Chapter 61: Battle!
And Ueno Kanyanagi has already closed the knife.
The long knife returned to its scabbard, and he held it in his left hand and put it on the hilt with his right hand. The blade was pushed away from the mouth of the carp by the thumb, and it seemed ready to deliver another hard blow at any moment.
"I wanted to cut off your head with a blow just now." He smiled lightly, "I didn't expect you to be able to dodge." ”
Li Zhen cautiously took a step back and widened the distance between the two to three meters. Then he frowned slightly, clenched his fists, and a tiny electric current flowed through his body, stimulating the terrible scar on his back to heal quickly.
It's unbelievable - how could he cut through his scales like that?
On the night of Pingyang, his newborn white scales could cushion Barrett's sniper warhead, not to mention after several resonances with the species and the transformation and reorganization of his body - the hardness of the scale armor should have increased to an incredible level!
Even some time ago, he did a test - his scale armor can fully withstand the close-range fire of a small-caliber pistol. When the skin on the back feels the strong wind and the body, it instinctively pops out the armor to defend against it...... However, there was not even the slightest hindrance, and his self-defense weapon was like a piece of paper under the blade of that long knife!
So Li Zhen snorted coldly: "It is indeed a good knife." As for the words of cutting off my head...... Since my resurrection, there have been many people who want to pinch me as a soft persimmon. It's a pity that they are the ones who regret it in the end. ”
Ueno Kanyanagi smiled, "Very good. I like a scrappy opponent like yours. ”
Then he looked at Kitagawa Qingming in the distance, and his body slowly squatted. There was a dangerous and deadly glint in his eyes: "Time is running out, let's fight quickly, okay?" ”
The volcanic ash that had just been stirred up by the sword qi had not yet fallen, but another flash of light had already broken through them with a fierce wind. The long knife was unsheathed, and the sharp tip of the knife was accelerated to the highest speed along an arc trajectory, and as soon as Ueno Guanliu's voice fell, the "one line cut" was slashed in front of Li Zhen again!
Iai Knife Drawing. Deliver a fatal blow to the enemy with a must-kill force the moment the long knife is unsheathed - this reckless and reckless way of fighting requires nothing more than two words: fast and ruthless.
Fast enough, of course.
Even faster than the one slash just now! It was the first opponent Li Zhen had encountered that he felt unable to win with speed. The opponent's long knife was almost beyond the limit of what his dynamic vision could capture, and with one blow, the thin blade seemed to become a wall—the rolling waves of air roared along with the blade, as if it was not the blade that was pressing on him, but the wall of the knife!
Loud, popping, breaking the air. The knife made three sounds. There was even an extremely thin layer of mist in front of Li Zhen's body—it was a liquefied layer of water vapor in the air caused by the violent friction. In other words—
Sound barrier!
There was a loud bang.
Where the two of them had just been, there was only a slanting mushroom cloud made of volcanic ash that had stirred up.
As if a cannonball was shot out of the same place, the mushroom cloud was still slowly rising, and before the form dissipated, a path suddenly appeared in the forest area where they were hiding, stretching for a hundred meters. A serpent made of flames, lightning, and dust!
In the dust raised by this "long serpent". There was also a sudden flash of sword light and splashes of blood, branches, earth and stones. Countless bowl-sized trees toppled down. Where the two of them passed, they left behind a long line of sky-high flames and billowing smoke, as if a long dragon of flames suddenly jumped on the earth!
Li Zhen in the dust and mist was wrapped in flames and lightning, and countless slender wounds on his body rushed outward. Two hideous wounds met from the left shoulder and the right shoulder in the abdomen. It is like a slanted neckline of a robe in the shape of a Y-shape. The muscles rolled to reveal the broken blood-red stubble beneath it—the incision was so smooth that you could see the beating heart in the depths.
However, his left hand had already grasped something - the calyx of the "One Stripe Cut". Thirty-three fatal wounds in exchange for such an opportunity, he fiercely grabbed Ueno Kanyanagi's knife-holding right hand, pushing the other party to crash into a dead tree along the way, and the arc on his right fist flashed wildly, striking hard!
Boom!
Flesh and blood flew from the point of contact, and a thin sound of a whole bone shattering sounded in Ueno Kanyanagi's left chest, and the man flew upside down like a cannonball.
However, the long knife remained in Li Zhen's hand - with three other fingers. The huge momentum tore at the opponent's right hand, and only a miserable half of the bone stubble remained in one palm.
This is certainly not the end. Li Zhen slammed his intact right leg on the ground, and before the exploding dust mist dissipated, he appeared in front of the diagonally flying Ueno Kanyanagi - before the other party's face had time to show the twisted expression after feeling the pain, another punch had already slammed into his left chest again.
