Bang -

The sound of the two weapons colliding was beyond imagination, and a small piece of debris scraped out of Red Lotus's ice blade, and then collided with Qingxi's long sword, sliding out along the blade, and quickly separated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Red Lotus's sword is made of a special material made of ice crystal casting and ore melting, although the hardness is higher than that of ordinary common weapons, but it is still a little worse than the simple long sword of Qing Xi. When you rub the thinnest blades against each other, you can clearly see the fine particles of the ice blades scraped off.

However, this thing has no real effect on the Ice Blade, and this small damage will soon condense and form again, as if there was no damage. Unless sufficiently traumatic at one time, minor injuries are within acceptable limits for normal use.

Although the hardness is not as hard as the long sword of the Qing Dynasty, it is much more flexible than the long sword when used in this environment.

It's a dungeon, a small, enclosed environment, and not only that, but there are other objects in the room that make the space even more crowded.

As the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong, but that is true when it can be used. In the current environment, weapons that are too narrow can be wielded very crampedly, even in the case of Qing Rituals.

It's just that whether this negative effect can close the gap between the two is another matter.

"When did it start?" Qing Xi was able to block the attack of the Red Lotus, and Shi Shiran asked, as if nothing special had happened.

Red Lotus's sword is much lighter than that of the long sword, and it is obviously more free to retract in this environment. The ice blade had been unleashing chill from the moment it was unsheathed, and after a few rounds of confrontation between the two, it now gave the impression that the temperature of the room had been lowered.

The red lotus pressed a knife against Qing Xi's long sword, and looked at Qing Xi expressionlessly. She didn't seem to have any more thoughts about aiming for the Qing Rite, as if her opponent was a normal enemy, but this time she was facing a difficult opponent. Although the current Qing Ritual is not as comfortable as before, it has not revealed more flaws, and Honglian clearly understands that although she is in an offensive position, she does not have any advantage.

Qing Xi seemed to be in a hurry to parry, but in fact there was no problem, at least there was no difficulty in maintaining this defensive stance. Even if the weapon is limited in this environment, it still has a significant level advantage.

"The ...... of the League of Assassins," Red Lotus finally answered Qingxi's question in a low voice. She still needs a little time to figure it out. Although she herself didn't want to fight head-on with Qing Ci if she had the opportunity, the situation didn't allow her to think too much. It's not so easy to find a way to get rid of the rituals.

So now that the fight has started, it's actually nothing to say two words if you're in the mood.

"I've been to the place you said for the first time," Red Lotus struck with both hands, but Qing Ci stepped back to avoid it, and the tip of the knife brushed the ends of Qing Ci's hair, cutting off a few strands of hair, and also shook Qing Ci's face cold, cooling him down.

"It's the end of the route, the route from the mainland over there, but it's a pity...... It's a little different from what you said," Red Lotus took back and paused slightly. Having said that, I made a look like it was over, and I was not in the mood to count the problems with the parties one by one. It's not a mystery novel, and the detective finally has to reason step by step to restore the case to trap the murderer.

There is only one truth for the detective, and as much as there is for the assassin.

"Hmm...... More than that, I guess? Qing Xi raised his eyebrows, looking very interested. Regardless of his actual purpose, he had now put aside the matter of finding Karil and started to deal with Red Lotus. He didn't mean to take the initiative, and when Red Lotus didn't really threaten him yet, he was still very interested in chatting with Red Lotus for a while to see what more interesting insights she had.

It's like watching someone play a game of their own design.

"I know you've read the report" Red Lotus's blade brushed along Qing Xi's sleeve again, and the trajectory of this knife was bounced away by Qing Xi's long sword cut diagonally, and the force that fed back was steadily transmitted to Red Lotus's arm, deep into the bone marrow.

"Report?" Qing asked rhetorically.

Every time the long sword intersected with the Red Lotus's sword, Qing Xi could clearly feel the state of the Red Lotus's sword. In his opinion, an opponent whose level is inferior to his own has not reflected any thorough consciousness in the battle so far, and it is impossible to defeat himself.

This is true even if there are environmental constraints.

"A report from the Astrology Pavilion, secretly handed over to Morton by the Holy See, concerning Karil. The question of Andris's identity. This report did not have any real effect on Moulton, but you did read it, in the League of Assassins. Red Lotus flicked the blade of the knife in a dashing manner, threw the crumbs to the ground, and adjusted her breath a little to prepare to continue.

"I don't know what effect it had on you, but I have reason to suspect that it was one of the reasons you made this choice - of course, that's not the point." Red Lotus smiled and shook her head slightly, as she waved her blade, it was like laughing at her own powerlessness.

It wasn't until a very coincidental chance that Red Lotus finally left a small knife mark on Qing Xi's right hand, which was a bleeding wound, and it didn't affect me at all.

