Chapter 1422 Chess Pieces and Players
The sword in the armored old man's hand was like the shining sun, piercing Luo Yiyi who was closest to him.
For a time, most of the mission area was illuminated by this dazzling light.
At this moment, even Xiao Zhi, who was three hundred miles away from the battle, felt a twinge of palpitations in his heart.
The attack that can make him feel palpitations cannot be an ordinary attack.
"Luo Yiyi! Get away!" Xiao Zhi shouted.
However, Luo Yiyi did not dodge, nor could she dodge. She held the magic iron heavy sword and slashed out a black sword energy like a demon with teeth and claws at the armored old man in front of her!
The head-to-head confrontation between Luo Yiyi and the armored old man determined the winner in an instant.
Luo Yiyi's body flashed with light, and she screamed and fell from the sky.
“Yiyi!” Lu Zhong shouted and rushed towards Luo Yiyi, with a look of jealousy on his face.
However, his current situation is also very bad.
On his body, large areas of blue-gray mildew appeared, and a rotten aura emanated from his body.
This is still when he activates the defensive magic [High Mountains].
It can be seen that dense green-gray mildew spots are also appearing on the layers of shadows of the mountains around him.
This curse of Rumpelstiltskin can even erode the strange phenomena that appear when the defensive magic is turned on!
At this moment, Zhao Yan used the power of space law, teleported and appeared not far away from the armored old man, and then unleashed his most powerful killing move - [Air-Breaking Sword Technique]!
In an instant, countless dazzling sword lights bloomed around him, turning into a rain of swords and attacking the armored old man.
At this time, the armored old man exuded a strong and holy light, which seemed to be more dazzling than the sun. Facing Zhao Yan's powerful killing move, his face showed a trace of disdain. He sneered, opened his mouth and spat out a few syllables that Xiao Zhi and the others couldn't understand at all.
He temporarily gave up chasing Luo Yiyi and instead stabbed Zhao Yan with his sword.
When he thrust out his sword, it was like a supernova explosion, bursting out with endless light.
The sword energy that hit him like rain melted away instantly when it encountered this strong light, just like the ice and snow under the bright sun.
Seeing that Zhao Yan was about to be stabbed by this shocking sword, at this moment, Zhao Yan's face turned pale, and his eyes were fixed on the sword that was stabbing him. , eyes full of despair.
At this moment, purple light flashed, and a figure appeared beside Zhao Yan out of thin air.
The moment this figure appeared, there was a loud shout, holding a black sword in both hands, and slashed at the sword that was thrust towards him.
The swords struck each other, making a loud bang.
Under this blow, space ripples appeared visible to the naked eye.
The figure holding the knife only took a small step back, then stood firm.
The armored old man groaned, and the light on his body became dim, and he was thrown back like a piece of rag.
The figure holding the knife chased him like a shadow. While chasing, he shouted: "Back off! Stay away from me! I will deal with them!"
This suddenly appeared in Zhao Yan's body Next to him, the sword-wielding figure who defeated the armored old man with a sword was none other than Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi exchanged positions with Zi Ji Dao and came to support in time. At the critical moment, he saved Zhao Yan's life, and then he continued to kill the armored old man with the knife.
The armored old man had a look of fear on his face, and by throwing himself backwards, he fled into the distance at an incredible speed.
It’s just that the armored old man is faster, and Xiao Zhi is even faster.
Soon, Xiao Zhi had caught up with him and struck him with another killing move [Xuan Shui Knife].
The armored old man resisted with his sword, but was still hit and staggered back. The ancient armor he was wearing was torn apart, and one of his arms was torn together with the ancient armor. .
There was a hissing sound at the fracture, black smoke billowed, and thick black water gurgled out.
The armored old man's somewhat old face was deformed in pain, but he gritted his teeth and did not scream.
After this killing move, the armored old man immediately changed his flight direction, no longer fleeing into the sky, but instead fled toward the bloody vortex not far away.
It seems that he wants to escape back to his own world through the bloody whirlpool.
“Want to escape?!” Xiao Zhi snorted coldly and continued to chase after the armored old man.
After he had finished preparing his killing move, he struck the armored old man with another [Xuanshui Sword] without hesitation.
Under the lock of the killing move, the armored old man's flying speed suddenly dropped sharply.
