Chapter VIII Battle Ritual

Kuffith waved the sword in her hand, beautifully pulled a sword flower, and looked at the thin sword in Mealli's hand intently. Compared with the standard-cast sword in Kuffith's hand, Mayalli's sword body was slightly longer, but it was even thinner. Like others, Kuffith felt that when he saw this sword, he was afraid that he would be enough to break the sword with just a little force. But she did not underestimate the enemy because of this. Judging from the performance of the sword just now, it would definitely not be as fragile as it seemed on the surface. She looked at the sword carefully and couldn't help but narrow the distance. Judging from the scars she saw on the corpses before, if Kuffith was not wrong, then Mayalli's sword technique should be mainly about stabbing. The most important thing to deal with such warriors is not to distance it to avoid giving them a chance to kill with one blow.

Mealie is still the kind of noble-looking sword-holding method. The difference is that this time she raised the sword with her left hand and looked at Kufes as if she announced something. Then, the competition began.

"drink!"

Kuffith shouted, and his whole body rushed up like an agile flying leopard. The sword in his hand flashed through cold lights, attacking Meali like stars in the sky. It seemed that she had made up her mind to attack closely to prevent Meali from attacking. Although the sprinting method is powerful, it must store the stamina for the sprinting to break out. In Kuffith's view, as long as she can fight Meali and let her not have time to accumulate strength and break out, and not to open the distance suitable for the sprinting, she will win and not lose.

Unfortunately, the sword technique used by Mayalie is completely different from the world where Kuffith is located.

"bite!!"

Facing Kuffith's attack, Mealli had no intention of giving in. On the contrary, she took the initiative to take a step forward, and the thin sword in her hand was attached to the opponent's sword like a shadow. Kuffith felt that her attack direction was restrained by a small force and actually deviated. She couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly tried her best to try to pick out Mealli's sword. But Mealli did not use the same force as she thought. On the contrary, Kuffith felt that her sword was swinging along the expected place without any effort. Although Mealli's sword was tightly attached to her sword body, Kuffith could not feel the other party's resistance at all, as if Mealli was deliberately following her.

It's going to be bad!

There was something wrong with Kuffith's intuition, perhaps because it was too smooth, which made her suspicious. If Mayale's strength was really not as strong as herself, at least she should have a little power to stop her sword, rather than cooperating with herself like this, like dancing. In an instant, although Kuffith turned these thoughts, it was too late. Because there was no expected obstacle, Kuffith's long sword had already cut toward Mayale. If she kept stopping at this moment, then she would soon see blood!

But at this moment, Meyari suddenly turned his wrist and the thin sword in his hand circled Kufes's long sword, then changed Kufes' attack direction, allowing the sword to pass by him without slashing at Mayali's body.

How is this possible?!

Just when Kufes hadn't reacted, Mayali's actions did not end there. After the Kufes attack was slanted, the thin sword spread out into Kufes's arm and stabbed forward like a poisonous snake, and then stopped in front of her neck.

These few whistles were rising and falling, and the speed was unusually fast. The mercenaries watching next to him only saw Kufes' sword swinging with an unparalleled aura, while Meyali seemed to raise the sword and wrap around him, and somehow she had already attacked Kufes' side! And now Meyali was still in the elegant sword-raising posture, as if she was not fighting at all, but dancing.

“So far!”

A thick voice sounded, and the two of them immediately retreated their swords and separated. Yi Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw an old man with a thin body and a gray beard walking over with his palms. The mercenaries who were originally shouting around him immediately calmed down and made way for him at the same time. It seemed that this old man had a very high prestige in it.

"who is he?"

Iminga asked Lawrence in a low voice.

"He...oh my god!"

When Luo Luns heard this, he observed the old man carefully for a moment, and then suddenly became shocked.

"Then, isn't that Lord Kashutt 'Hawkeye'? It's rumored that he has stopped doing this job anymore. How could he appear in this place?!"

"Is he awesome?"

"At least, that's what the rumor says."

Being cautious is the advantage of a businessman.

"Miss, your swordsmanship is amazing."

