Seeing that all of them were glaring at her, the curve on her lips became even more difficult to describe: "I'm just drawing my sword. I won't do a sneak attack. That would be an insult to my sword."
369. I can’t use a sword, I’m not interested in swords
People with different destinies formed a wall in front of Kong Shen - just like his cohesive force that can accommodate all rivers and seas, everyone can find what they desire in him, or in other words, spiritual sustenance.
Although he was eager to try, Jing Liu, who was quite sensitive to power, was confused by Kong's colorful "Faith Map" at the first glance.
If one's destiny is a little bit involved in everything, at best one can only be considered a complicated ordinary person... at most an enhanced version of an ordinary person. Only when one reaches the pinnacle in one path will one be noticed by the Star God. If one tries to spread out in many places, one will not be able to specialize in anything, nor will one be able to please anyone.
If she stood here at the beginning, it was because her collaborator wanted to help test the sky - now she personally has a stronger interest in this famous doctor.
The great power of Jin Mie Huo Zu and the kindness of Yao Shi merged well in him, and they lived in peace...
But these two familiar and vigilant smells are particularly strong, because she has been fighting with the people of abundance for many years, and because she has temporarily received the blessing of destruction, although it is not sponsored by Nanook himself, it is enough for her to realize that the sky is on this path.
Once the sword is out, there is no turning back. Since he had already drawn the sword towards him, Jing Liu ignored the angry look of the man who was protecting him, turned around to avoid Shen He's blockade, and continued to point the tip of the sword at Kong's lower abdomen.
Not pointing directly at his chest was a sign of respect - regardless of whether he was cautious or not, so many people came up to block his sword at the first opportunity, and this ability to gather people's hearts was not in vain.
"There are more important things right now... Miss Jingliu, I can discuss swordplay with you, but can we do it somewhere else, at another time?"
"...Doctor, I have just solved a problem for you, freeing up enough time for us to fight."⒎
After hearing Sora's rather calm proposal, Jingliu was satisfied that this man was not afraid of the sword fight, but was really concerned about the disaster in the department.
"But compared to the fall of one or two platforms, what Jingliu wants to try is related to Luofu's hundred-year or even thousand-year plan." She still didn't move aside, and her crazy smile made Liuyun's glasses reflect.
"The branches of Jianmu will block the way of the Cloud Riders and delay their progress. This troublesome work should have fallen on your shoulders. But I have done it for you. As it grew, I cut off the one that was most likely to penetrate the joint, saving you from wasting more than three days of effort. If you don't believe me, you can ask the fortune teller. According to her prediction, without that sword, when can you get in?"
It turns out that the ice chips mixed with sawdust flew off the platform just now... Is it because you are a gardener?
Kong turned his head to look at Fu Xuan, who responded with silence, which actually meant he accepted it.
...It's so troublesome.
Sora scratched his head, as if he had been in a weird cycle of self-affirmation and trust crisis since he came to this world...
Although it is similar in other worlds, the favor of many star gods to him has increased the suspicion of all parties towards him. If it were not for the girls to get tickets more easily, he would even want to cut off ties with every fate... But as the saying goes, money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.
"I accept your challenge, Ms. Jingliu. This is the first and last time - I am not one to bear grudges for offenses, but it is not easy for me to forget."
Seeing Kong step forward and push his companions away, indicating that they can hold on, Jing Liu's eyes seeped a bit of satisfaction: "Very good, then take my sword - take the sword, and I will not hinder you anymore. If the doctor can use me as a pawn, I am willing to do my little bit of help before going to Xu Ling."
...Why are you all the same? You all like to consume my patience in advance, right?
And are you too confident in yourself, little sister? Just one sword?
There was a hint of pride in Kong's pupils - it collided with Jingliu's arrogance, it was the unwillingness of the warriors to admit defeat.
She could tell that Sora's stance and his reaction just now were those of a seasoned warrior - he wasn't some expert who could only slaughter people in a martial arts gym.
"Then prepare your answer - who leaked the information that we would arrive at the Industrial and Manufacturing Division at this time to you? The communication interference on this platform is so serious. If Fu Xuan didn't have the magic eye, we wouldn't be able to contact the Taibu Division -"
"…⑨…My collaborator is in Changletian. After the fourth incident, if Luo⑻ Fu is still alive, we will go to the Shenlin Ce Mansion together to plead guilty.⑤"
Jing Liu's gaze shifted slightly to the east: "In addition to his advance notice, there was an old friend among the hunters who arrived. When he arrived, he knew you were coming."
Ah, is it a blade?
He was the only one Sora could think of.
