Chapter 403: A Strong Enemy Strikes
He knew that the Blackshirts and the Wolf's Den agents were everywhere, and if he wandered around the market alone for too long, he would be suspected anyway. So he didn't have a chance to get close to Luo Ming at all. Therefore, he was happy to hide alone in the mountains.
I don't know how long I waited. Finally, one day, he saw that the climate in the area of Goro Mountain had changed very abnormally, and immediately rushed to the top of the mountain, and sure enough, far away, he saw a girl sitting quietly in the deep valley, patiently waiting for her doom to come. And the little child stood on the top of the hill across the valley, watching everything in the valley. It was clear that he was protecting the Dharma for that girl.
He had planned to take a long detour and quietly approach the child. But it was clear that the kid had also spotted him and was turning around to face him. "Alright, let's go head-to-head. He no longer had any hesitation, pulled out his beloved long knife "Shattered God" in his right hand, and rushed along the summit that towered around the valley at high speed towards the little child standing proudly on the opposite side.
He also has a short knife around his waist, called "Demon Slayer". These two knives are made of Taihe Iron and are equivalent to the intermediate level of the Xuan Rank. Usually, when he fights against people, he never pulls it out easily. Before he handed it over today, he had already pulled it out, and it was conceivable that he attached great importance to this child.
His judgment was not wrong, the girl in the valley was Xiao Yu, and the one standing alone on the top of the mountain peak was Luo Ming, the Taiwei of Black Cloud City.
Taro Morino's speed was staggering, much faster than Razor Itagaki. And he has an indomitable momentum, whether it is a boulder or a towering ancient tree in his way, he will clench the long knife in his hand with both hands, roar, and slash over. With a loud bang, whether it was a big tree or a boulder, it would be split in half from the middle by the sword qi he emitted. Before the trunk of the huge tree or the fragments of the boulder that stood in the way had time to fall to the ground, he had already passed through the middle and disappeared away.
This strong strength also surprised Luo Ming, and his heart said Why did such a monster come, it's really too perverted, right? His heart couldn't help but shrink, knowing that he had encountered a very strong opponent, and even his palms couldn't help but sweat.
No, you can't just rush at him like that. Luo Ming said: I have to take the initiative. Otherwise, if he was allowed to rush up so boldly, he would be completely brought into the attack routine he had designed. Thinking of this, he suddenly bent down and reached out, grabbed a stone the size of a calf from his feet, and smashed it at his opponent with a snort. Immediately after, he released the black Yan on his body.
It is a hard piece of volcanic rock. With the immense power bestowed by Luo Ming, he rushed towards his opponent with a momentum that shattered everything. Looking at this extremely ferocious stone with a huge whirring wind, Taro Morino also felt a tightness in his heart and had to slow down.
He clenched the knife in his hand, shouted, and slashed out a skill "Shadowless Slash". A powerful wave of qi emanated from his knife and headed towards the boulder, and with a loud bang, the two powerful energies collided together, causing a shockwave that tossed the rocks the size of a sea bowl on the top of the mountain far below the cliff.
The massive volcanic rock head was shattered, and the resulting stone chips and dust even obscured the view between the two. Unhappy that the rhythm of his attack had been disrupted, Taro Morino did not wait for the dust to fall and leapfrogged over the large cloud of smoke that obscured his vision, and swung out his second attack skill, the Ice Slash.
Luo Ming didn't expect that stone to cause much trouble to his opponent. He's just hoping to slow down his opponent's attack momentum for a while. His purpose was achieved. Then he grabbed a larger rock and threw it at his opponent. Immediately following this boulder, he also pounced on Taro Morino in fit.
He sent it faster than the other party, because he was smashing directly into the cloud of rubble and dust. The advantage of a large stone is that it is not necessary to aim accurately, as long as the general direction is good. And Taro Morino sent out a sword qi skill, and he had to jump through the dust mist and see the opponent clearly before he could attack accurately. It slows down.
The wave of qi emitted by the "Xuan Ice Slash" was white with dark blue, and the cold force caused a large frost mist to appear in the surrounding air, which was a sword qi that was more powerful than the skill energy just now. Taro Morino hopes that this move will at least freeze the opponent. That would make his next attack easier. But alas, the powerful blade still slammed into the unknown stone, and the huge stone shattered again.
The purpose of Operation Luo Ming is to launch faster and more fierce attacks one after another once he has the upper hand, until he is unable to fight back. This is where this martial art is most practical. So Luo Ming didn't have the slightest showmanship, he not only followed the boulder closely, but also casually pulled out the pocket short crossbow "Breath of Death" in the pendant space, and shot a series of crossbow arrows in the direction of the opponent.
The sound of these tiny crossbow bolts bursting through the air with tremendous energy was indeed small, and it could only be drowned out in the second thud of the boulder being shattered.
Luo Ming's series of attacks can be said to be as fast as lightning, and he firmly occupied the initiative on the battlefield in less than a few seconds, pressing the opponent in a form that could only make a late move. As long as he continues to fight like this, he will completely enter Luo Ming's attack routine, and he will be pressed and beaten until he is completely finished.
But it would be naïve to expect that a strong opponent like Taro Morino would be able to completely press a strong opponent like Taro Morino into his attack trajectory and obediently cooperate with him to complete the entire set of attacks. If it were really that simple, Taro Morino would not be able to become the second best of the ronin samurai.
The rubble flew by, the smoke cleared, but the opponent was gone. Luo Ming's dozen crossbow bolts were all missed. Only then did he realize that his opponent was not simple.
Taro Morino was also distressed: the second boulder was almost in front of him, and his skills had just been released. Experienced as he was, he immediately understood that his opponent could kill a samurai as powerful as Razor Itagaki was indeed justified by him. If you follow his path, you will be doomed soon. In this case, it is no longer possible to compete with the opponent for speed, and only a temporary concession can regain the opportunity and initiative.
