Chapter 66 Secret Technique
“Drive!”
“Drive!”
On the path, a sturdy war horse was running wildly.
The knight on the horse looked panic-stricken, looking back from time to time, desperately squeezing the horse's potential to speed up.
rear.
The fog that filled the entire Black City spread in all directions, swallowing everything visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, the expansion speed of the fog is not too fast. As the rider gallops, the distance between the two becomes farther and farther.
“Drive!”
Running across a hillside, the fog behind was far away from sight. Hal was not relieved until this moment.
"Stanford, I won after all!"
He touched the package behind his back and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Even if the Black City is destroyed and even if the position of the city guard corps is lost, everything is worth it as long as the things are still there.
Besides...
"I have not wanted to stay in the Black City for a long time. It would be better to destroy it now. As long as I report the discovery of the Forgotten City, I believe His Highness Mevia will not blame me. .”
"What a pity!"
Gripped his teeth, another layer of anger appeared on his face:
"If it weren't for that guy Stanford, I would have had a chance to enter the Forgotten City. "
"And that thing..."
Thinking of the scene that day, Hal couldn't help but shrink his eyes, showing fear, and subconsciously drove away.
The Black City is a closed city, and no one can enter except for the caravan once a month.
Less entry and exit.
It is inevitable that the road will be difficult.
Especially after the rain, the ground is full of mud, making it difficult for even strong horses to pick up speed.
Unknowingly.
Hal came to a narrow mountain road.
Although there is not a thin line of sky here, there are low hills on both sides of the road. At this time, there is deathly silence all around.
"Whoosh!"
A sudden sound broke the silence.
Huh?
Hal was worthy of being a member of the city guard corps. As a peak knight, even though he was exhausted and injured, he responded instantly.
Draw the sword!
Swing!
“Peng!”
A flash of light hit the sword blade and exploded on the spot.
There was more than one glow, but a series of shots, and the target was not Hal, but the mount under his crotch.
Arcane Missiles!
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
A glow comparable to a powerful crossbow shot out one after another.
The narrow mountain road lacked room for shelter. Even though Hal was very capable, he was still unable to protect himself completely.
"Poof!"
A flash of light penetrated the front hooves of the mount.
"Lülu..."
The war horse screamed in pain, and its body lost its balance and fell heavily to the side.
"Damn it!"
Hal jumped up, roared and rushed towards the hillside.
It was the man on the hillside who did it.
"Peng!"
The soil on the ground exploded as he exerted force under his feet. Hal was like a crazy leopard, fast and crazy.
The distance between the two quickly closed.
Karl stood on the top of the mountain and gently clasped his fingers downward.
Witch trap - sludge!
In an instant.
The ground ahead ripples like water waves, and the soil rotates, turning into mud that can sink everything.
Witchcraft traps are a common method used by wizards. They are usually placed near their own manors and residences to serve as warnings and resist intruders.
Karl is also a newbie.
The witchcraft traps he can learn are not very powerful, but if used well, they can often produce unexpected results.
Just like now.
“Pa!”
The location of the trap was very tricky, and Hal, who jumped up, inevitably fell into it.
After landing, not only could I not use any force, my body also sank downwards, causing my forward body to stagnate.
Opportunity!
Karl’s eyes lit up and he held his breath and waved his arms repeatedly.
Fire Seal!
Fire Seal!
......
One after another, fireballs the size of washbasins went straight towards Hal who fell into the trap, and exploded one after another.
“Boom!”
“Boom…”
All of a sudden.
Fires shot into the sky, and the explosions were deafening.
Even the peak knight is powerless in the face of such methods and can only surrender.
"Huh..."
A strong wind blew through the field.
The wind roared around Hal, and the incoming fireballs and flames were blown away before they even got close.
At this time, he was like a demigod in charge of the storm.
With one hand holding his hand, a tornado that was several people tall rose out of the air and crashed into the incoming fireball.
"Boom!"
The flames exploded, and the fireball and tornado dissipated at the same time.
Seal - Storm!
This is the seal engraved on Hal's body, and it is also one of the reasons why his strength is far superior to other knights.
However, although this magic seal is strong, it cannot last long. If it is used this time, it will not be possible to use it again in a short time.
