Chapter Sixty-Eight: Using the Sword as Bone
The night breeze swept through the empty palace, and the curtains rolling around the eaves made a cold sound.
After Ya Lei stayed alone in this remote hall, the whole space seemed to have entered the cold winter first, and there was no trace of the heat that belonged to the deep summer, only the cold silence of the desert Gobi without people.
In the cold hall, the silk curtain rippled slightly.
The black-haired knight sat on a brown hardwood chair, facing the entrance to the hall, his eyes motionless at the waning moon in the night sky, and his cold and hard eyes were filled with the great depression of the torrent surging under the ice.
He felt like the moon in the sky now, although it still sowed the moon clearly, but he didn't know when it would be covered by clouds and mist, and he didn't know when he would wake up.
The Psychedelic Realm is unguardable, and Yalei has been looking for a way to wake up on his own.
In order to deal with the erosion of apotheosis consciousness, the first generation of knights thought of many methods, the most common and effective method was totemic suggestion.
The specific method is to find any kind of object as a totem, usually self-interrogate yourself to the totem for a long time, reflect on whether you are in an illusion, and train yourself through this neurotic self-suggestion.
Once you get close to the item you choose to become a totem in the illusion, you can subconsciously have the idea of "am I in the illusion", and there is a certain chance to break the illusion.
Although it is a method of curing the symptoms but not the root cause, the black-haired knight who has no retreat has no time to pick and choose, and he has to try all the skills that can sustain his life.
Right now, for example, he's trying to figure out how to adapt to the darkness. Think of darkness as a totem.
The "King of Fear" is extremely capable and can modify anything in the illusion at will, but the moment of deification and erosion. The brief darkness in consciousness cannot be erased.
If, in that moment of darkness, you can rely on your trained instinctive self-examination and realize that what is going to happen next is an illusion, then you may be able to buy a little time.
Suddenly, a trace of the rhythm of water resounded in the hall, and at the moment when the black-haired knight looked back and inspected, a cloud and mist silently obscured the bright moon. Darkness swallowed up the star-sparsely starlit night sky.
"Here we are...... It's coming......"
A low, faint roar came from the night wind, like a cold viper around his ears.
"It's you again, and the ghost is still lingering...... What tricks to play. Let's just do it in one go. Yalei was wary and responded with a sneer.
"The end of your destiny is coming, and if you resist me, tonight will be your death. The voice chuckled heavingly.
"I don't believe in fate. ”
The black-haired knight scoffed at this. But he subconsciously clenched his fists. The pinched joints gurgle.
"Raise your head and face them, your destined death is coming. A vague voice swirls in the darkness, with an indescribable coldness and depth.
"Huh?"
Yalei raised his head in surprise, and suddenly found that in the dim moonlight, at the end of the straight road of the hall, a pair of night walkers in black cloaks were faintly reflected, walking along the long and endless road, through the fog and cold.
What Assassin could sneak into the depths of the palace?
The black-haired knight tightened his eyebrows. At the same time, he stood up from the hardwood seat, and his muscles and bones instantly tensed to the limit. Head-on towards the so-called Grim Reaper.
It doesn't matter, as long as the Grim Reaper is beaten into a dead man, then the fate in that guy's mouth is a joke.
The three of them were getting closer and closer, and when they were less than twenty yards apart, they stopped at the same time.
The cloaked Assassin showed his true face in front of Yalei, judging by their appearance, they should be a brother and sister, the man had short blue hair, his lips were pursed, his neutral appearance looked very handsome, and he held a long sword in his hand.
The woman had heavy pupils in her eyes, and she had long snow-white hair that reached her ankles and fluttered slightly in the night breeze. She had a silver ring embedded in her plump lower lip, and she also held a slightly thinner sword in her hand, standing slightly back at her companion's side.
"Who are you?"
Yalei just asked casually, not expecting them to answer, and as he spoke, he clenched his right fist, and the moment of the steel quenching light plated his right arm.
At the moment when he gathered his strength, his arm suddenly trembled unconsciously, and a feeling of being swallowed by deep darkness spread rapidly, starting from the fingertips of his right hand and gradually spreading to his shoulder.
The black-haired knight let out a low cry uncontrollably, his body shook, and his eyes turned to his arms, only to see dark red scars that seemed to flow with hot magma, stretching out from his wrists and spreading to his entire arm and body!
