boom!
"Ahem..."
The roar of the strong wind and the blast of air flow alternately appeared in her ears. The woman in white armor coughed twice, as if she was choked by the dust that had just blown in front of her, and then slowly shook her head.
She stood up. The dust stained by rolling on the ground fell from her body. She glanced at the sky that was about to enter the dawn inexplicably, and then suddenly jumped to the side, avoiding another ray of light coming from beside her.
The passing invisible sword edge.
Zheng——
The terrifying metal scream passed by her ears again. She narrowed her eyes subconsciously, and then just before she fell to the ground, she raised her sword and put it in front of her, trying to turn around: "Ahem...
you!"
The powerful force slapped her figure to the ground again, but she seemed to be prepared for it. She pushed forward hard and retreated with a beautiful back roll. Then, the black sword that was following closely behind was about to stab her.
In front of his own body, he lifted it into the sky with a sword: "If you don't stop, I will fight back!"
"If you can do it, just come." In the still dark night, the black figure in front of him snickered harshly: "If you can do it..."
snort.
She silently snorted in her heart, and the woman's eyes suddenly became sharp. The long sword turned back in her hand and drew a line of cold light, and then she slashed in front of her, shaking up a large amount of dust and grass blades:
"Earthquake!"
The dull sword edge trembled suddenly, and then was gradually submerged by the suddenly aroused sword edge. It seemed that it was temporarily forced back by the attack of Xueling Huanbing in the shocking momentum. However, the woman's spirit
However, he did not relax at all. Instead, he shrank his hands and hugged his chest. Then, just before the dust was about to dissipate, he exhaled deeply and slashed the prepared sword towards the center: "Drink."
!”
The ice-blue sword edge drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then collided with the black sword edge that quietly appeared behind the dust. However, before the woman's expected proud smile appeared on her face,
, the black dagger, which was much shorter in comparison, produced an unexpectedly powerful force, knocking the long sword back in the woman's hand: "Cang!"
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
The woman who once again fell far away gasped and stood up. The coughing sound covered by her arms became more serious: "This, how is this possible..."
"Although I don't really want to use this method, I still try my best to make this training more realistic." Duan Qing's voice followed his footsteps through the dust and came to the woman: "And...
"
"If you want to continue walking, with this level of power...you will definitely encounter it again."
"But you are using a short sword." The woman's eyes still showed a little surprise: "It is impossible with your attributes and equipment..."
"Back in the Emerald Forest, I could defeat you with a dozen levels of characters." Duan Qing shook his head and whispered: "Now we are both at about the same level, and we want to do something like this.
…”
He flicked the edge of the sword, and the originally dark outline suddenly became more blurry: "Isn't it easier?"
"..."
The woman did not answer Duan Qing's question because her attention was completely focused on the figure that suddenly disappeared. She gritted her teeth tightly, and her hands holding the ice blue sword began to tremble involuntarily.
The somewhat silent eyes also began to shake quickly, sweeping around them as if they were flying around: "Where, where..."
clang!
She suddenly turned around, twisted towards the air there, and suddenly stood up. The upper body covered by the white armor leaned back, and then drove her body back. In the still dark field of vision, two figures appeared.
The posture of confronting the two swords slowly stopped, but the man's voice was like a whisper from the abyss, ringing in her ears one by one: "You actually touched Shirley's roar... You are really lucky.
Okay."
As soon as the woman's eyes opened, she clenched her teeth and had no time to answer Duan Qing's words, because the hateful man standing with a sword in one hand laughed a few times again, then waved his left hand and waved a yellow magic light.
At her feet: "earth wall."
"whispering sound……"
Gritting her teeth and letting out an unwilling sigh, the woman gave up her stance of continuing the confrontation, instead let go and swung her long sword forward, and then retreated in the direction behind her just before the earth wall was about to lift her up.
In the past, the explosion belonging to the earth appeared in front of her in the next moment. She covered it with her arm slightly, and then at the moment when the whistling sound of air approached, she raised her long sword again. The pursuit was unexpected.
Not appearing in front of her, her eyes stagnated for a second, then she suddenly turned back and looked at the smiling face close at hand: "You are..."
"Where are you looking?"
Boom!
A dull vibration suddenly appeared in the air behind the earth wall. It was the sound of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice lying upward being punched away.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough..."
In the distant grass, the woman's coughing became more violent, but after a moment, she still held on to the hilt of the sword stuck in the ground and struggled to stand up: "Damn it..."
The black sword blade flew like lightning again, drawing her attention to the midair in front of her again. She raised the sword with all her strength, trying to block this attack, but the swords were about to collide.
The moment before, she deviated from the original curve and passed under the long sword. The long woman's eyes narrowed, but her body retreated without any pause. The hilt of the sword in her hand was smashed down, trying to hit the sword.
He rejected the black sword edge that was about to stab his chest, but before this temporary change of tactics had any results, the black sword edge retracted faster along its original direction.
, then made a full circle in the air along someone's wrist, and chopped it off towards the woman's head——
boom!
Subconsciously raising the long sword in her hand at an angle, the woman quietly closed her eyes, seemingly giving up the attempt to resist before her last effort, letting the feeling of terror and death envelope her whole body.
But the next moment, those substantial breaths slowly left him, and then as the man gradually retracted his movements, it turned into a helpless sigh: "Forget it."
"Now that I think about it... your condition today is not good either." Duan Qing took the black dagger back to his waist: "I just experienced a tragic battle, my confidence was hit, and in the end I had to rush
Come back here quickly..."
