The Twisted and Deformed Pointer Knight

"Da Yi!?"

Jiang Chi's expression changed drastically, and he was so shocked that his voice became distorted.

What is this Believer in "war" doing here?

He's one of the Hunter too!?

Is Cheng Shi Fate Weaver or Desire Master?

Could these people have all been brainwashed and controlled by him?

Jiang Chi dared not be careless. Seeing that sliver of light rushing straight towards his head, he gritted his teeth and swung his sword to meet it.

As the sword tip, brimming with the power of [Time], traced a half-circle above his head, Da Yi, who had almost reached Jiang Chi's face in an instant, suddenly froze just before the iron spike was about to strike its target.

Along with him, the surrounding wind and snow also froze.

Space has been frozen in time!

Seeing that he had subdued the [War] Assassin was right in front of him, Jiang Chi had no intention of retaliating. The long sword he had just raised was quickly swung forward again, and at the same time he retreated rapidly, taking a few steps back to the high wall, where he stood with his back against it.

As he retreated, the figure of Gongyang Jiao appeared from a hurricane, also frozen in front of him, right where he had been.

Everyone moved!

The Screaming Count seized the opportunity, but the Pointer Knight's reaction was clearly superior. He timely stopped the attack, but before he could catch his breath, the Hunter's arrow came flying through the air again.

Jiang Chi swung his longsword like an umbrella, deflecting the first few arrows, but unfortunately, the arrows kept coming one after another. He had too little space to maneuver, and could only freeze all the arrows in mid-air once again.

The Chameleon, watching from afar, frowned slightly, immediately changed position to find an angle, and drew its bow again to fire. Meanwhile, the other of the four Hunter, Poison, she...

It disappeared.

Just as Jiang Chi was intently searching for her without even blinking, a soft laugh suddenly came from the thick wall behind him.

"Sir Knight, which is harder, the city wall or the persimmon?"

Jiang Chi was startled. He abruptly sheathed his sword and struck backward with the hilt. At the same time, the power of [Time] around him frantically condensed, freezing the space behind him against the city wall. Then, a crisp "bang" was heard as the hilt of his sword struck a solid wall. There was no sign of Poison behind him.

It's a falsetto!

Jiang Chi frowned and glanced back slightly, but in that instant, a snow-white figure suddenly shot out from behind a snowflake in front of him. A figure Assassin Poison approached him without warning, a smile playing on its lips, its hands flashing with the Dance With Me sword. Before Jiang Chi's shocked eyes, the figure swiftly slashed the Pointer Knight's thigh.

The Poison was originally intended for Jiang Chi's hand holding the Pocket Watch. She observed that the Pocket Watch might be the source of Jiang Chi's ability to freeze time, so she wanted to cripple Jiang Chi's left hand.

Although Jiang Chi was surprised, his reaction was not slow at all. The moment the Poison appeared, he raised his leg and knee to counterattack. The timing of this attack was perfect, just when the Poison had nowhere to borrow strength.

Left with no other option, the Assassin had to make a cut on his thigh.

Blood splattered, penetrating deep into his flesh. The wound was very deep, and under the pull of desire, Jiang Chi trembled violently.

The Assassin struck and fled without hesitation, but Jiang Chi was not about to suffer in silence. He raised his hand again and pointed his Pocket Watch in the direction the Poison had left, freezing the space before the Poison disappeared.

Although the Assassin had already concealed himself in the snow and no one could be seen in the frozen space, the enraged Pointer Knight still had a way to retaliate with some damage, and that way was AOE (Area of Effect).

Jiang Chi, enduring excruciating pain, leaped high into the air, first dodging two volleys of arrows from the Chameleon, then wielding his longsword like the wind, indiscriminately slicing through the space where the Poison had vanished.

Of the Hunter present, the only one he could directly confront Poison, who wasn't known for his fighting prowess.

After the other party was brought under control, he felt even more confident.

This indiscriminate attack, resembling a wild slash, was very effective, and soon four or five hideous bloodstains appeared in the upper part of this space.

Hot blood gushed out, outlining a curvaceous figure in mid-air. The Assassin broke stealth the moment he was attacked.

