Zhao Yun and Twelve Swordsmen didn't know what to say when they heard the strange answer.
The Flood Dragon's reaction was … He immediately deactivated his Peerless Awakening state and took a big step back. "Damn it … You're lucky today. I'll make you pay for this sooner or later!" After saying this, he turned around and fled into the distance.
Flood Dragon was a rather intelligent person. Currently, the Demon soldiers that he led were all killed by Zhao Yun. Furthermore, he was fighting one against three (he did not consider Xiao Tan a threat, so he did not count him in), so he was at a disadvantage. It was better for him to retreat before he was injured. Otherwise, he might not be able to escape if he continued to fight like this for a while.
"Are we going to let him go?" Xiao Tan wanted to chase after Flood Dragon because he felt that if he didn't get rid of Flood Dragon, he would be a big threat.
"As the saying goes, don't chase after a cornered enemy …" Zhao Yun replied. "Let him go."
General Zhao was good at talking. When he said "let him go", it sounded like they had let Flood Dragon go. However, in fact, they had no choice but to let Flood Dragon go.
Not to mention that Swordsmen's hands had not fully recovered, Zhao Yun was also injured in the battle with the demon soldiers.
If Flood Dragon fought and retreated, they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.
"Uh … Okay." After Xiao Tan heard this, he didn't know what to say. Among the four of them, he was the weakest. In the battle just now, he didn't play any role. Under such circumstances, he didn't want to chase after Flood Dragon.
"By the way, I am Zhao Zilong from Mount Chang …" Zhao Yun looked at the man who scared Flood Dragon and said, "I haven't asked …"
"Are you okay?" Unexpectedly, the man ignored Zhao Yun completely and walked directly to Twelve Swordsmen. He kept his arrogant and annoying look and said with his eyes closed, "Are you okay? Miss. Okay! Don't ask me … You better not ask me! Don't fall in love with me, because the prodigal son doesn't need a woman. The prodigal son is very lonely … "
The moment Sword Sovereign heard the word 'Miss', he was already shocked. He really didn't know what kind of expression he should use to respond … He originally wanted to say something, but the other party was minding his own business and didn't give him a chance to interrupt.
"Alright … Goodbye, Miss," the man continued. "Eh? You seem to want to say something? If not, I'm leaving … I know what you're thinking, but we're from different worlds … It's impossible for us to be together. Just think of me as a cloud that passed through your heart … Just remember this … "After saying this, he turned around. His long robe fluttered in the wind, leaving behind a back view that hid his achievements and fame." Sigh … Another girl is going to cry for me. I'm really an amazing man! Wahahahaha … "
Before he could walk far, this guy let out a silly laugh. This made his forced cool act seem even more lowly …
"Sword Sovereign … Aren't you going to say anything?" Zhao Yun moved two steps sideways and came to Sword Sovereign Twelve Regrets' side and asked in a low voice.
"There's no need …" Sword Sovereign replied softly with a pained expression. "Since he's already gone … Let him go …"
Sword Sovereign was indeed worthy of being the successor of Confucianism. He had an extraordinary demeanor when dealing with people. Under such circumstances, if he were to say, "Brother, I'm a man," then the situation would definitely become extremely awkward. It was better to just remain silent and let the other party leave …
As the saying goes, endure for a while and calm the waves, take a step back and stay away from chuunibyou.
"But … Speaking of which …" Zhao Yun continued, "Sword Sovereign, your hairstyle …"
"It's easy to misunderstand …" Sword Sovereign continued.
"Yes …" Zhao Yun nodded.
"The two of you!" At this moment, Xiao Tan jogged all the way to the two of them. "Thank you for your help."
"There's no need to be so courteous," Zhao Yun replied. "Any enemy of Lu Zhi is my friend."
"I haven't asked …" On the other side, Sword Sovereign looked at Xiao Tan and wanted to ask him how to address him.
"I'm Wang Tanzhi." Xiao Tan also looked at Sword Sovereign. "May I know your name, hero?"
