Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

(Use whatever moves you have. Let me see what you are capable of.)

Jiang Ran did not plan to attack rashly before gaining information on all the skills of the Three-Eyed Raven King.

This time, not only was the enemy's level above 200 unable to read the attack intention, but its flying ability was far stronger than any enemy Jiang Ran had encountered before.

Previously, when Jiang Ran challenged the advanced trial for the first time, he had fought with the "Crimson Flame Flying Dragon Young Dragon Fei'er". That was Jiang Ran's first encounter with a ground-to-air duel, and he won after going through many hardships. But now, compared with the Three-Eyed Dark Raven King, the flying ability of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon Young Dragon Fei'er is just like its name, and is still at the level of a young dragon.

Whether in terms of mobility, explosive power or aerial posture, the Three-Eyed Raven King's performance is several levels higher than that of the Scarlet Flame Dragon.

In addition, the Three-Eyed Raven King is very likely to possess a "guaranteed hit" skill that Jiang Ran does not know about, and Jiang Ran's fragile little body has no room for error in battle.

Therefore, if Jiang Ran wants to take the initiative and directly defeat the Three-Eyed Crow King, there is only a very small possibility. If he gambles on this possibility and reveals a flaw during the attack and is killed by the Three-Eyed Crow King, then Jiang Ran will suffer a great loss.

The Three-Eyed Raven King flew back and forth twice in the air, seemingly looking for the opportunity to attack. Jiang Ran steadily activated his "all-round vision", carefully guarding against every little movement of the Three-Eyed Raven King and never revealing any flaws.

The two sides fought back and forth, testing each other for several rounds without direct combat, until the Three-Eyed Raven King lost his patience first, relying on his superior strength, and launched a powerful attack from a superior position!

·

Accompanied by a sharp cry, the Three-Eyed Raven King suddenly spread two of its four wings and shot out a large number of black feathers as sharp and hard as flying knives towards Jiang Ran.

Faced with these deadly knives, Jiang Ran activated his skill "Computing Power Boost·Overclocking" and maneuvered around the mountainside where there were very limited footholds. At the same time, he did not forget to continue keeping an all-round eye on the movements of the Three-Eyed Raven King.

Sure enough, as Jiang Ran guessed, this "Flying Feather Sword Formation" was just a feint. After restricting Jiang Ran's range of movement, the Three-Eyed Dark Crow King immediately accelerated and swooped down.

Jiang Ran could tell from the sharp movement of closing the wings that this move should be the same "Swift Wind Slash" as the Four-Winged Crow!

(Skills I've already seen once won't work on me.)

Jiang Ran didn't even use Shadow Escape Step, relying solely on his observation skills to choose an evasive route. But just when he thought he could dodge this move with his body skills alone, the crescent-shaped wind blade radiating from the tip of the Three-Eyed Dark Raven King's wings spread into six blades as it was released, blocking all of Jiang Ran's escape routes in one fell swoop!

(……!!!)

Without thinking too much, Jiang Ran immediately used Shadow Escape Step and escaped to a safe place for the time being.

Looking at the six crescent-shaped wind blades that could easily cut through rocks, Jiang Ran reflected deeply on himself. He absolutely underestimated the enemy and made the mistake of preconceived ideas.

Is this the influence of "Fearlessness"? It seems I'll need to be more careful in the future...

However, before Jiang Ran could finish his self-examination, the next wave of attacks from the Three-Eyed Raven King came towards Jiang Ran!

9.45 - Countering the Strategy

The sharp cry cut through the air once again, but unlike before, this time the cry also came with the skill "Cowardly Scream", which once again reduced Jiang Ran's comprehensive resistance by 50 points... no, 51 points!

(Damn it, covering my ears won’t help?!)

Jiang Ran suppressed the splitting headache and moved to a relatively open position before the Three-Eyed Raven King could continue his attack. The place where he had just moved to in a hurry using Shadow Step was actually an unfavorable position that could be easily blocked.

But before he could even stand firmly, the Three-Eyed Raven King had already spread his four wings and once again shot out feathers as sharp as knives.