The two had been entangled with each other in the dungeon for a while, and apart from leaving many scratches around them, the only real loss was physical strength. Especially in the underground, where the ventilation is not smooth, the air is turbid, making people feel that the body is very heavy, and the recovery is particularly slow.

"Let's make a long story short...... Qing Ci took advantage of the gap between pushing the red lotus away, and gently wiped the wound with his left hand: "Hmm...... But you're better than you were back then, a little bit. ”

He was referring to a long, long time ago, when he and Red Lotus followed Karil to the Holy See and went to find Angelo. Bloomer at that time. During the few days they lived in the Holy City, the two of them also had many encounters. The current Red Lotus is indeed much more powerful than it was then, and Qing Xi has just discovered this kind of growth, because this growth comes from the understanding of the opponent.

Both sides are all too familiar with each other's attacks.

"Based on all the suspicions, what finally made me sure was Kohler" Red Lotus slowly raised the sword, and her gaze followed the blade to Qing Xi: "The time Kohler mixed into the papal team, you should have passed by in the corridor, and you definitely couldn't have noticed Kohler's anomaly. ”

Khloe was a smart fellow, but he wasn't a well-trained assassin, not even a warrior or a warrior, his physical strength and combat were not his forte at all, and he wasn't even mentally strong enough. The moment Kohler rubbed shoulders with Red Lotus when he first entered the room, he showed his feet, and the instantaneous reaction was enough for Red Lotus to catch the flaw. And even if Khloe had not misjudged the form and suddenly attacked, his intense uneasiness would have been perceptible to any keen person long before that.

Khloe was nervous, apprehensive, his heart was pounding, his breathing was short, and his whole demeanor was wrong. In the hurried Holy See team, these guys who can't fight didn't find anything abnormal, even if they didn't find anything abnormal, it was absolutely impossible for the Qing Rite, who also passed by Kohler, not to find such a dangerous element.

"You didn't kill Kohler first, you let him in," Red Lotus said slowly. It's like a boxer having a round, with both sides taking a slight pause: "You want this person to cause trouble for Karil, and it's good for you - and it's certainly not from the side of the guard, and with all the previous suspicions, it's enough to come to a plausible conclusion." ”

Honglian slowly put down the knife, loosened the sleeve of her left hand in front of Qing Xi, and adjusted her state.

"And in the end, it was tonight's herald that made you decide to attack?" Qing Xi asked with a slight smile, it was enough to satisfy his small curiosity if he could understand the cause and effect.

"You're lying, you know Karil. What is Andris doing now, and even then you have to use the lie to get a chance to meet Kahlil. Or, in other words, meeting Karil in the current situation is one of your purposes - in addition to aiding Skalloa's war when you disappeared, it seems that you also received a lot of information about the Holy See from the Assassins, including the Astrological Pavilion. That departure was a real harvest for you......"

The red lotus disappeared in place in an instant, and slashed towards Qing Ci with a heavy blow at a much faster speed than just now, and was blocked head-on by Qing Ci's horizontal long sword, making a heavy muffled sound, forcing Qing Ci back two steps, and his heels were already against the wall. This blow was much more fierce than every attack just now, which made Qing Xi frown unconsciously.

"It's disappointing that Kahlil can't give you the order to meet, including the search, which is a fake order from me, in order to trick you into using this order to get the opportunity to meet with Kahlil......"

Honglian turned around and pulled out another knife, turned around and took the corners of her fluttering clothes to spin, and stopped abruptly.

She finally showed one of the strongest emotions since this meeting - anger.

"You said you were a person who hated betrayal" Red Lotus pressed all her strength on the knife, forcing Qing Xi into a corner.

"Well, yes...... That's why I've completed at least one copper coin contract, and now I've cleared the way for the little fox to build a home, haven't I? Qing Xi held the weapon with both hands to parry the Red Lotus's attack: "And if you want to stop me, I'm afraid it's a pity to rely on your strength alone...... You can't stop me."

The difference in strength between the two is indeed not something that can be bridged by relying on some environmental details.

"I used to think so," Red Lotus replied through gritted teeth, "but sometimes, I have to stop you—"

She rushed forward in one step, slashing sideways with one hand, but quickly bounced away when she was blocked by the Qing Ritual Sword.

This knife was just a false move, Honglian directly let go of the Tai Knife, and his right shoulder was immediately cut into by the unstoppable long sword, easily slicing from under the skin, and then Honglian lowered his head to avoid it, leaving a narrow cut on his shoulder, which continued to the side of his neck. Before the blood could flow out of it, the red lotus had already rushed into the door of the Qing Ceremony, and the whole person collided with the Qing Ceremony.

Her most convenient weapon was the Hidden Blade of the Assassin, and at this time, this hidden blade had already stabbed towards Qing Xi's abdomen. (To be continued.) )
