Quadruple split.

Chapter 2252: Battle Preparation and Fantasy Materials

A flash of purple lightning suddenly appeared in mid-air, and with an almost one-to-one replica of the previous sharp green light, it rushed towards the neck of Xinglong with a fierce force. Not only was its speed incredibly fast, but its momentum was not even a bit weaker than the opponent's [Green Dragon·Instant Annihilation], like the roar of an angry dragon or a thunderclap out of nowhere.

"Oh?"

Xinglong did not think that Mo would be defeated instantly by him, but he also did not expect that the other party would actually return such a sword. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, then turned sideways and retracted his left hand, which had just regained its strength. He used the skill of the leaf-breaking hand to grab the ruthless sword, and his tiger's mouth bit at the blade of the sword, which was shining with lightning, like a giant dragon with its neck raised and a long roar.

This is not a foolish act of using one's physical body to confront weapons head-on. One must know that with the [Emperor Cang's Blue Dragon Will] activated, the blue energy on Xinglong's arm that is constantly flowing and surging like a auspicious dragon is itself a piece of equipment. Not to mention that the quality of the Xiao in Motan's hand has just been upgraded to [Ordinary], even compared with the several pieces of epic quality equipment on him, its performance will definitely not be worse.

In other words, when Xinglong uses his left hand to grab a weapon of ordinary quality in his current state, the one who needs to worry is not himself, but the person being grabbed. If it is just a simple equipment of ordinary quality, it is not impossible for it to be crushed by one claw.

Fortunately, although the quality of the [Xiao] in Mo Tan's hand is indeed ordinary, it has nothing to do with the word "simple".

So, just before Xinglong's left hand was about to close on the edge of the ruthless sword, the Changhen Thorn, which suddenly turned into a short blade, accelerated instantly, causing the former to miss and slash across his neck sharply, leaving a faint trace of blood.

It was still a slash, and both had blades. At this moment, Mo Tan actually managed to make [Xiao] transform from sword form to dagger form without interrupting the skill and continuing the offensive.

It's a pity that because the quality of [Xiao·Eternal Hate Thorn] is inferior to other forms and it is still 'broken' until now, although this attack perfectly hit the vital point of Xinglong, it did not cause much damage, let alone a 'fatal' attack, it couldn't even leave a layer of bleeding DOT for it.

But this was just the beginning. After a successful attack, Mo Tan immediately twisted his body like a slippery loach and flashed into the blind spot behind Xinglong, and in the next moment he half-crouched on the ground, completely erasing his own breath.

【Qinglong·Chuanghua】

As Xinglongtou slapped out without looking back, a green auspicious dragon instantly rushed out from behind him and detonated dozens of spectacular sparks in the air. According to Lujiang's observation on the sidelines, if it were him, even with the toughest Behemoth form, he would probably be beaten to a 30% chance of death after being served by such a dragon.

As for Motan...

Because he squatted down immediately after completing the circling, he was not affected at all except for his hair which had turned dark purple and had grown a lot longer and was messed up.

Obviously, even Xinglong would be deceived for a moment in front of Mo Tan who was trying his best to conceal his aura while holding the Changhen Thorn.

The reason why it was called a moment was because he realized something was wrong the moment he threw that punch without even looking back, so—

【White Tiger Roaring in the Forest】

The black vertical pupils that exuded a murderous aura narrowed slightly, and Xinglong, who had no time to turn around, punched the ground. With a roar like a tiger's roar, a white sharp light with a momentum far superior to the red blood of an ordinary berserker instantly rolled in all directions with Xinglong as the center. Although it failed to cause much damage head-on, it still knocked away Mo Tan, who had already stood up and was about to use the [Red Lotus Blade] to launch an 'execution-style' attack on him from behind.

This is not finished!

【Qinglong·Eclipse】

Without any hesitation, after blowing Mo Tan away, Xinglong immediately turned around on the spot, lightly stepped on the ground with his toes, and seemed to have transformed into a dragon under the wrapping of a ball of green energy, soaring into the sky!

One Azure Dragon Eclipse and one Azure Dragon Catastrophe, this combo corresponding to Rising Dragon and Falling Strike respectively once knocked off more than 30% of Cordova's health in one breath in an individual competition. Even if Mo Tan had fully released [Reverse Scale] and had the huge blessing of [Herrscher's Will], his body was definitely not as resistant as Cordova's steel rune body, so if he was hit by this combo, he would conservatively lose half his life.

