Chapter 17: The Blade of Guardianship
Li Qing, 23 years old, is a B-level mid-level knife master.
Although he is already the best among his peers, he understands that his level is not unusual.
He was never a genius.
After refining his body day after day, and grinding his fighting spirit year after year, he has a strength that can be called good.
At the same time - just good.
Talented......
The image of a man flashed through his mind.
Back then, the long-haired boy who was only 16 years old saved his sister and brother from purgatory like an immortal. He is unparalleled, his knife skills are transcendent but elegant, and he is still a 16-year-old B-class.
But they can't say it, and he won't say it, so they can only swear to follow this grown up teenager to the death.
Whether he became paranoid or not, no matter where he went, even if he died, they did not hesitate.
This is the gratitude of their sister and brother.
The "Lee" sword technique is not famous, neither as fast and fierce as the "Bafang Fist", nor as extremely elegant as the extreme Yi school, but it is truly worthy of the name - the guardian knife technique!
Li Qing held the knife in both hands, crossed in front of him, did not take the initiative to attack, and stood steadily and calmly in the center of the encirclement.
However, the nightmare couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and two of them rushed forward, one after the other, raising their daggers and slashing their heads.
"Keeping the Scrolls: A Forest of Trees"
Li Qing ignited a strong fighting spirit, swung the silver blade from right to left, and at the same time as he opened the dagger in front of him, the blade was castrated, and it was lifted above his left shoulder. The two nightmares were pushed away by the strong fighting spirit, passed by the left and right sides of the young man respectively, and fell to the ground.
For a while, except for the original nightmare, the rest swarmed up.
In the face of the rushing enemy, Li Qing was calm as usual, and his sword was steady but he pulled out the remnants of the Dao. In the realm covered by his fighting spirit, he is the hundred-year-old giant tree that is as immobile as a mountain, and he is the most solid backing for his partners.
Nightmare noticed that he didn't seem to be moving quickly, but he was always able to block their attacks just right, and with them an equally non-aggressive counterattack.
The strongest nightmare finally couldn't bear it, and when he saw the gap where his teammates' attacks were blocked, he stabbed straight with his dagger, thinking that he could hit with one blow, but when he approached the young man's side, he felt a huge resistance.
"Scroll: Mayfly Shakes the Tree"
Li Qing looked at the comer, twisted his wrist, and pointed the tip of the knife towards the dagger. Nightmare only felt that his hands were pressed with a thousand powers, and seeing that his entire body was about to be brought down by the dagger, he decisively threw away his weapon and rolled to the side twice with his hands on the ground.
Even if his physical strength has become inexplicably stronger, Nightmare is naturally still not as good as the disciples of the family who have practiced martial arts since childhood and have rich combat experience, so ...... Out of his eye, he saw the girl still slashing through the air with a knife.
Because of her mental disorder, the girl even cut her left hand during the attack, and blood spilled all over the ground.
Nightmare moved, picked up a dagger shot down by his companion, and galloped towards the girl.
He was right!
Seeing this, Li Qing really dispersed his defense, hurriedly waved his knife and flew a few people, chasing the other party's back.
The tenacious nightmare rose again, swinging his weapon in an attempt to slow down the youth's pursuit.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Qing burst into a snort, and for the first time mercilessly cut off the enemy, the nightmare's chest burst with blood, and he fell to the ground with a scream and swallowed his breath.
However, it was such a small delay, and the B-class nightmare had already arrived in front of the girl.
Got it!
A flash of joy flashed across the man's face, and the dagger fell high.
The girl looked dazed, relying on instinct to stretch out her bloody left hand to resist, the sharp blade penetrated her entire palm, and the inertia continued to fall with the tip of the knife, and finally stopped in front of her eyeballs.
The man was about to pull out the dagger to mend the knife, but he saw that the girl's dilated pupils suddenly condensed, and she tightened her five fingers as if she didn't feel pain, and actually held the dagger tightly.
At the same time, Lin Zuzu gathered his fighting spirit on his right arm, stabbed forward with a sharp blade, pierced the man's abdomen, and then turned fiercely, directly shattering the opponent's internal organs.
He looked down at the wound in disbelief, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground, blood pouring out of his mouth, his eyes gradually darkening with a "gurgling" sound in his throat.
Seeing this, Li Qing immediately turned around suddenly!
"Storm Scroll: Spear Knife Tree"
He changed Xu Rulin's battle mode just now and stabbed out multiple times.
Almost at the same time, the four nightmares who were chasing each other had several more blood holes in their bodies, disintegrating their ability to continue fighting, and for a while the screams were endless.