"I don't dare to call myself a hero. Sword Sovereign Twelve Regrets … I'm just a person who asks for swords," Sword Sovereign replied.
"Oh, it's Brother Sword Sovereign. Sorry for the disrespect …" Although Xiao Tan did not know Sword Sovereign, from his style, he knew that Sword Sovereign should be a character from the Thunderbolt Puppet Show. From his appearance, speech, and poem, Xiao Tan could roughly guess what kind of person he was.
"By the way, do the two of you know … how to get to the Demon City?" After some small talk, Xiao Tan asked a more practical question.
"Demon City?" Zhao Yun was confused.
"Uh … It's the place where the Martial Competition is held," Wang Tanzhi added.
"Oh, it's Gu Zhicheng," Zhao Yun said.
"Ah, yes, yes, Gu Zhicheng," Xiao Tan hurriedly replied. He had taken the two words "Demon City" for granted. After Zhao Yun's reminder, Xiao Tan realized that the city should be called "Gu Zhicheng".
"Little brother Wang, are you going to Gu Zhicheng to participate in the Wu Shuang Martial Competition?" Sword Sovereign asked.
"Yes, I'm going." Xiao Tan nodded firmly.
Sword Sovereign heard this and immediately turned his head to exchange glances with Zhao Yun. Although the two did not speak, their expressions showed everything. They both felt that Xiao Tan was going to die.
"Sigh … Forgive me for being blunt …" Sword Sovereign thought for a while and decided to say the unpleasant words himself. "Little brother, I don't doubt your determination to challenge Yuanlu Zhi, but … the threshold of the Martial Competition, do you have the confidence to pass?"
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was quite honest. "Threshold?"
"So you don't know? Then no wonder … "Zhao Yun revealed an expression of realization." Righteous people … need to pass a test to participate in the Martial Competition. "
"Oh?" Xiao Tan immediately asked, "What test?"
… …
At the same time, outside Gu Zhicheng, Wu Shuang Plains.
Originally, this place did not have a name because this was a place that appeared after Yuanlu Zhi distorted time and space.
No one knew when it started, but people had started to call it this way …
In the gloomy clouds, there was a Demon City floating in the air. Below the city … there was yellow soil, dry rocks, chilly wind, and broken bones …
Rivers of magma intertwined in this wasteland. Some huge bridges made of chains and iron bars crossed the rivers of fire, forming a transportation hub.
Broken weapons, wreckage left behind by carriages, skeletons that had been dried by the wind, and so on … decorated this desolate place.
"Below the Snake Demon City, the Tomb of Unparalleled Heroes."
The Unique Plains had witnessed too many earth-shattering battles that could move the heavens and move the earth, and had witnessed too many deaths and departures …
On this day, a lone cold figure appeared in front of a river of fire.
This bridge was one of the four paths that led to the Wu Shuang Martial Competition Arena under Gu Zhicheng. The bridge was heavily guarded … other than 500 Demon Soldiers and 5 Demon Captains, there were also 3 Demon Generals. They were the Hundred-Eyed Demon, the Ox Demon, and the Iron Rat.
The names of these three were derived from Japanese ghost legends. Their original forms had also been revealed in the "Hundred Ghosts Parade" game. However, as the three Demon Generals with common faces, their appearance was clearly in accordance with the form of the game "Unparalleled Orochi".
First, the Hundred-Eyed Demon. Although he was called the Hundred-Eyed Demon, he only had one eye on his face.
His head … from afar, it looked very much like the EVA's, but there were some differences … His skin and armor were grey, while the EVA's was purple. Also, the EVA's helmet was embedded with its head, while the EVA was wearing a removable horned helmet. Also … the Hundred-eyed Ghost's helmet had a circular brim that extended to the back of his head in the shape of a fan, and below the brim of the hat was a leather-made hem.
