Elysia Beat Kevin Up-Just Kidding
The streets of Taiyu and Taiyu are intertwined under the twilight. Facing Sakura's fierce offensive, Zhu Yufeng, who has been beaten by Sakura for several months, said that he can now keep up with Sakura's speed!
Although he still couldn't beat Sakura with a spear, since the Saber class counters the Spear class (just kidding), Zhu Yufeng wasn't someone who didn't know how to adapt. If he couldn't beat Sakura with a spear, he could switch to a sword. It wasn't that he didn't know how to use a sword. He had more than just Black Abyss White Flower and Divine Grace Judgment. He also had the Xuanyuan Sword, which almost everyone had.
During the months that Sakura had "beaten" him, his swordsmanship had improved considerably. It was much better than before when he would just throw bricks with his sword and rely on brute force to follow the basic swordsmanship taught by the Fire Moth and swing around randomly based on his own feelings.
Although he was still far from being as good as Ying, Zhu Yufeng estimated that if he continued to fight like this, he would be defeated in no time.
However... after Zhu Yufeng barely blocked Sakura's attack, he forcefully flung out his weapon to create enough buffer distance between himself and Sakura's weapon, and then quickly drew his gun and fired at Sakura.
Sakura, times have changed!
Sakura was completely stunned by Zhu Yufeng's sudden move. Zhu Yufeng didn't just fire one shot; he completely depleted Sakura's life points.
Actually, it's not fair to blame Sakura for being careless. The main reason is that Zhu Yufeng always trained very honestly with a sword and got beaten up, so Sakura subconsciously overlooked the possibility that Zhu Yufeng might use a gun in this fight.
Another factor is that Sakura never treated Zhu Yufeng as an enemy or fought him; she treated this encounter as just another training session.
Sakura wasn't angry; she just smiled and said, "You won, Kaede."
After changing the magazine, Zhu Yufeng said with a hint of smugness, "After all, I also know how to use surprise attacks."
That's the Circle Style Iaido! All that training he did in his past life to improve his drawing and firing speed wasn't for White Comet!
Then Zhu Yufeng suddenly felt someone hit him a few times from behind, and then his life points were cleared.
He was taken aback at first, then turned around speechlessly. Pardo gave him a "V" sign and said, "Brother Yu Feng, this is what they call 'the oriole stalks the cicada, the cat steals the queen'!"
Zhu Yufeng tapped Pardo on the head. "It's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole stealing the queen."
"But I'm just a cat~" Pardo stuck out her tongue. "Besides, Brother Yu Feng, didn't you have a bunch of wings when you Artificial Collapse?"
"So you were targeting me from the start?" Zhu Yufeng looked at the smiling Sakura and then at the smug Pardo. "I thought Elysia would arrange for Pardo to fight Kevin with her."
"Oh, this? Sister Elysia she's going to have a good showdown with Kevin today, and Brother Yu Feng, your combat awareness is higher than Boss Kevin and Amo's, so she asked us to find a chance to eliminate you together with Sister Ying." Pardo shrugged and said, "I didn't expect that I would actually eliminate Brother Yu Feng, the leader of the Fallen Angel! I think I can brag about that!"
Zhu Yufeng stroked his chin, looking at the training ring blade in Pardo's hand, and said, "So why didn't you use a gun in the first place? Sakura wouldn't have switched with me then, right?"
Pardo said somewhat embarrassedly, "Because with our shooting scores... we're afraid we might accidentally knock Sakura out of the game."
Then, as if she had realized something, Pardo pouted and looked at Zhu Yufeng, saying, "Brother Yu Feng, you cheated! I'm not saying anything more! Now we 'The Present to work with Hua to get Amo out of the game!"
After saying that, Pardo ran off in a flash.
Zhu Yufeng smiled helplessly. He really didn't have that thought. Then he began to look around at the environment. So, Pardo was hiding in the shadows of dusk just now, and his attention was on Sakura at the time, so he didn't notice her, right?
Actually, Pardo is more suited to be a scout than a guerrilla fighter. On the one hand, her long-range support ability is not very good, and guerrilla fighters need to be able to restrain from a distance. Pardo's skills in tracking and stealth are perfect for being a scout.
