The sound of footsteps could be heard. Seven or eight Undead Soldiers appeared from the staircase and rushed towards Bai Xiaowen.
Lord March's face was filled with pride, but before his smile could bloom, it turned into panic.
Bai Xiaowen put away the Desert Eagle, lowered his head, and charged forward like a bull. He opened his arms wide and grabbed March in a bear hug. The impact of the 18 points of Strength made both of them lose their footing and fall off the balcony!
Lord March was a Level-5 Magician. His Strength was about the same as Bai Xiaowen's, but he didn't have Bai Xiaowen's Level-5 Grappling ability. Not to mention, the + 4 effect of the [Yamazaki Ryuji's Combat Gloves] also increased Bai Xiaowen's Strength by 4 points when he threw and grabbed.
March was held tightly and couldn't break free. He fell to the ground in a sorry state.
While falling, Bai Xiaowen maintained his kneeling position on Lord March's chest. March felt a sharp pain in his sternum and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He suffered the double damage from the fall and the heavy weight. Even his sternum was almost crushed!
However, as a Magician, March's Spirit was high. He could still think calmly under the intense pain. After falling to the ground, he rolled and tried to distance himself from Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen wouldn't let him do as he wished. He had already closed in on March like a shadow and punched at his shoulder.
March instinctively dodged, but Bai Xiaowen's attack was a feint. He pulled back his fist and raised his leg. A powerful kick made March's body float. Then, Bai Xiaowen thought of a move. He used it without hesitation.
Bai Xiaowen leaped up lightly and kicked his left leg sideways, kicking Ma Qi several inches off the ground. Then, Bai Xiaowen twisted his body and followed up with a kick with his right leg. March's body was kicked even higher. His whole body was numb and stiff. He was in a state where he couldn't defend himself!
Kusanagi Sect Ancient Martial Arts – 75 Forms (Modified)!
Bai Xiaowen's kicks were still a little shaky. After all, he relied on his Inferno bloodline and the instincts of the Kusanagi sword to use the ancient martial arts of the Kusanagi school. He was like a young swordsman who practiced according to a sword manual. He had not reached the level of familiarity and ease like Kyo Kusanagi.
If Bai Xiaowen was facing a melee opponent, even if the opponent was only a Level 5 Elite, he might not be able to successfully complete this move. However, he was facing Red Leaf Hill's Lord March, a powerful Spell Caster who was weak in close combat!
As a lord and a noble Magus, March had always thought that using swords and fists to fight was the way of barbarians, and he disdained to do so. Moreover, he was surrounded by a large number of guards, so he didn't have the chance to practice his fists.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen's rusty martial arts moves were able to hit Ma Qi more smoothly.
Thud! Bai Xiaowen landed lightly on the ground. When he saw Ma Qi floating in the air, he used Dark Whisk without hesitation. The flames swam close to the ground and wrapped around Ma Qi's body. The explosion caused Ma Qi to cry out in pain and fly away.
Bai Xiaowen sighed inwardly. If it was Kyo Kusanagi, he would be able to follow up the "75 Forms (Modified)" with a deadly "Orochi" move! However, Bai Xiaowen couldn't do that. In the end, other than the shortcomings of Strength and Dexterity, the proficiency of the skills was also a big problem.
Bai Xiaowen quickly rushed over, not giving March any time to catch his breath. Bai Xiaowen displayed his Level 5 Fighting Ability, beating March to the point where he couldn't stop complaining.
Ma Qi hurriedly controlled the undead guards to protect his master. However, his guards had already climbed up to the third floor of the tower and were coming down from the stairs. It would take a few more seconds for them to arrive.
Under Bai Xiaowen's beating, it was difficult for Ma Qi to even use his skills. He could only wait for a few more seconds. These few seconds were extremely long for Ma Qi.
If it were any other melee Awakened, they would never be able to force Ma Qi to this point. Ma Qi only needed to use a crowd-control skill to restrain his opponent. After distancing himself, he could cast a powerful spell to kill his opponent.
However, Bai Xiaowen's Sincere Heart was already stacked to the maximum, so he had a 50% immunity to crowd-control skills! His Heroic Mode wouldn't be at a disadvantage against Ma Qi. His Spirit attribute wasn't much lower than Ma Qi's, so the duration of his crowd-control skills was extremely short. It was impossible for him to distance himself!
