Chapter 820: The Essence of Killing
"Fair?" Nicholas shrugged his shoulders, despite the injury, he was at a disadvantage. But Zero also had to admit that the other party's calm posture did have the demeanor of a strong man: "Do you think that you can defeat me in this way?"
"Nope. Zero's tone was flat, as if he were telling the slightest thing: "I'm going to kill you, right here." ”
"Kill me?" Nicholas shook his head, "this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, and I don't know what gives you the confidence to say that." Zero, if I don't see it, you're only ten orders at most. ”
"And you're already hurt, and it's not light. If you can still use the 11th level ability, then I made a mistake in judgment, and I deserved to be slaughtered by you. Zero looked up at the dome of the cave: "However, the height of this place is not more than 20 meters. How can I hear that after your domain is expanded, I must maintain a height of about thirty meters......
The smile on Nicholas's face froze, and his face finally sank. As Zero said, his injuries were not light. The wounds Monie gave him hadn't healed yet, and he was hit by Zero two more times tonight. The gunshot wound on the arm should be considered the lightest, but the wound came with a numb and itchy feeling, which was not normal. Even a dirty bomb soaked in nuclear waste could not make him feel abnormal in such a short period of time, and perhaps this dirty bomb was specially refilled.
But the most serious thing was the spiral ripple that Zero sent from behind, and its position overlapped with Mony's sword last night, invisibly doubling Nicholas's original injury.
Above the tenth order, those with abilities form void energy stones, and then use void energy stones to arrange a spar pivot array to allow more powerful energy to pass through the body. The arrangement of the hedron pivot array is naturally formed, but it also implies a law in it. For example, the energy of the eleventh order of Nicholas had to be discharged by the eight void energy stones in order to circulate smoothly. Now that there is one less Void Energy Stone, if you barely use the eleventh-order energy, then when it flows in the body, the energy will lose control due to the incompleteness of the pivot array, and even self-destruct.
It was true that Nicholas could not use the strength of the eleventh order, and he was only bluffing. It's a pity that Zero is not a rookie who has just debuted, and from his words, it is obvious that he has carefully collected information about himself. So when he appeared, he deliberately suppressed his energy breath, making him think that he was a rookie, and he had the idea of taking advantage of it. And now he has introduced himself into this natural cavern, using the limited height of the cavern to limit the use of other fields.
The whole process can be described as a link.
This is a clever hunter, Nicholas thought. Then he said: "You're such a scary creature, no wonder Andrei put you on the must-kill list." As much as I know that he wants to kill you, the greatest possibility is your Vision. ”
"Andrey, so you're from Asmo. Zero nodded: "Then I have no reason to let you go, after all, Andrei's guy will meet him on the battlefield sooner or later." It is good to be able to weaken his strength a little, no matter how you say it. ”
"Perhaps, but you should be glad. Now it's me who is the madman Albert, and he doesn't care if he's hurt or not. Nicholas spread his hands and said, "Then Zero, let's negotiate." You see, apparently I'm not crazy. In this situation that is not in my favor, I don't want to fight hard. I want to get out of here, you can make a offer. Well, even in the future against Andrei, I can help you. ”
Zero was silent and seemed to be considering Nicholas's request. The Prophet waited patiently, and after a few seconds, Zero shook his head: "I refuse." ”
"Are you crazy?" cried Nicholas, "what's the good of fighting with me." Even if you have a chance to kill me, can you guarantee that you will be unharmed?"
"Of course not, but I refuse. Zero's eyes sharpened: "Because I can't trust a person who negotiates with his own life, but his eyes are shining with murderous intent!"
Nicholas took a look, then sighed and said, "You are such a difficult fellow, then, let the horse come." ”
"I want to say that too. ”
And so the battle began in an instant.
As soon as Zero made a move, Nicholas knew that he had run into a natural enemy. He is a capable person in the perception domain, and even if he is at the 11th level, he is by no means good at hand-to-hand combat skills. In previous battles, Nicholas had encountered people who were lower than himself. Due to the natural advantage of rank suppression, coupled with the ability to fully control, Nicholas will not be inferior even in melee combat.
But tonight's situation was special, and he was injured several times, which made people forcibly limit his ability to the tenth order. Coupled with the natural environment of the cave, he suppressed his biggest killer weapon, the Holy Law Puppet. In turn, Zero's previous sniping has brewed enough killing opportunities, and he himself is a person who tends to be fast and explosive. Coupled with the trip to the Western Continent, Zero's strength has increased greatly.
Especially after incorporating the experience that Gaia left him, Zero has now become a master of hand-to-hand combat.
Under the advantages of the other, as soon as the two fought, Nicholas had already fallen behind. Zero attacks are not necessarily frequent, and can even be called rare. More often than not, he was in an irregular motion, but each movement would always fall into Nicholas's blind spot, forcing the Prophet to keep up with zero.
