Chapter 23: The Knife of the Gods

Air Blade Slash, an exclusive combat skill for warriors who rank 3rd to rank as professional samurai. It's hugely powerful, and it's one of the few combat skills that can attack from a distance.

Zhao Hongying had already condensed a third-level mana crystal, which met the rigid requirements for advancing to a third-order profession, but she was unable to break through at the spiritual level for a long time and has not been able to advance.

She had already learned and practiced this qi slash, and she just instinctively used it. Unexpectedly, at that moment, she was in a trance, forgetting all her distracting thoughts, and slashing out this knife with all her heart finally made her spirit break out of the shackles.

In other words, it was at that moment that she successfully advanced to the rank of third-order samurai.

Han Qingfeng really wanted to scold his mother. If it weren't for such a coincidence, he was promoted at this time, if he hadn't been vigilant all the time, this 'air blade slash' would have killed him.

It's also a second-order class, and if you fight head-on, the assassin is definitely not an opponent of the samurai!

Fortunately, now Zhao Hongying is already at the end of her strong crossbow, and this blow 'Qi Blade Slash' has almost consumed all her strength, and she stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground.

"It's amazing! It's a pity that it's just a little bit!" Han Qingfeng stood up and shook his head at Zhao Hongying with a smile of pity. After this blow, he didn't think that Zhao Hongying would have any means to fight back. On the one hand, it is the current physical state of Zhao Hongying, and on the other hand, it is based on his understanding of the samurai profession.

The Air Slash is a samurai's exclusive skill, which is extremely powerful, but the corresponding mana cost is also very high. Counting the mana crystals consumed in the previous battle, it means that there are still a few hundred mana points left on Zhao Hongying's body at most. What kind of threatening skills can be unleashed with just such a little mana?

Zhao Hongying is indeed at the end of her crossbow now, a large amount of blood loss and the promotion explosion just now have consumed all her energy and physical strength, if it weren't for the knife to support her body, she would have fallen by now.

Is it really going to be arrested? Zhao Hongying's consciousness was in a trance, and her eyes were blurry. Looking at Han Qingfeng, who was still keeping a sufficient distance from him, he couldn't rush out with a breath of anger in his heart. It's a pity that I have the heart to kill the thief, and I can't go back to heaven!

However, just when both of them thought that the situation would not be reversed, a milky white light suddenly fell on Zhao Hongying without warning. In the light, the wounds on Zhao Hongying's body were slowly healing, and although the bleeding had not completely stopped, it had slowed down a lot. What's more important is that Zhao Hongying's strength began to recover a little in the light.

Healing, this is the priest's healing!

Han Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, but soon his eyes locked on the back of the floor not far away, and he angrily scolded loudly: "What kind of person, get out of here!"

It's no wonder that Han Qingfeng is so furious, the appearance of a priest in this situation is simply fatal. Once there is a pastor behind to provide Zhao Hongying with a steady stream of treatment, it will not take long for her to recover. Don't look at the support professions that are usually not very popular, but once the support professions are combined with other combat professions, it is definitely not a one-plus-one problem.

How could this beaked duck let her fly again? Han Qingfeng's eyes erupted with fire and rushed towards this side. Pure support classes have no combat power, but even elementary school students know that the first kill sequence in a battle is always a support class.

Shen Mu knew that he would definitely not be able to hide after making a move. Before Han Qingfeng could speak, he had already jumped out by himself. His face was covered with a rag that he didn't know where it came from, and without saying a word, he raised his hand directly and hit Zhao Hongying's 'secondary healing technique'.

This is one of the benefits of having a skill tree, where a normal priest will have a short interval after using the healing. Shen Mu used the 'Basic Healing Technique' first and then the 'Secondary Healing Technique', and there was no casting interval between these two spell skills. This means that he can double his recovery in a short period of time and double his healing effect.

The two healing techniques were like a long drought for Zhao Hongying, and her weakened body was instantly healed, and her complexion recovered a lot. And then another pale yellow rune fell on her head, and every cell in her body seemed to be reactivated and full of vitality, and the mana crystals that were about to dry up began to slowly recover. She had recovered from her injuries in such a short period of time.

"Get out of the way!" Han Qingfeng didn't know who it was, but Zhao Hongying recognized Shen Mu with his face covered at a glance. She didn't have time to think about why Shen Mu was here, she could only remind Shen Mu to leave as quickly as possible, a priest was extremely dangerous when facing assassins.

Shen Mu had been hiding in the dark for a long time, and of course he wouldn't impulsively run out to die when his head was hot.

In fact, he didn't plan to make a move at the beginning, because he judged that Zhao Hongying was not the assassin's opponent at all, even if he added him. If it weren't for the fact that they were trying to ask for the 'Seven Peerless Sword Spectrum', Zhao Hongying would have died eight times ago. He won't do anything to die in vain.

