[Hell Gladiator Arena]
[Arena Level-5, Battlefield 12]
A storm of blood and slaughter erupted around the Ghost Swordsman Elfa.
By madly slaughtering monsters to harvest points, with the help of a 5-Star Arena King title + 1,458 points, securing his rank at second place, Elfa began to change his approach, turning his blade toward other national participants in this battlefield.
He even used the live broadcast to indirectly declare war on Chen Zijin.
His targets were also from nations hostile to the Eight Great Empires.
Thus, all participants in Battlefield 12 from Dragon Nation, Bear Nation, Batan, Sevia, and other nations were slaughtered one after another by Elfa.
Facing today's world's number one powerhouse, the Ghost Swordsman Elfa, in Battlefield 12, there was not a single person who could withstand even one sword from him.
The aura of a Mythical-rank Ghost Swordsman was, after all, several times stronger than that of a Legendary-rank Shadow Dancer.
Elfa could release his Sword Ghost to search for enemy auras within the nearby range, thereby detecting their position faster and more accurately, then killing them in a targeted strike.
No matter how deep they hid, they could not escape Elfa's judgment.
According to statistics from viewers in both live broadcast rooms, in the time Chen Zijin killed one person, Elfa had already killed ten.
Countless people flooded into Chen Zijin's live broadcast room, furiously mocking:
["Elfa was right. Compared to him, little sister, your tricks are still too childish! Go learn from him what real slaughter is!"]
["It's just that you didn't happen to match into the same battlefield. Otherwise, Ghost Swordsman killing you would be just one sword's work. Where would you have a chance to be arrogant?"]
["We Beacon Nation people have always advocated kindness. Elfa going on a killing spree is also because you forced him. Can't blame anyone else. You Dragon Nation people, if you want to blame, blame your Shadow Dancer!"]
———
In Battlefield 12, the Ghost Sword in Elfa's hand was already soaked in blood.
The killing intent in him raged violently.
Around him, waves of starlight flared one after another.
"Not a single opponent? So without Zero, your Dragon Nation has already no one to succeed her?"
Just as Elfa was speaking arrogantly, from behind him suddenly came a voice, "You'd better not get too complacent."
Elfa turned around and saw, standing not far in front of him, the one speaking was an old granny whose age was at least in the triple digits.
The elder wore a cyan magic robe, with a parrot perched on her shoulder.
Though elderly, at a glance, the aura of this old mage was in no way inferior to that of a vigorous young adult.
Moreover, the powerful presence radiating from her made even the Mythical-rank Ghost Swordsman Elfa feel an unprecedented intimidation.
The red five-star national banner above her head shone with endless brilliance.
The Beacon Nation viewers in the live broadcast room were all baffled.
["What? Where did this old granny come from?"]
["This damned old hag dares to shout at our Lord Elfa? She really doesn't know life from death!"]
["Does Dragon Nation not have a single decent professional left? They actually sent such a weaponless old granny onto the battlefield!"]
["This really is weaponless! She doesn't even have a weapon in her hand. Why does she look like she can't even walk steadily? Lord Elfa, go easy on her, or else Dragon Nation people will say we're bullying the elderly and infirm."]
["Hahahaha, Dragon Nation must really be at the end of its rope…"]
Because the audience in the broadcast room had never seen this Dragon Nation old mage before, they all thought she was just an unarmed old woman.
Thus, they mocked wildly.
Only Elfa, upon seeing her for the first time, felt a shock in his heart and slightly frowned, "It's you!"
Elfa instantly recognized that the opponent was [Witch Ancestor · Empress Xuan]. The mysterious Dragon Nation powerhouse revived by Zhang Yue using the Resurrection Divine Stone.
When she had just been revived, Elfa had fought her before, personally watching as his full-power strike was completely nullified by Witch Ancestor's magic.
At that time, he had also understood: although she was just a Legendary-rank professional, one rank lower than himself, in all other aspects, her aura was in no way weaker than his.
Looking at Elfa, Xuan Lan spoke, "Do you know who the enemy you are about to face is?"
"Any one of the three Main Gods of the Otherworld is enough to make you suffer. If they join hands, killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."
"You are stopping the revival of the only person in this world who can contend against the three Main Gods. You will personally push all of humanity into the abyss."
Elfa laughed loudly, "And you? In what capacity are you speaking to me?"
"Don't tell me you think a mere level one-hundred-something Beast Tamer can become the savior of this world?"
"I am the number one powerhouse of the human race. In this world, there is no enemy Elfa cannot kill. If gods block me, I kill gods. If Buddhas block me, I kill Buddhas."
Xuan Lan shook her head, "Naive."
Elfa raised his sword and pointed at Xuan Lan, "Whoever blocks me, dies!"
After saying that, Elfa turned into a blood-red sword shadow, fiercely rushing toward Xuan Lan.
His speed was so fast that the live broadcast viewers could only see a flash of flame and wind pass by.
["When Lord Elfa strikes, it's either death or crippling."]
["She's still just an old person. Really can't bear to watch her drop dead on the spot, tsk."]
["That's her own fault for seeking death. Who dares provoke Lord Elfa?"]
["Although this old granny looks a bit unusual, there's absolutely no way she can take even one sword from Lord Elfa!"]
Just when the hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room thought Elfa was about to one-shot Xuan Lan, they saw Xuan Lan, standing calmly in place, move her brows and eyes slightly.
The next moment—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Several magic ice spikes suddenly burst from the ground in front of her, forming shield after shield of ice.
Elfa crashed into the ice shields again and again. As the impact force was reduced each time, by the time he reached the last ice shield, not only did he fail to break through, but he was instead blasted back dozens of steps by a burst of magic power from within the ice shield.
Lifting his head, Elfa's eyes revealed a trace of shock.
But he did not stop because of this. Instead, he released a burst of ghost fire from his body, using the ghost fire's enhancement to strengthen himself.
The next second, he erupted with even greater power, launching an even fiercer attack on Xuan Lan.
Crash!
"HAA!"
With a shout, Elfa swept forward countless blood-red sword shadows, striking at Xuan Lan with a force to destroy heaven and earth.
At that moment, the parrot on Xuan Lan's shoulder leaped into the air, transforming into a golden light, swiftly circling Elfa, forming a golden net that instantly bound Elfa together with those hundreds of sword shadows.
["What?"]
Seeing Elfa's all-out attacks blocked twice in a row with ease, countless viewers in the live broadcast room widened their eyes in disbelief at this old mage before them.
Xuan Lan stood in place, looking at Elfa with calm eyes, and said, "A hundred years ago, when I led the first batch of human professionals to fight on the front lines of the Otherworld to defend humanity, you didn't even exist yet."
