Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 35: The First Battle of Death Madness
After the helicopter landed, Masanobu Kamiizumi and Kaede Harutani were the first to get off.
The deck was filled with capital tycoons who often appeared in Sakura Country newspapers and various media platforms. When they saw Kamiizumi Masanobu, they all smiled and waved to greet him.
"President Kamiizumi, I heard that you brought a new swordsman to join the battle this time. Who is he?"
"Kamiizumi, you look so confident. Does it seem like the new swordsman you found is very strong?"
"President Shangquan, I heard that your pollution treatment technology has made a new breakthrough. Can we find a place to discuss cooperation someday?"
Several big guys who looked familiar talked to Kamiizumi Masanobu with a smile, and Kamiizumi Masanobu responded to all of them with a smile and politeness.
call!
An inexplicable chill inadvertently spread across the entire deck.
All the noisy sounds disappeared.
In the stunned eyes of everyone.
clatter.
A long-haired man wearing a white smiley mask, an ordinary black sports sweatshirt, and a short ponytail behind his head jumped gently from the helicopter.
In the strong wind caused by the high-speed rotating propeller of the helicopter, the man's long hair and clothes danced wildly.
He stood up straight, looked up at everyone, his eyes under the mask were extremely cold.
It's like a king at the top of the food chain standing among the flock of sheep.
Most of the businessmen who met the man's gaze involuntarily avoided his gaze.
"What a terrifying power... Ueizumi, who is this?" A wealthy businessman touched Ueizumi Masanobu timidly.
Shangquan Zhengxin nodded and said loudly: "Dear business friends, this is the swordsman newly hired by our Shangquan Technology. You can call him..."
"Bai Xiuluo!"
Masanobu Kamiizumi announced Qi Ji's code name as the Swordsman.
After knowing that this person was the swordsman brought by Kamiizumi Masanobu this time.
The crowd, who were originally frightened by Qi Ji's terrifying power, slowly became noisy again.
Obviously, in the eyes of these capital tycoons who use money to settle everything, the swordsmen who can be hired with money, no matter how strong they are, will not pose a threat to them.
This time, they looked at Qi Ji wearing a white smiling mask excitedly and were impressed by his powerful temperament.
Several people immediately surrounded Kamiizumi Masanobu.
"Shangquan, this 'White Shura' looks terribly strong. Tell me the truth, can I beat him later?" An old man in a suit with white hair and beard and a Mediterranean hairstyle, who looked very rich, looked at Qi Ji with shining eyes, and asked Shangquan Zhengxin anxiously.
Ueizumi Masanobu laughed: "President Shimada, if you believe in me, just bet on Bai Xiuluo to win. I guarantee you will make a lot of money!"
Another thin bald man in a suit also came over and said, "President Shangquan, where did you find such a master? With this kind of momentum, he must be at the ninth level. And he looks like a young man. There are only a few young people like him in the world!"
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Shangquan Zhengxin's forehead, and he laughed: "Why do you care where I found it? Anyway, now that I have Bai Xiuluo, I am determined to win the final victory in this death race!"
The several business leaders surrounding him all expressed their envy and admiration.
At this time, a business tycoon who came from nowhere came up with a sense of boundaries, and said to Shangquan Zhengxin sarcastically: "Shangquan, you are so unlucky. Where did you find such a strong master? Look at his figure..." After saying that, he wanted to reach out and pat Qi Ji's arm.
die!
In an instant, a terrifying force symbolizing death burst out, and the president who wanted to touch Qi Ji suddenly froze in place.
Silently, Qi Ji turned his head and looked at him, his cold eyes under the white mask like the eyes of a hunter in the dark.
Chun Gufeng had already noticed something was wrong. When Qi Ji got off the plane, she turned on the camera on her mobile phone and recorded Qi Ji's entire mysterious and terrifying performance, then quietly put away her phone.
The competition will start soon, and mobile phone recording is prohibited.
The scene suddenly became extremely cold.
"Kamiizumi, you actually found someone to participate in the competition. I thought you were going to admit defeat!"
Just when Kamiizumi Masanobu didn't know what to do, a mocking voice came from the back of the crowd.
Kamiizumi Masanobu breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his expression and laughed out loud, "President Takatori, do you think I'm the kind of person who would surrender without a fight?"
The crowd parted, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather collar came over with another tall and strong man.
The middle-aged businessman called Gaodori by Kamiizumi Masanobu laughed and said, "Who knows you? Or did you find another useless so-called seventh-dan master this time, and are you going to continue peeing on the stage?"
When Masanobu Kamiizumi's company officially became a member of the Death Maniac Society, due to their lack of understanding of the seriousness of the Death Maniac sword fights and the fact that they could not find any top masters willing to fight for them, they finally found an ordinary 7th dan player in Sakura as a swordsman.
