"Please, young Nightmare! Fear of the Prairie! Nightmare Chaser Knight-Tuo-La!!"

Facing Mobu's shout, Tola quietly walked out from the shadow of the passage and stepped into the arena.

It wasn't until this time that Zheng Qi seemed to have found his target, his eyes turned and fell on Tuo La.

And Tuo La has been staring at Zheng Qi from the moment he entered the arena.

"Before this, there was a gunpowder-flavored collision between the Nightmare Knight and the Hao Knight, and now, the two sides are standing on the field in a one-on-one posture!"

"Is the Hao Knight still the Iron Fist Warrior? Or is the young Nightmare capable of creating new miracles?"

"Fight, fight! Only the victor can enjoy the glory!"

"What kind of sparks will the two collide with? It's exciting!"

Mobu's words aroused the audience's enthusiasm to the point of madness.

But at this moment, inside and outside the arena, there seemed to be an invisible wall separating the auditorium from the arena.

The frenzy outside the court did not have the slightest impact on the two people on the court.

Zheng Qi looked at Tuo La.

"Recovering well."

"...Finally, I can face you like this."

Tara gripped the big knife in her hand.

"I can hardly wait."

"As a result, you're still chasing those pasts."

Zheng Qi pulled his hands out of his pockets: "Forget it."

"Let's talk while fighting."

Tuola was silent, but also put on a posture.

The signal to start the game did not make the two of them move.

After all, they didn't come to the [competition] in the first place.

There was caution and scrutiny in Tuo La's eyes.

Zheng Qi's eyes were full of calm luster, like an ancient well without waves.

The two looked at each other, and after a brief silence, it was Tuo La who took the lead.

He ran up and charged towards Zheng Qi.

The long-handled big knife dragging on the ground made an ear-piercing sound. Wrapped in a string of fine sparks, as Tuola twisted her waist and turned around, she made a beautiful arc and headed towards Zheng Qi's face. The door slashed down!

However, at the moment when the big saber was about to hit Zheng Qi's face, he suddenly withdrew the saber and retreated, distanced himself from Zheng Qi.

Pointing to the ground, Tuola, who had retreated half a step, folded back and pressed in again, swung his arms, and carried the big knife wrapped in the whistling sound from left to right, slamming straight at Zheng Qi's waist——

But at the moment when the blade was about to hit Zheng Qi's body, Tuola withdrew the blade again and retreated.

Immediately, Tuola, who had withdrawn, stepped forward again.

But this time, just as before, when the blade was about to hit Zheng Qi, he suddenly withdrew the blade and retreated.

This happened three times in a row.

But in these three offensives, Zheng Qi did not make any reaction until the last moment in front of Dao Renjia.

From the beginning to the end, he faced Tola directly like that, with his fists raised high on both sides of his cheeks, as if the empty door was wide open.

"..."

All three attacks turned back midway, and Tuola opened a long distance when he withdrew for the third time.

He stared at Zheng Qi and remained silent.

For the vast majority of viewers, it is not at all clear what happened.

They only saw that after Tola danced a majestic and dangerous "dance" as if sticking to Zheng Qi, they withdrew from the unscathed Zheng Qi and stopped moving forward for a while.

But there are still people who understand the situation in the arena.

"In the first battle, that nightmare horse lost."

Lime said in a deep voice, "Slow step by step, slow step by step."

"Sister, the Nightmare Chaser Knight is..."

Maria, who was watching the game in the bar, asked puzzledly.

"The two have been fighting since the confrontation."

Margaret beside her stared intently at the screen on the TV: "The Nightmare Chaser Knight is trying to predict Zheng Qi's actions."

When the realm reaches a certain level of master duel, the behavior of pre-reading is not uncommon.

By observing the opponent's posture and demeanor, predict the possible actions of the opponent, so as to achieve the effect of taking the first step before the opponent makes a move.

That is to say, [the first comes first].

"Generally speaking, this approach is not a problem. It is a normal use of Nightmare Knight's superb martial arts."

