Chapter 209: Storm Knight – Stinger
The Temple of Icewind is located southeast of the Arctic Ice Field, hidden in a majestic snowy peak hundreds of meters high. To Luo Ning's surprise, the Ice Wind Temple was not as tall and grand as he imagined, and the gate of the temple built against the mountain only had a simple carved triangular eaves and two dilapidated pillars covered with ice, which was nothing compared to the common temples on the mainland.
Luo Ning and the two stepped onto the last layer of frost-wrapped stone steps, stood in front of the two heavy iron gates, and looked up at the text in the middle of the triangular eaves: "Ice Wind Temple!"
He sighed in a low voice, "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that the temple left by the wind god Neod on the Lost Continent was actually such an ordinary building. ”
Before Luo Ning could finish speaking, two long iron doors opened from them, and a tall knight wearing ice blue armor and carrying a sword and shield behind him walked out of it. The knight, who was half a head taller than Ronin, had short brown hair, a short beard on his chin, and his facial lines were as sharp as a knife and axe. A cold wind blew from the side, and a few crystalline snowflakes fell and stuck to his eyebrows and eyelashes, but the knight didn't even blink an eye, as if it was not a human but a rock statue standing in front of them.
"Excuse me......" Luo Ning didn't know what the other party meant, and pressed the hilt of the Storm Demon Sword with his right hand.
At this moment, Karen suddenly nodded and released the Ice Demon Eagle from the astral plane. Although this big guy has only rested for half a day, perhaps because of the skyrocketing of Karen's magic cultivation, most of the injuries on its body have been healed after it appeared, but a little fatigue can still be seen in its gestures, and its fur color looks slightly dull.
"Ronin, this is the Storm Knight who guarded the temple with me, Stinger! Stinger, this is Ronin who has received the legacy of the Zealot, next to his friend Miss Karen Miller. ”
"Storm Knight?"
Ronin saw the inverted triangle in the center of the cuirass and recalled the story of this mysterious genre. Legend has it that the knights of this school practiced a special type of fighting qi called "Storm Fighting Qi". This fighting spirit is practiced to a certain extent, and it can summon hurricanes and thunder to attack enemies during battle. And the top Storm Knight can even turn part of his body into a storm thundercloud in a very short time, dodging the deadly attacks of the enemy.
Stinger's gaze was cold and calm: "Yes, I am the Hurricane Rider. You say he's a fanatic?"
Stinger locked his gaze firmly on Luo Ning's face, and after a while, a brilliant sword light of ice blue suddenly erupted between the two, but it was Stinger who broke out coldly without saying hello and launched an attack on Luo Ning.
"Beware!" Ronin pushed Karen away, drawing his sword to meet Stinger's attack. Only two dense and crisp loud sounds of "bells" were heard, and the light blue ring light curtain like water waves swayed layer by layer. Stinger failed to succeed with two consecutive swords, and was forced to retreat by Ronin with a flaw swinging his sword, stepping back on the frozen ground and ice, and standing still in front of a rock a few meters away.
Karen asked urgently, "Ice Demon Eagle, what's going on?!Why did that guard attack Luo Ning!"
The Ice Demon Eagle lowered his head and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, respected master!" ”
Karen said angrily: "No malice? Take a good look, this is called no malice?!"
It turned out that during this period, Ronin and Stinger's figures were suddenly separated and separated, and they fought fast and had as many as seventeen or eighteen swords. In the first few swords, no matter how much effort Stinger used to attack from which angle, Luo Ning could always easily swing a sword to defuse it, and the posture looked like an old master who had been immersed in swordsmanship for decades was training a hairy boy who had just started for a few days.
After a few more swords, Stinger seemed to be enraged. Every time he swung out his sword, a fierce purple thunder would shine across the surface of the blade, flying towards Luo Ning along with the sword, forcing him not to dare to make a hard connection from the front, and could only dodge around the thunder sword qi. These purple thunderbolts are exactly one of the killer moves of the Hurricane Flow Sword Technique, the Sword of Thunder.
On the surface, Stinger is indeed fast and aggressive, and Ronin is extremely embarrassed to dodge, but only Stinger himself understands that the actual situation is simply reversed: every sword light that Stinger swings can be blocked by Ronin just right from the palm of his body. As for those purple thunderbolts, they were even more eerie and disappeared the moment they touched the Storm Demon Sword. So for Ronin, Stinger's attacks were completely ineffective from start to finish, more like a set of broadcast gymnastics to help him stretch his muscles.
The movements of the two are dizzyingly fast, and it is of course difficult for outsiders to see that they are tired. However, compared with the first few moves, the gap between before and after seems to be extremely obvious. Even if Karen doesn't know swordsmanship, she can see that Stinger's moves have become more ferocious, definitely not like a fight, more like trying to kill Ronin.
The Ice Demon Eagle was also curious about why his companion took the initiative to make trouble, and shrank his head and didn't know how to answer his master. At this moment, Stinger, who had been attacking and beating fiercely, suddenly pulled back, put his sword into the sheath, and still stared at Luo Ning without saying a word, making the latter a little hairy, and thought that Stinger had some special thoughts about himself.
The two sides remained silent, and after such a stalemate for a while, like a stone wall that had collapsed little by little after being eroded by the wind and sand, Stinger suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed.
He is one of the most loyal followers of the god Ammon. The strength of the fanatics is indeed as extraordinary as the legend says!"
"Thanks for the compliment!" Luo Ning secretly called a fluke. Nine times out of ten, the swordsmanship moves he used just now came from the "Son of the Dragon" Xiudun who existed in the form of a soul body in Gutenberg. If it weren't for his careful teaching, with his White Night Flow Sword Technique, which was far from enough fire, how could he have fought with the dignified Storm Knight unless he opened it directly?
Stinger turned to the Ice Eagle, "Ice Eagle, what are your intentions in bringing them to the temple?
"That's good!" the Ice Demon Eagle let out a loud and clear cry, and its body suddenly shrank to more than two meters tall.
"I'm sure Karen is the one in Master Niod's oracle!" he told Stinger about Karen's three ultimate forbidden spells from the ancient books of magic.
Stinger pondered for a moment: "What about the ancient book?"
Ronin took out the ancient book and handed it to Stinger. The latter nodded, turned and walked towards the temple: "Come in with me!"
The trio and an eagle passed through the pillars and disappeared into the two iron doors that closed on their own.
