Chapter 87: The Sea of Flowers (8)
"Leah!! Artoria!! β
"Answer meββ!!"
βExβββ
"Ahh
As Artoria raised her sword above her head, Canquillo's hoarse call came to an abrupt halt, and she pounced on her delicate pale face with a strange scream, interrupting her movements with a punch on her delicate pale face.
Moreover, this seems to be just a punch to interrupt the skill, and it is so powerful that it actually makes Artoria's head turn around her neck for two full two turns, seven hundred and twenty degrees...
Completely broke the outside of the cervical vertebrae, only the muscles and skin that were twisted into a strand were connected, the little head drooped weakly, and the girl's body lost its strength and fell to the ground softly.
But within a few seconds, her head, whose muscles and cervical vertebrae had been destroyed, turned back twice under the repair of some mysterious force, and then raised her proud head again!!
It was a thriller scene, but Canquillo's attention was elsewhere: her tightly coiled hair was lighter.
This is already the seventh time that Canquillo has "killed" her.
Each time, she'll get a little closer to Artoria, but at the same time, she'll be a little stronger in terms of swordsmanship, power, and momentum!
If at the beginning, she was just like a strong but naΓ―ve beast, "preying" aimlessly, then she is now gradually approaching the battle-hardened swordsman! And until this time, the timing and rhythm of her sword raising were close to perfect, if it weren't for the slight delay in her movements when Canquillo shouted that name, even with Canquillo's speed, she might not have been able to stop her from swinging this big move!
However, Canquillo, who "won" again, was a little scared.
Every time she kills that "Artoria", while her sword skills become more proficient, it seems that the total amount of energy she can use has also become less due to the consumption of repairing her body - although this does not mean that she has become weaker, if at the beginning she used 1000% of her strength, then after killing her seven times, she has become able to use 90% of 500% of her strength... The degree of difficulty is still several times higher!
However, it is precisely sensing this decline in total that every time Canquillo throws a punch, he wonders in his heart "Will this be the last time?!" β
Especially just now, she had obviously reacted to her call, but her fist couldn't be contained...
What if I really get killed?
But I still can't help fighting! Not to mention that Canquillo was confident to dodge the blow just now, but if he didn't interrupt, he would blow up half of the town's curry stick, and Canquillo didn't try to lure her to another place, but this "Artoria" action seems to be completely aimed at [eating] as the ultimate goal,
Fortunately, this time she still didn't die, but there was no time for Canquillo to continue to be afraid of rejoicing.
"Al-"
"Tom!!"
She called her name again, but before she could utter two syllables, a burst of wind had already crashed into Canquillo's ears.
And that sense of murderous intent and danger like substance is even faster than this sound!!
While Canquillo was thinking about something else, the opponent in front of him had completely recovered, and jumped up like a spring from the position of kneeling on one knee, leaving a cobweb-like crack on the ground, and the whole person also attacked like a cannonball!!
It's a familiar move, but faster, stronger, more precise, a simple sword, but almost all of Canquillo's dodge space!
If we continue to use the previous statement, "Artoria", who has been killed eight times, has been able to exert 400% of her strength to exert 150% of the effect!!
And not only that, the distracted Canquillo found that the gorgeous two-handed sword in her hand had been "gone" for some time...
However, her movements were still swinging her sword, and Canquillo still felt a familiar, even stronger, feeling of "if you continue to stand here, you will die"!
Of course, Canquilo, who didn't mix with any two-thorn newts before crossing over, would not know what the Wind King enchantment was, but thankfully, he had already been familiar with the length of the sword in the previous battle.
"Mystery - Two Finger Vacuum Handle!!"
There is no way to avoid it, and in the spirit of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, Canquillo used a move to deal with flying props, and luckily caught the blade with two fingers...
But he wasn't stupid enough to wait for the other to turn the blade and cut off his fingers, just a little delay in her movements, and Canquillo had already leaned down with his upper body and feet off the ground, lying on the ground with gravity, and was able to dodge the dangerous sword.
And Canquillo, who was lying on his stomach, his chin and abdomen bulging, his limbs curled up, and his body lowered, as if he was accumulating strength...
"Toad Gong?!"
A nonchalant, familiar voice rang out, making Canquillo's attention inevitably divert for a moment.
However, his "croak" sound came out, and the whole move was already irreversible, and when Xue Qiong's voice fell, Canquilo's limbs had already bounced up, and with a speed several times faster than Artoria, who had been killed eight times, the carrier of extremely terrifying kinetic energy, and the whole head hit her chest straight up!!
