Chapter 23, Dreams Return to Nothingness
"Let's get started. ”
Edward opened his mouth as if he had made a declaration, and the silence and confrontation ended, and the moment our eyes met, we both bounced up and rushed towards each other!
I don't know Edward the man, and he can't know me, but in the present atmosphere, we can read each other's eyes like old friends!
His first blow was a two-handed slash raised above his head, obviously a long sword, but it seemed to have the momentum of a giant hammer, which instantly gave me the illusion that after hitting the stroke, it would not be split in half, but would be smashed into pieces! This is the gap in experience! In just an instant, my momentum was completely covered! If I just hit it like this, I would definitely die a miserable death!
Fortunately, I didn't think about head-to-head head-to-head from the beginning!
Although my movements and expressions were full of indomitable determination and determination, I didn't play half the speed at all! In other words, it was actually a performance! I could change direction or pause or even jump backwards at any time!
That's right! If you want to defeat a strong enemy like Edward, you don't have to think about decency and integrity at all! All dirty and despicable means that can be thought of and can't be imagined must be tried, because the final result is only life and death!
I chose to jump sideways like the right back, the tip of his sword slashed less than three centimeters from my forehead, but in the end it still missed, and I swung my left hand to stretch the light blade to the limit, and from half a meter to one meter, the light stabbed mercilessly at the gauntlet where he held the sword in both hands!
"Oh, it's obviously different from just now...... And your wound seems to be fine, very interesting, but still too weak!!"
Edward's way of breaking the siege was simple and brutal, he bounced his left leg and kicked me in the abdomen, sending me into the air with one kick!
"Poof......"
My subjective feeling was like being hit by a motorcycle, and I almost choked on a mouthful of blood!
How can this be fought?! The difference in strength is too great! The trembling of hands and feet cannot be stopped!
At the same time as I fell to the ground, Edward had already withdrawn the sword that he had slashed with all his might, and jumped lightly to make up for the next blow, but he didn't use his strength as he did at the beginning, and although he couldn't kill him with one blow, he could change his moves at any time according to my reaction!
Damn! He's just pretty good at it!
But even if I gamble on everything, the odds of death are still overwhelmingly high!
I didn't have time to get up, so I rolled and stretched out the blade to try to block his attack, but something happened to startle both of us! His sword slashed through the blade of light on my left hand without hindrance!
I've never had a sword in a previous battle, so I didn't even notice it! It's invisible, and even if it can hurt people, it's not a real weapon! Although there are burning marks on his sword, it doesn't break, that is, it can still hurt me!
But I was surprised, not only did I not withdraw the light blade, but stabbed him in the lower abdomen!
A hint of hesitation flashed in Edward's eyes, and then he took a few steps back with some reluctance!
He could have killed me like that, but my counterattack would leave him disabled for life, and if he didn't retreat, it would be a foregone conclusion in two seconds!
"What the hell is that light...... what the hell is that light......?"
Edward stared at the light blade on my left hand with some solemnity, thinking about countermeasures, his advantage is strength, and the two of us are almost the same in terms of agility, which means that in the face of the undefensible light blade in my hand, the price of killing me will inevitably be a lack of arms, legs or other disabilities, this is definitely not the outcome he wants to see! This battle should only be the beginning of a dream, not the end!
I quickly took advantage of him to get up, of course, I didn't let my guard down in the process of getting up, although it was a bit masochistic to say this, but I did regain a trace of life in a desperate situation!
Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, this defenseless blade of mine is bound to make the opponent throw a mouse, that is to say, I can and must use this as much as possible! The purpose of the opponent is simple, to kill me without irreparable injury, and the sooner the better!
Looking at him like this, I suddenly smiled, and looked at the trash fish with a solemn face in front of me with some sadness!
"I see, you just want to reap the rewards and don't want to pay any price. Then you will never be able to defeat me! This is the gap in consciousness, and I am going to go up!"
I said to him the first and probably the last sentence since we met...... I lowered my center of gravity and started to accelerate!
"What are you laughing at?!What will you know about my ideals and ambitions!! and the future I have in mind?!! I'm going to kill you!!
Edward roared fiercely, and then rushed at me with some madness, his sword raised with a crisp and neat movement, which was based on a lot of training, and the immovable spine ensured the stability and strength of the movement, and it seemed that he was indeed ready to end this farce with one blow.
But I didn't back down!
After being detached from school and the daily life of civilization, my thoughts have become so dangerous!
I ignored the other man's weapon and was bent on stabbing the light blade on my left arm into his heart! I used reason to force myself to forget about myself and only think about taking the other person's life! The illusory future was clearly visible! I would be split in two by him from the right shoulder, but his heart would also be pierced through the heart!
My breathing was unsteady like never before, I was sweating, my eyes were wide open, I didn't want to let go of the slightest detail, and I had to force myself to forget my instinct for self-preservation, and if I took half a step back, it would be all in vain!
My trembling was close to a slight spasm, and I was afraid, very afraid, so scared that it seemed as if my heart was being grasped by something, but yet it was so hot that it seemed to burn!
"Uhhhh!!!h
I can't help but let out a roar to vent my fear! At this moment, I am a pawn in chess, I can only advance, not retreat! Even if there is a rook in front of me!!
Giving up thinking, I must not think of death, if the other party does not back down, the final outcome is either the same end or Edward is seriously injured and dying, my choice of survival does not exist from the beginning!
I'm going to survive!!!!
My nerves finally told me that my blade had successfully pierced his body!
The brave wins, but really not everyone can overcome fear, such as me, if I am forced to jump off a cliff like Zhang Wuji, maybe I don't even have the courage to jump, because of fear of heights (/ω\), I hope everyone can overcome fear and break through themselves, which is really meaningful and valuable.
