Chapter 171: Immortals and Ghosts (Part II)
At this moment, it was the best time for Yanhua of the Fire to escape, hidden behind the cherry trees.
The two in front of her were focused on the battle, and even if she slipped away quietly, she might not be able to notice it. Even if he detects it, he will be hindered by the strong enemy in front of him, and he will not be able to do anything with her.
However, she did not run away.
She was fascinated by the battle in front of her, and even a blink of an eyelid would be a waste of time. The pair of feet, whose roots were generally rooted in the ground, would not help her escape.
She only felt that the worldview that she had built up over the years that followed the common sense of science was gradually falling apart with the actions of the two people in front of her. She had long forgotten about running away, even about life and death, and was just mechanically accepting the information her eyes had captured.
Nalan Twilight is the main attacking side, while Ibaraki Hua Fan is tired of defending.
Despite the apparent distinction between offense and defense, the two sides are evenly matched. Nalan Twilight flickered around, looking for an opportunity to make a move, while Hua Fan was poised to strike, brewing a one-time, deadly counterattack.
The ground beneath their feet had been cracked into a large rubble-like shard, like the wreckage of an earthquake. In the entire Wuyuanzuka, there is not even a flat soil anymore - that is the power of Hua Fan's punch.
With Nalan Yu's strength, it was easy to step on the ground, and it was not difficult to tear the steel plate by hand, but Hua Fan's punch was enough to shatter everything within the field of vision, and he couldn't even leave an inch of foothold.
This is the difference between the "power of monsters" and the "power of ghosts and gods", and it is also the fundamental reason why Nalan Hao did not dare to approach rashly. Although the physical abilities of vampires are excellent, once they encounter monsters that are more powerful than themselves, they often can't come up with too good countermeasures.
After all, when magic is not available, a knife must be stabbed into the enemy's body in order to win. And how to get to this point is a very technical job. The previous provocations, ridicule, and even exposing Hua Fan's true identity were just psychological warfare fought to disrupt Hua Fan's mind.
"The front is coming!"
Nalan Yu shouted this, but went around to the side of the Hua Fan and launched a surprise attack. And Hua Fan didn't fall for him, turned around, and swung a punch at his face, although he failed to hit, he successfully forced Nalan Yu back.
"Hmm!"
Nalan Yu rubbed his eyes that were blown by the wind pressure of Hua Fan's punch, and said:
"It's not leaking, Sister Immortal!"
"One another, one another!"
Hua Fan responded with a straight face.
Although Nalan Yu closed his eyes and looked flawed, Hua Fan did not rush to pursue. She knew that this was clearly a flaw that the other party deliberately sold to her, a trap, and once she stepped into it, it would be an abyss.
Nalan saw that she was always not fooled, and there was no good way, so she had to start a new round of guerrillas. At this time, the two of them were wasting their physical strength, so that the other party would show fatigue one step ahead of them, and then seize the mistake and defeat the enemy with one blow.
The terrifying power of Hua Fan, Nalan Twilight's cutting ability, both of them have an absolute killer feature, and they both have the ability to knock down the opponent with one move, it depends on who can play this move.
That's when the turning point came dramatically.
"Stop, if I want to hit him, I have to stop him. Hua Fan stared at Nalan Hao's every move, and said in his heart, "His strange speed is not like something that can be achieved by physical ability alone, what kind of mystery is hidden in this?"
At this time, Hua Fan noticed a detail that she had previously ignored.
It was a rather subtle little action: before each "teleportation", Nalan Twilight would quickly flick the index finger of his right hand. Sometimes he hides his hands behind his back, sometimes he hides them with his sleeves, sometimes he hides the past with some larger movements, but in any case, as long as he is still using that strange way of moving, he is bound to make this gesture.
It is this action that answers all the doubts of Hua Fan.
"I see!" Hua Fan thought to himself, "This makes sense! The key to this guy's teleportation is blood!"
It's blood, that's right, every time Nalan Yu pops out with his fingers, it's not something else, but a small drop, his own blood. Through targeted and careful observation, Hua Fan found that this guy would always release a little blood from the capillaries at the end in advance, gathering on his fingertips, and the moment he bounced the blood droplets away, he would suddenly disappear, and then, accurately, appeared on the landing point of the blood droplets.
Although I don't know what the principle of this trick is, how it works, Hua Fan is already clear. The rest is to break the trick.
And there's really nothing difficult about that.
"Since it uses blood as an introduction, its range must not be too far, and once it is intercepted, it will ......"
While thinking in his heart, Hua Fan stretched out his hand and pointed at Nalan Yu, and said loudly:
"Listen to the vampire, next, I will launch a strong attack on you from the front and finish you out with one blow!"
"Hehe, what does this look like?" Nalan Yu stood not far in front of her and smiled, "So, how about I dodge your fist first, and then launch a sneak attack from behind?"
"Come on, vampire, let me see if my fist is fast, or if you're fast!"
"Ladies first, Sister Immortals!"
Seeing that the other party still refused to make the first move, Hua Fan was also unceremoniously, and forced in front of Nalan Yu in three or two steps, clenched his fists, and hit him in the chest, striking an overwhelming blow.
