Chapter 3 Fight after five years

"I want to know how my former partner Guy Bannings died."

After hearing Arios' question, Ling felt a little strange and asked him,

"Why do you ask me about this kind of thing?"

"I know from Grimwood Law Firm that for a period of time last year you worked very hard to investigate the cause of Guy's death. But then you came to a certain conclusion and then gave up. You all

The Snake has unfathomable sources of intelligence, and I want to know what you discovered."

The guys in the firm are not too tight-lipped. Lawyer Ian is not a person who talks too much. So it seems that it is probably the kid named Pete that he took in... I need to warn him next time to make him tighten his tone.

That's right, don't talk nonsense to everyone.

"Then let me tell you, the cause of death of Guy Bannings was that he died in the line of duty while executing the case."

"That's impossible! What's the difference between your reason and the official statement from the police station? That's not what I want to know."

"To be more specific, I met a cunning criminal and died together with him. It shouldn't be difficult for you to check the relevant files and case records. Didn't the bearded lawyer tell you?"

The two talked for a few more words, but basically Arios kept asking questions, while Ling had nothing to say except adding some details.

When the two were partners in the past, Guy's back was guarded by Arios, so although he was not the type with high combat effectiveness, he was able to save the day from danger time and time again. However, in 1199,

Arios resigned from his position as a police officer and became a guerrilla. Guy, who lacked rear protection, encountered a crisis before he had time to adapt to this change.

Because he left the police station, Guy's danger index increased. From his words, Ling could somewhat sense this meaning.

"I don't think this has anything to do with you. Don't take everything on yourself?" It's too tiring to live a life where everything is your own responsibility.

Ling said this, but Arios on the other side seemed a little angry after hearing what she said.

"My partner Guy, he is not someone who gets cornered so easily."

"No, it's really a very common way of death. There are more investigators who have died in dangerous incidents in the police station than one. Just like someone who is walking on the road in compliance with the law will be suddenly driven over.

Just like the man who was killed by a tractor-trailer, Guy was a front-line policeman who fought against evil forces. Since he was engaged in such a high-risk industry, it was such an ordinary and ordinary reality that he died due to an misfortune during a certain mission.

"

"Do not joke!"

Feng Jian was still unwilling to believe Ling's words. On the contrary, he began to think that Ling was deliberately hiding something from him, and his intuition was not entirely wrong. Although Guy's death had nothing to do with Ling, it had nothing to do with Guy.

The people involved in his death were not unrelated to Ling.

"That's all I can tell you. Okay, how about we solve the problem the way warriors do? As long as you can beat me, I will tell you the parts I didn't plan to tell you."

"Are you serious?"

"It's very unlikely that you'll refuse, right?"

Arios took a deep breath to calm down his agitated emotions, and then pulled out the sword from his waist.

"Then according to what you said, let's solve it the way warriors do. If I win against you, please tell me the truth."

"No problem, no problem. I can tell you not only the truth, but also the truth behind the truth. The premise is that you win my word."

Seeing Arios pull out his sword, Ling reached out and held a long and narrow sword in her right hand.

"This is not the usual weapon you used in the past. Are you planning to deliberately disclose information to me?"

"Ah, I didn't mean that. It's just that my main weapon encountered a little trouble and was not suitable for use in sparring, so I took out the spare. Although it is a spare, don't underestimate it, Luigius the Sword

(Brilliant Sword), this weapon is also made of Samlian stone. It will not lose to the sharp sword Hayabusa in your hand." The blade is 80cm long, and it is sharpened on both sides. The width of the sword is about 2cm, and the weight

It's not even 1 krim. Compared with the giant horse-cutting sword Alondette, which weighs more than Ling's own weight, Lucius's weight is almost negligible to Ling.

Ling did a sword show with her rapier, which was considered as her warm-up.

"Let me think about it, the last time we played against each other was five years ago, right? I was indeed not as good as you five years ago, but it's a different story now. I'm better than you were two years ago.

The Reinhardt who fought against you was even stronger."

