The champion of the World Series will be decided between Lin Xiao and Jiang Shang.
Han Li and others, who had experienced the Pengcheng incident, naturally did not have high hopes for "Jiang Shang winning the championship".
However, Jiang Shang still looked cheerful, and even seemed a lot more relaxed, as if he was about to be relieved.
Han Li couldn't stand it anymore and said helplessly: "I said, you won't blatantly try to fix the match, right?"
Glancing at the cheerful Jiang Shang, Han Li continued: "I know... you are eager to retire, but at least restrain yourself!"
"This should be called thirsting for talents." Jiang Shang said seriously: "Who is the virtuous? Wu Quxing is the virtuous. Is it reasonable for me to abdicate in favor of the virtuous? It is very reasonable!"
Han Li said speechlessly: "You salty fish."
Jiang Shang chuckled and said, "If you can't beat me, why don't you allow me to eat salted fish?"
Han Li had a headache and said: "But that is the final of the World Championship after all, and you represent the highest combat power in Central Continent..."
Although he is about to become his ‘predecessor’ with the highest combat power. Han Li said silently in his heart.
"No need to say more." Jiang Shang patted Han Li on the shoulder, with clear eyes, and said: "There will always be enemies in the world that you can't defeat even if you try your best."
"Facing such an enemy, efforts are meaningless." Jiang Shang asserted.
"But..." Han Li argued.
"No need to but. I know what kind of opponent that is." Jiang Shang dusted off the sleeves of his Taoist robe and said lightly: "But, I will give it a try -"
A towering mountain seemed to appear in front of Jiang Shang's eyes, his eyes were eager to try, and he smiled and said: "Try to see how high this martial arts star has reached!"
Effort is meaningless, just be a salted fish lying flat, this is Jiang Shang's philosophy of life.
But it’s nice to turn over occasionally and let the other side of the salted fish bask in the warm sunshine.
What's more, the man with the heavy sword aroused Jiang Shang's long-lost passion. It's like a big fish swooping up and turning into a roc when it encounters a strong wind.
Han Li stared at the thin Taoist priest for a long time, shook his head helplessly, and said dumbly:
"I'll be looking forward to this fight."
Looking forward to this battle between the two strongest card masters in the world today!
*
The World Series, the finals are coming soon.
The enthusiasm on the forum is unprecedentedly high. The eyes of the whole world are focused on the Imperial City, and the fans of the Epee Man are particularly excited.
No one could have imagined that the newcomer who debuted in the Starry Sky Cup would now be only one step away from becoming the world champion!
Media reporters, live broadcast platforms, and even all walks of life are paying attention to this final. There is a three-day warm-up period before the final. The airship carries the MV screen that plays in a loop and moves over the city; it can be seen on the subway and high-rise buildings.
Promotional advertisements for Lin Xiao and Jiang Shang; ordinary people also participated in this carnival of card masters and cheered for the players they supported.
Such an unprecedented grand occasion will help alleviate the anxiety of the masses before facing problems such as raging monsters and environmental instability.
Everyone's attention is devoted to the finals of this world series, waiting for the birth of the world champion!
Public opinion was like a raging tide, but Jiang Shang and Lin Xiao, who were at the center of the vortex, actually calmed down.
Jiang Shang returned to the Weishui River, led the green ox and carried the fish bucket, and went to the river to fish on time every day. He looked like an old man, but the fish he caught was not a fraction of the old man's.
Nothing can go far without tranquility. This is one of Jiang Shang's life philosophies. There are occasional exceptions, that is, when fishing for "air force", he will become angry.
Lin Xiaoze and Qiao Linna spent a honeymoon-like time.
After the incident of stargazing on the island in the middle of the lake, Lin Xiao unexpectedly discovered the young woman side of Qiao Linna.
Accepting the car as a gift from Mr. Jones also means that this relationship has been approved by his father-in-law.
Sometimes in the office of the investigation team, while having afternoon tea with the secretary and brother Chu Yun, a photo from Qiao Linna would come to her phone.
Of course it's not a shabby figure, but for Qiao Linna, it's also a very large type——
The girl with a high ponytail stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, holding a mobile phone in one hand and inserting the other into her waist. She wore a black vest and denim hot pants, revealing her long white legs, showing off her lower abdomen and beautiful waistcoat after recovering from the injury.
Wire.
Qiao Linna: "The injury is healed and I will go to training in the afternoon.XD"
Lin Xiao: "Be careful. :D"
Jolina: "Don't worry.ovo"
Lin Xiao: "Kiss me (￣ε￣＠)"
Jolina: "Dear...?(????ω????)?"
Lin Xiao smiled stupidly at the phone.
