Chapter 208: In the middle of the battle
From the beginning, there was no distinction between high and low or high or low, but when there was another thing and thing, and after there was a comparison, everything was superior - just like Zora at this moment, he had absolute pride in commanding the battle of the new Holy Knights, because he was the only one who could gain the trust of that lord in the sacred mountain and command the battle formation of 2,000 people.
And this, of course, is a supreme honor, enough to make anyone proud!
However, at this moment, this pride was forcibly removed, and at this moment, Zora already felt a hot sting in his cheeks, as if he had been slapped dozens of times - the time he had commanded the new Holy Knights before to stop the dragon of Shak was only ten minutes at most, and less than two minutes for a shorter time, and when Anwar took over the command, such time was invisibly extended a lot; The new group of Holy Knights in front of them had been blocking the Shak Dragon for fifteen minutes, and this was not the longest, the previous group had only begun to 'collapse' at twenty minutes.
That's right, it's 'crash'!
Under Anwar's command, the new Holy Knight Commanders of the Group of Five seem to be fighting separately, but in essence, they are a mixed whole, and they are more than a little more clever than his command - at least, he can't command the new Holy Knight Commanders to block them with their arms and thighs when the blade of the Shak Dragon attacks, and then continue to participate in the battle until all limbs are severe, and he will use the stumps to create opportunities for the remaining four until they completely collapse.
He must not be allowed to ......
Zola stood there, looking at the back of Anwar Command. The gloom on his face and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense—at this moment, Zola had already thought of some of the things that appeared after each promotion of this Anwar; The other party's boss will always be inexplicably 'unlucky'. Or simply that he reported meritorious. Step on the corpse of your boss and get on top.
Were you going to do the same to me before?
Hum!
A cold snort sounded in his heart, and then Zora withdrew his gaze, his gaze was once again on the dragon of Shak, and the gloom on his face gradually disappeared, leaving only an unconcealable surprise - he knew that if he continued like this, even if he could return to the sacred mountain, he would be punished by the adult. And step back from where you are now.
For Zola, if he is taken off from his current position, he will undoubtedly lose everything.
And he, absolutely not wanting to accept such a fact!
Faced with an unacceptable truth, Zola, the cardinal archbishop, couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses, he lowered his head and carefully considered his retreat, and his eyes once again swept over Anwar's back.
Perhaps......
Suddenly, a method appeared in Zola's mind, and it quickly became complete, and thinking of the pride in it, Zora couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
……
The blade of the longsword grazed against his chest. A streak of blood appeared on the chest uncontrollably, and it did not wait for the blood to flow out. The Enma Knife in Ye Qi's hand slashed to the right, cutting off the attacker's arm along with the head, and at the same time, the head did not return, the wrist flipped, and the Enma Knife stabbed backwards, stabbing the other pseudo-holy knight commander behind him to the heart, and there was another wound on his back.
Compared with the injury on the front chest, this injury is undoubtedly much more serious, the skin and flesh have been turned up, although there is no deep visible bone, but if you go to the hospital, you also need needlework and sutures to solve it; But Ye Qi didn't care about this at all, he leaned forward, lying on Groning's back, and the Yama Knife that stabbed back, straight cut a knife curtain on his back, cutting off all the three arms of the remaining three pseudo-holy knights who rushed over.
On Ye Qi's already scarred back, three scars were added again, not scratches, but puncture wounds, although they did not pierce the body in the traditional sense, but they also penetrated deep into the muscles, and the blood flowed straight out of Ye Qi's back, and went straight down the strong muscle lines, gathering together with the blood residue left before.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
Ye Qi patted Groning's neck, and the latter rushed forward in understanding, taking advantage of the fact that the other party's three arms holding the sword were cut off, he slashed three heads with one sword, and directly killed the three pseudo-holy knight commanders; Then, he took out a bottle of healing potion from the [High Dimensional Bag] and drank half of it, causing the other half to fall on his back - the legendary-level physique [Physique] was undoubtedly powerful, and Ye Qi once again understood the meaning contained in the words described by the system.
'Constitution (Legendary): With such a constitution, even if you are naked, you can make any heavily armored and special armor person feel ashamed, and that endless physical strength will make them feel embarrassed - do you want to go into battle shirtless, hard to fight with blades and bullets? The legendary physique will make you get your wish! ’
Ye Qi is now just like described, shirtless, fighting hard; Although he was not uninjured, the endless physical strength and recovery power made him want to look up to the sky and roar twice-although Ye Qi did not count in detail how many scars he had on his body from the previous battle to the present, but the blood that flowed out was shocking to himself; Originally, in Ye Qi's thoughts, the passage of blood would inevitably make him have to turn back and rest halfway; But it has continued until now, and he has slashed more than 100 opponents, and there is still no abnormal reaction.