But the problem is that Xinglong has already used this trick on Cordova, and -

"These wings are not just for decoration."

With a flap of his wings, Mo Tan easily stabilized his body in mid-air and moved sideways several meters in an instant. At the moment when Xinglong, who was wrapped in the auspicious dragon's energy, was about to lose his strength, he flapped his wings again and rose to a higher place that was several meters higher than the latter.

Then, a violent aura that could rival the evil god of the year descended from the sky and hit Xinglong like a meteor. The momentum was exactly the same as when the latter smashed down [Qinglong·Yingjie] when facing Cordova.

But this time, it was not the Azure Dragon that descended, but ghosts and gods!

【Ashura·Responding to the Tribulation】!!!

The dark purple halberd turned into thunder and fell down, directly chopping Xinglong off alive. At the same time, it burst out the second section of ghost power, forcing Xinglong with his hands folded to half-kneel on the ground, and even defeated the auspicious dragon energy that had been entrenched around his left arm.

However, at the moment when the green light dissipated from Xinglong's left arm, a ferocious tiger head slammed heavily into the Shura Halberd. The suddenly appearing phantom of the ferocious tiger and the devil-like dark purple ghost face crossed each other. Mo Tan, who originally had the upper hand, was eventually bounced back with both hands, and his chest was wide open.

【Bengquan】

With a powerful blow like an iron mountain, Xinglong used his shoulder guard [Lizhan Baihujie] to suppress Shura Ji head-on, causing Mo Tan to reveal a huge flaw. Without any hesitation, he immediately swung a fast and fierce universal skill of the monk system and smashed his right fist hard into the opponent's chest.

Boom! ! !

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of fighting, Xinglong's attack did not successfully hit Mo Tan's chest, but instead hit the center of the two one-handed battle axes, one green and one red, that were overlapped in front of Mo Tan's body.

Even though he blocked the attack, Mo Tan was still feeling bad because he was too hasty in parrying. He was knocked back and forth, a blush appeared on his face, and his blood seemed to be boiling from the shock.

[Qi and blood surging? ]

Xinglong was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that the opponent's face was not only flushed, but even the purple vertical pupils that were flashing with lightning were covered with a layer of red mist. So he immediately gave up the idea of taking advantage of the situation to pursue, and carefully raised his left arm, using the power of [Cang Di Qinglong Yi] to re-summon the auspicious dragon energy that had the functions of attack, defense and force unloading.

And the facts proved that Xinglong's approach was absolutely correct, because in the next moment, the two battle axes turned into a goose-feather knife wrapped with red cloth, which was tightly held in Mo Tan's right hand, and a spiral energy as hot as fire burst out from it.

Although this energy did not seem to have much lethality, Xinglong immediately identified the "resistance" effect in the previous round of outbreak. Although it was not ostentatious, skills similar to [Frost Nova] and [Holy Resistance] could still cause forced displacement to most units below epic level. In the extremely fast-paced battle, this forced displacement was usually equated with the concept of "huge flaw".

In other words, if Xinglong had chosen to take advantage of the situation, he would probably have fallen into the opponent's rhythm again, although... he didn't really care.

"what a shame."

After taking a deep breath, Xinglong clenched his fists again and slowly walked towards Motan. His momentum kept rising in the process. Finally, when he stood about two meters in front of the latter, his strength was just equal to that of the red fighting spirit. "Although I don't know the reason, and it's easy to appear arrogant, but... I still insist that you can become stronger."

Mo Tan, who activated the additional skills of the Wushuang Axe [Blood Release] and the Yanhuang Sword [Yanhuang Gangqi] at the same time, nodded slightly and raised the long sword in his hand: "But many things will not be transferred according to my will."

"Oh?"

Xinglong's expression changed slightly. Although he didn't know if it was an illusion, when the other party said that lightly, he actually caught a hint of anger between the lines. But he didn't have time to think about it, because in the next moment, Mo Tan, holding a knife in one hand, had already fluttered his dragon wings and rushed over -

Then, accompanied by a series of sharp fighting sounds, the two of them fought again in the sky full of sword lights and fist shadows!

