Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 703 Melee
Boom——! !

The sound of explosions from the collision of pyroxene energy and the Moon Dragon Flame was endless. In the sky, all kinds of long-range bombardments fell like a torrential rain. The burnt smell of burning flesh and blood and the eye-catching smoke rose into the sky. The pyroxene dust in the air ignited into flames under the stimulation of the fire element, igniting the sky of the entire battlefield into a dark red sea of ​​fire.

clang--! !

A sharp sound of metal collision was heard. Inside the flame crystal, the White Demon stomped on the dark steel shield under his feet. His eyes turned into black blood pupils and Xin Lailai's face was reflected. He chopped Xin Lailai with a heavy blow and held him in a stalemate. At the same time, the blood behind him suddenly turned into an evil beast, jumped onto his shoulder, and came towards the black-haired young man to bite him.

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar came from Xin Lailai's mind, and the scene in front of Xin Lailai suddenly turned into a vast ocean of blood. However, Xin Lailai seemed to be deaf to it. He ignored the blood beast that was biting him and at the same time, he exerted force with his waist, took a step forward and raised his sword to block it diagonally upwards.

boom--! !

[Reminder: You have been subjected to the effect of "Blood Qi Explosion". Due to the basic ability of the Heavy Sword Master LV.20, you have been exempted from the effects of "Blood Qi Corrosion", "Blood Loss", and "Decrease in Body Defense" caused by this "Blood Qi Explosion". You will only receive basic blood qi damage.]

[Hint: Judgment completed. Based on the Pioneer's current comprehensive defense, resistance, and damage reduction... the blood damage received this time has been reduced to 1038 points.]

The next moment, a collision broke out, and a golden light flashed. Xin Lailai was like a mountain, standing still as he took the blow. At the same time, he swung the huge black sword in his hand, shaking off the white magic blade and compressing all the blood and energy that hit his body onto the blade. He exerted force with both arms and slashed forward with incomparably terrifying power.

Entangled Blade, Return to Heaven!

boom--! !

The heavy sword and the long knife clashed together, and the heavy blood energy enhanced by the sword's power collided with the violent blood energy enhanced by the blood energy master, bursting out a circle of deep red wind pressure, which swept away all the flames in the area of ​​hundreds of meters. The terrifying intensity of the slashing made the White Demon groan slightly, and his body arched backwards greatly. Then he took a decisive step, using the force to retreat dozens of meters downwards, avoiding the sharp edge of the heavy sword master's sword while his body drove the blade to turn!
Abyss Blade Flow: Destruction!
Clang!
The sharp clanging sound of the sword cutting through the air exploded, and a semicircular slash that was very similar to the sword-drawing slash of the dead man rose into the sky and rushed in front of Xin Lailai in an instant.

Seeing this, Xin Lailai let go of his left hand without hesitation and reached forward without dodging. Amid a series of explosions, he caught the sword light slashed by Bai Mo with one hand and threw it aside. At the same time, he grasped Yuan Mo with his right hand with great skill and turned around to slash diagonally upwards.

Abyss Blade Flow·Blood Dark Dance!

Tangled Blade·Flowing Slash!

clang!
The swords collided, making another extremely crisp collision sound. The white demon who was supposed to be below appeared diagonally above Xin Lailai without any warning, and Xin Lailai blocked this surprise attack accurately as if he had predicted it.

Fierce slashes fell like a rainstorm, slashing towards Xin Lailai from different directions. The bloody long blade and the pitch-black giant sword kept colliding with each other, raising circles of storms in the air.

Dang Dang Dang Dang——! !

Dozens of rounds of fighting passed in a flash. After the two figures collided at high speed dozens of times, the long sword in the White Demon's hand suddenly raised, accurately grasping the backswing of Xin Lailai's slash, and swung forward with a speed so fast that the naked eye could not catch it. Xin Lailai, who knew that he could not avoid this attack, did not hesitate at all, and decisively slashed at him with a domineering slash.

Abyss Blade Style·Heavy Blade!
Tangled Blade·Domineering Slash!

boom--! !

Pitch-black dark steel shadow lightning arcs and demonic power exploded together, interweaving into a black storm in mid-air. After a brief stalemate, Xin Lailai's figure flew out of the storm with a bang, while the white demon standing in place groaned, and drops of blood flowed from the knuckles.

Sizzle~!
The bright red blood beads turned into flames and burned out in an instant in mid-air. Only a wound surrounded by dark arcs of lightning appeared on Xin Lailai's shoulder, madly corroding Xin Lailai's flesh and blood.