It was Ma Qi's bad luck to encounter Bai Xiaowen, a melee Awakened who specialized in Spirit.
When the undead guards appeared at the entrance of the tower and were about to rush over, Bai Xiaowen suddenly took out a bronze token and shook it slightly.
The token turned into smoke and dissipated. A tall and mighty bronze statue appeared at the entrance of the tower, blocking Ma Qi's path! Bai Xiaowen used the last use of the bronze statue token without hesitation.
The undead guards attacked with all their might. Although they were Elites, as Ma Qi's guards, their specialty was defense and protection. Attacking was only their weakness. The bronze statue had thick skin and thick flesh, and it had an area-of-effect skill. It was really the best choice to block the door.
Moreover, the bronze statue enjoyed the 20% attribute bonus of all summoned creatures from Bai Xiaowen's Spirit Master. In addition, Bai Xiaowen's Spirit was much stronger than before, so the bonus effect was even more powerful. It was afraid of magic damage, and its natural metal skin had extremely high defense against physical attacks.
With the undead guards' attack power, it would definitely take a long time to take down the bronze statue.
Bai Xiaowen seized the time and gave Lord Ma Qi a memorable fighting lesson. Ma Qi's HP slowly decreased.
On the other side, the battle in the ruins of the Lord's Mansion's front hall was even more intense.
Without the threat of Ma Qi's long-range casting, Jerick, the Terror Knight Commander, was suddenly put into a passive position. Although his skills were powerful, his Spirit was limited. After using his ultimate move, he could only rely on the two passive skills, Double Strike and Blood Enslavement, to fight.
However, the negative consequences of Bai Xiaowen's departure were obvious.
Jerick, the Terror Knight Commander, had 46 points of Strength and could crush almost everyone. Although his attack frequency was slow, each strike was terrifying. The bandits that were hit by his sword were either killed or heavily injured! After killing a few hot-blooded and fearless bandits, the others were frightened. When they attacked, they often slowed down by half a beat, as if they were not putting in effort.
If Bai Xiaowen was here, with his strong control of the overall situation, he could easily notice this sign and take appropriate measures to boost the morale of the bandits, making them fight with their lives on the line. However, those who stayed, whether it was Li Shuyi or Bonita, did not have such talent.
As for Zombie Doctor … Since the beginning of the battle, Bai Xiaowen had called him back. In such a dangerous battlefield, one more zombie would not be of much use, and the loss of his accidental death was quite unbearable.
After the bandits became fearful, Li Shuyi, who had been fiercely attacking, undoubtedly attracted Jerick's attention. He slashed down with his heavy sword twice in a row, attacking Li Shuyi, making Li Shuyi look quite miserable.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen was also paying attention to this battlefield, and immediately ordered Bonita to use the Holy Seal of Protection.
A layer of holy light enveloped Li Shuyi. Jerick swung his greatsword and landed on the Holy Light. However, it was as if he had struck a layer of extremely tough and thick leather, and his sword slid to the side. Two words appeared above Li Shuyi's head — Immune!
However, the Holy Seal of Protection only lasted for a few seconds.
Then, Bai Xiaowen's voice, supported by his Spirit, sounded in Kitts' ears.
"Kitts, make those maggots hold on! Ma Qi, that trash, can only hold on for a minute at most! I'll be right back after I kill him! "
Kitts received Bai Xiaowen's Spirit message, and his confidence was greatly boosted. He shouted, "Brothers, the Lord says that Ma Qi is almost done for! We're definitely going to win this battle! Keep your eyes peeled and protect Miss Charlotte. If anything happens to her, we'll all be skinned alive by the Lord! "
The bandits, who had been in a state of panic, immediately came back to their senses. Yes, no matter who died, the Lord's sister could not die.
Hearing that Ma Qi was about to die, the bandits' morale was boosted. Although they were still a bit timid when facing Jerick, at least they performed much better than before. They all brandished their swords and knives, adding more wounds to Jerick's body.
In fact, the situation on Bai Xiaowen's side was far from optimistic.
At the moment, the guards of the undead army still had the upper hand in the central square. Although they were rather far from the western tower, many undead guards still hurried over at Lord March's summons. Once Bai Xiaowen was surrounded by the undead guards, Ma Qi would be able to free himself and cast a few powerful spells, which would be enough to empty Bai Xiaowen's life.
