This day is the 15th of March in the new calendar year 795. It seems to be an ordinary day in the last month of winter. The residents and imperial soldiers from Zaraha City are also walking on their own streets as usual. On the street, there were sounds of them fearing, shoving, and quarreling from time to time. Because of the rebel actions in the past few days and the blatant provocation of the "unknown person" against the empire, the guard alert and military strength in the Harlom area have also become significantly stronger, which also makes people entering and exiting this area The traders and the rebels who looked like traders invariably put away their arrogant thoughts.
In their eyes, this day was no different from the time before Duan Qing came to Zalaha City, if we did not take into account the vibrations coming from the underground and the imperial people who became obviously turbulent because of these vibrations. .
"How is this going?"
"Did you feel it?"
"It should have come from underground...someone is wreaking havoc underground!"
"Quickly inform General Bernard and let them pay attention to possible attacks from the underground direction. The rest... follow me!"
boom!
A loud explosion then appeared several hundred meters away from where the imperial captain was about to take action, in the passage of the underground pipe network in Harlem City. The rubble of the wall destroyed by the explosion was followed by the falling dust. , completely submerging one side of the passage. Ignoring the disappearance of the retreat behind him, Duan Qing climbed up from the corner and then raised his sword to block another dagger coming in front of him, and then rolled down to the passage before the fluorescence from the dagger was about to engulf the space. The other side: "Void Cleave...are you imitating the Void Hunter in "Star World"?"
"What is imitation? Don't use such ugly words." His answer was a voice that disappeared into the shadows again: "And... don't you think that this neighborhood and this game world are very consistent with the profession of 'Void Hunter' ?"
"I want to remind you that there are void cracks all around here." Duan Qing sighed silently in his heart, and replied expressionlessly as he climbed up again: "Carefully cut out a passage, and then be sucked in. "
"Are you referring to the space filled with void beasts?" Another figure standing at the far end of the passage smiled and replied: "Don't worry, that world is to us now..."
"But it's very familiar."
Bang!
The sound of fierce airflow suddenly appeared next to Duan Qing, blowing his body and the surrounding rubble to the wall in the corner. Duan Qing tried his best to use a defensive posture to remove the impact, and then tried his best to get rid of the impact. He raised his small buckler and blocked the other airflows that came around him from the generated barrier. As if he had expected that the other party would respond in this way, Luo Tu, who was standing at the end of the passage and dancing with his sword, then gathered all the airflow originally distributed on his long sword, and then gradually made the sound more and more intense. Condensed into a huge sword-shaped entity: "You like to call this thing... an air sword, right?"
"Would you like to taste what a real Qi sword looks like?"
Amidst the screams that could tear eardrums, the transparent long sword passed through the long passage at an unparalleled speed, and then easily broke through the invisible barrier in front of Duan Qing, nailing the small round sword. On the shield, the round shield named Andorhal's Guardian does not seem to be a shield good at physical defense. It only resisted for a moment and then shattered into thousands of scattered fragments. Duan's left arm was raised high. Qing was then blown away into the darkness deep in the passage along with the blood he spat out: "Cough cough, cough cough..."
"I'm so sorry for destroying one of your pieces of equipment." Casual applause then sounded from the other side of the passage at the far end: "Do you need me to give you a few gold coins for repairs?"
"You, you deliberately led me to use this shield?"
"Your weapons, your equipment, all your skills and moves...we all knew it well before." Looking at the place where the embarrassed figure lay in the distance, Luo Tu's voice then disappeared in another sudden voice. In the dark shadow between the two of them: "Although I didn't expect..."
"That protection of yours turns out to be so invulnerable."
Gritting his teeth and squeezing out the blood from his mouth, Duan Qing, who was lying among the gravel, gathered the last remaining strength in his body, and then while dodging two dagger swings, he His body was pulled out from the dust and rubble. The sound of dagger swings that was different from the past lingered around him for a while. At the same time, there were also the afterglows of dagger shadows that were as dark as the void, swaying. The magic lights around the passage then caused Duan Qing to roll again, reflecting his sudden squatting forward posture on the front of the dagger shadows: "Since it is a void hunter..."
"You must have the skill Flash, right?"
The same dagger shadows appeared behind Duan Qing with this attack, bringing out the same movement of the black shadow stepping out of the void. Two circling void slashes followed. It also swallowed up Duan Qing's original retreat, leaving only a ring-shaped hole that was darker than darkness. The strong suction force that appeared due to the opening of the passage also appeared around the holes. At the same time, there was a faint roar coming from the holes, but the figure belonging to Luo Tu appeared in the area immediately. Around the hollow, he pressed back all the things that had not disappeared with his hands: "Oh, no, no, now is not the time for you to appear."
"It seems that you are indeed very knowledgeable about that place." Duan Qing climbed up from the far side and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand: "Have you not been getting along well with them recently?"
"Don't worry, our research on them will soon enter the domestication stage." Turning around, Luo Tu replied in a low voice: "It's you..."
"Why haven't you used your true ability yet?" The smiling eyes gradually disappeared, and he stared at Duan Qing's body that was gradually getting up: "Are you...really planning to quit?"
"You guys who like to study other people..."
Duan Qing stood swayingly in front of the two people who were gradually approaching. Duan Qing gave a difficult smile. He wanted to touch his left hand behind him, but after remembering something, he put it down slightly helplessly: " This time he came up to me and actively provoked me... Could it be that he encountered some bottleneck in his research?"