"Are you talking about the Sword Emperor... But thanks to your help, I will never lose now."

Waves of sword energy rolled up around Arios, and accompanied by faint cries, the image of a four-winged black bird appeared faintly in the sky above him.

"Huh? The cure of your daughter's eyes has had such a big impact on you. Compared with that time, your cultivation level has indeed improved to a higher level. According to the division of the East Samlian continent, you have reached

You are so perfect."

In Ling's impression, the only people who have reached this level of cultivation are Walut and Jin in the Taidou style, as well as a few elders whom she met at Zongshan, and those who also practice the Dragon God Technique.

Zhong, Wuxiang, Lin and Ling themselves are still a little short of heat.

"I must thank you. I will never forget the kindness of Xiaodi regaining his sight. But one code is another code, these are two different things. Now, do you still plan to fight with me?"

Arios pointed his sword at the girl, but the corners of the girl's mouth slightly raised.

"It would be boring otherwise."

The lavender halo flashed away, as if a layer of purple paint had been added to the girl's white shirt.

Sword energy action prediction? It's okay to use that kind of thing when practicing swordsmanship. Ling doesn't plan to spend that effort in a real battle. The battle situation is changing rapidly, and redundant thinking is a waste of time. It's better to predict the enemy first.

It didn't matter if she did it first. Although she didn't know how to do it, she had no intention of using those tricks in actual combat.

The two sides did not engage in a confrontation, just like the first time they fought five years ago. Following the thin sound of breaking through the air, it was Ling's side who launched the attack first.

In an instant, he crossed dozens of moments, and Ling appeared again and was in front of Arios.

"Shuchichi!?"

With his mind spinning, Arios moved half of his body to the side in alternating steps, then raised his wrist in an attempt to parry the opponent's straight sword blade.

"Your sword skills are too simple..."

Before Arios could finish speaking, he swallowed the second half of his sentence before the swords clashed.

What kind of strange power is this? It is more like a hammer than a thin sword. Arios immediately used his arm as a ruler to spread the force. After being ejected, his shoes stepped on the ground the moment his body hit the ground and he was dragged backwards.

It left two deep marks on the ground.

"It seems that the one who underestimates me is Mr. Arios. I have become stronger, and you have become stronger, but I have become stronger. I have told you beforehand that I am stronger than you.

Strong."

"Huh..." After calming down the internal shock, Arios wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand.

At this time, Ling did not pursue the victory, but explained what had just happened.

"Just now, Shuchi was not a master-style figure, he was just an 'ordinary' one who walked in front of you. For high-speed sudden moves, if your body cannot keep up with the reaction, you will not be able to dodge even if you can see it. For crushing blows, if you prevent

If you don’t stop it, it’s useless to see through it.”

When Ling first became an enforcer seven years ago, relying on predicting the opponent's movements to make up for the gap in strength was her main fighting method. But this method soon reached its limit. In the face of a truly strong person, the role of prediction was

Very little.

"Then that slash just now was your combat skill?" Seeing that Ling didn't pursue him, Arios also asked.

"Ah, misunderstanding. It's just a simple swing, and it's no different from the empty swing you do in normal practice. Now, Arios-san, lifting a heavy weight as if it's light and lifting a light weight as if it's heavy are actually the same thing. Being able to 'lift'

How heavy it is is how heavy it is. The reason why I emphasize that the weapon I use is made of Samlian stone is to remind you of this."

However, her explanation was of no use. Arios probably wouldn't think of it at all. She was mistaken. Among swordsmen, the only one who could break a jade steel sword just because he practiced empty swings was

She and Levi are just two Shura swordsmen.

Not to mention the jade steel sword made of carbon steel (235mpa), even the s-weapon tungsten sword made of Corundale steel (3000mpa) can no longer withstand Ling's power, and it will break down after just a few uses.

The blade breaks or the tip of the sword is shattered. Only floating urban weapons made of Samlian stone (100,000 MPa) can allow her to exert her full power without any scruples.

