---------..
Blood Owl and Jacob only fought for more than ten seconds, and the battlefield changed from the ground to the air.
The direction of this battle situation undoubtedly reflects the blood owl's wisdom in combat. Although when the opponent attacks, he does not have much time to think about strategies and tactics, but he instinctively chooses to lead the opponent into an aerial battle. Facts have also proved that this is very meaningful. The other ability users of Iron Discipline have basically lost the ability to participate in this contest.
One of the significant differences between mad level and ferocious level ability users is the air superiority. Although there are people like Paper Man who can fly through their abilities at the paper level, but even if such ability users rise into the air, they will not be able to fly in front of them. There is no possibility of interference in the fight between these two people. One has to be a fierce-level ability user to catch up with the fighting speed of Blood Owl and Jacob. People who can't even see their movements clearly can't intervene.
Therefore, Steel Commandment seemed to have the numerical advantage of dozens of ability users, but only Jacob was fighting the blood owl in the air, while the others stood helplessly below and watched.
The two shadows collided with each other, turbulent currents of energy surged around, and the wind and clouds changed color.
Most ability users below the strong level can only barely deduce the situation of the battle based on the afterimages they see. Even if they want to activate their long-range abilities to assist the legion leader, they are actually powerless. To successfully hit the blood owl in an instant, The difficulty is like asking someone who has never been trained to hit a high-speed Frisbee with a rifle.
Even if they are ferocious-level ability users, not everyone can clearly see the battle situation above. Only those who can clearly see the situation are left. The closer the strength is to the level of the two monsters above, the uglier their faces become. Most of them are over fifty years old, which is the age when their physical and mental strength is about to decline, considering their talents. If nothing else happens, he will be in the middle and lower reaches of the vicious level for the rest of his life. When these people saw the fight between the two above, they felt like they were watching a horror movie.
That feeling... It's as if you have spent a lifetime doing research and finally developed an energy output that covers an area of several hundred acres, is expensive to build, but is safer than a nuclear reactor, and is clean and reliable. As a result, you heard that there was a man named Tony Stark. I spent a week in a cave in the desert and built a gadget that was more advanced than you, and its size was only about the size of a fist.
Imagine watching the battle between Blood Owl and Jacob at this moment. It will make people with abilities have this kind of inner feeling.
While they were focusing on the fight in the sky, the five people from the reverse cross had quietly approached. Under the cover of the magic doctor, Yue Yao, Feng Xuan, Wei Sheng, and Gunsmith were all not discovered by the opponent. They quickly walked through the ruins and were already close to a distance of less than fifty meters.
"Bamond doesn't seem to be among the group," Stranger said.
"Then let's not show up for the time being." Fengxuan replied in a low voice: "If there is only one guy in the sky, the blood owl can handle it. Anyway, the group of people below do not pose a threat to him now. If we suddenly rush out , a five-on-fifty fight will create a situation where the blood owl has to come down to help us."
"The problem is...the whereabouts of their grand leader." Moon Demon said thoughtfully: "According to what Tianyi said, Cesare Balmond came to find the Tree of Life. The group of people in front of him were undoubtedly He stayed to delay the Blood Owl. Bamond himself must have probably moved towards the target himself."
Stranger responded: "It makes sense, I think... rather than waste time here. Why don't the five of us go find Balmond. No matter how many men he still has around him, there will never be more people than there are here. We can deal with him, delay and obstruct him, just to consume some of his energy."
Wei Sheng nodded and said he had no objection. As for the gunsmith... no one asked for his opinion, so the five of them simply continued towards the city center.
It was at this time that the coercion of the Cherubim after stepping out of the iron coffin swept across the entire Sky Garden, making everyone feel the presence of this powerful creature... no, it should be said that it was the existence of this powerful demon.
The Blood Owl actually stopped in the air and glanced in the direction of the temple. Although the area was not within sight, he was still involuntarily attracted by the powerful aura.
"Hmph... A more interesting prey has appeared." The blood owl raised one corner of his mouth, not concealing his excitement.
Here, except for the creatures of the Second Kingdom and Dark Water, there is only one blood owl among humans who can fight without restraint. In the world where the residual consciousness of Mirror Face competed with each other, the other party did know a lot of things that the blood owl didn't know. For example, the residual consciousness clearly knew that the blood owl's body was being reorganized, and his words "The blood of evil spirits, "Devil's bone skin" is not groundless. Today's Blood Owl's body is not reshaped by the medical capabilities of human civilization, but relies on the medical technology of the Dark Water Tribe in the Eternal Core.
Yes, the Dark Water Tribe also has medical technology. It is true that they can heal themselves, but in extremely serious cases, self-regeneration is not that effective. For example, a member of the Dark Water Tribe, except for his head, his entire body fell into It's evaporated in the magma, and if it's not dealt with, it may take him years to fully recover, at which point he'll need medical treatment.
However, the blood owl is a human being after all, so this technology cannot be directly applied to him. Fortunately, two top people, the magic doctor and the gunsmith, and some practical examples provided by Dark Water, successfully completed this experimental treatment. , allowing the Blood Owl to be reborn.
