Chapter 28: The Grey World (8)

In the early morning, Li Mengxi slowly moved towards the north gate amid the flow of people out of the city to hunt. His arms drooped and did not follow his steps, and his eyelids were half-clasped together, showing fatigue.

It's really strange that he went to bed early last night and should have had enough rest. But for some reason, he just felt very tired and wanted to rest, but he couldn't stop.

It's called going crazy. It doesn't matter, as long as you can achieve your goal. But if that's the case, why do you have to come back here?

What did he think at that time? Li Mengxi can't remember this. He was too tired to think about it.

He didn't think about anything like this, with an empty head, and just walked forward. What I saw with my eyes was a gray street without any bright colors, and I didn't know if it was because of the morning fog or if it was my own heart.

Suddenly, a bright pale blue appeared in the center of the view.

Is that......

Standing directly below the gates was ......

"Hinata, Nain. Li Mengxi called involuntarily, and he looked at the girl from afar and stopped.

"Yo, long time no see. Hinata smiled and waved her hand at Li Mengxi, "Are you going to leave without telling me anything?"

"Where am I going...... It has nothing to do with you. ”

Sure enough, the answer was the same as that man's. ”

"That person?"

"Sinaps. I've heard all about you from him. ”

"That guy!" said Li Mengxi gritted his teeth fiercely, it seemed that he really hated Sinaps.

"That person's personality doesn't matter, but what he wants to do, I agree with. Didn't I tell you before, you'd better look around all the time?"

"I don't remember. Can you get out of the way?"

There are many paths forward, but what you are taking now is absolutely wrong!"

"So what! It's enough to get there!"

"Well, at least let me ...... with you"

"No way!"

"Do you think that just these two words will make me listen to you obediently!"

"Then what do you want?" Li Mengxi looked at Hinata with some anger. Because he didn't want to conflict with this girl, he didn't want to destroy his memories with her, so he felt angry.

At this moment, Naine Hinata drew her narrow-bladed sword and pointed it over.

"Li Mengxi, I'm going to duel with you! If I win, you'll have to team up with me again! If you win, ......

At this point, Naine Hinata hesitated for a moment. At the same time, she also recalled yesterday's conversation with Sinapus.

"Reasoning is useless to that guy, and the only way to stop him is by force. So, the way to do it is for you to duel him and defeat him! That's where the danger is, that guy might actually kill you with one shot. ”

"He won't, I believe him. The problem is, even if I duel with him, the odds of winning ......"

"100 percent win! Tactics don't matter at all, just hit twice. If he really values his relationship with you, all you have to say is a word before the fight. That's ......"

That's what Naon Hinata is going to say now.

"If you win, I'll disappear from your face and never be seen again!"

This sentence is like breaking up friendship in the painting, and Hinata Nayin herself said it, and she felt a sting in her heart.

However, Li Mengxi did not seem to be touched. He drew the twin swords at his waist, and then said coldly, "Then come on." ”

His attitude made Naine Hinata feel a little chilled. So, what is the sentence "our responsibility" when facing the Ice Dragon, and "our responsibility" when facing the Black Ice Knight?

However, when I thought that it was this person who deliberately ran back from thousands of miles away for his own grievances. Hinata Nain immediately dispelled her suspicions, she chose to believe in Li Mengxi and the bond between each other.

So, Nane Hinata put on a fighting stance. It was a two-legged lunge, with the upper body leaning forward slightly, placing the left hand forward and the right hand holding the sword at the side of the chest. On the other hand, Li Mengxi still maintained the natural drooping of his hands, as if he was using his actions to express "disdain".

This made Hinata a little unhappy, and she decided to surprise the other party with her actions.

As soon as she thought of this, her right leg suddenly exerted force, and the whole person immediately burst straight out, holding the sword and stabbing towards Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi didn't despise Naine Hinata, but he really didn't need to put on a posture in advance. For him, the moment he saw Nayin Hinata attack, he had time to react.

So, Li Mengxi also took a small lunge and overlapped the two swords at a point directly in front: the sword in his left hand was facing outward instead of the blade, and the sword in his right hand was against the blade in the back.

After doing this series of actions, Hinata Nain's sword was stabbed. The blade of the narrow-bladed sword slammed into the sword surface of the red sword, making a very ear-catching "ding" sound.

