Qin Tiexin and Duan Xuan walked out of their hiding place.
Black Armor Mastiff continued to let out deep sobs from his throat, his blood-red eyes locked on the two of them, his limbs lowered slightly, but he did not leave the door of the medicine garden for even half a step.
The five Red-Patterned Blood Ganoderma plants exuded a dark red halo behind it, and the fine dark lines on the caps glowed with blood in the sunlight. You may not be able to buy the real thing with Spirit Stone flowers outside of that vintage of blood sesame, and the medicinal fragrance is so strong that even the air has a sweet smell.
"I'll attack head-on to attract its attention, and you'll wait for the opportunity."
After saying that, Qin Tiexin held Edgeless tightly, pointed the tip of the knife obliquely at the ground, and walked towards the front of Black Armor Mastiff. The tip of the knife drew a string of sparks on the gravel ground.
Black Armor Mastiff lowered its forequarters, its blood-red vertical pupils locked on the movements of Qin Tiexin. Its ears were pressed tightly against the back of its head, its tail was drooped, its limb muscles were slightly bulging, and the gaps between the armor plates opened and closed during its breathing.
When the distance was reduced to within twenty steps, Qin Tiexin suddenly accelerated, and Mountain-Shaking Steps stepped out. The gravel beneath his feet was stepped into a shallow pit, and the whole person was like a thrown boulder, pressing towards the front of Black Armor Mastiff. Edgeless drew a thick arc in his hand and chopped it down from the top of his head.
Heavy Mountain Saber Technique·Suppress the Mountain.
The force of the knife is strong, and the downward slashing route directly blocks the dodge space in front of Black Armor Mastiff. If it dodges to the left and right sides, subsequent horizontal slashes will follow; if it retreats, Qin Tiexin will take a step forward and continue to press forward.
Black Armor Mastiff The moment before the blade fell, he tilted his body half a foot to the left, just in time for the blade to slide past the edge of the armor on its shoulder blade. The movement was as smooth as a giant dog that was over a foot tall. The blade scraped against the armor on its shoulder blade, causing a harsh metal squeak, leaving only a shallow white mark. The tip of the blade cut into the ground, and gravel splashed everywhere.
It took advantage of the moment when Qin Tiexin's sword failed to twist its body, turned its head and bit his right forearm holding the knife.
This bite was extremely tricky. Qin Tiexin had just finished slashing, but the sword had not yet been withdrawn, and his right arm was in the gap after exerting force. He hurriedly pulled his right hand back, Edgeless's knife handle turned half a circle in his palm, and used the back of the knife to knock Black Armor Mastiff's side face.
But Black Armor Mastiff's move was a feint, and the real killer move came later.
It kicked its back half violently, and its entire body bounced off the ground, bypassing the route that Edgeless had knocked down. Its fangs flipped its direction and went straight to Qin Tiexin's throat. Its bloody mouth opened wide, and that mouthful If the bite was serious, a hole would be ripped open in Qin Tiexin's throat. It was this move that bit through the neck of the sword-wielding monk. He first used a feint to force the opponent to defend, and took advantage of the moment when the opponent's center of gravity shifted back to attack the throat with all his strength.
Qin Tiexin was waiting for this pounce. He had already seen the red figure not far away.
While withdrawing his right hand, Qin Tiexin's left fist's khaki color Spiritual Qi condensed between the five fingers, and a looming hammer-shaped shadow appeared on the fist edge.
Vajra Hammer Fist second type, Suppress the Mountain Hammer.
When Black Armor Mastiff's fangs were still two feet away from his throat, its body suddenly paused in the air. A red whip shadow flew out from the side and accurately wrapped around the base of its tail. Duan Xuan planted his feet firmly, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and transmitted all his strength through the whip body to the tip of the whip, and yanked it back violently.
Black Armor Mastiff's entire body was pulled forward and staggered back at the last moment.
Qin Tiexin did not waste this opportunity. His left fist struck Black Armor Mastiff's jaw from bottom to top in the trajectory of a forging hammer.
Bang!
The moment his fist touched the bone, there was a crisp sound of metal impact. Black Armor Mastiff's mandible was much harder than he expected.
