Before War God O'Brien finished speaking, Dylan and Cesar were already like arrows leaving the string, taking the lead to pounce on their respective chosen Death Knight.

Dylan chose Death Knight who was holding a giant bone spear on the left. He moved and pulled out a series of blurry afterimages in the air. The speed was too fast to be caught by the naked eye, and he directly approached his opponent. The pale flames in Death Knight's eye sockets danced, and the bone spear carried a cold and biting breath, like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, piercing Dylan's face.

Dylan did not dodge or dodge, and the five fingers of his right hand were instantly covered with a layer of fine gray scales. The nails became sharp and black, and with a sharp sound like tearing Sky Splitter, he grabbed the bone spear forcefully.

"Qiang!"

The piercing sound of gold and iron clashed, and sparks flew everywhere. Dylan actually grabbed the bone spear containing terrifying power with his bare hands! His arm muscles tensed, and with a low roar, a tyrannical force burst out, forcefully breaking the bone. The spear and Death Knight on it staggered. At the same time, his left fist blasted out like a hammer, directly hitting Death Knight's head covered with black heavy armor. Wherever the wind of the fist passed, subtle ripples appeared in the space.

Death Knight reacted extremely quickly, and his free left hand instantly formed a thick bone shield.

"Boom!"

Dylan's fist hit the bone shield. The bone shield trembled violently and cracks spread. Death Knight and his mount were shaken backwards for dozens of meters, creating a deep ravine on the ground. From the pure force of the collision, Dylan clearly had the upper hand.

On the other side, Cesar's fighting style is completely different. His figure is like a ghost, erratic, flashing around the Death Knight on the right holding a pair of Bone Blade. Seven or eight phantoms of Cesar that are difficult to tell from fake appear in the field instantly, each exuding a similar aura, interfering with Death Knight's judgment.

The double blades of Death Knight danced wildly, and the pale white sword light crisscrossed, tearing apart the phantoms one after another. However, Cesar's real body could always avoid the attack without any delay, and like a gangrene attached to the bone, it used the inconspicuous black dagger in its hand to find a gap in Death Knight There were shallow scratches left on the joints and joints of's armor. The dagger seemed to possess some kind of strange power. Where it was scratched, the movement of the death energy would be momentarily stagnant. Cesar did not seek to kill with one hit. His purpose was to contain and interfere with his opponent, annoying him and exposing his flaws.

War God O'Brien and High Priestess Catherine did not join the battle group immediately. War God's whole body was filled with red flames, and his aura continued to condense and compress, obviously preparing for a powerful attack. High Priestess was holding an emerald green cane, and the soft light of life spread around her, forming a field. This Domain of Life The death auras emitted by and Death Knight collided and offset each other, making a "sizzling" sound, suppressing the power of Death Knight to a certain extent, and providing weak healing and status blessings to Dylan and Cesar.

Lin Qin was suspended in the air, his consciousness paying close attention to the two battles. At the same time, most of his mind was immersed in the perception of the attack methods of the two Death Knight. He could clearly "see" the flow of energy in Death Knight's body and weapons. When the one fighting Dylan's bone spear thrust out, it was not It is a simple energy impact, but it contains an extremely condensed and penetrating method of using power. Each blow seems to be able to concentrate the power on one point, erupting with destructive power far beyond the surface. This kind of extreme control and efficiency of power is completely different from the method of exerting force that he is used to before, which is more focused on range conduction and concussion, but it vaguely comes from the same source, and it all belongs to the understanding of "force".

He felt that the bottleneck he had encountered in the use of power for a long time, the feeling that it was difficult to truly grasp the core through a layer of gauze, seemed to have a slight sign of loosening when he observed the attack of Death Knight. His body The source of power, which has been tempered countless times and has long surpassed ordinary understanding, began to become active under this external stimulation and the extreme concentration given by "Heaven Rewards Diligence", spontaneously simulating and analyzing the mystery of cohesion and penetration.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The double-edged Death Knight that was entangled by Cesar seemed to be completely angered by Cesar's slippery guerrilla tactics. It let out a silent soul roar, and the death energy around it suddenly exploded, clearing most of the phantoms around Cesar. It abandoned its spirit A living double-edged attack, the two Bone Blades were violently crossed on the chest, and a heart-stopping Destruction sexual energy began to gather crazily. A dazzling pale light lit up above the Bone Blade. The surrounding air seemed to be drained, and the light was distorted. It was obvious that some kind of powerful range attack was brewing.

"Be careful!" High Priestess Catherine warned, and Domain of Life's light suddenly became stronger, rushing towards Death Knight like a tide, trying to suppress and purify the gathered terrifying death energy.

War God O'Brien looked sharply, and the red flame condensed in front of him had been compressed to the extreme, turning into an extremely condensed line of fire that was about to shoot out.

However, Lin Qin, who had been observing quietly, moved.