“Despicable villain!”
“Peng!”
Hal's feet exerted force, and the mud beneath his feet shook away. He jumped up high again and charged forward with his sword:
"Die!"
"Hmph!"
Karl snorted coldly, first drank two bottles of potion slowly, then took a step back and raised his left hand:
"Guna!"
moment.
A suit of armor enveloped him.
A mysterious warrior with cold and murderous aura all over his body also appeared in front of Hal.
"Is it you?"
Hal opened his eyes and looked angry.
He didn't know Karl, but he knew that there was such a person who ruined his good deeds.
The secret passage in Pit No. 2 was destroyed by this person, and Barnard, Walter and others also died at the hands of this person.
Even the chaos that started in the Raqqa market and spread throughout the city was also caused by him.
Indirectly, the city guards were short of manpower and he was unable to enter the Forgotten City.
“How dare you appear in front of me?”
Hal laughed angrily:
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"Shua!"
The long sword pierced the air, The air in front of the sword blade was torn apart, and the sharp scream was like an explosion.
Cloud whale swordsmanship!
It is said that in ancient times there was a giant beast called a cloud whale, which could swim in the sea of clouds and swim in rivers.
It is infinitely powerful and as agile as a swimming fish. The swordsmanship named after it also means ruthlessness and speed.
Howl drew his sword from the bottom up, and the sword light rose against the trend, as if it was going to tear the figure on the top of the mountain apart.
"Peng!"
The soil on the mountaintop trembled.
Karl's body was slightly bent and he rushed towards the sword light.
Secondary magic field!
The power of 2.1 exploded unscrupulously at this moment, and the broad sword was swung, directly cutting out an afterimage.
Combat skill - Gale Slash!
Nine sword shadows turned into a sword curtain, enveloping the charging Hal with terrifying power.
Fighting spirit!
The two of them activated their fighting spirit at the same time. The invisible auras collided in the air, and gusts of wind burst out from the point of contact.
“Dang...”
“Ding-ding-dang-dang...”
Sparks flew everywhere.
The impact was as fast as a rain shower.
The moment they fought, the battle reached its peak. The two men desperately swung their swords to attack their opponents.
"Pfft..."
The broadsword slashed against the armor, tearing the armor apart and bringing out a splash of blood.
"Hmm!"
Hal groaned and backed away.
“How could it be?”
He looked at Karl in astonishment, dumbfounded.
I am the number one expert in the Black City and the captain of the city guards. I have never met an opponent since I arrived in the Black City.
Now,
is at the bottom!
If it weren’t for the second type of seal steel body on his body, which increased his defense, he would have been seriously injured.
“There is nothing I can’t do!”
Karl keeps moving, stepping on the hawk’s feet, using sword skills to slash at his opponents crazily, focusing on the powerful and heavy attack.
On martial arts.
Actually, he is not as good as Hal.
On strength.
He is stronger, but the difference is not as big as expected.
Hal's physical fitness value should have reached two points, but it was weakened by the suppression of the secondary magic field.
And...
Hal was injured and was exhausted from escaping from the Black City, so he fell down below.
“Dang!”
Combat skill - swallowing!
The sharp sword turned into a huge mouth that swallowed everything. The two of them passed each other, each staggering back.
Karl looked at his waist and ribs, and there was a deep mark on the armor.
“Good swordsmanship!”
After praising him, he turned around and looked directly at the opponent:
“What a pity!”
Fire Seal!
"Boom!"
A ball of flames instantly wrapped the broad sword in his hand. From a distance, Karl seemed to be holding a huge flaming sword.
No!
It’s not like that!
That is a huge flaming sword.
The fire burned, and the high temperature made the grass wither and the earth dry, making Hal feel like he was next to a furnace.
Karl is also not immune.
But the potion he just poured into his mouth was a bottle of refractory powder that he bought at a large price from Sibel.
The effects of the refractory medicine appear, and the body feels like it is immersed in water, isolating most of the heat. Even if a small amount of heat penetrates in, it will not have any effect as long as the medicinal effect lasts.
"Peng!"
The soil exploded.
Karl rushed out again.
Gale Wind Swordsmanship!
