The Old Man and the Monster Chapter 35 Attack and Defense
In fact, the blacksmith calculated correctly, although his series of actions were cracked by Lu Zhong one by one, he bought himself a little time difference, that is, the time for Lu Zhong to rebuild his defense.
At that time, Lu Zhong had no time to regather the rock and soil around him, and the blacksmith's attack was just around the corner, and he wanted to use his strength to guide the rock to rise to protect himself and block the blacksmith's blow, and there was not enough time.
At this critical juncture, Lu Chong's fighting instinct for more than ten years reacted to this more quickly and accurately than Lu Chong himself.
Lu Zhong really didn't have time to gather the rock and soil around him, but he could pull himself towards the earth.
The pillar of rock under Lu Chong's feet sneaked back to the earth, and Lu Zhong also quickly fell, staggering with the blacksmith's attack, and the metal hurricane almost slashed over his head with his hair.
Lu Zhong was dangerous and dangerous, but he avoided the blacksmith's blow just right, which was considered his luck, and it was indeed a helpless risk.
But for the blacksmith, this is not a good thing.
Of course, the blacksmith couldn't let Lu Chong go so easily, Lu Chong's reaction was indeed not expected by the blacksmith, but he reacted quickly, and as soon as Lu Chong moved, he changed and chased after him. The metal controlled by him missed with one blow, and its head was half-aired, like a poisonous scorpion tail thorn falling from the sky, aiming at the top of Lu Chong's head.
Lu Zhong fell, his feet stepped back on the ground, and now he was equal to the earth, and the rock and soil immediately rose with his heart.
The entire ground seemed to suddenly turn into a rough sea, and the huge waves of mud, sand and stones rolled up one after another, cutting through a huge arc, like a half-dome, covering Lu Zhong's head, blocking the second blow that the blacksmith followed.
The blacksmith's offensive finally slowed down, and his series of attacks were broken by Lu Chong's skillful and dangerous way, and the two sides changed from extreme movement to extreme static.
At this moment, although the eyes of the two sides could not directly intersect, they could feel each other's increasingly hot fighting intent.
At this point, both of them were in real anger, and the brief peace between them was immediately broken by both sides at the same time. In the next fight, they no longer had the limited back and forth at the beginning, but countless means together.
The battle between the blacksmith and Lu Zhong became more and more intense, and the two of them almost only had the desire and instinct to fight, and the only reason was that they both remembered Yushiro and the others not far away, and they worked hard to suppress the scope of influence of their abilities.
In addition, the two sides were almost at full capacity, without scruples, and a radius of hundreds of meters was affected by two people, turning the world upside down.
Some of the locals who didn't have time to flee were killed on the spot, and there was no way to escape.
The earth is deformed, the buildings are collapsed, and the mud, sand, stone and soil are gathered together by invisible forces, as if the sky is full of stars, no longer confined to the form, changeable, dancing in mid-air, and finally like a dragon around the pillar, coiled around the body of the land.
At the same time, countless metal products are shattered, and the impurities contaminated by long-term use and discarding collapse, like sharp blades polished by a fine whetstone, and in an instant, they become droplets in the long river of metal. Even the metal elements in the rocky earth are attracted and separated, the rock collapses, turns into powder, and is re-pulled by the land weight, and the separated metal elements are affected by the blacksmith.
From a distance, a long river rises from the ground, splits into two in mid-air, turning into two colors, silver and yellow, each running in opposite directions.
The blacksmith stepped into the air, countless metal fragments so small that they were almost invisible to the naked eye swirled around the blacksmith ring after ring, like thousands of butterflies flapping their wings to support him. Thousands of metal fragments of various sizes shimmer like diamonds in the moonlight, romantic and wonderful, and no one can imagine how much danger and gore is contained in this magical scene.
The blacksmith took a step forward, and the metal fragments instantly converged at his feet, and when he took the second step, the metal fragments that had just gathered together swung like ripples in all directions.
This was repeated until he reached the height of the four-story building, and the blacksmith stopped.
The blacksmith looked at Lu Chong, who was just one level below him.
Lu Zhong did not fight with the blacksmith over such details, and the pillar of sand and earth under his feet flowed slowly, like a living thing.
"Lu Zhong," the blacksmith pointed at his opponent from afar, "Divide the victory and defeat, and determine life and death." ”
As the blacksmith's voice fell, countless metal fragments spread across the night sky like stars, like an army ready to attack.
Lu Chong's face was solemn, in the entire empire, except for the Children of Light, probably no one dared to despise the blacksmith who was determined to live and die.
The blacksmith didn't make any moves, but the attack had already quietly come to Lu Chong.
Countless tiny pieces of metal fell from the sky like exploding sparks, hitting the top of Lu Chong's head.
Lu Zhong was motionless, I don't know when it started, Lu Chong's head had an extra layer of protection composed of rocks, and the metal fragments hit the stones, making a crisp impact sound, bursting with countless sparks, flashing.
