Chapter Ninety-Six: Shadow Walking

The crow does hide in the shadows.

Shadow walking is the second skill he acquired from the devoured alien beast crow, in addition to the ability to make his body extremely light through the source to adapt to air flight, after he has transformed himself into a semi-source energy, he can blend into the shadow and move around the coverage of this shadow at will. When two shadows intersect, you can also move from one shadow to the other, thus achieving the purpose of free movement.

Compared with other methods of concealment, shadow walking has great advantages, first of all, he does not exist in this space in concealment, so no matter what method is used, people will not be able to find his traces. Secondly, where the shadow moves, it is equal to where he can move, which means that with the right method, he can move relatively freely in concealment, unlike most hidden, who can only be confined to one place, and in the movement, he is in absolute silence, silent, formless.

Nothing in the world is perfect, though, and any ability has its own flaws, and shadow walking is no exception.

In addition to the fact that shadow walking must be limited to the shadow range, and once the shadow disappears, it will be ejected from the shadow world, the biggest problem is that it cannot hide the source energy fluctuations. Because of the need to make oneself semi-source energy, it is necessary to keep the free source energy in the soul in a state of active all the time, and the resulting source energy fluctuations continue to diverge around, always marking their own position, and people who encounter sensitive source energy perception will be discovered.

If it is in a complex environment or fortunately, there are many people and there are many fluctuations, and it is difficult for opponents to distinguish the shadow walker from it, but once it is in an empty and uninhabited environment like now, the existence of the walker will become like a lighthouse in the night.

Of course, due to the shadow separation, the range of source energy fluctuations is not large, and it can only be clearly perceived when the distance is very close, and this distance is often enough for the shadow walker to launch a surprise attack.

Just like the crow is now, when the crow senses him, the shadow cast by the crow is already very close to the crow. He didn't know if the Hidden Thorn had already discovered his existence, after all, everyone had a different level of sensitivity to perceive the source energy, so they would notice him at different distances. However, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the time is ripe, it doesn't matter if the other party finds himself or not, the opportunity is now.

Under the sun, in the shadows, the source energy fluctuations suddenly fluctuated, and the crow quietly appeared behind the hidden thorn, and the black figure was like a ghost. The moment it appeared, the crow had already turned into a bolt of lightning, catching up with the fleeing thorn with a faster short-range burst speed, a steel nail was sandwiched between two fingers, and the source energy in the depths of the soul exploded wildly, almost all of it was poured into the steel nail, and it unabashedly made a cracking sound like breaking the air, and pierced the back of the thorn's heart.

This is the first time since joining the mercenary group that the crow has fought with someone close to his strength, and when he fought against the lion in Wanhe City before, because it was just a whim and in order to complete Mi Xin's commission, he did not necessarily have the intention of killing the opponent, so there was no need to fight seriously. But this time was different, this time, he really wanted to kill his opponent, so as soon as he showed up, he attacked with all his strength without leaving any room, and even completely abandoned his defense.

This is the real way of fighting the crow, before the battle may be full of opportunities, the battle may be agile and elegant, but these are all preparations to find opportunities, once he finds the opportunity, he will be like a poisonous snake that has shown its fangs, the attack is simple, direct, and fatal with one blow, and leaves no room for retreat.

At the same time as the crow stabbed out the steel nail, the hidden thorn in front of him suddenly turned around, and a sword light like a training light lit up in his hand, and the momentum of the long sword was like a rainbow, stabbing the crow's chest back.

This was the decision made by the Hidden Thorn, he didn't want to be entangled by crows so that he couldn't escape, and he couldn't tolerate someone to use the methods he was good at dealing with him, so he decided to kill his pursuers as quickly as possible and in the way that the assassins did best, that is, to kill them with one hit. So he obviously found out about the existence of the crow, but pretended not to know anything, and it was not until a few seconds later that the crow attacked, and he suddenly burst out at the last moment and attacked with all his might.

Two different sharp weapons tore through the air, emitting two sharp whistling sounds that staggered through the air. At this time, both the crow and the hidden thorn were surprised in their hearts, obviously no one thought that the other party was actually the same as themselves, and they used all their strength in the first confrontation, without temptation, and directly wanted to work with one blow.

Blood splatters.

The two of them parted with a touch of blood, and each staggered back with a splash of blood.

After the stab turned, both of their weapons were aimed at each other's chests, and at the same time, their own chests were also threatened by the other party. If this trend continues, the only end is to end up together. Of course, neither of them wants to die with their opponents, so they can only try to twist their bodies to avoid the vital points on their chests, and at the same time adjust their weapons so that they can hit the opponent's vital points as much as possible.

As a result, the two were injured at the same time, and a deep wound was torn open in their chests, and they staggered to regain the distance.

A little blood was stained on the wound rolled on his chest and put it in his mouth, the crow seemed to feel no pain at all, a strange smile appeared on his face, and his eyes shot at the hidden thorn on the opposite side, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart when he smiled, but the deep chill hidden in the depths of his eyes indicated that he had made up his mind to kill the enemy, and in order to kill the opponent, he could do whatever it take.

Hidden Thorn was also looking at the crow, in his thoughts, it didn't make sense to exchange injuries for injuries just now. He dared to attack without leaving a backhand, because he was sure that the enemy would not fight with him in the case of numerical superiority, and in the face of his own desperate all-out attack, he could only panic and turn to defense, so that he could gain the initiative in the battle. He never thought that the other party was even crazier than him, and he could just drag him down, but he would rather be injured or even lose his life, and kill himself on the spot, this kind of behavior is simply unreasonable.

"Hehehehehe. As if to see the question in his heart, the crow let out a series of eerie chuckles, but did not explain anything.

Yes, there is only laughter, there is no conversation, and there is no need to talk, now the two face each other, not for chatting, both of them have only one purpose, and that is to kill the opponent, kill the opponent as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the two looked at each other again, and at the same time disappeared in place, and the sound of sharp weapons tearing through the air sounded again.
