In the initial battle, Jiang Jie was unable to attack and could only defend, because Onias's attack speed was too fast, making it impossible for him to defend. He was hit several times in just a few seconds. If it weren't for the double protection of the Nightslayer Armor and the Black Tortoise Armor Gang Qi, he would have been injured.
The opponent was too fast. Even if he used the " Nine Provinces Yu Walking Step " technique, it would be difficult to completely dodge. After all, his footwork was not yet proficient, and some of his footwork transitions were rather awkward.
One force can overcome ten techniques. No matter how skillful the martial arts are, they cannot match absolute speed. Jiang Jie's foundation is not solid enough, his physical fitness is not strong enough, and his speed is not fast enough!
But fifteen seconds later, when Onias's energy was temporarily depleted and she could only use normal attacks, Jiang Jie...
An opportunity has been found!
"Well then, it's my turn!"
The daggers left streaks in the air, their flashing cold light creating a dazzling spectacle. Jiang Jie's thief skills continued uninterrupted, maintaining the same speed as his normal attacks, putting immense pressure on Onias!
The Nine Provinces Yu Walking Step made Jiang Jie as unpredictable as a ghost. The angle of his attacks was completely unexpected by Onias, and he could hardly calculate it every time. Jiang Jie could only catch up and make up for it by relying on speed and experience.
You think you're in the east, but I'm in the west;
You think I'm on the left, but I'm on the right!
However, even the best-laid plans can fail if kept in the long run.
The moment Jiang Jie's dagger first touched Onias's body, the scales of victory began to tip.
When Jiang Jie wounded Onias for the twentieth time, the sharp dagger pierced Onias's throat, and the battle was over.
The Undead have no fatal weaknesses, but how could Onias possibly fight back after her arm bones, leg bones, neck bones, and sternum were all pierced?
" Nicholas... you are... the future of the Assassins' Order!" Onias's eyes gleamed. The near-death experience had temporarily freed her from the Lich King's Mind Control, but it couldn't last long; it was only for a moment.
But in that instant, her sorrow was mixed with joy. Jiang Jie saw a plea in her eyes, a plea for Jiang Jie to release her.
She was a follower of Arthas, but her loyalty lay with her homeland and people.
When she could no longer control herself and was forced to harm her fellow countrymen, she would rather choose death.
She can't even commit suicide now; everything about her is controlled by Arthas and the Lich King, so she begs Jiang Jie to free her.
"Master Onias, may you rest in peace. I send you... eternity!" Jiang Jie suddenly struck out with his palm, " Favorable to Cross the Great River," his Internal Energy penetrating the severely damaged " Darkmantle Armor " and shattering Onias's entire skeleton. Then, he casually grabbed the Lobotomizer and the Shadowblade, inserting them into the pre-placed slots on the leg armor.
Unfortunately, the more valuable " Darkmantle Armor " is severely damaged and needs repair before it can be used. There's no time to collect loot now; we'll have to wait until later.
Jiang Jie looked up at the sky.
Above the sky, skeletal griffins clashed head-on with each other, and resurrected Wildhammer knights fought against living Wildhammer knights. Among them, the most dazzling performance was, of course, that of Lord Korth'azz!
He was supposed to be one of Kel'Thuzad's " Four Horsemen " a few years later, second only to Highlord Mograine among all the Death Knight, even surpassing Baron Rivendare, who currently resides in Stratholme.
Such a Death Knight is naturally a high-level professional, with powerful physical and magical attacks. With a wave of his hand, fireballs the size of water tanks rain down from the sky. That is his signature skill, "Meteor," and the fireballs contain meteorites from the Twisting Nether.
Therefore, Jiang Jie has reason to believe that the one who granted him this skill was not Arthas, but the Dreadlord, who should now be Tichondrius.
Otherwise, how could a Death Knight, who either wields the power of frost or blood, or controls evil energy, possess such a unique skill?
Of course, this is just Jiang Jie's guess.
It's obvious that this skill, which is similar to " Summon Infernal," is really powerful. Although a falling meteor can't turn into Infernal, its impact force is no less.
More than twenty soldiers have died at the hands of Lord Korth'azz, even with the mages distracted and interfering.
But with Tichondrius's intervention, Jaina and several high-ranking mages had to shift most of their attention to him, and no one was able to restrain Lord Korth'azz anymore.
He was like a death messenger soaring through the sky, taking a life with each strike, whether it be a life on the ground or a former subordinate, truly deserving of the name " Four Horsemen ".
" Lord Korth'azz... I've arrived!"
As Lord Korth'azz swooped down once more, attempting to kill an unsuspecting Paladin with his Greatsword of Ancient Power, Jiang Jie intervened.
Lightning and Rushing Thunder Step!
Jiang Jie shot up twenty meters into the air like Rushing Thunder. Then, with his momentum waning, he suddenly attacked. His three-meter-long hand of Internal Energy crossed ten meters and crushed the white bone griffin. Lord Korth'azz fell from the sky!
Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing!
Jiang Jie's skill in subtle techniques is far from sufficient, but his current Internal Energy is already comparable to that of an ordinary Houtian Eighth Layer master. With sheer force, dealing with a skeletal griffin that is even weaker than an ordinary griffin is naturally a piece of cake.
Jiang Jie fell from the sky at the same time!
And he fell even earlier Lord Korth'azz!
At this moment, he was below, looking up at the sky, when suddenly he thrust out both palms and pushed upwards. Accompanied by a soul-shaking dragon's roar, a dragon-shaped stream of energy roared upwards and struck Lord Korth'azz squarely.
Death Knight Death Knight defensive abilities.
A layer of pale green Anti-Magic Shell enveloped Lord Korth'azz, completely blocking Jiang Jie's " The Proud Dragon Repents," while he descended from the sky wielding his greatsword.
"A battle of strength? You really think I'm weak and frail just because I'm physically thin? You... are wrong!"
Jiang Jie drew the Strom'kar Warbreaker from his back, a giant sword even larger than the Greatsword of Ancient Power. With the enhancement of Jiang Jie's Internal Energy, he swung it at the giant sword in the sky with incredible speed and unimaginable momentum.
The next moment, like a thunderclap, with flashes of swords and the sound of metal breaking, Jiang Jie was sent flying backward, landing five meters away. His legs carved an ever-deep trench in the not-so-hard ground.
His legs went numb, almost losing all feeling. A sword strike from the sky, combined with the Dwarves lord's superhuman strength, would have crippled Jiang Jie if he hadn't fought in a martial arts stance, his body like a bow, perfectly releasing the force in the tension and relaxation. His spine would have been broken and shattered.
If it weren't for the " Nightslayer Armor " providing strong defense and protecting his legs, they would have been destroyed during the plowing process under such immense force.
After all, he wasn't Dwarves, and he didn't have a body as solid as a rock!
But it was worth it!