And as the voice sounded, the eyes of the people around were also attracted. In the eyes of these viewers, Hinata Nain should have made a very beautiful move to "charge", but at this time the strength has been exhausted.

However, if Li Mengxi thinks the same way, it can be regarded as falling into a trap.

Naine Hinata is really smart, her pose does look like a "charge", and this blow looks like it. But in reality, it's a simple running and a skill called "Four Paths". This is a martial art that attacks the same point continuously at high speed with four different sword paths.

If Li Mengxi aimed at the end of the "charge" and made a counterattack, even if he was not defeated immediately, he would definitely be caught off guard for a while.

However, this little cleverness of Nayin Hinata did not work from the beginning. Others may not be able to see the problem, but Li Mengxi can see through it at a glance.

"Charge" is a skill of the power system, and when you use it, you need to use your waist to exert force, and even people who don't understand this will form a habit with long-term system assistance.

However, in the posture of Naine Hinata, the waist did not deliberately twist and accumulate strength, but the right arm was extremely clamped. Therefore, Li Mengxi could see at a glance that she was going to use a move that only relied on the strength of her arms. And this move usually lacks attack power in a single shot, and it will be compensated for by the number of times, that is, the combo of agility.

Therefore, Li Mengxi was mentally prepared, and he did not immediately lift his defense after taking the first blow. This scene fell in Hinata's eyes, but it surprised herself.

She knew that she had made a mistake, but as the saying goes, "the arrow is on the string, and she has to send it", her combo has already been launched, and it is impossible to stop.

And when he saw that the sword path of the second blow no longer took a straight line, Li Mengxi concluded that this was a "four-path rush" of the combo. So, he decided to wait for his work and fight back at the moment when the combo ended.

In a flash of lightning, Hinata Nain's other three thrusts were all shot. Different sword paths may have a confusing effect on people who have not seen this move or have poor consciousness, but Li Mengxi already knows it, and he didn't even change the defensive position at all, so he defended it perfectly.

Immediately, Li Mengxi saw the end of the last stab, and the two swords opened outward together, smashing Hinata's sword to the side to open the middle of the road. He should have rushed in then, but his eyes had to be drawn to a fiery red light.

The light came from Nane Hinata's left hand. In front of her alone outstretched index finger, a line of fiery red characters was imprinted in the void. This is exactly the way Lotmalia discovered the way to cast spells - to write spells.

This surprised Li Mengxi. It's nothing about Naine Hinata learning to write spells, after all, the two have been separated for a year, and this level of growth is deserved. It's just that Naine Hinata should have completed this action at the same time as launching a combo with her right hand just now. It's not easy!

However, the surprise at this time was not enough to make Li Mengxi panic. Seeing that it was a fiery red character, he immediately judged that it was a fire-attribute attack magic, and judging from the length, it was probably a "fireball" or something. He immediately gave up his counterattack and pulled his sword to protect him again.

At this time, Hinata Nain also pushed out the spell in her left hand. However, instead of spewing fireballs from the fiery red characters as Li Mengxi expected, a large number of black smoke screens poured out in an instant.

It turned out to be a trick!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi immediately turned defense into offense, and stabbed out with a sword in his left hand. The weapon "Haotian" in his hand has the special effect of "Ten Thousand Laws Must Be Broken", and just a slight touch will make the entire smoke screen disappear out of thin air.

Nane Hinata's figure reappeared in view. In an instant, she had retreated into the distance, pointing at her sword in the distance. And in front of the blade of the sword shone a pale cyan incantation.

She actually used her sword to write a spell! And in such a short time, how fast!

Just when Li Mengxi was taken aback, the magic was activated. Four cyan halos randomly opened around his place, and four cyan chains burst out of them.

At this time, Li Mengxi still maintained the posture of stabbing forward, and could not return the sword immediately. So, he simply put his hands down and rotated in the air with his waist, and instantly changed his right hand to the left sword, and his left hand to the right sword. He reversed the forward inertia by exerting a new force from the side, and his twin swords and body danced wildly in the air, shattering the incoming chains one by one. He also adjusted his posture by swinging his arms, and was able to land smoothly.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but cheer.

And at the moment when Li Mengxi landed on the ground, Hinata Nain had already rushed in front of him, and stabbed out the narrow-bladed sword without giving him a chance to breathe.