"Looks like we're going to lose," Zhu Yufeng said, looking at Bi Ying.
He was eliminated due to his carelessness. Although he brought Sakura with him, Kevin and Kosma alone had to fight against Elysia, Pardo, and Hua...
To be honest, Zhu Yufeng doesn't think Kevin and Kosma can win.
"After all, Elysia really wants to win," Sakura said somewhat helplessly. "According to the rules, our team's life points should be halved, but... Kaede, aren't you going along with Elysia too much?"
"Kevin and the others didn't object, did they?" Zhu Yufeng shrugged. "Besides, Elysia ... it's just a little bit of indulgence, she deserves it."
"Is it... because of her relationship with you?" Sakura asked, feeling a little envious. After all, Sakura was a girl too, and she would also hope that the boy she liked would be more accommodating to her.
"Perhaps that's part of it; Elysia and I have indeed gotten quite close lately," Zhu Yufeng said. "But I think the bigger reason is... all the efforts and sacrifices she made in her previous life. She deserves to be treated kindly by the world."
Sakura paused for a moment, then said, "Maple, you're the same."
"Me? I don't really care about these things," Zhu Yufeng said with a smile. "Because I don't have any enthusiasm for most people, and in my eyes most people are not worth knowing, so... I have never thought that I need others to do anything for me."
"So... do I belong to that majority? I mean, when we first met," Sakura asked again. She felt that compared to others, Yan Feng was probably closer to her, but she was still a little unsure.
She always felt that Feng initially cared about her because of her younger sister Ling... After all, Ling had mentioned Feng to her a lot in her previous life, so Ling must have mentioned her to Feng a lot as well.
She just wanted an answer; she had no other intentions...
Zhu Yufeng paused for a moment. When did he first meet Ying? Was it when she tried to assassinate Mei and was stopped by Kevin, resulting in Kevin being injured? No, he didn't interact with Ying much during that time. They truly got to know each other after the Ninth Law incident...
"No, it wasn't from the beginning," Zhu Yufeng said truthfully.
"Um... thank you." Sakura nodded, shifting her gaze to the virtual sunset. "After training today, can we play games together?"
Zhu Yufeng felt like he was already speeding down the road to becoming a playboy.
So... how exactly did he manage to max out everyone's favorability?!
On the other side.
Kevin dodged Elysia's arrow somewhat awkwardly. Because of Elysia's special nature, even though she was using a training bow, she could still use Honkai Energy condense into crystal arrows that didn't cause much damage.
His battle with Elysia was one-sided from the start. Elysia showed no signs of using her full strength, yet he was forced to seek cover and launch a counterattack under Elysia's fierce offensive.
Kevin thought to himself that he couldn't gain an advantage in ranged combat, and his only chance of winning was in close combat!
Having made up her mind Kevin immediately began to act. Elysia, who had taken up a high vantage point, naturally saw Kevin's movements clearly, and of course, she also knew what Kevin was thinking.
This was exactly what she wanted.
From the battle between Ritsuka Elysia and Mei in the Elysian Realm, it can be seen that Elysia's close combat ability is not weak. However, she doesn't like close combat most of the time, probably because... her fighting posture is not elegant or beautiful enough.
Elysia put the bow aside and picked up the training lance. The weapons used for training the Fire Moth included both training lances and training spears. Since Zhu Yufeng mostly used the Black Abyss White Flower separately, and the Black Abyss was more suited to the spear, he used the spear more often during training.
Actually, she really wanted to use the scepter she conjured after transforming into Lu Zi to smash Kevin, but she had already done it in the previous life, and in this life... she would definitely smash it again.
But not the Present.
Can you imagine how she felt when she waited so long for Zhu Yufeng, only to see Kevin arrive with an invitation instead?
I'm heartbroken, extremely heartbroken, and feel wronged, and I really want to beat Kevin up.
Then comes this life... Kevin been trying every means to sow discord between her and others. This time, she finally has a chance to openly and honestly confront Kevin, so she can't let Kevin off so easily.
It's okay if you can't use the scepter to hit the Kevin; you can use a lance just the same way.
