When Zheng Zha stepped onto the steps of the thirteenth floor, his previous ominous premonition finally came true. However, it was not a "coincidence" or "accidental" attack, but a man-made trap: a huge explosive fireball exploded in the air. It rose up in the stairwell, shattering the surrounding walls and blowing the stairs to pieces, causing the unfinished building to tremble slightly. Even Zheng Zha could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge and use red flames to resist the high temperature. , resisted the air wave with his body, and hid in the thirteenth floor... It was zero o'clock, and Zheng Zha found the building where he was hiding. His chance of winning was infinitely close to zero, but this did not mean that he would easily He was captured without any help.
And the next second, the entire thirteenth floor fell into darkness: several groups of substantial shadows, like thick black velvet curtains, hung from each window, blocking the outside sunlight... It was Zhao Yingkong who had arrived, and she This clever move turned this floor into her home court. A dark and lightless environment is equivalent to shadows everywhere. She and her attacks will be everywhere!
(As teammates, everyone is extremely reliable, but as opponents, each one is really more difficult to deal with.)
With a wry smile, Zheng Zha made a move with one hand, and a dazzling red flame floated beside him, dispelling the darkness around him and causing long shadows to be drawn out by several pillars around him. Almost at the same time, these shadows immediately "came alive" and materialized into the lances of ancient European knights, stabbing in his direction... It seemed that Zhao Yingkong had predicted his response. , to be able to attack so quickly.
"drink!"
Different from the last fight, Zheng Zha did not choose to use red flames to fight against the shadows. Instead, he shouted lowly, and his body lit up with a faint golden light that showed that he was the only one to master the skills. I saw that he grabbed the tip of a lance with his right hand, exerted a slight force, and shattered the weapon into pieces. As for the other lances, he did not dodge or dodge, and directly resisted with his horizontal kung fu. Come down... Facing these muscles that are as strong as gold and iron, the lance made of shadows can only penetrate the body for an inch, but it cannot advance even an inch, and it is broken by force!
At the same time, Zheng Zha was even more distracted. There was no longer just one red flame beside him, but two, three, and four. While the number was constantly increasing, it was circling around him at high speed, and then...
"Go!"
Obedient to Zheng Zha's will, these red flames flew in all directions. This was not a random attack without any rules, but flew accurately to the original location of the windows in this darkness. As long as those "black velvet curtains" are torn apart, the dull home court that Zhao Yingkong temporarily built will be broken.
(If I were Zhao Yingkong, if I were Zhao Yingkong... "I" would take advantage of this gap to form a chain with shadow, restrain, no, at least delay the opponent's movements for a moment, and then launch a fatal blow.)
(However, as long as my attacks are stronger and faster, I can seize the opportunity and defeat her!)
The next moment, just as the simulation in his mind told Zheng Zha, several chains composed of shadows emerged from his feet, wrapping and imprisoning his ankles, shoulders and wrists respectively. If Zheng Zha is caught off guard, these chains can indeed cause some trouble, but for him who has anticipated it and mobilized his strength in advance, they are not much stronger than cotton thread.
Easily breaking free from the shackles of the chain, Zheng Zha punched somewhere in the darkness without hesitation. That was the direction he was simulating in Zhao Yingkong's mind. The direction where she was about to launch a fatal blow was just... the first half of the simulation. Is it correct, but there is a big deviation in the second half?
Zheng Zha's punch landed in the air, and Zhao Yingkong did launch an attack, but the target was not him, but... holding the dagger tightly in both hands, raised it above his head, and stabbed his shadow from top to bottom! ?
(No, this is...a self-created skill?)
Methods such as "killing villains" have a history of thousands of years in the East. As early as the "witchcraft disaster" during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were curses using paulownia trees as a medium. In "The Romance of the Gods" Lu The nail-headed Seven Arrows book is also a similar method. Coincidentally, in the modern West, the legend of "Voodoo Doll" is also spread.
The principle of this in mysticism is to build an implicit connection between the "idol" and the "target" through "shape resemblance", and then map the harm to the "idol" to the "target", and This... is also the essence of Zhao Yingkong's attack: the human shadow is "similar" to the person, enough to establish a mystical connection!
