45. Guards

When the spears and swords intersected, Kaede could feel a strong force coming from the tip of the sword, and for a while, there was a numbness in the tiger's mouth, and the "Yaksha" almost came out of his hand.

And the opponent's charge has not stopped, the huge force and strong speed, so that Feng can not unload the opponent's strength to counterattack at all, can only hold the opponent's gun blade, and was dragged out of the rock layer by the impact for nearly ten meters.

[There is no way to match the strength at all......]

Sensing that the opponent's sprint speed had slowed down slightly, Kaede did not hesitate to stretch out his left foot and step behind him, using his lunge to resist the impact of the Yan King's guard, and at the same time leaning his body slightly to the right, gently flicking the Yan King's guard's spear to the left. The opponent's spear, which couldn't be contained, poked into the air, and the empty door was wide open......

Kaede danced the "Yaksha" and shone a sword on the flank of the Yan King's guard—when the blade pierced into the opponent's body, Kaede felt like he was slashing a hard rock. Luckily, "Yaksha" was also extremely sharp, and although there was a slight pause, it still cut a hideous wound very smoothly.

With a successful blow, Kaede retreated without hesitation—almost at the same time, the crimson tip of the spear sank into the rock formation beneath Kaede's feet.

"It's hard to ......"

Once an ordinary person is attacked like this, severe injuries and severe pain can deprive the opponent of their ability to fight in the first place, and even if they hold out at that time, heavy bleeding will quickly crush the opponent's body. However, seeing the guy in front of him who was almost completely dissected but was still able to fight back unaffected, Kaede also had a headache. Not to mention that the other party has now begun to congagulate the "wound".

"Normal tactics are useless against it, and no matter how much 'damage' it causes, as long as it's not fatal, the way to reduce its physical strength is meaningless...... Fatal Damage...... Fatal parts ......"

In order to take down the opponent, Kaede needs to have the means to inflict lethal damage on the opponent, as well as know the opponent's fatal weakness. But the problem is that Kaede knows almost nothing about the other party's intelligence.

"The strength and explosion are far stronger than me, but the reaction is slightly sluggish, but ......"

Kaede glanced at the blade of the "Yaksha", which was narrow and slender, and it was really not suitable for a hard-to-face enemy with a strong force.

"Yaksha" is known for its lightness and sharpness, and if you usually go head-to-head with some enemies, you have no problem at all with its sharpness and sufficient qualities. But the guard of the Flame King in front of him is arrogant, and the spear in his hand can also be seen to be extraordinary, even if the "Yaksha" is good enough, it itself is not a weapon suitable for such a wrestling battle.

[It's really bad, here the special ability of "Yaksha" is disturbed and cannot be used, and my ability seems to be also unusable because of the particularity of the space here, that is, all the hole cards that I usually rely on have been sealed...... Hehe, can you only rely on the abilities and equipment you just acquired?]

Fortunately, relying on the battle memories and experience of his own ancestors from the "Yaksha", Kaede can also keep up with the opponent's footsteps in close combat, and the branches of the Tree of Life given by Io give Kaede the blessing of immunity to fire, which is especially effective in the battle with the guards of the Fire King in front of him, and the Hidden Blade with great lethality is the guarantee that Kaede can achieve a fatal blow......

It's just that due to the particularity of the shape of the Hidden Blade, it can only inflict damage on the opponent with a close-range stabbing attack, which is very dangerous in itself, not to mention, Kaede doesn't know where the Achilles heel of the guards of the Yan King of the Dao Dao is - before finding the weakness of the other party, Kaede does not intend to expose his worst killer feature.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

Pulling out the spear inserted into the rock formation, the Flame King's guard roared angrily.

Kaede's eyes lit up, and when he mentioned "Yasha", he took the initiative to meet it - Kaede didn't plan to let the other party take the lead!

Even if you don't consider the physical ability of the Flame King's guard, just because of the difference in the weapons between the two, Kaede can't let the opponent take the initiative - once the opponent takes the initiative, with the advantage of the length of the spear, it can completely press Kaede out of the effective attack range, making Kaede can only defend passively. What's more, with the strength of the Yan King's guards, once it is suppressed, it will definitely not be able to turn over.

[You have to find out its weaknesses first......]

Kaede danced the "Yaksha" to attack the Yan King guards, but the other party reacted very quickly and stabbed straight - the Yan King guards were not afraid of exchanging injuries for injuries, but rather, it was the one who was suitable for the "injuries for injuries" strategy with a near-immortal body, and Kaede was just an ordinary human being, and he would never be able to win in such a battle.

"Don't look down on people, Soul Light!"

Kaede grabbed the tip of the Flame King's guard's spear with the Yaksha, took a big step forward, lifted one foot off the ground, and slammed the whip leg into the Flame King's guard's calf, which was not covered in rocks. In other words, it is impossible for anyone else to mess around like Kaede, because although the flames burning on the Flame King's guard are not as exaggerated as those of the Flame King, there is no doubt that they are not something that a mere human body can bear, and shaking its flames with flesh is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. It's just that......

——The old lady is self-confident!

Under Kaede's merciless blow, the lower leg of the Yan King's guard, which had not yet begun to harden, was kicked in two by Kaede from the middle, and he knelt down on one knee with a bang. But even so, it still manipulated its spear to attack Kaede.

However, the advantage of the spear does not include close quarters...... In front of an excellent assassin like Kaede who is good at seizing the opportunity, such an obvious omission will naturally not be let go, Kaede raised his right foot and kicked the head of the Yanwang guard right in the middle with a roundabout blow - it was only when the Yanwang guard knelt down that Kaede, who was 1.6 meters tall, could barely use his kicking technique to hit the opponent's head.

