Chapter 17: Legends
Above the sky, the clouds kept rolling, faintly majestic, like the calm before a thunderstorm.
In this summer season, I can actually feel a cold that penetrates into my bones.
In the distance, two pitch-black crows stood in the treetops. They tilted their heads, and when they saw the faint green light flickering instantly, they let out a seeping cry, and they didn't know where they were flying.
If there is a superstitious old man who flips through the yellow calendar, he will find that it is written 'everything is not suitable'.
Lin Wu swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously raised his arm to protect his cheek - this was an instinctive reaction, everything was too fast, too fast to make any superfluous movements.
He didn't feel any breath from the other party, like a dead man...... It's more like a body without any feelings.
Puppet.
"Wanted...... Obliterate......! ”
This time, Lin Wu heard clearly.
The chill was getting closer and closer to me, close at hand. There was no temperature, like a piece of iron that was silent in the cold winter - Lin Wu felt it at this end.
The moment his hand was raised, the black shadow's arm suddenly burst out. The fist wind whistled in Lin Wu's ears, rolling up a huge impact, and falling on his arm like a devastating one.
Lin Wu couldn't bear it, and tried his best to support himself with his other arm, completed a difficult back flip on the beam, and rolled down the eaves with the force of the impact.
Before the heart-rending pain came, there was only one word that was introduced into Lin Wu's mind.
Run!
If this punch had hit his temple just now, he would have died on the spot.
The city lord's mansion is surrounded by tiled houses of varying heights, which is the most prosperous area of Beilin City. But the night here is lifeless, as if no one has lived in a long time.
Lin Wu's left arm was unconscious, but it did not affect the speed of his movement, and he was like a fish in water when he fell into the market, far more than the empty roof.
"Damn, is this a human or a ghost......
Before this complaint could fall, the figure of the wind and thunder swept the dust in the air and reappeared at the other end of the alley.
Lin Wu didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he had to grit his teeth and drag his arms and run up.
Fortunately, although this big guy is fast, he doesn't know how to take shortcuts and other skills, Lin Wu only needs to drill into the shortest possible alley and wait for it to chase after him in the middle.
Once he appeared at one end, Lin Wu turned directly into the alley on the other side to buy time to breathe.
"Whew, with such a lot of power and size, I can't imagine that I am a fool."
He played the 'puppet' more than a dozen times like this, and I don't know why he can feel a sense of pride. seems to say again: No matter how good you are, it's not that you can't catch up with me.
Lin Wu grinned, and then a drop of cold sweat fell into his neck, and he quickly shrank his head and squatted down on the spot.
In a flash of lightning, a heavy fist pierced through the wall behind Lin Wu and stretched out on Lin Wu's head.
The sound of swallowing saliva, mixed with the cracking of walls and the sliding of tiles, was somewhat noisy and silent.
Lin Wu jumped onto the roof, and at this moment he kept warning himself to be calm and cautious.
This is the most crucial element when it comes to fighting to the death, you just have to think about how to survive, and-
How to kill each other.
"You ......"
Seeing that the other party didn't pull his hand out of the wall for a long time, Lin Wu certainly wouldn't feel that he was stuck.
"You're the little brother who helped me talk today, and I thought you were a good person at the time......"
This was the first time Lin Wu had seen the other party's appearance clearly, except for the pair of dark green glowing eyes, other features were easy to ignore.
At this moment, Lin Wu was condescending, and finally saw clearly.
He remembered for no reason that when he crossed the city pass today, there was an officer and soldier who embarrassed him and insulted his grandfather's past, while the other was fighting with him and sticking to justice.
It's the one in front of you.
Although they looked the same, Lin Wu could feel that the breath and the coldness that did not belong to people were completely different.
Especially the dark green eyes.
The roar sounded again, and the puppet struck another powerful blow, and the wall collapsed, and Lin Wu jumped and climbed onto another roof.
This time on the back of the puppet.
He only saw two large seal characters written on the pitch-black armor.
"Bronze General!"
Lin Wu didn't know the meaning of these two words, only that he turned his head and that he was going to jump off the wall and flee in all directions.
In the market around the city lord's mansion, the walls were shattered like tofu by the 'copper general', and this was not a matter of quality.
Another sturdy boy deftly dodged the opponent's charging route, jumped onto the eaves, and climbed down the wall.
After half an hour of stalemate, Lin Wu gradually figured out the other party's way of action, but he still didn't dare to decide.
Lin Wu felt his heart sink, this feeling was somewhat familiar, it was his grandfather who was communicating with him.
“……”
Nodding quickly, Lin Wu ran down the street, not forgetting to glance at the shops on both sides, and then staring at a signboard in the depths.
He was a little overjoyed.
"Behind!"
Lin Yan was a little anxious, he watched his grandson wander on the tip of the knife, and every time the puppet appeared, his heart tightened.
This dead old man, he didn't recognize his grandson, so he let him die!
Lin Wu got his grandfather's instructions, and dodged the puppet's punch sideways, but he still didn't stand firm and fell.
Where did he have time to get up, Lin Wu just rolled forward and pressed his left arm, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth.
"Your uncle!!"
After scolding, he could only continue to rush forward. Lin Wu finally arrived in front of the signboard, regardless of whether there was anyone behind the door, and crashed into it.
This is a blacksmith shop.
Lin Yan felt a little nostalgic. When he first crossed into this world, he had been an apprentice in this blacksmith shop, so he was all too familiar with it.
Since it is copper, human bones appear vulnerable...... But there are naturally things that are harder than you!
Lin Wu didn't know what his grandfather was thinking, but he had listened to his grandfather since he was a child, and entered the store - obviously there was no one, he went to the second floor without thinking about it, turned around and flashed into a small room.
The clatter of metals, the sound of scattering all over the place.
Sure enough, the bronze general's figure stopped, as if he couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.
Only those dark green eyes flickered, staring dead upstairs.
Lin Wu held the blacksmith's hammer in his hand, holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to make a sound.
He leaned back in the stairwell, where the day workers lived, and it was relatively small, and the only space he could use was this.
"Whew...... Whew......"
The stairs creaked.
The hammer in Lin Wu's hand was held tighter, if his grandfather's guess was correct, this guy ......
Before Lin Wu's thoughts fell, the sound of the stairs suddenly stopped. Sweat continued to slide down his forehead, and an ominous premonition rose from his heart.
"Obliterate ......"
The faint green light flickered, and Lin Wu was close at hand.