The area where the light marks spread seemed to have been severed from the nerves, and he lost consciousness completely.
What's going on?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, bursts of wild laughter suddenly came out of the darkness, and the invisible coercion of the storm and storm descended:
"This time, it's up to you to choose, choose whether to prepare for death or become the strongest demon god. ”
"Shut up!"
Are's face burst out with terrifying green tendons, his short black hair slammed with the night wind, and he strode heavily, his entire body smashing the air currents into scattered and splashing in all directions, and grabbed the female assassin with heavy pupils with one hand.
Bell--!
The broad-bladed sword unleashed a silver crescent moon that slashed through space like lightning and slashed at the black-haired knight's fingers that had turned into a falcon, sending out a dazzling cloud of sparks.
"Three stacks of moon rings. ”
The female assassin's double pupils alternated, instantly turning snow-white, and the stabbing sword provoked a glimmer of dazzling silver light, and the next moment, it passed through the space with brilliance.
Suddenly, an unparalleled sense of crisis rushed towards the black-haired knight.
With Yalei as the center, a triple suspended silver aura rose from below within the surrounding digital range, completely enveloping him, and quickly closing in the moonlight.
Boom!
The steel quenching fist smashed into the light wheel, and the red and white shattered light burst with the collapse of the aura.
In an instant, the broad blade approached with its master, and the blade grazed the side of the black-haired knight's face. And the moment the two sides staggered, the four-foot-long sword suddenly spun rapidly, as if a sharp blade swept across.
Yalei dodged and ducked. His eyes were fixed on the female assassin's flying figure, and her left hand shot out in an instant, spinning and cutting around the slender neck of the opponent.
Whoosh - !,
Just a second before the Hayabusa sword swept into the female assassin, the five chain swords suddenly deflected, cutting off a piece of the opponent's snow-white hair.
At the same time, blood shot out from a wound on the side of the black-haired knight's face, and his elbow flew up. Dangerously slammed into the broadblade, bouncing it away.
“......”
Aree gritted his steel teeth, glancing at his left leg, where the light streaks were spreading unconsciously. The standing arm blasted away the blade like a spear, and the body leaned forward and slammed the male assassin out.
Ahh
At the moment when the black-haired knight's old power was exhausted and the new power was not born. Three rings struck at the same time.
Ding Ding Ding!
The chain sword quickly pointed to the ground. Tense violently, pushing the black-haired knight back into a standing position. He was about to use the Void Wave to fight back, but he found that the dark red light wheel in his palm was about to collapse after a little gathering.
This damn erosion scar...... Can it affect my fighting spirit!?
Unable to defend himself, Yalei could only raise his arms to block horizontally, drumming up his fighting spirit to resist the sword light.
Bang bang bang!
The triple light wheel instantly bit into his body, and suddenly exploded into a large area of light, which were countless fragments produced by the violent collision of crimson fighting qi and silver sword light.
The discolored shattered light is like raindrops and sparks.
Whew!
The bloodied black-haired knight burst out of the flames. Stepping on the ground with one leg, the five falcon swords suddenly flew up. A flash of cold light spread rapidly in the night sky, piercing the female assassin's chest.
Bell bell - !
A black afterimage appeared directly beside her, and the broadblade slashed at a speed beyond line of sight, slashing out a sword light afterimage in front of the female assassin.
Smack!
Without exception, the Hayabusa sword was blocked back, but the enraged Yalei rushed in front of the opponent, pinched the broad-bladed sword from the afterimage, and lifted the opponent in the air with one hand, smashing it into the hard stone floor.
Boom!
The stone slab on the straight road suddenly split apart, and the male assassin's entire body was penetrated into the sunken pit, and the next moment, the black-haired knight exerted force on one leg, and his body was like a locomotive that accelerated to the limit, directly crashing into the incoming silver light.
Whew!
Yalei's chest was pierced by a sword, and a bloody arrow rushed out from the piercing wound, but his left hand also successfully grabbed the opponent's arm that was protecting his chest, and his face showed a cruel smile, and he was about to break the weaker arm immediately.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, a broad-bladed sword emerged from the ground to break the delicate balance between the two, and it shot like a sharp arrow into the crotch of the black-haired knight.