At this time, Naon Hinata uses a combo technique called "Seven Consecutive Stars" to launch seven stabbing attacks at the enemy at super high speed. Probably because the blade that slashes through space with cold light looks like a shooting star, it is so named. At the same time, her left hand began to write incantations with purple light.

In terms of martial arts, Hinata Naine knows that she is definitely not Li Mengxi's opponent, so her main attack is magic in the end. The current "Seven Consecutive Stars" is completely aimed at Li Mengxi's face, and the fundamental purpose is to divert his attention.

And Li Mengxi's response is breathtaking.

Agility skills can correct the player's agility when they make a move, resulting in a dizzying acceleration of the action. As a result, it's almost impossible for most players, even the skill caster itself, to see every detail of the action.

But Li Mengxi did it easily! He was able to dodge the sword of the "Seven Consecutive Stars" one after another by turning his head, and this could only be because he really saw the sword path clearly.

Although, Hinata Nain also expected what method Li Mengxi would use to resolve the "Seven Consecutive Stars", but he didn't expect it to be this method, and he was almost so shocked that he forgot the action of writing a spell with his left hand.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Really! This guy's dynamic vision and reflex nerves are simply open! No, it should be a bug!

However, for Naine Hinata, as long as the "Seven Consecutive Stars" she used played a leading role, it was enough. She wanted to firmly fix Li Mengxi's gaze on the sword, and then use the thunder attribute attack magic "Cloud Thunder Sword" to attack from directly above by surprise.

However, the sudden explosion of "Bell!" disrupted Hinata's tactics and caused an uproar in the surroundings.

I saw that Li Mengxi's left hand horizontal sword was raised, and the right hand horizontal sword was cut down, and the two swords intersected one after the other, and they suddenly stuck Hinata Nain's narrow-edged sword. "Seven Stars" was bruised off when he struck the fifth sword.

"Isn't it!"

"It's a lock!"

"There really are people who can use it!"

......

There was an exclamation of surprise among the onlookers. What moved them all was Li Mengxi's posture at this time, the skill called "Device Lock".

"Lock" is the technique of blocking the opponent's movements, while "weapon lock" is the "lock" technique used through the weapon. The effect of this skill is a very rare "Forced Interrupt Combo", but it is at the same level of difficulty as the defensive skill "Deflect".

It was the first time that anyone had seen someone consciously use it. Hinata was no exception, her body stiffened from shock, and the spell that was still one stroke away from her left hand shattered.

Li Mengxi took advantage of the victory to pursue. He leaned to the left side and withdrew his left sword at the same time, and the right sword was pressed down first, and when he reached the position, he immediately slashed down Hinata Nain's right arm towards the white neck.

Of course, even if there was a system to protect Hinata Nain from any damage, Li Mengxi didn't plan to really cut this sword, he only needed to stop the blade in front of Hinata Nain's throat to declare his victory.

At the same time that Li Mengxi clearly realized the concept of "winning", what Hinata Nayin said before the duel began suddenly popped up in his mind.

"If you win, I'll disappear from your face and never be seen again!"

When this sentence rang in his ears again, his movements froze instantly. And the red blade was only halfway there.

None of the onlookers understood what this was about, and neither did Naine Hinata, but she reacted immediately, and with a flick of her wrist, she put a narrow-bladed sword on Li Mengxi's neck.

"Won't it?"

"What is this?"

"That girl won. ”

"But can this really be called a win?"

"If you win, you win, it's the guy who hesitates, and it's not good for you. ”

"I said, couples quarrel, why are you so serious!"

Listening, the people around him were talking about it, and Hinata Nain came back to his senses.

"I, I won. She said in a daze, hurriedly put down her sword, and took a few steps back at a loss. In fact, it seems that it should be said so, but will Li Mengxi admit this kind of victory for people?

Hinata Nain looked at Li Mengxi nervously, and Li Mengxi also looked at her in a daze. Suddenly, Li Mengxi showed a relieved smile at her.

"Hmm. You win. ”

After speaking, the young man closed his eyes and suddenly fell to the side, as if all the strength of his body had been drained at once.

"Li Mengxi! Li Mengxi! What's wrong with you! Wake up!"

In a trance, he seemed to hear Nane Hinata calling anxiously to himself. But he really didn't bother to respond, he was so tired, too tired, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