Taking advantage of the impact of Qin Tiexin's punch, it jerked its head back, loosening the whip wrapped around its tail a little, and then ejected its entire body backwards, twisting in the air, and landed firmly at the entrance of the medicine garden. After it landed, it shook the side of its face that was hit by Qin Tiexin, and a trace of blood-streaked saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth, but its eyes did not flinch at all, but became more ferocious.
Qin Tiexin and Duan Xuan looked at each other. The punch just now had a force of at least 18,000 kilograms, but this Black Armor Mastiff's mandible was hard enough to withstand the punch head-on, and it judged the direction of the force the moment it was hit, used the force to retreat, and took advantage of the situation to escape. This reaction is not the instinct of wild animals, but a combat literacy formed after long-term training.
The moment Black Armor Mastiff landed, without any pause, he opened his mouth directly towards Duan Xuan. A violent wind-attributed spiritual power condensed in its mouth, and the concentration of the spiritual power climbed to a level visible to the naked eye in a very short period of time - countless tiny cyan light particles were pulled out of the air and gathered between its fangs, forming a rapidly rotating cyan light ball.
Duan Xuan pupils shrink.
Wind-Rending!
Qin Tiexin recognizes this Law Technique. The Wind-Rending Dagger on his waist has this move attached to it. However, the release of Wind-Rending Dagger requires the infusion of spiritual power and then the activation of Spirit Rune. The whole process takes at least one and a half breaths. This Black Armor Mastiff takes less than half a breath from opening its mouth to forming the light ball.
The blue ball of light exploded. A wild air flow swept towards Duan Xuan, and the air flow carried Wind Blade fragments as dense as blades. Duan Xuan was in When she recognized Law Technique, she was already touching the talismans in the storage ring. Three protective talismans were activated at the same moment, and three Spiritual Qi shields were unfolded in front of her in layers.
The first shield shattered into points of light the moment it came into contact with Wind-Rending, the second shield lasted for half a breath before being torn apart, and the third shield barely remained intact, blocking out all the remaining Wind Blade.
Duan Xuan was pushed back two steps by the aftermath of the airflow. Several cuts were made on his sleeves and front, but there was no blood on his body.
Qin Tiexin activated the wolf fang bracelet on her wrist at the same moment she blocked Wind-Rending. Four Foundation Establishment Middle Stage powerful Wind Blade shot at Black Armor Mastiff from the side, blocking its dodge route at the same time.
Black Armor Mastiff had just released Law Technique, but its reaction was not slow at all - it turned sideways to avoid the first one, lowered its head to avoid the second one, jumped up with its hind legs to avoid the third one, and the fourth one flew past the armor piece on the tip of its ear, cutting off a small piece of the ear edge. When its four legs landed, the position had shifted by more than half of its body, but its movements were still smooth and coherent.
Qin Tiexin took the opportunity to retreat to Duan Xuan. "How is it?"
"It's okay." Duan Xuan shook his wrist, which was numb from the air waves, and glanced at his torn sleeves, "What a strong beast."
The two did not have time to communicate more. Black Armor Mastiff had regained his footing, his blood-red eyes taking turns to examine the two of them, and the whimpering in his throat became deeper.
The two stood side by side again and fought with Black Armor Mastiff for several more rounds.
Edgeless hit its armor several times, only making a few shallow cuts, but not really damaging it deep.
Duan Xuan caught a gap, and the long sword penetrated the gap in the armor from a tricky angle. As soon as the tip of the sword touched the flesh, Black Armor Mastiff suddenly twisted his waist to get out of the way, and the sword edge only drew a line of blood about an inch long before it slipped away.
In addition, it is also very skilled in the earth element Law Technique. When Qin Tiexin stepped forward several times to exert force, the ground under his feet would soften into a quagmire without warning, forcing him to withdraw his strength and retreat. Facing Duan Xuan's "Fire Dragon Technique", it could also erect an earth wall in front of it as high as a person to firmly protect itself.
