Chapter 318 Xia Shou vs. Glendower (Part )

Xia Shou saw the phantom lines drawn by Glendower in his invisible state. The same was true of the axe and sword in the opponent's hands. It was almost impossible to see clearly when they were chopped down.

Just like he can teleport when in invisible state, when the opponent uses a weapon to chop down, the trajectory of the weapon's swing is like the remnant after teleportation.

Except for the obvious outlines at the starting point and the end point, the middle part is a straightened line, like the speed lines in comics, but its power and lethality are not diminished at all.

It can be said that this was almost a supersonic attack, but Xia Shou still reacted. The scorpion spine fully activated his spinal nerves and brain nerves. This extremely enhanced perception even brought him into an invisible state. He had already established a preliminary reflex to the invisible technique.

All the invisible techniques he understood could be used by him as if by instinct.

The Art of Invisibility is the basic technique for the invisible bloodhound's existence. It can switch freely between shadows and lines, and the bloodhound also has the ability to move freely in the blood.

In line state, they look like extremely sloppy and unrestrained sketches, but this state with concrete images is the state that can attack.

Facing Glendower's attack, Xia Shou compressed himself into a flat shadow, changing from a three-dimensional image to a two-dimensional plane, and barely dodged the attack!
"The switching speed is very fast. What about this one?"

Glendower attacked with his four weapons left, right, up and down.

Xia Shou understood why Glendower used four weapons. A sword could only cover one plane at a time, but two weapons slashing horizontally and vertically could form a three-dimensional coverage area, making the evasive method of turning into a two-dimensional shadow ineffective.

Xia Shou jumped and teleported instantly, arriving in the shadow of the nearest building.

He wanted to keep some distance to dodge the opponent's attack.

However, when Xia Shou completed the teleportation, Glendower also completed the teleportation, just like last time!
He remembered that this move was called Hound Step by Glendower.

The heavy war hammer hit Xia Shou's "shoulder". It was a painless attack, but Xia Shou clearly felt that the deformation and movement speed of the hit part of his body had significantly decreased, and the lines were no longer flexible.

How is it done?
There must be a method, and such techniques definitely have a usage process!

Glendower can only use the basic attack methods of the intangible state when in the intangible state, which means that in this state, any of his real spell understanding and supernatural powers cannot be used, so the hound step is also part of the basic application of the intangible technique.

There must be a usage process, but the speed was too fast so I didn't see it clearly.

It must be faster so that the naked eye can see the opponent's most subtle movements.

Xia Shou's concentration shrunk his attention to the size of a needle.

The opponent's attack speed became particularly slow. Although the axe and sword's chops were supersonic, they only reached that level during the chopping process; the initial speed was still normal.

Just like in the ring, the speed of a boxer's punches after accelerating is so exaggerated that it is almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

But before a boxer throws a punch, there will be obvious signs of muscle movement in the shoulder and waist areas. Professional boxers can predict the next attack trajectory by the opponent's posture.

If you understand it in this way, you can think of it as just fighting with someone who is extremely fast after making a move, and all the game must be completed before the other party makes a move.

In this regard, Xia Shou knew that he had an advantage. In order to train Scorpion Spine, he practiced with the top human boxing champion for several days. His fighting skills and movement prediction had reached the pinnacle that mortals could achieve.

He could see that Glendower's sword attack was only half-baked. His four hands did give him a strong attack frequency, but in slow motion, each of his movements was not the optimal solution.

"Using speed lines to kill, can I do the same?"

Xia Shou quickly waved his hand in the air. This was an empty swing, with no intention of attacking, just to leave his own speed line in front of Glendower's slashing trajectory.

The next second, Glendower's sword fell as expected. The lightning-fast blow paused for a moment when it touched Xia Shou's speed line, and then fell immediately.

It’s like the motion frame is frozen for half a second the moment it touches the speed line.

I see, this is how you fight in the invisible state!

It is not the invisible lines themselves that are used for defense, but the dotted lines drawn by the line trajectories that are used for defense!

As long as each slash can be delayed for half a second, he can dodge all attacks!
Xia Shou kept swinging in the air and moving his feet like a boxer, while Glendower continued to attack silently, but was repeatedly dodged by Xia Shou's defense.

"So that's how it is." Glendower suddenly realized, "Sometimes you really need a sparring partner."

Xia Shou could hear the other party's excitement.

In this era, after Rosa's death, Glendower is probably the only human who has mastered the art of invisibility.

Although he developed the hound step, a ghostly combat technique, and thoroughly studied the principles of attacking in an invisible state, he did not notice it and could not conduct in-depth research on combat interactions due to the lack of an opponent.

Xia Shou's appearance instantly made him understand areas that he had never noticed before!

"You might be a genius to be able to notice it in such a short time," Glendower praised.

Glendower swung his sword again.

Xia Shou had already laid out residual speed lines on the corresponding trajectory, and the half-second pause was enough for him to prepare for the next defensive measures.

But the next second, when Glendower's sword was about to touch the speed line, he disappeared!
Then Xia Shou felt a strange "feeling" of being hit on his other shoulder.

How can it be? !
Can Hound Step be used even if he doesn't teleport long distance?

Xia Shou immediately performed a long-distance teleportation, rushing from one shadow to another.

Of course he knew that this would have no effect and he would still be caught up, but he had to see clearly the opponent's movements and techniques.

If he didn't understand the principle of the hound's pace, he would never be able to defeat Glendower.

Both shoulders are now seriously injured, but there is still a chance to commit suicide and reset it. Before that, we must understand the principle of the hound's step!

Xia Shou continued to move at high speed, and the scorpion spine was constantly improving his five senses. During the teleportation process, the scenery around him did not appear as elongated smooth blocks of color, but as concrete images.

Xia Shou felt that his extreme movements became very slow. He knew that this was because his thinking and reaction speed had exceeded the maximum speed that his body could reach. Only when he teleported would his thinking not be able to keep up.

"So that's how it is. I understand." When Xia Shou saw himself rushing towards the next shadow, he was in the form of a mess of lines.

And when Glendower rushed to the next shadow, it was a bunch of straight lines.

Xia Shou knew how to use the hound step.