This sea of stars is vast, yet also very small. However, this is his second home, so it is reasonable for him to meet so many old friends.
"… Let's get this straight first. How do you fight with swords? Armor or no armor? Weapon restrictions? I'm not really good with swords, so is it okay to use other weapons?"
Old Yang was originally glaring at Jing Liu, but after hearing Kong Jia's additional conditions, he pushed his glasses down with a frown on his face.
Kong still did not lie. Compared to other weapons he was good at, the sword was more like a ceremonial weapon for Kong, a way of showing etiquette and respect outside of fighting. It was usually only used when training with his own people. In battle, both swords and spears were more obedient than swords.
But he actually didn't really want to respect Mirror Style, at least his affinity with him was a bit bad.
"——The way you stand doesn't look like someone who doesn't know swordsmanship."
Jing Liu licked her cherry lips. Although this crazy beauty had a ferocious smile, when she was immersed in the kind of skill of testing each other's momentum, she could also firmly attract people's attention with her swaying pupils.
Sora's hand holding the chainsaw sword exerted a little more force.
——Although the opponent has not completely fallen into the devil's evil and still has some rationality, she and her sword aura have almost completely merged into one, and she is almost turning into a "sword demon".
Looking at the broad sword with crisscrossed ice edges, it seems to have similar abilities to Cocolia. They both draw strength from destruction.
The chainsaw sword began to spin, and amid the buzzing sound, it tore through the air. Six people were still trying to stop him, and also blocked the mirror flow's Shenhe.
"What kind of weapon is that... Oh, never mind. It's up to you. Let me see why you wield a weapon. It's a sword."
Shen He saw that Kong was "stubbornly" trying to teach the other party a lesson, and his expression became more serious:
"Don't promise her, there's no need."
"If you want to see a person clearly, you have to see him between life and death, when the tip of a sword pierces his throat. This girl, since you have given yourself to him, don't you want to see his heroic side more?"
Jing Liulian even used the method of provoking the opponent, tapping his boots lightly, like a restless drum, and without them noticing, they were already spinning around to test each other.
"Spread out, I'll have a quick fight with her."
"…Why do we have to take this risk?"
Shen He's eyes were rarely bright, and he was about to say, "There's no need to talk about chivalry with this kind of person, let's just attack together."
"…I'm in a bad mood right now and need to vent. Little Sanyue, remove the shield—"
"Ah? Are you sure?"
"No joke."
"Well, then be careful!!"
The surrounding six-phase ice flakes off - the resentment accumulated from being suspected and mistrusted many times needs a target to vent, and he decides to teach this woman a lesson, also to avoid trouble in the future.
Although she was angry, she also brought more fame to Sora.
If the previous sword masters of Luofu could not get anything good out of him, it would surely deter the villains and prevent any Tom, Dick, or Harry from bullying him.
"Yes, that's right. The murderous aura flowing on your sword is really making me itch to stab it. I can't bear it any more!"
Reason was once again taken over by the evil spirit, and when the murderous intent took shape, the golden light on the small map suddenly turned red, and the blood-red color was frighteningly bright.
But she was not the first to take action. In order to make her companions stop trying to dissuade him and realize that she was no longer the weak commander who had to be protected, Tao Gangjia shot out at the same time, and collided with Jingliu's sword with a sharp movement that Xiao Sanyue and Danheng had never seen before, like a collision between a rugby player.
"boom--!"
The stone slab in front of the commander shook three times, the sword light and the single-molecule chain saw cut together, and also separated in an instant in the sonic boom. The platform under their feet was crushed, revealing the tangled growth of Jianmu.
Even the "miracle" that was tougher than metal could not withstand the destruction and was chopped into pieces when the crescent moon passed by.
But when he looked back, Jing Liu had already flown backwards and landed on the gate, breaking the walls and mortise and tenon joints of the hall. The Siqian Hall, which had a history of more than a thousand years, was crushed by the impact of her retreat.
The tip of the Jingliu sword drooped as it fell to the ground. Her devilish pupils, which were glowing with pink light, suddenly calmed down. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she wiped it away subconsciously.
The moment she saw the bright red on the back of her hand, her crazy temperament subsided a little, replaced by a thoughtful smile:
"…Injury for injury?"
"Exchange injuries? No, this is the standard tactic of heavy armor against unarmored. It's also the main reason why I don't like to use the sword in a fight. Do you think you are killing civilians? Wasn't it the sword head before? You must have killed hundreds of Buli heavy infantry in the battle. How could you not know how they fight? It's just that their shells are not as thick as mine, and you underestimated them."