In terms of body shape, the Hundred-Eyed Demon was much slimmer than the Jiao Dragon. He had the body of a ninja with long legs and a slim waist. His body was enchanting, and he was basically a starving version of Fuma Kotaro. The equipment on his body was also relatively light. Other than the large metal shoulder guard on his right shoulder, he didn't have any particularly thick armor on his body. It was mainly made of cloth and bandages. There was also a tattered dark purple belt on his waist that fluttered in the wind. It was quite strange.
Next, the Ox Demon.
He was also a guy who didn't live up to his name, because his head was completely like a wild boar's head … If there was any relationship between him and an ox, it would be the tusks on both sides of his mouth that were different from the tusks of a normal wild boar. Instead, they grew upward like the horns of an ox.
His body shape was very simple to describe, and it could be described with two words — "Tiger's back and bear's waist." This guy was a typical strength-type demon general. He was as tall as a giant, and his height was more than three meters. His thick upper limbs were comparable to tree trunks, and he held a mace that was thicker than a human's. Other than two gauntlets with sharp teeth and a chain on his waist, there was nothing else on his body that could be considered armor. Obviously … with his skin that was as thick as a city wall, he didn't need any armor to protect himself.
Finally, the Iron Rat.
He … looked exactly like the Jiao Dragon.
It couldn't be helped. He had a common face … As mentioned before, the character model wasn't unique. Even the voice actor was the same person. If the two of them didn't introduce themselves, perhaps only the people in the demon army would know how to distinguish them …
Well, after introducing the demon generals, let's take a look at the person who crossed the bridge …
She was dressed in proper and valiant attire, with a simple and unadorned longsword at her waist. She was a lithe and graceful figure, and her entire body was filled with a murderous aura that was as cold as ice.
The wind swept by, rolling up a light dust. The person seemed to come out of the smoke, but her aura … made people unable to look away.
"Who are you?" When she came near, one of the platoon commanders at the head of the bridge met her with his shield (the platoon commanders were all equipped with shields, while the soldiers usually carried only weapons), and shouted loudly.
"I'm going to participate in the Martial Arts Competition." Ruo Yu didn't answer the other party's question, but stated her intention.
Her tone was cold, and so were her eyes. For a moment, the commander felt a little helpless and didn't know how to answer.
"Another one …" At this time, the voice of the Iron Rat sounded. He walked slowly from the bridge, "Let me see …" As he walked, he looked at Ruo Yu from top to bottom, "I don't know you."
"So what?" Ruo Yu answered.
"Lord Lu Zhi has passed down a message …" The Iron Rat's attitude was also quite calm, "The people who come to participate in the Martial Arts Competition must not be too weak in one-on-one combat, otherwise it will be too boring … So, we have to be responsible for keeping those small fries outside." He paused, "If I knew you and knew your strength, I could naturally decide whether to let you cross the bridge immediately. Unfortunately … I don't know you … "He looked back and looked at the Hundred-Eyed Ghost and the Ox Ghost in the distance," Brothers, have you seen this guy? "
The two didn't speak, just shook their heads silently.
"Well …" The Iron Rat looked at Ruo Yu again and said, "Then there's no other way … You have to prove your strength first before you can cross."
"Cutting you is a kind of proof?" Ruo Yu asked this question in a calm tone without thinking.
"Oh …" The Iron Rat sneered, "Don't worry … I haven't finished yet …" He raised his hand and pointed behind him, "You can choose between me … and the two of them to be your opponent. As long as you can fight with any one of us for ten moves and not be defeated, you can cross the bridge." When he said this, he still looked very relaxed, "Of course … If you can really cut me, that's better. The others will never embarrass you. They will immediately let you cross the bridge. Because … Lord Lu Zhi likes the strong the most. "
The devil generals under Lu Zhi were not afraid of death. As long as Lu Zhi was still alive, they could be resurrected by the power of the Devil King, so they were a little bit unafraid of death.
"Then I'll choose you." Ruo Yu listened to the other party's words and replied in a rather impatient tone, "Can I cut you now?"
"Oh … Good choice, I'm the weakest of the three of us." The Iron Rat laughed, raised the spear in his hand, and put on a fighting posture.
