Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 717: A small cheat meets a big cheat

Views:

Zhao Changhe definitely didn't expect this, and neither did Yue Hongling.

I just fought with Xue Xiao yesterday, and his level was consistent with my previous impression. He was a third-level secret assassin on the Heavenly Ranking. He was extremely fast and fierce. If he missed my target with one strike, he would fly away thousands of miles away and would never fight with you.

He is very strong. Being stared at by such an assassin would make anyone's scalp tingle. After all, no one can guard against thieves for a thousand days, and it is not uncommon to be killed by a careless mistake. But once such an assassin is forced into a frontal battle, it will be much better. His frontal ability is relatively average.

When Yue Hongling attacked yesterday and joined forces with Zhao Changhe, Xue Xiao was clearly at a disadvantage. So if he wanted to assassinate Zhao Changhe this time, he had to follow him all the way, looking for the opportunity when the two of them forgot about their relationship, and then attack silently.

Everything is logical.

Who could have thought that in just one day, his cultivation would increase so dramatically inexplicably, which was even more outrageous than Zhao Changhe's life of cheating!

Of course, this phenomenon is not surprising. If you break through on the same day, you will be so awesome the next day. It’s just that it is usually not expected and is often killed by information asymmetry. This kind of counterattack due to information asymmetry is usually treated as the protagonist. Zhao Changhe was very shocked. Could it be that you are the protagonist

However, the person who was more shocked was Snow Owl.

A sword pierced Zhao Changhe's throat. Xue Xiao was just feeling happy in his heart, but the joy froze on his face the next moment.

The sword that pierced his throat had no real feeling, it was very much like his own afterimage technique. The shadow twisted, and Zhao Changhe's big sword had already come down on his neck.

This time it turned into a thorough close combat, and the distance between the two had never been so close!

Xue Xiao felt extremely confused.

The way he absorbed the energy of annihilation and controlled the realm was very special, and it was different from Wang Daoning's forcible acceptance of the Sea Emperor's will. Not everyone could do this, and Wang Daoning even ruined himself.

Because the "innate demon god" of Anmie is the condensation of the dark shadow of the world's corruption, it is essentially a "natural treasure" that anyone can absorb and use, but ordinary people have never thought about it, and may not have such a skill to absorb other people's attributes. And Xuexiao just happened to play the routine of sword energy fishing to absorb skills, and just happened to know this from other information, it was made by heaven and earth, so he was able to absorb and break through.

He achieved the breakthrough by absorbing the "treasures of heaven and earth". Why did Zhao Changhe learn his own method of splitting light and flowing shadows

I sat up in shock from my dying illness, and found that the treasure was actually me

In a close-range head-on confrontation, even if the opponent was a Yujing master, Zhao Changhe never failed. The broadsword was swung violently, and Xue Xiao used the power of Yujing to block it with his sword, but he could only block it evenly. At least he didn't fail to release the force like yesterday and was almost killed by the blow.

Yue Hongling became one with his sword and flew up from below again, stabbing his opponent's back with his sword, once again forming a two-sided pincer attack.

Snow Owl looked gloomy and dodged again.

Seven or eight shadowy figures of snow owls appeared from all directions, half of them attacked Zhao Changhe, and the other half attacked Yue Hongling.

This was the result of his Light Splitting and Shadow Flowing Technique combined with the Dark Shadow Control of Anmie. It was not a clone, only one was real, and the others were not completely harmless, but just ordinary shadow injuries. However, how to distinguish who was the real body and who was the shadow

Zhao Changhe slashed out with his sword, blood surged all around, and all the blood evil in the bodies of all the Snow Owl's "clones" was mobilized.

The mountains and rivers are filled with blood and you can use them at will. Anything without blood is naturally fake, there is no need to distinguish!

Yue Hongling could naturally feel this kind of bloody evil spirit clearly. Her control over the sword energy was also perfect. With one sword strike, seven or eight sword energies circled around her clone, and the strongest sword beam once again rushed towards Snow Owl's body.

The husband and wife team worked together almost as one, and the fighting method that Xue Xiao had just learned and thought was almost invincible was instantly broken.

