87. Testing

The black figure flickered rapidly in the sunlight.

It's just a forward action, but it can easily pull out several staggered figures, making it difficult to distinguish the position of the real body.

Anna has almost exerted her advantages to an extreme extent, which is already beyond the strength of ordinary lower-rank golden powerhouses, if it weren't for the insufficient accumulation of fighting energy, Anna can now start to try to contact the power of the law, and carry out preliminary body strengthening, in order to prepare for the impact on the realm of the lower holy realm.

But even so, she has quite good fighting ability.

The long knife swung with a piercing whistling sound, like a magician's blade of wind.

Sean swung his sword to block, seemingly hastily but easily pointed at the tip of Anna's long knife, and unloaded more than eighty percent of the power with extremely clever dark force shock. Then his body moved slightly, he took a step back, and the sword in his hand broke away from Anna's attack circle, which forced Anna to enter the realm of the trough - if you want to pursue, you must follow the advance, so that you can include Sean in the attack circle again, but Sean is obviously ready to counterattack, just waiting for Anna to start a pursuit; And if you give up the pursuit, the initiative of the offensive and defensive rhythm will change hands, and Sean can also fully launch the prepared counterattack.

In other words, no matter what choice Anna makes, she has completely lost the initiative at this moment.

If it was a general competition, it would have basically ended here.

The two sides can barely be considered a draw.

It's just that Anna's personality is obviously a relatively strong person, and after this momentary judgment, she gritted her teeth and clenched the hilt of her sword again. Then he took a sudden step forward and once again included Sean in his own circle of attack.

The weapon used by Anna. It is a single-edged blade with a slight curve, and this type of weapon is commonly known as the chopping blade. It's just that this one of hers is a little longer than the regular chopping blade. The body of the sword alone is more than 1.5 meters, the handle is 20 centimeters long, and the whole blade is almost the same height as Anna. Known for its sharpness, weight, and destructive power, it is usually the usual weapon of the power swordsman of the Xun Sword and Fast Sword genres.

In the face of Anna's fierce desire to attack, Sean seemed to have expected it, and his face did not show any nervousness.

"Against the current!"

Anna let out a deep sigh, and the wrists of both hands holding the sword paused, and the sword momentum of the right cut suddenly stoppedβ€”the air flow that was swept up by the right cut of the long knife. After a long sword, all the air currents surrounded the blade, bringing out a white cyclone visible to the naked eye; Immediately after that, with a turn of both wrists and a lift of the arm, the long knife suddenly slashed backwards, and all the air currents immediately rose along the sword body, turning into a whistling sharp wind blade breaking through the air.

The movement of lifting the sword is very slow, as if it is trying to pick up a thousand tons.

The wind blade that can break through the air is fast and dense, and endless.

Sean took a step back. The sword on his right hand swept left and right, and the power of each blow was used just right: it was enough to deflect or shatter these wind blade currents, but it didn't put any load on itself, causing it to fall into a state of hard stun for the move. And at the moment of every shot. Sean will also take the opportunity to hit Anna's long sword, and although the power impact is very small each time, Anna can't help but accumulate the power of the number of hits.

Small vibrations echoed back from the sword. The shock made Anna's palms slightly numb, and there was a faint feeling that the weapon was out of her hands.

"Break the Sky!"

Unwilling to admit defeat, Anna sighed again. The sword movement accelerated, and the cyclone eruption around it spun rapidly.

When the blade lifted to aim at Sean's ribcage. Anna stepped forward again, and the power of her hands burst out, and the long knife suddenly stabbed straight at Sean like a sharp sword.

In an instant, all the cyclones surrounding the sword body immediately turned into a thick white light, as if the sword body of a long knife suddenly became longer, and its speed was completely beyond imagination, not giving the opponent any time to react at all, especially at such a close distance. What's more, this abruptly lengthened air sword is thicker than the long knife that was originally held in his hand, and it is definitely more than enough to directly devour Sean's entire upper body.

"Anna!"

A few fierce shouts suddenly sounded, and Phil and Luo rushed over directly.

But because of the distance, even if the two of them came quickly, the eruption of sword qi still couldn't be stopped!

Seeing that Sean was about to be buried under the sword qi, in the blinded white light that burst out, Sean's still calm and calm voice sounded: "Broken night." ”

In the white mang, countless sword qi erupted suddenly.