Once an Assassin loses his disguise and is pinned to the ground, he is likely to face a tragic end.

Seeing that he had found the other party's location, Jiang Chi sneered and flung his long sword out, aiming straight for the Poison's back!

Just then, Da Yi recovered.

The spacetime that had the First been frozen finally shattered. The Assassin of [War] cursed under his breath, his brow furrowed, and he rushed towards Jiang Chi's direction. For a top-tier Assassin with agile skills, the distance of a few steps was less than a blink of an eye.

Da Yi shrewdly seized the opportunity when Jiang Chi threw his sword, flashing past the Poison who was about to be struck, without any intention of helping him, and charged straight at Jiang Chi.

The iron spikes in his hands fluttered like butterflies, reflecting an eerie light in the dim snowstorm. The rays of light, like thin threads, surrounded and trapped Jiang Chi against the wall. He looked burly and strong, but his agility was truly ghostly. In the blink of an eye, he was already close to Jiang Chi.

Although Jiang Chi's face was gloomy, he was still not afraid. He had somehow drawn a short blade that was only half the length of the previous Hour Hand sword. He mustered all his strength and instead of stabbing at Da Yi in front of him, he struck the light that was wrapped around him.

The filamentous light should have been invisible, but when the sword blade struck it, a metallic clang was heard. However, the force of the strike seemed insufficient, failing to sever the sliver trap that had imprisoned him in place.

Seeing this, Da Yi chuckled and seized the opportunity to raise his hand and deliver an upward thrust.

Six daggers simultaneously!

"Laugh--"

Six bloody holes were instantly torn open in Jiang Chi's chest and abdomen. Iron spikes, like shuttles, pierced through his body, and the six iron spikes returned from the air. Da Yi grabbed them and pulled them again.

"Puff--"

The fine threads, like knives, sliced Jiang Chi's body into countless pieces.

To everyone's astonishment, this Assassin of "War" seemed to have ended the war in an instant.

But is that really the case?

No, it's fake.

After winning the victory, Da Yi suddenly felt a sense of disorientation, and then realized that everything that had just happened seemed unreal. The Memory that were gradually fading from his consciousness slowly turned into a blur, making it impossible to grasp any details.

He opened his eyes again in astonishment, finding himself still at the spot where he had first attacked Jiang Chi. The Poison was pinned to the high wall by the longsword, Gongyang Jiao had somehow advanced a few meters but was now trapped in another time-frozen state, unable to escape. Only the Chameleon remained...

He was currently wielding a longbow and engaging in close combat with the Pointer Knight who had just broken through the encirclement; the fight was evenly matched.

Seeing this, Da Yi was both shocked and furious.

The trap of deducing time!

The Pointer Knight had somehow set up a deduction trap above his head, waiting for him to jump in!

Fortunately, he won the battle in this simulation; otherwise, if the opponent had had the tool to overwrite the simulation, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

How can this soldier have so many tricks up his sleeve?!

Shouldn't warriors be reckless and charge around recklessly? Why is it that when they fight, it's all about calculation?

However, to be fair, Jiang Chi's image is indeed somewhat distorted or even deformed in Da Yi's eyes. This Pointer Knight is indeed very powerful, but his power does not quite match the title of "Pointer Knight".

The opponent has a keen intuition for timing, but in practice, the effectiveness of their timing mostly relies on the freezing of time; the opponent also has the physique of a warrior, but in terms of strength... they are only comparable to a peak Hunter.

The opponent does look like a warrior, but his combat power is not as ferocious as that of a peak warrior. His attack methods are more of a combination of innate skills. But the problem is that Pointer Knight should be a warrior with ferocious combat power. You have to know that the blessing that [Time] gives them is to accurately seize the opportunity. If such a warrior is not strong, what use is it even if he seizes the opportunity?

Just like now, even though he had so many people under his control, he still chose to withdraw and break out of the encirclement.

If the person controlling the situation were themselves or Gongyang Jiao, the controlled enemy would probably be smashed to pieces.

"Damn, that's really strange!"

Da Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, no longer dwelling on what had happened to him, and instantly rejoined the battle.