He has no intuitive abilities, and his demonic power is obviously weaker than the opponent's Dark Steel Shadow energy. These two shortcomings mean that when both sides get used to each other's fighting styles, in the absence of Zero's assistance, he will inevitably be the one at a disadvantage in close combat.

[Reminder: The effect of "Dark Steel Shadow Devouring" has been affected. Due to the basic effect of Heavy Sword Master LV.20, the effect of this Dark Steel Shadow Devouring has been reduced by 89.1%]

[Tip: The Pioneer has been affected by the "Soul Severing" effect. Based on the Pioneer's current soul strength, soul energy level, and soul severing resistance, this "Soul Severing" effect will only cause increased soul damage.]

[Reminder: The effect of "Life Cut" has been received. According to the Pioneer's current body defense and body protection energy strength, this "Life Cut" will only reduce the upper limit of health by 1065 points (78.7% exemption)]

[Hint: Already affected by the "Blood Corrosion" effect, due to the Heavy Sword Sect...]

【…】

【…】

[Hint: Due to the effect of "Dark Steel Shadow Devouring", 558 points of true damage and 372 points of soul damage have been received (increased by 100% due to Soul Slash), 186 points of mana lost, and 186 points of soul energy lost]

Waves of tingling came from Xin Lailai's shoulder. At the edge of his vision, dozens of damage-related prompts were scrolling frantically on the information interface, and the health value on his status bar suddenly decreased by more than 5 points, and the entire health bar also turned gray by about %.

One sword can make more than a dozen judgments, and it covers everything from life limit to soul damage to true damage. With that blow just now, if it were any other fragile person, he would have basically lost half his life. This is the horror of a pure master of techniques + the most top-level inheritance.

"Ling Yuzi, can you spare some time over there?"

"If you just distract yourself from controlling the soul body, it should be fine. Randy is temporarily entangled by the sealer and Senon's silence spell, and he doesn't seem to have any desire to take action."

"Very good, then stay there for now. I need you to come over here to help. The White Mage has too much control over us. He is now used to my fighting style. I am afraid I can't stop him by myself."

'Um! ’

A large amount of communication was completed in his mind in an instant. In just a short time, Xin Lailai made a decisive decision and asked Ling Yuzi's assimilated elves to come over to provide assistance.

When he was at a disadvantage in close combat, the only way to restrain the White Mage was to use spells. However, if he was distracted and released spells when he was alone, he would be actively giving opportunities to the opponent. Therefore, the only way was to let Ling Yuzi do two things at the same time, controlling the soul body over there to restrain Randy, while coming to his side to cast spells on his behalf.

[Hint: Has entered the "Elf Assimilation" state]

The shadows of a pure white cloak and crown fell, adding a sense of sacredness and majesty to the black-haired young man standing in mid-air. On the battlefield, Xin Lailai looked at the white demon in front of him, without saying a word, but silently raised the Yuan Mo in his hand, with the blade pointing towards the opponent, and the black iron feathers behind him spread out high.

Seeing this, the white-haired hunter standing on the pitch-black crystal leaned forward slightly, pointing his blade at an angle, layers of dark red energy smoke rising from his body surface, and wisps of black lightning arcs filled with ominous feelings began to jump on his pupils and the blade.

Instantly, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent. The roar of artillery fire, the roar of dragons, and the sound of mechas flying all disappeared, leaving only the powerful heartbeats of the two and the long breathing sounds of the hot breath. Finally...

Peng——! !

A sharp and piercing sonic boom sounded, and two huge circular air waves exploded from mid-air. The figures of the black-haired young man and the white-haired hunter turned into two extreme afterimages, one black and one white, and collided with each other again at an unimaginable speed.

Round two begins!
……

……

Four hours later.

Eastern Front, space coordinate area 09.

"Ah!"

"Brother Randy, what's wrong?"

"Well~ Nothing, I just felt like someone was talking about me just now?"

A thick aura of death rose into the sky from the battlefield filled with screams and roars of resentment. Above the undead giant, Randy, who was standing at the end of his sight and looking at the old man in a black robe and the man in a tuxedo and mask, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and answered casually.

"Roar--!!!"

"Tsk, these guys are a little too loud. By the way, did Xiaoyun, Acong, and Ming say they were sure they could push through this time?"