Sora stopped the chainsaw sword and pinched his other blood-stained ceramic steel wrist guard, which seemed to be a little swollen. He felt that this punch was too satisfying. It might be a side effect of his swelling body, and his violent tendencies also recurred.
"That's amazing. Your head is still there without the helmet. I was ready to accidentally beat you to death."
"Fa, what happened?" Xiao Sanyue couldn't even see clearly the process of their fight just now, she was completely confused by the explosion.
"…The chainsaw sword deflected the tip of her sword, deflecting the blow that was aimed at her neck. Then, he used his psychic shield to absorb most of the force of the blow, and blocked it with his shoulder armor. At the same time, he swung his fist with his other hand and hit her left face."
There was a cut on the painted part of the regiment's logo on the ceramic steel armor - that was the injury caused by Jingliu. If it weren't for the armor, Kong would probably have been cut in half with his shoulders and ribs.
Dan Heng was sharp-eyed and took the initiative to explain: "--Too fast, if we judge by the hit parts, Jingliu wins, but if we judge by the battle formation, Kong wins."
"Ah, it's a completely different tactic!"
Paimon, who had seen Kong attack the enemy with a light sword and a fast horse countless times, folded his arms and nodded to himself, as if he understood something: "No wonder he said he was better at charging before... It's a pity that I never had the chance to see it over there."
"I didn't underestimate you... You and I are indeed the same kind of people."
But to everyone's great surprise, Jingliu did not blame Kong for not following martial ethics. Instead, he took the initiative to disperse the ice sword, and with a flick of his tongue, the blood at the corner of his lips disappeared. He stood in front of the hall and said openly, "You win."
"...Ah? That's it?"
Not only was Kong stunned for a moment, Fu Xuan, who had no idea what was going on, was also startled.
The future she saw had a new branch in an instant. Originally, the battle between Kong and Jingliu would have lasted for several minutes, until Si Dian was completely broken apart. However, Jingliu stopped when he saw the good, and although he was a little greedy for the thrill of the moment of life and death, he was far from following his own desires and causing greater damage.
Fu Xuan doubted her life for a moment. The same feeling of despair as the astrologer from another world swept over her for the first time, making her forget to be happy for Kong to be recognized by the sword master.
"I said, just one strike of the sword, if you can block it, you win. I already know that you are not swayed by the impulse of the pharmacist's 'resurrection', nor are you dominated by the instinct of destruction. The power of your punch is far greater than the Cloud Rider's hammer. If you exert a little more force, the head of the war chief will also be broken."
She admired Sora's appearance without pretending, and the desire to have a final say in this battle was forcibly suppressed.
In front of everyone, she pressed her face. The black air coming out of her body made her pupils disappear, and the pink in her eyes turned into dark red. The terrifying aura lasted for half a minute before it was completely suppressed. But looking at her eyes again at this moment, they were a little more humane than before - 3
"...You are right. The power of heavy footsteps in the formation is much more useful than a sword. Compared with personally killing the evil, you also have the demeanor of a general. I got an acceptable answer."
The blindfold that had flown away to who knows where seemed to have a spirit and flew back to Jing Liu, landing in her hands.
"Leave the hunting outside the Ministry to me - Yingxing's condition is not good, maybe you should go check him out, he's just to the east."
After saying those incoherent words, the woman quickly put on her blindfold, and when she turned to leave, she "glanced" at the stopped chainsaw with some reluctance, as if she felt it was a pity that she didn't have a fierce battle with him today.
But her life had long been full of regrets... She only struck out with one sword.
Ying Xing was seeking death—in a sense, wasn't she the same?
"She provoked others on her own, and then she ran away after being beaten up - what on earth is that woman doing here?"
Seeing Jingliu leaping out and running towards the Creation Furnace, Xiao Sanyue realized for the first time so clearly that Kong was being targeted by that woman - as for whether she was coveting the opportunity to debate swords with him in the future or for someone else, it was hard to say... When the previous sword master ran away, that terrifying look seemed a little weird to her.
"People who are deeply trapped in the evil will lack logic in their actions, but she... actually managed to maintain some sanity by covering her eyes?"
Dan Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief - Jingliu's attention was almost entirely focused on Kong just now. Fortunately, he didn't say hello to him before leaving, otherwise with Taibu and Panguan present, he wouldn't know how to respond.
"What do we do next—huh? Are you okay?"
"I should have known I'd hit her harder. She looks so delicate, but she's actually so solid—"
"..."
Although the mirror flow is not yet complete, the empty state cannot be called normal.
370. The Battle between Black and White
