Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

A tough battle in every sense may be inevitable.

·

——(Something is wrong…very wrong…)

Old Man Guiyu always felt that there was a huge blind spot in his situation.

Although the other party kept saying that he wanted to be Lord Tetodaf's successor, no matter the way he appeared or the content of the conversation, Mr. Guiyu did not feel that the other party was sincere in discussing cooperation.

If you must say, the tone of the two little girls' speech is more like the upper class commanding and oppressing the lower class, leaving no room for negotiation.

Old Man Guiyu doubted whether the "cooperation" negotiated with such a relationship could really be called "cooperation"?

Was Lord Tetodaf also forced to agree to cooperate under such unequal circumstances?

As an old and weak fourth-level old man, Mr. Guiyu knew that he had no advantage in speed.

But the fact that these two girls were able to catch up with him without even taking a breath showed that they had at least the third-level strength.

At the age of just over ten, with the strength of the third level, this alone makes him stand out from the crowd in the Kingdom of West.

In addition, in this encounter, Mr. Guiyu was the passive party.

This time, in order to avoid being discovered and followed, he deliberately traveled alone, but he was still caught unexpectedly.

Old Man Guiyu is currently unable to determine whether there are other reinforcements hiding behind these two little girls.

——(What are the origins of these two girls, and what forces are behind them?)

·

Even though tremendous pressure was already hitting him, Old Man Guiyu still didn't give up thinking.

He was thinking, these two little girls were wearing black clothes and masks, hiding their identities to such an extent... Could it be that they were "members of the royal family"?

If a talented child receives royal-level resources for cultivation, then reaching the third level in their teens is not completely impossible...

In addition, if it was really the royal family that was secretly controlling Zhaoye Liuque, Old Man Guiyu would not be surprised. After all, it was impossible for the royal family to allow an intelligence organization with such influence to develop at will.

And... if the royal family intervened, Guiyu could also understand why Lord Tetodaf chose to compromise.

No matter how successful and popular Zhaoye Liuque is in the Human Alliance, they still cannot afford to offend the top forces of various countries.

"Okay, then if we want to cooperate, how exactly do we cooperate with you?"

Old man Guiyu pretended to give in, but in fact he wanted to try another way to get more information.

However, it is unclear whether he did not ask the question clearly or the black-clad masked girls saw through his intentions.

Not only did the other party not provide him with much new information, but they also compressed the space for Mr. Guiyu to pull again.

"Take this pill, and we'll come to see you every once in a while."

The masked girl in black casually handed over a pill, which seemed to have been prepared long ago.

When old man Guiyu saw the purple-black pill, his heart skipped a beat.

In his experience, it was undoubtedly poison, something used to prevent him from refusing to cooperate.

If he eats that thing, he will have no room to maneuver.

"Did Lord Tetodaf also take this pill?"

Old Master Guiyu continued to stall for time by asking questions. He wanted to try his luck and see if the "Trickster" skill would work.

As long as the trickster skills can be effective, he can at least get some information before making a decision.

After all, considering the strength of these two girls and the forces behind them, Old Man Guiyu does not intend to turn against them unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Yes, he ate it too. Stop dithering and make a decision quickly."

The masked girl in black took a step forward, her voice still emotionless.

This way of speaking without any emotion made Old Man Guiyu think that he was talking to a dead person.

Without this crucial layer of emotional intelligence, the old man who was good at observing people's words and expressions found it difficult to move forward.

At this point, Mr. Guiyu decided not to rely on his luck with the "Trickster" skill anymore, he wanted to use some trickery.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I'm hesitant on purpose, but I've already pledged allegiance to Damodardas III. Under these circumstances, it's difficult for me to agree directly."

Old Master Guiyu threw out the name of the king of the Kingdom of West here. If the girls in black clothes and masks were sent by the royal family, then this sentence of his could successfully lure out the background of the two.

"Da...da three or four? I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't care who you've pledged allegiance to. I'll give you ten seconds, ten...!"

The countdown that the black-clad girl suddenly started made Old Man Guiyu realize that no matter what tricks he used, it would be useless.

