In the center of the room, which was no different from the previous fourteenth floor, the tall golden armor stood there silently, like an unchanging rock through the ages.
It was still the knightly ceremony of armed knights. The next moment, a pale golden flame ignited in the hollow helmet.
Just by being stared at by the flame, Lu Pingan felt inexplicably restrained and depressed.
"...Is this the third level?"
Rank does not represent strength, but it represents the degree of pollution.
It is natural that small radiation sources are suppressed by large radiation sources.
Lu Ping'an felt that the surroundings were full of sluggishness, and the air he breathed was a bit heavier.
It felt like the entire space was filled with a dull liquid, and all movements were forcibly suppressed.
But Lu Ping'an smiled. Perhaps, this was an opportunity to verify...
"move like water(Dancing like water)..."
Inexplicably, Lu Pingan remembered the title of a song, which was also his understanding of this martial arts.
His hands slowly rotated, and the long ax he held up began to dance.
But unlike the previous opening and closing, the swing this time was slightly trembling, seeming hesitant and uneasy.
The stagnant air was stirred, causing ripples. The core was like a trident stirring the rivers and lakes.
From this moment on, it became more than just the martial arts of the heroic spirit Cohen.
Lu Ping An was the first to attack, and with a circular sweep, the top of the ax blade collided with the lance.
Not surprisingly, he was almost knocked off his weapon by the brute force of the feedback, and there was a generational difference in the basic strength of the two sides!
But Lu Ping'an still smiled and just flicked his wrist silently.
A wave of waves leaves quickly, but it always returns successfully the next moment.
The battle ax in mid-air shook an arc, drew a semicircle, and attacked the competitive knight again.
"Dang-dang-dang."
The sound of iron striking formed a battle cycle, and nothing seemed to have changed.
During the entire process, only the battle ax was moving, and Lu Ping'an, the controller, became a pendant and vassal.
Every action of Tomahawk is actually a response to the Iron Knight. It looks like Tomahawk is fighting against the armored knight and has nothing to do with the "pendant" Lu Ping'an.
"Dang."
This time, it was still the sound of metal colliding.
This is too much of a cheating body. The steel body is paired with harder weapons, so people don't know how to start.
But Lu Ping'an didn't stop, he kept letting the tomahawk "flow".
The waves cannot be stopped and stagnant water is worthless.
To resist the pressure of rank, the flow (dodge) that seems to show weakness is actually the use of softness to overcome strength that constantly consumes the opponent's strength.
At this moment, under the crazily increasing pressure, what Lu Pingan drew was no longer a pure circle.
Oval, square, and triangle are all acceptable as long as they still form a cycle, look at each other head to tail, and have a safe journey.
No matter how stressed or twisted, the cycle still continues...
"when."
There was another crisp sound, and the counterattack drum beat was still playing.
The rhythm was slowly controlled by Lu Ping'an.
But this still cannot change the battlefield. It is difficult to even break through the defense just by relying on the current methods.
Just dancing like water cannot break the overly strong city wall, then...
Suddenly, Lu Ping'an stopped, and all the "circles" in the air stopped in shock.
Lu Ping'an held weapons in both hands and stamped the ground with his battle ax, without even looking at the steel giant that was so close at hand. The shock burst out the warrior's determination!
"....and break like glass!"
"Boom!"
The next moment, right in front of Lu Ping'an, countless sparks erupted from the metal giant's body, and all the "resonance" that had been accumulated for a long time burst out.
The ground was shaking slightly, the distortion of metal echoed in the small room, the vibrations erupted repeatedly like echoes, sparks and smoke ignited the knight.
There were continuous explosions, as if there were firecrackers tied to the body. What was even more deadly was that most of the explosions came from behind the armor.
This kind of internal shock damage that crosses the metal armor is still a fatal blow even for a true level 3 heavy cavalry.
"...Sure enough, it's useless."
But after the sparks and smoke dissipated, what remained in place was still the silent metal knight.
There were some twists and cracks in his armor, but it was far from complete collapse.
"He's finished. His appearance is really bad."
"Yes, his martial arts are very good, but his attack power is somewhat lacking. It's not that he is incompetent, but compared to the heavy ax series that specializes in breaking down cities and demolishing houses, the lethality of this set of martial arts is a bit different from that of the heavy ax series. kind......"
When people outside sentenced Lu Ping'an to death, he still looked calm. This scene was what he expected.
If you just rely on the basic martial arts of Wave Ryu to kill this third-level heavy weapon, you would be underestimating the opponent.
Suddenly, he frowned. Did what was supposed to come come?
An iron ring appeared on Lu Ping'an's wrist at some point, and the chain on it extended to the opposite left hand.
"Knight's Chain Deathmatch" is one of the core abilities of the third-level competitive knight.