"Speaking of which... our research on Yijian has been going on for nearly three years." Luo Tu held his hands and let out a long breath: "Before we realized that you were still alive, we did encounter many problems that were difficult to solve. The problem……"
"But now...the problems no longer exist." He smiled and spread his hands, showing the black shadow that flashed next to him again in front of Duan Qing: "Look, now even Ah Kangdu has become a void hunter."
"How many people are there in the Knights Templar?" Then Duan Qingyin asked again with a stern face: "How many of you have mastered mind... mastered that thing?"
"Although it will be very satisfying to tell you the answer to this question, but... I will not reveal any more information to you." Luo Tu restrained his smile: "All you need to know is... we I came here just to deal with you."
"..."
"You broke your promise."
As if he had changed into a different person, the originally extremely arrogant and showy swordsman put on a solemn face: "No matter where you have been hiding during this time... you should understand, right?"
"...I just helped my teammates play two games." Duan Qing's voice also hesitated: "I didn't do anything else."
"Such a simple and old-fashioned rhetoric... no one will believe it." Luo Tu's solemn expression gradually turned gloomy: "Just like the several times we have secretly exchanged hands before... you are not Did you use the Yi Jian method?"
"..."
"From Tania to Freedom City, and later to Fenghua Town...so many miraculous battles, don't tell me that you did it by relying on the abilities within the game framework."
Looking at the swaying Duan Qing's silent reaction, Luo Tu began to accuse him word by word: "You have destroyed the balance of the free world and changed the direction of the game again and again. Such a crime... I believe you don’t need to tell me, any team that knows you will admit it, right?”
"...That's nice to say."
Shaking his head, Duan Qing's will was revealed again with his sober eyes: "Aren't you doing the same thing? Aren't you also using the same method to try to rule the world?"
"Everything has to come first, and you are the culprit of this matter." Luo Tu continued to accuse without mercy: "Or... we who imitated you can cover up the crimes you have committed before. ?”
"...I am not guilty." Duan Qing shook his head: "You are the ones who distorted the facts."
"At this point, I don't want to continue arguing with you on this matter." Lotu shrugged and replied: "It is meaningless to argue with a dead man about the right and wrong of the past. You... Do you understand what I mean?"
"..."
"Okay, okay, it's almost time."
After signaling to the black-clothed thief beside him, Luo Tu's voice regained the scholar's unique arrogance and sarcasm: "Whether you continue to use your skills or not, we are ready to send you back."
"You will not succeed." Duan Qing raised his black dagger again: "I swear on my own name... You will never get any results you want from me."
"Huh hahaha! That's just right."
Dancing sword postures and flying figures once again began to fill the scene in the passage, and the low laughter belonging to Luo Tu was once again drowned behind the whistling sword whistle: "If you don't resist with Yi Jian, , then let’s finish it as soon as possible. The other brothers of our family are waiting in the Harlem Tavern, waiting for you to show up..."
Buzz——
The loud sound of the sword interrupted what he wanted to say next, and Duan Qing appeared on one side of the passage with his eyes approaching quickly. The trajectory of the sword with a black afterimage then gradually swallowed up the nearby space. , appeared in front of Luo Tu with countless illusions that came together. With a moment of hesitation, he saw through the illusions that could be mistaken for reality. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Luo Tu's mouth. The movement that he originally wanted to defend with his sword also sank, regrouping the countless air currents wrapped around him. He started to cry: "Such a simple trick..."
"Get ready to eat my final stunt." His feet took strange steps that kept turning, and his green shirt began to float backwards with the increasingly strong air current: "Seven Star Sword Formation - Heaven... "
Snapped.
A subtle knocking sound then appeared at Luo Tu's feet. It was the sound made by a stone that appeared from nowhere and hit his ankle. Luo Tu, who was taking the seven-star step, was about to fall. The foot also slid forward a little with the appearance of this stone, leaving a harsh and obvious mark on the ground. Seemingly affected by the same deviation, the air that was about to gather around Luo Tu also became somewhat chaotic. The air flow that escaped outwards was also swallowed up by the sword light that filled the sky after Duan Qing stabbed him. He suddenly made a move and gathered it into the middle one: "The moves simulated with the Yi Sword are also different, let alone how much you can exert your original strength..."
"Even if you really use it, there will still be flaws."
boom!
In the sound of sword energy and sword energy stirring each other, he slashed the concentrated sword at his side, and then slashed down the wall in a straight line, together with the figure of the black-clothed thief mixed in it. come out. The flying rubble crackled against the surrounding chaotic sounds, and a huge void crack that was also cut diagonally appeared on the surface of the wall. The powerful suction then began to play the original role of the void, pulling the wall apart. Everything around was pulled towards the crack: "...A'Kang! A'Kang!"
"I'm fine! But..."
"He ran away? You actually let him run away! Ignore this rift and chase him!"
"Wait a minute, there are footsteps...it's from the Empire, they seem to have discovered this place!"
The shouts one after another, accompanied by the noisy sound of armors colliding with each other, then flooded a corner of the passage, and countless figures belonging to the Empire's soldiers appeared at the end of the passage. They looked around the passage with vigilance, but in the end they were the first to take down the passage. A certain figure at their feet was pressed to the ground: "Who is it? Don't move!"
"I won't move, I won't move." Duan Qing, who was pinned to the ground, answered them with a weak, bitter laugh: "You guys today..."
"Just take me away."
