Chapter 15: Storm Swordmaster
Whoosh——!
The high-speed swing of the heavy punch burst through the air, turning into a blazing streamer that extended out. Visually, it was a straight and shiny golden line, and it hit the golden spear head-on in an instant.
Boom ——!
Two straight golden beams collided head-on, centered on the point of contact, and the singularity of the deflected light flickered for a while, and then the spherical shockwave that expanded into a water-streaked shape spread out. A thick layer of red sand on the ground was swept by the shock wave, and from the center of the explosion there were wavy folds that spread out in concentric circles.
"Drink ——!"
Evan exhaled, hunched his back and knees forward, his spine rose and fell like a long dragon, and his wrist rolled inward, as if a big gun was twisting and spiraling. One arm resisted the rushing force of the golden spear, and in an instant, the person moved his feet, stepped out in half a step, and the strength and light energy on the fist peak exploded again.
Bang——!
The golden flame on the fist peak filled with light energy erupted, forming a tangible and insubstantial spherical shockwave, instantly blasting the golden spear away diagonally.
Whoosh——!
At the moment when he knocked his opponent's weapon into the air, Ivan scurried forward with his back down, leaning forward, and his feet touching the ground at high speed, like a fierce horse galloping. Dragged a heavy afterimage in front of his opponent, and threw a hard punch to his head.
"A very imposing blow, however!"
The dragon slayer unhurriedly raised his shield to block, while bowing his head short, enveloping his entire body under the protection of the shield.
Boom ——!
The golden streamer slammed into the shield with sharp edges, and a large arc of shattered light erupted! Evan's punch full of light energy hit the shield, and it was actually shocked by the power that erupted in the shield, and the condensed light flame shattered into countless sparks in an instant.
"What a sturdy shield, a curious anti-shock force. ”
Ivan was amazed in his heart, and at the same time, he memorized the mystery of this power in his mind, and quickly integrated it into his martial arts system. And just before he could unload his power, another unstoppable force surged from the round shield, as if a group of fierce beasts were slamming into Leon at the same time - this is the power of the dragon slayer's soul fire, with the power to collide, shock, and reinforce. Even a simple blow from the shield is powerful enough to crack the rocks.
Roar——!
Ivan felt dizzy in his mind, and his ears seemed to hear the roars of countless overlapping beasts, which were as long as horns, and came at him with the tremendous impact and concussion.
Bang——!
Under the impact of the soul fire, Ivan was knocked out by the shield, and flew diagonally into the sky like a kite with a broken string.
"Feel the powerlessness! Experience the feeling of being completely suppressed! This is the punishment you chose to face me with your bare hands!" the dragon slayer said loudly, as he stretched out his hand and gestured, as if to order something.
"Huh!?"
Evan who was shocked into the air felt a strong danger, and suddenly came to his senses, and his mental power suddenly radiated in all directions, and found that a golden flash of light behind him was attacking him like an arrow!
“......”
Ivan instantly twisted his waist and regained his balance in mid-air, leaping two feet higher again as if he were riding against the wind. But the golden spear that came from behind changed its trajectory, as if it would shoot at the right target as long as the dragon slayer stared at him.
Whoosh——!
Just as the golden spear was about to hit Evan, he spun around and threw a roundhouse kick that spewed golden light from his swept right leg. Releasing energy in the most efficient way, a prismatic shield of light is formed on the surface of the shin in an instant!
The shield was as thin as a plastic film, as if it were fragile, like a straw blowing out a bubble of soapy water, as if even the slightest touch of the breeze would shatter it. The shield of light trembled and formed majestically, and the rhythm of high frequency, bursts of light waves rippled out from the center of the shield, that is, the position of the shin of the legs.
Boom ——!
The blow swept like a giant axe slashing the golden spear, with a sharp bang. The golden spear that flew from it didn't shake the shield of light that seemed to be like a plastic film, but instead rubbed a large amount of light as if it had hit an unmistakable diamond. Then, like a javelin thrown out, it flew along the curve to a hundred meters away, and pierced into a copper pillar on the periphery of the competitive platform.
Ivan fell to the ground with a bent turn, the light flame burning in the depths of his pupils, and after landing on the ground, he took a big stride towards his opponent - the power of his whole body quickly gathered and compressed, forming a powerful propulsion, which suddenly exploded as he pedaled on his legs.