Each black sword qi was like a real sword - even if everyone who witnessed these black swords knew that it was a sword qi condensation form, they would still be amazed at the realism and condensation form of these sword qi. Countless sharp swords pierced out in the white mang, completely cutting this thick white sword qi into countless pieces, and then the power of the two sword qi collided and began to neutralize and dissolve each other, until it completely disappeared.

Then, when the white sword aura disappeared completely, Sean finally appeared intact in front of everyone, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief - although Sean's face was extremely pale at this time, and the clothes on his body were torn and embarrassed, but at least the fact that he was alive was indeed worth celebrating.

Especially those who have been teamed up with Anna for a while, they know what Anna's thick white sword light means just now.

The black-haired woman, the captain of this weird bounty team, Yun, looked at Sean like a hungry wolf for a long time, and her eyes were shining.

"Are you alright?" The first to run towards Sean was Anna, and the nervous look on her face was not fake, "Really...... I'm really sorry, I was so excited that I couldn't control myself, but it's okay...... Good thing you can break my waterfall. It's true...... I'm really sorry! ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Sean pretended to be generous and stopped, and the look on his face showed extreme weakness very well, "It seems that I lost." ”

"No, I'm the one who lost." Anna said with a serious face. "You're in a competitive mentality, but I can't control myself halfway through. It's real. So if you're serious, I'm afraid I'm the one who died by now. …… That trick just now. It's called 'Broken Night', right? It's really powerful, it's the first time I've seen such a condensed sword qi, and your swordsmanship is the strongest I've seen so far. ”

Sean silently rolled his eyes inwardly: if he didn't have this level, he wouldn't have the title of Sword Master.

But Shaun's heart was still very shocked that Anna was able to force herself to use "Broken Night". This is one of the three major sword moves he created himself, and it has extremely strong lethality, even if he deliberately weakened the power of Shattered Night in order to match his identity at the moment, and even let himself show his exhaustion and weakness after performing his stunt. But none of this can hide the fact that Anna is extremely combative.

Of course, as Anna said, if it was really a fighting battle, Anna would not have had a chance to perform any countercurrents, breaking the sky, or waterfalls, and Sean would definitely kill her with the first sword. However, when he suppressed his own strength to the corresponding level of high-ranking gold, he was still forced to use special sword skills due to carelessness and contempt for the enemy, which really made Sean feel incredible.

It's just that in this way, Sean can't help but think of a question.

Why is it that Sean has never heard of someone with potential and talent like Anna?

The Void Principality's special intelligence agency: The Void Realm. Now, in addition to being responsible for related espionage collection work, counter-espionage work, assassination, secret guards and other routine work, it also includes recruiting outstanding talents from all over the world and persuading them to join the Void Duchy. In the same way, there will also be some talents who cannot be determined by the Void Realm. These talents will make a form and then submit it to Sean, Neil, Cecilia, William, Hela, and others to decide whether to recruit or not.

Previously, when Sean was dealing with affairs in Gorge Fortress and Oasis City, he included the decision to screen for talent. But he can be sure. I didn't see the names of any of them on that screening list, such as Anna, Yun, or Big Manβ€”and only those three words deserved Sean's attention. Like that assassin Luo and another vicissitudes of life Uncle Phil, although their strength is not bad. But in reality, the potential is largely exhausted, and it is not worth investing in and nurturing.

"It's really amazing." Yun also walked over at this time, and at the same time applauded excitedly, "It's really a wonderful competition." ”

Sean gave the other party an angry look.

Yesterday, Anna said that she had the opportunity to learn swordsmanship with Sean, and Sean said that it was just a polite gesture, but she didn't expect that the woman Yun would directly arrange today's competition, and she said that she wanted to test Sean's personal strength. So in desperation, Sean had to follow the bounty team to the field to conduct this test that did not interest him at all.

Of course, at first, Sean was really not interested, after all, it gave him the feeling that he was bullying the trumpet.

However, as the exchange deepened, Sean gradually began to discover that Anna's potential was very good, and she was indeed good at swordsmanship. This attracted Sean's real attention, and he took a little more seriously, no longer just a simple perfunctory, but he didn't expect it to be so big that he almost couldn't get off the stage.

But in this way, it makes Sean more suitable for the identity he faked.

- Zorro, a high-ranking golden powerhouse, a regular swordsman who walks the path of balance. There are no obvious shortcomings and shortcomings, the only drawback is that the attack range is quite small, which is more suitable for a solo combat environment rather than a chaotic combat environment.