Margaret frowned and said, "However, in the face of Zheng Qi, there is a problem with the first application."

Yes.

The three consecutive retreats were not because Tuola wanted to retreat.

Instead, he was forced by Zheng Qi to retreat.

the reason is simple.

"—Only relying on martial arts, his sword can't hurt Zheng Qi at all."

Lime seemed to be recalling some bad memories, and said in a low tone, "The so-called first, in this case, has no meaning to Zheng Qi at all."

"He just needs to fight back the moment he is attacked."

exactly.

In just three tries, Tola was sure of it.

Facing his blade, Zheng Qi had no intention of defending at all.

From the beginning, Zheng Qi opened his chest wide open, waiting for him to make a mistake.

"what happened?"

Looking at Tuo La who stopped suddenly, Zheng Qi opened his mouth.

"Aren't you playing yet?"

"..."

Zheng Qi sighed.

He let go of his fist and gestured.

"A decided to attack, B noticed it, and seized the precious 0.5 seconds to attack—"

"Then A noticed that counter attack again, and then went to meet B's counter attack..."

"Then A, then B, then A..."

Zheng Qi put down his hand: "It's really enough."

He looked at Tuo La helplessly, as if looking at a stubborn dead child.

"How long will it take? This reincarnation of the counter attack."

Chapter 270 Chapter 100: What resides in Zheng Qi's body?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing this kind of competition. It's reasonable to compete between equal masters, and there's nothing wrong with it."

Zheng Qi raised his chin slightly, looked down at Tuo La: "I am the only one who has a problem with you standing here."

"Before stepping into my field of vision, you knew very well that this would definitely be a tough battle just by you."

"But even so, you still didn't choose to go all out when you first came up."

"You don't even want to use your own body to verify your conjecture once."

"You even think that you are qualified to hide a hand"

Zheng Qi's voice was very calm, which matched that expressionless posture.

In his pupils, there was a reflection of Tuo La who was ready for battle.

"Have you had enough fun? Tora."

"Play……"

Tuola said in a deep voice, "You said, play?"

"You said, play?!"

The young Nightmare roared.

But compared to the anger of being underestimated, there seemed to be a hint of crying in his roar.

If you want to compare...

Yes, it's like a person in love who is misunderstood by his lover and blamed for no reason by his lover, no matter how sensible the person was in the past, he will easily lose his sense of normalcy and become hysterical when he is in love.

Tuo La suddenly rushed towards Zheng Qi, and the swirling broadsword slashed straight at Zheng Qi's throat with the power to cut even metal and iron in two——

"Oh!"

However, before the blade touched Zheng Qi's neck, that heavy fist hit Tola's face first.

There was a muffled explosion, and the figure flew upside down.

"Don't think too highly of yourself."

Seeing Tuola, who was flying upside down for a few meters, rolled twice on the ground before barely stabilizing his body with the big knife in his hand, Zheng Qi slowly withdrew his left fist.

"I originally thought of this as a [practice]."

"Competition? Duel? You don't even deserve to fight with me now."

"Why, what do you mean, you don't even want to do [practice] now, and you just want to play a joke with me?"

"Are you an urchin, Tora."

"..."

Holding the big knife, Tola stood up tremblingly.

His helmet was not completely shattered under Zheng Qi's merciless fist.

But the tiny cracks were already clearly visible on the scarlet metal surface.

Most likely, another punch, even if it was a "child's play" punch like just now, would be enough to crush it.

Whether it is the dizziness in the cranial cavity, the pain on the cheeks, no, or even the pain transmitted from the entire skull, at this moment, it is not as intense as the tumbling emotions in Tuola's heart.

I was spared.

Be cared for.

After receiving this punch, Tuola understood something with her own body.

no doubt……

This is me, being pitied by an opponent who thought he was going to fight with all his strength.

child's play...

Tara took a deep breath.

"Zheng Qi, what are you fighting for?"

"……Ugh."

Zheng Qi sighed.

"Tora, do you know why neither Dicaiopolis nor I regard you as an opponent?"
