After carefully examining the scene where Mary's mother had been assassinated, how could Qin Ran possibly fail to guard against such a sword thrust?
In fact, Qin Ran had not only guarded against it, but had also carefully considered how to deal with such a strike based on his own circumstances.
Dodge was the first option Qin Ran discarded.
Without knowing whether the opponent had follow-up moves, directly dodging could very likely trap him in the opponent's endless attacks and immediately put him at a disadvantage.
Blocking was the second option Qin Ran discarded.
The opponent's sword would inevitably be extremely fast. If not for the negative effect, Heavy, brought by [Excellent Armor], Qin Ran might have considered trying it.
But after equipping [Excellent Armor], Qin Ran would not even consider it.
[Excellent Armor] was not like the backpack on his back, something he could take off and put on at any time.
The time wasted would be enough for the opponent to poke seven or eight holes in him.
As for counterattacking?
Although the effects of [Excellent Armor] still remained, under the bonuses of [Hand-to-Hand Combat. Leg Combat], those effects could practically be ignored.
However, after considering it for a long time, Qin Ran still chose to abandon that option.
Because Qin Ran had a more reliable way of dealing with it!
Watching the sword tip close at hand, Qin Ran raised his right hand.
A faint glow flashed from the bracer bearing a spider pattern, and a web with a radius of three meters shot from his hand, enveloping the person before him.
At once, that aggressive sword momentum vanished.
All that remained was...
Struggling!
Moreover, the poison from [Moerduosi's Bracer. Web Bind] began to take effect. The exposed skin on the opponent's hands began turning green.
