Chapter 962: Sword and Blade Showdown (Part 2)

A quiet posthumous scene and a depressing atmosphere.

The smoke disperses...

In the depression on the ground, a figure slowly stood up.

In the dim light and shadow, the figure seemed to have blended into the surrounding environment.

She is quiet and indifferent.

There was a coldness and indifference that went deep into her bones, but she also carried a compelling murderous aura.

At this time, Ruoyu's appearance had changed to a certain extent compared to before falling to the ground. In addition to the extra white bone mask on her face, there was actually a hole in her neck as big as a table tennis ball, pierced from both ends. In addition, her eyes became white with black background, and the length of her hair also extended to her waist.

[Name: Cheeks of Arrancar]

[Type: Armor]

[Quality: perfect]

[Defense: Medium]

[Attribute: None]

[Special effect: The duration of negative control effects is reduced by 70%]

[Equipment conditions: Fighting Specialization A, bound]

[Remarks: This mask contains part of the power of Bengyu, which can allow the wearer to temporarily enter a "virtual" state after being released. However, this power can only be released once. When it is consumed, the mask's quality and special effects will be permanently reduced. 】

Ruoyu has acquired this equipment very early, but she has never "displayed head equipment and clothing" in the script, and has never used the ability to "blur", so from the appearance, it cannot be seen She has this equipment on her.

The reason why she has never used this before is also obvious - after using it, the effect of the item will become weaker, and it is likely to drop directly from a "perfect" level equipment to an "ordinary" or even a "broken" level. went.

But...as Ruoyu said, if it is used here, on Xu Huaishang...it will be worth it.

"It's almost time for the spirit to arrive." Under the mask, Ruoyu's voice became weird and thick, as if two people with one high and one low vocal range were harmonizing.

As soon as she stood up, she turned to look at Xu Huaishang and said these words.

Xu Huaishang also understood. The subtext of the other party's words is - if you still want to win, it's best to take action before the end of the soul.

"Not only are you not dead...have all the wounds on your body healed..." Xu Huaishang observed Ruoyu for a few seconds and whispered, "Tch...it's really difficult..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Huaishang made another move.

"Tianba... Conferred God Slash!"

After drinking, Xu Huaishang was in front of Ruoyu in just a moment; his movement was light and erratic, his sharp knife slashed like a whirlpool, and the sword energy that rolled out wildly seemed to tear out arcs like a chain saw. of chopping.

"Sword. Void mark."

When welcoming the move, Ruoyu's body didn't move, she just raised her left hand. The original water divine sword drew a fierce sword light.

In the [Devil Sword] swordsmanship, there is actually no such move as "Sword. Void Mark". This move was improvised by Ruoyu. Although the details of the moves are far less sophisticated than the swordsmanship of Wind Trace, its sword intent inherits the wild characteristics of the Demonic Sword and complements the latter.

Chicking chiking—

Accompanied by several rapid noises, the fighting spirit on the sword and the sword rubbed and collided in the air again.

But this time... the balance of power has been broken.

"You actually...prevented it?" After the exchange of moves, Xu Huaishang was shocked, because the opponent was only using one hand at the moment, but the [Tianba Conferred God Slash] she used could only be activated with the power of both hands. moves.

Under this premise. Even if it's a tie, Xu Huaishang is undoubtedly at a disadvantage...

"Sorry... I seem to have underestimated the power of virtualization." At this moment, Ruoyu said calmly, "It seems... whether your soul is still present or not, it is meaningless."

Hearing this, Xu Huaishang did not respond, but used another move [Secret Sword. Obscure Sword] to rush into Iai. Chao Ruoyu launched a close slash.

unexpectedly……

pong——

Her knife actually hit Ruoyu's ribs, but there was no wound...

"In this state, the strength of the skin surface will become like steel, but the softness and tension will be the same as ordinary skin." Ruoyu didn't even lower his head to look at the opponent's knife, but just looked at Xu Huaishang's face Said, "I originally thought that even with such a defensive ability, I would still be injured by a direct hit, but... I realized when I was fighting with you just now... Since virtualization has greatly improved basic physical skills, your Strength and speed no longer pose a threat to me, so I conclude that it won’t hurt even if I’m directly hit by you.”

"That's unreasonable!" Xu Huaishang started to get impatient, because when Ruoyu was knifed, the time limit for the activation of Soul Apparition... had just arrived.

"Sakura. Tsukidan!" The next second, she used the killing move that once cut the invincible hero in half.

This move... was not inflicted by Hun Ling, but Xu Huai Shang's own skills. Compared to using Hun Ling's techniques, she would obviously be more proficient in using her own skills.

Puff——gugu——

This knife brought out a strange sound of bones being torn apart... The blade successfully tore Ruoyu's "steel skin", leaving a horizontal gap in his abdomen.

But……

"Super-speed regeneration is also one of the basic abilities after virtualization." When Ruoyu said this lightly, her wound had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"In addition, I can now use my hands and even my mouth to release virtual flashes, and there is no need for any preparation time." After a half-second pause, Ruoyu said, "It's just... such a duel, it seems a bit regrettable to end it with an energy shock."

"Hmph..." At this time, Xu Huaishang retreated a few feet and showed a helpless and bitter smile, "The head and internal organs can't regenerate, right?"

"Yes, use a stronger attack than the previous one... decapitate me, and you will win." Ruoyu replied.

"So... is that it?" Xu Huaishang asked a question that sounded a bit inexplicable to others.

However, Ruoyu understood.

"Well, that's it." She replied.

After speaking, the two exchanged glances.

Then, Xu Huaishang took two deep breaths, spread the two swords to both sides of the body, and posed like a flying swallow spreading its wings.

Ruoyu separated the two swords, stood sideways, and took a half step forward.

Breathing, like an invisible signal.

Once, twice... When they exhaled for the third time, they moved.

The two swords turned into [Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins].

The two swords cast [Remnant Wind Sword Shadow].

Ding——

In this battle, the swords and knives... this is the first time that they have made such a crisp and clear sound of hitting each other.

Two seconds later, two figures staggered and fell to the ground... standing with their backs to each other.

At this moment, all the light disappeared, all the sounds were silent, and all the movements stopped.

The killing array of the swords and knives no longer existed, and the monstrous murderous aura no longer existed.

After a breath, one person fell down.

At the same second, the sunlight of dawn parted the light mist in the sky and sprinkled on the shoulders of the winner... (To be continued...)
