Monarch of Evernight: One Thirty Six Stubborn Enemies
bsp;After a round of intensive bullet rain, 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 of them spoke at the same time. Although they used different languages, it did not prevent them from understanding each other's meaning and mood.
The joy of Qianye's impending breakthrough 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 have 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 is quite far from the area where the two of them fought last time. But unexpectedly, I met Aiden here again.
Aiden held a short knife in his right hand, and the black devilish 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.
Obviously after Aiden was attacked, the hastily activated defense still blocked the attacks of Bloody Mandala and Phantom Manjusawa, and he was also preparing to counterattack his opponent with close combat.
The fact that the demon race is physically weak compared to several other dark races does not mean that the human race 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 troublesome than the secret combat skills of the human race that bring to the dark powerhouses.
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 puff of demonic energy will knock down enemies. The effects of some special attributes of the force that human warriors have cultivated may be weakened.
Aiden has a place in the Deep Dark Abyss and the Eternal Night Council. 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 the heavy sniper. Since the opponent's concentrated fire failed to break through his defense, Aiden was not prepared to counterattack in a roundabout way, and directly planned to use Defeat enemies in melee combat.
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 strength is not a shortcoming, but in front of Qianye, who is heavily armored and has a heavy sword, it is really a shortcoming. There was only one true close combat between the two. As soon as they fought, Aiden was almost cut in half by Dongyue with his sword. Since then, Aiden has refused to approach Qianye's melee range even to death.
The distance between the two parties now seems a bit awkward.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them moved first.
Qianye suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart. This was the first time that he saw Aiden clearly from the front at a full range of sight. The first reaction was that the accuracy of the Li family's intelligence drawing was about seventy or eighty percent. Then the feeling of déjà vu arose again. Qianye always felt that he had seen this demon descendant somewhere.
Aiden made a quick decision and turned around and left. Qianye naturally refused to let go of this formidable enemy so easily 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 a close battle is the best whetstone. Both sides find that their opponents are 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, and he was no longer nearly killed in one encounter like the first time. This difference alone gave him room to maneuver and escape from close combat 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 storm. With such a counterattack, the hunter turned into the 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 use giant tree sap to replenish the force, you still have to rely on Yaopian refining, otherwise the absorption rate will be greatly reduced.
But now that battles break out all the time, taking a few minutes to do some luck is an extremely luxurious act, and it also involves a lot of risk.
Qianye was about to take a rest when he suddenly turned his head 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 twin guns to fuse is enough for Aiden to escape the lock. As for Aiden, his short gun was powerful enough, but if Qianye wasn't seriously injured by one shot, he would have to face a heavy sword that seemed to be able to cut through mountains.
That was the case with this encounter. Qianye held a piece of dried meat in his hand, which was the standard field ration of the imperial military. In Aiden's hand was a bottle of medicine, which had just been half applied to the wound. The appearance of the son of a famous demon descendant was even more embarrassing than Qianye's, with black eyes and sunken cheeks. There were still 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 plop, 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 unparalleled danger from Qianye himself, as if there was 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 of them were competing 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 and kill this powerful enemy in one fell swoop. However, Aiden has shown endless abilities, especially the ability to break free from locks instantly and the ability to break away at an explosive speed that is close to teleportation. Qianye is not sure that he will be able to hit Aiden. And if the original spear misses, it will be Qianye's turn to be slaughtered.
Both sides had their own concerns. After a while, they slowly retreated in tacit agreement and disappeared into the thick fog. Since you are not sure, let's start the game again and see who can take the advantage and become a hunter.
Unconsciously, 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 are also constantly honed in the life and death situation. 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 are like skilled chess players who try again and again but never come up with the ultimate move. Because there is no opportunity, and at the same time, the other party is not given a chance. The final result was that when the fight was exhausted, there were no injuries at all.
Perhaps even they themselves are not aware that the result of such a battle has made their combat skills improve by leaps and bounds, and it can barely be called an art.
Qianye has gradually come up with the idea that the only way to kill Aiden is to pay a sufficient price to get close and then use the Nirvana Sword to seal the outcome. However, the price will definitely be a heavy blow. However, Aiden is not an easy person to deal with, and he will not give Qianye such a chance at all.
Soon after retreating, Qianye charged 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 held a heavy sniper. Qianye believed that Aiden would never be able to refuse such a temptation.
This was indeed a great temptation. Aiden struggled repeatedly and finally decided to take action. He knew that this 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 just wanted to severely injure the opponent and tilt the situation slightly towards his side.
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 incredibly strong, but his recovery speed from injuries was also incredibly fast. If this continues, he will 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 one meter laterally by the huge impact of the bullet. However, Qianye did not rush over as quickly 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 wary was turning into an ancient beast. The ferocious beast slowly wakes up.
Ignoring 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 a thousand meters away. He was no longer running, but flying, and the billowing demonic energy drew a tangible trajectory with a slight arc.
A ray of light silently attached to the wake at some point. No matter what happened along the way, giant trees, substrate, or fog, nothing could stop it. On the way forward, nothing was an obstacle, just like a minute. It disappeared quietly like a shortened demonic energy.
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 the trunk of a giant tree in front of him silently A hole appears.
However, Aiden did not completely escape the attack. The armor on his arms 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 shaved off the 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 hexagonal passage. The strange thing is that this passage completely ignores the giant tree body and branches in front of it, as if it appears 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.