Aree had to grab the arm and throw the silent female assassin into the distance, as the five fingers reached down, and the falcon swirled towards the broad-bladed sword, wrapping it tightly.
"Die!"
The black-haired knight sensed the assassin's position underground, and after locking the blade of his sword, his body suddenly appeared in a kneeling position, and slammed into the ground with one knee.
Boom!
A blow full of crimson fighting spirit slammed into the earth, like a meteorite falling from the sky, smashing a wave of fire on the ground, rolling layers and collapsing into a scorched black pit.
The blackened figure of the assassin was swept away by the waves of fire, tumbling and falling to the ground, gritting his teeth and drawing a short sword from behind his back, aiming it at a certain part of the flames.
Boom!
The red waves of fire instantly retreated to both sides, and a figure burning with flames rushed straight towards him.
It was a powerful blow, enough to blast a quasi-Scourge warrior to the ground, and even if it was blocked by the short sword in the assassin's hand, the force of the impact could blast it dozens of yards out and destroy his internal organs.
Aree grinned and threw his fist into the battered Assassin, but the moment he slammed his fist into the dagger, his left leg seemed to vanish out of thin air, losing all instinct.
In the gap in time that he didn't have time to catch it, the Assassin caught his physical condition, and the dagger spun into a sharp disc that flipped with the black-haired knight's roaring figure.
His body was soft and tough as if it had no bones, and he avoided the range of his fist's attack at an incredible angle, swimming against the current, the thin and piercing blade of the short sword at the head of his opponent.
A bright arc of light flashed between the two, slashing across the black-haired knight's throat, and the staggered figures of the two were frozen in a static picture.
“......”
The black-haired knight's eyes widened, and in an instant, they were covered with bloodshots, and a huge crimson storm centered on him completely roared out of the space.
Boom!
The figure of the assassin was knocked away by the waves of fire that rose into the sky, but due to the timely protection, he was not seriously injured and fell lightly to the ground.
Patiently waiting for the shockwave to dissipate slightly, he and the female Assassin who followed him broke into the center of the explosion, looking for his opponent.
Aree lay down in the charred grit, one hand to his throat, and stared angrily at the approaching assassin, half of his body covered in dark red streaks of light.
"You've had your throat cut off...... Only one of the limbs was left to wield the left arm...... "In the darkness, the voice of the Lord of Fear's taunts rang out in quick succession, one after another, as the Assassin moved quickly.
"What are you still thinking about, give up your weak will, choose to merge with me, and you will get the power to destroy the world. ”
"Death is coming, and if you hesitate, you will die. ”
"Look, they're here, and under my control, your immortal body can't be activated...... I'm going to die......"
Ignoring the blood gushing from his throat, the black-haired knight suddenly stretched out his arm, and the five falcon swords sank into the depths of the hall and pierced into a bundle pillar.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the falcon sword contracted rapidly, and with a dazzling trail of blood, it dragged Yalei's figure towards the interior of the hall.
The Assassin siblings looked at each other as they took a step to keep up with the inside of the hall.
......
Under a pillar inside the palace, there was the sound of water dripping, and the smell of blood was accumulating in the space.
I can't die!
How can I die here...... Died at the hands of two nameless assassins......
I have to live...... Gotta live!
Aree gripped his throat and cast his gaze on the Assassin's approaching figure, countless images flashing in his mind, his eyes suddenly swept to the saber at his waist, and his pupils narrowed to a sharp point.
Whew!
The black-haired knight's left hand suddenly burst into a red fire, burning it on the wound on his neck, and the smell of roasted flesh burst into the air.
Qiang!
Yalei jerked out the saber at his waist and stabbed it above the knee of his right leg, piercing the entire blade into the entire leg bone. Clamp the knee joint with the help of a saber and fix the bones in your right leg so that you can stand upright.
Ding Ding Ding!
Five falcon swords slammed to the ground, propping up the black-haired knight's body and standing firmly in place.
“......”
He looked up, revealing the charred scar on the lower part of his neck, staring at the assassin silently, his bloodied face expressionless, but it looked more terrifying than any expression.
The Assassin siblings had solemn and vigilant expressions on their faces, and the two of them stepped forward in unison, one left and one right, and approached their opponents from two directions.