Sneer——!
His figure flashed forward, his right hand clenched into eagle talons and swept upward, stabbing at his opponent like a sharp sword.
"Huh...... Are you going to do it again to no avail!?"
The dragon slayer straightened his back and quickly raised his right hand to raise his shield and rushed forward, as if a galloping armored car was rushing towards him. And at the moment of crashing into the opponent, he pinned the round shield with his backhand, sent his right shoulder to the back of the shield, and at the same time rushed with the force of the soles of his feet, and ran over with the momentum of the collapse.
Phew——!
At the same time, Ivan staggered his steps, and his figure suddenly deflected horizontally, and his hands were clenched into eagle claws and swept out one after another. Suddenly, a whirlwind swept up, and his left hand brought up an afterimage in an instant, as if it had differentiated into hundreds of eagle talons, and the shadows covered the space, grabbing the opponent at the same time.
Sneer——!
Hundreds of remnants of Eagle Claw blasted towards the round shield, but all of them were false moves, and although they were fast, they were not lethal at all, so that the impact that the dragon slayer had condensed to the extreme completely missed.
In the gap where the opponent is in the air because of the power, causing the old force to skip the new force. Ivan stared, and his right hand immediately turned into a knife, drawing a piercing arc of light from the side towards the throat that the dragon slayer had no time to protect.
呲——!
The crimson blood spurted out a long rainbow, and the terrible blood was frozen in mid-air, and then dripped to the ground like a torrential rain. The figure of the dragon slayer also stopped at this moment, and quickly faded illusory - the body was directly teleported to the outside of the field, although the wound had begun to heal, but under the camera, the medical staff who had been waiting for a long time still quickly stepped forward to stop the bleeding and heal his wounds.
At this moment, above the competitive platform, the physical strength gauge and the charging gauge presented by the two in three-dimensional images were also locked and blackened at the same time. You can see that the stamina gauge next to Ivan's avatar is almost full of health, and the charge bar is also completely full, and you can summon teammates to protect you at any time. And the dragon slayer's avatar has turned into a red cross, because he has suffered a lot of damage, and the charge bar is basically full, which is considered a gift for his teammates.
One by one, one by one
From the time the dragon slayer threw the golden spear to the time Evan tore his throat, it took a few minutes just to write it down and make people read, but it was only a few seconds to do.
It is difficult for martial artists to have a protracted battle with each other, and often a higher level of skill can show a huge gap.
In the audience, the onlookers have been attracted by such a rapid and wonderful duel, even from a distance of hundreds of meters, under the telescope and high-powered imaging lens, people can feel the thrilling killing machine in just a few seconds!
Whether it was the dragon slayer's golden spear that could be fired remotely, or Ivan's hand knife that tore the opponent's throat at the moment of collision, it was a sight that far exceeded the dynamic vision of most of the people present. As a result, most of the audience could only see golden flashes of light colliding with each other for a few seconds—and then Evan's figure fell into the air, slamming into the dragon slayer and tearing his throat with a wave of his hand.
But it didn't matter if they didn't see clearly, because above the arena, stereoscopic images of the two fighting were being replayed over and over again. There are battle shots that zoom in and slow down, there are dismantled breakdown shots of skills, and there are deliberately slowed down kill ends, which are enough to make the audience who can't keep up with their eyesight watch it happily.
One by one, one by one
"It's a good thing that I let you lose, you let Bakar know this title, I'm afraid I'm going to be beheaded all over the house. Evan looked at the dragon slayer who was half-pushed and half-healed on the sidelines, and silently complained in his heart, and then watched another opponent coming towards him.
"I'm Storm Sword Saint Leon!"
With such a voice, a man with a two-handed greatsword almost taller than a man slowly walked from the other side of the arena, he stopped about ten meters away from Ivan and then squinted his eyes to observe him carefully.
The man who called himself the Storm Sword Saint squinted his eyes and looked at his opponent, his strange gray eyes seemed to be dim, but it made Ivan feel that he was locked by the other party's qi.
"I'm ...... Evan ......" Ivan introduced himself in a very low-key manner.
"Isn't it the flame of fate!?