The next moment, a black alms bowl emerged out of thin air, spinning and rising in the wind, pressing down like Mount Tai, shrouding Xiao Zhi and the armored old man in it.
The huge black alms bowl hung in the air, trembling slightly.
Several Rumpelstiltskin flew towards the black alms bowl, trying to destroy the black alms bowl.
However, what they are good at is only curses, and their destructive power is really average. They cannot break the black alms bowl at all, but only leave patches of mottled blue-gray mildew on the black alms bowl.
There was a dazzling sword light, and Zhao Yan used his most powerful killing move - [Breaking Sky Sword Technique], tearing a Rumpelstiltskin into pieces that tried to attack him.
Immediately afterwards, another Rumpelstiltskin was killed by his killing move [Air-Breaking Sword Technique].
Luo Yiyi's body was still flashing with light, rolling in pain on the ground, and the demonic energy on her body had become increasingly thinner.
Lu Zhong's body was now covered with blue-gray mold, and his whole body exuded a strong sense of decay. His aura also fell from the First God Realm to the Demigod Realm, and then to the Nascent Soul Realm. .
The curse was rapidly eroding his body, depriving him of his vitality, making his body visibly shriveled, just like a mummy.
After Zhao Yan killed two Rumpelstiltskin from a distance with the [Air-Breaking Sword Technique] he mastered, he was finally targeted by the remaining Rumpelstiltskin. Even though he mastered the laws of space and was very good at speed, he was still accidentally cursed by Rumpelstiltskin, and an ugly blue-gray mold quickly appeared on his handsome face.
At this moment, the black alms bowl hanging in mid-air finally stopped trembling slightly, and instead collapsed into an extremely dense black mist.
Holding a black sword in his hand, Xiao stepped out from the black mist, swung the sword casually, and struck a Rumpelstiltskin not far away like lightning...
< br>
Not long after, on the ground, the Dharma Appearance of the Great Powerful Heavenly King, transformed by the Yuan Shen Xiao Zhi, was using the ability of 'speaking the Dharma to follow' to expel the curse on Lu Zhong.
At this time, Lu Zhong was like a mummy, his body was blue-grey, thin and stiff, and the god-level aura that was originally as deep as the sea was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
It can be seen that his current situation is very bad.
Only those who have experienced the curse of Rumpelstiltskin will know the horror of this curse.
Fortunately, the dispersal of the Dharma of the mighty heavenly king is still very effective. Under its dispersion, the blue-grey color on Lu Zhong's body is peeling off piece by piece, and his weak Qi is also peeling off piece by piece. It's getting stronger bit by bit.
Not far from Lu Zhong, there were two huge blocks of ice the size of houses.
The ones frozen in the ice are Zhao Yan and Luo Yiyi.
Zhao Yan also suffered the curse of Rumpelstiltskin. In order to prevent his condition from deteriorating like Lu Zhong, Xiao Zhi gave an order to the demon Li Kuo through his consciousness, asking Li Kuo to use the laws of ice and snow to kill Zhao Yan. Yan was temporarily frozen.
Luo Yiyi's situation is similar. Although she was not cursed by Rumpelstiltskin, the armored old man's killing move was enough for her. Although her condition has not worsened, It was not optimistic, so Xiao Zhi also asked Li Kuo to freeze her to prevent possible deterioration.
A moment later, Lu Zhong recovered from his near-death state under the careful treatment of the mighty king.
After Lu Zhong recovered, his face was pale and his breath was a little sluggish. He said with lingering fear: "It's too terrible. This curse is really terrible. My body and soul are vulnerable to this curse. If it weren't for Brother Zhi, after receiving this curse, I will definitely die."
Xiao Zhi was asking Li Kuo to unfreeze Zhao Yan and prepare to remove the curse from Zhao Yan. He comforted: "It's okay, everything has passed. Have a good rest. Although I have completely removed the curse from your body, the damage caused by this curse to your body and soul cannot be recovered so quickly. It needs to be slow. "Take care of yourself slowly."
Zhao Yan's situation is slightly better than Lu Zhonglai's.
Not long after, the curse on Zhao Yan was completely dispelled by the mighty king Dharma.