A deafening roar accompanied by a visible shock wave erupted from the mouth of a 100-meter-long secondary overlord undead in the distance, causing Randy to cover his ears. At the same time, he casually asked the white-haired little Lolita beside him.

"Yes! Ah Cong told Ah Ming! If the other side doesn't have any other trump cards, based on their current resistance and military strength, they will be able to push the front line in half a day at the latest!"

"Oh, right! Brother Randy, look! This is the doll I just came up with. How about it? Isn't it cute?"

A childish and cheerful voice, so excited that the tone seemed a little different, came from the mouth of the white-haired little Lolita beside her.

The little white-haired girl, who originally looked soft and sticky, seemed to have found something extremely happy. Her eyes twinkled as she spoke. As she spoke, she used her little hands, which were stained dark red by the blood of the corpse, to raise the doll made of human skins of different skin colors to Randy's eyes and asked him expectantly.

"Uh... cough, well, well, worthy of our Xiaoyun, so amazing!"

Hearing this, Randy looked at the little white-haired girl in front of him whose face was full of anticipation. He ignored the "exquisite" doll in her hand that was enough to scare people who had watched countless horror movies awake in the middle of the night. He coughed lightly, touched her head, and praised her with a smile.

The little white-haired girl felt the warm touch on her head, lowered her head, and stammered shyly:

"It's...it's not that great actually. Well...well, if big brother Randy likes it, I'll make a few more dolls and give them to big brother Randy, is that ok?"

"Uh, well...Xiaoyun, I'm glad you have this thought. There's no need to go through so much trouble. Besides, I already have a lot of dolls in my room. If you give me more, there won't be enough space."

Hearing the words of the little white-haired girl, Randy's expression froze slightly, and then he coughed lightly, politely rejecting the little white-haired girl's kindness. At the same time, he casually glanced at the fierce battlefield in the distance and changed the subject:

"By the way, Xiaoyun, how are the spies sent to the west?"

"Hmm... Xiaoyou No. 9 has reached the west. It said that there is also a fight going on over there, and the big brother named White Demon seems to have the upper hand and has been suppressing the big brother named Black Sword."

Is the White Demon suppressing the Black Sword? He remembered that in the previous fights, the two guys were always evenly matched?

After hearing the report from the little white-haired girl, Randy's eyes showed a hint of surprise. His first reaction was that the White Demon might have been fooled again. He immediately wanted to remind the other party through the communication channel, but then he stopped his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

wrong!

Maybe the fellow called Black Sword was deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, and then luring him to remind the White Demon. In this way, he could indirectly make the White Demon suspend the offensive or even withdraw temporarily, playing a paradise version of the empty city plan!
On the battlefield, Randy was thinking quickly. Looking at the battlefield in front of him which was clearly suppressing the situation, the more he analyzed in his mind, the more he felt that his guess was very likely to be correct.

The other party is an old scoundrel from the Sanctuary Paradise, and he likes to disguise himself as bright and dignified in public, so we can never speculate on him using normal thinking.

Although Xiaoyun's ghost scouts have not been able to sneak into the enemy base camp during this period due to the performer's mastery of sealing techniques and soul studies, but judging from the intelligence from other enemy fortresses and the scale of the mechanical legions in front of them and the fighting style adopted by the enemy, the number of troops deployed by the enemy is very likely to be smaller than that of him and the White Demon combined.

In other words, considering the surface of the character, assuming that the opponent's strength is really superior, according to the superficial image that the opponent has created for himself, there is no need to choose this despicable way of fighting that will increase the face of the White Demon and lower his own prestige.

In other words, now that the other party has used this method, it means that in their judgment, the situation has reached a point where it will be difficult to change without using this strategy... or it is full of risks of failure. Therefore, there is no doubt that the combined strength of the two sides is greater than the strength of the other side's single camp.

In this case, the other party's motive for showing weakness becomes very interesting.

"Either that guy really prepared some surprise, and planned to give the White Demon a big surprise after he fell into the trap; or that guy planned to play an empty city plan, and deliberately lure us to remind the White Demon, so that the White Demon or even us will choose to withdraw our troops."

Randy muttered, narrowing his eyes slightly with a dangerous glint in them.

But in the end, he grinned and looked at the man in a tuxedo who seemed to be waiting for something at the end of his sight. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he had already made a decision in his mind.

He couldn't jump to conclusions as to whether the other party was really setting a trap to wait for the White Mage to jump out, or was trying to play an empty city trick, so...

——He decided to give the other side a little surprise in his own way~!
