Chapter 961: Sword and Blade Showdown (Part 2)

Blood, falling with the wind.

Ruoyu's wound was not deep, and the wound was on her left hand.

Xu Huaishang's wound was not deep either, and the wound was on her left rib.

In the moment of close combat just now, the former's two sets of sword moves concealed two completely different sword energy torrents, while the latter used two swords to perform a long-handled weapon-style spinning round slash.

The former's shape was released at will, while the latter's shape was changed by intention. Both sides have reached the extreme in the use of weapons and the understanding of martial arts, and it is difficult to tell them apart.

However, the difference in moves and weapon shapes still had a subtle impact on the result of this round of confrontation.

There is no flawless defensive posture in the world, nor an invincible attack mode, and there are no two people with exactly the same strength.

There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.

As long as the two sides of the battle are human, the victory or defeat can be determined in subtle places.

If we have to say who took advantage of the move just now, it should be... Xu Huaishang.

Although she was injured in the torso, the pain was nothing, and the depth of the wound would not affect the reaction of the muscles.

Ruoyu's injury... is more troublesome. The stinging pain on her left wrist will directly affect her swinging of the weapon, and... the wound will be opened as she continues to use super-high-speed sword-±.

"It seems that you are unlucky." In the confrontation after the fight, Xu Huaishang looked at Ruoyu's hand and said so.

"No, it's not a matter of luck." Ruoyu replied calmly, "My swordsmanship is not yet mature enough."

"No matter what... I won't show mercy because of this." Xu Huaishang said again.

"I know." Ruoyu replied, "That's best..."

Silence. It came again, and an atmosphere of impending storm rose between the two...

…………

At the same time. Outside the sword-killing formation of the two female heroes, various people were also closely watching the changes in the battle situation, ready to act according to the situation at any time.

"This... should we help?" Tie Haitang's shooting expertise is not bad, and she should be able to get involved at this moment, but she still asked Xue Qiangwei's opinion first.

"Are you sure you can hit the target when they are fighting?" Xue Qiangwei did not give a direct answer, but asked a question in return.

"Heh..." Tie Haitang smiled bitterly, "How is that possible? When they attacked quickly, I couldn't even see the afterimage..." She pointed to Ruoyu with her eyes, "I mean... like now. When the opponent is in a static state, can we consider intervening?"

"Actually, there is no difference." Xue Qiangwei continued in a deep voice, "If you don't believe me... try shooting her now."

Her words were a little mysterious, but Tie Haitang was the type who acted faster than thinking. So she decided to try it first.

Bang——

Gunshot. A rifle bullet suddenly came out of the barrel and rushed towards Ruoyu who was standing in the distance.

At that second, Ruoyu's sight was still on Xu Huaishang, and her figure seemed to be motionless.

However, the bullet did not hit her, but passed by her.

"Huh?" Seeing this scene, Tie Haitang was stunned for a moment, "I missed? Impossible..."

This is indeed impossible. At this distance, she would not miss if she hit a motionless target.

"It's not that you missed, it's that she dodged..." Xue Qiangwei continued, "It's just... as you said, she was so fast that we couldn't even see her afterimage, so we had the illusion that 'she didn't move at all' visually."

"Hey... this is too exaggerated." Tie Haitang replied in a skeptical tone.

"In fact... this is normal." Xue Qiangwei replied, "The opponent's speed is obvious... the speed of the bullet is slower than the rhythm of their fight just now. Unless you can accurately intervene in the process of their fight and attack without accidentally hurting your own people... otherwise, such shooting is all in vain."

"Hehe... that may not be the case..." At this time, Hyacinthus on the side suddenly laughed dryly twice and continued, "After the shot just now..." When she said this, her eyes had moved away from the battle and looked elsewhere, "that [Wang Tanzhi] brother... suddenly disappeared."

"What?" Xue Qiangwei and Tie Haitang were both shocked when they heard this.

The two hurriedly turned their heads and found that the two Hell Frontline members who were originally standing on the same side with Yuan Qi and other NPCs... Now only [Shi Shang Hua Jian] was left.

"When did he..." Xue Qiangwei wanted to ask another question.

