"What's wrong?" He noticed that his companion behind him was acting strangely.
She knelt on the ground, trembling all over, unable to even hold the hilt of her sword. In her condition, it was almost impossible for her to fight.
He protected his companion, releasing his magical perception and remaining highly vigilant about their surroundings. The tavern was deserted, a perfect trap.
The enemy did not seem to intend to launch another sneak attack, but instead chose to break in through the front gate.
"Continuation Blade" had long believed that the same sneak attack would no longer be effective.
Philsa turned to face the enemy, still protecting his kneeling companion behind him. The aura he recognized was unmistakable; it was the enemy reinforcements he had encountered that night when facing the leader of the Midnight Slayers. Their presence was chilling, like a venomous snake. In terms of demonic energy alone, they shared a slight resemblance, making them veritable nemesis.
"How does it feel to be deceived? He's not the first person to cheat you." The homeless man, who was dying beside him, glanced at him for a moment and said coldly, "Trash should stay underground."
He then fixed his gaze on his prey with a menacing look, especially on Philsa.
I remember Red Blade saying that provoking the prey seemed to have some effect.
So Xu Ren followed the leader's lead: "Do you still believe in your so-called comrades? He didn't take the Wind Vortex Stone? Then where did it go? By the time I finish my mission and return to the base, Yug will have already handed over the Wind Vortex Stone."
“Midnight Slayer talks too much. You’re the same.” Felsa’s anger flared up.
“It’s not impossible that the girl behind you stole the stone. She was there too.” Xu Ren thought with a wicked morbid curiosity, wanting to see his prey go crazy.
Having heard rumors beforehand, and wondering if someone had deliberately spread them, the king was preparing to host a banquet to invite Yug.
What exactly happened?
Why was I ambushed at the place I had arranged to meet Yug?
Why would anyone know? Firsa was taken to the tavern by a wanderer familiar with Yog;
Previously, it was Yug who suggested meeting here. Since their escape, their journey has felt like they've been led by the nose. So many questions and mysteries seem to point to the same answer.
“Isn’t it Yug who’s leading you by the nose?” Xu Ren drew his twin swords. “There’s no point in saying more. No one will write your will.”
"The Wind Vortex Stone is not in your hands yet."
"Sooner or later someone will offer it to us."
"—Then there's no need to be polite with you."
In a daze, Jielu heard her companion's breathing was very heavy, even if she was nervous and excited, it shouldn't be like that.
The pain still occupied her mind, preventing her from thinking any further.
The demonic aura emanating from her companion even instilled fear in her.
The next second she noticed that her companion had suddenly moved away, and almost at the same time, the sound of weapons clashing rang out not far away.
A single sword against two blades—the duel between the two was exceptionally fierce from the very beginning. Jelu dared not open her eyes, nor even move a single part of her head.
Even the wind blowing through her hair from the battle between the two sides only added to her pain.
Xu Ren was in the heat of battle when he was forced to retreat a few steps to catch his breath.
He remembered Redblade describing how Philsa fought at the banquet, a description that was rather horrifying.
Now, after exchanging blows with him for a while, he exclaimed, "The rumors are truly exaggerated. I told you your swordsmanship was nothing special! Here, you can't trigger an avalanche, nor can you travel through the air like a shooting star—"
Unexpectedly, the tavern's stone walls were shattered by an explosion inside the building.
The aurora also sliced through the eaves of the tavern.
"The prey has gone mad!"
He escaped from the ruins while laughing wildly.
Meanwhile, Firza, shimmering with aurora, followed closely behind.
Covered in sweat, Jielu had just recovered from the pain when she discovered that the tavern she was in had been reduced to ruins.
Whether the aurora explosion was intentional or not, it didn't harm her in the slightest. She looked out at the fierce battle beyond the ruins.
A single sword against two blades, they fought from the ground to mid-air and back again, their weapons clashing without ceasing. The number of rounds of conflict was countless, and it was difficult to discern who was injured or who had the upper hand.
With the help of the extreme ice magic runes in his hand, Philsa unleashed his full magic power, throwing himself into the battle, ignoring his companions, everything around him, and everything except the Blade of Renewal.
In the darkness of his heart and eyes, he focused only on the enemy's demonic aura. He was determined to kill his enemy.
At this moment, Jelu gradually regained her composure and gazed at Philsa as she fought with all her might.
This was the first time in six months since their reunion that she had witnessed him wielding his sword with such all his might.
After taking a step back, Xu Ren also released his own magic power. The two blades in his hands lit up with red light at the same time, and the ends of their handles were connected by a chain of light. Xu Ren's weapon immediately transformed into a nunchaku similar to those in ancient Eastern traditions. What Xu Ren held was a double-edged sword.
Xu Ren sensed a similarity between Philsa's scent and his own; he was no longer human. Xu Ren finally acknowledged that Philsa was no longer prey, but his nemesis.
In the past, Xu Ren's opponents could hardly be called nemesis; they could only be considered prey, destined to be hunted down by predators.
This opponent is clever and difficult to deal with.
If pushed too far, they'll go crazy and retaliate.
The twin blades of the Continuation Blade have always craved blood—not the blood of their prey, but the blood of their nemesis.
Only when claws are bathed in the blood of their nemesis do they become sharper. So, facing an opponent known as his nemesis, he decided to unleash his full power.
Philsa immediately sensed that the enemy's demonic aura had more than doubled in intensity.
It felt as if a million venomous snakes were fiercely attacking from all directions.
Even your ears can hear their hissing tongues, a sharp killing intent piercing your heart.