"I see, thank you for your explanation, but you have to be careful next time." After regrouping, Arios once again exuded amazing fighting spirit, even worse than before.

The storm formed with Arios as the center ruffled Ling's long hair. Seeing him continuously increasing his momentum, Ling quickly remembered the moves she had seen five years ago.

Arios used fighting spirit as a link to twist his own essence, energy, and spirit into one. The sword intent covering the entire underground space condensed into one at this moment.

"The ultimate skill of the Black Emperor Sword!"

Explore the ultimate intention of the gale, superimpose the power of the sword energy and amplify it a thousand times, then sublimate it in a flash!

It is completely different from the final sword I saw five years ago, and from the Leo I saw two years ago.

This is an invulnerable sword.

There are no flaws in the path of the sword. The result of the hit is already determined the moment it is swung, and this is a sword that cannot be evaded.

so……

Since there is no flaw, let's go head-on. Ling suddenly thought about how to deal with it. In her hand, the silver-white sword body was covered with a layer of bright gauze, and in an instant it turned into a wide-edged sword.

Light saber. This is a great sword with fighting spirit that bursts out as bright as a star after being extremely compressed.

“Seriously curry sticks!!”

The intersection of the sword and the light blade released a dazzling light like the sun. Even if Arios closed his eyes, a thin layer of eyelids could not block the extremely bright brilliance.

Ling, on the other hand, slightly changed the direction of the sword blade and stopped after the light cannon swallowed up the sword pressure of the Black Emperor Sword. She did not go further to eat Arios' body.

Arios, who poured all of himself into it wholeheartedly, did not notice that the underground space was gradually collapsing under the terrible power. Because of the too dazzling light just now, after the light dissipated, his eyes were now pitch black. Not only his vision,

Hearing, smell, taste, touch, and even consciousness are on the verge of disappearing.

How long has passed? It seems like a moment, and it seems like forever. The concept of time has also become thinner.

He felt as if he had been deprived of his six senses and was in a state of ignorance.

However, ignorance and thought are not nothing. Even in "nothing", there is still a remnant of myself. So, is this the seventh type of nothingness that Master Yun has never had a clue about...

The patter of raindrops fell in his heart. The things that had been lingering on in his examination and thinking resurfaced in his mind, and together with the new feelings, new realms, and new understandings, he returned to his clear mind.

I don't know how long it took, but after I regained my senses again, I heard the sound of a girl sighing.

"Hey, it's troublesome. I accidentally damaged the underground space, and I need to repair it quickly. Ah, I still need to report it to Bell, and I also need to notify the police station and ask them to surround it."

What Arios saw was a mess. Fortunately, the ceiling above did not fall down. The construction quality of Crossbell's underground space was really good.

"It seems that I lost. How long has it been since?" Arios checked his body. There were no injuries on his body, and his clothes and sword remained intact.

"You didn't lose consciousness for even ten seconds. It's okay. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. When I fought with that guy, I lost more than I won. But Arios-san is much more powerful than I thought. It feels like

He seems to be a different person. Now, Mr. Arios, do you want to come and help me?"

"No, I have stayed well in the Guerrilla Association. I have no plans to leave yet. And our paths are different and we don't want to work together." Arios rejected Ling's recruitment without any consideration.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. But it's good to have someone like you here in Crossbell."

"I really don't want to be your enemy. But it seems that my expectations will be difficult to come true." Arios said to Ling.

Huh? Ling noticed that Arios’ tone seemed to be a different person compared to the impatient one just now.

Arios stood up and planned to leave. He did not ask what was hidden behind Guy's death.

Looking at his back walking toward the exit of the underground space, a bad suspicion flashed through Ling's mind.

"Oops, I didn't hit him too hard and broke his brain. I wish I had used ordinary curry sticks... Well, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, I have to clean up the mess quickly before anyone finds out.

.”

Looking at the underground space that was turned into a mess by the aftermath of the battle, Ling had to assign her Rainbow Construction Company, which had dolls as workers, to move out immediately.
