Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Bitter Battle
The unknown is the most frightening. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the unknown becomes known, the fear dissipates.
Seeing Zhang Jiao appear in front of him, everyone looked at his grinning appearance and understood that the final decisive battle had begun.
As Zhang Jiao raised the staff in his hand, Zhang Fei, Susan, and Li Qin also each raised their weapons and rushed towards Zhang Jiao.
Susan's speed was faster, and she rushed to the front of everyone at once, and the dagger in her hand glowed with a faint blue light, bringing an arc.
Half a step behind her, Zhang Fei followed closely. The snake spear in his hand stood in a line, and the silver blade was faintly wrapped in an orange-red flame, like a giant python opening its bloody mouth and slashing towards Zhang Jiao's head.
And Li Qin, his speed is even slower. Although the three of them started at the same time, in an instant, he was already more than one position behind Zhang Fei. He didn't have the idea of following in Zhang Fei's footsteps and paying his tail. So, after realizing that he was the slowest of the crowd, he simply changed direction and ran to the right rear side of Zhang Jiao with an axe, trying to threaten Zhang Jiao's safety from behind.
At the moment when Zhang Jiao appeared, Zhang Fei, Li Qin, and Sophie did not communicate with each other, and launched an attack on Zhang Jiao at the same time.
Apparently, both sides have the idea of striking first.
It's just that compared to Li Qin's dignified and all-out attack, Zhang Jiao's face was crazy and indifferent.
There was no superfluous movement, facing the snake spear blade that was about to touch his body and the blue dagger that was as agile as a swimming dragon, Zhang Jiao did not avoid or block, he just raised his staff, and then poked down in various ways.
The wooden staff poked into the thick fog on the ground, and a huge momentum burst out from Zhang Jiao's body.
The "boom ......" air wave is discharged, with the angle as the center of gravity, spreading out in all directions. Circles of ripples rippled, like rows of monstrous waves slamming towards Li Qin and the others who rushed towards him.
"Damn......" Li Qin scolded secretly.
When the air wave came, he first felt that the air in front of him had turned into a film and wrapped around his body, making it difficult for him to breathe. And the ensuing strong wind turned this film into a sail, which was very strong. Dao Dao swept through his body with a strong air current. The pull of various forces slowed Li Qin's movements.
Of course, Li Qin knew that if he retreated, he would definitely turn such sluggishness into smoothness, but what was the use of such smoothness?
Retreated, but it was getting farther and farther away from Zhang Jiao.
Li Qin is not an archer, he is so far away, how can he deal with Zhang Jiao.
What to do? Li Qin sailed against the current, still struggling forward.
Not only that, but so did Zhang Fei and Susan. Even though they all felt bad in their hearts and guessed that this wave of offensive was likely to be fruitless, they still had no idea of retreating.
However, the air waves are getting stronger.
No matter how hard they tried, the two other than Zhang Fei were still helpless to retreat step by step under the strength of Qi Lang. As for Zhang Fei, he can't move forward now. With his strength, although he can't be blown back, he can only rely on the residence of the snake spear to stabilize his figure.
The waves of qi hit wave after wave, and Li Qin and the others gritted their teeth and persevered. They desperately tried to get close to Zhang Jiao, but in the end they couldn't do anything.
Under their grief and indignation, Zhang Jiao completed his transformation: countless gray mist wound upwards around his body along the wooden staff in his hand, and finally turned into a rather gorgeous set of dark gold armor.
The appearance of the armor is very hideous. A fully enclosed visor was embedded in the dark gold helmet, and underneath it was a cloak shaped like a feather coat, enveloping his upper body.
Beneath the cloak is a sturdy suit of armor. The cuirass is in the form of plate armor, condensed into one piece. And the abdominal armor was stacked in a row like a scale armor - the combination of plate armor and scale armor gave his body good protection, and the downward waist span also formed a similar appearance to a battle skirt, hanging down lightly, protecting his thighs.
Beneath the scale-lined battle skirt are leggings that resemble plate armor. It is completely wrapped from the thighs to form three pieces: the thighs, knee pads, and calves, but the lower limbs of Zhang Jiao are wrapped in the armor.
And Zhang Jiao's upper limbs are also protected by the same as his lower limbs, but unlike the lower limbs that pursue complete defense, Zhang Jiao's upper limbs have sharp spurs like sharp blades on their wrists and elbows, which makes people doubt that such armor also has considerable attack power.
"What a weird armor. But it still looks pretty good. The battle armor condensed by Zhang Jiao appeared in front of everyone for the first time, Zhang Fei frowned slightly, and made a low evaluation.
"Yes, yes—both the sturdiness of plate armor and the agility of scales." Li Qin nodded in praise. It's just that in addition to the praise, he still has some doubts in his heart: "Did the plate armor spread to the East at this time?" Not really! I remember that at this time, the West didn't even have a prototype of plate armor! Is it ......?"
Li Qin wanted to look at Susan with a little talent, but when he saw Susan at this time, he was already shocked. Apparently she was surprised by Zhang Jiao's outfit.