Strong winds swept through, flames flew, and the shadow of the sword fell heavily, as if even the air was ignited.
Hal was already at a disadvantage, so he tried his best to resist, but still couldn't hold on and kept falling back.
This time.
Even if he displays exquisite combat skills, he can't conceal his decline, and his defeat is certain.
“Peng!”
The two swords collided with great force.
"Get out of here!"
Hal roared angrily, his eyes suddenly turned red, and dense lines appeared on his cheeks.
Huh?
Karl groaned and flew back.
Obviously he had the upper hand and was about to kill his opponent with his sword, but Hal's power suddenly surged.
If Hal's value was 2 before, then...
It is 2.3,
or even 2.4!
Even with the weakening of the secondary magic field, it is still no less than Karl. This is simply unreasonable.
“What is this?”
"Secret skill!"
Hal gasped desperately, taking the opportunity to adjust the life breath in his body:
"Every excellent breathing method will have a corresponding secret skill, which can stimulate the life force to the greatest extent. . ”
“Your power is very strong, but your inheritance is too poor, so you can’t touch it at all.”
He saw it clearly.
Karl's strength is stronger than him, but his martial arts level is extremely low, and he is not even outstanding at the knight squire stage.
Being able to defeat yourself depends entirely on being strong enough and that invisible and strange force field.
“Oh!”
Carl’s eyes contracted:
“Every superior breathing method is there?”
The opponent's strength suddenly increased sharply, which made him somewhat reluctant to retreat, so naturally he didn't mind delaying the fight.
This interception was because I felt I had a chance of winning and I was well prepared. Now the situation has changed.
Continue,
Relying on the means at hand may not have no chance of winning, but it is too risky, which is not in line with his character.
“That’s right.”
Hal is not in a hurry to take action. He needs to adjust:
"I'm afraid you don't know at all. Life seeds also have levels. The life seeds condensed by superior breathing methods contain the origin of life. Only those who practice superior Only through the breathing method can one become a great knight or a legendary knight.”
“The breathing method I practice is called. The Holy Pattern Breathing Technique is simplified from the Baixiang Furnace Breathing Technique."
After a brief adjustment, his breathing gradually became smoother, and the fighting spirit in his body became more concentrated:
“Only by mastering the essence of breathing method can we stimulate the origin of life and manifest its profound meaning.”
"That's the secret skill!"
"So that's it." Karl understood, his eyes flashed and said:
"You tell me so much, are you delaying time for yourself?"< br>
“That’s right!”
Hal nodded:
"It's a pity that you are so stupid that you didn't realize it until now. Don't you think it's too late?"
"Heh..." Karl chuckled:
"The villain dies from talking too much. , This is indeed true."
"In fact, I had planned to retreat, but thanks to your blessing, I unexpectedly received the goods."
"Excellent breathing method..."< br>
"Me too!"
Poof!
Poof!
......
The heart in the body suddenly accelerated, and the pure breath of life flowed to the limbs and bones along with the blood.
The next moment.
“Hmm!”
Karl’s neck was raised high and his body was trembling slightly.
“Crack!”
“Crackling…”
In Hal's eyes, the other person seemed to have taken a breath and suddenly began to grow taller and bigger.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a three-meter-tall giant.
Iron Giant!
"Secret skill?"
Karl raised his left hand and looked at the palm of his hand.
Thanks to the automatic assembly magic of the armor on his body, his body size has become larger, and the armor has also become larger, without affecting his movements.
"Need I to say..."
"Thank you?"
"Boom!"
The soil under my feet exploded, and the rocks below also exploded. Showing cracks, the giant in armor pounced on Hal.
The broad sword that originally needed to be held with both hands looked like a short sword in Karl's hands at this time.
A short sword wrapped in flames.
"Peng!"
The two swords collided.
Hal was shot straight away like a cannonball.
If he were in the God's Domain Fragment and summoned the data panel, Karl would find that his values had changed rapidly.
Physique: 3
Compared with the previous 2.1, it has increased by 0.9!
Although he couldn't see the specific numerical value, he could feel how terrifying his power was.
“It seems that what you said is not entirely right.”
Karl held his left hand empty, waving the 'dagger' to chop at the opponent, and said:
"Different breathing methods have different secret skills, and the breathing method I practice is obviously better."