Zhao Yan, who had recovered, also had a scared expression on his face and said: "This time, if Brother Zhi hadn't rescued him in time, the three of us would have been wiped out by the group. We are still too weak. In the face of a real crisis, I am completely vulnerable. I’m sorry, Brother Zhi, to disappoint you.”
Xiao Zhi smiled and patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder and said, "You have done a good enough job. It's okay. Take your time. When you become stronger, this situation won't happen again."< br>
As he said that, he asked Li Kuo to defrost Luo Yiyi.
Li Kuo, whose self-consciousness was suppressed by the sentient system, nodded expressionlessly. When he was about to thaw Luo Yiyi, he saw that the huge ice block that sealed Luo Yiyi suddenly cracked. , and then, dense cracks spread all over the ice.
Hearing a bang, the ice cubes exploded.
Amidst the snow and ice splashing all over the sky, Luo Yiyi appeared and walked towards Xiao Zhi and the others.
‘What a fast self-healing speed. ’ Xiao Zhi looked at Luo Yiyi who was walking over, with a strange expression on his face.
Lu Zhong's face showed an expression of joy: "Yiyi, you healed yourself."
Luo Yiyi nodded and said: "Yes, you healed yourself, this darkness of mine The Holy Body is still very good. Since I got it, my self-healing ability has obviously become much stronger."
Zhao Yan said with some envy on the side: "It doesn't matter that the little monster's curse is ineffective on you. Well, you were so seriously injured and you recovered so quickly, which makes me think that all this kind of original magical power has come out."
Luo Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, so can you. You can get one. Anyway, your original magical power is still in the planning stage, and you still have the opportunity to choose.”
"Let me think about it..." Zhao Yan touched his nose.
Lu Zhong glanced at the bloody whirlpool above his head and said to Xiao Zhi: "Brother Zhi, when you came to support us this time, was there anything in the bloody whirlpool you were stationed at? Monsters appear? If there are any, we have to clean them up quickly, lest they become stronger after adapting to the rules of our environment. It will be difficult to deal with him later."
Xiao Zhi said calmly: "Yes, that is also a human from the alien world. He is wearing a robe and holding a scepter in his hand. His energy is better than that of the armored old man. Even stronger."
"Where is he?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glance around cautiously.
Xiao Zhi said: "He only stayed in our mission area for a very short time, then flew back to the bloody whirlpool, and then never appeared again."
Zhao Yan said: "It seems that he was frightened by the fierce strength you showed, Brother Zhi. He was so frightened that he quickly fled our world and went back to his hometown."
" That should be the case." Lu Zhi nodded and said, "However, this is the first time I have encountered an intruder like this who can't defeat us players and knows how to retreat."
Xiao Zhi. Said: "To be precise, it should be: this is the first time we have encountered such an intruder with extremely high intelligence and self-awareness. The intruders we have encountered before, regardless of their strength, I I think they are more like chess pieces and cannon fodder used to charge into the battle. But the armored old man we met this time and the guy who saw the situation was not good and retreated to the bloody vortex, I feel that they are different."
Lu Zhong frowned slightly and said, "Brother Zhi, do you think the two of them might be chess players hiding behind the chess pieces?"
"It's possible." Xiao Zhi nodded and said : "Even if you are not a chess player, at least you are better than the chess cannon fodder we have encountered before."
Xiao Zhi and others gathered together and discussed for a while.
Lu Zhong's face turned slightly red and he said: "No matter what, the mission must continue. Yiyi, Zhao Yan, let's go, we have to continue to guard the bloody whirlpool we are responsible for. "
"Okay." Zhao Yan and Luo Yiyi both nodded.
When the three of them were about to return to the bloody whirlpool where they were stationed, Xiao Zhi suddenly shouted: "Wait."
Lu Zhong, Zhao Yan and Luo Yiyi all stopped. He stepped forward and looked at Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi originally wanted to tell them not to go there and just stay here.
But when the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "After you have passed, go back a little further, and then go back a thousand feet."
"Okay." Lu Zhong nodded. Expressing understanding, Zhao Yan and Luo Yiyi also nodded.
Xiao Zhi handed the Ziji Sword, which was surrounded by purple mist, to Zhao Yan and said, "Take this, remember, your life is important, don't show off."
"Okay, I know." Zhao Yan stretched out his hands and solemnly took the Ziji Sword from Xiao Zhi.
