217, the Duchess of Fierce Fighting (16)
Duchess Bathory, who was completely enraged by Xue Xiaojing's words, swung her staff and swept it, shaking Xue Xiaojing, who was wrestling with her, a step backwards, and then saw the duchess smash Xue Xiaojing with both hands on her staff. Although the 'Demon Finger Flame Lotus' is a long-handled staff, its tip is like a blade shaped like a lotus petal, but it is not an ornament. If an inattentive person is swept away, the skin will be opened, and the limbs and bones will be cut and broken.
Xue Xiaojing, who was shocked back, quickly stood firm, and then held the ring blade handle back, and used the soldier shield to block the smashed staff. I saw that the head blade of the staff and the tooth blade of the ring blade were instantly intertwined, making a "boom" sound of gold and iron colliding. The duchess, who missed the blow, pulled her hands back suddenly, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the entanglement of the weapons of the two sides to pull Xue Xiaojing into the area close to her, and at the worst she planned to force Xue Xiaojing to abandon her weapons. However, Xue Xiaojing also had her own way of coping, only to see her clever wrist flip and then shake, the serration of the ring blade easily broke free from the entanglement with the blade of the staff. Duchess Bathory, who misjudged her opponent's movements, was affected by her own pullback force, and her body staggered. Xue Xiaojing took the opportunity to step forward and swung her blade sideways, and the duchess hurriedly erected her staff to stop the slash, and then swung her staff again to smash at Xue Xiaojing.
Facing the shadow of the staff facing herself, Xue Xiaojing unhurriedly took the duchess's staff blow, and launched counterattacks from time to time to force the duchess to recruit for self-protection - among the companions, there were several people who used long weapons, and everyone often learned from each other when they fought simulated battles with each other on weekdays, and after a long time, they naturally mastered the combat skills of dealing with long weapons. What's more, the 'Panda Wine Fairy' Yang Qianyu's inheritance weapon belongs to the 'stick' category, and in order to be more proficient in using his own weapons, Yang Qianyu also refers to many of the Iber world's long weapon fighting skills, and all kinds of 'staff (stick) techniques' are included. In the battle training, Yang Qianyu and Xue Xiaojing had many battles, and they had won and lost each other, so Xue Xiaojing was very handy against the enemy who fought with long weapons.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides attacked and defended each other for more than a dozen rounds.
Although the Duchess who is an opponent is a saint-level powerhouse, after all, it can't change the reality that she is a mage-type warrior and melee is a shortcoming item. However, at this time, because she was dizzy because she was enraged by Xue Xiaojing's provocation, she actually abandoned the magic attack she was good at and used the melee attack method that she was not good at to fight with Xue Xiaojing. Even though the Duchess (lower rank of the Holy Order, level 92) who is a powerhouse of the Holy Rank has a slight advantage over Xue Xiaojing (the peak of the fifth order, level 90) in terms of strength, Xue Xiaojing also relied on the uniqueness of the 'Watchman' inheritance to maintain an invincible situation with Duchess Bartholi for a while.
And since Duchess Bartholi focused all her attention on Xue Xiaojing and wanted to kill Xue Xiaojing first, naturally, she ignored a lot of attention to other aspects.
Feeling that the power of the wall of fire in front of him had weakened, Yang Qianyu took a deep breath and suddenly increased the strength of the 'fire-breathing technique' with both hands, and finally tore open a gap that was barely enough for one person to break through. Yang Qianyu, who didn't care too much, immediately rushed forward sideways, and rushed over the moment the gap closed.
When breaking through the wall of fire, Yang Qianyu noticed that the duchess was focused on attacking Xue Xiaojing and ignoring the others (also because the duchess was too confident in her own spells, and thought that no one in the crowd could break through the barrier of the wall of fire without her noticing), and immediately after breaking through, she quickly went around to the side of the duchess who was fighting with Xue Xiaojing without saying a word, and suddenly activated the state of 'drunken fist', and then blasted out a heavy punch at the duchess!
Duchess Bathory didn't expect anyone to stir up the situation halfway, and when she noticed Yang Qianyu's boxing, she couldn't dodge, and finally Yang Qianyu's heavy punch smashed on Duchess Bathory's magic shield without hindrance, making a deafening muffled sound.
"Bang !!"