"I didn't see it..." Hyacinthus continued before she finished asking, "I looked at the opposite side before the gunshot, and he was still there; when the gunshot rang, I looked at Si Yu like you; and after the gunshot... When I looked over again, the boy's figure had disappeared."

As a medical professional player in the team, Hyacinthus always plays the role of support and assistance, so she often pays attention to some blind spots that her teammates don't pay much attention to. At this moment, she discovered something that may bring a huge threat in time...

"Tsk... carelessness." Tie Haitang said unhappily, "The opponent's assassin disappeared from sight..."

"The matter has come to this, we have to take corresponding countermeasures." Blood Rose said, frowning slightly, her thoughts moving; after a moment, she spoke again, "Since we are temporarily unable to deal with the battle on the captain's side, To provide effective support, we might as well do something else..." He paused for half a second and then continued, "I have two ideas... One, we simply leave here and go after Feng Bujue; the other, On the other hand, take advantage of the fact that Wang Tanzhi is missing...quickly go around the battle circle now and try to kill Huajian before the NPCs react. "

"Hmm..." After a slight hesitation, Hyacinthus continued, "I think the second plan is better... The three of us will start a fight nearby. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it can at least distract Siyu to a certain extent. ”

"Ha..." Tie Haitang smiled, "Why do I think... the three of us chasing Kuang Bujue will make it easier for her to be distracted..." People like her who are action-minded... have really abnormal intuition. Correct.

"Hmm... Actually, I also think that chasing is better." Blood Rose thought for a while, "Even if the strength of those NPCs is average. But that leader Yuan is undoubtedly a boss-level existence, and Kuang Bujue specifically warned him before leaving. He wants to help. If we kill him now... we will certainly put pressure on Siyu and have a chance to kill Hanajian, but there will most likely be a price to pay... our captain will also share. Heart."

"Then let's use the first plan." After hearing this analysis, Hyacinth had no objection, "Without further ado, the longer you stay in the same place, the worse it will be... Don't forget that the other party has someone who doesn't know where he is. It’s in vain.”

After such an agreement, the three of them turned around cautiously... and quickly walked towards the depths of the villa.

Huajian, who witnessed this scene, showed an imperceptible smile and whispered to himself: "Well... I really fell into the trap..."

…………

boom--

After about two minutes of confrontation. An explosive roar of fighting spirit once again attracted everyone's attention.

I saw... Ruoyu and Xu Huaishang in the sword killing formation each increased their momentum a few points.

At this point, the battle has entered a more suffocating stage...

"Yueyin."

The moment the name of the move is spoken. Xu Huaishang's whole body erupted with blue ice, his body turned into water, and silently sank into the ground.

Half a second later, a blue light energy splashed out from behind Ruoyu like water waves. The figure of Xu Huaishang was brought out.

Obviously... this [Yueyin] is a teleportation technique. In "The Moves of Swordsmen from Another World." In addition to various offensive moves launched by cold weapons, it naturally also includes many other high-end martial arts, and this... is one of them.

In terms of skill effects, this move is even superior to Seven Kills' [Shadow Step]; Seven Kills' skill always appears behind the enemy after teleportation, but [Yueyin] can adjust the distance according to the user's wishes. , appearing at any point around the enemy; in addition, the appearance stage of [Moon Hidden] also comes with wavy blue light special effects to obstruct the enemy's vision.

Of course. The shortcomings of [Yueyin] are also obvious. In terms of skill effectiveness speed, [Shadow Step] is undoubtedly faster. Because the former's pre-effect of "turning water into the ground" wastes a little time; and this special effect looks very obvious. As long as the opponent sees it once, he will be on guard. The next time he sees your whole body emitting blue light, he will know it. What are you going to do?

However, this assumption about "prejudgment" is of little significance in this battle...

Regardless of whether he had seen this move or not, Ruoyu had time to respond to it.

"Fei Dao Style. Forbidden Hands. The rain rolls and splits the killing formation!"

"The wind passes. It leaves traces."

The two people were so close together, their murderous intent and fighting skills suddenly collided.

The sword light trembled, like a soul-stealing dance.

The sword energy moves quickly, like the sad song of breaking wind.

During the exchange of swords and the burst of fighting spirit, the two of them were still moving with the situation, looking for opportunities to change their moves and gaps for breakthroughs.