The passage of blood will definitely affect me, but in the recovery of the Legendary [Physique], this impression has been unconsciously reduced......
However, if you touch the limit of recovery, you will still become 'physically exhausted'!
Ye Qi felt the coolness coming from the wound behind his back, and his mind was also clear - he was not confused by the resilience shown by the Legendary-level [Physique], although the strength of the Legendary-level [Physique] had been proven, but the Legendary-level [Physique] was not an 'immortal body' after all.
Perhaps, at a certain moment, the Legendary-level [Physique] can be raised to that level. But definitely not now.
And. Maybe it's me at the moment. In their eyes, isn't it the 'immortal body'?
Looking at the pseudo-Holy Knight leader of a group of five who rushed up again, Ye Qi took a deep breath and greeted him again - from the previous battle, Ye Qi had changed his original way of fighting, from the 'calculation method' that he was most accustomed to to to the way of 'exchanging injuries for life'.
In this way, at the beginning, Ye Qi was not used to it. will always subconsciously dodge, and then, it will become an ordinary parry, and will be forced and entangled by the pseudo-holy knight leaders in a group of five, and cannot be separated; But as time passed, Ye Qi, who became more and more familiar, found his own rhythm of fighting.
A very addictive combat rhythm!
Whenever he exchanged the other party's life for a very small price, Ye Qi felt an inexplicable pleasure, which was different from the satisfaction of the 'calculation method' to win without injury in the end, which was a completely different feeling. However, both are gratifying with a hint -
If it was before. The way to kill with a critical blow......
Then I'm also a nirvana now, but it's just an exchange of injuries for injuries......
Moreover, compared to before, it is more direct!
The teacher once said that the most direct way to fight is the most deadly!
Ye Qi, whose eyes were slightly narrowed, looked at the pseudo-holy knight leaders who were getting closer and closer in a group of five, and couldn't help but think of a sparring with the teacher at the beginning, which was the day before he was about to leave the teacher and become a demon hunter.
Ye Qi remembers very well that after the so-called celebration party, his slightly drunk teacher began the last training session: actual combat.
This time, the actual combat is different from the previous battles where swords are practiced, but real weapons; And the result is naturally self-evident - just two moves later, Ye Qi was beaten by his own teacher.
"Do you know where you lost?"
These were the words of old John after he had struck him hard with the spine of his sword; And he rubbed the medicine and shook his head under the mocking gaze of the profiteer—it is true, at first he thought that he could hold on for a longer time, and made all sorts of plans for this to deal with sudden changes; However, when the battle began, Ye Qi lost before he could come back to his senses.
I don't even know where I lost.
"I don't know what to do!"
Ye Qi said helplessly.
"You think too much, so much that you can't fully exert your strength at all!"
Old John drank his rum, looked at his disciples with his drunken eyes, and said, "Have you made a lot of plans for this competition to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations?" ”
"Hmm!"
Ye Qi nodded.
"Stupid guy!"
Old John slapped his disciple's head fiercely, and then scolded loudly: "The battle is ever-changing, and the way to make plans before the war...... Hmph, who do you think you are? ”
"However, most of the battles can be simulated, and you can decide the opponent's fighting style with your own fighting style, and then, after giving the corresponding plan, crack the opponent's fighting style one by one, and finally win!" Ye Qi was very unconvinced by his teacher's statement, and he stiffened his neck.
"It seems to make some sense, but do you really think that everyone will match your fighting style? There are more than one or two people who don't want to die in this world! Do you really want to meet such an existence......" Before Old John's words were finished, the profiteer came over, looked at Ye Qi, who was bruised and swollen, and said with a wicked smile: "Who made our Ye Qi a cautious guy?" Your instinctive way of fighting is definitely not suitable for him! ”
"If you can't face death head-on, even if you are an existence with outstanding skills, you will only be tied up in the end!"
Old John took a sip of wine angrily, looked at his disciple, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
"Skill wins are also beneficial! At least you won't mess yourself up! ”
The profiteer patted Ye Qi on the shoulder as he spoke—of course, there was a bruise on the shoulder that had been pulled out by the spine of the sword; Therefore, the next moment, Ye Qi grinned and slapped away the profiteer's hand, looking at the other party viciously, while the profiteer shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent: "I'm on your side!" ”
"Facing death?"
Ye Qi snorted coldly and looked at his teacher again. Asked.
