46. An assassin in the eye!
For Kaede, the current situation is really not optimistic.
The other party has the ability to put himself at an absolute disadvantage in close combat, and the "soul burning" makes it impossible for Kaede to use weapons to parry with the Yan King's guards;
"Looks like you're going to have to create your own chances......"
Kaede looked at the spear in the other party's hand with a headache - for himself who didn't have the ability to remotely contain now, the ability to burn his soul was simply a nightmare. It is not advisable to parry the opponent's attack, but what if you dodge? The field is limited, and the opponent's speed is quite fast, and there is no way to open the distance.
Fortunately, the attack methods of the Yan King's guards are quite monotonous, and they are mainly melee attacks......
"Huh?"
What did it say, just when Kaede was still glad that the other party lacked the means to attack, the guard of the Flame King threw a mass of magma that was still burning on the surface towards Kaede very shamelessly.
"I bought a watch last year!
Although Kaede gained the ability to be immune to flames with the help of Io, this time the Flame King's guard was very clever in throwing lava with solid mass, even though Kaede was not afraid of flames and high temperatures, but the kinetic energy of the lava thrown at high speed could not be ignored...... Perhaps it was the discovery of Kaede's resistance to flames in the previous battle that led the Flame King Guard to choose such an attack?
It is not difficult for Kaede to avoid such a direct attack, but it is clear that after throwing the flying prop, the main body follows the flying prop to rush forward, playing a hard direct combo, and the defense follows the throwing skill, such a tactic is universal......
Kaede gritted his teeth and used the "Yaksha" to meet the blade of the Yan King's guard, and at the same time, he gave his feet the order to retreat.
"Woo-" Kaede grunted in pain.
However, with the help of the opponent's stabbing force, Kaede was out of the opponent's attack range despite a trance in his brain.
[I see...... With each reorganization, does the ability increase?]
After the first reorganization, the opponent increased the ability to scorch the soul, and after the second reorganization, it was the ability to throw magma from a distance...... Moreover, it seems that the enhancement of capabilities is all targeted.
The first increase in the ability to burn the soul is extremely thorough in the suppression of Kaede who uses melee as a means, and the second enhancement is more targeted, using long-range means of containment + rushing, making Kaede inevitably in a passive situation, depriving her of the possibility of using the Hidden Blade to fight back, and even because of Kaede's resistance to flames, it also chooses lava throwing, which is not very efficient, rather than a simple fireball.
[I can't let it reorganize and evolve anymore, otherwise the suppression of me will only become more and more comprehensive......]
Feng Zhilu said, if it drags on for a long time, it will only become more and more unfavorable to himself, and he must fight quickly.
[Now I am basically in a situation where I am completely suppressed, and I have a very thorough understanding of the other side of "promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses"...... Me, what other hole cards do I have?]
Calm down...... Calm - Kaede kept repeating inwardly.
In the struggle between life and death, any emotions such as anxiety, restlessness, and anger will not only not alleviate the current situation, but will affect one's own judgment. This point has been very clear to Kaede in his past life, and with his calmness in dangerous situations, Kaede has survived countless times in the narrow space of life and death.
[Although it seems that the other party is very powerful, with strong combat power and tenacious vitality, it also has the characteristics of being able to evolve...... But because it can continue to evolve, it means that it is actually imperfect and flawed now, and if it is flawed, it means that I still have a chance. All I have to do is just give it a chance to crush it with a single blow before its next flaw is exposed...... What, when you think about it, it's actually quite simple, isn't it?]
Your own advantages are still enough!
[But first, I need to create opportunities for myself......]
The lava struck again, and Kaede was stunned, and swung the "Yaksha" to knock it away—after a brief time of obstruction of his vision, Kaede clearly saw the figure of the Flame King's guard rushing towards him.
[I...... Enough height is required!】
Kaede jumped up and danced the "Yaksha" to the guards of the Yan King, which was a vertical slash - this "unplanned" move attracted the other party's fierce upward challenge.
"Uh......" Kaede's brain ached as if it was being roasted by the flames, and at the same time, she was also knocked into the air by the attack of the Fire King's guards. There is nowhere to avoid it in mid-air, and when she falls, she will inevitably usher in the opponent's final blow.
However, Kaede doesn't think she's killing herself.
The Hidden Blade in his left hand was already ready, and after Kaede used the "Yaksha" to intersect with the opponent's blade, Kaede immediately stabbed the thorn blade made of the branches of the Tree of Life into his thigh—along with the stinging pain, a cool green immediately flowed through the wound, dispelling the burning pain that surrounded the brain, and Kaede's consciousness immediately cleared.
"Hey, it's all in the calculations...... It hurts ......."
Kaede looked down at the Emperor, and the Flame King guard was ready to deliver the fatal blow when Kaede fell, but it didn't expect that the mind of the "prey" that it thought would be certain to die was also thinking about how to give it a fatal blow.
"The trajectory of its attack, as long as it is calculated, there is no flaw at all...... Oh no, do you want to jump?"
Sensing that the guards of the Yan King did not intend to stand obediently and wait for Feng to fall before attacking, but were ready to jump directly in the air to deliver a fatal blow to themselves, Feng secretly shouted in his heart that he had miscalculated-although Feng was sure that he would not be injured, but in this way, he wasted a nirvana opportunity, and it was more likely that the other party would be aware and take precautions......! In desperation, Kaede threw the "Yaksha" straight at the Flame King's guards!
"Yaksha" sliced through the air and immediately pierced through the opponent's right foot and pinned it to the ground.
Although it only takes one moment to break free from this weak bondage, but in this way, it will also miss the opportunity to kill the opponent, and the guard of the Flame King chose to stay where he was without hesitation and continue to attack Kaede. The powerful ability gives it great confidence - the other party is just dying, and there is nothing to fear!
"It's now!"
Kaede's fall in the air stopped strangely, obviously there was no power in the air, but Kaede's own figure was raised a little - just to avoid the tip of the opponent's gun.
This is a skill that Kaede's ancestors have never comprehended.
Originally, it was supposed to be a high affinity for the wind element, and although this ability has been passed down from generation to generation with the bloodline, Kaede, who does not have the talent of spellcasting, has not been able to awaken this talent. However, Kaede's yearning for freedom makes her compensated on the other side - even though she can't fly, being in the air doesn't deprive Kaede of her freedom of movement. Like a bird, Kaede is able to change its body shape in the air without restrictions.
Compared to another ability that requires a lot of energy, this ability can be said to have turned into instinct, and does not need to be urged by mental power. Actions such as changing direction in the air are as simple as breathing for Kaede.
This short time in the air was enough for Kaede to launch a fatal blow against the Flame King's guards. The opponent's attack had just been swung into the air, and its right foot was still pinned to the ground and could not move, and its weakness was exposed to Kaede's sight.
The emerald green edge submerged from the soul fire in the other party's eyes.
"Whoaoh-"
The Flame King's guard roared in pain, his body uncontrollably and frantically brandishing his spear, and the "Yaksha" used to nail his right foot was pulled out by its stumbling footsteps. But Kaede crouched tightly on the shoulders of the Fire King's guards, and the Hidden Blade in his left hand was straight into the opponent's hollow eye socket that had been separated from the soul fire.
After a moment of struggle, the body of the Flame King's guard began to gradually cool down and turn into rock. This time, the crimson spear didn't turn to ashes and disappear.
"Did it work?"
Kaede kicked off the rocks under his feet and jumped to the ground.
"Isn't this thing going away, or is this my trophy?" or ......" Kaede picked up the spear that emitted an astonishing amount of heat and looked at the center of the large hollow.
There, dark purple crystals still refracted ominous light.