The continuous unleashing of moves made the young man also breathe, and when he saw that the danger in front of him was lifted, he hurriedly ran to the girl's side.
"Is it okay?"
Lin Zuzu put down the knife and said with a wry smile: "Wouldn't it be too pretentious to say that it's okay?" ”
She exhaled, then little by little pulled out the dagger in her palm and tossed it aside, her brow twitching in pain.
Li Qing saw the shocking wound on the girl's palm, but felt a little lucky, if it wasn't for the pain that lifted her illusion, it wouldn't be good......
Lin Zuzu used a little bit of fighting energy, but she could only suppress the flow of blood, after all, she didn't have enough to see the total amount, and if she used some more, she wouldn't be able to gather the circulation.
"It's still equivalent to being stabbed twice, what a loss." Lin Zuzu muttered to himself.
"What?"
Looking at the young man's puzzled face, she raised her hand and gestured to the wound and explained, "I was awake just now. ”
A few minutes ago, just when Lin Zuzu had been tricked into an illusion and fell into a murderous situation, a voice was shouting frantically.
"Hey! Are you stupid!! It's so easy to get caught up in what you look at every day?"
"Stupid woman, wake up!!
"Don't waste your energy!! It's going to be the limit!"
At the same time, Ming Qiaoqiao, who was a few hundred meters away, was also trying to pry open her brain with her mental power. Fortunately, she had a lot of mood swings, and Ming Qiaoqiao found an opportunity.
"Concentrate on No. 4!! It's just an illusion!! She gradually increases the power of the injection, similar to pressing the plus sign of the volume button.
"It's just an illusion!"
Lin Zuzu in the hallucination suddenly felt very noisy, and there were always some rustling voices that annoyed her under the screams.
What are you talking about?
What...... Hallucination......
The girl was a little confused, she looked around-
The dismembered pieces of the alien race were piled up, and it was impossible to see the original appearance, and the foul blood accumulated into puddles of blood, and more shadowy and strange black shadows were approaching her.
Hallucination?
Hallucination!
The girl frowned, and before her spirit was eroded again, she decisively stroked the blade with her left hand. However, the pain of cutting her palm only cleared her brain for a few breaths, and the hallucinations did not go away.
It seems that it is not good to be too pain-tolerant......
She gripped the knife with her backhand wryly, raised it high without hesitation, and then—thrust it into her left palm.
In the midst of intense pain, the real world becomes clear.
Where there was some weird ghost tree poisonous flower, she was still in the woods.
So when the nightmare hits, she will do what she wants, meet the enemy with her left hand that already has a wound, reduce the opponent's alertness, and then - defeat the enemy in one move.
It's just that the dagger is wider than the silver blade, and when it pierces the flesh, it expands the wound a little more.
"But why are these nightmares so powerful? And there is no vindictiveness. ”
In the battle just now, Li Qing clearly felt that the other party had B-level speed, and if they were more experienced in combat, they would have to fall into a bitter battle if they didn't do it well.
"Let's go, let's go and meet No. 2 and No. 3 first." Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the blood stains on the knife showed signs of coagulation, and did not withdraw the knife for the time being.
Except for the last two missions to the organization, he rarely used nearly half of his fighting spirit in a mission, and the group moves were really a bit laborious to use.
"Something, approaching you at high speed!!" Ming Qiaoqiao's voice came again, sounding very anxious.
Before the words fell, a dark shadow quickly swept over the trees with a cold light, and headed straight for the two.
So fast!
Li Qing once again unleashed the "Wood of the Ten Circles" and took the sharp stab of the knife from the opposite side to the vital point. The other party felt that his attack had fallen on the cotton, and immediately changed the target of the attack, brandishing a dagger and slashing at the girl's neck.
Lin Zuzu barely blocked the blow with the back of the knife in his left hand, but the huge force still made her take a few steps back.
Seeing the opportunity, Li Qing immediately stabbed his hand and successfully pierced the opponent's shoulder, and the blade struck upward, almost cutting off the opponent's left arm. The man let out a cry of pain and quickly retreated.
"Beware of spells!"
A black vine with barbs stealthily and quickly struck the young man, far faster than the black shadow.
Li Qing was startled, barely turned sideways, the blade fell, and the vines broke on the ground. But he still got some rubbing, but the wound wasn't deep, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Is it real this time?
Lin Zuzu looked at the broken vines in a daze, and she tried her best to stabilize her mind and prevent herself from falling into illusion again.
"Don't you know me? It's so sad~"
The voice of temptation came, and a well-built figure appeared in the direction of the vines, approaching them in style.
The mist is gradually dissipating, and the person who comes is slowly revealing his true nature.
Lin Zuzu looked up in a trance, it was-
Elise.
