Raymond had never thought that the same sword skill would have completely different effects if used by two people.
In the game, for the same skill, there may be slight differences in the special effects released due to different skill levels, but this will definitely not give people the sensory illusion that lv1 and lv10 are two different skills.
But now, the blind old man immediately overturned his understanding.
"Borrow the sword and use it."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Raymond felt the sword sheath on his waist light up.
The figure passed by, the breeze blew on his face, and then a flash of lightning flashed in his field of vision, blinding people's eyes.
"Mysterious Thunder Snake!"
The same trick.
When Raymond saw this familiar lightning flash, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"It's not that exaggerated..."
When Gibbon used this move before, Raymond sighed in his heart, "Awesome". But when this blind old man used it, the only word that shocked him was "Fuck".
It was not that he had never seen the full-level effect of this move in the game, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as the one before him.
The sword struck by Gibbon before, the lightning was two fingers wide and could be seen.
But when the blind old man thrust out his sword, it was like thunder rising from the ground... His whole body turned into a torrent of thunder and lightning as big as the mouth of a water tank, pulling the sharp sword energy and passing through all the targets in a straight line.
Everyone felt that a dazzling lightning flashed in front of their eyes for a moment, and when they focused their eyes again, wherever the lightning struck, the solid stone was cracked, as if it had been crushed into powder by a huge force.
Raymond was so good at seeing that he could only see a shadow flashing past.
When he came back to his senses, the blind old man had already stopped firmly among the four people, the wind was light and the clouds were calm.
Holding Mihu in his back hand, he slowly stood up straight. The aura of a powerful man who was so domineering a moment ago was completely restrained, and in the blink of an eye he turned into the inconspicuous old man again.
The expressions of the four people next to the old man were frozen there, as if someone had tapped their acupoints, and their hands even maintained an offensive posture to draw out their weapons.
Udyr was still angry. He looked down at his chest, his eyes flashing with disbelief. Blood was slowly overflowing from the petrified armor. It was obvious that the indestructible armor had been penetrated by a sharp weapon. It condensed on the skin.
The stone layer is also falling in large chunks due to the loss of true energy control.
He couldn't figure it out,
Why was my petrified body, which could withstand artillery fire, penetrated by a broken sword?
...
Seeing the burly petrified giant collapse,
Raymond frowned for a moment, showing a trace of confusion.
"In the game, light swords are at a great disadvantage against heavy-cutting armor-level extraordinary beings, and a junior light sword like Mihu is not very capable of breaking armor. If I were to cut it... I guess that Udyr would stand still.
There is nothing we can do against him."
As for the sword skill the old man used just now, there were many mysterious techniques, and there were too many details that he didn't understand.
In addition to sword energy, there must be something else mixed in the lightning.
This is completely different from the setting in the game.
This sword has some kind of special damage blessing beyond the attributes of the equipment...
Like "some kind of sword intent".
...
"So...so awesome..."
"Oh my God, a blind slave can actually use a sword, and he is such a powerful swordsman... I am afraid that the original head of the family has never reached this level."
"The head of the family has personally taught me swordsmanship. I am sure that the power of the 'Thunder Snake' he uses is roughly equivalent to that of Uncle Ji En, and will never reach this level."
"Senior Blind Slave's sword move just now was so powerful that he may have entered the realm of a 'swordsman'."
"..."
The strong will be respected. This is a general rule in the world of great navigation where strength is respected.
After the blind old man killed five top masters by himself, everyone looked at him differently.
No one dared to show any contempt anymore, their eyes were filled with awe.
As the chief of public security, Barton felt obliged to thank this strong man, so he said to the blind old man: "Thank you for your help!"
The elders of the parliament had their eyes twitching, and they began to think of winning over this super master.
But before they had time to speak, the blind old man seemed to be indifferent to all the reputation and praise, and slowly walked towards Raymond.
At this time,
"Hey... there's another one!"
The blind old man was about to return Mihu, but suddenly his cochlea moved slightly, as if he sensed something.
A look of solemnity flashed across his face. This man was more powerful than the five just now! He did not hesitate at all, and tentatively drew his sword in the direction of the ruins.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a crescent-shaped sword energy shot out of the air and quickly slashed towards the man squatting on the ruins!
"No, he wants to kill Mara!"
Someone also discovered the intention of the man in the black cloak, but it was too late to shout.
That man simply came here specifically to kill Mara and silence her. Before he finished speaking, he had succeeded. No one noticed when this man appeared there.
In the blink of an eye, the sword energy has arrived.
"This old blind man's senses are very sensitive..."
The cloaked man seemed to be on guard and easily avoided the sword energy.
"Whoa!"
The sword energy passed by the man's side, and the dust dispersed with the wind.
Like an invisible thread cutting away, where the sword energy passed, the remaining buildings on the ruins were cut in half in the blink of an eye, and the cut surfaces were smooth.