The result was obvious. The seventh-level swordsman who had never seen blood came to the Death Madness Sword Fighting Arena for the first time and was completely shocked after watching several matches. When he personally went on the field to face the tall and terrifying opponent, he could no longer bear it - he became incontinent.
This made Kamiizumi Masanobu lose face.
Now that this annoying President Gao Niao had exposed his shortcomings again, Kamiizumi Masanobu could not help but get angry and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, why don't you show your true colors on stage!"
President Gao Niao also sneered. He turned around and said loudly to the tall man beside him: "Razor, I heard that in the 16 battles you won before, all your opponents died on the spot. How could you be so careless? You should be more careful this time, okay?"
The tall man smiled coldly, and turned his face wearing a military green mask to Qi Ji behind Kamiizumi Masanobu. Under the holes in the mask, his eyes were like two cold stars in the evening night.
He spoke in Sakura language with a deep voice with a Nordic accent: "Boss, I can't guarantee it. After all, I failed the previous sixteen times."
Everyone in the audience could hear that it was Razor who was issuing a death threat to Qi Ji.
President Gao Niao nodded with satisfaction: "Anyway, you still have to be careful. But if you really beat someone to death, there is nothing we can do. After all, this is a death race. It would be abnormal if no one died, hahahahahaha!"
Faced with the other party's provocation throughout the whole process, Qi Ji had no reaction.
I don't understand at all.
He tilted his head slightly and asked Chun Gu Feng, "What are they talking about?"
Chun Gufeng immediately translated the other party's words to him.
Qi Ji nodded without replying, and looked at Razor as if he was looking at a dead person.
The razor that had been staring at him with an indifferent look suddenly stopped, and fear arose in his heart.
Razor was stunned for a moment , then reacted. He was like a lion whose territory was invaded. At this moment, he burst into a terrifying aura. He shouted loudly in Nordic: "Boy, I just heard that your name is 'White Shura'. Later on the stage, I will make you understand that you are not a Shura, but a weak little lamb!"
This time Qi Ji understood . He used to work in computers, and anyone with some skills in this field would have a decent command of Nordic.
So he looked at the razor and responded indifferently in Nordic: "You can talk more nonsense, after all, those who are about to fall asleep will never have the opportunity to speak again in the future."
The pre-war confrontation and provocation ended with Razor completely going into a rage.
Surrounded by many businessmen and wealthy people, both sides headed towards the huge cabin of the cargo ship.
Soon, they arrived at the center of the huge belly of the freighter, where there was a huge elevated competition platform that was almost twenty by twenty meters.
On the ring, a masked man was standing upright. His clothes were very simple, except for two huge characters "Death Maniac" written in cursive in the center of the mask.
That’s right, although the Death Madness Society is a branch of that mysterious international organization set up in Sakura, the Sakura people themselves are a branch of Daxia, so even though they have been trying to create and use their own writing, they still use Daxia writing in many public occasions and formal documents.
Chun Gu Feng approached Qi Ji and whispered, "This is the referee assigned by the Death Madness Club to preside over the competition. In addition to the referee, there will be a lot of surveillance cameras installed by the Death Madness Club at the scene. It is basically impossible to bribe this referee and manipulate the results of the competition."
She smiled as she spoke. "Besides, the Death Sword Fight itself is almost an unregulated competition. The referees of such competitions naturally have no power to influence the outcome of the competition. The only thing they can do is probably to check if the contestants are carrying any prohibited weapons before the competition and to stop the other party from killing the contestant when he shouts "surrender".
Qi Ji nodded, was silent for a while, and asked, "When will you go on stage?"
"I'll be right there." Chun Gufeng said.
After a slight hesitation, Chun Gufeng couldn't help but said to Qi Ji: "Bai Xiuluo, your current state is very wrong."
Qi Ji was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I feel that too. Anyway, let's finish this fight first."
How could he not know that after putting on the mask, he seemed less and less like himself? But now that the Death Race was approaching, he was no longer allowed to take off the mask to prevent the situation from spreading.
In an illegal competition like this where killing of opponents is allowed, unlike the wealthy businessmen present, they did not take part in the competition themselves but just watched.
The contestants are the ones who fight in person. Although this is the high seas, if we really pursue the matter, the corresponding countries also have the legal right to investigate and judge.
Especially if a major crime such as murder occurs, if it is clearly identified as a public figure, then the possibility of that person being tracked down and arrested is very high.
Under such circumstances, although this so-called mysterious international organization has great power and claims to be able to ensure the smooth conduct of the Death Madness Sword Fight.
However, for players who fight in person, it is still very important to keep their own secrets.
There was no way he was going to take the mask off here.
The crowd didn't have to wait long.
Soon, the referee on the stage wearing a mask with the word "Death Maniac" on it looked at his watch, took a few steps forward, and then said loudly: "The first match of this Death Maniac Sword Fight is about to begin. Please invite the swordsmen from Shangquan Technology and Rhine Technology to the stage immediately!"