Zheng Zha knew very well that this was definitely not included in the abilities of the B-level shadow lurkers. In other words, this was obviously Zhao Yingkong's self-created skill. This is also the fundamental reason for the deviation in his half-step third-level thinking simulation... Simulation is not mind-reading, so how can he guess the opponent's bottom-line moves that he has never shown before?
The moment the dagger penetrated the shadow on the floor, a ferocious stab wound appeared on Zheng Zha's chest, and blood gushed out. Was he...defeated?
"It can be called a stroke of art, but it's a pity...little girl, I have many opportunities to make mistakes, but you only have one."
As if the injury to his chest had no effect, Zheng Zha casually waved one arm and knocked Zhao Yingkong, who had exhausted his old strength but not yet developed new strength, several meters away. At the same time, several red fireballs also tore apart the "black velvet curtains" made of shadows, allowing sunlight to shine into the room again.
The blow just now was indeed quite dangerous, but Zheng Zha first used his golden body with all his strength to resist external demons, weakening the power of the curse, and then seized the moment when the knife wound opened in his body, relying on Powerful control, igniting controllable red flames in the body to resist the curse... In this way, in the blink of an eye, the power of the curse was weakened by several percent.
As Zheng Zha said, this... is the difference between strength and realm.
However, just when Zheng Zha stepped forward, preparing to stun and capture Zhao Yingkong, causing her to lose her fighting ability, the long-silent "coincidence" and "accident" happened again: due to the initial explosion, and the subsequent Affected by the battle between the two, the building structure of this floor was affected to a certain extent... But how could it be so "coincidentally" possible that just a few seconds before he stepped down, the building "just happened" to be on the ground? There was a collapse of a decent size where he landed! ?
The old horse stumbled...Zheng Zha, who was unable to walk in the air, even though he had a half-step third-level realm, was thrown off balance by this unexpected accident and staggered. And what about Zhao Yingkong? Faced with this vulnerability that comes to her door, can she seize the opportunity and fight back?
At this time, Zhao Yingkong was looking in the direction of Zheng Zha, but what she "saw" was not just Zheng Zha's figure: in the darkness, she "saw" a long-haired man covered in blood, shouting like crazy. Smiling, he passed by her and walked into the distance; she "saw" Ye Zi patted her shoulder gently, and after passing by her, he stretched out his hand to her with a smile; she "saw" In an extremely distant place, almost invisible, there seemed to be a figure that looked like her, but was not her own, standing alone; finally, there was Zheng Zha standing directly in front of her.
"I... don't want to lose, I don't want to lose to others."
(I don’t even want to lose to myself.)
As a genius girl, Zhao Yingkong gambled all her consciousness, pride and dignity, and the second level of the gene lock that had been unable to be opened was now broken in the face of this strong will.
The last blow she swung with the dagger seemed to be just an ordinary stab without any fancy, but in fact, it contained countless "reasons", and it had a sense of simplicity... This blow had the potential to threaten Zheng Zha head-on, making him feel threatened by death!
----------
At the same time, in the executive lounge of the hotel, the girl sitting opposite Ye Zi "raised a glass" to her, and saw the wine glass flying out of her palm and floating steadily in the direction of Ye Zi. ...Needless to say, this girl is Da Yunxi, who had made an agreement with Ye Zi a few horror movies ago.
And what she showed at this time was the manifestation of the magic power of the heaven system: the heaven in "Magic Century" is different from that in "Story of Grace". There are three levels under the heaven: monk, warrior, and knight, which can roughly match genes. Above the first, second and third levels of the lock, there are the small heaven, the big heaven and the heaven, which are equivalent to the primary, intermediate and advanced levels of the fourth level. As for the divine heaven with the same status as the saint, we will not discuss it here for the time being. Not expressed.
Judging from Ye Zi's eyesight, Da Yunxi's strength is at least that of a warrior, and her skills are also quite sophisticated. However, her "raising glass" action is a kind of test... a kind of prank like a girl, but it is A rather elegant temptation.
The first difficulty is to release the energy outward and have substance. Taking Zheng Zha as an example, his internal strength is unable to do this. The second difficulty is to hold up the cup without crushing it. Difficulties have extremely strict requirements on control. If Ye Zi could clink glasses with her in the same manner, it would be enough to prove her status as a strong person.