The Duchess's magic shield had been weakened by half by Luo Xu's 'Elven Fire' earlier, and Yang Qianyu's attack power skyrocketed by one and a half times after turning on the 'Drunken Fist' state (the Lv2-level 'Drunken Fist' made the combat power 250% of the normal state, and the timeliness lasted for 14 seconds). The magic shield was immediately unbearable, and the shield collapsed after a flash of intense light. However, Yang Qianyu's fist was not completely offset by the shield, and at the same time as the magic shield collapsed, Yang Qianyu's fist also hit the duchess's side.
Although Yang Qianyu's boxing had been weakened by most of his strength when he hit the duchess, Yu Wei was still not something that the duchess could easily carry down. Although the feeling of pain as a semi-undead physique was greatly reduced, the duchess who was hit still couldn't help but snort, and quickly pulled away from Yang Qianyu and Xue Xiaojing by covering the side of the punch.
"It hurt her, and it's not light." After Yang Qianyu succeeded in the blow, she saw the duchess retreating, and immediately pressed up. At the same time, he raised his voice and greeted Xue Xiaojing, who was slightly in shape because of the opponent's retreat.
When Xue Xiaojing heard this, her figure that was supposed to stabilize her position stagnated, and then she quickly mobilized and forced the retreating duchess with Yang Qianyu. She already knew the meaning of Yang Qianyu's greeting - Yang Qianyu's previous boxing success injured the duchess, and this was a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue!
Yang Qianyu's feeling was not wrong at all, the Duchess of Bathory at this time was indeed injured. The ribs on one side that had withstood Yang Qianyu's heavy punch had been shattered, and some of the half-amputated bones were even misaligned and stuck in the spine! Thanks to the fact that the current Duchess of Bartholi is already a semi-undead monster, otherwise such an injury would even lose most of the mobility of the Holy Rank powerhouse. Although Duchess Bartholi did not feel the pain, her movements were still greatly affected by the trauma, not to mention the inconvenience of turning her waist, and the pull of the injured arm made it difficult to lift and swing sharply.
Facing Yang Qianyu and Xue Xiaojing, who were taking advantage of the situation to pursue, Duchess Bathory had no intention of fighting with the two, only to see her use her 'flying technique' and float up, flying into the air to avoid the pursuit of the two.
"Damn!" Yang Qianyu couldn't help but hate when he saw this. I have to say that the flying skills of the saint-rank powerhouse are indeed a great weapon, and the saint-rank powerhouse who has mastered the ability to fly can calmly exert his strength to slaughter the enemy when the enemy is difficult to attack him, and he can retreat in the face of unfavorable situations. If there are no other Saint-rank powerhouses or air combat forces in the battlefield, then you can only rely on the mid- and long-range combat skills and spells of the fighters, or arrange a large number of archers to shoot at them - of course, you can imagine how poor the attack efficiency of the latter two is.
"Now see how you get close to me." Duchess Bathory, who flew towards the ceiling of the hall, looked at Yang Qianyu and Xue Xiaojing, who could only look up at her on the ground, with a proud look on her face. "What if you can break my protection? What if I get hurt? Now you can't beat me at all, so you can only let me hunt after me......"
Duchess Bathory's heart was not finished, and suddenly a cold light flashed above her head. She looked up in astonishment, only to see an arm-long javelin whizzing and nailing it to the duchess's left shoulder, the sharp tip piercing through her collarbone and poking out from behind, black and red blood splattering in all directions.
"An attack from above?! How is this possible?! The wounded Duchess Bartholi cried out wildly in her heart, and even her ugly and distorted features could not hide her astonishment.
"Emerald Javelin! It's Kiki! Xue Xiaojing, who was below, saw clearly what was happening above her head, and immediately called out the name of the javelin owner after recognizing the javelin that injured the duchess.
"Guo Qi?" Yang Qianyu was stunned when she heard this, and then noticed that after Duchess Bathory launched the first round of group attacks on the team, Guo Qi seemed to have not appeared. Originally, because of the disadvantage of the battle situation and the serious injuries of many of his companions, Yang Qianyu never noticed that someone had disappeared. At this time, I remembered when I heard Xue Xiaojing's voice.
"She's been hiding at the top of the hall?" Yang Qianyu thought in his heart. "How did she manage to hide from anyone else?"