I heard that some people have completely opposite personalities online and in real life.
Jolina is this type. If she were to show shyness in reality, I'm afraid she would hit the wall first in shame and anger.
Only online, relying on chat software, can Qiao Linna use emoticons and kaomoji to have a meaningful conversation.
"You laugh so strangely, Lin." The little secretary said cautiously while holding the black tea.
Chu Yun's words were as precise as a scalpel: "I guess she wanted to use the word 'obscene'."
People in love are always tolerant. Lin Xiao smiled and said nothing.
Sigrid shivered even more.
Changed, that boss who was petty, like a piece of wood, and suffering from paranoid paranoia, has completely changed as a person!
"Is this the sour taste of love..." The little secretary drank the black tea and chewed a mouthful of lemon-flavored dog food, feeling filled with emotion.
"When will the final be exactly?" Chu Yun changed the topic.
"The night after tomorrow." Lin Xiao said, "You two don't have any other plans that day, right? Come and watch the game."
"Of course I won't be absent." Chu Yun took out a cigarette from his arms, lowered his head and lit it. He was silent for a moment and said, "But there is something, I think, I need to remind you..."
"The crisis is far from over. If even the 'God of Storms' Seth has mastered the laws of the ninth level, then Satan and Chi You will not be too far away from the ninth level." Chu Yun said worriedly.
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered, his face was serious, he nodded and said, "I understand."
Although the relationship with your lover has made substantial progress, you still cannot be careless...after all, there is a huge dark cloud hanging over you.
"Hey, wait a minute, isn't Chi You dead? It's just that the body is missing. Don't be so pessimistic, right?" Sigrid said.
"No, even Xingtian is immortal. I believe Chi You's body is more powerful than Xingtian."
Chu Yun held a cigarette in his mouth and his eyes flickered: "As for Satan...she was seriously injured that day in the desert, but after such a long time, she may have recovered."
Lin Xiao pondered and said: "Can you confirm how many evil gods there are?"
For a while now, Brother Chu Yun has been busy with the Demon City Investigation Team, just to collect information related to the evil god.
"The Demon City Investigation Team and I jointly came to the conclusion that there are five evil gods, corresponding to the five dragons of creation."
Chu Yun whispered: "They are, 'God of Storms' Set, 'God of War' Chi You, 'Big Red Dragon' Satan, 'Mo Luo' Bo Xun, and 'King of Titans' Cronus."
Lin Xiao frowned and said: "They are all villains in various myths..."
"Yes." Chu Yun said in a deep voice: "According to the ancient legend in the North, Moluo Boxun was frozen in the extremely cold tundra, and one day he will return to the world as the 'Sixth Heaven Demon King'
, bringing down karmic fire to the world and melting all the tundra in the North. Because the North is so cold, many people worship Bo Xun and hope that she can bring down the fire."
Lin Xiao's heart moved slightly.
Now it is confirmed that an immortal skeleton is located in the North Land. Is it related to this Mara Bo Xun?
If this guess is true, then the final number of bones can also be clarified, which is also five.
"What about 'King of Titans' Cronus?" the little secretary asked, "Raven, I haven't heard you mention it."
"Because I just got the confidential documents, so I'm really sorry..."
Chu Yun exhaled and said: "Kronos is the Titan king among the gods of Chaos who was overthrown by the third generation god king Zeus. He is also the father of Zeus. She has a violent personality and cut off her father's genitals with a sickle.
He swallowed six children alive, including Zeus."
"Wait a minute... Genitals? Cut off with a sickle?" Sigrid said in astonishment.
"Yes, there is a saying that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was born from the reproductive organs dropped by Cronus' father... Do you want to continue listening?" Chu Yun said.
Sigrid shook her head and said: "The myth of Chaos is indeed the most open myth."
Lin Xiao interjected: "Zeus is not a good thing either. Greece...I mean, few of the gods in the myth of Chaos look like gods."
"Perhaps it's because the gods in the Khaos mythology are the most human-like..."
Chu Yun shook his head and continued: "Getting back to the subject, we suspect that the 'King of Titans' Kronos is sleeping in the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean, but this is just a guess."
Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao: "If we really want to conduct an investigation, I'm afraid we have to wait until the finals are over and you will lead the team yourself, Lin."
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "'Mo Luo' Bo Xun is in the North, and it is not convenient to enter the North League directly. Then after the World Championship is over, I will go to the Pacific to investigate the 'King of Titans' Kronos
Traces of it.”
Chu Yun nodded and said: "No problem. Maybe... we can also find another immortal skeleton."
Lin Xiao: "I hope so."
For some reason, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a dark cloud in his heart.
