Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

However, just before nodding, Shiiki Ruri thought of the Frost Armor Knight.

If Grandpa Weird Whisper is leading an entire team in battle, then the Lord Frost Armor Knight lurking in the shadow of Shiiki Ruri can be worth more than Grandpa Weird Whisper's entire team.

(Shiiki Ruri: Mr. Stan, do you have any suggestions?)

Shiiki Ruri took the initiative to seek help from the Frost Armor Knight, and the Frost Armor Knight gave her the following advice...

(Frostmail Knight Stan: Let's fight first and see if we can't win, okay?)

·

Shiiki Ruri laughed, bursting into laughter.

Yes, despite being cruel, this is still just an internal selection competition within the organization.

Influenced by the atmosphere of the game, she had unknowingly regarded this as a life-and-death duel with her life at stake. However, if she broke out of this mindset, the current situation was not that critical.

——What's more, if she really can't win, she still has the unfathomable Lord Frost Armor Knight to help her.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Weird, I can't promise you, meow."

Shiiki Liuli put aside her thoughts of compromise and cheered herself up. She said to Grandpa Guiyu, "Since you poisoned me, I will take the antidote back myself. If I can't get it, I will admit defeat to you."

Such remarks are somewhat shameless, but if we want to say who was the first to use a dirty trick, it was still Grandpa Guiyu's side.

Before launching the attack, Shiiki Ruri said something very insightful, and her words gave a different meaning to the subsequent battle.

"Grandpa Guiyu, I believe that when you look back on the past, you definitely won't wish that your position as the Grand Master was given to you by someone else, so... let's have a fair fight!"

·

·

"Hahaha, I'm happy to do so."

Old man Guiyu happily agreed to Shiiki Ruri's duel request. After all, from the very beginning, his goal was to force Shiiki Ruri to fight with him.

As long as he can enter a head-on fight, he will be confident of defeating Xiao Liuli.

However, will things really go as smoothly as he expected?

Old man Guiyu didn't know that little Liuli is no longer the same person she used to be.

In the shadow of this cat-man girl, there lurks a young man who can surpass the entire Zhaoye Liuque.

10.57 - Many Tricks

The so-called poison gas is actually fake.

The antidote in his hand was naturally fake.

As for the blood marks that appeared on Shiiki Ruri's left and right arms, they were actually the effect "played" by old man Guiyu using the magic prop "Cursed Scarecrow: Go to Hell Together".

At this moment, there are blood marks on the left and right arms of Mr. Guiyu, just like those on Shiiki Ruri.

So, there is no useless garbage, only treasures placed in the wrong place. Mr. Guiyu's flexible use of various equipment illustrates this point well.

Next, Mr. Guiyu will apply the same method he used when fighting the black-clothed masked girls. By combining the two skills "Attack Declaration" and "No Injury Declaration", he will drag the eager Xiao Liuli into his own rhythm.

[Note: Here are the equipment and skill diagrams of Guiyu, which are as long as 800 words~]

However, Old Man Guiyu did not know at this time that Xiao Liuli did not fall into the trap because of the influence of his words.

The one who really "pushed" Xiao Liuli into the trap was the young man who had seen through everything.

Long before old man Guiyu wanted to seize the "Mole's Secret Treasure", he had already been regarded as the object of practical training by Xiao Liuli's "master".

Before Shiiki Ruri launched her attack, Lord Frost Armor Knight Stan told her clearly that he would not provide her with any form of assistance unless necessary.

Shiiki Ruri had no objection to this. She said that this was actually exactly what she wanted because it would be more meaningful if she won the battle with her own strength.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, Shiiki Ruri went all out.

The skill "Mirage Wind and Shadow" combined with the attribute "Muddy Sand" instantly enveloped Grandpa Weird Words.

Grandpa Guiyu's agility was not as good as Shiiki Ruri's, and after being attacked first like this, he was at an even greater disadvantage.

"You're quite motivated, Xiao Liuli, but I won't let you take the antidote so easily."

Grandpa Guiyu put the medicine bottle into his personal bag. In this way, unless Shiki Ruri defeated him, it would be difficult for him to take the "antidote" away.

In addition, relying on the passive effect of the fourth-level skill "Word Curse", Old Man Guiyu had already seen the name of Shiiki Ruri's first skill at this time and was ready for the next battle.

While Old Man Guiyu was doing these things, Shiiki Ruri had already started his next move.

She superimposed the use of the skill 'Wind Step' in the dust raised by 'Mysterious Wind', bestowing herself with a higher level of 'White Wind Blessing', thereby raising her agility attribute to a higher level.

