Chapter 45: Murder by the Sword
Facing the black wolf's amazing kick, Lu Chengfeng instantly made two reactions. The body condition launched a small step backwards, and at the same time, the lightsaber in his hand suddenly doubled the speed and retracted it.
This is a technique similar to the aerial combo - the Shadow Hand!
During the heyday of the Heavenly Wind Empire, in order to seek a breakthrough, the masters of the Lu family, after cultivating the lightssaber to the top, attempted to cultivate other schools at the same time, integrating giant swords, short swords, tai knives, blunt weapons, etc. In this way, no matter what kind of enemy he faces, he can use the most restrained swordsmanship to deal with it, and then he will not be defeated in a hundred battles!
The idea is good, but there is one condition that cannot be ignored, and that is weapons.
In the heat of battle, you have to switch between different types of swordsmanship to use different genres. If you only switch it occasionally, it's fine, but if you change weapons continuously, it will affect the cohesion of your moves, and it's easy to leave a flaw for the enemy. Therefore, after several years of painstaking efforts by several ninth-order and saint-rank masters, they finally developed the technique of the Shadow Killer!
Relying on special techniques and fighting energy stimulation, you can double the speed of retracting the sword momentum and switching weapons.
Of course, this technique is not without its drawbacks, and it is extremely stressful and stressful on the body. If you don't have enough strength, it's easy to cause irreversible permanent damage to your arm. Therefore, if it weren't for the life and death situation, Lu Chengfeng would not dare to use this skill easily.
And then there's the back jump slash!
The previous Shadow Killer was a unique skill of the Lu family, and then the jump slash was a relatively common lightsaber skill. Not only the Lu family, but other lightsaber schools from 1,200 years ago also had similar sword skills. While jumping backwards, the lightsaber in his hand slashed forward in a strange reversal. This can be used to avoid powerful sword skills from frontal enemies while preventing them from pursuing further.
Lu Chengfeng used it to cooperate with the Shadow Hand, and almost perfectly cracked the black wolf's killer leg!
"How is this possible?"
The blow that he had been planning for a long time and fighting to get injured to lure the other party to the bait was actually dodged by the other party unscathed? The black wolf, who kicked with all his strength but missed, was uncontrollable and sluggish.
It would be a coincidence to say that the other party's wonderful back jump to the peak was a coincidence, but looking at Lu Chengfeng's strength was just right, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been rehearsed in advance. Moreover, that homeopathic slash also prevented him from keeping up with the follow-up whirlwind leg method for the first time. How did an ordinary down-and-out nobleman master such exquisite sword skills?
Surprise was surprise, but the black wolf hesitated for a moment and continued his attack the next time.
Although the best time has been missed, the whirlwind leg method of the black wolf at the moment still has great lethality. While forcing Lu Chengfeng to retreat one after another, the black wolf's collapse fist was also ready to shoot again.
After all kinds of attacks did not go well, he planned to rely on the fifth-order fighting qi advantage to consume it with Lu Chengfeng!
Although Lu Chengfeng doesn't like to fight a war of attrition with the enemy, he will definitely not be afraid.
Although his Dou Qi was only of the fourth order, what he cultivated was a modified version of the 72 Dou Qi, the Heavenly Wind Dou Qi. As for the black wolf, an ordinary bandit leader, it is already the limit to be able to have a 48-level fighting spirit. With a realm missing, Lu Chengfeng's Heavenly Wind Dou Qi recovery speed was naturally much faster than that of the black wolf. What's more, Lu Chengfeng also has the Song of Spiritual Energy!
Although this ring is not a secret treasure in the Spirit Clan, it is also a rare gem. The constant ancient memory effect above is also of great help to the recovery of Dou Qi.
With such a double advantage, Lu Chengfeng, who also has a killing move, doesn't mind spending a while more with the black wolf, so that at the last moment, he can use the thunder of the Blue Shadow Thunder Light Sword to bombard the enemy in one fell swoop.
At this moment, he retreated one after another, and in the face of the black wolf's collapse fist again, Lu Chengfeng did not show weakness, and the lightsaber condensed into a light wheel with the power of fluctuations. The layers of fluctuations not only consumed the strength of the collapse fist to the greatest extent, but also made the black wolf stand unstable and lose its center of gravity!
The next moment, the light wheel of the Splitting Wave Slash shattered, and one after another sword qi stabbed towards the black wolf like a sharp sword.
The black wolf's fighting spirit is also strong, and he has the internal training skill of steel and iron bones, so he relied on strong defense to resist Lu Chengfeng's blow. Although he was not seriously injured, he still inevitably had a few more wounds on his body. These wounds, which were not fatal, made the black wolf frightened and angry, but also couldn't help but feel some frustration.
When did he even beat a fourth-order swordsman with a dignified fifth-order?
Although he doesn't have the upper hand from the perspective of the scene, in fact, his fighting skills can hardly hurt the person on the other side. On the contrary, this kid's swordsmanship has repeatedly caused wounds to himself. Although since the start of the war, both sides have tacitly controlled their voices and do not want to be discovered by the city defense army, the black wolf who took the initiative to invade the south of the city is a little weak after all. After confronting Lu Chengfeng viciously for a while, he had a retreat in his heart.