Once successfully activated, this chain will forcibly link the two parties, limiting the movement range of both parties, and forcing a hand-to-hand duel, but what is more deadly is...
"...The chains will continue to shorten, and in the end, you will have to cut them with one knife and another with one knife, but who can beat the iron can?"
This is like having a countdown with the duelist, and you will definitely die by then.
Although he is called a competitive knight, this knight has no competitive spirit at all.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the knight took the lead, the will-o'-the-wisp of the armor suddenly lit up, and he jerked his left arm.
The shaking metal chains directly pulled Lu Pingping into the air.
"when!"
The lance and the tomahawk collided again, but this time, due to the restrictions of the chain, Lu Ping'an did not completely succeed in "dancing like water".
The irresistible shock wave surged back and forth, causing him to spit out blood.
"......Should I give up?"
"It's so unlucky to meet such an outrageous opponent."
But Lu Pingping, who still had blood on his lips, was still smiling.
At this moment, all the conditions are in place, it’s time to launch the core killer move of the wave flow!
"...The silver talisman awakens, the water tiger pattern takes shape!"
A strange scene happened. A faint silver light appeared in the cracks caused by the "resonance".
Those weird silver lights extend on the outside of the metal armor, forming small lines. After those long and thin lines are formed, they swim around the weak spots of the armor, like strips of... eels?
"Buzz!"
This time, a miracle happened.
The "eels" resonated with each other, pulling or repelling each other, causing the metal armor to distort on its own.
Piranha, also known as the electric eel.
The silver talisman and water tiger pattern are Lu Ping'an's killing moves that he has always retained, and they are also the core of the qualitative transformation of Wave Battle Ax from mortal martial arts to supernatural martial arts.
Yes, the opinions outside are correct. Compared with other conventional ax skills, Wave Slash is far superior in terms of consumption, range, and defense, but its attack power is obviously insufficient... This is a heavy ax martial skill. , the most important thing is the lethality and the ability to attack difficult problems. If you abandon the core capabilities, wouldn’t that mean you lose sight of one thing and lose the other?
"The low-level Wave Ax does lack lethality. That's because it lacks the core of this strategy - the silver talisman."
The style characteristic "Resonance" of Level 7 Awakening is actually just the precursor of the "Silver Talisman", which is a means of inserting the warrior's own power into the opponent's armor and body.
When those powers are accumulated to a certain level, you can use the silver charm to wake up and activate it!
[Wave Slashing Technique lvl0, Sect Core Ability, Silver Talisman Awakening: Awakens the power of 'resonance' in armor, weapons, and the body, and converts them into designated 'silver symbols' in an orderly manner.】
[Currently available silver patterns: water tiger pattern (7), cracked shark pattern (10), lantern fish pattern (2)]
This is obviously the trump card of the Korn Knight. The more powerful the silver charm, the more "minimum savings" are required, and each has its own prerequisites for use.
[Water Tiger Pattern: Physical contact must be made for more than two to six seconds before use (the required time decreases with the increase of resonance). 】
In fact, this condition is quite harsh. In actual combat, staying with your opponent for six seconds is simply a joke.
But...it counts when the weapons collide, so it also counts when they are connected by chains!
"...With the Silver Talisman, the Wave Slash method naturally only requires more 'hits' on the opponent. It is normal that the basic characteristics are to increase the range and endurance."
At this moment, when the water tiger pattern was fully activated, the metal body of the metal armor was trapped by the crazy inward repulsion and gravity.
From the beginning, the water tiger pattern was aimed at the indestructible steel body.
Facing the immobile steel giant, Lu Ping'an raised his battle ax and carried out a new round of slashing attacks without hesitation.
Once, twice, three times... After he didn't even remember how many blows he had struck, the eyes of the metal armor once again lit up with will-o'-the-wisps, and the tall metal body stood up again.
The power of the water tiger pattern has come to an end, and the Iron Athletic Knight is ready to tear this villain into pieces for humiliating him.
No matter how many slashes he strikes, what will happen if he lacks lethality?
But Lu Pingan looked at the steel giant in front of him with some sympathy.
"It's a pity that template creatures without intelligence, no matter how powerful they are, are still not as powerful as the real heroic knights..."
When the lance slammed down, Lu Pingan just watched calmly.
When Qianfeng touched his face, he snapped his fingers.
"Snapped!"
When the lance was only one finger away from his forehead, the tip of the lance stopped.
The steel body began to disintegrate, and silver lines spread from the inside to the outside. Pieces were split apart by the wind, and a group of sharks devoured the giant.
Finally, the fragments were blown away by the wind.
The gun and shield fell to the ground, but the man was gone.
Lu Ping'an sighed, picked up his battle ax, and walked to the next floor.
"...Power without wisdom is meaningless. You are not as difficult to deal with as the first-order shield and ax knight on the fifth floor..."
