Chapter 12: The Ignorant God
It turned out to be ...... Local source?
Her purpose was not the weeds, but the fireflies in the grass.
The talisman and the introduction made the moon shine into a complete triple technique, even if the fox demon was not good at the dry technique, it still made the overlord fall into a temporary blindness.
Good calculation!
He followed the path he remembered, clasped his arms with all his might, but failed to catch anything.
Immediately after, there was the sound of whirring wind behind him.
This process happens in the blink of an eye, and the average person simply doesn't have time to react.
Ba Xingtian almost subconsciously turned around and swung his fists in the direction of the wind!
Another loud bang.
But this time, the other party did not fly out.
On the contrary, Ba Xingtian felt a huge force coming from the front of his arm, and even the immovable god made a clicking and shattering sound.
The white light disappeared, and as soon as his vision regained his vision, he saw a huge slap.
The woman was gone, replaced by a giant fox half a height taller than a man, its claws as sharp as knives that pierced shallowly into his stone-like skin. If I hadn't blocked this blow by reflexes, I am afraid that the result would have been completely reversed.
But even so, now in front of the fox demon, he has no advantage in strength - although she can no longer use illusions to hinder consciousness when she changes back into the form of a monster, her physical strength and speed have been comprehensively improved, and the amplitude is somewhat unexpected by the overlord.
Sensing that his magic was disintegrating, he stopped reining his strength, and slammed forward, pushing the pair of giant claws away with his shoulders, and then drew the heavy sword behind his back.
A bottom-up reverse slash forced the fox demon to retreat.
"Didn't you say that just two palms would be enough to deal with me?"
Li exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly in a changed voice, while secretly surprised in his heart.
This manpower is inevitably a little too big, so big that he doesn't look like a monk at all. The power of that palm just now, even a rock could shatter, but he was resisted by his physical body.
And what's going on with that sword, don't ordinary monks use peachwood weapons to deal with ghosts and ghosts? Why does this guy hold a gold and iron sword, and the length and width of the sword are comparable to ordinary people...... That's how he usually gets rid of it?
"I admit to underestimating you. Ba Xingtian said calmly, "If you want to control the strength and aim to capture it alive, it is really difficult for me to do it alone." ”
"Bluff!"
Li opened his front paws and swept across, but was blocked by the opponent in place.
"Come again!" said the Overlord Heaven.
She gritted her teeth and struck left and right several times in a row, but she couldn't break through the former's defenses—the heavy sword, which seemed to be extremely heavy, could fly up and down in his hand, as if it had no weight. And he admitted that after the loss in the first half, the momentum not only did not decrease, but rose higher and higher.
"It's my turn next, look ahead!"
With a reminder, the Overlord slashed his first sword.
Unpretentious, but unavoidable - this blow was not thrown at random, but stuck between the timing of her claws, and she didn't have time to leave the attack range of the heavy sword, so she could only choose a hard block!
The claws made contact with the blade, and then they were smashed one after another, and the pain that pierced her heart instantly pierced her mind.
If this sword had a blade, I was afraid that her entire forearm would be cut off.
And the tyrant did not stop at all, and the second sword followed!
This time it was in the leg, and although it barely slapped the blade away with its tail, it still left a deep scar on the fur.
When the opponent raised the heavy sword and was about to slash the third move, Li suddenly realized that he had been tricked.
His high momentum, and his attitude of letting himself strike first, were all part of the scheme. seems to be rough and arrogant, but in fact, it is one link after another - let her attack many times, in addition to looking for flaws, it also makes her think that the other party wants to fight hard to the end. As soon as she catches an opportunity that she can't change, she will immediately launch a counterattack.
This wide-ranging attack is unavoidable, but it leaves her a little leeway, only leaving her to choose between being injured and being killed. Once you choose to be injured, you will definitely fall into a desperate situation step by step, until you have no more power to resist.
The so-called "difficult to capture alive" is just a cover for the other party, and all he wants to do so far is still to capture her alive - it's just that the way of capturing alive has changed from two palms to a heavy sword.
After being slashed a few more times, she could really only lie on the ground and let someone knead it.
In a flash of thought, Li resolutely made a decision.
Facing the third sword, she didn't get out of the way, but pounced on the blade, and at the same time aimed her claws at the tyrant.
It was a lose-lose rebellion.
That's her answer!
Claws grazed the other's head, and the heavy sword slashed into her waist and abdomen at the same time. This time, the other party finally couldn't pull out the sword body quickly.
