Chapter 522 The Fate of the Ant (please vote for the big chapter)
He Ao raised his hand and rotated the hilt of the sword along with the opening and closing of his fingers, making an outer wrist gesture, changing from holding the sword in the forehand to holding the sword in the backhand.
Then he raised his wrist, the sword instantly stood upright, and swung it forward diagonally.
Under the cover of night, a pitch-black narrow sword suddenly stretched out from the void and collided with the invisible sword body.
Buzz——
It was the trembling sound of swords clashing.
Rhodes and He Ao took two steps back at the same time and looked at each other.
Evenly matched.
In the 'test move' just now, He Ao activated his super memory, mobilized his spiritual consciousness, and used techniques to gather the power of his body into his wrists.
And Rhodes is a real B-class.
"Your body is not as weak as it appears."
Rhodes smiled, and he stretched out his hand to loosen the tie around his neck, so that the decoration would not affect his movements.
At this moment, under his feet, a circular array with a triangular cross pattern embedded in the middle slowly lit up.
In the city behind Rhodes, green rays of light shined under the lights.
These radiances complement each other with the magic circle at his feet, providing coordinates and directions for the great existence beyond endless time and space.
Heao stared at the places that were lit up with light.
Not all murder scenes are illuminated.
In fact, because He Ao destroyed the contaminated World Tree organization and killed the puppeteer, Rose and others.
This directly resulted in Rhodes' original planned ritual being unable to be realized, so he had to settle for a less perfect ritual.
Some of the points originally arranged were abandoned.
He Ao discovered this problem when he inspected the scenes of these 'homicides' in the morning.
This also makes the ceremony arranged by Rhodes actually far more fragile than a normal ceremony.
But he ran out of time. As He Ao's investigation deepened and the opening time of the ruins passage approached, Rhodes also realized that if he delayed it any longer, he might be exposed, so he had to forcefully activate this imperfect system.
ceremony.
Therefore, he must kill He Ao, the only "insider" who poses a threat.
Because the power that He Ao is currently showing may really destroy his fragile ritual.
This reason also works for He Ao. He has been marked by the mysterious shadow. Once the mysterious shadow really comes, he will immediately become one of the mysterious shadow's many sacrifices.
The gods don't care about the lives of the ants, so the ants have to fight for their own lives.
He Ao turned the Shadowless Sword back in his hand, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, held the blade across his eyebrows, and made a gesture of accumulating strength.
The thunderous 'heartbeat' that accompanied the ceremony still echoed in his ears, becoming more and more powerful and powerful.
He Ao moved slowly and stared at Rhodes opposite.
Under the vision of spiritual consciousness, Rhodes' body only has one energy core, located at the position of his heart.
Theoretically, it seems that piercing his heart can kill him, but obviously, this matter may not be that simple.
Based on Rhodes' current ability, He'ao's strength is actually slightly inferior to Rhodes.
After all, this body is just a C-level body.
Although He Ao has maximized the power of the 'robber' talent sequence in his body through the killing just now, he is still only a C-level person.
He holds the peak Shadowless Sword, and with the peak gangster status, coupled with the blessing of Super Memory, he can barely reach a level similar to Rhodes.
However, although his strength is slightly weaker, in a battle where the two sides are extremely close in strength, it is not just strength that determines the outcome.
Rhodes held a long knife in his hand and stared at He Ao.
The two people looked at each other, and the next second, their figures disappeared at the same time.
This time the attacker was replaced by He Ao. He changed his moves and slashed at Rhodes with his sword, but was blocked by Rhodes's sword.
The swords collided together, and in the crisp collision sound, He Ao's attack was blocked by Rhodes, and Rhodes also took half a step back.
Immediately afterwards, Rhodes took a step forward and slashed vertically towards the face of He Ao, who had not yet stood firm. He Ao blocked it with his sword. With the force of the rebound of the blade, Rhodes immediately changed his moves and slashed horizontally at He Ao.
He turned sideways and was blocked by He Ao's returning sword again.
The blade of the sword collided with the blade.
The two raised their heads, looked at each other, and separated again.
However, this time the two of them did not completely separate. They each took half a step back, their swords resting together, their center of gravity pressed down, and they prepared a posture to accumulate strength.
The swords that were held together made a sizzling sound as they rubbed against each other.