"Looking around, right?" Jacob dodged and appeared behind the blood owl, slashing the back of his neck with a knife.
The Blood Owl received this blow firmly, and his whole body fell like a cannonball, rushing diagonally towards the ground. If he lands like this, the damage caused will never be less than that of a real cannonball. It will definitely create a big crater. If there is an unlucky guy standing near the place where he fell, he will probably be hit. Crashed to pieces.
"You dare to distract me when you are competing with me. You are seeking death!" Jacob gained the upper hand and became proud of his words. He continued to charge through the air at explosive speeds. It surpassed the Blood Owl, which was in free fall, and reached the ground first.
"I won't let you have another chance to fight back. Let me teach you a lesson. This is called one wrong move. Total loss!" The ground under Jacob's feet cracked, and facing the falling Blood Owl, He pumped his fist in response.
When fighting in the air just now, Jacob did not use his abilities. He simply controlled energy and used physical skills to fight the blood owl. He roughly used 80% of his strength, and he could barely fight the opponent to a draw. And the punch thrown at this moment. He felt that the time had come, so he used all his strength. Maybe this blow could not kill the blood owl, but it would definitely injure him severely.
After the Blood Owl was shot down. The posture of his body in the air was no longer controlled, and his spine naturally arched, turning his back to the earth and his limbs upward. Things developed exactly as Jacob imagined, a blow filled with violent energy. It hit the blood owl's back.
After the collision, the blood owl's spine was not broken, and the fist did not penetrate his body, which can be seen at this moment. Blood Owl can still maintain the energy layer on the surface of his body.
But that punch that penetrated Changhong, and all the force that the blood owl endured when he fell. It exploded at this moment, and all of it had to be borne by the blood owl's back. This is much stronger than a direct fall to the ground.
Sure enough, a second later, the blood owl was beaten into the sky again, almost following the same trajectory as when he fell, turning back upwards in the opposite direction. At the point of contact between Jacob's fist and the blood owl's back, a circular wave of air rushed out, sweeping around like a strong wind, and the ground under Jacob's feet further cracked, and his feet stepped out two A very deep pit has come.
"It's not over yet..." Jacob said fiercely through his teeth. He easily pulled his feet out of the broken ground, jumped up again, climbed into the sky at high speed, and once again surpassed the Blood Owl. , comes to the front of its movement trajectory.
This is the fighting style of the leader of the Iron Discipline Corps. As long as he finds a flaw in the opponent, he will continue to attack until he is sure that the opponent is unable to move or dead. Otherwise, he will never stop. His idea is simple, advantages are fleeting.
You think that when you knock someone down with one punch, you have gained an advantage and can take a breath. Even if the other person takes a breath at this time, it does not change the fact that you punched him one more time. But that's not what Jacob thinks. He believes that if you punch someone, even if you are at the end of your strength at the time, you have to continue gritting your teeth until the other person can't breathe, and then you can stop. Take a breath.
In a life-and-death battle, many people will do this. Waiting for the opponent to get up from the ground means giving the opponent a chance to bite back. But sometimes, stopping the pursuit is a helpless move. Pursuing and fighting is actually a technical job. In many cases, the attacker consumes more energy than the attacked, and requires longer adjustment time. It's not that they want to give the opponent time, but they just can't continue the offensive.
Jacob is a good player in this regard. He is used to this way of fighting and knows how to reasonably control the rhythm of the battle. He is confident that he will never give the blood owl a chance to reverse the situation.
"I want to see how many times you can hold on..." Jacob stopped the blood owl in front of him, channeled his energy, and was ready to stomp when the opponent approached.
The power of this kick cannot be underestimated. Even if the blood owl can still use energy to protect his body from serious damage, he will undoubtedly be kicked down again.
But at this time, the Blood Owl suddenly disappeared from Jacob's sight for a second. When he reappeared, he had grabbed Jacob's ankle with one arm.
"Zhaoyu, you seem to be having a lot of fun." The blood owl said with a smile.
Jacob's leg was still bent at the knee, and he had not yet exerted force to push it out. After being caught by the blood owl, he was surprised to realize that the intensity of the opponent's energy had not weakened at all, which meant that the hand knife and heavy punch he had just used were of no use at all.
The back and forth just now was like Jacob pushing the Blood Owl back and forth twice. The Blood Owl relaxed his body and allowed it to hit hard, completely based on a kind of self-confidence. He believed that he could have the absolute upper hand in the energy collision. Therefore, at this moment, the blood owl suddenly changed the speed of flying upward, and instead caught Jacob's flaw.
"Ah!!" Jacob shouted violently and couldn't wait to hit the blood owl's head with the knee of his other leg. He knew very well that if his ankle was firmly grasped by such an opponent, the result of breaking his leg would be considered minor. .
