Chapter 464: Low-level suppression
Ji Ran's spirit is unprecedentedly concentrated. Because at this moment, he is fighting against a gold-level powerhouse as a silver high-level.
It wasn't that he hadn't tried this before, but at that time, he had many reliable companions by his side. Those companions can help him share the pressure, giving him all sorts of free spaces to dodge and defend himself without causing too much danger.
But now he didn't. Although there is also a Thor next to him, that Thor is also in the midst of a fierce battle with another Golden Tier...... Moreover, it does not seem to have much advantage.
In a sense, he can be regarded as single-handing out a gold-level powerhouse.
Without armed alchemy, would he be able to retreat under the hands of this gold-level powerhouse?
He didn't have that confidence, but he wanted to try.
Once he encounters difficulties, he will use armed alchemy, which will not be of great benefit to his strength.
It is true that the state of armed alchemy is powerful, and it can even allow him to temporarily possess the power of the Golden Rank, which can be used against the enemies of the Golden Rank...... But that's only temporary. He can't rely on this state forever to get out of danger...... What if the other party is so strong that he will not be defeated in his armed alchemy state?
He had no means. When he withdrew from the state of armed alchemy, he could be said to be the weakest time. Any gold-level powerhouse can kill him lightly...... Ji Ran didn't want his fate to be in the hands of others at that time.
So, he's going to strengthen himself!
When it comes to basic attributes, he is not much worse than the golden level. But there is still a gap in rank, which is an all-round gap. It's not that he can make up for it with a golden finger...... But under this gap. How to maximize your strength. Giving full play to his strengths and giving himself the ability to fight the other party is what he is studying urgently.
And now, he's trying.
With light skills and footwork, he can at least hold on to this golden level on the opposite side. But this state of affairs is not bound to last long...... Because sooner or later, the other party will discover their weakness and then use this to attack themselves.
That is, his absolute power is insufficient.
If Ariel didn't try to use her body to deal with Ji Ran, but attacked directly. At least Ji Ran would never be so leisurely—of course, in fact, he wasn't very leisurely now.
You have to come up with a way to deal with it before the other person thinks of it!
Then, he found out that Ariel had indeed discovered his weakness.
Ariel's previous fighting style was to try her best to find the opponent's mistakes and gaps, and attack at the seams. She always tries to avoid direct collisions, and instead uses wandering tactics - this is how Ariel fights, and she does the same when fighting the others.
But in the face of Ji Ran, this tactic is obviously useless. Although the opponent's agility is not higher than his own, the opponent's understanding of movement is obviously stronger than his own...... It's already very difficult to catch up with the other party's figure by yourself. It's too difficult to beat each other in these two aspects.
So...... Himself as a gold-level powerhouse. What else is the advantage?
Absolute power! Your own attack must not be something that the other party can withstand lightly! If the other party can easily block his attack, why does he try his best to avoid fighting him head-on?
Ariel understood this, so she stopped when she was away from Ji Ran once.
“…… I actually forgot about jì, you're just a silver rank. Maybe you do have your own strengths in agility, but I'm going to tell you anyway...... The gap in rank is not so easy to make up! ”
Ariel took a deep breath and held her sword in front of her.
"I'll let you see the true power of the Golden Order!"
The dark red fighting spirit completely enveloped her in an instant, but on the long sword in her hand, the fighting spirit was extraordinarily rich!
The vindictiveness seems to be condensed as substance—oh no, it has already formed substance. Although this fighting spirit does not look so pure, it is obvious that it does not affect the lethality of this fighting energy.
Now Ariel seems to be holding a huge sword in her hand...... The sword body alone was as long as several Ariel. From this sword, Ji Ran felt a terrifying power...... That's the power that belongs to the gold-level powerhouse, destroying the miè-level power!
Ji Ran had also encountered a gold-level powerhouse before, but no gold-level powerhouse would use this kind of power against him...... Because this kind of simple power is not so applicable to enemies of the same level.
It's powerful, but it's bulky. No one in the golden rank will be a target stupidly, so this kind of power will not exert too good an effect. But now, it's different.
Ariel does not pursue to be able to catch up with Ji Ran...... She just needs to make Ji Ran unable to dodge!
That's right, Ariel's breath locked a large space in front of him. This space contains almost all the directions that Ji Ran can dodge. As long as she swings down with a sword, no matter how Ji Ran dodges and evades, there is no way to leave her attack range!
