Chapter 40: Challenging the Guardians
After drinking two bottles of Nutrition Express, he continued to practice for 20 minutes, until there was a faint feeling of fullness in his body, and Du Mu opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
In just half an hour, he actually felt a slight increase in strength, lightness, and muscle density all over his body, and it was obvious that the effect of this cultivation was very significant.
"If it goes on like this, before the martial arts exam, my three dominant attributes should be able to break through another level!"
Du Mu was happy in his heart, got up and practiced swordsmanship, and then patted his head as if he remembered something, and then used the combat power detector on himself.
'Combat Strength: 39'
"Well, it's up 4 points, and it's not far from 42!" Du Mu's face looked thoughtful, "Maybe I can challenge the guardians now?"
The difference between the 3 points of combat power is not big, and the strength of the defender is only less than one percent higher than him, and it is not enough to crush him, even if he can't beat it, it is not difficult to escape.
And if you can take out the guardians, you can explore the mysterious halo at the end of the street without any worries.
Thinking of this, Du Mu quickly made a decision.
Done!
Now that he can obtain less and less nightmare energy, the help of the capsule toy machine is gradually weakening, and the growth of his strength is like falling into a quagmire, and the speed is outrageously slow.
Although the situation has improved slightly now with the proficient-level Bailuo Breathing Method, Du Mu is still not satisfied with this situation.
He is desperate to break out of the predicament in front of him!
And the hope of solving this dilemma may be hidden in that halo.
After sitting quietly for a moment and returning to his heyday, Du Mu took out the black sword, left the apartment and walked to the street, heading to the left.
As usual, the streets were filled with a faint fog that blurred the vision in the distance.
However, it seems that because of the breakthrough in perception, his field of vision has now expanded to twenty meters away, and he can find the traces of the Faceless One from a long distance, and he is not afraid of being attacked by sneak attacks.
On the way, he occasionally encountered a few faceless people, all of whom were killed by him with a sword strike.
Du Mu once observed with a probe that the combat effectiveness of the Faceless was generally between 15 and 17.
As his strength became stronger and stronger, the Faceless Man who had forced him to flee in embarrassment was now unable to make even a single move under his hands, which was evident in the rapid growth of his strength.
After a short time, Du Mu came to the place where the capsule toy machine was, but unfortunately he was unlucky tonight, and not a single coin was burst along the way, so he had to shake his head and walk straight by.
Speaking of the fact that since he drew the combat power detector, Du Mu has never drawn any new items from the gacha, and the items drawn are mostly nutrition express, demon juice and happy water, which made him once slander that this is a drink vending machine instead of a gachapon machine.
In addition, there are several common items such as fate coins, naval soldier figures, lamp shells, and water shells.
Du Mu guessed that there might only be seven or eight of these things in the capsule toy machine.
While turning the thought in his mind, Du Mu cautiously walked forward, and after a while, he saw the tall and strong figure of the guardian in his field of vision, as well as the purple, blue, and blue halo behind it, and the light was constantly circulating.
'Combat Strength: 42'
The data in the upper left corner of the field of vision surfaced, and Du Mu stopped at a distance of twenty-seven or eight meters from the halo, and looked at the defender carefully.
Perhaps because of the increase in strength, compared to the first time he saw the Guardian, the pressure it put on Du Mu was much less, and the huge and heavy figure like a mountain seemed to be less intimidating now.
"Maybe it's because the level of will has increased. Du Mu guessed in his heart, "The stronger the will, the higher the resistance to murderous aura and strong momentum." ”
That's a good sign!
At least when you fight, you don't have to worry about being suppressed by the opponent's momentum and affecting your play!
Du Mu tightened the black sword in his hand and slowly paced towards the guard.
Twenty-five meters!
Twenty-three meters!
Twenty-one meters!
When Du Mu stepped into the area twenty meters in front of the halo, the defender's body shook sharply, his low-hanging head suddenly raised, and under the thick horn helmet, two points of blood suddenly lit up in the eye sockets as dark as the night.
Rumble!