Listening to the dense impact sound, Lu Chongmian did not change color.
"This kind of attack can't hurt me," Lu Zhong shouted, not mocking, but stating the facts, "You and I both know this, don't waste any more time." ”
The blacksmith sneered, so what?
Lu Chong's heart suddenly jumped, and he suddenly realized that the parts of his legs and feet were wrapped in something.
Lu Zhong looked down and saw tiny metal spreading up his legs like an ant colony.
It turned out that the attack on the top of Lu Chong's head was originally smoke, and the blacksmith used this to attract some of Lu Chong's attention, but he was secretly carefully manipulating some metal fragments to carry out a sneak attack.
Lu Chong's concentration was preoccupied, his ability was improved to the extreme, his spirit was connected with the mud, sand, soil and stone within the control of his ability, and anything that came into contact with it was within Lu Chong's perception, just like a fish sensing the fluctuations of water.
But in order to avoid Lu Chong's perception, the blacksmith actually used his ability to make the metal fragments that launched the sneak attack move close to the ground, until the stone pillar under Lu Chong's feet floated into the air, silently clinging to Lu Chong, until Lu Zhong realized it just now.
This precise control of power and single-mindedness is the biggest difference between a battle-hardened warrior like a blacksmith and a young man on the left and right.
It was too late for Lu Chong to dodge, the blacksmith just clenched his fist slightly, and the metal fragments that surrounded Lu Chong began to rotate and squeeze inward, like a meat grinder that began to start.
Lu Zhong had already felt the coolness of the metal piercing through the flesh, but he didn't try to dodge, but made a downward pull movement in the air.
The blacksmith was slightly stunned, and at this moment, a huge clay palm rushed out of the ground like a god and demon breaking the seal, grabbed the blacksmith, and then suddenly retracted to the ground, diving deeper.
Losing the blacksmith's control, those knife-like metal shards stopped moving, but they were still stuck in Lu Chong's legs, dripping with blood.
Lu Zhong frowned, some of the fragments were larger, he could pull them out at will, although it looked like flesh and blood were blurred, but it was only skin trauma, and the trouble was those small particles that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, they got into Lu Chong's body, mixed with flesh and blood, and could not be cleaned up with the naked eye alone.
But Lu Zhong didn't have time to take care of these, the moment the blacksmith launched the attack, his attention was highly focused on the two attacks of one virtual and one real, and Lu Zhong used this short moment to instantly break out the sneak attack that had been prepared for a long time.
The blacksmith's attack should have been faster than Lu Chong's, but Lu Chong had already attached a body of mud and sand to the surface of his clothes and pants, and the blacksmith did not notice it at all under the cover of night.
It was with this layer of mud and sand driven by the heavy power of the land that he not only sensed the blacksmith's impending sneak attack in advance, but also blocked the blacksmith's attack at the critical moment for a moment, if it weren't for this, his legs would have been completely shattered at this time.
Of course, Lu Zhong was taking risks, even if he was prepared in advance, the defensive ability of that thin layer of mud and sand was limited after all, and Lu Zhong was still not seriously injured.
But he still won.
In this short moment of lightning, the offense and defense of the two sides completely switched.
The blacksmith was dragged underground, this is Lu Chong's world, he is controlled by others, he can only barely protect himself, his spirit and strength are connected, and he can no longer distract himself from the mind to attack Lu Chong.
At the same time that the blacksmith was held by the giant hand of the rock, the close-fitting scale armor attached to the blacksmith's body immediately reacted to the owner's will, covering the blacksmith's whole body, expanding like a balloon, protecting the blacksmith inside.
Lu Zhong's sneak attack was too sudden, and the time was short, and the blacksmith only had time to do it to this extent before being dragged underground.
At this time, the blacksmith is like a drowning man, the front and back are dark, and he can only perceive the direction by instinct. The earth beneath the ground moved rapidly, wrapping around the blacksmith like aquatic weeds, and pulling him into an abyss that would never see the light of day.
Fortunately, the dense metal scale armor around the blacksmith enveloped the blacksmith like a huge cicada cocoon, so that the blacksmith would not be immediately crushed and suffocated.
But the blacksmith's pressure was still enormous, and he could feel the temptation of Lu Zhong outside the scale armor, first the impact of countless stones, knocking on the outer wall of the scale armor and making a clanging sound. But with the blacksmith's ability, even if the scale armor is only a thin layer, it is difficult to break through with just impact.
Lu Zhong realized this almost immediately, and he immediately changed his strategy and changed from crashing to squeezing.
Lu Zhong and the blacksmith's abilities are equally equal, but now that the blacksmith is in his world, he wants to use the rock and soil that is heavier than a thousand pounds to crush each other alive.
At the same time, Tang Tang and Yushiro are almost simultaneously aware of the upheaval taking place around them.
Both sides were looking for an opportunity to break the deadlock, and no one expected that this opportunity would come from a third party.