Moreover, even without the interference of the undead guards, Bai Xiaowen wouldn't be able to finish off Ma Qi within a minute if he suppressed him and beat him up wildly. The reason he'd told Kitts that was to give the bandits confidence in victory and raise their morale.
In that situation, if Bai Xiaowen had shouted that the situation on his side was bad and forced Kitts and the others to help, it might have had the opposite effect.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and communicated with Li Shuyi with his Spirit.
"It's time, use that move."
Li Shuyi was a bit surprised. She quickly realized that the situation on Bai Xiaowen's side wasn't optimistic. If the situation was optimistic, Bai Xiaowen wouldn't let Li Shuyi use "that move" no matter what — that precious one-time trump card!
Li Shuyi pursed her lips and nodded. A diamond-shaped mark on her right hand flickered with light and was slightly hot.
Suddenly, a powerful battle intent awakened in Li Shuyi's body. Her right hand was blazing hot as she held the refined rapier. It felt connected to her body by blood, as if it was an extension of her arm.
A notification came from the Spirit Realm:
"You've activated [Zhao Yun's Mark]. You can temporarily display part of the strength and battle techniques of the Lord level Fierce General Zhao Yun (limited by your attributes). Duration: 30 seconds! "
"Your advanced specialty: Close Combat has temporarily been raised to level 10!"
"Your advanced specialty: One-Handed Sword Technique has temporarily been raised to level 10!"
"Your advanced specialty: Shooting has temporarily been raised to level 10!"
"You've temporarily obtained an advanced specialty: Polearm Weapon has temporarily been raised to level 10!"
"You've temporarily obtained an advanced specialty: Horsemanship …"
…
After a series of battle ability notifications, the most important notification appeared:
"You've temporarily obtained an unparalleled skill: Combo: Your successful melee attack will cause the target to be stunned and have a chance to be airborne. While in the air, each of your attacks will generate combo points. After airborne, the accumulated combo points will explode and cause heavy damage to the target! "
Li Shuyi took a deep breath. There were too many notifications, and she couldn't remember them all.
At this moment, she could only follow the guidance of the powerful battle intent in her heart. She stretched out her left hand and held the refined rapier with both hands instead of one hand!
Jerick swung his rapier at her, and Li Shuyi took half a step back. The tip of the rapier almost brushed past the tip of her nose! However, Li Shuyi didn't change her expression at all. She swung her rapier with both hands and slashed three inches away from the tip of Jerick's rapier.
Jerick's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion. Under the influence of inertia, his heavy body flew off the Skeletal War Horse. He didn't understand. How could this girl, who looked so weak, have so much strength to throw him off the horse?
In fact, Li Shuyi's Strength was only 16 points, which was only one-third of Jerick's Strength! She was able to throw Jerick off the horse mainly because of Jerick's Strength. She had only used her own skills.
However, after Jerick fell to the ground, he rolled and quickly got up. He didn't suffer any injuries.
After all, skills were skills. This time, Jerick had lost his footing and fell off the horse. It was different from being hit by a throwing skill. If he was hit by a throwing skill and fell to the ground, his entire body would be paralyzed by the power. He wouldn't be able to defend himself and would suffer a lot of damage from the fall.
However, Li Shuyi's aim was only to throw Jerick off the horse. She moved forward with small steps. She changed her posture from holding the rapier with both hands to holding the rapier with one hand.
The confusion in Jerick's eyes disappeared. He roared angrily and swung his rapier.
Li Shuyi had already dodged in advance. The rapier pierced into the ground, and it was half a foot deep. Li Shuyi followed up with a flick. At the same time, she kicked Jerick's calf with her black leather shoes.
Jerick's body suddenly floated in the air!
Li Shuyi's eyes flashed. She then began her familiar attack rhythm. Stabbing, consecutive slashing, stabbing, Judgment Dagger …
Combo * 6.
Combo * 7.
Combo * 8.
The other bandits saw the opportunity and rushed over. They waved their machetes and swords at Jerick.
"All of you, back off!"
Li Shuyi said coldly. There was an inexplicable sense of authority in her voice.
The bandits were originally bold and reckless. However, after seeing Li Shuyi's exquisite swordsmanship and her ability to hang up the Level 6 Boss, the Terror Knight Commander Jerick, they lost a lot of confidence. They didn't dare to argue and quietly retreated.
The combo was fixed at 10, and the damage dealt was 57 points!
One of Jerick's arms was chopped off. There was only white bone at the cut, and no blood flowed out.
