The thief suddenly increased his speed, approaching Zhao Xi in the blink of an eye. The dagger held behind his back in his right hand brought out a gleam of cold light, and swiftly slashed towards his throat.
Zhao Xi immediately took half a step back and tilted his head back slightly, barely avoiding his opponent's fatal surprise attack.
But the dagger in the thief's right hand was just a prelude to the attack. The moment Zhao Xi retreated, the second dagger he was holding in his left hand suddenly lifted up like a poisonous snake pouncing on its prey, and stabbed him hard in the chest!
The two attacks before and after were not only extremely fast, but also the rhythm of the attacks was as smooth and coherent as flowing clouds. There was a certain rhythmic beauty in the fierce murderous intent, which made people's breathing stop.
If it were other people, faced with such a clear-cut, fast and fierce close combat, the most they could do would be to retreat and dodge, and they would never dare to take the lead lightly.
It's just that Zhao Xi is not an ordinary person. Before the thief's left hand dagger stabs him, he swings up the dagger held in his right hand and accurately blocks the opponent's weapon!
Clang!
The collision between the dagger blade and the dagger edge made a crisp sound.
Zhao Xi suddenly raised his left arm, and pierced the air with the dagger in his left hand to stab the thief's eyes, which were as bright as stars, without the slightest pity.
Fight back!
This time it was the thieves' turn to retreat.
But as soon as she took half a step back, Zhao Xi's right dagger entangled itself like a maggot attached to the bone and slashed towards her chest.
The thief hurriedly waved his dagger to parry, but she did not expect that Zhao Xi's attack was completely a feint.
The dagger he had just drawn was retracted in an instant. Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent failed to block, Zhao Xi moved to block her right side, and the dagger in his left hand moved accordingly.
The next second, the cold dagger silently pressed against the delicate jade neck of the female thief!
All the female thief's defenses were instantly shattered, and the dagger she had just raised dropped powerlessly, acknowledging her failure.
"Why, I'm obviously faster than you?"
With strong confusion, she turned to look at Zhao Xi who was very close at hand: "Or did you catch me first?"
Zhao Xi put down the dagger. He took a step back without leaving a trace and distanced himself. He said, "That's because the opponents you met before were not strong enough. Although you have combat experience, you have not yet mastered the ability to control at a higher level."
Fighting Rhythm Techniques.”
This female thief is of course Tao Zhiyaoyao. Zhao Xi once owed her a favor and promised to teach her the skills of using a two-handed dagger in close combat.
Although the favor has been repaid long ago, Zhao Xi has no intention of going back on his word.
Because he admires the other party's seriousness and tireless pursuit of improving combat abilities.
In this regard, Zhao Xi has the same characteristics as her.
Tao Zhiyaoyao nodded thoughtfully, looking at Zhao Xi with increasingly hot eyes: "Teach me!"
Her enthusiasm has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, it is entirely the joy and eagerness of her heart.
Zhao Xi smiled and raised the dagger again, pointing directly at her vital parts!
The other person reminded him of those comrades who were equally eager to ask for advice when he was in the army.
In this small competitive arena, Zhao Xi accompanied Tao Zhiyaoyao to practice for a whole afternoon, until the opponent initially mastered the most essential skills of using the double dagger technique.
Tao Zhiyaoyao's talent is extremely high, and her understanding is even more outstanding. She can remember many detailed skills with just a few hints or exercises from Zhao Xi.
Later, Tao Zhiyaoyao was actually able to face off against Zhao Xi for dozens of rounds without losing!
The last battle practice ended. He couldn't help but admired: "You have almost learned it. What you lack is actual combat practice. I have nothing more to teach you."
In the game, the dagger is the most important weapon for thieves, and the double dagger skill is also the most suitable for thieves to use.
As time goes by, he will not be Tao Zhiyaoyao's opponent in this aspect.
"Thank you!" Tao Zhiyaoyao thanked her sincerely.
She hesitated and asked: "With your ability, why do you want to be a professional gamer?"
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "I support my family. Apart from fighting, I don't know anything else."