The two men and one dog fought for nearly a stick of incense, leaving only a few insignificant minor injuries on Black Armor Mastiff's body - the Wind Blade wound on the leg had stopped bleeding, a scratch on the shoulder by Edgeless, and a shallow blood line drawn by a long sword on the flank. None of these wounds could really affect its actions.
Qin Tiexin's left hand was bitten by it. It was originally a flaw that he deliberately exposed. During the fight, he deliberately left a gap in his left arm and sent it in front of Black Armor Mastiff to lure it to bite. After it bit, he was going to hold its head with the other hand and Duan Xuan attacked the throat from the side.
But as soon as Black Armor Mastiff's teeth penetrated his forearm muscles, it sensed something was wrong. Instead of biting hard, it immediately let go and retreated, without giving Qin Tiexin a chance to lock it. Before Qin Tiexin could even lift its right hand, it had already retreated to a safe distance.
Duan Xuan stabbed five swords in a row to force back Black Armor Mastiff's new round of bites, and returned to Qin Tiexin, her chest rising and falling faster than before. Her spiritual energy had been consumed a lot in the previous rounds of cooperation, and Fire Dragon Technique was particularly drained of spiritual energy.
"This beast's armor is too thick." Duan Xuan whispered, "My sword can't penetrate it."
"It's very smart and doesn't give me a chance to cut anything," Qin Tiexin said, "And it's very cautious."
Duan Xuan was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Get out. These five blood mushrooms are not worth risking their lives here. There is still some time before the ruins are closed, so let's look elsewhere."
Qin Tiexin nodded.
"Let's go."
The two began to retreat slowly. Qin Tiexin faced Black Armor Mastiff to cover the retreat. Duan Xuan put his whip into his waist and held the sword in his hand, ready to break away at any time and speed up.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, there was a very subtle vibration on the ground under the two people's feet. It came from the extreme underground, as if something was traveling quickly underground.
Qin Tiexin's hair stood up suddenly.
Before he could even open his mouth to remind Duan Xuan, a big hole was suddenly blasted out of the gravel ground at the entrance of the medicine garden.
Rubbles flew around, and a five-foot-long gray-brown arm sprang out of the hole.
The skin of the arm was close to the bones, and the surface was densely engraved with countless dark golden runes. The runes suddenly lit up the moment they rushed out of the hole.
Its speed was so fast that Qin Tiexin's eyes could hardly catch its trajectory - one moment it was still at the entrance of the cave, and the next moment it had crossed all the distance between Black Armor Mastiff and the gate of the medicine garden.
Black Armor Mastiff sensed the danger the moment the arm appeared. Its body suddenly lowered, all its armor plates stood up, a hoarse roar burst out from its throat, and it turned its head and bit the arm.
It's no use.
The arm passed through Black Armor Mastiff's skull like tofu. It penetrated from its chin and exited from the back of its head. The bone section was exposed to the air, glowing with a pale sheen.
Black Armor Mastiff's roar stopped abruptly.
Its limbs twitched violently several times, and its blood-red eyes began to turn into deathly gray from the depths of its pupils. The armor on its body quickly dimmed, and its huge body fell to the ground with a splash, throwing up a cloud of dust.
Qin Tiexin's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't have time to think, and almost instinctively reached out and grabbed Duan Xuan's arm and yanked it back.
"Let's go!"
Duan Xuan hadn't fully reacted yet, but Qin Tiexin's pull on her was so strong that it almost lifted her whole body from the ground and dragged her backwards. She used the force to turn around, exert force under her feet, and rush towards the direction where Qin Tiexin came from.
Qin Tiexin There is no looking back.
His fingers holding the handle of the knife were trembling slightly, and the scene of killing Black Armor Mastiff with one blow on that arm was still burned in front of his eyes.
He remembered what Senior Brother Chen Xi had warned her before.
"In the world of immortality, if you encounter something that you cannot understand at all, you must escape as quickly as possible. Because that thing is beyond the scope of what you can handle."
That arm was something that was completely incomprehensible. Why it was underground, why it was a severed arm, why it was chased here, why it killed Black Armor Mastiff, he didn't know any of it, but there was an inexplicable intuition that rushed straight into his brain from the bottom of his spine:
This thing may be aimed at him.
