Chapter 30: Face to face
In the steel jungle of the city, there is silence only the sound of hurried footsteps echoing through the staggered streets
Qiu Chen walked quickly through a gap between two tall buildings, he had always thought that he was in a strange city, but after entering these buildings, he found that these so-called buildings were not buildings at all, but just some messy stones that were polished and forcibly spliced together, imitating the shape of the building. And where he was, it was nothing more than an empty city cut out of stone
In normal times, Qiuchen would definitely be willing to stop and study what the situation was here, but right now, he didn't have the energy to study architecture
Suddenly, a buzzing sound like a steel plate vibrating sounded in Qiu Chen's ears, and he paused, and when he turned around, he found that there was nothing behind him
Qiu Chen's eyes narrowed, cautiously looking around, since he entered here, those strange black shadows had been around him, but when he didn't rush to the place where the shadows had just appeared, they would appear in another place
It's a joke, but Qiu Chen wouldn't be naïve enough to think that in such a weird place, there would be an unknown object with good intentions towards him
The sound of the steel plate vibrating kept sounding from all directions, but Qiu Chen's eyes didn't see a single moving living creature around
Is this a sneak attack? Or has something changed somewhere? If an enemy stands in front of him and attacks him, even an enemy stronger than him Qiu Chen has a way to deal with it, but for this kind of guy who hides in the shadows forever and doesn't know when he will attack you like a snake, Qiu Chen has the most headache
shadow
Suddenly, Qiu Chen seemed to hear something, very faint, so weak that Qiu Chen wondered if he had auditory hallucinations after being attacked by the enemy with a shadow before, but the shadow?
Qiuchen looked up, there was no sun or moon in the sky, and the whole sky was a green whirlpool, like a sea of stars scattered between the whirlpools. The whirlpool in the sky is constantly spinning, and staring at the whirlpool all the time will even give you the feeling of your soul being sucked in. These green rays are the only source of light, but they are too faint compared to the sun on Earth
But this level of light can already cast a shadow on the ground
Qiu Chen slowly lowered his head, the sword in his hand was ready to meet an attack from anywhere at any time, maybe the voice just now was deliberately misled by the enemy
The shadows of the surrounding buildings were staggered on top of each other, and they didn't seem to be any different, Qiu Chen stared around for a while, and didn't find that the shadow would suddenly rush out and attack him like when he was on the crater just now, all signs indicated that what he had just heard should be just an auditory hallucination
Sure enough, I heard it wrong, Qiuchen let out a long sigh, and now I should think about how I should return to the moon here immediately
But the next moment, Qiu Chen suddenly noticed something very abnormal, his body moved when he sighed just now, but his shadow did not change at all
Illusion? Qiu Chen waved his arm, but the shadow on the ground did not move at all, and a drop of cold sweat was left on the corner of Qiu Chen's forehead, this was the first time he had seen this situation
Before Qiuchen could react, he saw that the shadow on the ground suddenly opened a pair of red eyes in the two places where it should be eyes
The sense of crisis in Qiu Chen's heart made him turn to the side suddenly, and then he only heard a click, and the wall behind him was cut out of a neat crack nearly a meter long, and what the shadow under his feet was holding in his hand was the reflection of the weapon Qiu Chen was holding now--- the Ash Messenger
again?! What the hell is this?!
If I hadn't looked down at the ground just now, I wouldn't have noticed that my shadow would attack me, and I would have almost been killed
The elongated shadow was three meters away from Qiu Chen, like origami, folded a ninety degree angle from the middle, and the upper body was directly erected like a curtain, and the red beast pupils stared straight at Qiu Chen, and then, raised his sword
------Bang bang
The sound of continuous blows echoed in the empty and strange city, and the power and speed of the shadow attack were not weaker than Qiu Chen's own strength at all, and the shadow's non-stop attacks made Qiu Chen only tired of parrying
Now Qiu Chen can still deal with it, but after a long time, even if he is completely undead, his bones will not be able to withstand such a dense force, and the other party obviously does not seem to have the limit of physical strength, if it is consumed at this pace, Qiu Chen is not sure to defeat the other party
It's not going to go on like this... Qiu Chen looked at the shadow on the opposite side through the shadow of the sword, the shadow's two eyes did not change at all, it seemed that whether it was fighting the enemy or not would not cause its emotions to fluctuate at all, Qiu Chen could not even tell where its next attack target was by the direction of its eyes, because those vertical eyes were always staring at his eyes, no matter where he was looking
Or maybe this shadow is just a trick summoned by the enemy, and the real enemy doesn't know where he's hiding, but no matter what, Qiu Chen can't always be entangled with his own shadow here, especially since he still doesn't know who his enemy is, it's just a joke
At the moment when the shadow swung his sword and slashed, Qiu Chen's hind feet retreated, and the sword body turned violently, pressing the opponent's weapon directly to the ground, and at the same time, five sharp bone spurs appeared out of thin air, levitating around him
Let's end it!
Qiu Chen pressed the opponent's sword with all his strength, and the sharp tip of the bone spur stabbed at the shadow's head
A second later, the bone spur silently pierced into the shadow's body and passed through. In an instant, both Autumn Dust and Shadow stopped attacking
Three seconds later, blood flowed out of the cracks in Autumn Dust's armor
Qiu Chen took two steps back and leaned against the wall, he could clearly feel that his body was pierced by his own bone spurs, thanks to the fact that he didn't stab his head just now, if he hurt the soul fire, I'm afraid he would have to lie in Valhalla now and wait to be reborn
Damn it! Is this a rebound? Or what? Qiu Chen stared at the shadow in front of him, the same silhouette as himself, Qiu Chen couldn't think of a way to stay away from his shadow, if he couldn't get rid of it, how could he find the manipulator hiding behind the scenes. Even if Qiuchen walked into the shadows of the building, his shadow could chase in
When Qiu Chen retreated, the shadow under his feet also followed him, and when he just stood up against the wall, the other party did not give him a chance to breathe, and the black long sword slashed down, and Qiu Chen could only parry with one hand
Syllable---
Qiu Chen looked at the shadow in some surprise, the power from the sword was much weaker than he expected, and the shadow had also become a one-handed sword, not the previous hands, and the opponent's attack speed was not as good as before
The other party was also weakened...... Could it be that attacking it will hurt itself, but its own injury will also be reflected back to the shadow?
So, if you want to kill each other, you will ......
Kill yourself?
…… That's not a good idea!