And the frontal defense...... Not to mention that Ji Ran's weakest thing is defense, even if he is good at defense, using a silver high-level identity to hard-connect the power of the gold level, no matter what, there is only one thing left to find death......
However, Ji Ran naturally couldn't sit still. Ariel is ready to overwhelm people, and her worst fears have happened. So, you have to think of a workaround!
That is, to attack instead of defensive.
That's right, it's an attack...... The constant attacks made it impossible for Ariel to unleash this blow! Then, you will be able to hold on for a longer period of time!
Don't expect to defeat Ariel, Ji Ran just needs to hold on now.
His figure suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, it was already behind Ariel.
Flowing wind and spring rain, two kinds of sword skills are combined to perform!
The flowing wind made him rush in front of Ariel in an instant, and the spring rain that followed him made him enter a state of stealth. In this state, even the gold-level powerhouses couldn't notice it...... At least Ariel still felt that Ji Ran was in front of him at the time.
Then, she felt the coldness coming from behind.
The perception of the gold-level powerhouse was not a joke, and she immediately realized that something was wrong. Without a moment of thought, she swung her sword backwards. The fighting qi wrapped around the long sword left a long trail in the air!
However, Ji Ran had already left the place early. He didn't think that he would be able to injure this gold-level powerhouse with a single blow without anyone else holding him back...... The previous sword was just a coincidence.
Now that you've achieved your goal, there's no need to use your body to take it hard.
With a wrong step, Ji Ran turned from the other side of Ariel. Then he swept the long sword and wiped it at Ariel's neck again!
Ariel's sword towards her back didn't yield much results, as she knew it herself. Then, she found out about Ji Ran's attack...... Although this kind of attack is impossible to prevent, it is not unstoppable for a gold-level powerhouse.
The long sword in her hand suddenly slashed at a strange angle, blocking Ji Ran's long sword with a move that ordinary people couldn't do no matter what. But when she wanted to pursue, Ji Ran had already disappeared in place again.
Next time, Ji Ran's long sword was handed over from another direction. And this angle made Ariel extremely uncomfortable, no matter how she moved, it made her extremely awkward. What's even more infuriating is that she can't ignore the other party's attacks!
Theoretically, the talisman fighting spirit of a gold-level powerhouse can actually block the attack of the silver-level powerhouse. Although if the Silver Rank gathers all the strength of his body to deliver a life-sacrificing blow, it may also break the defense of the Gold Rank powerhouse and cause damage to the opponent...... But the gold-tier powerhouse will go off the line to that point, let the silver-tier guy perform this kind of attack, and he won't dodge it?
But the problem is that Ariel senses a force that can threaten her from Ji Ran's attack!
That kind of peculiar fighting spirit that is different from other fighting spirits I have ever seen, sharp as a sword blade. She had no doubt that if she stood still, Ji Ran's attack would definitely be able to easily pierce her vindictive defense!
Provided, of course, that she doesn't temporarily add defenses somewhere. This feeling is just like the attack used by other Silver Rank is a fruit knife, while the defense of a Gold Rank powerhouse is a heavy wooden plank. Fruit knives can't pierce planks at all, unless you're using a weapon like an axe or sword. But if you replace the fruit knife with a dagger of similar size......
Ji Ran's fighting spirit is like a dagger. The weakness of his own vindictive defense, being attacked by his vindictiveness, will definitely not be able to guarantee his own safety!
Ariel could only do her best to intercept and defend against the opponent's attacks, but at this moment, Ji Ran's fighting style has changed again.
His figure wrapped around him...... Although he was standing there at all times, without the slightest sign of moving, he could appear in all directions of his body at any time. And the long sword in his hand will attack him from all kinds of strange angles...... It's hard to guard against!
The most hateful thing is that his attacks are incessant, so that he can't find a gap to leave...... Those ubiquitous, mysterious and insidious blades made her even tired for a while......
What's going on? I am a gold level, and I was actually beaten by a silver level! It doesn't make sense, it can't be! That Ji Ran obviously attacked only a little sharper, and his strength was definitely not comparable to his own. His movements were only a little weirder, and his speed was definitely not as fast as his own. Why, now in the form of shì is that he has the upper hand and he is forced to defend?
With Ariel's knowledge, it is naturally impossible to understand how the swordsmanship from the mysterious ancient country of the East in another world contains a philosophy of life and integration with the natural environment......
Ji Ran is now as if he has merged into the surroundings, everywhere. And Ariel's feeling is that all around her are enemies of her! (To be continued......)