He Ao suddenly exerted his strength, pushed away Rhodes' long knife, and stabbed Rhodes's heart sideways.
Rhodes also dodged sideways, pointing his sword away from the Shadowless Sword.
The phantoms of knives and swords collided in the air. After several confrontations, the two staggered their bodies, turned their backs to each other, and stood in the other's previous position.
Then He Ao immediately turned around and slashed at Rhodes.
Rhodes turned around and jumped back, dodging He Ao's attack and slashing He Ao's back with his knife.
boom--
He Ao blocked the blow with his sword behind his back, but the blade tilted forward still cut open his clothes and scratched his skin, and the red blood soaked the black long knife.
Under the impact of Rhodes' attack, he staggered, took a few steps forward, turned around, raised the Shadowless Sword, and looked at Rhodes.
Some invisible force penetrated his body along the black knife and was eroding his flesh and blood.
The originally transparent and clear glass curtain walls around it were now covered with fine cracks and turned into mottled white.
This was shattered by the aura that escaped during the battle between the two.
Although both of them have extremely strong power control, just the breath they release is enough to cause a devastating blow to these glass curtain walls.
Rhodes stood there and did not catch up. He raised the knife, glanced at the blood slowly falling along the black blade, and then looked at He Ao,
"I take back what I just said. Your body is indeed weak. If you are only this weak, it makes me think that the puppeteer is too stupid."
He raised the knife and took a step forward. The blade cut through the void, creating a harsh sonic boom.
boom--
The knife and the sword collided again.
Although his body was injured, the strength of He Ao's hands did not decrease at all. Because of the constant fighting, he had become more and more skilled at mobilizing energy in his body. At this time, he began to adjust the method of mobilizing energy according to the rules he had figured out.
In the blink of an eye, the swords collided several times again.
Rhodes' attack was very fierce, and within a few moves, he was close to He Ao's neck.
When the black long knife was blocked in front of the shoulder by the Shadowless Sword, huge energy gathered in He Ao's hands.
It's now!
He suddenly pushed away Rhodes' long knife, and the huge force that exceeded Rhodes's expectation made Rhodes lean back. In a very short time, his center of gravity became unstable. He spun around, trying to relieve the force.
And at this moment, He Ao pressed down, and the shadowless sword slashed through the void.
boom--
The glass curtain wall that was already full of cracks could no longer bear the breath of the two people and collapsed.
Zila——
Blood with a light green glow splashed onto the glass fragments that fell like raindrops.
Rhodes staggered two steps back and glanced down. A long, narrow wound with gushing blood attached to most of his right calf.
He Ao stood up and stood in the rain of glass fragments that reflected the light and fell like stars. He looked up at Rhodes and smiled.
He raised his fingertips and flicked the blade of the Shadowless Sword. With a slight buzzing sound, the blood on the sword was blown away, and the entire sword returned to its shadowless state.
"Are you ready?"
He raised his head and looked at Rhodes, who was steady.
"Ready."
Rhodes raised his long knife.
The cold wind outside blew against their cheeks.
Amidst the sound of crackling glass shards falling to the ground, the swords clashed again, and the ritual circle under their feet shone brightly.
Rhodes' calf injury was greatly affected. After several confrontations, He Ao once again mobilized his energy to the maximum, deflected Rhodes' long knife, and pierced Rhodes' heart with one sword.
Rhodes stiffened and froze on the spot.
He Ao pulled out the Shadowless Sword, staggered back a few steps, and stared at him quietly.
After all, this method of extreme mobilization of energy to temporarily increase strength was improvised by He Ao during the battle. It has great side effects and can cause serious damage to the body.
Blood spattered down Rhodes' chest. Rhodes stretched out his hand, pressed his chest, fell to his knees and looked at He Ao, "You are strong."
Then he showed a helpless smile, "Sure enough, human power has its limits."
A huge dark vortex appeared in the air behind him, and then, a ferocious and huge triangular head protruded from the vortex. It opened its mouth, stretched out its bright red tongue, and pulled Rhodes on the ground into its mouth.
.
"Hao Yi, your strength has earned my respect. You have one more chance to obey my Lord."
Rhodes' old voice emanated from the terrifying giant. Its figure continued to extend from the vortex, and its twisted and trembling murmurs echoed in He Ao's ears.
The feeling of falling into an abyss rose again in He Ao's heart.
This is the true form of Rhodes, the true form of a B-class transcendent subordinate to the gods.
