Chapter 40 Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity First
"Thank you for telling me this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThen it's time for this battle to end. ”
After saying this incomprehensible sentence to Christopher, Barrett smiled and crushed the crystal in his hand, and then the dazzling brilliance exploded in the sky above, lighting up almost the entire sky.
"It seems that you have chosen to die, so go and die!" Seeing the smile on Barrett's face, although he didn't know what the previous action meant, Christopher immediately realized that things were a little out of his control. His previous words didn't really hit Barrett's confidence, but it seemed to make him sure of something.
However, at this time, Christopher did not ask again, but sent a message with the magic communication crystal, and directly slashed at Barrett, wanting to deal with this old thief who was about to run out of water as soon as possible.
Because for Christopher, the only thing that is certain now is that Barrett is no longer able to accept salvation. For Christopher, then, killing Barrett has become a priority right now. And as long as Barrett is killed, the main mission this time will be completed. No matter how much you lose in other aspects, you can accept it.
In the face of Christopher's all-out attack, Barrett soon couldn't hold it up and fell into a crisis. Although Barrett barely survived the previous battle, it also paid a considerable price. Not only were the magic items on his body exhausted, but he also suffered a lot of injuries on his body, and most of his physical strength and spirit were consumed. And in this kind of high-intensity battle, it is necessary to gather spirit, so Barrett soon felt overwhelmed.
Just when Barrett was on the verge of being overwhelmed, a green light flew out of the woods behind Christopher, and lightning shot into Christopher's heart.
This arrow came suddenly and silently, it was a 'silent arrow' dedicated to assassination by the rangers, and Christopher, who was rushing to kill Barrett, had been directly hit in the back of the heart without even noticing.
However, Christopher is the leader of the Bright Judge in Blackstone after all, and his background is extraordinary. No sooner had the silent arrow pierced through the outer robe, and before it could penetrate the leather armor that lined it, a layer of golden light lit up on Christopher's body, blocking the arrow that could have been fatal.
Although he escaped, Christopher's face turned blue as he looked at the shattered Divine Shield Ring on his hand.
This ring will automatically shatter when the owner's life is threatened, forming a divine shield to block the fatal blow for the master, which is a life-saving item that Christopher spent a lot of merit to exchange for from the Holy See, which can be said to be Christopher's half life. Such a treasure was quietly consumed in such an operation.
"Silent Arrow!, the lone mercenary old Yorke in Cooktown, how dare he participate in such a battle?" After a brief moment of rage, Christopher immediately deduced the identity of the enemy. After all, in Blackstone County, there are not many rangers who have the ability to shoot this kind of 'silent arrow', and those who have something to do with the Cook family are only the old York who lives in Cook Castle in intelligence.
Although he knew that the old York's family had entered Cook Castle, Christopher thought that this was just a means for Cook Castle to win over Luo Sheng and ask him to help treat the disabled veterans. As for Old York, he has always been used to walking alone, and basically will not join Cook Castle. And even if he joins, he should only be a newcomer who is not very trusted, and it is impossible to participate in this kind of battle with a high density of machines, so when calculating the combat power of Cook Castle, this ranger master was not counted.
And identifying the enemy doesn't make Christopher feel good. If he faced Old York alone during the day, even if he was extremely far away, Christopher was not afraid of the opponent's attack, and he was sure to approach quickly and then kill the opponent.
But it was not daylight, and after a few rounds of fierce fighting, it was already dark. Christopher and Barrett were on the edge of the camp, surrounded by firelight, and they could see each other without interfering with the battle. But old York was hiding in the woods without fire, and no one could determine his exact whereabouts. In this way, it is equivalent to Christopher being attacked by Old York at any time, but he can't confirm Old York's location, let alone fight back, and is completely in a passive position.
And Christopher is not just facing an opponent of Old York, although Barrett in front of him has shown fatigue, he is also an opponent that cannot be ignored. If you don't pay attention, Barrett's razor-sharp black dagger will tell you what a thief's technique is. Facing such two enemies at the same time at night, even if Christopher is one rank higher than the two, he does not dare to say that he will be able to win.
"Is this your hole card? It's a bit unexpected, but I'm afraid it won't change your fate. Glancing at Barrett, who had taken the opportunity to regroup, Christopher glanced at the magic communication crystal that did not respond, and his face showed a hint of determination.
Under Barrett's gaze, Christopher took out a scroll and tore it open and slapped it on his body, then took out a bottle of potion and poured it into his mouth, and after completing these preparations in an instant, he raised his long sword against Barrett again.
"Stone skin potion, protective arrow scrolls, it looks like you really want my life!" Barrett smiled wryly at the sight of Christopher's gray skin and the breeze around him.