The air burst in an instant, and in Du Mu's shocked gaze, the defender stepped on the ground with one foot, and the huge silver-gray figure rushed towards him like a charging tank, and the giant sword in his hand as wide as a door panel was raised high, and then slashed down suddenly, bringing a whistling wind.
Du Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he didn't think about it, and the whole person quickly rushed to the left.
Bang!
The hard street ground was shattered, and a large amount of rubble was splattered like bullets, and many stones hit Du Mu's body, smashing out bruises.
Du Mu grinned in pain, tilted his head slightly, and just caught a glimpse of the giant sword that was deeply embedded in the ground out of the corner of his eye, he heard a dull whistling behind him, he didn't say a word, his body suddenly tensed, and he used the iron block.
In the next second, the huge fist wrapped in silver-gray armor slammed into Du Mu's back like a cannonball.
An invisible wave of qi rippled out from the place where the fist and the back came into contact in an instant, and after only a stalemate of less than half a second, Du Mu snorted, and the whole person flew forward seven or eight meters, rolled a few times before unloading his strength and stabilizing his body.
When he raised his head again, there was already a clear trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Damn, this guy has so much strength that he can't even block his fist with an iron block!"
The defender not far away drew his greatsword and struck at him again.
Without having time to think about it, Du Mu quickly turned sideways to avoid the attacking giant sword, which slashed into the ground and exploded a large amount of rubble.
The tiny stone smashed on Du Mu's body, but he didn't care about it, and the black sword in his hand slashed out, like a poisonous snake shooting, and two quick slashes hit the joint seam at the elbow of the defender's armor in succession.
Snake devour!
The dull sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded, and the defender's arm sank, trembled, and then pulled out the giant sword on the ground as if nothing happened, and smashed it at Du Mu like a giant hammer.
Du Mu ducked down, and the black sword stabbed out with lightning, hitting the defender's elbow joint again impartially.
As early as in the previous hand-to-hand encounter, Du Mu found that there was no entity in the defender's armor, only a deep darkness.
When the black sword struck the defender's armor, there was even a hollow metal crash.
This seems to be good news, meaning that the entity of the guardian is the armor, and if you destroy the latter, it will naturally die.
However, according to Du Mu's observation, the defender's armor is at least a knuckle thick, and the defensive power of this thickness of armor can be called terrifying, even if his strength is two or three times stronger, he can't even think of breaking it.
After perceiving this, Du Mu decisively gave up the frontal hard attack, and instead continued to attack the weak point of the defender's armor, that is, the seams of the joints in various places, and the most critical one was the seam of the armor's right elbow.
Destroying this joint is equivalent to abolishing the guardian's right arm, and the latter's attack power and attack speed will undoubtedly be greatly reduced if he cannot hold the sword in both hands.
Boom! Boom!
The guardian swung his greatsword and smashed the ground around him into huge craters, the hard stone fragile under its sword, no different from tofu.
Du Mu's spirit was highly concentrated, staring at the defender's giant sword without blinking, his body was agile to dodge the opponent's attacks, and occasionally grabbed a flaw, he would immediately launch a counterattack and slash at the opponent's elbow joint.
It adds up!
Although every time his elbow was attacked, the defender looked as if nothing had happened, but as time passed, Du Mu sensitively noticed that the defender's attack had a slight delay, and the movement of swinging the sword was no longer as agile as it was at the beginning.
This discovery lifted his spirits, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and continued to attack.
Finally, after the Guardian was hit by the snake for the fifth time in the same elbow joint, there was an imperceptible click in its elbow armor, and its movements were slightly distorted.
Even in the fierce battle, Du Mu's powerful perception still caught the sound for the first time.
In the next second, his eyes froze sharply, and at the moment when the guardian's movements were deformed, he suddenly let out a low roar, and his right upper arm suddenly swelled and bulged, and layers of strength were transmitted through the muscles, converging into the palm, driving the black sword to tear through the air, like a cold black light falling down, slashing the defender's elbow joint.
Click!
This time the sound was audible!
The black sword was deeply embedded in the guard's elbow joint, and seeing this, Du Mu mustered up the last trace of strength, and pressed the blade down with all his might, and when he landed, he heard a crisp click, and a piece of armor arm fell to the ground with a clatter.