Perhaps it's because the evil gods have been silent for too long and are a little abnormal.
But no matter what the plans of these evil gods are, Lin Xiao will not escape.
This spirit does not lie in strength, but in the most important human character: courage.
…
Federal, Salomon Winery.
The sun was just right, and the handsome and noble silver-haired demon was sitting at a small round wooden table shaded by grapevines, flipping through human anthologies.
Suddenly, Lucifer felt a wave of energy, raised his silver eyes, and looked towards the distant sky.
Five kilometers away from the winery, in a forest, Lucifer was wearing a solemn white robe and said calmly:
"I think there should be nothing to talk about between us."
The leaves were rustling, and a huge red python was wrapped around the trunk and hanging from the crown of the tree. The scarlet hole reflected Lucifer who was very close, and hissed a message:
"Don't be so quarrelsome, Lucifer... we are old friends."
Lucifer looked disgusted, and the mountain-like terrifying mental pressure forced the red python to retreat: "How can you call yourself my old friend, an ugly demon?"
The red python appears in human form, and the tall, thin man with pale skin wears a black suit, a high hat, and a black bow.
This clone of 'Satan' sneered: "Devil? The master of hell, doesn't he still admit that he is a devil in his heart?"
Lucifer said coldly: "I am the only Morning Star, I don't need you, an ant, to judge me."
"Will the only morning star be under someone else's roof?" Satan walked around Lucifer and said slowly, "Being bound by Nidhogg's laws and becoming a slave of mankind?"
There was a flash of coldness in Lucifer's eyes, he pulled out the sword named 'Pride' and slashed at Satan's neck.
Satan's clone was immediately chopped into pieces, but the other clone stood on the other side and said with a smile:
"If I say that I am willing to help you get rid of Nidhogg's law and let you ascend the throne of hell again, will you be moved? My noble son of the Morning Star, Lord Lucifer?"
Lucifer's silver eyes flashed: "Just you?"
"Of course it's not enough for me." Satan said: "But you know, my law is 'temptation'. Although I cannot fight against the 'destruction' law that created the world, I can temporarily deceive Nidhogg and let him
You are no longer bound by her laws."
"During that period, as long as you kill the human who restrained you, Nidhogg's law of destruction left in the world will naturally dissipate." Satan smiled.
Satan once transformed into a poisonous snake to avoid God's "all-knowing eye" and successfully tempted Eve to swallow the forbidden fruit.
Therefore, Satan's "temptation" law can temporarily avoid the gaze of certain higher beings, allowing Satan to complete his temptation.
The strength of Satan lies not in her direct confrontation, but in her deception and trickery.
Lucifer coldly refused: "If you want me to believe in an ugly poisonous snake, it is better for me to believe in human beings."
In fact, Lucifer also wants to break free from the shackles of the [Black Dragon Contract]. The existence of this contract is equivalent to a shame for the proud Lucifer.

But in the process of getting along with Lin Xiao, she got to know and discovered the value of human beings.
If she is asked to cooperate with Satan, it is better to choose to believe in Lin Xiao.
"I know that there is an unpleasant past between us, but what I said is absolutely true."
Satan snapped his fingers, and the invisible power of law enveloped Lucifer's head.
Lucifer's eyes suddenly froze, but he heard Satan calmly say: "From now on, Nidhogg's law will be ineffective for about three days. During this period, whether you attack that human or leave him,
There will be no backlash from the Law of Destruction."
Lucifer examined his body and was surprised to find that what Satan said was true, and the shackles of the contract in his body had actually been weakened.
"Noble son of the Morning Star, I sincerely extend an invitation to you to attend the banquet at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in three days."
The tall and thin man took off his black hat, bowed slightly and said, "The content of the banquet is..."
Satan's eyes sparkled with fascination and hunger, like a desire to reach a higher realm.
"Share the 'King of the Titans' Kronos."
The disgust in Lucifer's eyes flashed away, and he said coldly: "You can enjoy this kind of good thing to yourself."
"You are joking. Without the help of the Son of the Morning Star, I can't even fight against the 'King of Titans' whose laws are still incomplete." Satan shook his head pretending to be cowardly.
Lucifer frowned and said, "Who else did you invite?"
"Oh, yes."
Satan said with admiration: "I believe that no one is hungrier than that lady and knows better what it means to eat an ancient god."
"Eating a sleeping ancient god will allow us to take our power of law to a higher level. From now on, we will no longer be bound by any existence. Even the dragon of creation and the end of the world cannot destroy us!"
Satan's eyes show fanaticism.
"That's enough!" Lucifer interrupted: "Tell me, who is that person!"
Satan stared at Lucifer, half-smiling but not smiling:
