Chapter 455: Broken Wheel of Destiny
Things seem to be looking up.
Jiang Huaique and the collector both heard Xu Zhiyan's words, and their actions became more fierce.
A series of sounds of weapon collisions were heard, and the figures of both sides entangled. The movements became faster and more fierce. At a glance, it was impossible to tell who was who. The high frequency of attacks made it impossible for others to intervene in the battle.
The golden ground was covered with mottled marks and gold flakes were flying everywhere.
But gradually, a strange color flashed on the Collector's wrist, and his movements began to become elusive. Sometimes it seemed that the attack was on the right, but when it fell, it was as if the space had folded and fell on the left. Even his body was twisted for a moment.
Although the Jianghuai Partridge noticed the problem immediately, humans obviously cannot avoid this kind of abnormal harm.
His fighting instinct made him realize that his attack was unstoppable, so he decisively gave up on defense and took advantage of the gap to swing at Xu Yan, but the pain he imagined did not come.
“Click—click, click, click—click—”
The sound of breaking appeared quietly one after another.
Jiang Huai Que and the collector were both stunned for a moment, and they simultaneously distanced themselves from each other.
"...What is this?" Xu Yan's eyes darkened and he couldn't help but speak.
At the place where the two had been fighting, four arm-length pale yellow barriers were suspended in the air, and the rest had already turned into faint points of light as the pure white cane attacked and fell...
Not only the collector, but even Jiang Huaique was stunned. Apart from props, he had never seen such a small-scale multi-layer defense barrier.
The field fell silent again, leaving only the sound of Yu Xiu's heavy breathing.
The audience in the live broadcast room realized belatedly that this was Yu Xiu's skill!
[What the hell? Can the defensive barrier be placed so accurately in such a small area? ]
[I don't believe it. Currently, all barrier skills are area-based, and there are only two types: protective shield and plane. Not only does this have an arc surface, but it also has so many layers...]
[The color of the barrier is probably Yu Xiu's skill. 】
【I didn't see him use any props. 】
[It is not ruled out that he is a genius. I remember that the kid is good at math...]
Seeing Jiang Huaique looking over, Yu Xiu took a deep breath and explained: "I tried to split and reorganize the skills, so that I can reduce the area of the barrier and increase the thickness..."
It turned out that just before the cane fell, he used his new skill.
If the original arc-shaped spherical barrier is a single layer, then by breaking the barrier into pieces of the same arc and then stacking them again, the barrier can be turned into a multi-layer small-range defense skill while using the same skill consumption. The only difficulty is that it requires precise control.
In contrast to Jiang Huaique's surprised expression, the collector frowned as he looked at his sleeve that was scratched by the sickle.
Although his sleeve was torn, there was only a small scratch on his arm. His complexly processed body had extremely high defense and could even withstand Shiva's strongest skills, so how could he be afraid of human attacks?
He stood straight, staring at the pure white cane in his hand, his tone somewhat regretful.
"It seems there is no way to obtain the complete collection."
If it was only Jiang Huai Que, he could still try to get the undamaged version of the collection, but now with a little devil intervening, the situation has become much more complicated.
After saying that, he suddenly exerted force with the palm of his hand holding the cane, and the pure white cane let out a miserable scream. In an instant, the cane was covered with cracks. Along with a crisp sound, the outermost layer of white metal fell off, revealing a sharp blade as wide as a finger inside. If you look closely, you can see the white bone texture on the sword.
“It turns out that not everything can go as planned.”
The Collector looked even more indifferent with his new weapon.
"It's a pity that I gave up on making you into a perfect collection, but you just wasted too much time." Before attacking, he took off the monocle that was in the way.
The collector turned to look at Xu Zhiyan, pointing the bone dagger in his hand at him, his tone somewhat helpless.
"As for you..."
"You need a little punishment."
His wrists were covered with a layer of bone.
The next second, something strange happened!
The golden ground under Xu Zhiyan's feet suddenly changed color and turned into a pile of white bones. He realized something and wanted to dodge, but the moment he took a step forward, a protruding bone spur on the ground pierced his right calf.
He staggered and nearly fell to the ground as the pain hit him severely. Shock flashed in his eyes, but the white bone that ran through his calf grew rapidly, separating into three bones on the outside of his wound, nailing him firmly to the ground, making him unable to move at all.
“How could it be…”
His pupils shrank slightly, and without time to check his injuries, he subconsciously checked his defensive items.
There should be no one present who has more passive defense items than him, so no matter what, he should not be hit by attacks from the ground.
At this moment, a prompt popped up on the game panel.
[Detection shows that you are in a skeleton cage. No passive skills or items can be triggered within this range, and all power fluctuations will be weakened. ]
Before he knew it, the white bones on the ground around Xu Zhiyan had already formed a new cage and locked him inside.
The first moment he was injured, he put his hand on his chest, feeling his heart beating so hard that it was about to burst out of his skin, the blood vessels that did not belong to him, and the hot horn pendant. Xu Zhiyan's chest rose and fell rapidly.
"calm."
He spoke in a low voice, not knowing to whom he was talking.
After returning the bones to the ghost, the opponent's remaining blood vessels spontaneously surrounded his heart as the last line of defense.
Blood vessels can cut off bones, but now is not the time to expose them...
However, before the blood vessels in his body could completely calm down, Xu Zhiyan saw an even more horrifying scene.
The collector's hand holding the bone sword was evenly covered with skin of various colors, and it looked like it had nothing to do with humans.
The look of regret on Yu Xiu's face had not yet faded.
Because he couldn't feel the power fluctuations, he didn't have time to erect a barrier for Xu Zhiyan. The range of the skeleton cage was too small, and he never expected that the other party would target Xu Zhiyan.
Then he couldn't think about it anymore.
The Collector who was far away half a second ago appeared behind him!
“Puff——”
The narrow-bladed bone sword pierced his chest, but before it could completely break through, it was blocked by the barrier erected by the passive skill. Although he dodged as quickly as possible, he was still injured.
What's more worrying is that these barriers are not very effective in preventing attacks by collectors.
“Bang—bang—bang—”
The passively triggered barrier is completely unable to block attacks.
Although the blow missed the target and did not pierce the heart to cause fatal injuries, the Collector's high-frequency attack still pierced through Yu Xiu's shoulder blade, and one could even hear the sound of bones cracking.
The blood fell onto the pure gold ground, leaving spots of blood.
"No wonder you chose this kid to get the token. It's indeed a very novel defensive skill." The collector raised his eyebrows and said.
“Keng—Shua!”
Jiang Huaique's attack followed closely, but Xu Yan had no more concerns and no longer held back.
After the collision made a sharp explosion, Jiang Huaique stared at the place where the weapons came into close contact, and the shock in his eyes almost overflowed.
With just one strike, the bone sword actually cut a groove into the hilt of Death Shadow's long sword!
How is it possible...
He instantly thought of the arms behind the other person. If each hand represented a new power bonus, then Xu Yan, with eight different powers superimposed, was now no different from a monster.
Jiang Huaique's heart kept sinking. The Collector's fighting skills were not as good as the Ghost Lion's, and some of his moves were even fancy and useless. However, the opponent's successive use of teleportation and reverse attacks, coupled with the almost irresistible force, made it extremely difficult to win in a head-on fight.
And the following heavy blow also proved the power of the collector.
A series of attacks almost chopped the Shadow of Death into pieces. The originally indestructible weapon turned out to be so fragile!
Now, even the audience in the live broadcast room felt sad.
[What should I do? How can I possibly win this fight?]
[Painful. No matter who comes, no one can defeat an attack of this intensity.]
[Help! So why is he so strong? ]
[It’s because of the power bonus. I just posted a thread on the forum to take stock of the types of power displayed by collectors...]
Viewers can watch frame by frame and get more detailed information.
After analysis by the players, the skills demonstrated by Xu Yan were summarized into several categories.
[Defense enhancement, attack sharpening, acceleration, teleportation and space distortion...]
[Gravity! I know why Mother Jiang couldn't take his attack. He can manipulate a part of gravity to increase his strength geometrically!]
[Oh my god, this is what we figured out through analysis. We don’t know how many more we haven’t analyzed yet.]
The battle soon became one-sided.
With Jiang Huaique's protection, Yu Xiu escaped a little, but both of them suffered injuries of varying degrees.
On the other side, Xu Zhiyan was trapped and Dou Hongshan was not having a good time either.
The sarcophagus was hit with a deafening roar, and the rattan ball could hardly cover the sarcophagus, which was about to break, so she could only keep reinforcing it.
Even Xiaoyi, who had originally run to the skeleton cage to think of a solution, was pushed out by Xu Zhiyan. He was so nervous that his hair was flying everywhere. He bit a vine hard, trying to tie the sarcophagus tighter. He was worried too much and kept looking at the three people who were fighting.
Finally saved face.
Seeing this, the collector laughed coldly.
"These are the thugs you have worked so hard to train. They are nothing more than this."
He didn't name anyone, but everyone knew that he was talking to Xu Zhiyan.
With a flick of his hand, Xu Yan shook off the blood on the bone sword, glanced at the two injured people, then turned to look at the expressionless Xu Zhiyan with a half-smile on his face.
“Do you feel powerless?”
"I won't kill you. I just hope that when I kill the three of them, you can be as calm as you are now."
Raising his hand, the tip of the sword pointed in the direction of Dou Hongshan, Xu Yan's lips moved slightly.
The stone coffin inside the rattan ball seemed to sense something and suddenly exploded! The broken stones cut the vines, and Xiaoyi was thrown far away before he could let go.
Dou Hongshan's heart skipped a beat and he clenched his staff tightly at his fingertips.
A woman stood up from the rubble. On her messy forehead, there was still a mark of the exoskeleton palm left by Xu Zhiyan.
The collector smiled even more.
"Since I'm ready, I must see the scene of the sister and brother killing each other."
That's why he didn't kill Jiang Huaique directly, but just injured him.
"Do you feel pain when you see them die tragically one by one in front of you?" He asked Xu Zhiyan, his tone as gentle as when he spent a wonderful day with little Zhiyan in the amusement park twenty years ago.
Xu Zhiyan held the bone railing tightly and whispered to Dou Hongshan: "I'll deal with him, you go and deal with my sister."
"Hmm?" The Collector seemed to have heard something funny and took a few steps forward. "How are you going to deal with me in this state—"
His voice stopped abruptly.
Instead, there were sudden sounds of joy all around.
Colorful flags fluttered, the sound of cannons exploding was endless, and colorful ribbons fell from the sky.
“Jack, jack, jack—welcome to the circus!”
A monkey wearing a clown mask and riding a unicycle appeared before his eyes.
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he found that he was no longer in the golden city he had originally built, but instead appeared in the center of the circus.
Something flashed by, and he raised his hand and touched the iron cage bars in front of him.
Opposite him, Xu Zhiyan was also locked in a skeleton cage.
"I still need to think about how to deal with it specifically, but at least you can't move now, right?" Xu Zhiyan leaned beside the bones as if nothing had happened.
The blood loss caused his face to turn even paler, making him look somewhat weak, but the Collector frowned.
"Just wait for now." Xu Zhiyan also laughed.
"After all, only the domain can resist the domain."
The Mimic is too arrogant.
The truth of flesh and blood had disappeared, and the Collector had the absolute upper hand in the previous battle, which allowed him to seize the opportunity to drag him into the strange face space.
A strong body does not mean a strong spirit.
Although it is impossible to use the twelve levels of thought confinement to kill the opponent directly, it is not a problem to delay some time.
