Li Wen didn't answer. It was too late to escape. Now that he had been discovered, the only options left were to fight or surrender.
The body acted before the thoughts, Li Wen rolled violently to the side, and Crow Feather Dagger slipped silently into the palm of the hand.
The moment she rolled, a heavy sound of breaking through the air followed, as if an invisible giant hammer hit her original location. Li Wen caught a glimpse of a huge shadow passing by, which was the arm waving by the Highland Race man. The arm was as thick as a tree trunk, carrying terrifying power.
She rolled between a row of wooden benches, her cloak scraping against the cold ground.
"There won't be a next time."
Highland Race said calmly. At the same time, he took off the battle ax from his waist. The ax blade flashed coldly under the reflection of the weak light at the top of the church. A thick aura spread out, not like a well-trained guard, but more like a beast awakening from the wild land, with a primitive and pure sense of oppression.
What's even more troublesome is that there are noisy sounds outside the church, heavy footsteps and vague shouts approaching. It seems that the movement here has attracted the attention of other guards.
Li Wen did not hesitate and quickly ended his prayer.
Ignite The candles with pitch-black flames appeared in vain, bringing a darkness deeper than the night to this place.
When the guards broke through the door, what they saw was pitch black, as if something had swallowed up the surrounding light in an instant, pulling a large area in the center of the hall into a darkness that was deeper and purer than ordinary shadows. The guards let out a cry of surprise, and their footsteps stopped hesitantly outside the dark realm.
Highland Race's movements were stagnant for a moment. He couldn't see what was happening, but he could feel the power of darkness biting him.
Taking advantage of the opponent's brief flaw, Li Wen jumped out from behind the bench. The dagger in his hand was imbued with Radiance's magic power. The dazzling light that should have shone was swallowed up by the candle before it appeared.
Her movements were quick and quiet, the soles of her boots barely making any sound.
However, Highland Race's reaction speed exceeded her expectations. After a delay of less than half a second, he suddenly turned his head and locked her position easily. With a low roar, the huge battle ax struck Li Wen with a sound of breaking through the air.
The tomahawk was swung with a terrifying force. Li Wen did not choose to catch it hard, but jumped back lightly to avoid it. The tomahawk hit the church floor heavily, causing gravel to fly and the ground to crack.
It seemed that it was impossible to resolve the battle without causing more noise. Li Wen's eyes narrowed. She quickly took out a candle from her pocket, held it in her hand and recited a prayer in a low voice. At the same time as the candle Ignite itself, Li Wen cast Dark Word Curse on Highland Race people.
A shadow swept towards the Highland Race person. The opponent was keenly aware of it and tried to dodge, but the shadow still hit the opponent. With a muffled groan, black blood spilled from Highland Race's mouth and nose, but that was all. His body swayed slightly and he was freed from the curse.
Highly resistant to curses?
Li Wen doesn't care much, all she needs is to delay for a moment.
The candle in her hand spontaneously ignited silently, and Devotion to Light and Fire started.
The blood boils in the blood vessels, and a hot and powerful force surges throughout the body instantly. She could feel her bones moaning faintly, her muscles tensing, and her originally nimble and light body seemed to have been injected with infinite power. Life is passing quickly, but in exchange, physical strength and speed have been greatly improved.
At the moment when the power exploded, Li Wen's speed almost doubled. She was like a dark lightning. Before Highland Race could completely lock on her and the battle ax was still charging, she rushed in front of him.
Crow Feather Dagger carries the enchantment of Spell-less Arc Light, and with the blessing of high physical strength, Li Wen's attacks become extremely fast and violent. The dagger draws sharp arcs, aiming directly at Highland Race's vital points.
The sparks of metal collision flickered briefly in the darkness, and battle axes and daggers made harsh friction sounds in the high-frequency exchanges. The Highland Race man barely parried with his amazing strength and reaction speed, but faced with the speed and flexibility of Li Wen's explosion, he began to look a little embarrassed.