Their movement skills are all light and fast, and when they move around they are like fairies flying on waves or flying giants dancing gracefully, but their moves are like wind and thunder igniting fire, shocking people's hearts.

The martial arts heroes present had never seen such a duel before, and they were all stunned and amazed. Some people even feel that the martial arts they have practiced for decades have become a joke, and they have the idea of ​​withdrawing from the world...

"Shadow Seam!" He said it too late but not too soon. After another round of consecutive attacks, Xu Huaishang threw up the "Falling Flower" and made another strange move.

But he saw the sharp knife flying into the air, and suddenly entered a very small space crack. Half a second later, the same crack appeared again at a high place behind Ruoyu, and [Luohua] was unable to escape from that place. It spun around on its own at an angle.

"Sword. Demonic flow..." Ruoyu remained calm as before, raised the original water divine sword with his left hand, and used the magic flow sword style to face the incoming sharp knife; at the same time, his right hand moved again, "Howling in the fierce wind!"

With these two moves, Xu Huaishang, who only had a single sword in his hand, should have been forced back a few points, but he didn't expect...

At this moment, Xu Huaishang actually threw the knife in his right hand into the air, and swung his hands forward quickly, with his jade fingers slightly spread: "Jie Lie Palm, the miasma is cut off!"

Ruoyu really didn't expect that Xu Huaishang, who was accustomed to using two swords... would actually give up his sword and use his palm at this moment.

Not only did she abandon her sword and use her palm, but... she actually imitated Ruo Yu and used two different skills with her left and right hands.

"Good!" In this extreme situation, Ruoyu couldn't help but say good for the other party. Under her cold appearance... a trace of fanatical and belligerent nature has been aroused.

Chiying——

After a strange sound, relying on the power of [Miasma Break], Xu Huaishang's soft and boneless hand... actually firmly grasped the Xuanyuan Sword.

And her other hand... had already slapped Ruoyu in the chest.

At this moment, the wound on Ruoyu's left hand finally opened under the accumulating pressure, and the electric-like stinging made it impossible for her to turn the sword to defend in front of her in time.

So... the palm power of [Jie Lie Palm] hit her chest firmly.

In an instant, Ruoyu felt dizzy and the blood in her chest was completely stagnant.

If she couldn't breathe, she naturally couldn't use her strength... Xu Huaishang's next move was connected...

"Ren Wang... Explosion Kill!" Xu Huaishang thought that this should be the last move he would use.

The people who were watching the battle and the live broadcast also thought that this should be the move that decided the outcome.

But Ruoyu... didn't think so.

"I wanted to save it for the finals..." When Ruoyu was caught in the air by Xu Huaishang, she took a breath and murmured, "... but it's worth using it on you."

Xu Huaishang didn't know what the other party was going to "use", but when she heard it, she felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart...

The time for [Soul Coming] is limited, and there is not much left. Xu Huaishang kept changing his moves to attack in order to avoid the battle being dragged on for five minutes. But now that Ruoyu said this, the situation is not optimistic... Ruoyu is not the type of person like Feng Bujue who likes to bluff. Since she has said this, it must be that she really has a trump card that she has not used.

However, even if she is uneasy, Xu Huaishang's moves have been halfway through... In less than two seconds, Ruoyu will be pressed to the ground by him and bear all the damage of this move. The [Jie Lie Palm] just now has already knocked out more than half of Ruoyu's survival value. She can't bear the damage of [Ren Wang Explosion] without dying.

No matter what... Xu Huaishang has no reason to stop the skill.

However, in those two seconds.

Gulp - Gulp -

A strange sound like bones rubbing and growing came from Ruoyu's skull.

At the same time, a white, plaster-like substance seeped out from the skin on Ruoyu's face, quickly covering most of her head... and solidified into a fierce-looking mask with wing-shaped patterns.

Bang -

Just when this change happened, Xu Huaishang's attack took effect.

The golden shadow of Ren Wang suddenly appeared, blasting a huge pit on the ground...

Under the reaction force of the skill, Xu Huaishang leaned back, flipped, and left the center of the explosion array. [Falling Flowers] and [Flying Catkins] also flew back to her hands at this time.

It seems... she should have won.

But, her eyes... were still fixed on the smoke and dust ahead with a burning gaze. (To be continued...)