(Is it the "Flying Feather Sword Formation" again?)

Although it was the same skill, Jiang Ran had learned his lesson this time and did not slack off at all.

He keenly observed that this time the four-wing salvo not only had twice as many feathers as the last time, but also that after the collision, these feathers would spin further, causing secondary damage with irregular trajectories!

Faced with these dozens or even hundreds of flying feathers, even though Jiang Ran could see in slow motion thanks to the effect of "computing power boost and overclocking", he still couldn't avoid the attack of each flying feather.

However, he didn't want to use the 'Double Shadow Escape Step' or the 'Shadow Behind: Teleport' here, so Jiang Ran chose to retreat to the "unfavorable position" that was easily blocked, and then quickly raised the heavy beast horn giant sword to block in front of him, successfully blocking all the flying feathers that were about to hit him.

(Thanks a lot, Komono!)

After successfully enduring another round, Jiang Ran immediately escaped from the unfavorable position to avoid being blocked here by the continuous attacks of the Three-Eyed Raven King.

What surprised him was that the Three-Eyed Raven King did not continue to pursue him as viciously as he had imagined. Instead, he took the initiative to slow down the pace, and stared at Jiang Ran with his three red eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

(Are you thinking about how to kill me...? I'm not in a hurry, take your time.)

Jiang Ran decisively seized this opportunity, stepped on the shadow of the Three-Eyed Raven King cast on the ground, and then stole the skill it had just used, which was called "Flying Feather Blade Array·Echo".

(Echo…? A skill suffix? I see!)

After seeing the description of this skill, Jiang Ran immediately understood why the "Swift Wind Slash" just now was a little different from what he knew.

It turns out that just like Jiang Ran’s own skills will have new attributes after upgrading, the skills mastered by monsters also have the same mechanism!

(Sorry, this Three-Eyed Raven King is truly powerful... Even now, there are still three skills that are uncertain, and they are likely to have suffixes.)

(Fortunately, its hatred is now firmly locked on me. If I had to protect that old man and fight Sunshine Flower at the same time, I wouldn’t have enough lives left.)

While the Three-Eyed Raven King had not yet launched the next round of attack, Jiang Ran quickly continued to move to a more advantageous terrain. He could now vaguely feel that his battle with the Three-Eyed Raven King was a competition of who could make the other party surrender all his abilities first.

If the Three-Eyed Raven King can still hold a trump card after Jiang Ran uses all his life-saving moves, then it will win;

But if the situation were reversed, the one who would win would be Jiang Ran.

"Hey, you big black bird, you're out of tricks? Why don't you keep attacking?" (Demon language)

In order to make the Three-Eyed Raven King act according to his wishes, Jiang Ran used the old trick: "mouth persuasion".

Different from the sci-fi-level verbal tactics generally used to persuade the enemy, Jiang Ran's verbal tactics in battle are always aimed at angering the enemy and are more practical.

Unfortunately, the Three-Eyed Raven King turned a deaf ear to Jiang Ran's provocation and continued to think, until it seemed to suddenly figure something out and began to slowly climb higher.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran quietly threw a "high-brightness magic stone" to the side and then lowered his center of gravity to prepare for the counter-attack.

After the battle just now, he had memorized the starting moves of the Three-Eyed Raven King's "Flying Feather Blade Formation" and "Swift Wind Slash". As long as these two skills did not have new changes, he could deal with them with just his own skills and Shadow Escape Step.

However, the Three-Eyed Raven King made a new move this time. It flapped its wings forward continuously, relying on the output of magic power to accelerate the flow of air, and then actually constructed a high-speed swirling tornado!

Under the control of the Three-Eyed Raven King, the tornado began to move rapidly towards Jiang Ran, and kept sucking in everything around it!

(Hmph, I finally got a new skill...)

Jiang Ran immediately grabbed a large rock beside him to prevent himself from being sucked in, then summoned a black shadow clone from a distance and issued a "certain order".