Although he tried his best to parry and dodge, Li Wen's dagger still hit him. Although it failed to cause any visible damage to Highland Race's thick and tough body, the pain and bleeding effects of the dagger continued to consume his vitality.
Coupled with the mixed damage from Candle of Darkness from time to time, as the battle progressed, Highland Race felt that he was increasingly unable to do his job.
If this continues, let alone stopping the intruder, whether he can survive is a question.
Realizing this, Highland Race let out an angry roar. He no longer tried to lock Li Wen accurately, but instead swung the battle ax with pure power, trying to push her back or hit her directly with a range of attacks. The battle ax was swung wildly, and every sweep or slash brought with it a strong air flow, and even the ground and walls could not withstand this force and cracks appeared.
The benches and pillars in the church were shattered by the bombardment of tomahawks, and wood chips and stones were flying everywhere. Li Wen had to keep moving to avoid these deadly attacks and flying debris.
Candle of Darkness is still burning, and the dark realm is maintained. The guards outside do not dare to break into this strange darkness easily. They shout anxiously at the door or use torches to try to disperse the darkness, but with little success.
Li Wen calmly observed his opponent during the high-speed battle. He is indeed powerful. His strength and endurance are far beyond those of ordinary extraordinary beings. He is also somewhat resistant to curses. Although he cannot see, he has a terrifying and sharp intuition like a beast. Facing such an opponent, it seems unrealistic to resolve the battle quickly.
We have to find a way...
His fighting style seems to be relatively direct, relying more on pure power. In the face of Li Wen's explosive speed, his perception and reaction began to lag. Moreover, when he moves in the dark realm, he seems to deliberately move in a certain direction, or react slightly slower to attacks from a certain angle.
Is it a blind spot in perception? Like the blind spot in her left eye?
Li Wen's heart moved. She no longer rushed directly to attack, but moved around Highland Race at high speed. At the same time, she constantly tested his perception and reaction through slight changes in movements, and deliberately tried to launch feint attacks from various angles to observe the key points and weaknesses of his defense.
Highland Race seemed even more agitated. He waved his tomahawk in the dark, trying to drive away these annoying "mosquitoes". His perception seemed to be disturbed by Li Wen's high-speed, irregular movement and Lost Moth's teleportation, and he could no longer lock her precise position as easily as before.
That's it now!
Li Wen ducked behind Highland Race's right side. Highland Race turned his body subconsciously, but the next moment Li Wen appeared on his left side.
The jet-black dagger stabbed out like a poisonous snake, stabbing the left side of Highland Race's neck silently.
Highland Race Man didn't sense the threat until the dagger was approaching. He let out a roar and tried to block it with his arm or a battle ax, but the dagger was too fast and the angle was tricky.
"Pfft!"
The sound of daggers piercing flesh could clearly be heard in the church.
The effects of Scarlet Curse and Lethal Pain took effect immediately, and the wounds began to ooze blood crazily. The severe pain made Highland Race's huge body stiffen suddenly.
He let out an inhuman cry of pain, and the battle ax slipped from his hand and hit the ground hard. His huge body fell to his knees due to severe pain, and blood spurted out from the wound in his neck like a faucet.
Li Wen did not hesitate at all. Without knowing the enemy's path, even a seemingly fatal injury may be just a short-lived flaw. Whether it is blood lust or Calamity Nightmare's transcendent has the ability to recover from such trauma, Devotion to Light and Fire's effect is about to end, and she must leave immediately.
She took back Candle of Darkness, and the dark realm instantly dissipated, and the light in the church hall was restored, revealing a devastated scene: broken benches, damaged walls, fallen candlesticks, and a Highland Race person kneeling on the ground, covering his neck with his right hand, with a mixture of pain and anger on his face.
When the guards at the door saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment, then exclaimed and rushed in immediately.
Li Wen ignored them. She turned on Witch State, and her petite body instantly rose into the air. Before the guards rushed up, she quickly flew away from the side window of the church like a black bat and disappeared into the Port Belen night.