In just an instant, the black armor made of magic power exploded into an inert spirit child, and her entire person was also knocked hundreds of meters away under this huge force!
The body was strangely broken in the middle, and Artoria finally "landed" after smashing several houses, but she still rubbed her face on the ground for a long distance, and her head was worn out for a small part before she could digest the impact of the blow...
"Wow, it's still the Fire Cloud Evil God? Didn't you just use that kind of move of the iron-blooded muscular man? Why do you learn from a bald uncle? β
In Jin Yong's world, the toad skill of Ouyang Feng, the western poison, is the kind of static braking and counterattacking, and the fire cloud evil god in kung fu is used as a simple and crude killing move... It seems that Cankilo's moves have been modified a bit, and the charge time is shorter.
But now isn't the time to complain about this, right?!
"You're here... Quackβ"
The two landed on the edge of the town, their ears filled with screams one after another. The townspeople who had fled from the disaster that had just happened had just gathered here, but in their eyes, Canquilo, who was hunted for under the influence of the toad, was more like a villain, and Artoria, who was knocked into an inhuman, ordinary acquaintance, seemed to be a pure victim.
But Canquillo has been a "superhero" for a long time, and he has long been used to many things, so neither Xue Qiong's appearance nor the eyes of the townspeople can stop him from continuing to do what he planned - knock her out of town first and save the lives of these civilians!
Between the safety of these ordinary people and Artoria's "possibility that she will really die this time", Canquillo, who has always practiced her justice, has made a choice!
So the moment he landed, he ignored the gaze of the townspeople and did not hesitate to charge up again!!
"You are not allowed to hurt Sister Leah!"
However, at this moment, a little girl stood between Artoria and Canquillo, and shouted out categorically!
The kid Canquillo also knew, and had just learned to call him by his name the day before yesterday.
And after the first person stepped forward, the townspeople who were originally frightened were actually about ten percent, and dozens of people mustered up their courage and stood in front of Artoria, forming a human wall, while looking at the rest of the people who were scattered and fleeing with disdain.
Rao is a chivalrous and righteous Cankilo for so many years, and in the face of this kind of battle, he had to hesitate for a moment.
"Quack-dodge!!"
But it was this moment of hesitation, a croak, and a time of two words, and Artoria, which was broken in two behind the human wall, had already recovered again under the effect of "Avalon".
At the same time, a burst of black gas rose up in that place!!
The dozens of people who protected her with their lives really lost their lives in the next second. They completely lost their vitality in this burst of black gas, and when the powder turned into a human body dissipated in the wind, everyone present could feel that the sense of danger on that "Artoria" had become a little stronger!!
Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for for Canquillo is that although she has recovered a lot of energy after finally getting "eating", her physical characteristics still maintain the appearance of "Artoria" and do not re-drift to the side of "Flo"...
"Ahh!!!h
Cankilo's eyes were cracked, and he stared at Artoria, who had raised his invisible sword again, and was about to abandon everything and slam into it, when his whole face was suddenly pressed into the dirt by a cold little hand from above.
"That's it!"
"I'm laughing to death..."
While Flo stopped Canquillo, Artoria's movements were blocked by an invisible force. After nine resurrections, her swordsmanship has fully reached the level of Saber, but after all, her brute strength has dropped a lot, and it is still a little difficult to break through forcibly, so for a while, she has recovered a little bit of intelligence, and she also hesitates between Cankilo, an obstacle that will cause trouble sooner or later, and those "food" that are running farther and farther...
Canquillo easily broke free from Flo's restrictions, but the momentum of Toad Gong had finally been broken, and the true qi in his body still needed to be circulated and adjusted, and the new force was not born, so he had to stand in place and cry and scold: "Can't you make a move earlier?!" β
"They're all dead!! They're all dead!! β
"As long as you move a few seconds earlier, a few seconds earlier, dozens of lives..."
"Uh, that..."Xue Qiong raised one hand, maintaining the mental barrier beside Artoria, the smile on her face still undiminished, "When did I say that I was going to save these mentally retarded?" β
"Weak... Wisdom?! β
"Hey, I held her down, what do you think we're going to do next?" Xue Qiong dismissed Cankillo's questioning as nothing, and instead shouted at Flo in the other direction.
Only then did Canquillo notice that there was actually a slap mark on this guy's face.
Flo, on the other hand, didn't make any movement after he broke free from his grip, just stood there in a daze, as if he was distressed about something, "Toad Gong... Fire Cloud Evil God... I think I've heard of it, but I can't remember it..."
"I can't remember, I can't remember... Why can't I remember so many things..."