"What on earth do you want to do?" The woman, who still had her eyes closed, took two steps back again, covering her chest and leaning on the hilt of her sword: "You start a fight if you disagree with me, why don't you explain it to me..."
"Of course I want to put some appropriate pressure on you."
Duan Qing looked at the woman's still trembling hands, and then showed a strange smile: "Don't you realize... the breakthrough you just made?"
"...what are you doing?"
"The last swing in the previous confrontation..." Duan Qing walked up to the woman, and then pointed in the direction of the disappeared earth wall: "Didn't you realize what you had done?"
The woman's pupils suddenly dilated, and then she glanced in the direction Duan Qing pointed: "I, what did I do..."
"Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future anyway."
Showing a helpless look towards the other party, Duan Qing retracted his arm, then sighed and fell back, sitting neatly at the feet of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "There are many ways to improve perception.
Spiritual practice is the most stable type, while practicing on-the-spot reactions to dangers and other stimuli... is the most risky type."
"A...reaction to danger?" The woman's eyes gradually became a little lost in thought: "Could it be...?"
"In the previous game, you actually reached a certain critical point." Looking at the side face of the woman who gradually sat down, Duan Qing replied with a smile: "You are a person with strong enough willpower, so that kind of
A certain degree of pressure can more easily stimulate your fighting spirit, and a person who often survives in dangerous situations... is often the person who is more likely to achieve some kind of breakthrough."
"But..." Xue Ling Huanbing's eyes showed some kind of understanding, and then turned to doubt again: "Why haven't I succeeded?"
"Perception amplification is an attempt and a gamble." Duan Qing stretched his hands back and looked up at the sky above: "God knows when you can find that balance, maybe you can understand it next time, maybe
You will never be able to understand this thing like probability in your life... No one can help you increase anything except yourself. What I can help you now is to describe to you the theory required for this balance.
The only thing that can be done... is probably to increase your chances of understanding."
"As long as there are enough samples, you will always seize one of the opportunities." Duan Qing spread a hand towards the other party: "The rest... you still have to rely on yourself."
"Is that so..." The woman sighed inaudibly: "Put yourself in danger, so that you can..."
"Don't think about deliberately looking for trouble." Duan Qing immediately reminded: "If you do such things consciously, the effect will be much worse, because your attention... is not focused on those things at all."
"..."
The woman was silent for a while as usual, and then sat up holding her knees: "...I understand, it's a training similar to crisis response. In this way...shorten the time for me to understand."
"If you understand it this way...your method seems to be correct."
Looking towards the end of the road not far away, Duan Qing also sat up slowly: "I don't know if this will be effective, but... knowing this truth is always good for you. If you do it in the future
If I have time, I may continue to train with you, or teach you more practical skills, such as the one before, which was a variation of the round sword... Hmm."
He withdrew his gaze and said, "It's getting late, so we'd better stop here today."
"I'm not tired." Xueling Huanbing shook her head: "I can still hold on for a while..."
"Come on." Duan Qing slapped his butt and stood up: "How many times have you coughed, so you should go back and rest quickly. You have damaged your body, but there is really no chance of making a comeback, and..."
He pointed to the far east side of the road, in the direction where the noise was gradually getting louder: "We seem to have been discovered."
"What?" Xue Ling Huan Bing was shocked: "How could it be... shouldn't there be no players at this time?"
"Don't forget where this is."
Looking at the horizon on the other side, the faint shadow of the fortress standing in the dawn, Duan Qing showed a bitter smile: "We are in a state of war now, and where we are..."
"It can be regarded as the middle of the battle between the two armies."
*********************************
"So... those fighting sounds just now were all caused by you?"
In front of Anta Town, Colorful Spiritual Light, who was directing others to retreat, looked around Duan Qing and asked with a strange expression: "At this time... what are you doing in such a deserted place?"
"Ah hahaha." Duan Qing, who was scratching the back of his head, smiled dryly: "I ran into some trouble in Tania, so I ran out to avoid the limelight, but ended up running into a lot of trouble again..."
"It sounds miserable." After looking in the direction Duan Qing pointed for a few times, Qicai Lingguang shook his head and sighed, "But...compared to people like us, it shouldn't be that miserable."
"Well……"
Thinking of the battle report that came from here, Duan Qing began to look towards the town: "How is the principality's defense doing now?"
"It's terrible."
Colorful Emmanuel also looked in the direction of the town: "There are not many troops left in the principality, and the private soldiers of the nobles who came to support are also a bunch of losers. Only adventurers like us who often mess around in the battlefield can keep an eye on it for a while, but because of that
In recent competitions, there have been fewer high-level players here to support the scene, and there are not many adventure groups that can be considered as combat effective. Now I have become a polished commander..."
"If it weren't for the fact that the empire wanted to negotiate peace, I'm afraid this place would have fallen long ago." He finally added, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked Duan Qing up and down and said: "Come to think of it...my sister
Qian Zhihe, is he with you now?"
"Uh...yeah." Duan Qing scratched his cheek: "Although she is not an official member yet, she spends most of her time following our adventure group..."
"No, no, no, mine is your offline gathering." Qicai Lingguang's expression became even stranger: "Isn't she...are you going to meet in Hualan City? She shouted in front of me several times and was ready to salute.
It’s been a long time…”
"Why, you didn't see her?" Seeing Duan Qing's expression gradually becoming ugly, the doubts in Qicai Lingguang's eyes became more and more serious: "Aren't you guys okay... at which station are you going to meet...
"
"I go first."
After leaving these words hastily, Duan Qing ran towards the town's hotel enclave, then chose to log off as the surrounding players watched, and slowly disappeared into the air around him.