During this period, the Three-Eyed Raven King had already pressed forward in front of Jiang Ran along with the tornado. As long as the tornado continued to move forward at this speed, it would be able to sweep Jiang Ran into the sky in less than ten seconds.

At this critical moment, Jiang Ran's shadow clone leaped out from the cliff and landed behind the Three-Eyed Raven King. He waved the bright magic stone in his hand, which emitted a dazzling light, and cast the shadow of the Three-Eyed Raven King at Jiang Ran's feet!

The Three-Eyed Dark Crow King didn't understand why the black shadow clone jumped over with its bare hands. In response to this self-sacrificing jump, it released the skill "Flying Feather Blade Array·Echo" again, cutting the black shadow clone into pieces in an instant.

Moreover, this was not the end. Those sharp and hard flying feathers spread to the hillside in large quantities, not only blocking Jiang Ran's possibility of escaping from the side of the tornado, but also mixed into the tornado, turning the already strong tornado into an even more terrifying flying knife tornado.

"Yes, it is indeed a good skill."

Seeing that the flying knife tornado was about to blow in front of him, Jiang Ran calmly released his hands that were holding the big rock, then waved his hands forward a few times like wings, and then created a new tornado that was no less large than the enemy's!

(Storm Strike: Big Tornado!)

As Jiang Ran released the new skill he had just stolen, the two tornadoes collided violently, creating an extremely spectacular scene!

The Three-Eyed Raven King obviously didn't expect that the enemy could use the same skills as it did. It was stunned and couldn't immediately follow up with the next move.

Jiang Ran took this opportunity to quickly draw out the Yama Yingqi sword, and when the two tornadoes canceled each other out, he used "Flame Qi Ji" and "Scarlet Dragon Breath" in succession, trying to weaken the vitality of the Three-Eyed Dark Crow King.

However, he still underestimated the Three-Eyed Raven King's superb flying ability. Neither the galloping blue flame horse nor the roaring flaming scarlet dragon could succeed. Even, they couldn't get a single spark on the Three-Eyed Raven King's feathers.

The Three-Eyed Raven King came to his senses after dodging instinctively. It screamed sharply at Jiang Ran as if it was angered. Then, the three eyes on its head lit up red and glared at Jiang Ran in unison!

(It’s finally here, the unavoidable eye technique…!)

9.46 - The End of the Road (Part )

Since Jiang Ran had already guessed in advance that the Three-Eyed Raven King would have the skill of "hit on sight", it was impossible for him to fight it without any preparation.

Just as the three eyes of the Three-Eyed Raven King lit up red, Jiang Ran threw a new and improved smoke bomb towards his feet.

There was a loud "bang!" and white smoke quickly spread out with Jiang Ran as the center, successfully blocking the vision of the Three-Eyed Raven King.

It was the first time that the Three-Eyed Raven King encountered such a situation while using his pupil technique. He reacted two seconds late, and then immediately used his skill "Swift Wind Slash: Splitting Slash", using six wind blades to blow away the troublesome smoke, and he also wanted to use this attack to hurt the cunning human.

However, the smoke was blown away, but the human was not in the smoke. When the Three-Eyed Raven King found the human's location, the human was standing in the shadow it cast on the ground, raising his head and looking at it with red light in his eyes.

——(This guy looks like... could it be?!)

By the time the Three-Eyed Raven King reacted, it had already been hit by its own skill, "Intimidating Glance: Deep Fear."

Although it was lucky enough not to be "eaten" by the "cowardly state" that would make it unable to fight, it was unable to escape the guaranteed effect of reducing all attributes.

Judging from the feeling of decreasing attribute values, the Three-Eyed Dark Raven King deduced that this human should be a fourth-level combat professional, two levels lower than himself.

——(What impact can a mere 10-point reduction in attribute have? Let me show you what a truly intimidating glance is!)

The Three-Eyed Dark Raven King was furious and wanted to use his pupil skill again, but he was obviously blinded by anger and forgot that his skill was still on cooldown.

After feeling that he could not use any skills, the Three-Eyed Raven King finally realized that five of his six skills were waiting for the cooldown to end, leaving only the last sixth-level skill to be used.