“Poof!”
Hal vomited blood and staggered backwards:
“This is impossible!”
"I said it." Karl chased with his sword, and the huge figure was like an ancient giant reappearing in the world:
"Nothing is impossible!"
Angrily slashed!
Cut!
……
"Peng!"
"When..."
"Death!"
The broad sword was raised horizontally, Hal's body was split in two from the abdomen, and the upper body flew out Spray a lot of blood.
Karl stood stunned on the spot, and then came back to his senses after a pause.
Win!
"Huh..."
As soon as the strength was released, the huge body began to shrink, and a feeling of weakness emerged in his mind.
Although the secret technique is powerful, it is obtained by squeezing the potential in a short period of time and cannot be used for a long time.
Karl calmed down, stepped forward, and picked up the package from Hal.
The big package was divided into three smaller packages.
In one of them are two black iron pieces.
Huh?
Karl’s eyes lit up.
His Djinn Breathing Technique comes from a similar piece of iron, but the content on it is obviously different.
Without looking carefully, he put away the iron piece and unwrapped the other two small packages.
One of them contained four fist-sized round pieces of metal, similar to coins, but larger.
The other held a wooden box filled with meatballs.
Large coins?
Meatballs?
Carl shook his head.
They are all things I have never seen before, but for Hal to carry them with him at this time, I believe they are definitely extraordinary.

Vitelli City.
Aya and the others stood at the ‘city gate’, looking at the people coming in and out, with different expressions on their faces.
"Sister." Xiaonan said in a low voice:
"This is Vitelli City? The legendary City of the Sun? The Port of Freedom?"
"Yes. ”
Aya’s voice was hard:
“It’s right here.”
“It’s not as good as I thought.” Leon said:
“Apart from the fact that there are more people, this place The buildings are not even comparable to those in the Black City. "
There are former houses on the ground in the Black City. There are various three-story buildings and towering towers everywhere, which are in disrepair and dilapidated.
What you see in front of you...
As far as the eye can see are houses made of wooden planks haphazardly put together, an area composed of various shacks, and narrow streets and alleys that are like a maze.
On the ground.
Rotten rats and dead fish were everywhere, urine and feces were piled up randomly, and the disgusting stench could be smelled from a distance.
The road has no stone slabs, and the steps are muddy. The lower areas have become sewage ditches where feces and water are concentrated. The water inside is purple and black, and there are also buzzing flying insects. Flying and spinning.
The clothes worn by pedestrians on the road were not good, mostly made of linen, and many people did not even have shoes.
It doesn’t matter.
A few of them had no shoes, and their hair was disheveled. They looked just like the people in the city, but they did not attract the attention of others.
"The environment is a bit bad, but there is freedom!"
Aya spoke, as if she felt that these words were not convincing enough, and walked forward and said:
"Maybe the environment in the city can be better. Everyone should be careful about the things around them. There are thieves here too."
Just now, she saw at least three pickpockets.
These people are very skilled in stealing things, and after being discovered, some people come forward to buy time to escape.
Obviously an organized thief!
“Sister.”
Xiaonan took a step forward:
"What should we do next?"
"Find a place to stay first." Aya looked around:
"After ensuring safety Let's investigate the environment here, and then... wait for the uncle to come."
"What if the uncle doesn't come?" Leon said.
Several people could not help but remain silent.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Aya took a deep breath, with a bright smile on her face:
“We were different in the Black City when Uncle Karl didn’t come. Life is the same now."
"No!"
She shook her head slightly:
"Now Xiaonan is a knight's attendant, Leon, you also have the seal, and we still have things brought from the Black City."
"At least it's not difficult to live on. .”
“Yes.”
A few people nodded.
If Karl is the backer of their small team, then Aya is their pillar.
Without Karl, they may feel confused about the future and lack a certain sense of security.
If Aya is lost,
the team will cease to exist!
As long as Aya is still there, they can unite together and have the confidence to move forward step by step together.
…………
The high tower in the city.
A burly figure stood on the top of the tower, opening his hands to embrace the figure coming from a distance.
“Welcome to Vitelli City!”
“My dear people!”