When the number of layers of "White Wind Blessing" reached three, Shiiki Ruri's speed was like a rabbit compared to a tortoise compared to old man Guiyu.

·

——(Still holding back, Grandpa Weird...)

Shiiki Ruri ran in circles while observing the movements of Grandpa Guiyu. What methods would this old ratman grandfather, whose fighting style was a mystery, use to attack her?

Intuitively speaking, Shiiki Ruri really didn't think that the pair of black steel daggers in Grandpa Guiyu's hands could touch her, unless the other party had some special skills.

It's no use waiting like this now, so Shiiki Ruri decided to take the initiative in this battle.

——(Since you won’t make a move, I’ll make the first move, meow.)

In order to avoid being ambushed by Grandpa Guiyu, Shiiki Ruri cautiously used long-range attacks to test the waters first.

Given the current speed difference, her "White Wind Phantom Weasel" can be said to be a sure hit.

——(If you can just stay in the hallucination, I will be grateful to you, Grandpa Whisperer.)

As Shiiki Ruri released her skills, several sickle-weasels made of magic power flew out of thin air and pounced on Grandpa Guiyu in irregular movements.

At this moment, Grandpa Guiyu suddenly raised his arm in an exaggerated manner and said, "Little Liuli, I will cut a gash on your shoulder before your sickle-tailed weasels can attack me."

Shiiki Ruri didn't know why Grandpa Guiyu was acting so arrogantly, but she still subconsciously glanced at her shoulder.

What she couldn't believe was that there actually was a wound on her shoulder, exactly the same as what Grandpa Guiyu had said!

——(How…is this possible?)

Shiiki Ruri was stunned. She had never been touched by Grandpa Guiyu since the beginning of the battle. How did this wound on her body come about?

And when Shiiki Ruri looked at Grandpa Guiyu again, the other party was already smiling and "welcoming" the arrival of the kamaitachis.

In a flash, the sharp-pointed sickle-tailed beasts rushed towards their target. However, it was as if there was an invisible barrier between Grandpa Guiyu and the sickle-tailed beasts. The sickle-tailed beasts that were supposed to hit Grandpa Guiyu directly all collided with something invisible in the air around him and disappeared... Even the small whirlwind that was generated afterwards could not get close to Grandpa Guiyu.

——(Damn it, is it a skill for armor, or something else?)

Shiiki Ruri couldn't tell what Grandpa Guiyu had done exactly, but based on her experience, she could guess that Grandpa Guiyu must have consumed a certain amount of magic power.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the kamaitachis disappeared when they encountered obstacles.

·

Exchanging magic power for magic power is something that Shiiki Ruri doesn't want to encounter in battle.

She didn't know whether Grandpa Guiyu had much magic power, but she herself didn't have much magic power, and this was something Shiki Ruri was very sure of.

Since even the "White Wind Phantom Weasel" that hit all targets couldn't break through Grandpa Guiyu's shield, Shiiki Ruri would just rush in personally!

——(One more time, stepping into the air!)

With this skill that allows her to jump in the air, Shiiki Ruri used her speed advantage to "fly" right above Grandpa Weird.

For humans, who can only see forward, attacks from overhead are often one of the most difficult types to dodge and defend against.

——(Sorry, Grandpa Whisperer!)

Shiiki Ruri gripped the Wind Whispering Sword tightly, concentrated all her strength on one point, and stabbed it straight at the opponent's head.

At this time, Grandpa Guiyu, who was much slower than Shiiki Ruri, finally caught up with Shiiki Ruri's movements. He first threw a dart at Shiiki Ruri, and then raised the black steel daggers on both sides to prepare to take Shiiki Ruri's attack.

——(Strange, why is he in a defensive stance? Is he thinking his shield can't hold up anymore, or is it because the shield's duration has expired?)

Shiiki Ruri was fighting and acquiring information at the same time. When she was less than two meters away from Grandpa Guiyu, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She subconsciously used the last air jump opportunity of the Wind Step and jumped sideways to escape the attack route.

Then, she saw a gorgeous golden cloak appear out of thin air behind Grandpa Guiyu. Judging from the way it appeared out of thin air, this equipment was undoubtedly the ceiling among equipment, the "divine weapon" that Shiki Ruri had always dreamed of.

Looking at the golden flash, Shiiki Ruri gasped. If she hadn't trusted her instincts and dodged immediately, she would have already fallen into Grandpa Guiyu's trap.

——(Grandpa Weird is deliberately trying to trick me into a close combat with him, meow!)

10.58 - Trespassers

"I didn't expect to see Shenwu so soon, meow. Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Grandpa Guiyu."

After temporarily suspending the battle, Shiiki Ruri neither advanced nor retreated, and continued to maintain the current "not far, not close" distance with Grandpa Guiyu.

