As soon as the fight started, Ash felt very uncomfortable.
It was not because the blood in his body was continuously transferring his life energy to his opponent, nor was it because Silver Lantern’s combat power was far superior to his own.
In fact, after a day of trial rewards, Ash's physical fitness is also rapidly improving. Even if it is still not as good as Silver Lantern with the blood of a silver dragon, the difference is not too big, so he will not be dominated by Silver Lantern.
What made him uncomfortable was that Yin Deng had the same level of 'senses' as him.
The sweet-mouthed sword and the chain glove crossed each other, making a sharp sound. At this moment, Ash was keenly aware of Silver Lantern's subsequent response, but Silver Lantern also noticed the various changes in his sword moves. The two of them predicted directly to the last step, and then the swords touched again!
After several rounds, neither of them had any injuries, but their pupils were already exhausted. I predicted your predictions, and you predicted mine. When both sides subconsciously made the best decision, the battle became a boring but tiring show.
It seemed that they had a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and brazenly entered into the most dangerous close combat! Since everyone had the ability to predict, they would drag the battle into a desperate quagmire of life and death, and use the mud of fear to influence the other party's judgment!
When it comes to fighting hard, they all have enough confidence!
But this time, Ash did not drop the sword. He stretched out his right hand and stabbed the sword diagonally. Weisser clapped her left hand, and he used the force to turn his wrist, and the long sword drew an oval, and he was the first to cut towards Weisser's throat again!
Water Moon Sword Technique.
Although he had no magical assistance, in more than a dozen battles, Ash recalled the fighting style of Sword Lady and extracted the essence of this miracle, and barely achieved a counterattack effect with his mortal swordsmanship!
As a truth magician, Weisser naturally saw the mystery of this move. If she continued to study this sword technique, she might be able to directly summon the water moon magic spirit... However, the more talented Ash was, the more murderous intent she had in her heart!
Bang!
She directly knocked the long sword into the air, and then the two exchanged more than ten attacks and defenses in two seconds. Although Weisser combined various skills of the Senluo Sect, Ash had the gold-level fist and claw faction as a foundation. He was almost beaten to tears last night, but could the same trick work on him a second time?
Of course.
Weisser is not a lazy and gluttonous person. Ash has made great progress in today's trial, so can't she innovate?
Even without magical power, she is still a magician of truth!
The flying sword fell, and Ash immediately grabbed the hilt, holding the sword with his backhand and swinging it forward. Weisser could only retreat to avoid it. However, Ash continued to push forward, how could Weisser allow him to expand his advantage? The chain hand snaked around the blade, trying to take the weapon away.
Weisser didn't expect that Ash would not only abandon his sword, but would even actively put the sword into her hand, and then attack with both hands like a tiger cannon.
Weisser also had a silver-level swordsmanship realm, and immediately wielded the sword to counterattack, but was blocked by Ash with his bare hands, forcing her to abandon the sword and defend herself. At this time, Ash snatched the sword back and cut her clothes in two strokes. If Weisser had not dodged in time, she would have been injured.
This is outrageous!
Weisser had already seen that Ash was reconstructing his gold-level swordplay and gold-level fist and claw styles. Not only could he unleash the power of his swordplay, but he also took into account the agility of his fists and claws. The fight was as chaotic and bizarre as a juggler, with fists and claws sometimes thundering, and blades sometimes breaking through the air! Moreover, Ash's long sword could be thrown into the air or put into her hands, so it would not be an obstacle to close combat at all!
In other words, Ash is using his magical skills to bully others!
But the magic realm only allows Ash to have a commanding position in a specific faction, which does not mean that he can integrate different factions at will. Even Weisser, a truth magician who is proficient in more than 20 magic factions, finds it extremely difficult to do this.
Besides, Ash had always been hiding behind the Sword Lady and the Witch as a mascot in the virtual world, how could he have such a talent for fighting? Weisser knew that he was definitely not someone who concealed his strength, but rather the type of person who said, "I've become stronger, come and praise me." Therefore, his combat power could only be due to the trials of the past two days.
He was thrown into a trial where no one could hear him crying out, and yet he made such tremendous progress?
Compared to Weisser's shock, Ash felt more and more comfortable as the fight went on, and he seemed to be floating.
As early as that rainy night in Nabistin, when he fought dozens of Saints alone, he felt that he was quickly digesting the magic experience shared by the Witch Sword Princess for so many days. However, the title of the First Gospel was taken back by Liz, and without the portable plug-in, Ash was naturally stuck.
After being forced to participate in this trial, with the improvement of physical fitness and senses, Ash felt that the level bottleneck was a little loose. Now dating alone with Yin Deng, facing an opponent whose fighting skills are no less than his, Ash used all his skills to fight more and more bravely, and finally integrated the swordsmanship and fists!
However--
call out!
As Weisser accurately grabbed the sword and counter-cut, Ash turned his head to avoid it, but a bloody mark was still left on his cheek.
Even if he snatched the sword back immediately, he would not be able to continue to expand his advantage by relying on the gap in realm.
The battle scales are balanced again.
Because Weisser had already taken all of his fighting moves into his predictions.
Yes, Ash's skills are better than Weisser's, but is the difference in realm so great that it's overwhelming? No.
Unless Ash can create shock waves with his bare hands like Tamashi and shatter brain tissue from a distance, he and Visser will still be fighting at the mortal level.
Even if Weisser's skills are inferior, as long as everyone's attack power is similar, she can naturally block Ash's moves, and can even exchange injuries with Ash.