This is the moment he has been waiting for! The moment when the opponent accumulates strength, concentrates all his strength and energy on one point, and intends to unleash the strongest blow, it is also the moment when his defense and adaptability are relatively weak! This is not only an opportunity to attack, but also an excellent opportunity for him to verify his new understanding of power!

"Whoops!"

Lin Qin's figure turned into a solid khaki stream of light, bursting at speed, but he did not rush straight towards the charged Death Knight, but moved forward zigzag in a strange trajectory that contained his unique understanding and vaguely resonated with the surrounding environment, fast and elusive, as if he himself had become a part of this space Pulsation.

The Death Knight sensed the danger, and the gathered energy paused slightly, and the Soul Fire flashed violently, but with the arrow on the string, it still resolutely swung its crossed double blades forward!

"Death Cross Slash!"

An incomparably huge pale white energy cross composed of pure death energy tore through Sky Splitter, carrying the terrifying power of destroying all life, crushing towards Lin Qin and Cesar and High Priestess behind him. Wherever it passed, the ground was plowed into deep ravines, and even the air made a corroded hissing sound.

Facing this attack that could severely damage or even kill ordinary Lowgod, Lin Qin's expression remained unchanged and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He did not choose to attack this huge energy body, nor did he completely dodge. At the moment when the energy cross was about to approach, his right fist seemed to be slow, but in fact it was thrown forward extremely fast.

On his fist, the khaki divine power is highly condensed. It is no longer the previous method of exerting force that causes large-scale vibrations, but displays an unprecedented heavy and stable artistic conception, as if all the power is compressed into a square inch. This is an attempt to forcibly combine the physical strength that he has tempered for a long time, the understanding of power transmission shock, and the inspiration of "condensation and penetration" that he just realized when observing Death Knight's attack!

He did not fight against the overall power of Death Cross Slash - that was undoubtedly stupid. Instead, he put all his mind and power, including the powerful physical power, the pure Earth Divine Power, and the original All the "condensation" thoughts that arise are concentrated on the point of the fist, as if the whole body's strength is twisted into an indestructible drill, and it clicks with incomparable precision on the "node" at the core of the energy cross, where the energy flow is the most active and the most unstable!

"Buzz--!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an extremely dull hum that seemed to come from the depths of the earth. The huge pale white energy cross suddenly stagnated at the core node hit by Lin Qin's fist, as if a high-speed rotating gear had been stuck into an iron nail! The interior was originally The steadily flowing death energy instantly lost its balance and became chaotic. The structure began to collapse from the inside. Then, like a building with its load-bearing pillars shattered, countless cracks quickly spread from the point where it was clicked, and finally collapsed, turning into pale light spots floating in the sky and dissipating in the air.

Take the Point-Break side! Precise strike!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cesar, who was already ready to attack, silently appeared behind Death Knight, who was broken by a full-strength blow and fell into a brief backlash and stiffness. The black dagger was like a poisonous snake spitting a message. Without any extra movement, it penetrated the tiny gap between his helmet and neck armor with incomparable precision, and a strange and domineering destructive energy was instantly injected into the core of his soul.

At the same time, War God O'Brien's long-prepared attack also arrived. The extremely condensed crimson line of fire arrived last, carrying all-burning heat, ignoring the obstacles of space, and directly bombarded Death Knight's chest, which was relatively weak in defense due to the use of his ultimate move!

"Boom!"

This time it was a solid energy explosion. The thick armor on Death Knight's chest melted and vaporized, and a huge hole was blown open along with the body inside. The violent Fire Element divine power poured in, burning the death energy in its core crazily. amount. The Soul Fire in its eye sockets flickered violently for several times like a candle in the wind, letting out a silent wail, and was finally extinguished completely. The white bones Nightmare Beast under its body also let out a shrill wail and turned into a pile of dead bones scattered on the ground.

Almost at the same time, Dylan on the other side seemed to have lost the patience to continue fighting. After a long battle, the opponent's tenacious defense and fearless counterattack also aroused his ferocity.

"Heaven Swallower!"

A low but majestic roar came from Dylan's throat. In the void behind him, a huge, blurry beast-headed phantom appeared. The phantom opened its mouth as if it could swallow up the world, and an irresistible terrifying devouring power instantly enveloped the Death Knight and his mount who were fighting him.

The bone spear pierced by Death Knight became distorted and dimmed under the devouring force, and the death energy condensed on it was quickly drawn away like a stream flowing into the sea. Its entire body, together with its mount, was uncontrollably pulled toward the huge mouth of the beast-headed shadow by an invisible force, as if the void turned into the Return to Void where all things end.

It struggled hard, the Soul Fire in its eyes burned to the extreme, and Death Divine Power exploded wildly, trying to stabilize itself, but it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, unable to break free from this terrifying magical power derived from its bloodline talent.

