Chapter 64: Shaken
The mutation occurs when Murayu, who is in Adam's hands, is about to stab into Ray's body.
Ray's body became hazy, allowing Adam to penetrate directly through his body, uncontrollably rushing towards the street not far away.
"Not good!" Adam screamed in his heart, knowing that he had made a mistake. But now he was concentrating all his strength on the tip of the knife, and he couldn't stop at all, so he could only gallop away by inertia.
Lei naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, the elementalized body recovered immediately, turned around and aimed at Adam's defenseless back, holding the Tieyun Sword in both hands and slashing obliquely from the bottom to the top, wanting to cut Adam off at the waist.
However, to Ray's surprise, his powerful sword did not have the desired effect, and only knocked Adam away, leaving a wound on his body that was neither deep nor shallow.
"Boom!"
Knocked away by a sword, Adam lost control of his body and flew to a distant shop, smashing the walls of the shop, and dust and clouds quickly mixed together.
"Yikes!"
"Ahh Come on! ”
"Shhh My feet. ”
It was only after the splattered debris of the building scraped several onlookers that they realized that this was not a harmless juggling, but a dangerous and life-threatening one.
Accompanied by screams, the crowd of onlookers scattered and fled in a panic, which made people laugh and did not know how to evaluate it.
"Just now, he seems to have blocked my sword with his armed domineering power." Recalling the feeling of slashing Adam before, Ray thought in his heart.
"Hey! Don't play dead! I know you're still awake. After sensing Adam's breath as well, Ray shouted towards the smoking ruins.
"Ahem! Sure enough, it lives up to its name! Pushing away the log that was pressing down on his body, Adam wiped the blood from his mouth and praised.
Although his injuries are not serious now, they will also slightly affect his combat effectiveness. Ray's sword not only made the place where he was slashed in the back bleed and affected his movements, but his internal organs were also shaken, and it felt like a river was overturned inside.
The surroundings gradually fell silent, and there was hardly any sound. On the ground, large and small bubbles were constantly generated at the roots of the trees, swaying and floating in mid-air, adding a bit of dreamy color to the duel.
Across the space, the two looked at each other for a long time, and a solemn atmosphere hung over the silent street.
Neither side wants to be the first to strike. Adam was worried about revealing his flaws again, and it would be good for him to delay time. On the back side of Ray's invisible, Adam's wound quickly stopped bleeding and scabbed, and although it could not fully recover, it no longer affected his movements.
As for Ray, the main reason why he didn't do it was because in his sight and perception, a little boy who had wandered away timidly hid in the collapsed shop behind Adam, wiping tears of fear with his hands, trembling so much that he couldn't cry out.
Fearing that he would accidentally injure the boy, Ray didn't dare to take the lead and could only approach slowly step by step, trying to save Adam before he found the boy.
"Mom! Whining! Just as Ray and Adam were at a standoff, the boy suddenly let out a small cry from his hiding place, trying to find his mother, who had been separated in the chaos.
"What?" Unexpectedly, there was someone behind him, Adam was shocked into a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to turn around in front of Ray, he could only use what he saw and heard, and he was relieved until he found out that it was a child.
But Adam breathed a sigh of relief, but Ray suddenly became nervous, and this scene reminded him of what happened to him, worried that Adam was desperate to take the boy hostage.
At this moment, there was a sudden "rattle" behind Adam.
The half-ruined shop couldn't hold on, and a stone the size of a human head fell from the shattered second-floor balcony and smashed straight into the still crying boy.
"Oops!" Sensing the boy's danger, Adam ignored the duel with Ray, turned around and rushed to the foot of the wall, and the village rain in his hand was raised high, trying to chop the stone and save the boy.
But Ray, who was far away, didn't pay attention to the boy, his attention was always on Adam, and he didn't see the falling stones. At this time, seeing Adam raise his knife and rush towards the boy, Ray thought that he wanted to disadvantage him, so he stopped slowly approaching, and rushed behind Adam with a "shave" after holding the sword.
"Click&Pss The sound of a knife smashing stones and a sword piercing a heart rang out.
Subsequently, the shattered stones fell to the surrounding ground.
"You!?" After realizing that he had misunderstood Adam, Ray's eyes widened in disbelief, mixed emotions surging through his chest, but he couldn't say a word when it came to his lips, and stood there looking at everything in front of him.
After regaining his human form, Adam noticed that his life was gradually draining, but with a smile on his face, he bent down and said to the little boy who was crying, "Little ghost, how can a man cry and cry!" I'll take you to your mom! ”
Hearing the malevolent-looking uncle in front of him speak, the little boy opened his red eyes and asked timidly, "Really?" ”
"Ahem! Of course! Forcing a mouthful of blood, Adam smiled in pain. Because Ray's Iron Cloud Sword was still inserted in his heart, every time his heart beats, it will touch the cold blade.
"Thank you, uncle!" The young boy thanked politely and placed his little hand in the hand that Adam had handed him.
All this is seen in Ray's eyes, and the indescribable emotions gather in his heart, regret? Doubt? Or moved? Maybe all of these are there, but the killing intent is gone.
Holding the boy's little hand, Adam dragged his gradually cold body to lead him to find his mother, walking step by step on the silent street.
"Uncle! Doesn't that thing on you hurt? "The innocent child looked up, his eyes pure and pure, out of place in this chaotic world.
"Ah, this? It doesn't hurt at all! But don't try, it's something that only grown-ups can do. Adam covered the wound with his other hand to prevent the blood from leaking too quickly.
The clouds and mist dissipated little by little, and the halo of the setting sun appeared in the distant sky, and the sunlight hit the two figures obliquely, one large and one small, leaving two long shadows behind them.
"Imp, your mother is here to pick you up! Don't get separated in the future. Seeing an anxious young woman running down the street in the distance, Adam touched the boy's head and admonished him.
"Thank you, uncle! Goodbye, uncle! The boy waved his hand at Adam and ran happily to his mother, who had been found in the distance.
Dragging his cold body against the trunk of the tree, Adam's face was extremely pale, and his bold face was full of fragility.
"Is this the end of it? I'm going to look for you too, old friend! Adam's head slowly drooped, and his eyes gradually closed.
The moment he lowered his head, Adam's more than thirty years of life flew through his mind. Learn swordsmanship with the master, aspire to become a hero, wander the sea, become a fugitive and wander, and the wonderful and simple life comes to an end.
"When you see injustice, you express injustice......
