After a dense rain of bullets passed, a strong and substantial demonic energy rose up in the forest, and the fog was forced away, revealing a figure carrying an extra-long sniper rifle.
"It's you?!" The two spoke at the same time. Although they used different languages, it did not prevent them from understanding each other's meaning and mood.
Qianye's joy of breaking through was completely destroyed in an instant, and the tangled and painful expression on Aiden's face also revealed his extremely depressed mood at the moment.
In the past, the repeated battles that lasted for several days without stopping had turned the battle against each other into a torture with no end in sight.
The misty forest is very vast, and the defense area Qianye randomly selected was quite far away from the area where the two of them fought last time. But he didn't expect that he would meet Aiden here again.
Aiden held a short knife in his right hand, and the black demonic energy lingered on his entire left arm, which looked like an oval shield. There were two obvious bullet marks on his chest, but they did not penetrate the armor.
Apparently after Aiden was attacked, the hastily launched defense still blocked the attacks of Bloody Mandala and Phantom Manjusawa, and he was also prepared to use close combat to counterattack his opponent.
The physical weakness of demons is compared to other dark races, which does not mean that humans can take advantage of melee combat. Due to the existence of various strange and powerful abilities, many demons are also quite powerful in close combat, no less than the human race.
The trouble that passing combat skills brings to the dark powerhouse.
The famous demon clan Abyss of Darkness is one of them. The powerful corrosive power of their main talent causes headaches for countless opponents on the battlefield. Sometimes a breath of demonic energy will knock down enemies in large groups. Human warriors have cultivated it.
The effects of some special attributes of the Force may be weakened.
Aiden has a place in the Abyss of Darkness and the Council of Eternal Night. He relies not only on his excellent bloodline and innate talent, but also on his melee and long-range combat skills.
The attack was a bit close this time, and it was no longer within the optimal range of heavy snipers. Since the opponent's concentrated fire failed to break through his defenses, Aiden was not prepared to counterattack in a roundabout way, and directly planned to use close combat to deal with the enemy.
.
This choice was theoretically correct. In practice, Aiden also killed two or three teams of human warriors in this way. The only problem was that he encountered Qianye this time.
Qianye's eyes fell on Aiden's knife, and Aiden's expression changed again and again. The short knife seemed to suddenly become extremely hot to the touch.
The reason is very simple. Maybe Aiden's melee combat ability is not a shortcoming, but in front of Qianye, who wields heavy armor and heavy sword, it is really a shortcoming. The two of them only have one real close combat.
, as soon as they fought, Aiden was almost cut in half by Dongyue with his sword. Since then, Aiden refused to come close to Qianye's melee range even if he was beaten to death.
But now the distance between the two parties seems a bit awkward.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them moved for a moment.
Qianye's heart suddenly moved slightly. This was the first time he saw Aiden's face clearly from the full range of sight. His first reaction was that the accuracy of the Li family's intelligence drawing was only seven to eight points, and then he
The feeling of déjà vu arose again, Qianye always felt that he had seen this demon descendant somewhere.
Aiden made a quick decision, turned around and left. Qianye was naturally unwilling to let go of this formidable enemy and pursued him all the way.
Time seemed to have returned to a few days ago, and the two began to fight endlessly again.
Perhaps evenly matched battles are the best whetstone. Both sides find that their opponents are becoming more difficult to deal with. Every battle this time is extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake will cause a wound.
Although Aiden's close combat was still powerless in front of Qianye, he could barely resist it twice. He was no longer nearly killed in one encounter like the first time. This difference alone gave him the opportunity to move forward.
There is room to escape from the melee range.
But similarly, Aiden's stealth is no longer as effective as it used to be. It is difficult to maintain the most powerful shooting distance of Ode of Shadows. Several times, Qianye noticed it before even pulling the trigger, and what followed was a violent counterattack.
, from hunter to prey in the blink of an eye.
A few more days passed like this, and Qianye once again felt physically and mentally tired, and his breath was a little weak. To replenish the original power with the sap of the giant tree, it still needs to be refined by Yaopian, otherwise the absorption rate will be greatly reduced.
But now that battles break out all the time, taking a few minutes to do some exercise is an extremely luxurious act and involves a lot of risk.
Qianye was about to take a rest when he suddenly turned around and saw Aiden again not far away.
This is also a side effect of the two people's battle training. Now the safe distance between them is getting shorter and shorter. When they often find each other, they will find that it is a position that is neither conducive to close combat nor suitable for sniping.
For Qianye, if the twin flowers are not united, they will not be able to break Aiden's defense, but the time it takes for the two guns to fuse is enough for Aiden to escape from the lock. As for Aiden, his short/gun is powerful enough, but if
If Qianye is not seriously injured by a gunshot, he will have to face a heavy sword that can cut through mountains.
This was the case for this encounter. Qianye was holding a piece of dried meat in his hand, which is the standard field ration of the imperial military. In Aiden's hand was a bottle of potion, which had just been half applied to the wound. The famous demon descendant
The son's appearance was even more embarrassing than Qianye's, with black eyes and sunken cheeks. There were several wounds on his body that had not been closed and blood was still oozing out.