"Hey, I'll just say he's amazing." The big man ran over and patted Sean on the shoulder, although such an action could not hurt Sean, but Sean still showed that he was very weak now, and he was hurt by the big man's slap like this.

"I said big man, if you keep shooting like this, Lily will be busy in a while." Phil touched his chin, looked at Sean's pained grinning, and smiled and quipped, "Glad you're on board, Zorro." …… But why don't you use your sword? ”

"This one?" Sean patted the Black King on his waist, "This one doesn't work, he only unsheaths it when dealing with enemies." Because when I first got this sword, it was an accident, so as long as the sword is drawn out of the sheath, then I will definitely drink blood and devour souls, so if it is just a competition, I will not use this sword. ”

"Magic weapons?" Silent, as if he would always be a pair of millions of gold coins owed to him, Luo suddenly spoke.

"Maybe, I haven't been careful about it, just have a weapon at hand, right?" Sean smiled and didn't dwell on the topic any longer.

Ordinary people can't see the true origin of the Black King, but the Black King's extraordinary qualities can still be felt to some extent, especially the sharpness, as long as you draw your sword and look at it, you can clearly know it. And a magic weapon like this will naturally never appear in the identity that Sean is now disguised, which is why Sean will set himself an extra "only good at fighting alone, not good at melee".

"Okay, okay, in terms of strength, I think everyone has been confirmed." Yun smiled and clapped his hands, pulling everyone's attraction back, "Next, we only have a tacit understanding with each other that needs to be tempered." …… I have a suggestion here, why don't we go to the neighborhood and find some small tasks to do first, and then get acquainted with each other, how about it? ”

"That's a good idea." Phil nodded approvingly.

Only Sean frowned slightly.

"How?" Yun keenly noticed Sean's face.

"I'm not very good at dogfights, after all, I've always been used to walking alone." Sean said with an embarrassed face, "It's okay for you to let me fight with the other party, but when it comes to this, ...... cooperation."

"That's why I said I needed to run in." Yun smiled and said, "There are some things that you won't know the result if you don't try them." …… If you really don't want to pull out your sword, of course we won't force you, who doesn't have a little privacy. Rest assured, each of us has our own secrets. ”

"That'...... All right. Sean knew that Yun was playing tricks on his own words, but he didn't mind, he just pretended not to know anything, and reluctantly agreed.

"So where do we go for run-in training?" Anna asked.

"That's the place." Yun thought for a moment and said, "I'm still a little curious about that place. If it weren't for the big man who said it was dangerous that day......"

"That place?" Sean was stunned for a moment,

"That's where we found the seven members of the White Wolf Squad turned into char that day." The big man spoke, "There's a catacombs in that place, and we were going to explore it. But that day brought me a strong sense of danger, so at that time we were hesitating to go to the catacombs, but before we could discuss the results, the White Wolf Squad was completely wiped out. ”

"Oh?" Sean raised an eyebrow.

He knew that there was something wrong with this team of bounty hunters, at least it was definitely not a bounty hunter born and raised here in the Ryan Kingdom, and it should belong to an "outsider". Then the next question is worth pondering, a group of outsiders has discovered a catacomb, and it is worth pondering.

Perhaps, they are here for this catacomb?

It's just that the incident of Elizabeth and others going into exile happened unexpectedly.

So in this case, it is very likely that Elizabeth, the Marquis of Floris, Folsis and others were hiding in this catacomb?

"Isn't this catacomb dangerous?" Sean asked tentatively, "Have you explored before?" ”

"This catacombs are very unusual, we have only entered the second layer after exploring for a few days, we suspect that this should be a hidden royal tomb of the Ryan family, from this point of view, it is very likely to be a five-story tomb size." It was Luo who answered, and it was hard to imagine that this cold assassin would have such a high level of enthusiasm when mentioning such shady things, "There are not many agencies, so in fact, the danger is not particularly high." It's just that...... There are some undead creatures in the tombs, but all the ones encountered so far are relatively low-level undead, but we do not rule out high-level undead creatures. ”

"Undead creatures?" Sean's brow furrowed even tighter, "Could it be that the death tide on the side of the Covenant Empire has broken out in the last thousand years, so it has awakened these undertakers?" ”

"Whatever the reason, undead creatures are something that is easier to deal with, and I think it's the best place for us to train our tacit understanding." (To be continued.) )