The inertial thinking of not being able to confront head-on occupied Xue Xiao's mind again. He quickly pushed away the dragon bird that was approaching Zhao Changhe and did not respond to Yue Hongling's sword that pierced his back. His body turned into an afterimage again and he allowed Yue Hongling to stab the afterimage. His real body had already disappeared into the sky.

However, this escape method, which had always been successful, suddenly failed this time.

In the eyes of those who could not understand his move, his body was similar to "teleportation", and he inexplicably arrived far away, and it was impossible for anyone to predict the landing point. However, Zhao Changhe had already figured out this move through the heavenly book, and he could barely use it to avoid a sword in the throat. He naturally knew that this so-called "teleportation" actually had a trajectory. At the landing point where Xue Xiao fled, a sword suddenly appeared.

The Galaxy Sword, which truly blended into the night, had been waiting there at some point, and it stabbed lightly.

Xue Xiao felt like he had hit the sword himself. This time he didn't even have time to dodge. He just twisted his body with all his strength, and the magic sword brushed past his ribs, bringing out a rain of blood.

"Zhao Changhe's journey was indeed not easy." The hoarse voice finally disappeared into the night, accompanied by the painful pounding of sword energy. It can be predicted that he will have to lie down for a long time this time.

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

We can’t keep up with the speed and can’t catch up, and this has become a chronic problem.

"Forget it. This kind of assassin relies on his physical skills and speed. When he was in Bashu, Li Shentong was stronger than him but he couldn't do anything to him. In the palace, even Xia Longyuan couldn't be kept. It's okay if we can stop him from causing trouble for a while. We still have room for improvement. We can deal with him next time." Zhao Changhe said with a lingering fear: "Damn, I almost fell into his hands. This kind of assassin is really troublesome."

Yue Hongling said: "You are already proud enough for being able to hurt him like this... and he might be in even more trouble."

Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"I have Canxia Sword Qi trapped in his body. It is extremely hidden. I don't know if he can find it. As long as he doesn't find it, we can design a more targeted trap next time to make him fall into the net."

Zhao Changhe was overjoyed: "I was wondering if your sword attack wasn't powerful enough. It turns out you were playing dirty tricks."

"With his ghostly movements, even if he uses all his strength, he won't get any better results. It's better to do something..." Yue Hongling curled her lips: "It's because you led him astray. How can you hear a hero who is so happy to play dirty? You are unworthy of your name."

"There's also a female warrior who plays Shadow herself." Zhao Changhe didn't have much energy to joke, but his mind was still a little heavy: "I don't know why he suddenly seems to have merged with Anmie. He didn't know how to play Shadow before, let alone Breaking the Imperial Guard."

Yue Hongling raised his head and thought for a moment: "Could it be that he really merged with Anmie... For example, he absorbed it. I heard that Wang Daoning absorbed the Yin Qi of the Sea Emperor, although there were flaws... But think about it, Shi Wuding is actually Xue Xiao's sword slave, and Xue Xiao originally specialized in this method of free-range absorption."

"Maybe that's the truth." Zhao Changhe frowned and said, "If that's the case, I think Huang Yang and the others might also..."

Yue Hongling also looked solemn.

It was actually not a big deal for Xue Xiao to absorb a demon god with similar properties to him. His cultivation was destined to be incompatible with too many things and could only rely on one type of power. What really worried people was, what would happen if there was another extremely compatible and powerful demon god who had most of the demon god's attributes

For example, there is chaos in Kunlun. Judging from the ability displayed by Xue Xiao, the chaotic attribute is not his... Then is this attribute one of the various demon gods, or a higher-level compatible one? If everything is attributed to chaos and destruction, who can resist it

Zhao Changhe whispered: "We may have touched the core... I must talk to Yuxu about this matter clearly."

Yue Hongling asked: "Then do we still go to Miaojiang first?"

"Go. I'm a little uneasy." Zhao Changhe said, "Demons have descended from all over the world, dragons and snakes have emerged from the land, and no one knows whether the Miao border and the secret realm of the spirits are still peaceful. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I have to go and take a look to feel at ease."

As he was speaking, Wuzhui, who had been hiding somewhere, popped his head out and flew over to greet him.

"This guy is very experienced in hiding and watching the show." Zhao Changhe's mood suddenly improved. He picked up Yue Hongling and jumped onto Wuzhui: "Let's go to Miaojiang!"
