Chapter 16: Sword Demon Gu Lie (I)
Aran didn't expect that the battle between the Frost Cloud Tiger and the Bone Dragon would spread to such a long distance. When the flying ice crystal fragments fell from the sky, the people on the ground just stood there with their necks tilted back.
Little did they realize that these brilliant ice crystals were about to bring about irreversible death.
It wasn't until these falling objects containing ice energy exploded in the crowd that everyone suddenly woke up.
Unfortunately, it was obviously too late to turn around and run away now, and those who were closer were immediately frozen into ice sculptures, and those who were farther away were also scratched by the scattered debris.
"Master Alan, run. A piece of ice exploded right next to Miraya, and the pure white shockwave caught up with Miraya almost instantly.
"Miraya!" Aran quickly turned back and held Miraya in his arms, who had no time to escape. The wind element attached to Aran had not completely dissipated, and even with two people, their speed was faster than that of ordinary people.
Aran carried Miraya and quickly escaped from the range of the Ice Storm.
The rest of the Snowy Warriors also fled to areas that the frost storm could not reach.
"It's horrible. "It was only after running about a mile away that the danger was lifted, but Aram still had palpitations.
At this time, the effect of the wind multiplication began to slowly disappear on him, and Aran felt that his body suddenly became extremely heavy, and his steps were much slower.
"Young Master Alan, can you let me down first. Although temporarily out of danger, Miraya's pounding heart did not seem to regain its calm. Her face, delicate as a doll, was as red as a ripe apple.
From childhood to adulthood, the two have been inseparable like sisters and brothers, but it is the first time that Miraya has been held in the arms of Aran in the way of a princess. This made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Oh!" Aran also felt extremely embarrassed when he came back to his senses, and hurriedly put Miraya down.
"Young Master Alan, the Void Bracelet that His Majesty gave you should still be on you!" Miraya deliberately diverted the topic to ease the embarrassing atmosphere between the two.
"I was running for my life just now, and I almost forgot about business. Aran felt his jacket pocket and was relieved to find that the Void Bracelet was still on his body.
"Then let's go find Lord Yahan, the attack power of the Frost Cloud Tiger is too terrifying. I finally understood why His Majesty Wren had told us to flee as far away as possible. ”
After seeing the immense power of the Ice Crystal Storm, Miraya's attitude towards the Frostcloud Tiger also changed a lot. It's no longer just blind worship, it's more fearful.
A few hundred meters in front of Aran, the eldest prince Ahan was leading the chaotic crowd back the way he came. He knew the power of the Iron Beast better than the rest. So when he saw the Frost Cloud Tiger flying towards his head, Ahan ordered the warriors around him to speed up their advance. It's a pity that the ice crystal storm came too suddenly, and his warning had just reached everyone's ears, and the deadly storm had already fallen all over the sky.
Fortunately, under Wren's persuasion, Frostcloud Tiger terminated the release of the skill, which avoided more casualties.
"Quick, keep up with the line. Don't stop, the king will meet us outside the Valley of the Helm. The eldest prince, Ahan, picked up a few wounded soldiers from the ground and continued to shout at the crowd.
With Ahan's command and guidance, the emotions of the soldiers in the Snow Country gradually calmed down. Everyone no longer paid attention to the two demonic beasts fighting in the sky, and just buried their heads in the direction of the exit of Wind Helmet Valley.
Seeing the orderly retreat of the army of the Manxue Country, Gu Lie, the leader of the barbarian tribe who had not made a move, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He personally led hundreds of elites to take the path and block the exit of Wind Helmet Valley first.
The High Priest's efforts must not be in vain, Gu Lie muttered silently in his heart as he drew his great sword behind his back.
It is a heavy sword made of fine iron. The blade is about 170 centimeters long and more than 5 centimeters thick. The tip of the sword is sharpened almost perpendicular to the blade, which makes the entire heavy sword look like a large square piece of iron stuck into the hilt.
This design is obviously to abandon the dexterous stabbing in swordsmanship and focus on the slashing effect. This is exactly in line with brute force warriors like Gu Lie who like to open and close.
Gu Lie, who stood with a horizontal sword, opened his eyes angrily. Faced with the army of the Snowy Country, which far outnumbered his own, the leader of the barbarian tribe put on a posture of being a man and a man.
"Fellows of the Snowy Country, this is where you are buried. As long as I, Gu Lie, are here, no one will be able to leave the Wind Helmet Valley alive. ”
The masculine shouts made the soldiers of the Snow Country stop their progress and stare at this brave warrior. For a barbarian with an average height of about 2 meters, the leader of the barbarian tribe who is only 1.9 meters tall is not particularly tall, but the domineering momentum exuded from him makes people dare not approach easily.
However, this momentum oppression did not last long.
After all, momentum alone cannot scare off thousands of soldiers. A dozen or so strong northern warriors, armed with swords, tentatively rushed to kill.
Gu Lie held the sword in one hand, and the thick heavy sword was waved by him like a piece of paper. I saw the spinning blade draw several half-moon-shaped trajectories in the air. A pale gray halo appeared around the blade.
If you step into the threshold of a high-level martial artist, you can recognize that the gray halo attached to the surface of the gray sword blade is the sword pressure generated by the anger that is released from the outside.
Ordinary barbarians can only concentrate their anger in their bodies, promote muscle contractions, and thus burst out with terrifying power far beyond ordinary people.
As the leader of the barbarians, Gu Lie was able to radiate his anger outside his body, turning it into an invisible blade to slash his opponents. Some of the higher-ranking leaders of the tribe have also mastered this technique, but their power is far less powerful than that of Gu Lie.
Under the pressure of the powerful sword wind, the air around him seemed to become distorted. The dozen or so northern warriors who tried to challenge Gu Lie let out heart-rending screams before they could touch the blade.
I saw that the muscles, bones, and internal organs of each soldier were severely bent and deformed. The fragile body seemed to be unable to withstand the squeeze brought by the sword wind at all, and in the next second, it instantly exploded into a cloud of mist-like blood flowers.
The Snowpiercer warriors were completely dumbfounded, they had never seen such a gorgeous yet brutal killing method. But what Gu Lie used was not magic, but the purest sword dance technique he had created, the Demon Dance Sword - Burst Pressure.
"Bastard, take your life!" Rushing forward again were three northern warriors armed with enchanted weapons. One man carries a thunder gun, one holds a fire sword, and one holds an ice blade. The three enchanted weapons attacked Gu Lie from different angles in unison.
Gu Lie lifted the heavy sword with a calm face, and with himself as the axis, he rotated in a circle on the spot. The gray-white sword qi drew a circle with a diameter of up to ten meters. The three warriors armed with enchanted weapons stood still as if they had been frozen. Blades burning with magic slid out of their hands, making a sound as blunt objects collided.
Half a second later, everyone saw the whole reason for the whole thing. It turned out that these three northern warriors had been cut into two pieces by the heavy sword from the waist down. It may be that the speed of the sword wind is too fast, and the upper part of the glued together does not fall off in time.
Gu Lie once again displayed his proudest swordsmanship, the Demon Dance Sword, the Round Dance Slash.
Two shots and two second kill records made Gu Lie a lingering nightmare in the eyes of the people of the Snow Country. Just as the angry soldiers of the Snowpiercer were about to rush forward, the voice of the eldest prince Ahan came from the back of the crowd.
"Don't even meddle, leave this guy to me to deal with. ”
Like a whirlwind, Ahan swept away the crowd and appeared in front of Gu Lie.