It wasn't until he saw Zhao Hongying promoted to 'Samurai' that he decided to help. The samurai absolutely completely suppressed the assassins in frontal combat, and with his assistance, as long as they held on for a period of time to restore Zhao Hongying, their chances of victory could reach at least seventy percent.

As for how to guard against Han Qingfeng's attack, he was also prepared. The Assassin is not very capable of frontal attacks, and the strength of this class lies in sneak attacks and assassinations. Sure enough, as soon as Han Qingfeng launched an attack, he entered a stealth state, and completely disappeared in this night, which could never be detected by the naked eye alone.

Shen Mu just smiled at this, and threw out a burden very calmly. This burden was improvised by him with his coat, and the inside was full of sand and dirt all at once.

Stealth is not stealth, and it is not traversing space. Therefore, when the sky was full of sand and soil covered the space around Shen Mu, Han Qingfeng's figure was exposed at once, and the sand and soil flew and narrowed his eyes, and his vision was greatly affected in an instant.

Because of the limitation of talent, Han Qingfeng has not been able to advance to the fourth-order profession over the years. But he has a lot of combat experience, even if his vision is temporarily affected, he still judged Shen Mu's position based on his hearing and the last visual residue, and he held his two knives back, and launched the assassin combat technique 'Shadow Attack Kill' to kill him directly.

Assassins are simply natural enemies for spell and support classes, and once they are close to each other, they are almost always killed instantly. As a result, all sorcery and support class students have a dedicated course to teach them how to defend against melee attacks from melee classes.

Shen Mu is very serious about learning life-saving things. At that moment, he immediately dodged in a zigzag line according to the teacher's teaching, and ran in the opposite direction in the direction where Zhao Hongying was. At the same time, as soon as he raised his hand again, he hit Han Qingfeng with a 'divine punishment'.

Now that there are fewer and fewer priests who choose to learn offensive magic, Han Qingfeng didn't expect Shen Mu to actually learn it, and as a result, he was hit in the chest by this blow, and he couldn't help but stumble, and a burning sensation came from his chest.

The priest's attack magic damage was really limited, and even if this blow hit, it didn't cause much damage to Han Qingfeng, but it made him even more angry, and he was bent on killing Shen Mu.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a soft 'ding' sound in his ears. This kind of voice is very familiar to Han Qingfeng, this is the sound that only comes when the knife is put away. Who collected the knife? Zhao Hongying? Why did she collect the knife?

Before he had time to think about it, a low and light voice lingered in his ears:

"The blood of gods and demons, the seven absolute swords, the blood of gods and demons stained the seven absolute swords! People in the world only know that the Seven Absolute Swords can slaughter gods and demons, but they don't know that it is not a sword technique from the human world at all. Didn't you always want the 'Seven Peerless Swords'? Now you've seen it!"

Zhao Hongying stood behind him with her back and her voice was very soft, and in the end, there was a kind of lightness as if it was already ethereal. After saying these two words, her body shook uncontrollably, and then the whole person fell to the ground as if all her strength had been drained at once.

I don't know why, when he saw Zhao Hongying fall to the ground, Han Qingfeng suddenly felt that the whole world had changed, and it had never been so clear. The rich night is so poetic, the faint starlight is so bright, and the faint evening breeze is so fragrant......

What's going on? Delusion? What just happened?

Han Qingfeng suddenly came to his senses, and felt that the state just now was very wrong, and it should be a means made by Zhao Hongying. But it doesn't matter anymore. Zhao Hongying has no ability to resist at all, and in the end, he won, as long as he can force the 'Seven Peerless Sword Spectrum', he can completely change his fate.

But now there is a small obstacle, a little priest who does not know whether he is alive or dead, and it only takes a few minutes to teach him how to be a man. Of course, it's the next life.

"Where do I see you running this time?" Han Qingfeng walked towards Shen Mu with a knife with a cruel smile. But after only two steps, he heard a loud 'whirring' behind him, and when he turned his head, he was shocked to find that the three high-rise buildings behind him were neatly cut in two from the middle!

This is...... Traces of being slashed by the sword!

What a fast knife! Han Qingfeng suddenly felt a burst of cold fear. He recalled the light 'ding' when the knife was put away and returned to the sheath, and thought of Zhao Hongying's last words...... But he couldn't remember when Zhao Hongying's knife was cut out?

Then there is only one explanation. The speed of this knife was faster than his eyes!

Han Qingfeng was a little panicked, and he didn't care about going to Shen Mu, so he hurriedly lowered his head and touched his body with both hands. And it was only then that he found out strangely that he had seen his ass!