But as mentioned earlier, the two are good at different fields. On the basis of the same level, no matter how hard Nicholas tried, he began to gradually fail to keep up with the speed of zero. As soon as it can't keep up with the speed of Zero's movement, Zero's attacks start to appear.
The attack is very monotonous, with the occasional punch and a kick inside. Otherwise, it would be a horizontal palm, but these unpretentious actions were full of tenth-order energy. Whether it is a fist or a palm, when it comes out, it brings out a thunderbolt-like explosion, which is the sound of energy colliding countless times in an instant, which shows the intensity of the attack, and the slightest carelessness is the pattern of the corpse on the spot.
Without dazzling brilliance, without dazzling abilities, Zero's skill has risen to another level, to the level of great ingenuity. He restored the essence of killing, after all, whether it is gorgeous skills or simple punches and kicks, they are all means of taking people's lives. It's just that the former is easy to obtain, and the latter needs to be tempered to simplify or even abandon the superfluous actions.
Such an opponent is the most terrifying.
After countless battles and digesting Gaia's rich combat experience, Zero's fighting skills have been polished and sleek. In hand-to-hand combat alone, it is enough to be included in the range of top powerhouses.
In contrast, Nicholas is several levels behind.
The two of them were entangled in the cave like phantoms, and the sound of breaking the air and detonations never stopped. The battle lasted only a few minutes, and Nicholas was already wearing a lot of colors. Zero's attacks were accurate and ruthless, and he couldn't resist almost every shot. What's more, he can't keep up with the speed of zero, so how can he predict and block?
And Nicholas was almost all over the body, and Zero was not in a hurry to come out with a killer. Because he knows very well that no matter how strong his skills are, every time he goes all out to kill a target, he will definitely reveal such and such flaws. And a strong man like Nicholas, even if he is not good at hand-to-hand combat, his high-level vision will allow him to see through these flaws. If he fought back, it would be terrifying from a high-ranking person.
So Zero stays in high-speed motion, he is like a wild wolf, patiently searching for the weakness of his prey, constantly tearing off a piece of flesh. It is only when the prey is exhausted and unable to fight back that it bites off its throat in one fell swoop. This is a wolf tactic, and it couldn't be more appropriate at this time.
Soon, Zero sensed that Nicholas's physical strength and energy were constantly decreasing. His movements became more and more sluggish, and if he was only a beat slower before, now it is three or four beats. With the consumption of physical energy and the loss of blood, the shadow of death has been heavily enveloped by this strong man.
The battle continued, Nicholas was already gasping for air, and Zero was just sweating profusely. In contrast, Zero is much more relaxed. Finally, when Nicholas's breath fell to a predetermined level of zero, the wolf finally bared his fangs and bit down on the throat of his prey!
Zero flashed several times in a row, disrupting Nicholas's judgment with a high-speed motion. When the opponent made a mistake, Zero put his five fingers together and plunged deep into Nicholas's waist and ribs. Then the arm will move up, and the opponent's heart will be pinched in one fell swoop, and the battle will be completely ended. Nicholas's hands gripped his arm tightly, and the Prophet turned back, blood streaming from his mouth. But he was still laughing: "Zero, you lost." ”
"You're saying the opposite, aren't you?" Zero said coldly, slamming a punch into Nicholas' chest.
But even though the prophet bounced back, the two hands that grabbed his arms showed no signs of letting go, but held them tighter. Nicholas raised his head and smiled: "No, the one who dies will be you." Your strategy and skill are impeccable. But there was one thing that was not as good as mine, even if I was so badly injured. ”
"Zero, don't forget, I'm the one who can perceive the domain!"
Nicholas's eyes suddenly lit up, almost like the sun, illuminating only these two rounds of bright light in Zero's eyes, and nothing else could be seen.
When Zero came to his senses, he was no longer in the same cave, and Nicholas was no longer with him. It appears to be a lava field around it, with fiery red magma flowing through the hot surface from time to time. The smell of sulfur was emanating from all around, and it was unusually choking. In the distance, there were several black hills on the surface, and from time to time a pillar of fire erupted from the top of the mountain, and then scattered into a scattered rain of fire, which turned out to be some volcanoes.
The sky was crimson, clouds of fire were circulating, and even the howling wind was hot.
It's hell here!
Zero suddenly understands that this is Nicholas's spiritual realm. He is a capable person in the perception domain, and it is not difficult to connect the will of zero into his spiritual realm. And if you kill zero in the spiritual world, then it is equivalent to killing zero in the real world. After all, a body without a will is no different from a vegetative person.
Just then, Zero heard a majestic voice in the sky: "Be judged, sinner!"
Hearing this voice, Zero somewhat understood Xiuya's feelings. He scolded in a low voice: "What a guy who likes to pretend to be a ghost." ”