In just one breath, Death Knight and his mount were completely swallowed up by the beast-headed phantom and disappeared. Only the bone spear that lost all its luster and became like an ordinary withered bone was left on the spot. It fell to the ground with a clang. The phantom behind Dylan slowly dissipated. His face paled slightly, and then returned to normal. It was obvious that using this gifted magical power took a lot of effort from him.

The battle ended suddenly and efficiently. The two Death Knights, who had close to Lowgod's peak combat power, enough to put ordinary God-level strong men into a tough fight, were quickly eliminated with the cooperation of the five God-levels who either cleverly restrained them, or violently exploded, or used precise attacks.

Dead silence returned to the edge of the canyon, only the black vortex on the Bone Altar was still slowly rotating, exuding an ominous atmosphere, leading to the unknown Thirteenth Floor.

Cesar put away the dagger, his figure was solid, he patted his chest, breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled at Lin Qin, "Brother Lin Qin, thank you so much just now! If you hadn't been there in time I was able to defeat that big guy's killing move. Although I was able to dodge it, brother, I still had to be embarrassed. That punch of yours - tsk tsk, that's interesting!" He looked at Lin Qin with a bit of real recognition and curiosity.

War God O'Brien and High Priestess Catherine also looked at Lin Qin, with unconcealable surprise in his eyes. They originally thought that Lin Qin had just joined God-level, and his strength should be the most in need of running-in and protection. They just asked him to be responsible for coordination and observation, and also had the intention of taking care of the newcomers. Unexpectedly, he would not By merely observing the subtleties, he was able to step forward at critical moments and demonstrated such a precise and terrifying ability to break moves. The punch just now seemed simple and unpretentious, but it contained a deep understanding of the nature of power and extremely precise control. The actual combat ability it displayed was no less than or even surpassed those of the veteran God-level in some aspects.

Dylan walked over, without looking at the discarded bone spear on the ground. His eyes fell on Lin Qin. In his cold and indifferent eyes, there was less of the casualness before, but more of scrutiny and faint recognition. "Not bad.

It seems that you can take care of yourself in the coming journey." His words were still concise and cold, but this was a rare affirmation from this proud King of Warcraft.

Lin Qin slowly closed his fist, and the blood and divine power that had boiled slightly due to the concentrated blow just now calmed down quickly. He felt the feeling of extreme compression and explosion of power left in his fist, and he felt something in his heart. The punch just now was not only a successful attack for him, but also an important one. Verification. He could clearly feel that the barrier that had been bothering him about how to use his own power more efficiently and cohesively seemed to have been opened up by the practice just now. As expected, actual combat, especially the non-fancy life-and-death battles and observations with strong men, is one of the fastest ways to improve "effort" and provide the most direct feedback.

"Some gain." Lin Qin calmly responded to everyone's gaze, without pride or humility, as if he was just stating a fact. His eyes once again turned to the deep rotating black vortex on Bone Altar, "The entrance to Thirteenth Floor has been opened. Shall we rest for a while before entering?"

War God O'Brien also looked at the whirlpool and nodded solemnly. "Adjust your breath in place and recover as soon as possible. Thirteenth Floor, will only be more weird and dangerous than this twelfth floor. Stay vigilant and don't be careless."

Everyone nodded silently, and no one raised any objection. After the battle just now, the subtle barriers and temptations caused by the gap in strength and strangeness between the five God-level seemed to have melted away a lot. In this crisis-ridden Graveyard of the Gods, strength is the most fundamental pass and right to speak. Lin Qin used his performance just now to prove that he has the qualifications to occupy a place.

Dylan walked aside, closed his eyes and concentrated, quickly recovering from the consumption of using his innate magical power. Cesar came to the side of High Priestess with a playful smile, rubbing against the recovery effect brought by Domain of Life. War God O'Brien checked its own status to ensure that Fire Divine Power was operating normally. High Priestess Catherine continued to maintain Domain of Life, and its soft light nourished everyone's bodies and spirits.

Lin Qin also found a relatively flat place to sit down cross-legged. He did not immediately fall into deep meditation, but carefully recalled every detail of the battle just now, especially Death Knight's condensed and penetrating attack method and his last feeling of condensing a Point-Break cross-cut. He combined these two pairs of power movements. He constantly compares, disassembles, and fuses his understanding in his mind. The characteristics of "Heaven Rewards Diligence" allow his thinking to operate to the extreme, constantly optimizing his own power system. He vaguely feels that if he can completely grasp and integrate the essence of this "condensation" into himself, his strength will usher in a qualitative leap, and it will not be limited to Earth Divine Clone.

The short rest time passed in silence, and the five God-level experts were making final preparations for the upcoming, more unknown and dangerous Thirteenth Floor. The black vortex on Bone Altar, like the eyes of the devil, was quietly waiting for their entry.