Li used his last strength to turn around and flick his tail, sweeping the tyrant to the ground, then took three steps and two steps, jumped up towards the outside of the town, jumped over the bottomless cliff, and stumbled into the dense forest.
"Has it been discovered...... Terrific. Ba Xingtian patted the bloody coarse hair on his body and slowly stood up on the ground.
At the same time, a straight crack appeared on his silver mask and rapidly expanded. Eventually, the mask cracked in half and fell to the ground with a thud.
He admitted that in the last encounter, he avoided one step first, and because of this, the third sword failed to kill the fox demon on the spot. As a town guard, he had no intention of exchanging his life with a monster at all, but the other party's judgment and decisiveness still made him can't help but admire.
Using the power of the immovable Myojin, he uses his heavy sword to launch a series of attacks, leaving the enemy exhausted between defenses until he dies from the accumulation of injuries, which is his most common technique.
There are many people who can detect the trap halfway, but only a few have the courage to face the desperate situation and launch a counterattack with a lonely bet. Even if they knew that this might be the only way to survive, few could be as good as the fox demon. The so-called fight with life, the key lies in the word "fight", if there is fear and panic between the moves, it is naturally impossible to force him to give in. A seemingly desperate attack, once you lose focus, is just sending you to death.
It's been a long time since he's met an opponent who enjoys him so much.
Although the combat experience is still very lacking, this spirit alone is enough to be commendable. In time, she may become an enemy who will be remembered by the Privy Council.
But...... There's no such thing as that anymore.
Although the third sword is biased, it is still a fatal injury, there is not even a human figure in this barren mountain and wild place, let alone a medical hall willing to treat the injuries of the monster, she can't last a few days by relying on her self-healing ability.
After the demon dies, it is no different from ordinary people, the corpse will gradually decay, and the qi will return to heaven and earth.
This green hill is her burial place.
Overlord picked up the heavy sword and mask fragments on the ground, turned and walked towards the drawbridge.
......
That's what it is...... The strength of the Privy Council?
Li felt a strong dizziness hit her, and she was unable to maintain her huge size, and she reverted to her human form.
The injuries on her hands and legs were barely enduring, but the laceration on her waist made her smell of death.
It was obvious that the one who could appear in Qingshan Town would not be the most powerful alchemist in the Privy Council, but even so, she still couldn't even see the slightest hope of victory.
Not to mention that there is more than one town guard in the Privy Council, and there are also green swords and feather coats whose official ranks are above the town guards.
It is no wonder that "Master" has repeatedly warned her not to be an enemy of the Privy Council, and must not attract their attention.
"I have no other expectations, I just want you to live well. Don't come to me, and don't avenge me, as if I had never seen you. 」
These were the last words left by "Master" before imprisoning her.
But how could she possibly forget everything that happened in the past?
Since she can remember, she has been in the figure of the woman in Tsing Yi for most of her life. She taught her to read, to write, to have manners, and to have the rules of the world. Even if the other party never admits that there is a master-apprentice relationship between the two, she has long regarded the other party as the only master.
Li Yuan thought that such days would continue until the Privy Council came to his door.
The woman in Tsing Yi has since disappeared, and she has become a person.
The "Master" taught her many things, but he did not teach her how to fight against the Privy Council.
She had to find her own way.
Can ...... now Everything seemed to be moving away from her.
Li was almost out of breath from the intense pain, and she staggered to sit down against a large tree, her hands clutching her abdomen soaked with warm blood.
She was not afraid of death.
But she can't just die until she achieves her goal—once she's gone, no one in the world will remember the woman's name, no one will remember that she once picked up a newborn fox demon in a bamboo forest.
When she died, Master died with her.
This realization allowed Li to regain control of his body, and his mind seemed to be much clearer.
No, you can't stay in the mountains. Even if the tyrant doesn't search for her, she will definitely die. With her weak body now, let alone Fang Shi, even those beasts that followed the taste of flesh and blood could kill her.
But where can she go now?
Healing requires clean water, food, a place to rest, and perhaps a bunch of herbs.
The nearest town was at least five hundred miles away, and she couldn't walk on her feet.
"If you hadn't taken that portion of beef...... Just throw it away......"
For some reason, Li suddenly remembered the eccentric young alchemist.
Forget it, she told herself, the expectation at this time was just a weak appendage. The other party's attitude is based on the difference in strength between the two sides, if he finds that he has lost all resistance ability, will he still sit down and talk like before?
The odds are slim to none.
Humans are inherently fickle species.
Perhaps the only thing she can do is to tell the story of "Master" to the other party, so that her name will not disappear from the world.
As for what will happen to her, that is something she can't afford to care about.