"That's right. Face the Dead! If you can't face death head-on. The knife in your hand is still rusty and dull! Old John answered for his disciple, he put down the wine bottle in his hand, then looked at the dim light on the roof, and continued: "Death is something worthy of fear and awe, but when you swing the knife again, you should not be afraid and awe-inspired. It's about putting your opponent in such a predicament! ”
"And if you want to do that, you have to face death! It is also the path you have to take - in the heavy planning, keep tempting, find the opponent's weakness, and kill the opponent with one blow; Or ......"
Or, more directly, in exchange for the death of the other party with minimal injuries!
This is also nirvana!
It's a different choice than yours, but it's still nirvana!
Old John's voice echoed in Ye Qi's mind, and then, he subconsciously read it out word by word. And the new group of five pseudo-Holy Knight Commanders is already close at hand-
My fear of death prevents me from looking at death!
Facing the pseudo-Holy Knight Commander who arrived first. At the moment when the other party swung his sword, Ye Qi also swung a sword; Then, there was an extra blood groove on his shoulder, and the other party was cut in two.
Even now, because of the support of the legendary [physique] and the blessing of various spells and bloodlines, I will choose to exchange injuries for my life.
For I know that I will not die.
It's not that I've chosen to look at death directly, it's another specious escape!
Dodging again, when the four cross-swords attacked together, Ye Qi instinctively chose to dodge, and then chose one of the pseudo-holy knight commanders to continue to exchange injuries for lives.
If it were a teacher, what would he do?
What exactly can happen after looking directly at death?
The chaotic thoughts in Ye Qi's mind kept appearing, but the Enma Sword in his hand did not stop, slashing and slashing, and the wounds on his body kept increasing, while the pseudo-holy knight commanders on the other side fell from the air one by one; This continued until the sun set in the west.
After taking out a group of five pseudo-Holy Knight Commanders again, Ye Qi didn't wait for a new five-person group to appear, he patted Groning on the neck, quickly left the battlefield, and returned to the agreed place with Ava - under a mound about two kilometers away from the place in the morning.
Ye Qi jumped straight off the horse, and Groning rested on the side, he was sitting cross-legged - in the middle of the battle, this sudden thought had become a mess, Ye Qi felt that he had to sort it out, otherwise, such a puzzled situation would really make him uncomfortable.
The critical blow I chose to deal in combat is undoubtedly the same as the fatal blow that I have now traded in for my life!
It's all a gap found in the opponent's weakness!
Compared to my habitual way, it is undoubtedly simpler and less labor-saving now.
But this method is based on the premise that I choose to trade injuries for life, and once this mode collapses, then it is not as good as my habitual way of fighting.
And if I want this model not to collapse, I have to be to the point where the teacher said to face death; No matter what the opponent is, I have the belief that I will die with the enemy!
Ye Qi, who sat down and thought, sorted out the relationship between the chaotic thoughts in his mind, but he did not solve the most fundamental problem-
But how do I face death?
The fear of death, my instinctive resistance, that's a fact!
If such instincts are obliterated, what difference is there between me and those pseudo-holy knights?
Moreover, when the teacher talks about facing death, it is obviously not a state of 'ignorance' about death, but it is necessary to understand the meaning, but to be able to face it calmly.
It's just that such a calmness......
A simulated scenario appeared in Ye Qi's mind again-
There are five enemies, who are not much different in strength from me, and have been cornered......
Ye Qi had done such a simulation last night; It's just that, compared to yesterday, today's 'simulation' is more 'realistic', and he divides the strength of each enemy into the same level as himself, and then sets up a special environment like a 'ring', surrounded by cliffs.
So, should I ......
Cliff jumping!
Almost instinctively, such a thought popped up in Ye Qi's heart, and as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, Ye Qi couldn't help but laugh bitterly - in such a situation of facing death, escaping must be the best way, but it is not something he can use at the moment.
I can't escape, I want to face death!
Face the Dead!
Ye Qi said to himself almost hypnotically, and then began to simulate in his mind again.
However, this simulation is obviously very unsmooth, that is, after more than ten seconds, Ye Qi smiled bitterly again and shook his head - although he did not choose to jump off the cliff immediately at the beginning of the first time, but this simulation, in Ye Qi's mind, jumping off the cliff escape is like a lingering shadow, which has been shrouded in his heart, and whenever he thinks about how to deal with it, this idea will quietly pop up.
And this state of affairs continued until the sun completely set, and there was no progress.
PS The first update ~~~ timing~~~
It's going to hurt my back even more...... I'm really going to cry...... Alas, is this decadent too long a codeword...... (To be continued......)