Not only that, as time went by, both sides gradually memorized each other's fighting methods by heart, so their prediction level was further deepened, even to the point of backing each other up.
Ash's eyes moved downward, and Visser saw his next dozens of sword moves; when Visser changed her stance, Ash knew what style she would switch to next.
They are not fighting, but playing out the future they see.
"How far can your eyes see?"
Amid the fierce fighting, Weisser seemed unaffected and asked in a calm tone.
"To see your death."
Ash answered immediately.
"I can see that I get what I want, realize my ideals, and reach the other side of eternity. The world changes because of me, and fate diverges when I meet it. History will not record me, but I will become history." Weisser said: "What can you see? How many wives did you marry, or how many children did you have?"
"Why do you use the quantifier 'several'..." Ash gradually adapted to the rhythm of the conversation during the fight: "The most I want is to see my beloved and I grow old together."
"How pathetic! You can't even chase after immortality?"
"I dare you. Who wouldn't want to? But there are different priorities. If I hold on to happiness and still have energy left, I will naturally pursue those unattainable desires."
“A life surrounded by aging and death is nothing but an illusion of happiness,” Weisser said. “A limited illusion.”
"But isn't it the same for you?" Ash said, "You are so eager to pursue your dream, scheming and ignoring the cost, isn't it because you are also afraid of the unpredictable fate?"
The character of the Senluo people is closely linked to this wasteland. In other words, the people of each country have the imprint of their own country.
Just like the Blood Moon People will gradually move towards self-destruction, the Senluo People have witnessed too many sudden deaths due to the environmental factors of the green night, the wasteland apocalypse, and the rampant green disasters. Naturally, they understand the truth of 'time waits for no one'. In addition, there is a chance of becoming a Dafa after death, so almost everyone can't wait to burn themselves and pursue their ideals. After all, they can continue to exist in another form of life after death.
In order to resist the threat of the Dark Night, all Senluo people must develop an overly fiery self. Belief in Falun Dafa is both a shortcut for them to develop their self and a container for them to place their self in.
Once they lose their container, most people's souls will perish in emptiness until they find the next container; a few are like Yashajin, Yindeng, and those founders of sects, whose egos are huge enough to illuminate the night until they burn themselves into a new Dafa, accepting the trust and worship of others.
"But death to me is not withering, but rebirth; it is not an end, but a time limit." Even though the sword almost passed through her throat, Weisser's voice did not change at all: "Death has never spared you, and I have never spared death. This is the difference between us."
Do you want to use words to attack me and make me reveal my flaws? Ash sent a courier directly under Big Ben: "So what? I don't care. I just want to live an ordinary and peaceful life. Do you need me to praise you for your ambition?"
"But does your companion think so too?"
Weisser held the sword in her backhand across his throat, and the pupils behind the fox mask stared at Ash's eyes closely: "Does the psychic want to live a peaceful life? Does the necromancer want to become ordinary?"
Ash pushed the sword away and struck back, "Of course they don't want to."
"But do you know why they are willing to follow you?"
"Of course it's because of my extraordinary personality."
"That's right."
Ash was stunned. It was this surprise that nearly made him get beaten to death by Weisser. He thought to himself that Yindeng was so despicable and shameless. He was cursing and suddenly praised him and made him suffer a mental shock... This was a psychological attack!
"It's because of your charm," Weisser said coldly, "because you are empty enough."
"Are your companions all ambitious and ambitious people who cannot accept being ordinary? If you were not there, do you think they could get along well and form a bond?"
Ash's mind immediately flashed through his former companions: Annan, Panji, Liz, Igula, Xavi, Langna, Ronald, Tamashi... as well as Sword Lady and Witch.
Although he was reluctant to boast about his importance, after all, it would be too arrogant, but he thought seriously, could Igula and Harvey really coexist peacefully together? If it weren't for this series of encounters, Harvey would have found a mass grave and stayed there for decades until he became the Ghost King, and Igula would soon be on his way to becoming the Rusty Crow.
As for Tamashi... Ash himself could guess that if he couldn't return to Nightfall and reunite with the others as soon as possible, Tamashi's status in Igula's eyes would soon drop from "teammate" to "tool", or even "disposable tool".
Annan was even more of a heavyweight. He might have let Igula go, but Harvey definitely wanted to take revenge on her. If it weren't for Ash, if Harvey could return to the Gospel Kingdom, he would never let go of the purple moth that once dominated him.
The relationship between Annan and Liz is even more complicated. Annan wants to subvert the gospel, and Liz is the first gospel.
As for Sword Lady and Witch, although they have a good relationship, Ash asked himself, if it was just the two of them, would they really have the current relationship? Sword Lady hated newcomers at first, and Witch also fell into a state of madness with dirty hair from time to time at the beginning...
"You have also realized your importance, right?" Weisser said, "But why would you, who has no ideals and is empty, become the key role in connecting others? Why would those lustful people be willing to be your companion?"
"It is because their desires are too intense and their dreams are too huge that they need you so much. You are an empty vase, an empty socket. They cannot be companions to each other. Equally intense people will only burn each other. But only you, who are empty and vulgar, can accommodate their huge egos and give them peace."
Bang!
Ash finally revealed a flaw and was shaved by Weisser's knife, leaving a bloody cut on his left shoulder!
"You are not their companions at all," the voice behind the fox mask was full of venom, "What they see in you is themselves."
"What you think of as a companionship is nothing but a wishful illusion."
