With a ripping sound, Li Wei slashed a huge gash in the Dark Knight's armor, and foul-smelling black blood gushed out from the wound.
Cloud Piercing Palm!
A solid palm strike landed on the Dark Knight's chest, sending Dark Knight sprawling backward and knocking several of his companions to the ground as well.
After more than ten hours of rest, Li Wei's mental strength had recovered by more than half. He now had 25 points of mental strength, enough to unleash the Three Mind Impact.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Wei's pupils contracted, and a powerful shockwave, like a raging flood, slammed the four Dark Knight against the wall.
The remaining Dark Knight were also knocked back more than ten meters.
One Dark Knight died and three were injured.
But this was a drop in the ocean, and soon the Dark Knight stepped over the corpses of their comrades and continued their charge upwards.
This was the first time Li Wei had encountered a 'sword master'. He was in a sorry state, with many wounds of varying depths on his body. Finally, due to a carelessness, his wrist was severed by the Crimson Sword of a Dark Knight.
We can't beat them!
Li Wei threw the Emperor's Scythe away, clutched his wound, and ran upwards. His Super Regeneration would take time, during which he would be unable to accomplish anything.
As they approached the entrance, Li Wei called out loudly to the reincarnators guarding the area, so they could prepare.
Having gone through a series of battles, the Reincarnators were no longer in the same state as they were two days ago when they first entered the dungeon. Especially after seeing that Li Wei's hand had been cut off, they were all on high alert.
After quickly glancing at the two stone carvings on either side of the entrance, Li Wei had an idea.
"Quickly, block the entrance with stone statues, leaving only enough space for one person to pass through..."
Li Wei's order was quickly carried out. Among the reincarnators, two of the stronger ones placed the stone sculptures across the entrance, instantly squeezing the originally three-meter-wide entrance down to just one meter.
The pursuing Dark Knight could only rush out through this narrow space. Of course, only one could come out at a time. Several reincarnators worked together to block the Dark Knight at the entrance, while the others blocked the only exit, thus creating a situation where many were fighting one.
When Zheng Yutong saw that Li Wei's right hand was bleeding profusely, she frowned and walked over.
"Does it hurt?" As she spoke, she took out Golden Sore Medicine and poured it onto Li Wei's wound.
"Thank goodness!" With his Regeneration abilities, Li Wei no longer took this level of injury seriously. Soon, his hand Regeneration, which took a lot of his strength.
"Be careful in the future. Regeneration consumes life force, and frequent use will shorten your lifespan!" Zheng Yutong said with some heartache.
Li Wei looked at her with some surprise, thinking to himself, "This girl has been acting strangely since just now. When did she become so gentle?"
It's best not to guess what a girl is thinking!
Li Wei shook hands with the newborn and joined the battle.
This impromptu tactic worked surprisingly well. Since they were facing only one Dark Knight at a time, everyone could fully utilize their special skills. Soon, more than a dozen Dark Knight left behind a lot of items and Treasure Chest and went to hell to fight their Demon King.
After sorting through the loot, I found two Crimson Swords.
One Legendary Sword.
One Little Angel.
Two white Treasure Chest.
It was a great haul. Li Wei directly asked for a Crimson Sword. Holding the cold, black hilt, the heavy feeling allowed him to feel the power of the sword. The crimson double-edged blade emitted a ghostly light, and when he swung it, it seemed to bring up a splash of blood.
Fine sword!
Looking at the crowd, they were all smiling broadly. However, this battle had exhausted them. If Li Wei hadn't come up with the "closing the door to beat the dog" tactic, they probably would have all died here.
The thought of fighting a dozen or so Dark Knight sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Li Wei didn't hide anything from everyone about the situation on the third floor. He told them directly that there was only one old boss left, the Demon Gordon. Once they defeated it, the dungeon run would be complete.
However, if even the Dark Knight is so difficult to deal with, then the Demon Gordon must be a formidable character as well.
Fortunately, there was still some time before the 72-hour deadline, so Li Wei could think of a tactic to deal with the Demon Gordon. Therefore, the group rested at the entrance to the third floor.
Li Wei sat upright on the ground, recalling the battle he had just fought with the Dark Knight. In a very short time, he had only memorized two of the opponent's sword techniques.
One sprint, one sweeping attack.
These were all incredibly simple moves, but why did the Dark Knight make them so powerful? Recalling the movements of his opponent when he executed those two moves, Li Wei still couldn't figure out what was so special about them.
They used the same weapon, applied the same force, and even had the same stance, so why did their auras differ so drastically?
It seems I still have a lot to learn!
Although he was sitting upright on the ground, Li Wei was constantly rehearsing the two moves of the Dark Knight in his mind, over and over again, until he felt as if all the muscles in his body were about to twitch. Suddenly, Li Wei stood up, gripped the Crimson Sword, and charged out.
'Swish'
With a whooshing sound, the sword steadily pierced through the air. It seemed ordinary and unremarkable, but it possessed the momentum to shatter everything. With just one strike, it attracted the attention of the crowd.
Knight No. 99's eyes lit up when he saw Li Wei's actions. He seemed to have also realized something, and he also gripped the Legendary Sword. He also charged forward, which was quite powerful, but it was far inferior to Li Wei's in terms of momentum.
Li Wei and the other man exchanged a smile but remained silent, leaving everyone else looking rather annoyed.
The method of learning from monsters is not something everyone can master. That guy number 99 is pretty good; he's already realized this. As for the others, they're far behind.
They're still only at the 'Skill Book' stage. You know, whether the power that allows someone to instantly master abilities is good or bad is still unknown, but since they can master some combat skills on their own, why not give it a try?
Relying too much on Skill Book is ultimately a hidden danger.
If one day the 'god' who created Shadow Street changes the rules of skill learning, then self-learning and cultivation will be the only way to become stronger.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Wei's thirst for Skill Book had suddenly diminished considerably. This change in mindset was quite helpful for his cultivation, though Li Wei himself was unaware of it at the time.
After everyone had rested, Li Wei also came up with a tactic to deal with the Demon Gordon.
That's an encirclement and attack!
This is something Li Wei learned from wild wolves. When hunting large prey, wolves often form a circle of seven or eight or even a dozen wolves to surround the giant prey that is several times their own size.
At this point, they are not in a hurry to attack, but rather to maintain the integrity of the encirclement 'circle', that is, to always form a 'circle' to surround the prey.
As long as the prey attacks first or reveals an opening, the wolves from other directions will attack simultaneously. After a successful strike, they will continue to retreat, maintaining the encirclement. In this way, the prey will soon collapse from exhaustion and become a meal for the wolves.
Now, the Demon Gordon is the prey, and the reincarnators are the wolf pack.