Leon sneered, but Leon gripped the hilt of his sword with his backhand, and stabbed his opponent with a sword - a flash of lightning flashed, pulling a long arc of lightning along the blade of the axe, crackling, and the arc had leapt towards the Ivan over a distance of ten meters.
But before the arc could touch Evan's skin, it was blocked by a realm that was visible to the naked eye, and lightning sparked. The layer of red sand under Ivan immediately turned black and wrinkled, but he himself did not move at all, and not even the corners of his clothes were blown in the slightest.
"Very good, take me a ghosting lightsaber!"
The sword master failed to raise his giant sword, and the gray-black cloak was also raised, and an invisible wind pressure suddenly swept the red sand all over the ground, forming a sandstorm that drowned himself and his opponent. Leon hid in the depths of the wind and sand, clenched the giant sword in his hand, and the moment the blade flew, he opened a sword net as dense as raindrops at Ivan as soon as the blade flew.
The next moment, the red wind-blown sand-covered arena was suddenly surrounded by the light and shadow of the sword net.
Sneer——!
Within a radius of several tens of meters centered on Evan, the entire area was densely covered with black sword shadows, and the sword master differentiated into afterimages of shadows, which quickly tightened around the black-haired knight like a bird.
“......”
Ivan looked at the sword net with a calm expression, but he recalled how he felt when he fought the dragon slayer and hit his shield with a punch - there is no doubt that that shield is definitely the nemesis of most swordsmanship, and if you can imitate its countershock with your strength, then the opponent in front of you is no threat!
"Combined with light energy and my experience with the absolute realm, it's not difficult to do that. Thinking of this, he suddenly clenched his fist with one hand, placed it flat in front of him, and his five fingers instantly opened and closed, moving like a wheel.
呲呲呲——!
With a piercing roar, between the strokes of Ivan and his five fingers, a golden flame of light quickly converged and converged, as if a golden octagonal light shield was spinning. Between the movements of his five fingers, the light shield was constantly changing angles, and it looked like a dart with a sharp edge spinning at high speed.
Whoosh——!
The light wheel slammed directly into the shrinking sword net, and the sword light collided like an arc jumping, and dense sparks exploded from the space.
Sneer——!
The black blades flickered and swam like thin snakes, dancing and shrinking inward. On the other hand, Ivan's five fingers moved faster and faster, and the edge of the light shield continued to expand outward while protecting him from the sword light.
Suddenly, he shook with one hand, and his five fingers held the light shield and smashed into the void, and the sword light where he passed suddenly cracked and splashed. At the same time, Ivan unleashed a whirlwind slashing fist with his other hand, and golden arcs of light surged out of his fingers like a torrential rain, slamming into the surrounding remnants.
Bell Bell Bell Qiang Qiang ——!
The air within a radius of thirty meters seemed to be like a turbulent undercurrent, violently shaking, and countless sparks in the space exploded with continuous explosions. The remnants of the Tempest Sword Master's differentiation collapsed one after another, revealing the true body in the southwest corner, and then slid backwards like a ghost.
“......”
Ivan exhaled slightly, and the five fingers of his right hand rotated and closed again, moving like a wheel, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into an angular golden shield of light.
Whoosh——!
The moment the shield solidified, Ivan swooped down with the shield in his hand, exactly as the dragon slayer had done before crashing into him.
"What kind of boxing is this? It looks like a sharp blade? No matter how you look at it, it feels familiar. The Storm Sword Master's face suddenly changed color, and he hurriedly swung his sword and slashed as he retreated, and the pitch-black sword body broke through the air and pulled out a blurred arc of light.
Whoosh——!
The blurred arc of light did not escape after flying out, but condensed into a point from beginning to end, and then stretched forward into thousands of dense slashes, shooting at the opponent along a straight linear trajectory.
"Use this blow to test the power of my new boxing technique!" Ivan pursed his lips, his eyes sideways, and his footsteps flashed on the ground. The lightning flint out his right hand and pushed the high-speed rotating light shield in his hand towards the layers of sword light.
Bang bang bang——!
There was a loud noise, like a machine gun bullet pouring down on the bunker, and although the shield was cut in a thousand holes, it was not broken after all. Ivan also took this opportunity to close the distance between himself and the Storm Sword Saint, and his fingers swirled against the light shield, and instantly pinched into the talons of the eagle and probed his throat.