At this distance where she can attack or defend, she can ensure her own safety while continuing to put pressure on Grandpa Weird.

At that critical moment just now, the appearance of "Shenwu" did scare Shiiki Ruri, and even made her feel timid, but now she has a different idea. She thinks that since Grandpa Guiyu even used Shenwu, doesn't this prove that she is actually very threatening?

——(Also, after all this trouble from me, Grandpa Guiyu's Shenwu must have missed the best 'opportunity' to appear. Nya... hehehe, I won't fall for your tricks anymore, Grandpa Guiyu...!)

·

Amidst the flying sand, the cat-man girl and the rat-man grandfather were in a standoff.

Both of them seemed to be standing still, but in fact they were thinking fiercely in their minds about how to win the next battle.

The current dilemma faced by Old Man Guiyu is that he is unable to cause effective harm to Xiao Liuli.

After the brief fight just now, he clearly realized that he had no way to catch Xiao Liuli. Even though he racked his brains to set a trap and planned to take the damage to trap Xiao Liuli, he was still discovered by her somehow.

If he couldn't restrict Xiao Liuli's movements, Old Man Guiyu wouldn't be able to obtain the "Mole's Secret Treasure." Unfortunately, his tactics and strategies were primarily based on defensive counterattacks.

Looking at the troubles facing Shiiki Ruri, her situation is exactly the opposite of that of old man Guiyu.

Shiiki Ruri could easily hit Grandpa Whispering, but she couldn't break through his defense.

As long as Grandpa Guiyu was still able to move freely, Shiiki Ruri would have no chance of taking the antidote from him. After all, no matter how fast Shiiki Ruri was, she couldn't stay by Grandpa Guiyu's side for too long.

Grandpa Guiyu's unknown skills and equipment make Shiki Ruri more dangerous every time she stays with him.

——(In that case, I might as well just unleash all my might and give it a go, nya…!)

After much deliberation, Shiiki Ruri decided to give it a try.

Although she didn't know what Grandpa Guiyu was up to, she was clear about one thing: Grandpa Guiyu definitely wanted to exhaust herself through a protracted battle, and then make the final move after her physical strength declined.

However, Shiiki Ruri's speculation this time was actually wrong.

Not only did Old Man Guiyu not want to delay, he also wanted to decide the outcome as quickly as possible, just like Shiiki Ruri.

The reason why Mr. Guiyu made such a decision was because he was worried that his "lies" would be exposed.

In order to force Xiao Liuli to fight with him, Old Man Guiyu just used the effect of "Cursed Scarecrow: Go to Hell Together" to make Xiao Liuli mistakenly believe that she was poisoned.

Generally speaking, something like "poison" will definitely continue to develop over time, so if Old Man Guiyu wants to delay time and continue to waste time with Xiao Liuli, he will have to continue to make up lies.

So, would Xiao Liuli continue to believe Old Man Guiyu's lies? Old Man Guiyu felt that the possibility was very small. Even at this moment, he began to worry whether Xiao Liuli had seen through the lie of "poisoning".

Therefore, in order to avoid being completely seen through by Xiao Liuli, and to prevent Xiao Liuli from losing the "reason to fight", Old Man Guiyu had no choice but to decide the outcome with her as soon as possible.

——(Let’s use the “Word Spirit Curse” as our winning move.)

Old Master Guiyu quickly made a plan in his mind. If his reasoning was correct, Xiao Liuli would use the skill "Mysterious Wind and Shadow" again as the first move. What he had to do was to predict that Xiao Liuli would use this skill, and then take advantage of her surprise because she was blocked by the skill, and use the "Two-handed Dagger·Illusionary Black Blade" and "Magic Dart·Infinite Firepower" to attack together and take her down in one fell swoop.

·

A strong wind blows in the woods.

Old Man Guiyu kept a close eye on Xiao Liuli's movements, waiting for the moment she made a move so he could counterattack her.

Shiiki Ruri was also holding her breath, she was currently hesitating whether to start with "Misleading Wind and Shadow" or to use the Wind Whispering Sword's skill "Swift Wind Stab" to make a feint.

——(Let's use "Wind Shadow" first. It will definitely be more stable if we stack "White Wind Blessing" first.)

Shiiki Ruri took a light step and was about to start a combo that she had already planned in her mind. However, at this moment, an ominous premonition suddenly enveloped Shiiki Ruri's whole body, causing her to subconsciously stop her intention to attack and instead focus all her attention on defense.

Then, in the next second, a black shadow descended from the sky with a "buzzing" sound of high-speed flapping wings, and broke into the battle area of ​​the two people in an unstoppable manner!