The name of the King of the Kingdom of West seemed a little too far away for these two teenage girls.

——(Okay, I'm at my wit's end. Is there anything else I can do...?)

Old Master Guiyu sighed, his brain was really tired.

Having to be on guard against sudden attacks from the enemy and thinking quickly is a bit too "stimulating" for an old man who is almost a hundred years old.

Since these two girls in black and masks are completely uncooperative, then old man Guiyu will use the most traditional way to break the situation.

"No need to count down, little unknown girl."

Old Master Guiyu raised his hand to signal a pause, and then gave his opinion.

"How about this, let's have a duel to the point... If you two can beat me, I'll agree to cooperate with you."

Although that's what he said, whether it really stopped there or not... Old Man Guiyu couldn't say for sure.

10.43 - The Way of Whispers

Mr. Guiyu is not a man without strategy.

As a ratman, he has never had an advantage in physical ability since he was a child. He relied on his shrewd mind to survive in the world and finally achieved today's achievements miraculously.

At this moment, the reason why this old man dared to challenge the two unknown black-clad girls was that his most fundamental core confidence came from the fact that he already understood the purpose of their visit.

Old Man Guiyu can confidently say that as long as the other party's "top priority" is not to kill him, he will not be in danger of his life if he takes the initiative to challenge.

...As for the possibility of losing limbs or something, Old Man Guiyu has already prepared himself to pay the price.

·

"Alright, we'll play along if you want to, but if you try to play tricks again after you lose, we won't have the patience to continue 'playing' with you."

After hearing the old man's request, the masked girl in black took a step forward and rubbed her hands together.

Even though there was still no emotion in her voice, Old Man Guiyu could tell that this girl had been wanting to beat him up for a long time.

The other girl in black, who was basically silent, continued to maintain her style, and even her posture did not change.

——(Does this mean that only one person will be sent to fight me, or should we take turns?)

Although Mr. Guiyu had doubts in his mind, he did not speak out.

This time, he did not ask questions to delay time like before, because the "enemy's arrogance" is hard to come by, and the current situation where it seems that he is actively seeking death is actually his greatest chance of victory.

As for whether the opponent comes alone or with two people, it doesn’t matter to Mr. Guiyu - because, as early as when he proposed the duel, he was prepared to fight one against two.

"Hehe... then let's get started, little girl!"

As soon as he finished speaking, old man Guiyu suddenly accelerated without any warning, contrary to his previous slow pace. His short figure rushed towards the black-clothed and masked girl like an arrow!

The black-clad girl's movements were clearly halted by the sudden movement of Master Guiyu. When she pulled her hands out of her dark robe and prepared to fight, Master Guiyu had already leaned forward and rushed in front of her...

"It's too late little girl!"

Following a loud shout from the old man Guiyu, two narrow black steel daggers slid out from his sleeves, and then swirled and slashed along with his movements, attacking the girl in black like a circling black dragon.

The girl in black reacted a little late, but she managed to avoid the attack, which should have been unavoidable, by relying on her outstanding physical ability.

Just when she thought the old man would continue chasing her, she found that he didn't catch up at all. Instead, he stood there and laughed at her.

·

"Little girl, it's not too late to admit defeat now," said the leader of Que Hall, Guiyu.

"Why admit defeat? If you don't attack me, I will." The masked girl in black was confused and even began to wonder if the old man had Alzheimer's disease.

——(Is there something wrong with Mother's intelligence this time? Why is this candidate so clueless?)

Just as the masked girl in black was thinking this, the leader of the Sparrow Hall, Guiyu, raised his dagger and pointed it at her abdomen. The girl in black quickly glanced down and found that her black robe had been cut open without her knowing when.

Speaking of surprise, the girl in black was indeed surprised, but she was not born with such strong emotions, so her expression was more of a rational reflection.

The result was beyond her cognition and expectation, forcing the girl in black to believe that the old ratman grandfather in front of her had stronger physical abilities than described in the intelligence.

"See, I didn't brag."

The leader of Quetang put away his dagger and resumed his stance. He once again suggested that the girls in black stop.