Whether it's stone skin or defensive arrows, it's an excellent defense against ranged attacks. During these two spells, Christopher was able to ignore Old York's general attacks as long as he mustered up his fighting spirit. Even if Old York unleashed a powerful skill, it would be difficult to inflict too much trauma on Christopher.
And Christopher paid such a big price, undoubtedly because the magic communication crystal did not respond, knowing that the subordinates responsible for intercepting and killing Old David's team had encountered an accident, so he wanted to temporarily eliminate Old York's interference and kill Barrett as soon as possible to end this mission. In the next period, Christopher will definitely explode with all his might, and the situation facing Barrett will be unprecedentedly dangerous.
"But it's not that easy to want me to die!" But at this moment of life and death, Barrett did not flinch, and his eyes were filled with war. After quickly pouring two bottles of potion into his mouth, Barrett stepped up to meet Christopher.
Although the elder David should have broken through the interception and was about to arrive at this time, it was never wise to avoid the battle at this time. In the case of not being able to conceal his body, once the two sides distance themselves, Christopher can pose a huge threat to Barrett whether he uses sword energy or charging skills, and he will be defeated even faster. Instead, it is better to stimulate the potential, continue to rely on the agility advantage of the thief, and entangle Christopher in close quarters.
With the belief of fighting for his life, the pitch-black dagger wrapped in the shadow fighting spirit collided with the long sword in Christopher's hand again, and burst out with sparks. However, unlike the previous momentary repulsion, this time the pitch-black dagger withstood the long sword, and even faintly counterattacked.
"Do you want to fight with bloodthirsty potions, see how long you can last!" Glancing at Barrett in slight surprise, Christopher pounced on Barrett again.
Barrett was able to instantly show the hard power of the Silver Rank, which was obviously the result of swallowing the potion before. After all, Barrett used to be a thief at the silver level, and even if his strength is declining now, he can still re-enter the silver level with the help of some bloodthirsty maniac potions that stimulate potential and forcibly increase his strength. Combined with the original experience, it is not much weaker in a short period of time than in its heyday.
But this kind of stimulating method of increasing strength comes at the cost of consuming the source of life. And the more intense the battle, the faster the body is consumed. Barrett himself is already old and decrepit, and the previous fierce battle also consumed a lot of physical energy, and he can't last too long.
And as the middle level of the Bright Judge, Christopher actually has more hole cards than Barrett. Before, he just wanted to submit Barrett, and didn't use real killer moves. Now that it's time to fight hard, Christopher naturally won't hide anymore. Relying on his hole cards, even in the face of the silver-level Barrett, Christopher is sure to kill directly.
After the two of them fought together, the battle instantly became extremely fierce. Christopher relied on his strong fighting spirit and sharp sword qi to attack step by step, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring, while Barrett was like a black ghost, tossing and turning, and the black dagger could not leave the enemy's vital point. In a matter of moments, both of them had a few more scars on their bodies.
However, compared to Barrett, who had already exhausted his hole cards, Christopher was in a much better situation at this time. The healing necklace around his neck automatically shimmered and healed the injuries on his body, while Barrett could only grit his teeth and continue to fight.
But even so, Barrett still has no intention of backing down. While dodging attacks with further improved agility, he danced the pitch-black dagger and constantly launched counterattacks, even at the expense of exchanging injuries for injuries, which was completely a life-threatening posture. And Daddy York, who was hiding in the dark, also kept attacking with arrows, although he couldn't do any big damage, but it also restrained some of Christopher's energy.
But just when Barrett thought that the situation could be maintained for a while, Christopher, who had just cut off a fatal shot by Daddy York, showed a painful look and then stretched out his left hand to him.
Before Barrett could react, a circle of light like a black tentacle locked his body, causing him to freeze in place. At the same time, the long sword in Christopher's right hand slashed over with a fighting spirit.
"Shadow Bondage!Obviously using Light Fighting Qi, how can you use Shadow Skills?!No!This is the power of blood!Christopher has Shadow Blood!" In a flash of light, Barrett realized what the problem was, but Christopher's longsword had already arrived in front of him.
"Little imp Rasen, it seems that I owe you my life too!" Facing the long sword that was about to kill him, Barrett's face flashed in his heart, and then a faint golden light flashed on his body. At the last moment, he broke free from the locks of the shadow shackles and avoided Christopher's fatal blow. Then, without hesitation, he stepped forward and stabbed the dagger into Christopher's chest.
"This can't be! It's a Freedom of Movement Potion! The second bottle of the Elixir you just drank is a Freedom of Movement Potion! How can you know my hole cards!"