"Isn't it the troublemakers of these veterans?" Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt strange again: "But, what is going on?" How did this Zhang Jiao come up with such an advanced set of equipment. ”
Li Qin was puzzled by this.
But soon, he didn't need to think about it. Because Zhang Jiao has already attacked.
"Whoosh ......" roared violently from far and near, and Li Qin only felt a black shadow swooping towards him.
He instinctively lifted the tomahawk in his hand, and only made a blocking posture, and then felt a strong blow on the tomahawk, and then a sharp pain came from his abdomen.
"What?" At this moment, Li Qin was able to sort out Zhang Jiao's movements:
At first, he wanted to use it, and his left hand was to blow his head, but fortunately he was blocked by the wide axe in his hand. The sharp thorn in his wrist poked hard at his giant axe, and the huge force of the two blows shook his palms numbly, and the tiger's mouth was in severe pain, but after all, he did not break the defense of the sharp thorn.
However, he stopped Zhang Jiao's left hand, but not Zhang Jiao's right hand. At this time, Zhang Jiao's right hand had already hit his abdomen hard, and the three-inch-long spikes at his wrist pierced the defense of the leather armor in his abdomen, mercilessly poking into his body.
The furious force penetrated through his body, and while stirring up Li Qin's stomach under his belly, he also knocked him away, pulling cold spikes out of his body.
"Boom!" Li Qin's body, along with the giant axe that he was holding tightly, was punched by Zhang Jiao and flew two feet away, and fell heavily to the ground, making a heavy noise.
"It's too fast!" Li Qin, who endured the severe pain, raised his head with difficulty, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said such a sentence weakly.
At this time, Zhang Jiao was already with Zhang Feidou.
I don't know if it was because of this armor that he lost the ability to hide in the gray mist with a stand-in of the rune paper, but in short, he didn't disappear again after this attack, but turned around. Just caught up with the snake spear that Zhang Fei poked over.
"Huh......" The snake spear crossed the air and poked Zhang Fei's head.
Zhang Jiao deflected his head, and the blade of the snake spear passed over the side of his head. A scorching red breath streaked across his helmet, leaving no trace on it.
The snake spear passed, Zhang Jiao leaned sideways, held the rod of Zhang Fei's snake spear with his right hand, and slashed it flat along the spear shaft with his left hand. It didn't look like an attack at all, it looked like a spear stroke.
But Zhang Fei did not doubt the power of Zhang Jiao's gentle stroke. He was sure that if he had cut his finger for the other party, if not directly, it would be a twisted fracture.
Because Zhang Fei saw a blue light flashing under Zhang Jiao's wrist.
"Humph! Want to cut off my fingers...... Is it that easy? Zhang Fei snorted angrily, a glint flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the snake spear shook like this, and an invisible dark energy emitted, making the entire snake spear tremble at an extremely high frequency.
"Smack...... Syllable! Only two soft sounds were heard, Zhang Jiao snorted coldly, took a step back, and immediately lowered his head.
A piece of silver light wrapped in red light swept over his head, whistling and waving his hand from front to back, it was Zhang Fei's blow that rolled back the snake spear.
Zhang Jiao dodged the blow and was about to step forward, but he stopped abruptly. He waved his elbow and struck backwards, only to hear the sound of "poof......", and a petite body, spitting blood from its mouth, flew out upside down, fell to the floor a foot away, and fell on his back, unconscious.
Li Qin turned his head to look and saw that the person was Susan. She just wanted to sneak up on Zhang Jiao, but she didn't want Zhang Jiao's elbow to be so powerful, and hit her a little more than an inch above her left chest, and Bo Bo's blood flowed out of the wound, and soon stained a large part of her clothes.
"It stands to reason that you won't be unconscious! After all, it's not much of a point there. Li Qin gritted his teeth and stood up in embarrassment. Although the pain in his stomach was still very intense, as a man, he could not watch his partner fight to the death while he could not do anything about it.
So, Li Qin got up. He abandoned his heavy battle axe and pulled out his best weapons, two triangular thorns with deep blood grooves, from his personal space.
This is called the most inhumane cold weapon by later generations, and it is an imitation made of titanium alloy by Li Qin in order to survive in the last days of the later generations.
Although it is an imitation, its material and shape are improved from the original: it is longer and wider than the original, and although it weighs about the same as the original, its toughness and strength are much better than the original because of the use of titanium alloy.
Li Qin once used these two military thorns to harvest the "lives" of more than a thousand zombies in the last days, and made a lot of reputation for himself.
At this time, Li Qin held a pair of daggers in his hands, and his face was resolute in defeat. His appearance looks terrible, but both Zhang Fei and Zhang Jiao can feel that he seems to be much more dangerous than Fang Cai now.
"What's going on?" Zhang Jiao's eyes widened.
Zhang Fei also had a lot of confusion in his heart. However, in the current situation, it seems that the more powerful Li Qin is, the better it will be for himself.
