53. If you can't win, you shouldn't fight

Li Nian, who was watching from the sidelines, came to a conclusion, and the battle was over.

Lumia nodded slightly, and as soon as her mind moved, all the "darkness" suddenly retracted into her body, and the wind blew the corners of her clothes, but it disappeared cleanly at once, as if it had never appeared.

"Ahem...... Ahem, ahem."

Kagura struggled to crawl out of the pit, holding on to the floor and coughing loudly, looking in pain.

Huangquan was even more straightforward, he didn't climb out anymore, he just lay down in a big character to rest, too lazy to move.

Their bodies were tired and aching.

Lumia felt a little embarrassed to see their embarrassed appearance, and the dusty dojo in front of her, where the floor was broken and scattered.

"It seems like we've gone too far."

"Nope." Li Nian walked up to her and said, "It's enough to pay attention to proportion. Anyway, thank you. ”

"Nothing."

Lumia shrugged, looking unimpressed, the victory didn't bring her much pleasure, and it wasn't something to boast about.

Li Nian looked at her like that, not to mention the injury, not a drop of sweat flowed out, and she didn't seem to have consumed any physical strength, it is estimated that Lumia did not use any strength at all.

It's also to be expected.

Look over to Kagura and Yellow Spring.

It was an unequal battle, and the outcome was obvious from the start.

No matter how talented a rookie exorcist is, the accumulation is not enough, and it is impossible to compare with the big monsters who have lived for hundreds of years.

Not to mention the more ethereal things like combat experience, the most basic specifications are different.

Every time Kagura and Huang Quan swung their swords, Rumia probably saw it and saw it clearly, so there was no reason why it couldn't be stopped.

They couldn't even break through the defenses, not even shake the darkness.

But Lumia's "darkness" is actually not so tough, at least not in Li Nian's opinion.

It's not that the power is at hand, but that the "darkness" is really not enough to be called a tough thing in the level they belong to, but at best it is flexible.

If it is the same bamboo knife and let Li Nianlai wield it, not to mention the "darkness" that Lumia has not seriously manipulated, even if she really dispatches seriously and goes all out, she will definitely not be able to stop it so briskly.

But Li Nian is Li Nian, and Huang Quan and Kagura's swinging knives are certainly not as good as him.

They didn't swing their knives fast enough, and they weren't strong enough,

So Huang Quan and Kagura have never been able to find a chance.

Nor will they find a chance.

They don't have a chance.

"It feels like I haven't warmed up yet."

As soon as Li Nian said this, Lumia showed an embarrassed expression and muttered.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not really. ”

She was worried about the two sisters' thoughts.

Li Nian didn't think about it and said lightly.

"What else is humble? Seniors should be like seniors, and the big monster is not an opponent they can deal with, so they were meant to inform this...... If you think that all the big monsters are as easy to talk as you are, and you can't be vigilant when you see you later, that's the worst situation. ”

He didn't deliberately lower his voice, the echoes in the dojo were clear, Huang Quan and Kagura naturally heard and understood, Kagura who was lying on the ground raised his head, looked at Li Nian's indifferent expression, and nodded breathlessly.

"I ...... I got ......."

She has always been an open-minded attitude of seeking advice, she has always felt that she has not done enough, she feels that she is still too weak, and she feels very frankly that Lumia is really strong.

Huang Quan suddenly jumped up violently, jumped out of the pit at once, and landed steadily.

She was also covered in sweat, her breathing was messy, and she was not in a good state, at this time she looked at Li Nian, but frowned, and said with a little sorrow.

"If it's a spirit knife......

She said half of it, but suddenly stopped talking.

Li Nian looked at Huang Quan, with a little more banter on his face.

"What's wrong? Eager to win? ”

Indeed, if you make this kind of statement at this time, it will naturally have a little sour taste, and it seems that you can't afford to lose.

Huang Quan gritted his teeth irritably, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his heart a little, and then admitted frankly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Indeed, I can't beat Miss Lumia with or without changing the spirit knife. ”

Thinking about it carefully, she also knew that Lumia didn't do her best, she was sparing, and she was defeated like that, and there was nothing to say about it.

Li Nian stretched out his hand to her.

"Bring the bamboo knife. I'll tell you why you can't beat it. ”

Huang Quan threw the bamboo knife over to see what he could say.

Li Nian took it, held it in his hand, weighed it twice, squinted at Lumia, and said suddenly.

"Rumia, get ready to defend, I'm going to attack."

"What?"

Lumia was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Li Nian had already raised the bamboo knife, swung the knife over his shoulder, and obviously made a starting hand to wave it down, and immediately exclaimed.

"Huh? Wait......! ”

But Li Nian didn't wait for her, and directly waved the bamboo knife the next moment.