……

"Looks like we can give our eyes a rest for a while."

At the same time, Jiu Chong, who had been watching the battle from afar at the edge of the base, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at the winged beautiful girl whose face remained tense: "Want to chat?"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to speak to him at this time. Then he temporarily shifted his gaze away from the fierce battle not far away and asked the petite and cute senior professional player next to him with a pretty baby face: "Now? Don't you care about that at all?!"

"Of course not, but they have already started the 'competition' as you wished, so the situation will probably not change before entering the next stage."

Although her strength is relatively limited, as the de facto coach of the main team of the Red Constellation Club, Jiu Chong's vision is definitely the best in the professional circle, so she noticed that Mo Tan and Xing Long seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding at the first time, and then talked to Ji Xiaoge, and after a simple explanation, she smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, look at my teammates."

Ji Xiaoge blinked, and then found that Xueran had squatted on the ground and started the innocent entertainment activity of "poking mud with a knife". The pioneer also found a tree to lean against to maintain his gloves, and the gentleman began to discuss "aesthetics" with the Lujiang next to him, which was in stark contrast to their serious appearance not long ago.

"Okay, then I'll trust the professionals."

Ji Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that Mo Tan would not be in danger in the short term. He rubbed his sore eyes and asked, "So what do you want to talk about?"

"Anything is fine, but if you want to tell me what I'm most curious about now..."

Jiuchong took out a large suitcase from his bag, sat on it in a virtuous manner, and chuckled to Ji Xiaoge, "That's probably why you were able to approach us quietly just now. Putting aside me and the Pioneer, I was really surprised that someone could get so close to us without Gentleman, Xueran, and Xinglong noticing."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips, resisting the urge to pinch Jiuchong's cheeks. She pointed at the goggles on her head that were acting as a hairpin, and explained, "It's actually a small function of this thing. Although it can only be used for three minutes, my biomagnetic field and aura will be directly shielded during the duration, and I will also gain a layer of optical camouflage. In this way, most people's 'sixth sense' and 'aura capture' that directly act on the magnetic field will have a hard time finding me. My visual sense won't be completely hidden, but I can fly, so unless you keep your head up and chat, it will be hard to find me."

Jiu Chong nodded vigorously, and said in sudden realization: "So that's how it is, Miss Ye Ge is really amazing!"

"It's not bad, mainly because the teacher teaches well."

Ji Xiaoge smiled awkwardly, and subconsciously glanced at Xinglong and Motan who were still fighting in a group, and their movements were incredibly fast. She sighed, "Xinglong is really giving me face. He really wants to accompany our Mo to spar with us!"

"It's not really about giving face or anything like that."

Jiuzhong also smiled awkwardly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I think Xinglong should be using Brother Mo to practice and prepare for the next game."

Ji Xiaoge blinked: "Next game?"

"After all, we have a better chance of winning this game."

Jiuchong said this very subtly, and then said seriously, "If we win this game, our next opponent will be [Windbreaker], and Brother Lusel is known for his ever-changing style. Considering that he probably didn't use his full strength when he met Awakening Dragon in the individual competition, it's good to be able to prepare a little now."

"oh oh!"

Ji Xiaoge clapped her hands and exclaimed, "You mean, because Mo's style is quite changeable now, playing with him for a longer time may help Xinglong gain an advantage in the next game against the captain of Broken Wind Bird?"

"Well, that's roughly what I mean. However, the main reason is that we have already agreed to your request, Miss Yege. Xinglong is a serious person and will definitely do what he says."

"I know, I know. Xinglong has always had a good reputation, but our Mo is pretty strong too!"

"Of course. In fact, Xinglong mentioned it to us several times when he was watching the competition before, saying that Mo's potential is so strong that even he would be shocked."

"hey-hey……"

“So we hope that we can both gain something from this game.”

"That's fine, isn't it... Hey! What is that!?"

"Huh? What?"

"That's it! The black one!"

"Uh... is it ore?"

"No, that's not right, it's carbon!"

"carbon?"

"Yeah! It's the Xinetan that I've always wanted to find!"

"What is that? Engineering material?"

“It’s a fantastic ingredient for grilling!”

"Oh! So it's the dream element that's perfect for grilling... huh?"