If you continue to fight, it seems that you won't be able to defeat this somewhat evil kid for a while. It's better to evacuate directly, call a helper when you go back, and start over. Although it is inevitable to be ridiculed by that annoying guy, completing the task of the Lord of Changyuan City is the first priority.
And maybe if you don't need him to come again, someone will take the initiative to send it to the door......
The black wolf, who had discovered something, sneered in his heart, shook his fist at Lu Chengfeng, and then jumped out of the window directly and left in a flash.
It's not that Lu Chengfeng can't chase him, the key is that once he chases out, most of the noise he makes will attract the attention of the city defense army. After all, this is the aristocratic district of the capital of the Lanwu Empire, even if it is only on the edge, the attention it has received is extraordinary, and Lu Chengfeng does not want to cause trouble. Besides, even if he catches up with the black wolf, with his strong combat power, he can't solve it by himself in three or two clicks.
"It's really troublesome......"
Lu Chengfeng looked at the black wolf that had disappeared into the darkness, and then looked at the messy room that had been messed up by the battle, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. After retidying up, Lu Chengfeng took a breath and gradually returned to the best state. When he opened his eyes again, Lu Chengfeng, who had fully recovered, changed into a night suit and walked out of the room.
At this moment, he has an extra compass-like thing in his hand.
This is a magic marker to track down enemies!
A big reason why Lu Chengfeng didn't care about letting the black wolf leave was that he had prepared in advance. He used the tracking scroll he bought to cast such a spell in his bedroom. In the ensuing battle with the Black Wolf, the tracking spell has been imperceptibly taken effect and will last for six hours. Then, Lu Chengfeng only needed to hold the magic road marker, and he could track it all the way.
Everything seems to be going well.
According to the instructions of the magic road marker, Lu Chengfeng tracked down to the eastern district of the city. The closest part of this area to the city walls is the slum of Kaiyang City. Compared to other places in Kaiyang, the eastern district of the city is undoubtedly much dirtier, and it is also the base camp of the dark forces in Kaiyang City. The black wolf would hide here, and Lu Chengfeng was not surprised at all. After all, this somewhat famous bandit leader is wanted by the Lanwu Empire with a bounty, and his head alone is worth 10,000 gold. If he lived somewhere else, it is estimated that the black wolf would not even be able to sleep soundly.
Because it was not clear whether the black wolf had other helpers, or whether the underworld forces in Kaiyang City had allies, Lu Chengfeng did not dare to be careless in the eastern district of the city, where dragons and snakes were mixed. At last this deep night helped him a lot, and he turned several ways in the alleys of the slums, but he did not attract anyone's attention.
Eventually, Lu Chengfeng stopped outside a small courtyard where he was alone.
This ordinary courtyard looked old, the walls were peeling and the damp areas were covered with mold and moss. If it weren't for the guidance of the magic road marker, Lu Chengfeng would never have imagined that such a house, which was very common in the slums, would actually be the foothold of the fifth-order wind bandit Black Wolf in Kaiyang City.
Because it was not clear whether the black wolf had arranged some back-ups, Lu Chengfeng did not dare to rush in. He just hid in the dark and patiently observed for hours. Since he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, let alone heard anything useful, Lu Chengfeng finally returned empty-handed before the clouds.
Although he couldn't kill the black wolf and solve the problem completely, it was a big victory to find his foothold.
If it is said that before this, the relationship between the black wolf and Lu Chengfeng was one in the dark and the other in the yin. Now, Lu Chengfeng has also known the black wolf's hiding place and has already grasped the initiative. Now, the key is to have a way to take out the black wolf safely.
The fourth-order Lu Chengfeng has an exclusive lightsaber technique and the consciousness of a quasi-ninth-order master, which can allow him to fight beyond the ranks, and even face a master like the black wolf to gain the upper hand. But it's one thing to be able to beat, it's another to be sure to kill. After all, to be the leader of the bandits, the black wolf must have something real in his hands. In case he used any hole cards to run away at the last moment, then Lu Chengfeng, who was startled, would miss the best opportunity.
At that time, once the black wolf re-hid in the dark, it would be difficult for Lu Chengfeng to find him again.
What to do?
After returning all the way to his home, Lu Chengfeng pondered for a moment and had an idea. This simple and practical method is called borrowing a knife to kill!
The black wolf has been in the Changle Tide Channel for many years, but he has not robbed a flying ship. In particular, those small boat owners who are weak and weak often suffer from it, and they are miserable. Lu Chengfeng is sure that many ship owners are eager to break the black wolf's corpse into pieces. However, first, they were not strong enough, and secondly, they didn't know where the black wolf was, so they never found a chance.
However, at the moment, Lu Chengfeng can provide them with information that they absolutely cannot refuse: the black wolf not only took the initiative to leave from his lair, but also is likely to be alone with him.
For those shipowners, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge!
