Arad's Sword

Chapter 240 Blood Shadow Snake

Blood Rage, the Berserker's signature attack skill.

After activating this skill, the Berserker's attack power and speed will be greatly improved. Correspondingly, the physical defense and resistance to magic will plummet.At the same time, as long as the state of blood rage is active, the blood and vitality of the berserker will be continuously consumed and converted into that power.

This is a skill that makes the enemy extremely afraid, and it is also a skill that puts great pressure on oneself.

Of course, for the awakened, the body that has been thoroughly washed by magic power has a certain bearing capacity, and can continue to maintain strong combat effectiveness while resisting the consumption caused by the blood rage--but, time is still not enough. It may be long-lasting, and after this wave of offensive is over, there will also be obvious fatigue.

It can be said that when Ba Qiulan activated this skill, it was tantamount to a desperate battle.

Judging from the current situation where Midi successfully counterattacked and suppressed the opponent, Ba Qiulan's behavior can undoubtedly be regarded as an extremely decisive choice.

But Midi always felt that something was wrong.

In the previous life, would those Awakened who had experienced many battles really activate the blood rage so easily?

No, absolutely not.

The Berserker's speed is not fast enough, and he also lacks the skills of teleportation and sprinting. If he turns on Blood Rage again, it is equivalent to putting a death countdown on himself.Unless it is the most critical moment, no one will activate this skill at will - Berserkers are also human, of course they are afraid of death, besides, it is not easy to reach the realm of awakened ones, and they should be cherished all the more.

Ba Qiulan's behavior is not so much "decisive" as "reckless".

And Midi suddenly remembered one thing - now the two are not engaged in a real life-and-death duel, but a competitive competition in the arena.

Even if you can't beat it, you can always surrender, right?

Why push yourself to a dead end?
Although Midi has never been a merciful master, in the previous ten consecutive victories, most of the opponents had no time to surrender because they were too weak, so that they were all instantly killed by Midi's violent offensive. No chance of begging for mercy.

But at least, the gladiator who specialized in defense survived, because he could bear it, and Midi didn't mean to kill them all.

As for the level 56 berserker in front of him, if he wants to quit, he doesn't even need to beg for mercy, he can fight and retreat, and admit defeat beautifully, why should he do that?
You can admit defeat, but you didn't admit defeat, and created a life-and-death duel, that's all. Most importantly, even if you activate Blood Rage, Ba Qiulan's winning rate will not increase.

For this kind of time-limited skill, Midi can completely use consumption tactics, dodging all the way until Ba Qiulan exhausts his energy, and then come up to give a decisive blow.As a ghost swordsman who wields two swords, Midi's movements are light and nimble. Even if he only uses the skill of Sword Soul, Ba Qiulan, an opponent who uses a bulky giant sword, cannot easily corner him.

Among them, there must be some trap in it!

Thinking of this, Midi immediately activated the Dragon Sealing Sword in her body, allowing her unique aura to spread across her body in a silent manner, forming a four-meter radius invisible to the naked eye with Midi herself at the center. spherical.

This spherical shape has no defensive power, and it will not be noticed by others. The only function it can play is to be vigilant.

No matter how fierce the battle in front of him is, as long as a mosquito enters the sphere, Midi can still detect it.

Let me see, what are your abilities!

After arranging everything, Midi sneered, and directly performed a "three-in-a-row" move in the air. With the help of the power brought by the skill, the whole person escaped from the battle circle with ease, and opened the gap between him and Ba Qiulan. distance between.

In order to prevent Ba Qiulan from discovering what she had noticed, Midi adopted the most standard way of coping with the blood rage—delaying time.

Before Midi escaped her attack range so easily, Ba Qiulan's complexion immediately darkened, but in this gloomy complexion, there flashed a sneer of success.

"Do you think you can run away like this?" Ba Qiulan let out a heavy growl on purpose, and sneered, the ghost on his left arm glowed like blood, and suddenly, a killing intent full of pungent bloody smell permeated wantonly It opened up like a red whirlwind.

Ba Qiulan strode forward, the heavy blade of the giant sword tore through the air, with the whistling sound of violent wind, which made people feel terrified.

Berserker skills, awaken blood.

When the Berserker's vitality drops to a certain level, this skill can be used to speed up the metabolism in the body, so that the speed of the giant sword, the frequency of swinging, and the speed of the Berserker himself are significantly improved at the same time.

With the carrying capacity of an awakened person, this move can be used in conjunction with the blood rage that consumes life force, and it is also the most effective way for a berserker warrior to increase his speed.

