This was a real villain, suspicious, fickle, untrustworthy, and vicious.
When his left hand was still making an inviting gesture, his right hand had already launched an attack.
In the next second, the stone that was faster than a cannonball penetrated Hong Hu's body …
"Huh?" However, Blackbeard, who saw this scene, showed a hint of surprise.
"Hmph … Better than I thought." Immediately afterward, Mad Eye, whose ability was restricted by the shackles, also commented with a sneer.
Obviously, only Blackbeard and Mad Eye, the two "captains", saw what Hong Hu did. The officers on Blackbeard's ship, at least three or four seconds after the stone flew out … were all fooled by Hong Hu.
Whoosh!
Soon, the stone that penetrated Hong Hu's "body" hit a tree in the forest and directly broke the tree in half.
When the tree fell, Blackbeard's officers realized that … the "Hong Hu" that was penetrated by the stone was just an "afterimage".
Chi chi chi —
At the same time, the sound of light arrows piercing through the air was heard.
These arrows of light came in a very strange manner. It was as if there were a dozen or so people attacking at the same time from all directions. However, as far as the eye could see … other than the small exploding dots of light in the night sky, there was no sign of Ambitionist or anyone else.
"Oh … I really can't underestimate this group of travelers from another world …" Facing this storm of attacks, Blackbeard stood in the same place as if nothing happened. He even muttered something in his mouth.
When the light arrows were about a meter away from Blackbeard, they crashed into his "air shield" and were disintegrated and dissipated.
Although the captain seemed to be very relaxed, his crew didn't have that kind of god-level passive defense. The officers still had to rely on their own skills to deal with Hong Hu's attack.
For a while, the four of them were also in a mess …
The most miserable one was Nezru. Because in addition to protecting himself, he was also responsible for protecting Mad Eye, so unfortunately, he was hit by an arrow in this wave of rapid attacks.
"It's been ten seconds, it's about time, right?" When the continuous shooting of light arrows reached the tenth second, Blackbeard opened his mouth again and said this.
Before he could finish his sentence, Ambitionist really did reappear.
Hong Hu reappeared on the water like a floating leaf, holding his light bow in his hand. At this moment, he didn't look good … Not the kind of "bad" that "the stone pierced through his body", but the kind of "bad" that "his body" and "his" physical strength and spiritual power were rapidly declining.
"Phew …" After adjusting his breathing, Ambitionist looked at Blackbeard and said with a bitter smile, "Putting aside your defensive ability that makes people despair … your dynamic vision can keep up with me, and you can even see through my moves … This really makes me feel a little defeated."
"Hmph …" Blackbeard sneered, "You don't have to belittle yourself … The Flying Scythe Kick just now was the fastest I've ever seen … Not to mention, you can use that kind of explosive movement technique and continuously make accurate long-range attacks at the same time." He paused, "Unfortunately … There is a qualitative difference between you and me in terms of power level. In the face of this difference, skills lose their meaning."
"Haha …" Hong Hu heard this, and his bitter smile turned into a bitter smile, "Then … I can only try to bridge this gap with my willpower."
"Oh?" Blackbeard seemed to have noticed something from his expression and words.
However, this time … Hong Hu didn't give him time to think and leeway.
It was too late to say, but in the blink of an eye!
A white light flashed, and Hong Hu, who was standing on the water a moment ago, appeared next to Blackbeard in an instant.
"With just you …" And Blackbeard, at this moment, completely understood the opponent's intention.
The second he said the first three words, Hong Hu straightened his arms in front of him and aimed his palms at him.
"… You also want to die with me …" And when Blackbeard said the second half of his sentence, Hong Hu's palms suddenly exploded with a shocking white light.
Boom — —
In the blink of an eye, a ball of blazing white spiritual energy exploded close to Blackbeard's body. At this distance, his "Protective Air Shield" couldn't be activated.
Even if it was Blackbeard, he still suffered some damage.
[Name: Holy Deed, Burning Lotus]
[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Disappears after 5 uses (3/5)]
[Skill Type: Combat Spiritual Art]
[Effect: Overlapping palms, releasing a powerful explosion of spiritual energy]
[Consumption: 1 Spiritual Energy Value]
[Learning Requirement: Combat Mastery D, Spiritual Art Mastery A]
[Remark: One of Zhui Ling Temple's "Thirty-six Holy Deeds", one needs to master the temple's other ultimate skill, "Vajra Soul" to fully display its power. Otherwise, the user will suffer a certain degree of backlash the moment the skill is activated.]