The old man looked at Mealie and smiled slightly, but his expression became much more solemn.

"However, such a wonderful sword technique cannot be used to deal with monsters."

The originally lively crowd became much quieter in an instant. They whispered uneasyly, and looked at Mealli with vigilant eyes. Indeed, the reason why the mercenaries used the sword moves that opened and closed was, on the one hand, because most sword skills were created by men and became bold and unrestrained. On the other hand, the mercenaries most often met were wild beasts and monsters. They did not require such exquisite skills to deal with them, and the other party would not have such leisure. Wild beasts are wild beasts, and no matter how cunning they were, they were just beasts. Only by fighting with strength was the correct way to deal with them.

But Meyali's swordsmanship is obvious, and it is not a skill used to hunt animals. It is undoubtedly a swordsmanship created with the premise of killing people and with the sole purpose of killing people.

"Aren't the most vicious and vigilant beasts in any era, all humans?"

Yi Ming walked forward and took the old man's words. Faced with his irony, the old man smiled and nodded.

"You're right, little dear. But our enemies are not humans. Maybe occasionally, but... it won't be all the time."

He looked at Meali with some meaning, and Meali looked back at the old man indifferently, without any surprise or joy.

"So, everyone, it's late at night, so let's take a break early. Be careful!"

The old man said and clapped his palms. The mercenaries who were originally watching immediately dispersed and went to do their own things. Yi Ming also looked at the old man and left with Mei Yali. The originally lively venue became deserted for a while, and the old man watched Yi Ming and Mei Yali's backs leave, then raised his head and looked at the female leader standing respectfully beside him.

"What's wrong? Kuffith?"

"Teacher, why did you say that?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Kuffith immediately raised a question.

"In fact, there are many such people among our mercenaries, right? We are not just dealing with wild beasts. I think you have already seen that these two warriors are very powerful. If we can absorb them into the group..."

"Cuffice, you're still too young."

The old man smiled and then raised his hand to signal Coofes to stop. Then he coughed, and then the old man's expression became solemn.

"Did you feel anything when you were fighting with that lady?"

“…………………I’m sorry, I don’t seem to feel anything.”

Kuffith recalled for a moment, then shook his head and replied in shame. But the old man nodded very satisfied, as if he agreed with Kuffith's opinion.

"Yes, there's nothing."

"Why?"

Kuffith didn't understand.

"Teacher, you mean……………”

"The lady just now, her sword skills are superb." The old man moved his finger slightly, then pointed his hand at Kufes' neck, and stopped at almost the same position as Mealie just now. With this hand alone, the old man's strength can be seen. "If you are in this position, as long as her wrist moves gently, you must die."

"That's true, teacher."

"But you feel nothing."

The old man once again showed an unfathomable smile.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"Are you saying......" Kuffith frowned and thought for a moment, then replied in surprise. "You mean, Mayalie has the means of hiding murderous aura of assassin?! Is she an assassin?"

"It's already very close, but unfortunately it's still wrong."

The old man shook his head, then he put down his hand, turned around and continued to look at the dark desert around him.

"It should be said that she has no murderous intent at all. Kuffith, you are a warrior. You should be very clear that whether it is a mercenary like us or an assassin who mainly uses hidden assassination, we will inevitably exude murderous intent and fighting spirit when we kill people. As long as it is a battle, such a breath flows inevitably. But do you know why we exude murderous intent?" The old man did not wait for Kuffith to answer, but continued to say on his own. "That's because we know that we have the enemies we must face and the prey we must kill. Our bodies will take the initiative to react for us, but the lady is obviously different."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then turned toward the tent. Only the old and heavy voice drifted through Kufes' ears with the night wind.

"Give them aside, Kufes. He did not have the intention to kill during the battle, so he said, "It doesn't matter what he is in front of him." There is no difference between people and things for them. Such people are too dangerous to stay in our mercenary group."

Kuffith looked at the old man's back blankly and suddenly felt a sudden heat on her neck. She reached out to wipe it off in surprise, and saw a faint blood mark on her originally white palm at this moment.