"What a sharp sword spirit!"
The cloaked man's eyes flashed slightly, showing no intention of fighting at all. He jumped on the ground and prepared to escape.
"Want to run? Huh..."
The blind old man didn't hesitate at all, he also kicked the ground and rushed forward, and ejected like a cannonball.
"Bang!"
The ground was trampled with huge force, stone debris exploded, and then a muffled sound was heard.
Between the lightning and flint,
The blind old man teleported a hundred feet in the blink of an eye, and directly collided with the cloaked man who was about to escape.
"cut!"
He didn't hold back at all, he just drew his sword and slashed horizontally, easily cutting the cloaked man's body in half!
Got it done!
I didn't expect it to be so easy...
There was a hint of joy in everyone's eyes, but it instantly turned into shock.
wrong!
A strange scene appeared!
Everyone did not see the scene of blood flying everywhere, but they saw that the old man's knife seemed to cut off a pool of yellow-green snot, and in the blink of an eye, the two body parts were glued together again.
Although the blind old man couldn't see what was going on, he clearly felt something was wrong with the cutting touch in his hand. It was as if the blade didn't cut anything at all and just slid through the air easily.
No, this smell is weird!
Slightly burning nose, like some kind of corrosive acid.
His nostrils opened slightly, obviously aware of something. Although this guy hid his aura very well, he also accidentally let out a very strange aura the moment he was slashed.
"Those who can?"
The blind old man's expression changed slightly and he snorted coldly.
The cloaked man received this sword, and had no intention of fighting at all. He took advantage of the situation and kicked on the back of the sword. Not only did he scare away the blind old man, but he also jumped several feet and used the force to move towards the distance.
Run away.
"He wants to escape!"
Even though everyone knew that the cloaked man was trying to escape, they were helpless. The man was so fast that they couldn't catch up even if they wanted to.
At this time,
They watched the blind old man take action again!
The old man had just been kicked violently. As soon as he landed, he held swords in both hands and suddenly spun around rapidly, forming a cylindrical storm.
For a moment, sand and rocks flew all around the ruins, making people's eyes full of broken sand and unable to open their eyes.
The howling wind whined, and it sounded faintly like the cries of hungry ghosts coming from the silent night.
The sound makes one's scalp numb and the hairs on the hair stand on end.
"Could it be...that trick?"
The descendants of Sodros obviously recognized the origin of this sword move, and all of them looked shocked.
But...
Even with that secret move, how could the movement be so loud?
"Mysterious meaning: Night ghosts cry!"
Raymond's pupils shrank, and he naturally recognized this move.
A very famous group attack arcana skill in "Twelve Scenes of Hell". The sword holder flies around with the sword at high speed, like a flying wheel, causing intensive cutting damage to targets along the way.
The next moment,
The blind old man moved!
This sword light storm turned into a "Poison Dragon Diamond" and rose up from the ground, leaping through the air and leaping dozens of feet in the blink of an eye.
The sword energy became more and more stirred, and finally formed a super strong swirling storm with a diameter of several meters.
Before the fleeing cloaked man had time to escape, the storm had arrived... The violent sword energy instantly strangled his body and the cloak into pieces.
No...no blood.
That guy is not dead yet!
The same move that was destined to win failed.
There was also no sight of flesh and blood flying everywhere. The man turned into a ball of yellow-green corrosive smoke the moment he was hit by the storm sword energy.
After the strong wind passed by, the disgust also dissipated without a trace.
"This is... a devil fruit user?"
Raymond watched helplessly as the cloaked man used this strange method to resolve the blind old man's fatal secret twice.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have died long ago and would not be able to die again.
But now, that guy has obviously successfully escaped!
Obviously, he is using the "elementalization" ability of the natural devil fruit.
"The cloak on that person just now is obviously the same style as the 'Shadow Cloak' in my backpack. Could it be that he is also from the Navy or CP9? A Devil Fruit user... is probably a high-ranking official."
Raymond looked at the direction where the yellow mist dispersed, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
He felt that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated. The fruit looked familiar, could atomize the body, and had a corrosive smell...it seemed to be the legendary "sour fruit."
"That's not right... I have never heard of a person with this kind of ability appearing in the Black Sea in the game. Could it be that he airborne from the Endless Sea?"
Raymond didn't want to think deeply about these things. He looked somewhere in the ruins and suddenly a bold idea flashed through his mind.
The thought had arisen and he could no longer hold it in.
Now that the crisis was over, he didn't have any scruples and moved to the ruins by accident.
[Ding! Unknown dead souls are found. Do you want to use ‘dead soul stripping’? 】
【yes!】
[Ding! You peeled off a piece of information from the soul species of 'Jack', 'That must be the most beautiful painting I have ever painted'...]
[Ding! You peeled off a piece of information from the revenant species of 'Ruth', 'That kid seems to be more interested in the heart of the ocean than my body'...]
