Chapter XXIII: Judgment
On the snow-soaked path, red blood was seeping into the snowdrifts on both sides of the road, and the bodies of several guards who had been cut off in half were lying on the side of the road. They had just rushed up and were killed by the enemy with a single blow, if it weren't for Qiu Chen's rush up to block the attack when he saw that the situation was not good, it is estimated that this move would be able to solve all the guards in the convoy
"You guy looks very powerful, killing you will definitely get more experience" The big man in front of him brandished the huge long-handled double-edged axe in his hand, and looked at Qiuchen with excitement, as if he was a robber who had seen a treasure
Qiu Chen held his sword across his chest and looked at the other party cautiously. Sure enough, as he expected, these three people were not ordinary bandits, but a group of killers with a definite goal. If you just want to kidnap the ticket, wouldn't it be better to leave a little more alive, but the other party has no intention of showing mercy to his subordinates, and as soon as he makes a move, he will completely kill people
His eyes swept over the two people in front of him, and in addition to the person with the giant axe, there was also a tall middle-aged man, standing meticulously behind without any movement. In Qiu Chen's perception, there was also a small figure quietly slipping through his field of vision from the side, gradually approaching the carriage surrounded by no guards
With Nero here, Qiu Chen didn't worry about him succeeding in a sneak attack, he just needed to focus on the two people in front of him
"Why...... The bandits would be so powerful......" Sibia covered her abdomen in disbelief, her hands were empty, her beloved Pu knife had been broken in two, if it wasn't for Qiuchen to pull her back, I'm afraid her fate would be similar to those killed guards
In just one round of confrontation, nearly half of the defenders were killed or wounded, and two of the opposing sides did not make a move. He has lost his combat effectiveness, although the remaining guards are also elite soldiers in the emperor, but their strength is not as good as their own, if the other party launches another attack, it is impossible for the guards to block it, let alone defeat them
Thinking of this, Sibia couldn't help but feel a pang of despair
"Hey, hey! Is it just a group of cowards" Seeing that Qiuchen and the other guards did not continue to rush up, the big man with the giant axe shouted dissatisfiedly, "Then remember the name of the person who killed you before you die!" Leave your experience to me, Daedas, Emperor. Belwack! ”
Daidas pulled both hands, and the giant axe in his hand split in two from the middle, instantly turning from a giant weapon into two hand axes
"Daidas, there is no more to talk about the dying man" The tall man behind Daidas whispered "It is imperative to complete the mission given to us by the general as soon as possible, solve this place quickly, there are others waiting for us to deal with"
"No problem, Liva. Let me solve it here, you go and kill that old man," Dajdas looked contemptuously at the man in front of him. A group of ordinary guards without imperial tools are like fish to be slaughtered on the board in his eyes, and killing them is just a thought of his own, "This is my experience, you are not allowed to interfere"
The white-haired man named Liva snorted coldly and slowly took off the white gloves on his hands
Daidas grinned, and with a full swing of both hands, two hand axes slashed at the enemy in front of him from the left and right directions, like boomerangs
"Spia! Stand back! Qiuchen stepped forward. The opponent's weapon is the emperor's tool, it is absolutely impossible to just have the characteristic of sharpness, and the other party wants to solve everyone at once, Qiuchen doesn't want to worry about whether the people next to him will be injured when solving the enemy, it is better to simply let them all quit
Sibia also knew that she and the guards would not be of any help if they stayed now, and when she saw the other party's axe flying, Sibia immediately opened her hands and told the soldiers to retreat. She didn't know where Qiuchen got her confidence, but now if she wants to win, she can only choose to believe him
Seeing that the opponent's attack had already flown halfway, Qiu Chen held his sword with his backhand, not dodging or dodging. Rushing straight at Dajdas, the blade of the sword slashing across the ground and sparking sparks
"Are you an idiot" Daidas looked at Qiuchen with pitiful eyes that looked at the fool. As expected, the flying axe accurately hit Qiuchen's waist and neck
Spiya and her guards were either disappointed or couldn't bear to look away, not wanting to see the dismemberment of a person who had nothing to do with the matter. Spiya covered her mouth and closed her eyes, she couldn't think of any possibility of a turnaround
Daidas snorted disdainfully, and tried to retract the axe with both hands. In his eyes, it was just a guy who didn't think enough to keep the guards alive for a few more seconds, and the next blow would take them all out
Qiu Chen, who was hit by the hand axe, stopped slightly because of the inertia carried by the hand axe, but the scene of being split by the hand axe did not appear, and Qiu Chen did not even fall down because of the hit, but after a slight pause, he rushed towards Daidas at the same high speed
"What?!" Daidas looked at the autumn dust rushing in front of him in disbelief. Teigu. Belwack he has used it for many years, and he is very confident in its sharpness, not to mention cutting off the body, several layers of iron armor stacked together can be cut like butter without being stuck, not to mention being stuck in the body and not flying back, "Belwack!" ”
Daidas tried to withdraw the axe with both hands, but the axe stuck on Qiuchen's body as if it no longer obeyed his command. Between the lightning and flint, the fifteen-meter distance Qiu Chen rushed in front of Daidas in only three seconds, and Daidas did not have any weapon in his hand at this time
Seeing Qiuchen rushing to his side, Daidas subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab his weapon, but Qiuchen squatted down and dodged Daidas's waving arm. Then he leaped upwards with all the strength of his legs, and held the Ember Bringer in both hands and slashed an arc in midair
A flash of cold light!
A second later, Qiu Chen fell steadily behind Daidas, not caring about Daidas's situation, Qiu Chen raised his eyelids, and stared at Liva who was stunned by everything that happened in front of him
Then, a column of blood erupted from where Daidas's neck had been cut, spurting more than a meter high and staining the ground around him red. Daidas's eyes faded from brightness, and his body slammed to the ground
Daidas, slash
Suddenly, Spiya's guards let out a burst of cheers, and Spiya couldn't help but let out a long sigh
She originally thought that Qiu Chen was just a hot-blooded young man, but now it seemed that Qiu Chen's strength was so high that he completely disdained to defend against Daedas's attacks, and if she could have someone of such strength to help, it would not be difficult to defeat these three people
If his father hadn't chosen to stop when he saw them, they might have been killed by the three by now
Thinking of this, Sibia couldn't help but rejoice
Qiuchen stared at Liva, but found that the latter did not show the sadness or panic of his companion's killing, and his face was still expressionless, but his attention was focused on Qiuchen from Daedas
Suddenly, Liva smiled in victory, and opened his mouth slightly to spit out a few words
"Secret technique! Bloody knife kill! ”