The opponent's figure shook under this blow, and Feng took advantage of the situation to pursue, jumping up and smashing down on the top of the head of the Yan King's guard with an axe!

Leg Skill Mystery: One Meter Six Fury!

After receiving a series of heavy blows to the head, the Flame King's guard also stopped his actions as if the fire had been extinguished, and even the spear in his hand came out of his hand - but Kaede did not step forward to continue the attack, but quickly dodged to the left.

Because right behind her, a spear that glowed crimson was coming at her!

"Heh, it's really dangerous...... "After dodging the attack from behind, Kaede took the time to glance at the place where the Yan King's guard was standing, where only a pile of charred rocks still emitted heat remained, and the good texture of the spear had also turned to ashes.

"It's still the same guy, right?"

Seeing that spear that was the same as before, Feng could still guess that the guard of the Flame King in front of him was probably a conceptual body formed by relying on the weapon in his hand.

[The moment it took off its weapon, it stopped moving, and then almost at the same time, it appeared right behind me and attacked me...... Isn't it a weakness that doesn't count as a weakness?]

Even if Kaede Zhilu said that the other party relied on the spear in his hand, and it would collapse without the spear, but once it collapsed here, it would quickly reorganize in a very short period of time - it could even be said that if it used a powerful blow to break the guard of the Flame King, it could immediately reorganize and counterattack before it recovered.

[No, with my ability, continuing to delve deeper into this area will be a dead end, and I will have to find another way. 】

If it were Io, she might have the ability to sever the connection between the Flame King's guard and the spear in his hand, but Kaede knew little about the other party, and she didn't have the means to force it.

However, the other party would not give Kaede time to think about how to defend against the enemy, and the guards of the Flame King roared furiously and attacked Kaede.

"Hey, here again...... Woo!"

Kaede snorted in pain, and the whole person flew upside down, and when he was caught off guard, the "Yaksha" also came out of his hand.

At the moment of the fight, Kaede felt a sharp pain in his brain as if it had been pricked by a needle, and even after being trained by a brutal assassin, he was robbed of the ability to resist for a while.

Fortunately, Feng reacted immediately, facing the rapidly enlarged blade tip in front of him, and subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid the fatal blow.

But the other party's attack did not end, and before Kaede could come to her senses, a large flaming hand slammed into her neck, slamming Kaede to the ground.

"Uh-ahem, ahem......"

As if to smash Kaede into the ground, the hand of the Yan King's guard tightly pressed the wind's throat. Kaede, who was suddenly attacked, was choked and almost out of breath, and his hands couldn't use his strength, so he could only grab the other party's hand in pain and in vain.

[Hey...... I'm glad I'm still immune to flames, otherwise I'd have been burned to charcoals by now?...... Hey, I still have the mind to think about it, huh?]

Now Feng could even clearly see that the soul fire flickering in the eyes of the Yan King's guards seemed to spread contempt as if he was laughing at his own inadequacy......

Since it has soul fire, it is not exactly an appendage of a weapon, but also has its own consciousness...... But, damn it, even if you stretch the Hidden Blade to the longest, you can't reach its eyes......]

Gradually, because of the lack of oxygen, Kaede began to feel that his consciousness was blurred, and realized that his current situation was not good, Kaede instinctively moved his gaze around irregularly, hoping to find a life-saving straw.

Suddenly, Kaede's gaze rested on something.

[If that's the case...... Woo! There's no time! I'll decide it's you!]

As soon as his mind moved, Kaede's left hand was immediately covered by strange vines, and immediately, a crystal green thorn blade extended out from under the palm of Kaede's left hand...... Kaede lifted his last strength and swung his left hand, turning the Tree of Life into a Hidden Blade and stabbing it towards the spear stuck in the ground of the Fire King's guard!

The body of the spear, which was the color of lava and was actually hard and uncast, seemed to be a liquid at the moment, and the Hidden Blade was like cutting cheese, easily splitting the spear in two.

Kaede saw a look of pain flash from the soul fire in the eyes of the Yan King's guard, but before he could let out a cry of pain, his body began to condense as before, and then fell apart - Kaede quickly broke the arm that began to solidify, and rolled to avoid the rock that then collapsed.

Kaede hurriedly took precautions, but soon realized that this time the Flame King guard did not immediately reappear. After having a guess in his heart, Kaede quickly rushed to the place where "Yaksha" fell and picked up his love sword.

"That was the ...... just now," Kaede remembered the tingling sensation that was churning in his mind when he was attacked before, "Could it be that this is the so-called 'soul burning'?"

Legend has it that the superior demon can use magic to ignite the soul as a way to torment its prey. Kaede also knows something about such famous evil magic - because in one mission, her target was an evil sorcerer who studied demonic spells, and although she had never experienced actual feelings, she still knew a little about the other party's notes.

It's just that she didn't expect that the Flame King guard in front of her would also do this, and it seemed to be integrated into the weapon, as long as it came into contact with the strange spear, it would inevitably be attacked by it, although it was not like a demonic spell that could cause lasting damage, and it was even more difficult to guard against at the time. What's more, as long as the other party is given a chance, a loss of mind is enough to lead to his own defeat.

Just as Kaede was thinking, a hoarse roar came from not far away. Kaede cast his gaze and saw that the Flame King Guard was condensing and forming again. But this time, Kaede could obviously notice that the other party's gaze lingered on his left hand for a while—obviously, the other party was already wary of Kaede's hand.

"It's getting tricky......"