【...】
A lot of people died in the battle just now. Raymond peeled off the soul several times, but couldn't find the soul he wanted. On the contrary, because of excessive use of skills, he felt hollowed out and was in a trance.
Sudden,
[Ding! You stripped a piece of information from the revenant species of 'Marla Christine', 'I hid the sword in the place where I once saw hell'...]
"We found the right one!"
Raymond looked at the system prompts and felt happy.
He had previously discovered that this useless "soul stripping" skill seemed to have no great use except for stripping away "god's power".
But after trying many times, he also discovered a pattern.
Although this lv1 skill cannot temporarily reveal some useful information, there is a very high probability that it will reveal the last obsession of the deceased when he was dying.
The cloaked man killed Mara just now, obviously because he didn't want her to leak Aphra's last words.
Such a selfish woman may always miss those "last words"!
Obviously, when he saw the system prompt, Raymond felt that he had received a piece of valuable information.
"This sentence... seems like someone told me a place to hide the sword..."
Raymond muttered in his mind.
The Sodros family is a family of swordsmen and has numerous famous swords in their collection. But it is worth mentioning that Mara still remembers it for a while. That sword is definitely not an ordinary famous weapon like the "Frost Flower".
"Where you saw hell?"
As soon as Raymond heard the word hell, he immediately thought of Soderos' famous stunt "Twelve Scenes of Hell".
Legend has it that Sodros opened the door to hell with his own hands and saw the tragic scenery of hell, and then he realized the peerless swordsmanship of the "Twelve Scenes of Hell".
Sudden,
An incredible idea came to his mind,
Could this "last words" be entrusted by Soderos himself?
Thinking of the state in which Mara mentioned these last words before, I am afraid that I really guessed it right.
"Could it be the 'magic sword' that possessed Sodros?"
Thinking of this, his pupils trembled slightly and he couldn't believe it.
But this seems to be the only way,
Only then can we explain why Mara would take such a big risk to monopolize the news.
It is said that this magic sword is indispensable for Sodros to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. If you get this sword, you may have the opportunity to become the next great swordsman to become famous all over the world and create a sect...
This news is definitely a strong temptation for anyone!
"If it's really Sodrosto...then I seem to know a few clues about where he saw hell..."
At this moment, Raymond felt as if he had a five million lottery ticket in his hand. He could become rich overnight just by going to the prize redemption center.
In the previous life, players in the game had thoroughly unearthed clues about Soderos' inheritance in the Black Sea. Although Raymond is not sure where the "hell" in his last words was exactly, it should not be difficult to find clues as long as he tries one by one.
Thinking that this news was related to a super weapon that was at least epic equipment, Raymond couldn't help but feel excited.
But at this moment,
Suddenly the scabbard on his waist sank, and when he lowered his head, he saw that Mihu had already sheathed it.
"follow me."
The blind old man said lightly.
He ignored everyone and walked straight towards the neighborhood outside the ruins.
Lei Ming knew that what he said was to himself, so he calmed down his thoughts and followed him in a hurry.
...
At the same time, in a dark corner a few blocks away.
"A swordsman with a mastery of swordsmanship... I didn't expect that there are masters of this level hidden among Sodros's group. There was no news at all in the previous intelligence..."
Meyer wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing his pale and delicate face.
That last sword strike just now, even if he escaped with the Devil Fruit's ability to atomize his body, he was seriously injured by the sword intention.
"When the Blood Skeleton besieged the 'Sword Castle', I'm afraid it was only because the old blind man didn't take action that he succeeded. Otherwise, with such a master of 'Sword Intent', even if the Blood Skeleton could win, he would have to pay a huge price. Eh. ...The gap between levels is still very obvious. It seems that we must advance to Sequence 6 as soon as possible..."
Poisoning Aphra was a plan that Meyer had arranged before, and it just happened to happen last night.
The tryst location chosen by Dunn's team of adulterers was a mixed-class apartment area in the 15th arrondissement. It was a gathering area for lower-class nobles and it was not easy to meet acquaintances.
It was only because Aphra ran there alone in a place where she could easily be assassinated that she gave the poison warlock Loki the opportunity to take action. Originally, after Aphra confessed her last words, Mara, her aunt, should die with her.
But Meyer thought at the time that if he killed one more person, the motive would be obvious.
He simply took advantage of the trick and spared her life, hoping to see a good show.
He thought that even if the descendants of Sodros revealed the news, they would never let it out. When the situation calmed down, he could just find an opportunity to silence all the people of Sodros.
But I didn’t expect that,
Didn’t see the good show,
Such a troublesome blind old man appeared halfway,
It almost ruined his plan.
"That's fine. Although it's a small loss, at least we know that there is such a strong swordsman hiding in Philip Territory."
When Meyer thought of this, his eyes returned to calmness.
He arranged his clothes and blended into the crowd on the street with a normal expression.
