Strangler just turned slightly sideways, allowing the arrow to miss his back and hit his right shoulder.
——Blood flows in and out.
The impact of the arrow caused his body to stumble forward slightly.
But Strangler's clenched left hand still didn't loosen, and he didn't even look back.
He just held the man's head and pulled him up from the ground.
Just like the principle of the gallows, a person's own weight is enough to break his neck - but that requires a period of downward dragging or a sudden fall. Fortunately, the hanging is not intended to kill him here.
After Strangler picked up the man, he held his face and slammed the back of his head against the thick wooden pole on the deck!
Once, twice, three times!
The impact was merciless. On the second impact, tiny traces of blood could be seen on the wooden pole.
After three blows, the splattered blood left obvious marks on the wooden pole.
Only then did Strangler release the man, leaving him unconscious and falling to the ground.
——Based on the strength of the opponent's body, a blow of this magnitude would probably not kill him. Probably.
Before he ate the second police arrow, he opened his bloody left hand and pointed his palm at the man who had attacked him before and was hiding in the river.
The golden flame gathered in the palm of his hand again and condensed into a small ball.
At this time, the opponent's second arrow was also ready.
But seeing this scene, he was so frightened that he almost died.
He even gave up shooting at Strangler and instead swung his fish tail in an attempt to escape.
Fortunately, he has a strong fish tail.
With just a slight swing, you can instantly jump several meters into the water.
But in an instant, the golden stream of light that simulated an arrow made a bend and shot forward——
It nailed the man hard in the back of his heart.
That was the exact spot he originally targeted for strangulation!
The man's spine was punctured and broken, and the broken spine was inserted into his lungs and penetrated all the way to his chest.
After the light arrow completed its revenge, it suddenly shattered and became invisible.
But precisely because of this, blood poured out from the wound. The originally clean river water was slowly dyed red with blood.
Hangsha stood there and closed his eyes, sensing for a while.
Although his spiritual relative is a lion, he has not inherited the lion's night vision. Strangler cannot see clearly what is going on under the river in the middle of the night, but he can hear the sound of water flowing and sense other people's murderous intentions towards him.
He no longer sensed any danger or hostility. This meant that this wave of enemies had indeed been cleared away by him.
"Five people?"
Strangler sneered: "There are quite a few people, but they are all trash."
It's just that his right arm looks like it's crippled.
It's such a pity that my arm was broken by a bunch of trash.
If I still had the power I had before
No
If he still had the "Fire of the Furnace", even if the number of these people doubled, they wouldn't be able to hurt him at all.
But in that case, Xiaoya would be shot to death in front of him.
Even if he can turn his body into disembodied fire at any time, even if he can ignore the law of gravity and fly at high speed in the form of flames in the air.
But he was unable to detect danger in advance, nor could he create a lightless shield to resist attacks.
Not to mention one shot. Even ten shots or a hundred shots wouldn't hurt him in the slightest.
The most advanced sniper missiles will only pass through his body. Unless a heavily armed mechanized missile is directly used and the target is hit head-on, even an armor-piercing bullet will not be as deadly to him as a liquid nitrogen injector.
But that also means that he can't intercept the opponent's attack, he can only avoid it.
He can only protect himself.
——But now it’s different.
Although because he was too high-profile, no one sneaked around to attack Xiaoya. The lightless shield he created was useless in the end. But it was good not to use it.
After all, even if he strangles himself, he doesn't know how strong he can withstand the attack now.
When he intercepted the bullet with a simple lightless shield, the feedback force had already numbed Strangler's left hand.
This is a new spell system built by Strangler based on "greed", "arrogance" and "revenge".
This is a new ability unique to today's strangulation.
A lightless shield that can absorb the surrounding "light" to continuously recover - what it needs is not the light of nature, but the light in people's hearts.
It will continuously extract any form of positive emotions from the protected person and turn them into a shield against attacks. When attacked, it will not directly block the attack, but will have part of its emotions drained to offset the damage.
With his strangulating personality, his Aluminous Shield may not be able to hold up for a few times. Therefore, he needs to avoid some damage.
The method he chose was to be driven by the emotion of "arrogance" and sense the surrounding "regicides" like a radar, pointing directly at his own area of murderous intent, called "King's Aura".
The moment he himself is about to suffer a fatal injury, his sense of time will slow down; the more fatal the attack, the slower time will become. Only attacks that are not clearly directed at him will be avoided by this sense.
For example, the shot aimed at Xiaoya at the beginning.
Because that shot was not directly aimed at Strangler, it was just possible that it penetrated Xiaoya's body and then hit Strangler. Therefore, Strangler did not capture this attack. He relied on real "inspiration" to pull Xiaoya
escaped this attack.
After he lost the "furnace fire" that can burn all materials in the real world, Strangler, who can't use firearms, also lost a powerful attack surface. Therefore, he chose to defend and counterattack.
The basic principle of all spells is that the more inclined a spell is to roughly change "others" and the "outside world", the higher the emotional concentration required and the greater the difficulty. In other words, offense and treatment are far inferior to defense and blessing oneself.
The magic is cost-effective.
If you want to take shape again as quickly as possible, you need to build a new system around defensive strategies.
Strangler chose "Revenge" which is close to the "Rage" field.
After he actually withstood the attack from others, he could return the attack intact with only "desire for revenge" and a small amount of "anger" as motivation.
Regardless of whether the attack deviated from the opponent's original target, or the damage was reduced through shields, armor, etc., "Fire of Vengeance" will only execute revenge based on the opponent's "motive". Just like the opponent's murder.
If it is avoided or resolved by me, it is still a murder.
The Aphotic Shield absorbs all positive emotions, which will not weaken the "King's Aura" and "Fire of Vengeance"; and although his previous anger has been completely transformed, his experience in mastering the fire of the furnace also makes him unable to
Will be swallowed up by the ever-expanding desire for revenge and lose control.
The spell system built around "Aphotic Shield" and "Vengeance Fire" was that Strangler did not ask the barber or his mentor.
It is different from the ignorant state when I first became a mage.
Because this is only when the world view is mature and fixed, and after you have enough experience as a mage, you can abandon everything you once had and start over, and you can choose the best path for yourself from the beginning.
This is his own path constructed solely based on his own understanding of magic.
Not the heir to someone else's path.
It's the path you take on your own.
Use courage and wisdom to open up unknown areas, determine the direction of progress by reflecting the wild desire in the heart, use rationality to make choices and recasts, and finally weave and plan a path that belongs only to you. In the end, what it reflects is that everyone
The essence of personality deep within an individual.
most
It will eventually become something that does not depend on the approval of the devil. What everyone can possess is just their own spiritual power.
This may be the essence of "magic".
This was his first actual battle after regaining his strength.
Perhaps it was because he had to give more than half of the Aluminous Shield that originally protected him to Xiaoya, so he was not very satisfied with the actual combat effect of this new system.
After returning to the cabin, looking at Xiaoya who was really motionless, lying upright with her eyes closed like a dead fish, Hangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
While he withdrew the Aphotic Shield, he subconsciously taunted in a low voice: "You really didn't move. You are such a good baby. Do you trust me so much?"
"Because Mr. Strangler said so."
Xiaoya felt a little aggrieved.
After hearing this, Hangsha was silent for a moment.
He said nonchalantly: "That's why you won't be killed by them. It's right to obey."
Although he was full of ridicule and disdain for those weak amateurs in his heart, Zhuozu was very reluctant to exaggerate their danger - as if if Xiaoya didn't listen to him and hide, something would really happen.
Just because he didn't want Xiaoya to think that trusting him would be the wrong choice.