The body of this monster seems to be a giant snake covered with pitch-black scales. It coils around the pointed tower in circles, and then raises its triangular head with web-like scales on both sides, condescending and indifferent.
Green vertical pupils stared at He Ao.
He Ao did not answer Rhodes, but raised the Shadowless Sword again.
He tried to sense the Velora, and with the appearance of Rhodes' body, the blockade of the surrounding space also disappeared.
This means that Rhodes gathered all his strength to deal with Ho O.
It also means that He Ao can use some other props.
What has just been blocked in this building is not only the space, but also the entry of other forces and lives. Rhodes has completely turned it into a closed ritual place. To directly destroy this ritual space from the outside, the price required is
very big.
And now, with Rhodes releasing this space by himself, He Ao can also use his power unimpeded.
In fact, He Ao had already expected that the human form of Rhodes just now was not his true body, because the human form of 'Rhodes' had only one energy core, which was different from the Rose and Puppeteer that He Ao had met before.
Only shadow life has only one energy core due to its special body structure, but obviously, the complete Rhodes does not need to worry about this problem.
He Ao raised his head and stared at this huge thing occupying the entire roof of the building.
Under the vision of his spiritual consciousness, he was a little dazzled by the dense energy core.
But the good news is that there will be obstacles between the movements of the giant snake in front of him, which proves that the damage He Ao left on the humanoid Rhodes will also affect Rhodes' body.
Obviously, after He Ao entered this building, Rhodes had a basic judgment on He Ao's strength. He felt that He Ao could be eliminated with the human form alone, so he used the power of his body to block the space to prevent He Ao from resorting to help.
The power of the Velora.
But it turned out that his judgment was slightly wrong.
The brilliance of the ritual circle at his feet was getting stronger and stronger, and there was not much time left for He Ao.
For Rhodes, no matter what method he uses, as long as the ceremony is completed normally, it is his victory.
And He Ao's goal is also to destroy this ritual circle.
So he did not attack the huge snake, but directly raised his sword and stabbed the ritual circle at his feet.
At this moment, he realized something and suddenly dodged to the side.
The flashing black light passed by He Ao's side, disappeared into the dark night sky, and directly penetrated another building not far away.
He Ao raised his head and looked at the snake head with its huge mouth open.
Immediately afterwards, a huge snake tail flew from behind and struck the direction where He Ao was standing.
He Ao jumped up and dodged the flying snake tail, but at the same time, the wound on his back was even more torn due to this violent movement, and blood spattered out.
Severe pain struck He Ao's mind.
At this moment, the open snake head had locked onto He Ao in the air, and black light gathered in its mouth.
Woo——
The roaring whistle opened up the space, and the speeding Velora rushed out of the void. He Ao stretched out his hand to grab the door of the Velora, his arm muscles bulged, and with a sudden force, he threw himself into the speeding car.
train.
The next second, black light came one after another, hitting the Velora's contemporary-looking body.
The surrounding space squirmed violently, and the entire train trembled due to this powerful attack.
But the attack did not continue to fall on the Velora. Soon, the train entered the void, and the black light passed through the night sky again, opening another hole in the building behind it.
"Troublesome stuff."
The giant snake opened its huge mouth and looked around.
This is why he wants to use his body to form a special ritual venue with the help of the power of gods and seal off the surrounding space. Extraordinary space objects like the Velora are too maneuverable. Once released, he will almost be unable to complete his purpose of killing He Ao.
But as He'ao's power has shown, his strategic goal has changed, from killing He'ao once and for all to protecting the normal progress of the ceremony. As long as the gods come, all problems will not be a problem.
And as the Velora entered the space, the surroundings fell into strange silence again.
The giant snake looked around, but could not find any trace of the Velora.
It looked as if He Ao had given up the attack and escaped.
But just when the giant snake was relaxed, the ancient train appeared behind the giant snake's head. He Ao's figure jumped directly onto the giant snake's head and pierced its skull with a sword.
As the energy core under the skull collapsed, the giant snake roared violently. It shook its head vigorously, trying to throw He Ao off.
At this moment, the Velora in the sky has not disappeared.
Landslide and tsunami!
Select the target, ritual circle!
The howling wind blew past He Ao's ears, and the trembling of the earth echoed throughout the world.
Later, please give me a ticket at the beginning of the month.