It's just that the awakening of blood energy is a buff effect, but it is not an explosive skill. Therefore, even if Midi only uses the sword soul skill, Ba Qiulan still can't force him. The only thing he can do is to shrink Midi. range of movement.

However, at the next moment, when Midi was concentrating on dodging his opponent, Ba Qiulan's shadow on the ground quietly underwent a shocking change.

The mottled figure under the light began to distort gradually, turning into a long snake, cruising across the ground like water, and silently struck towards Midi's feet.

During the fierce battle, Midi naturally couldn't detect this change, even the aura he released around him couldn't detect it.

After all, the snake is a shadow as thin as paper, and it is so close to the ground that it is impossible to detect it.

Not only that, at the moment when the shadow turned into a snake, Ba Qiulan also intensified his attack, and finally turned a straight stab into a slash.The movement of the giant sword widening and slamming, immediately raised countless flying sand and rocks in the arena, coupled with the overflowing berserk blood, immediately made the whole scene extremely chaotic. For a while, even the audience in the stands Even the VIPs in the box couldn't see the real situation of the battle clearly.

This is Ba Qiulan's insurance to avoid revealing his lore due to the exclamation and admiration of the audience.

So far, no matter whether it is Midi or the condescending audience, no one knows that the long snake transformed from the shadow has quietly entrenched on the ground, ready to show its fangs at any time.

Another round of confrontation.

At the cost of her own injury, Ba Qiulan finally seized an opportunity to block him against the silver falling blade released by Midi.

I saw the huge sword in Ba Qiulan's hand slash vertically, and bloody flames were immediately blazed in the air.

Ghost Swordsman skill, Ghost Slash!

It's not that Midi can't fight hard, but since he wants to draw out Ba Qiulan's tricks, he has to follow the other party's thinking, so after a feint, Midi decisively chooses to avoid it.

And at this moment, a black shadow attacked Midi from behind with lightning speed.

This black shadow is the blood shadow snake that has been lurking on the yellow sand for a long time.

This long snake, which was as thin as paper and had no thickness, swelled violently like a balloon the moment it left the ground, and instantly turned into a giant python as thick as a bucket.Its neck unfolded, revealing a bloody pattern symbolizing strong toxicity, and in the huge opened mouth, two slender fangs sprayed out jet-black venom!
If a human being was bitten, even an awakened one would be immediately corroded by the venom into a puddle of flesh and blood.

Thinking of Midi being corroded in pain, Ba Qiulan couldn't help showing a malicious smile on her face.

However, he soon stopped laughing.

The inevitable blow of the Blood Shadow Snake came to nothing.

At the moment when it opened its bloody mouth and rushed forward silently, Midi seemed to have eyes behind her back, and suddenly burst out at a faster speed and dodged away.

Not only that, not just dodging, after dodging the mortal ambush, Midi turned around and slashed the giant snake cleanly and pleasingly horizontally with the sharp sword in his hand!
The Blood Shadow Snake uttered a mournful cry, and instantly turned into a black drop of blood, which scattered in all directions.

Ba Qiulan's face suddenly became extremely pale, and there was an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

And until this moment, those spectators who were patronizing the excitement in the dark, finally woke up like a dream, and found that the two sides had unknowingly engaged in a dangerous and fatal duel with all their strength.

There was an uproar and hustle and bustle in the stands, but there was a dead silence in the arena. The two contrasted each other, forming a sharp contrast.

After several seconds, Ba Qiulan stared at Midi, and said slowly, "How did you find out?"

"Do you think you are covering it up well?" Midi said in a mocking voice, "Isn't it too obvious?"

If a smart person does something stupid, it will be the most conspicuous.

Leaving aside the abnormal feeling brought by Ba Qiulan's blood rage at the beginning, when he changed from a straight stab to a normal slash, Midi was already convinced that there was an ambush.

A master who used stabbing to deal with the enemy from the beginning to the end, suddenly changed his attack method at a critical moment, and threw up a large cloud of dust to cover his sight. If there was no ambush, who would believe it?
When Ba Qiulan thought she was covering up well, Midi's vigilance had already reached the highest level.

And although the Blood Shadow Snake is extremely concealed when it is in the shadow state, but when it materializes and launches an attack, the breath around Midi immediately captures its movement and responds.

Although the snake's movements are really fast, it is only a part of the power of a 56-level berserker after all. It is probably only a small part. How can it be compared with an extraordinary awakener like Midi?
So Midi dodged past easily, not only dodged past, but also turned around with a sword, beheading him.