The clear trajectory of swinging the knife, Lumia instantly judged clearly, subconsciously summoned the darkness, and the surging out condensed and blocked the trajectory, instantly turning into a thick shield, and at the same time, Lumia also raised her arm, shrunk her body, and her body also made a defensive posture.

A horizontal arc of light flashed and struck the condensed darkness,

There was a muffled "thump".

The sound of creaking against the floor, Lumia's whole person moved in the opposite direction for nearly a meter.

Kagura's "oh" mouth opened wide.

"It's amazing......"

Huang Quan also raised his eyebrows.

Li Nian waved a knife casually, and took the results that Huangquan and Kagura had not been able to achieve.

He put down the bamboo knife and pointed at Lumia.

"At least that power."

Lumia kneaded her sore arm and said with a wry smile.

"Suddenly, it's cut over......"

The dark shield condensed next to her was obviously deformed inward, and it was dented by the blow at the beginning, and it really couldn't resist all the strength, and in the end, she still had to use her arm to bear a considerable part of the remaining impact, so the body of the blow was displaced.

"Just be a demonstration, don't mind, just tell them that this is an effective attack."

After speaking, Li Nian stretched out his hand and stroked the bamboo knife, untied the blessing technique, and in the next moment, the bamboo knife fell apart and fell to the ground.

Most of the impact is absorbed by the weapon, and the material of the bamboo knife cannot withstand such an excessive toss even if it is blessed with the technique.

Lumia shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and seeing that Li Nian obviously didn't plan to cut off the second knife, she also withdrew the darkness into her body.

Regarding Li Nian's so-called explanation, Huang Quan pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Yes, I know you're the best, but what are you deliberately showing? Knowing that we can't do it, isn't it a little bit of reference value? ”

"What reference value do you want? I'm telling you, don't try to defeat a big youkai if you can't do it to this extent. ”

"If you can't defeat it, won't you fight?"

"Why fight if you can't win?"

"Do you want to stand and wait to be killed?"

"You can run away and call for help."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Huang Quan obviously didn't agree with this statement, and stared at Li Nian stubbornly, as if he wanted to make his eyes tell him to retract this sentence.

Li Nian shook his head amusedly.

"How old are you, you don't need to say much about this kind of truth, right?"

Kagura looked at Huang Quan worriedly.

"Sister Huang Quan."

She felt that what Li Nian said was right.

Even if he seems cowardly, what Li Nian said is a correct theory that cannot be refuted, fighting strong with weak is not the same as hitting a stone with an egg, and a battle without seeing the chance of victory is meaningless.

This is common sense, and it is also the truth that their elders have warned them.

Huang Quan realized that he was just fighting like this, and he looked very stupid and naΓ―ve, so he gave up insistence, closed his eyes, covered his forehead and said tiredly.

"You're right, if you can't beat it, you have to run."

Huang Quan has always had a strong side in his heart, Li Nian knew that she had been hit at this time, and reminded her.

"Don't compare yourself to Lumia, it doesn't make sense."

Lumia comforts her as well.

"Miss Isayama, please don't be discouraged, you have done a good job just now, don't look at me like this, in fact, I am really strong......"

"Yes, Miss Lumia is really strong...... There's really nothing to say, God and I are happy to work harder...... Ahh

Huang Quan suddenly shouted to himself, and then angrily walked up to Li Nian and slapped him on the shoulder.

"It's all your fault for making it so unpleasant!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Li Nian knew that this was called the Hate Transfer Method.

"So you're going to have to compensate us for breakfast! Did you hear that? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Whatever you say, it's fine. ”

"Hmph, it's good to know, take responsibility for repairing the house and then go get food...... I'll go take a shower first! ”

After speaking, he walked past him angrily and walked out of the dojo.

Kagura hurriedly got up from the ground to catch up.

"Wait, Sister Huangquan...... Mr. Lee? ”

"It's true that there are no other arrangements, you make it look like this, go take a shower and change your clothes, this morning's practice is over."

"Yes, thank you for your advice."

She bowed to the two of them before chasing Huang Quan away.

They were gone, and Lumia looked at Li Nian.

Mr. Lee...... Is it really good to make it like this? ”

"I wanted you to come and assist them in their cultivation guidance in the future, so I asked you to show off your abilities...... I know what you're worried about, it's always good to let them know more, it's no longer a child who needs to be supported by hand, and a lot of truth needs to be thought of by themselves. ”

Li Nianyi closed his palms and sealed, and began to unfold the technique and carry out the repair work of the dojo.

It was just a retrospective of the state of the dead object, and the broken wooden blocks were pulled back to their original positions, spliced and glued to each other, and the repair was completed in minutes, so that the floor of the dojo was restored to its original state.

Li Nian untied the technique and put down his hands.

"Let's go."