The two did not take action immediately, but faced each other silently.
With a bang, Qianye spat out the meat residue in his mouth, while Aiden poured all the remaining medicine on the wound and held the short gun at his waist.
After many battles, Qianye was more wary of this short/gun than the exaggerated sniper rifle. In Aiden's eyes, in addition to weapons, he always felt an incomparable feeling from Qianye himself.
The danger is as if there is a dormant ancient beast in Qianye's body.
Qianye also realized that the safe distance was constantly shortening, which meant that every battle was on the verge of death. The two competed not only on strategy, tactics and combat skills, but also on luck to a large extent. On the battlefield,
The most unreliable thing is luck.
He hesitated for a moment, whether to simply use the original gun to kill this formidable enemy in one fell swoop. However, Aiden showed endless abilities, especially the ability to break free from locks in an instant, and the ability to escape with an explosive speed that was close to teleportation. Qianye was not sure.
It can hit Aiden. But if the original spear misses, it will be Qianye's turn to be slaughtered.
Both sides had their own concerns. After a while, they retreated slowly in tacit agreement and disappeared into the thick fog. Since they were not sure, they started a new round to see who could take the upper hand and become a hunter.
Unknowingly, the two men's fighting style changed. They no longer rushed to fight for life and death, but were more patient, constantly testing and maneuvering, and immediately escaped if they missed a hit.
The combat skills of both sides have also been continuously honed in life and death. Now, as long as one side makes the slightest movement, the other side can instantly detect the other side's intentions and counterattack accordingly.
They were like skilled chess players who tried again and again but never came up with a killer move. Because they couldn't find a chance and they didn't give the opponent a chance. The final result was that even when they were exhausted, they didn't get hurt much.
Perhaps even they themselves were not aware that the result of such a battle had made their combat skills improve by leaps and bounds, and they could barely be called art.
Qianye has gradually come up with the idea that to kill Aiden, he can only pay a sufficient price to get close and then use the Nirvana Sword to seal the outcome. However, the price will definitely be heavy damage. However, Aiden is not an easy person to deal with, and he will not give it at all.
Opportunities like this for Qianye.
Soon after retreating, Qianye rushed towards the battlefield at full speed. This time he did not hide his aura at all, and was simply a living target for Aiden, who had a heavy sniper. Qianye believed that Aiden would never refuse this.
temptation.
This was indeed a great temptation. Aiden struggled repeatedly in his mind and finally decided to take action. He knew it was a trap, but he was not prepared to step too deeply into it, and he had no intention of killing Qianye just this time. He would just injure the opponent severely.
However, let the situation tilt slightly in your direction.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Aiden knew in his heart that the balance of the battle had begun to gradually become unbalanced. He was becoming more and more passive, especially after being injured. Not only was Qianye's physical defense extremely strong, but his recovery speed from injuries was also incredible.
It was also incredibly fast. If this continued, he would either admit defeat and withdraw from the battlefield, or become a loser in the bloodletting tactics.
As the crisp sound of gunfire rang out, blood suddenly appeared on Qianye's side, and his whole body was moved sideways by one meter by the huge momentum of the bullet. However, Qianye did not rush over as fast as before, nor did he pull out Dongyue.
Twin flowers appeared in his palm, and the two spears merged into one.
A sparkling water wave appeared on Qianye's palm, and there were vague flowers floating and sinking, with enchanting postures, as if they were about to bloom.
Aiden suddenly felt an indescribable sense of danger. There was no beautiful illusion of twin flowers merging into one in his eyes. At this moment, he could very clearly see that the aura on Qianye that had always made him fearful was slowly turning into an ancient ferocious beast.
wake.
He didn't care about anything else. He screamed, turned around and ran away. With all his strength, Aiden's speed increased to the limit. In the blink of an eye, he was no longer running, but flying. The billowing demonic energy drew a slight arc.
The tangible trajectory of a line.
A ray of light silently attached to the wake at some point. No matter what happened along the way, such as giant trees, substrate, or fog, nothing could stop it. Nothing was an obstacle on the way forward, just like a shortened demon.
Disappear quietly like a breath of air.
The light quickly swallowed up the trail of demonic energy. At this time, Aiden's running figure suddenly had a slight deviation, so the light passed Aiden, and a hole silently appeared in the trunk of a giant tree in front of him.
.
However, Aiden did not completely escape the attack. The armor on his arm was suddenly annihilated, and large parts of his body turned black, then gray, and flew away in the blink of an eye. A layer of flesh and blood was cut off his upper arm, and half of the bones were removed.
Aiden shouted, and the demonic energy erupted again, turning into threads and shooting forward, forming a six-sided passage. The strange thing is that this passage ignores the body and branches of the giant tree in front of it, as if appearing in a
In a completely different space. The moment Aiden stepped into the entrance of the passage, his speed suddenly doubled and he was gone in an instant.
When Qianye arrived, he only saw a few streaks of demonic energy that had not completely dissipated.
"Traveling through the Demon Realm! Damn it!" Qianye stopped bitterly.
