Chapter 160: Luck
If one had to choose between drilling and breaking, no matter which part of the body was hurting, no one would choose the latter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info choose the lesser of two evils, which is the eternal truth. Even if they can't escape death, they can leave a relatively "intact" body and not die without a complete body.
However, for shadow puppet mages, this is not a multiple-choice question with only one answer. Their body structure is different, which makes them measure the size of their injuries differently.
At this moment, the shadow puppet mage tore open his own head with a thought. A strange beam of light passed through the middle of his split head, piercing through the delicate shadows and sinking into the darkness. He was unscathed.
The shadow puppet mage raised his leg and kicked Teng Yunshen's hand away from the knife, and the latter lost his balance. The next second, it was a fatal blow.
People think that shadow puppet mages lack the obvious aggression that is wrong. At the very least, in the world of shadows, their limbs are the most dexterous weapons.
The shadow puppet mage reached out and clasped Teng Yunshen's head. The young head was as thin as a paper lantern under his fingers. He could feel Teng Yunshen's vulnerability, it was neither an ambiguous concept nor a proper description, it was real. Fragility will be shattered in one of his simplest actions.
Teng Yunshen couldn't even stand still. None of his movements could be faster than the shadow puppeteer's. The battle is over.
Click. The skull under the five fingers shattered, and the shadow puppet mage clenched his fist in surprise, but only grabbed the hot corner of the shadow. It happened half a second early, and he wasn't even mentally prepared, let alone done it himself. This means that he is one step slower.
Teng Yunshen's thoughts were faster than any of the shadow puppet mages' movements.
Just as the enemy had done before, he tore his own head open. Just one thought was not enough to support Teng Yunshen to complete the surgical operation to avoid injury in an instant. However, with the wound, he worked hard along the cut surface of the wound, and it was solved, and it came naturally.
Teng Yunshen held the magic sword.
His head was torn apart, like a tattered piece of window paper. Yet, beneath the shattered shape, even with the loss of his full outline, he remains coherent. He was a natural killer, and that talent was like a wind-up clockwork, urging him into the final mechanic. Coherent.
The Shadow Mage's kicks disrupted his center of gravity, but the Killer always found his footing.
Teng Yunshen entered the realm of the magic sword.
At the same time, the shadow puppet mage let go of the shadow in his hand. This is also the simplest action, but in Teng Yunshen's eyes, he is full of flaws.
The magic sword opened up an invincible position for Teng Yunshen.
He stood in the eye of the storm, and in that between all things, their sluggish side was exposed. Invisible space binds them to invisible time. They look a little ...... Shilly-shally.
And every power requires you to pay in exchange for it. The price Teng Yunshen paid was "distance". If he leaves the Eye of the Storm without permission, the Offset Sword Shadow may slice him to pieces.
Teng Yunshen threw his magic sword and retreated just in time before the storm raged. The storm swept the shadow puppet mage off guard.
The power of the magic sword is two-way, it is a double-edged sword, as long as it is not small, the swordsman may suffer from it. And Teng Yunshen applied both directions of his power to the enemy.
Having lost the bonds of the magic of the shadows, the magic sword is unstoppable. The shadow world rejects its brief stay, pushing it into the physical world. And the shadow puppet mage "just happened" to stand in the way of its speeding away. The situation is terrible, miserable.
All this was in Teng Yunshen's expectations, and he knew how things would develop.
Some of the details are slightly different, such as the fact that he puts a mask on the shadow puppeteer's stiff expression, which is just improvisation. For example, the shadow puppet mage used self-disintegration to defuse the attack, which he was surprised to the extent that the opponent was able to do so at high speed.
However, generally speaking, from beginning to end, the situation was under Teng Yunshen's control. Perhaps, the term "control" is not rigorous. The Shadow Mage is more powerful and swift than he is, and in the Shadow Kingdom, the gap between the two is even greater. The person who controlled the whole situation was the shadow puppet mage, and all Teng Yunshen could do was survive before the opponent stepped into the final sprint distance.
It's just that Teng Yunshen knows the way to kill the shadow puppet mage.
Other wizards will pick up their shadows and force them to fight in the physical world. He did the opposite and took the initiative to enter the world of shadows.
In the most familiar environment, the shadow puppet mage lost his vigilance.
Of course, in the face of an enemy like Teng Yunshen, he didn't dare to take it lightly. Even if the origin of the butcher knife was doubtful, Teng Yunshen's daring to attack the four high-ranking wizards also explained a lot of problems. Wizards who are bold but unusually skilled will not live long. Moreover, Teng Yunshen had already killed one-fifth of them, and even if it was opportunistic, it made him tremble.
However, this is the kingdom of shadows, the territory of shadow puppet mages. His mana grew between overlapping shadows, and he was fearless. Here, the shadow puppet mage could even feel Teng Yunshen's weakness more clearly. He did his best, but it was not the same as trying his best to survive. In the shadows, he is a shark, and Teng Yunshen is just a starfish.
As a result, the starfish bit the shark hard.
In the depths of the shadow world, a huge repulsion set off a stormy wave. The magic sword pierced through the shadow puppeteer's newly sewn body.
Teng Yunshen stretched out his hand and picked up his shadow. The shadow puppet mage is still struggling. Teng Yunshen injected the murderous aura into the shadow, and then he put the killing shadow on the other party's body. It was his shadow, which was as toxic as blood. And the magic of killing causes damage all the time.
The shadow puppet mage is in tatters.
Teng Yun rushed deep into the physical world.
Once again, he defeated the strong with the weak, but it was not a victory of intelligence, but more of a victory of luck. He had hidden a killer trick that was beyond the shadow puppeteer's expectations, and nothing more. The enemy did not make a mistake, except that by chance, he obtained the terrible magic sword. The shadow puppet mage counted every step, including his dying throes, but he didn't count that he wielded a magic sword as dangerous as a butcher's knife.
And in the face of the remaining enemies, Teng Yunshen will not have such luck again.