Whoosh — —
In response to him, there was a sword sound.
The soul moved, and the sword edge arrived.
Ruo Yu used the advanced use of [Extreme Efficiency] — [Limit Explosion], freeing her right hand.
This sword was fast, accurate, and heavy.
The sword edge fell from a just right angle, simple and direct, without any skill.
There was no extra skill, nor was there any external sword qi. All the power was concentrated in the sword.
Bang — —
With a golden sound, the spear rose, and the shadow retreated.
After one move, the Iron Rat's expression changed abruptly, and he retreated several feet. His trembling hands and the cold sweat on his forehead announced the tyrannical power of the sword just now.
The Hundred-Eyed Ghost and the Ox Ghost, who were originally bored in the distance, instantly cheered up and looked at the woman with the sword vigilantly.
"Who the hell is this guy …" The Iron Rat, who had regained his composure, was still in shock. "If I hadn't instinctively blocked with my spear, that sword … would have cut me in half …"
In this script, most of the devil generals under Lu Zhi were experienced and knowledgeable. They had fought with many masters from different universes and planes, and they had died in the hands of those people more than once. As long as there was a powerful character, the devil generals would have an impression of them. Therefore, after receiving Ruo Yu's move, the Iron Rat was very surprised. This female swordsman was at least a quasi-first-rate master. How could he not know her?
"I see …" Ruo Yu's voice interrupted the Iron Rat's thoughts. "You're stronger than I thought … I may not be able to cut you in ten moves."
"You … Don't be complacent!" Ruo Yu's attitude made the Iron Rat angry. "I was just careless just now. As long as I take it seriously …"
"Don't be stubborn ~" Suddenly, another voice joined their conversation and laughed. "Even I can see that you're scared to death ~"
"Who's there?" The voice came from the side of the Iron Rat. At this moment, the Iron Rat was like a frightened bird, and a little wind made him very nervous.
"Ningning Ninjutsu!" But there was a soft sound, with two cold lights.
The Iron Rat's reaction was not slow. He immediately waved his spear and knocked away the two shurikens.
"Hmph … Here comes a nasty guy." When the other person's figure flashed from the light and shadow, the Iron Rat already knew the identity of the other person.
In the next second, a female ninja appeared in front of everyone. She was wearing a white corset, and her hands and feet were covered with silk. She opened her mouth and said to Rainy, "Yo ~ Miss, your skills are not bad. How about you travel with me?"
Her tone sounded very charming, and she had a strong aura of an older sister. However, her appearance looked like that of a young girl. She had beautiful short hair, a hot figure, and even her voice sounded delicate. It's hard to imagine that such a "cute" woman is a cold ninja in the setting.
Ruo Yu looked at the other party, thought for two seconds, and then … "Yes." Gave a concise answer.
"Oh … This child doesn't seem to like to talk very much." Ningning smiled and said.
After this sentence, she looked back at the Iron Rat. "Hey, the nasty guy over there, can you get out of the way? Our strength should be enough to participate in the Martial Arts Competition, right? "
That's right, but … The Iron Rat has been angered by them, and he can't not get back his face.
"Hmph … You are very confident." The Iron Rat said coldly, "A mere spy can do assassination and eavesdropping, but the Martial Arts Competition is a head-on struggle … What are you doing?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Ningning replied, "Are you going to get out of the way or not?"
"What if I don't?" The Iron Rat said, waving his hand and making a gesture to the rear. The hundreds of demon soldiers understood, spread out their formation, and closed in …
"What? Are you going to disobey your king's order? "Ningning asked.
"Ha …" The Iron Rat laughed. He imitated the tone of the other party and replied, "What does it have to do with you?"
"You …" Although Ningning was angry, in the face of so many demon soldiers, she did not dare to fight.
Just as she was thinking about whether to call Ruo Yu to retreat together … There was a poem in the sky …
"Raise your head for a thousand hills far away, roar in the wind; look for an enemy to fight with, it's cold at the top."