This time the man's body slammed to the ground, trembling under his feet. The volcanic ash, which had accumulated for more than ten days, soared into the sky like a tsunami, and the entire body was blasted below the ground by Li Zhen and disappeared in the smoke.
One breath of time.
At this time, Li Zhen had time to take a second breath and send a third punch in the direction where the opponent had just fallen to the ground.
However...... The fist slammed into the ground.
He immediately pulled away, leaning heavily on a thick tree trunk on the other side.
The guy is gone.
But he was prepared. In fact, in just a few seconds of the fight just now, Li Zhen discovered one thing - Ueno Kanliu will never be a B-grade, let alone a C-grade......
He's an A-grade!
Without psionic powers, it is impossible to attack yourself from all angles in that almost ghostly posture - not because of the high speed, but more like a very brief spatial displacement. His psionic energy must have something to do with the word "space."
And there is no doubt that the guy just now once again used his ability to escape by chance.
The dust and mist stirred up in front of them gradually dissipated, and the flames caused by their battle all the way became more and more intense, forming a long line of sky-high flames behind them.
The figure of Ueno Kanyanagi appeared behind the thick fog. He was holding another tree with his left hand.
Both of them needed time to breathe - even though Zhilu Dao was now the weakest time for the other party, neither of them was sure that they would be able to launch the last blow in this state.
Li Zhen squeezed his chest with his hands, frowned, gathered the severed bones in one place, and stimulated them to heal quickly with a strong electric current. And Ueno Kanyanagi leaned hard against the tree next to him, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and hissed, "You should have died a long time ago." You shouldn't be alive - you can't last that long! ”
Li Zhen looked at the blurred figure opposite through the smoke, and grinned with a mouth full of blood: "It should have been a long time ago, it shouldn't have been." I've heard too many words like that—why are you always so sure? I'd like to ask you—who told you that I couldn't fly, and that I shouldn't have lasted so long—that told you? ”
Ueno Kanyanagi seems to realize that he has lost his words. He tore the strip of cloth from his body and only tied his wrist, took a few deep breaths, and broke off a branch with his slightly trembling left hand.
Li Zhen carefully observed his every move.
However, just as Ueno Kanyanagi thought that Li Zhen should not be able to withstand such damage, Li Zhen also thought that ......
Ueno Kanyanagi should have died a long time ago.
He ate two of his punches, both in the heart of the place. The fist also has an ultra-high temperature arc attached to it - it is an arc that can vaporize steel!
Why didn't he have the slightest burn mark on his body?
Even so—such a heavy blow, why hasn't his chest shattered yet, and his heart hasn't stopped beating?!
He looked at the "one stripe cut" in his hand. Then lightning flashed between his fingers, and the sharp blade turned into red-hot molten iron in an instant.
Ueno Kanyanagi noticed his movements, gasped and laughed, "People say I have a good knife. Ichikiri has indeed been with me for a long time. But those stupid people also think that my record depends on this sword...... Hehe. Do you know that I bought this thing on the side of the road for 3,000 yen—maybe not as good as a kitchen knife? ”
He slowly straightened up, tucked the branch in his left hand into his waist, and whispered, "The key is in the person." Not in the knife. This is the mystery of the sword flow of the heart. ”
In the smoke and dim light, Li Zhen's figure slowly stood up. At first, his left leg was severed, but now it seems to be fine. He exchanged thirty-three wounds for three fingers of Ueno Kanyanagi, which seemed to him to be quite worthwhile. It's just that I don't know what the "saints" of this gate of truth are, and how the left-handed sword swordsmanship is.
Since the mystery is not in the body of "one stripe cut...... Then it's about his abilities. It's just that it seems that Ueno Kanyanagi can't use it without scruples.
However...... Secrets are for everyone. Although Li Zhen didn't want people to know about it before. But by this time, he felt as if he couldn't keep it any longer.
So he took a deep breath and grinned, revealing his blood-stained sharp teeth.
"Before I do that, I want to know one thing. Yu Qingqing's whereabouts, do you know the Tao? ”
Ueno Guanliu's figure was slightly staggered, staring intently at Li Zhen's blurred dark black figure in the morning mist, and said in a low voice: "If you know this kind of thing, you will be distracted in the next battle." And I don't want to kill you like that. ”
He was answered by a low laugh. The laughter was hoarse, as if from the depths of the abyss, full of chilling chills.
"Hehehe...... My fear is that after you make a move, you won't be able to speak again. Answer this question, and then I'll give you a chance to die in honor. ”
Ueno Guanliu frowned slightly, groaned, and then smiled: "Okay." Your little friend is currently in the United States. At the Gate of Truth. ”
"Then you tell me too—the data shows that this level of damage is enough to make you incapacitated when there is no resonance, so why can you still stand in front of me?"
"Because ......," Li Zhen chuckled lowly, blood dripping from the tips of his sharp teeth, "I'm not me." (To be continued.) )
