fire stick from his chest.
A burst of ear-piercing laughter came from below the stage.
Shaw Danon's body shook like he was pricked by a needle.
Peng Chang, who was standing in front of him, did not smile. He looked at the black fire stick and said seriously, "Junior Brother Zhang, please!"
Shaw Danon looked at his opponent. Behind the burning flame, Peng Chang was like an ancient god of fire. His whole person was different. The hot flame caused smoke to float in the air. Even his face was a little blurred.
Holding the black fire stick tightly, Shaw Danon once again felt the connection between flesh and blood. It seemed like it knew the master's mood. The cold feeling boiled again.
The black and ugly looking fire stick, slowly rose into the air, leaving his palm, emitting a dark green light. Even though it was ugly, even though it was weak, but as it stood in the air, facing the seemingly unstoppable and omnipotent powerful flame, it, and its master, did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
One person, one fire stick, facing the whole world!
Under the stage, the laughter slowly calmed down. People held their breath for some reason.
That huge ball of flame grew stronger and stronger, and no one knew what it was burning for it to burn so vigorously. The disciples of the Peak of the Wind below the stage all felt the heat pressing down on them, and the disciples with lower cultivation even retreated. Those who were close to Zeng ShuShu and knew the inside story, such as Gao Shixiong and the others, changed their expressions. Everyone could see that Peng Chang did not look like he was being lenient at all, but was going all out, fighting to the death.
The fire dragon was getting bigger. It almost covered the sky above the stage. Looking from afar, Shaw Danon's clothes, even his hair and eyebrows were showing signs of being burnt. It was possible to imagine the feeling of being in the furnace, creepy.
However, that young man stood there. Although there was pain on his face, he did not flinch. Although there was fear in his eyes, it was still fanatical. The flame deep in his heart was also burning in his eyes.
A roar, the huge fire dragon swallowed everything in the world.
It was like a moment, but it was frozen for a lifetime.
Shaw Danon roared to the sky. The green light of the fire stick rushed into the flame.
A deafening roar rang out amidst the raging flames.
Under the stage, Gao Shixiong and others looked at each other. After a while, they sighed: "How could it become like this!"
