Chapter 184, The Silence of the Lambs
Xiao Yan was already one level behind Sophie, and he couldn't escape this bullet at all, but Sophie just thought that Xiao Yan could enter this trial, at least level 3, and in order to pursue the absolute killing effect, he approached to such a distance.
The hole cards of the two were opened one after another, and the result was that Xiao Yan blasted out a new venom again, and he was also hit in the head by the projectile that burst out of the arquebus, and his whole body flew backwards, flew several meters, and only then stopped when he hit the wall, hung his head, and did not know whether he was alive or dead for a while.
Sophie didn't expect that she would be able to hit Xiao Yan's vital point with this shot, and just wanted to step forward, she only felt that her body was numb and she couldn't move, but she was hit by Xiao Yan's poison and fell into a state of paralysis.
1 second passed in a flash, Sophie felt a slight improvement in her body, and was about to take a step, when suddenly her body was numb again.
The resistance of level 3 trialists to various abnormal states is not too high, and Sophie herself is a spiritual-first trialist, and the sensing effect of this state is increased in disguise, so although the damage of the paralyzing poison to Sophie has not increased, the paralyzing effect produced has increased.
The paralysis that would have gradually weakened took effect again and again, and after at least 5 seconds, Sophie felt that part of her body was controlled by herself, and in her heart, she was even more determined to kill Xiao Yan as soon as possible, delaying it, but she was afraid that the result would be worse.
Slowly moved a few meters, and the aura behind him had already caught up, seeing that Xiao Yan continued to sit in the corner of the wall and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Sophie smiled secretly in her heart, being hit in the head by the projectile of the arquebus is not an injury that can be easily resolved, even if she doesn't die, at least she will be dizzy for a while. And serious injuries are inevitable.
On the other hand. Sophie also improvised for Xiao Yan. She was surprised by the endless fighting methods, after all, she was not good at close combat, and in the face of such a diverse style of opponent, the slightest mistake would be a matter of life and death.
Thinking of this, although Sophie continued to move forward, wanting to kill Xiao Yan as soon as possible, her speed had slowed down. Instead of continuing to reload ammunition, he took out the short knife just now and cautiously advanced towards Xiao Yan.
She was waiting for her aura to completely catch up with her, and after entering a distance of 10 meters, she used the magic circle Liliang to kill Xiao Yan in one fell swoop to avoid putting herself in danger.
Seeing that he had taken two steps, and he was already one step away from Xiao Yan ten meters away, Xiao Yan, who had been sitting on the ground weakly, suddenly raised his head, and a blood mark on his forehead continued to flow out of the blood, filling his face. It looked like a hellish ghost, but Xiao Yan's eyes were full of essence. Where does it look like a serious injury?
Seeing this, Sophie was shocked, and before she could pause, Xiao Yan had already raised her hand and threw three bluestones at her.
Sophie subconsciously took a step back, and at this moment, the magic circle had appeared at her feet, and the light flashed, completely shattering the three bluestones.
However, at this time, Xiao Yan did not retreat but advanced, suddenly exerted his strength, rushed up, and at the moment of entering the control area of Sophie's 10-meter magic circle, the staff in his hand flashed again, and with a bang, Qigong and the Greek fire behind him came one after another.
The light of the magic circle flashed again, and he wanted to destroy these two skills, but Qigong and Greek fire were originally intangible things, and they could be eliminated there.
I only heard two bangs, the first sound was the sound of Sophie's head being caught off guard by the qigong bombardment, and the other sound was the sound of the light in the magic circle hitting Xiao Yan in the air and pulling Xiao Yan's body out violently.
Xiao Yan rolled wildly in the air, slammed into the wall, fell to the ground, coughed violently twice, spit out a mouthful of blood, and slowly stood up against the wall, on his chest, the necklace that Laikaon gave him was already dim, and it didn't take long for it to shatter suddenly, but it was the result of Xiao Yan using up all the effects of resisting the lethal attack twice in a short period of time.
However, compared to Xiao Yan, Sophie, who was hit on the head by the qigong detonation, took a few steps back and fell to the sky, and the black scarf used to cover her face was already shattered, which could have been regarded as a blur of flesh and blood on her face, and at the same time, a raging fire had been ignited on her body, which was the effect of Xiao Yao's Greek fire.
To Xiao Yan's surprise, the flames seemed to float above Sophie's body, to be exact, floating on the dress on Sophie's surface, looking extremely fierce, but causing almost no harm to Sophie.
After a few seconds, Sophie slowly sat up from the ground, although Xiao Yan's qigong was fierce, but it could not cause fatal damage to Sophie, her left eye had been destroyed by qigong, and now she opened her only right eye, staring at Xiao Yan, wanting to say something, but only made a "hiss" sound.