Tao Zhiyaoyao was still puzzled: "You retired from the army, right? Haven't you found a suitable job yet?"
Zhao Xi understood what she meant and explained: "I retired with punishment."
"oh..."
Tao Zhiyaoyao was a little embarrassed. She was actually not very good at communicating with others, so she quickly changed the subject: "It's not bad to be a professional player. You should train as a thief. The Paladin is not suitable for your performance!"
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "I don't like thieves."
Seeing the look in the other person's eyes, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing: "Oh, it's not that I don't like you."
It seems even more wrong!
Tao Zhiyaoyao blushed and quickly changed the topic: "I know that the Paladin profession is very dependent on system skills. You are better at training as a warrior than the Paladin."
Zhao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I didn't play it at first, and then there was a Paladin missing from the team, so I kept practicing in a daze. The game has rules, and it's good to use the system skills once you are familiar with it."
In fact, Zhao Xi is now becoming more and more proficient in using system skills, especially secret techniques, in battle, but he will not give up the most basic things.
Tao Zhiyaoyao nodded: "That's true, but I don't really like leveling and completing quests. It's more interesting to play against others in the arena."
In "Glory", there are quite a few players like her, and even many professional players hang out in the arena, focusing on fighting in the arena to improve their performance. A large number of professional star players have emerged, and they are thriving.
But Zhao Xi could see that Tao Zhiyaoyao just liked her and didn't care about fame or fortune.
Such girls are really rare. He smiled and said: "You are extremely talented in this area, and you are fully qualified to learn from our Zhao family... eh!"
The following words were immediately swallowed by Zhao Xi.
However, this aroused Tao Zhiyaoyao's great curiosity: "What can I learn from your Zhao family?"
Zhao Xi quickly shook his head: "Nothing, nothing."
There is no doubt that Tao Zhi Yaoyao's talent is strong. It can even be said that she is not inferior to him. She is fully qualified and capable to learn and master the martial arts passed down from generation to generation in the Zhao family.
In fact, many of Zhao Xi's double dagger combat skills evolved from the Zhao family's martial arts. He combined the dagger fighting skills in the military with a strong color of the Zhao family's inherited skills.
It's just that the Zhao family's martial arts has always been passed down from male to female, and from daughter-in-law to daughter-in-law. In addition, the requirements for qualifications are extremely high, so today only Zhao Xi is the only one left.
Even so, if Zhao Xi dares to spread the true martial arts skills of the Zhao family, he will be beaten to death by his grandfather.
He just slipped up for a moment, and secretly regretted it in his heart.
This girl seems to be a martial arts fanatic and a troublesome person, and modern social martial arts is of little use. No matter how good the martial arts is, she can be killed with one shot. Zhao Xi does not want to cause trouble for herself.
Tao Zhiyaoyao looked at him with suspicious eyes and snorted softly.
She rolled her eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face: "Thank you for teaching me so many things. Are you in Shanghai now? I'll treat you to a meal!"
No matter how Zhao Xi looked at it, there was a hint of ill-intention in her smile, without the original coldness and reserve, and she suddenly felt a strong sense of vigilance in her heart.
Without some purpose, there would never have been such a huge change.
"No need, now we don't owe each other anything, we will be together forever!"
Zhao Xi said something quickly and then exited the competitive arena.
This arena was built by Zhao Xi himself. As soon as he exited, Tao Zhiyaoyao was immediately bounced back to the auditorium in the arena area.
Tao Zhiyaoyao was stunned immediately.
She rarely took the initiative to invite others to dinner, and it was even more unprecedented for her to invite men of her generation. Unexpectedly, she was ruthlessly rejected the first time she opened her mouth, and the other party actually ran away.
What made her even more embarrassed and annoyed was that Zhao Xi's expression looked like he had seen a ghost, running faster than a rabbit, as if he didn't want to deal with her in reality at all.
This made Tao Zhiyaoyao, who was actually very proud at heart, feel strongly unhappy with someone!
She didn't even realize that her state of mind at this moment was completely different from usual.