"Are you ready to use your abilities?" The blood owl used his other hand to block Jacob's knee. It looked extremely relaxed; "When you bastards face me, can you use your full strength from the beginning? Do you have to tear off some of your organs to realize the seriousness of the matter?" He shook his hand with one arm. With a twist, Jacob's ankle suffered a spiral fracture. "The kind of guy who knows his death is coming. The determination to fight is true, but they have lost their minds because of fear or anger, and often It's too boring to not be able to exert your strongest strength and just use simple and crude attacks like a flashback." He said, letting go of his hand and retreating some distance.
Jacob really had to thank the blood owl for not being like him. Give him a "beat him to death", but chose to stabilize the situation.
"I understand..." Jacob endured the severe pain and twisted his ankle back, "You want me to be in a very clear-headed state. I will try my best to attack you to the limit of my ability..."
"Very good, you understand." When the blood owl spoke, a golden beam of light shot from the ground. He didn't even look at it, and held the energy with one hand: "Your companion is very annoying... Can this also be called energy conversion?" A black energy surged out from his palm, and the light arrow Cover it up.
Jacob's eyes widened: "What are you going to do!"
The blood owl flicked his hand and threw the blackened beam in the direction it was coming from. The Steel Discipline ability users on the ground fled in all directions upon seeing this, but there were still more than a dozen people who had no time to escape.
That energy exploded. It's like an enhanced version of an anti-tank mine, except for the earth and rocks rising into the sky and the shock wave that spreads. There were also a large amount of energy fragments scattered and exploded. Unfortunately, five or six people were pierced by the fragments and were killed directly without energy protectors. More than ten people were injured to varying degrees.
"Oh?" The blood owl raised his head and looked at Jacob: "Haha... The anger is increasing. Do you want to calm down? Negative emotions will increase my strength. I think the fear of the people below is enough."
"Heretic!" A figure suddenly flew up and rushed towards the blood owl.
Jacob hurriedly stopped: "Don't come over!"
The Blood Owl calmly floated in place. He could have killed the opponent before he got close, but he did not do so. He just allowed the Iron Discipline ability user to quickly approach and strangled him with one arm from behind. neck.
"Your arm strength is only enough to strangle a sparrow." The blood owl said without replying.
"I know that with my ability, my strength... I can't hurt you, but..." The man's eyes were bloodshot and he took out a pocket watch from his coat pocket.
"Idiot! It's useless! Run away!" Jacob shouted: "This is an order!"
"I want..." Before the man could say anything, the blood owl interrupted: "You want to avenge someone, right?" He said nonchalantly: "That blow just now killed your brother? Friend? Lover? Huh... I'm not interested in your reasons. If you want to die together, just come, don't ruin my mood by staying so close with that kind of grief and anger."
"Ah!!! You beast! Monster!" The man shouted crazily: "I will obey my master's will and I will be punished by God!"
Jacob could only retreat a certain distance and watched the man turn to ashes in the bright light.
Although the blood owl's body was also engulfed by the light after the explosion of the Commandment Pocket Watch, Jacob knew very well that his energy had not disappeared, and his strength was enough to survive such an explosion.
After the ability users on the ground learned the blood owl's methods, they also retreated further. They could see that it was too dangerous to try to attack the blood owl. The madman simply killed people without batting an eyelid, and He was so strong that killing him would be like dying in vain.
"This farce should be over." The blood owl said, "Your name is Jacob, the commander of the Iron Discipline Corps." He had read a lot of information about the high-ranking members of the resistance organization, and as long as he recalled it, he could basically name it. "I have a suggestion. You do your best to let me enjoy the battle. Then after killing you, I can let those trash fish on the ground go. Of course, the premise is that they don't take the initiative to bother me anymore."
Jacob can be said to be in shock. Since reaching the mad level, except for the grand leader Cesare Balmond, he has never met anyone who can make him feel despair. He thought that he had reached the level of ability. At the pinnacle of resistance, there are few opponents in the world, and even the leaders of other resistance organizations have never been looked down upon by him. But here and now, the Blood Owl made him taste the fear he had not experienced for a long time.
"Everyone obeys the order! Rush to the head of the regiment immediately!" Jacob did not answer the blood owl. He directly turned back and gave the order to his subordinates.
Before the other party could say a few nice words, Jacob immediately responded: "Stop talking nonsense! Leave immediately!" He was afraid that the blood owl would betray his promise and change his mind, so he hoped that those people would escape as far away as possible.
The ability users of Iron Discipline all knew that the legion commander was about to burn his boat. It's not that they don't want to help, but even if the Commandment Pocket Watch exploded at such a close distance, the Blood Owl was unscathed, so what can they do if they stay? So these people reorganized their troops with great sadness and anger, followed the legion commander's order, and continued to march towards the city.
Jacob watched his men leave, not minding turning his back to the Blood Owl. It wasn't until he saw his companions running a considerable distance away that their figures became blurry that he turned around and said, "You will regret it, Tu." God."
"I don't know why you call me that." The blood owl replied: "If in your eyes, I symbolize killing, what I can tell you is that the killing has been impatient.". . )