"Girls, I don't know what kind of intelligence your organization has provided you, but there is one thing I want to tell you—in my entire life, I've never lost a battle I initiated."

After some preparation, Mr. Guiyu finally expressed the "psychological suggestion" in the most natural way.

He went to such great lengths to keep talking, just to make his "Trickster" skill take effect, and plant the psychological suggestion in the hearts of these two little girls that he was actually very powerful.

Although it is impossible for an ordinary person to defeat an opponent who is far stronger than himself in a fit of rage, when the gap in strength between the two sides is not that great, the quality of the mental state can obviously affect the outcome of the battle.

In addition to laying out psychological hints, the additional attribute "slander" of the skill "Trickster" of the old man of the trickery is also taking effect.

Although this entry can only reduce the enemy's basic attributes by a small amount, only 3%, in order to win, Mr. Weird Language must use all means.

"You talk too much nonsense, Master of Quetang. This farce should end."

The girl in black seemed unmoved by the old man's rhetoric and took the initiative to attack.

Seeing that the girl was faster than himself, old man Guiyu didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his hand and took out a gorgeous golden cloak from the void and put it on himself.

"Haha, it's time to end it."

Old man Guiyu pretended to be calm and stood there waiting for the girl in black to rush up. Just as he expected, the other party was frightened by his action of taking out the cloak.

As a young person, the girl in black may not know who Damodardas III is, but she must know Shenwu.

[Note: Damodardas III first appears in chapter 2.7 - Night Exploration of the Forest and makes his debut in chapter 6.14 - The Storm Will Rise. He is the monarch of the Kingdom of Wester.]

Although all "divine weapons" are unique, there is one thing that all divine weapons have in common, that is, they can all be stored in the soul of the bound person and then retrieved from the void.

Old man Guiyu had just used exaggerated movements to equip the Divine Weapon with the intention of relying on the Divine Weapon to scare off the black-clothed girl's active attack.

Because, with the speed of the girl in black, if she really used her skills to attack Old Man Guiyu, then Old Man Guiyu would not be able to withstand it.

"Haha, don't be nervous, this is just the beginning."

Old Master Guiyu seized the opportunity and immediately switched from defense to offense, launching a second charge towards the girl in black. In his plan, as long as the girl in black remained on the defensive, he would be able to control the overall situation.

After controlling the situation, the "six cards" in Mr. Guiyu's hand will bring him victory through his use.

·

The first card that Old Man Whisper used was the two-handed dagger "Illusionary Black Blade" that he had already used.

This pair of seemingly plain short swords and daggers actually hides two skills that are hard to guard against.

10.44 - Six Cards

The two-handed dagger "Illusion Black Blade" was a weapon that old man Guile bought at a high price. It has been with him for forty or fifty years.

Thanks to the old man's careful maintenance and careful use, the daggers are still sharp and strong despite their exaggerated years of use.

The reason why Mr. Guiyu was interested in the "Illusion Black Blade" was mainly because of its two inherent skills, which were called "Hidden Edge" and "Phantom Pain Effect".

The effect of "Hidden Edge" is that when "Illusion Black Blade" is injected with magic and activated, the complementary blade will become hidden and invisible, making the visual length of the pair of daggers shorter than its actual length.

Anyone unaware of the "Illusionary Black Blades" would almost certainly be injured by them the first time they faced them. For example, the old man, Trickster, was able to cut down the incredibly fast black-clad, masked girl thanks to the hidden blade.

Moreover, the scheming old man, Guiyu, did not forget to immediately mislead the black-clothed girl's judgment with words, so that the "Hidden Edge" could succeed a few more times.

The second skill of "Illusion Black Blade", "Phantom Pain Effect", also has an effect that is very suitable for actual combat.

The specific effect of the "Phantom Pain Effect" is that when the wearer uses the "Illusion Black Blade" to cause damage to a "living creature", the pain felt by the attacked person will be three times the actual damage value.

Human beings tend to be more idealistic when they don't know the truth. The effect of triple pain can often make the opponent timid and overestimate the strength of Mr. Weird Words.