She didn't keep her hand, nor did she leave any room for herself to retreat, just really fight. Even though she knew that the punch was impossible, she poured all her strength into her fist.
She wants to fake the show and make Nalan Hao believe that she is real, so she must not leave behind. Only by using his life as a bargaining chip and throwing it on the gambling table can Hua Fan have the possibility of winning this gamble.
"Come on, vampire, just use your filthy little tricks to plot against me!" Hua Fan roared inwardly.
As she expected, Nalan flicked her finger a moment before she was hit. Normally, in the next moment, he would appear in the absolute blind corner of the Hua Fan and give her a fatal blow.
In fact, he did disappear for a moment, but when he reappeared, the position he was in was still in front of Hua Fan.
"I've got one!"
Before being smashed into his heart by Hua Fan's fist, Nalan Yu only had time to let out a cry full of incomprehension and consternation. Like a cannonball, his body twisted and flew upside down, hitting several cherry trees along the way, and finally smashing into a solid rock wall, leaving a crack like a spider's web.
Nalan slowly slid down the rock wall, rubbing a trail of blood. He sat limply on the ground, his head hanging down, his eyes glazed over, and his face bloodless. His mouth was dripping with blood, staining the placket red, and a large piece of his chest was very unnaturally sunken, and the broken ribs pierced his shirt and showed it, which was extremely horrible to look at.
"The winner is decided!"
Hua Fan put away his posture, took a breath, and shouted with great momentum.
"Ahem...... Ahem!"
Nalan Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood from his throat, and then said rather weakly:
"It turns out that the one you used...... It's demonic power......"
The yin and yang jade pendant on his chest flashed with dazzling white light, reflecting Nalan Du's smile extremely miserable. He always planted on the same move, whether the opponent was Reimu or Radu III, as long as he used this inexplicable magical energy, Nalan Twilight would always be deflated.
"yes, it's demonic. ”
Hua Fan was not afraid of anything, and directly said the secret of his victory:
"I don't know what your abilities are, but your teleportation trick is done by blood, right? So, as long as I build a wall of demonic power in front of me and intercept the drop of blood used to guide the way, won't I be able to seal you completely?"
"Indeed...... Ahem...... Hehehe......"
Nalan barely straightened up, raised his head, and coughed up blood as he spoke, looking like he was really dying. If he wasn't a vampire, he would have died a long time ago, and even with the perverted regeneration ability of a vampire, it would be impossible for him to pose any threat to Hua Fan in a short period of time.
"Indeed, as you say...... Uh-huh......" Nalan said with difficulty, "This battle, the winner has been divided ......"
"After all, the one who wins ......" Nalan Twilight gave a thumbs up and pointed at himself, "It's still me Nalan Twilight!"
"What?"
Hearing this, coupled with Nalan Twilight's miserable white, but confident smile like a real winner, Hua Fan knew that something was wrong. She lifted her foot and took a step forward, and suddenly there was an electric shock-like crisis sensation, which made her immediately withdraw her front foot that had just landed without thinking about it.
Then, to her horror, she found that the shoe on that foot had turned into dozens of pieces that had slipped off her instep. If only her reaction had been half a beat slower...... This foot probably no longer exists, right?
"What the hell did you do?"
Hua Fan stood in place, shocked and angry. If she could, she would definitely go and lift Nalan Yu up and beat her up, but right now, she couldn't move an inch.
"I didn't ...... Nothing serious. Nalan Yu wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve and said slowly, "You are very keen, really very keen, and you realize that I rely on blood drops to activate my abilities, which is worthy of praise." But you don't know, that's not all I'm capable of. ”
"My ability to divide into two parts, connect, cut off. Anything my body touches, I can activate it. And blood is a part of my 'body', so you probably understand, right? That's right, those blood droplets that I bounced with my fingers not only guided me to the end of the spatial connection, but more importantly, they drew a line of blood that was indiscernible to the naked eye on the way to flight!"
"Every drop of blood pops out, there is an extra line around you. In this way, you have been surrounded by the thread of my blood until now. You are like a butterfly in a spider's web, dying and struggling. No matter how you plan to fight back, I can always get ahead of you and cut you into pieces with that bloodline, like this!"
As he spoke, Nalan Twilight stretched out his finger and swiped lightly in the air. At the same time, Hua Fan's right hand, which was made of bandages, shattered into countless rags with a "bang" under her nose, and fluttered down like feathers.
Her "hand" was shredded by some kind of "power", some kind of power that could not be seen, touched, or explained, but it was actually there, and it was extremely powerful.
"Admittedly, I don't have the strength to fight you anymore. Speaking of this, Nalan Yu smiled softly, "But at this point, it doesn't take much effort to defeat you." ”
"In the end, I'm still calculated by you......"
At this point, Hua Fan really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, only to move her body was something she could never do. This feeling of being pinched in the palm of someone's hand is really uncomfortable.
"Actually," Nalan said, "your body has touched several lines. If I wanted to kill you, it would be just in the blink of an eye, but I didn't, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I suddenly felt that a strong man like you was exactly what I needed!"
Nalan Yu said, holding his knees, bracing his body, and slowly stood up. He raised his head, grinned toothily, and said:
"It's all here, why don't you have a drink? I'm in for a treat, how about it?"