Just from the description, it was clear that the skill Hong Hu was using was not the complete version.
Of course, if he had really gotten his hands on the complete version, he wouldn't even be able to use it. This was because the complete version of the [Holy Deed — Burning Lotus] added the requirement of "mastering the [Vajra Soul Mantra]" to the "Learning Conditions" column.
So, where would he go to find this' Vajra Soul '? There were two ways. One was to find it inside the Thriller Box. The other was to follow the hint in the skill description and find a place called 'Zhui Ling Temple' in one of the scenario worlds in Thriller Paradise and try to get the monks there to teach him.
In any case, this was a matter of luck. At least, Hong Hu hadn't learned it yet. As a result, after using this move on Blackbeard, Ambitionist had unavoidably suffered a heavy injury.
Several seconds later, when the powerful white light dissipated, Blackbeard focused and realized that Hong Hu had once again disappeared. And this time … Blackbeard couldn't even capture the man's presence.
"Tsk … 'Dying together is a lie, so the real plan is to escape?'" Blackbeard looked at the wound on his left arm and grumbled with annoyance.
Earlier, knowing that he couldn't activate the Chi Shield, Blackbeard instinctively raised his arm to block this wave of attack, and the result … his left arm was blown up into a bloody mess, and the wound was so deep that one could almost see his bone.
On the other hand, when Blackbeard was speaking, the four officers under him had just recovered from the temporary 'blinding' effect caused by the white light.
"Ha …" Only Mad Eye saw everything clearly because when his exposed eye was blinded by the white light, he quickly removed his eyepatch to reveal his other eye. (Many pirates would put on an eyepatch for their normal eye. That way, when the light around them changed drastically, they only needed to remove the eyepatch and use the 'spare eye' to regain their sight. Other than that, wearing an eyepatch could, to a certain extent, make the enemy underestimate the enemy.) "You should be thankful that the kid doesn't seem to be good at close combat, and his long-range attacks will trigger your Chi Shield. Or else, your injury would have been even worse …"
"You call that an injury?" After hearing what Mad Eye said, Blackbeard didn't back down. He put on a nonchalant expression and asked in return.
Mad Eye was choked by his words, and turned his head away, no longer taunting him.
"Hmph … You think you're smart, don't think I don't know what you've done …" After a moment, Blackbeard's wound was almost healed. At this time, he suddenly muttered a few words to himself, and walked to Nezru's side.
Nezru wanted to ask what the captain wanted to do, but Blackbeard raised his hand and flipped his palm, facing Nezru's calf that was shot by the light arrow.
Immediately after, a small piece of light gravel the size of a broken diamond flew out from Nezru's wound, and was quickly absorbed into Blackbeard's palm.
"Captain … This is?" Nezru looked at the light gravel suspiciously.
"It's some kind of 'tracking beacon' that he left behind." Blackbeard continued. "Hmph …" He snorted with a fake smile, and then said, "That kid is very smart … The moment I threw the stone at him, he analyzed the situation very clearly.
"From his point of view, if he fought, he definitely had no chance of winning; if he wanted to escape, he had to escape far enough, far enough that I couldn't detect it, then it would be considered safe.
"But … if he retreated to that distance, it would be equivalent to him 'losing track' of us, which he couldn't accept. So, he put on that good show for us just now …"
"Hmm … I see." Mr. Volger heard this and more or less understood. He immediately responded, "From the extreme speed when he used the Flying Scythe Kick … If he really wanted to run, the moment you threw the stone and showed your intention to attack, he could have run away. He chose to stay … Either he had the confidence to win, or he had another purpose."
"That's right." Blackbeard continued the conversation and looked at Nezru who was beside him. "And when you were hit by the light arrow, his purpose had been achieved. Logically, he should have retreated at that time, but he still didn't leave in a hurry … Because he was smart enough. He knew that he had to make at least one more effective and powerful attack attempt to divert our attention and hide the secret he left behind."
"Uh …" Nezru's brain was not fast, but it was much better than the Mark brothers. He could still keep up with the captain's train of thought. "Ha … Haha …" After he figured it out, he laughed. "So now, didn't he work for nothing?"
"It's not just a waste of effort …" Blackbeard said as he crushed the light gravel in his hand and scattered it into the wind. "The last move that this kid used on me … was obviously beyond the scope of his ability. At the moment when the white light was about to cover my vision, I clearly saw … his hand was blown up just like mine." He shrugged and smiled viciously. "Hmph … This is called trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it."