—(Should I use… a death song…?)

The Three-Eyed Raven King hesitated. The sixth-level skill, Death Song, was its last trump card, and the cooldown time was as long as 24 hours. If this skill failed to kill the opponent, then it would have no choice but to fight a war of attrition.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Three-Eyed Raven King still wants to leave some wiggle room for himself.

——(Oh, by the way, I still have one card to play...!)

At this moment, the Three-Eyed Raven King suddenly had an idea. He remembered that when he was summoned by an unknown force on the top of the mountain, he saw an old human man there.

Since this human boy appeared on the top of the mountain with the human old man, they are likely to be in the same group. As long as we attack the old man who looks weak, this cunning human boy should reveal his flaws!

"Hahahaha! I found your weakness! Stupid human!" (Crow language)

The Three-Eyed Raven King laughed wildly, then he left the human boy behind and flapped his wings to fly towards the top of the mountain!

·

·

“Ga-! Ga-ga-ga! Ga-ga-ga!”

The Three-Eyed Raven King yelled and flew away.

Jiang Ran originally thought that he was about to force out its last skill, but he didn't expect this guy to suddenly change his strategy.

Fortunately, as a dying person, Jiang Ran was born with the ability to master all the languages ​​of the Prison Star World. He could also hear the last words of the Three-Eyed Dark Raven King in crow language clearly.

(So ​​this guy speaks Crow. No wonder my taunts just now had no effect on him. But, what does he mean by "weakness"...?)

Looking at the direction the Three-Eyed Raven King was flying, Jiang Ran thought about it and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Is this guy going to attack that old man?!

(Damn it!)

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran didn't care about saving his skills anymore, and immediately used Shadow Escape Step to help himself rush to the top of the mountain as quickly as possible!

What he was really worried about now was not the life or death of the old man, but the "worst possibility" that "if the old man died, the trial would not be passed"!

·

The Three-Eyed Raven King was flying very fast in the sky, while Jiang Ran was trying hard to catch up on the cliff.

In order to slow down the Three-Eyed Raven King as much as possible, Jiang Ran would release "Flame Speed ​​Drive" in front of the Three-Eyed Raven King as soon as the cooling time was over. However, the Three-Eyed Raven King was not a pushover and would also retaliate against Jiang Ran's skills while flying upwards.

The "Flying Feather Blade Formation" that fell like a torrential rain, the "Intimidating Glance" and "Cowardly Scream" that weakened Jiang Ran's attributes, and even the "Storm Strike·Big Tornado" came again, making Jiang Ran's climbing and chasing process extremely painful.

In the end, this scheming and chase finally allowed the Three-Eyed Raven King to seize the initiative and reach the top of the mountain first.

After reaching the top of the mountain, the Three-Eyed Raven King immediately began looking for the trace of the old human man, and not long after, it found this soft persimmon on the huge rock on the top of the mountain.

The old human man noticed the arrival of the Three-Eyed Raven King, but at this moment he was carefully digging out the sunshine flower from the crevice of the rock and was reluctant to leave!

"Hahahaha! What a sitting duck!" (Crow)

The Three-Eyed Raven King was overjoyed. He glanced at the position of the human boy and knew that if he took action at this time, he would definitely force the human boy to save the old man, so he decisively used his skill "Swift Wind Slash·Splitting Slash" towards the huge rock!

"You two should die together!"

Accompanied by the Three-Eyed Raven King's cackling laughter, six crescent-shaped wind blades flew towards the huge rock!

Just as one of the wind blades was about to hit the old man, a black shadow clone appeared in time and pushed the old man aside.

However, the shadow clone was unable to block the wind blades of the Three-Eyed Raven King. All six wind blades soon hit the huge rock, and then the cracked rock immediately carried the shadow clone and the old man standing on it down the cliff!

·

(……!!!)

When Jiang Ran reached the top of the mountain, he just saw the old man falling down with the rocks.

He immediately activated the "Computing Power Boost·Overload" which he would not normally use, trying to find a way to save the old man by slowing down the flow of time five times.