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the reason, although the Greek fire could not cause direct harm to Sophie, but the Greek fire consumed oxygen, and such a violent burning had created an oxygen-free environment around Sophie, in this case, Sophie couldn't breathe at all, and naturally couldn't speak.
However, the Greek fire only lasted about 10 seconds, and with the resistance of Sophie's strange dress, it was extinguished in advance.
Xiao Yan cautiously stared at the magic circle that was already a little dim under Sophie's feet, but had not disappeared yet, and did not dare to move forward rashly, on the other hand, after surviving the process of severe pain and lack of oxygen suffocation just now, Sophie did not dare to rashly launch a new attack on Xiao Yan, for fear of being counterattacked by Xiao Yan.
The two looked at each other like this for a while, and each other's injuries slowly worsened in silence.
Xiao Yan was directly hit in the forehead by the projectile of the arquebus just now, although this lethal attack was diverted by the necklace effect, but the huge impact was enough to cause a crack in the inside of his skull, and the magic circle attack after that also caused severe damage to Xiao Yan's internal organs, although death was avoided by luck, serious injuries could not be avoided.
As for Sophie, maintaining the magic circle also seemed to have become very difficult for her, and at the same time, maintaining the magic circle made it impossible for her to guarantee that her body would recover, and she was stared at by Xiao Yan like this, she didn't have the extra heart to fill the projectile.
The two men remained silent, knowing that the other might just need a new attack to defeat or even die instantly, but neither could guarantee that they would be the winner.
It seemed that Xiao Yan had taken some initiative, he could go and get those bluestones and launch a new attack on Sophie from a distance.
But first, the attack of the bluestone did not mean much to Sophie in the magic circle, and if he bent down to find those bluestones, he would also be quickly approached by Sophie from ten meters away and fall into the attack of the magic circle.
So at this time, neither of them can talk about taking the initiative, Xiao Yan's injuries are getting worse, and Sophie is gradually unable to maintain the magic circle, and the light of the magic circle is constantly dimming.
Needless to say, both of them knew that if Sophie's circle stopped functioning, Sophie would most likely be the losing side, but only if Xiao Yan's remaining life could keep him alive until that moment.
The two of them paused in the dark for a while, each of them had gradually heard the sound of each other's breathing starting to become heavier, and now the comparison was not about combat skills, but only about who could hold on a little longer, to ensure that their attention was a little more concentrated.
In the end, Xiao Yan, who felt that the headache was splitting and the sparks of pain kept exploding in his mind everywhere, he couldn't hold back, he took a step back cautiously, and seeing that Sophie didn't move, he took a step back again.
Sophie's face, which could already be called flesh and blood, suddenly flashed a sinister smile, and she began to reload the bullets, while following Xiao Yan unhurriedly, although the speed of filling the bullets was not fast, but it was basically incomprehensible to Xiao Yan.
He couldn't rush up, although the light of the magic circle was dim, but it was still dangerous, if he retreated, Sophie could still keep up, as Sophie slowly recovered from the severe dizziness from being hit in the head by Qigong just now, the situation on the battlefield began to change rapidly, and the situation faced by Xiao Yan began to deteriorate rapidly.
Xiao Yan glanced at Sophie, let out a long breath, suddenly lowered his body, and rushed out diagonally towards Sophie's left.
Sophie was stunned for a moment, only seeing half of Xiao Yan's body, and then it was a blur, and then she realized that Xiao Yan took advantage of the visual blind spot caused by her inability to see with one eye, and rushed to a place where she couldn't see.
She turned around suddenly, but she didn't see Xiao Yan's shadow, and vaguely heard Xiao Yan seem to run behind her, Sophie smiled coldly, and wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a sudden sound of breaking the air behind her, as if something was rushing towards her.
In the next second, she suddenly felt a heat on her back, and the flames that had been burning violently on the surface of her clothes just now appeared behind her back again.
Sophie sneered again and said, "Don't do useless work, my clothes can isolate flame skills below level 2." ”
This is her zuihou word, in this trial shijie, in her life zuihou word.
As soon as her words fell, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, the fierce flames had penetrated her back for some time, and the intense burns made her part of her skin quickly necrotic and numb, so that she didn't feel the pain at the first time, and when she realized the pain, it was too late, and the flames quickly spread from her back into her clothes, burning everywhere on the surface of her body.
The isolation of the clothes from the flames became a real lethal factor at this time, the temperature and the flames could not escape from the clothes, constantly rolling Sophie's body in the clothes, and not long after she let out a violent despair, her body slammed, and then slowly fell to the ground, never moving again.
Xiao Yan let out a long breath, sat on the ground, and watched the Greek fire slowly extinguish in Sophie's clothes, and the bright body in the clothes turned into a ball of charcoal, and he didn't know whether to be sad or happy for a while. (To be continued......)
