Chapter 215
It was a really fast and fierce blow.
Shen Yijing's long sword looks like a long black hole, which can absorb all nearby light sources, so that not a trace of light can be reflected on the sword.
However, when he swung his long sword and attacked in the face, Jiang Yunu felt like a black lightning was hitting him head-on.
The knife pierced the air, causing the surrounding air to be swept up. The air suddenly broke, and her eardrum received a buzzing sound from the air tearing apart.
The green barrier did not completely block the knife, it just slowed down the forward speed of the blade.
This slight delay of a few seconds was enough for Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu dodged the knife with a body speed that was comparable to Shen Yijing's knife speed. She was like another light gust of wind, or like a feather blown away by Shen Yijing's awe-inspiring momentum, and floated to the back of a protruding rock on the mountain beside her.
Shen Yijing’s knife was not unsheathed.
Jiang Yunu was able to see the state of the opponent's sword in this split second and confirmed that the black long sword actually had no blade.
Perhaps because of her, a “weak school player”, Captain Shen played more conservatively and felt that he did not need to show his sword for her.
It could also be that Captain Shen felt that her crime was not serious enough to require him to draw his sword.
Shen Yijing's sword strike missed, but he did not stop nor did he speed up his pace to pursue.
Shen Yijing held the black long knife in one hand and continued to walk forward steadily, approaching the back of the rock where Jiang Yunu was.
"Is all you can do is hide?" Shen Yijing asked.
Jiang Yunu said: "I am not used to being pursued too enthusiastically."
“…” Shen Yijing was silent again.
But Shen Yijing's knife was not silent at all.
Even unsheathed, encased in a sheath the same pure black as the blade itself, this long sword still possessed a formidable presence. It could easily pierce the air, causing it to emit a humming sound as if being pierced at high speed, and the wind it stirred up was so sharp that it could carve marks into the surface of the rock wall.
Jiang Yunu had a strange intuition: she felt that if the other party wanted to, the knife could be even more ruthless.
Shen Yijing's overall state gave her a rather strange feeling, making her feel that the other party seemed to be doing her duty to intercept her, a thief who had "stolen" a lot of things behind Duma Academy. However, from some mysterious other perspective, Captain Shen felt that she was not bad, so he did not take any ruthless action.
——At least he wasn’t prepared to chop her, a thief, into pieces.
Shen Yijing's knife is still "chasing".
In a way that was actually not "enthusiastic" at all considering the level of strength Shen Yijing usually displayed.
Jiang Yunu used the mountain rock wall as cover, circling around with Shen Yijing, treating Captain Shen as the boss in the game and "flying a kite" with the other party.
But it’s boring to keep flying the kite, and it looks like a bizarre battlefield duet.
Jiang Yunu didn't notice any signs of other school team players nearby. She guessed that Shen Yijing must have assigned the task in advance and then intercepted her here alone.
"When are you going to get serious?" Jiang Yunu asked.
She and Shen Yijing walked around again and felt that the mountain wall that they had encircled into the battlefield had become thinner, like ice cream melted by the sun, and collapsed silently.
"If you just want to show off Captain Duma's figure and style in front of me, then I've seen enough and I'm ready to leave." Jiang Yunu said again.
This was not just a joke, she really planned that if Shen Yijing could not continue to launch a truly high-damage attack, she would wait for an opportunity to escape and continue to reunite with the Golden Uriel team.
The game time will not stop just because she triggered the little easter egg of "Duet with Captain Shen".
The game was still going on, and Solok and other teammates were still waiting for her.
The later Golden Urie moves in the center of the circle, the smaller the probability of scoring points from the center of the circle, and the less optimistic the score growth in the later stages of the game.
Shen Yijing's knife brushed against the edge of the stone where Jiang Yunu had been hiding two seconds ago. The gust of wind passed through the hem of Jiang Yunu's clothes, and she floated backwards as if she had no weight.
Shen Yijing said: "Are you serious?"
During the two people's duet, Jiang Yunu did most of the talking, and Shen Yijing rarely replied to her.
From Shen Yijing's perspective, he didn't think Jiang Yunu was serious either.
——Jiang Yunu was indeed just hiding the whole time.
She observed him for a long time with interest, keeping a safe distance at all times, as if she was dismantling him from head to toe.
That gaze seemed to penetrate his black combat uniform and see every inch of his muscles contracting and moving when he swung the knife.
Captain Shen, who came from a privileged background, rarely experienced this kind of gaze. In the First District, staring at an opponent so closely, even in a battle, would be considered "offensive", let alone in normal times.
However, the white-haired girl opposite seemed to have no self-awareness at all.
Look whatever you want to see. This is the basic way the other person treats everything and everyone around him.
After hearing what he said, the other party sighed half-heartedly - she had been forced to move so many times by his sword wind, and had narrowly escaped the black sword every time, but her breathing was still steady and her voice was neither trembling nor panicked.
"Hey." The white-haired girl said, "You're not serious, and you know I'm not serious. I was indeed admiring Captain Shen's style the whole time. You didn't know that I was 'fighting second, admiring first', so you deliberately didn't take it seriously so that I could admire him for a while longer, right?"
Shen Yijing: “…” Listening to her talk really makes people distracted on the battlefield.
Jiang Yunu felt that Shen Yijing's attack suddenly changed.
Perhaps it was her repeated "verbal provocations" that finally drove him crazy, but Shen Yijing suddenly raised his shoulders and arms, and chopped down the long sword from the air. The blow was as powerful as a bamboo breaking, and an irresistible sharp aura emanated from the sword wrapped in the long sheath.
This was the most serious blow Shen Yijing had used since they met today.
Before the sword wind even reached Jiang Yunu, she could already feel the sharpness flowing in the air.
Jiang Yunu blinked and raised her hand slightly - but she did not create another supernatural defense barrier.
There was sharp and tiny energy in the air created by Shen Yijing's knife, as well as a more flexible energy, which accurately passed through all the sharp parts that rotated like blades.
Shen Yijing's inertial thinking led him to believe that Jiang Yunu's ability would precisely collide with his own, countering the attack with offense. He had already lowered his wrist, preparing for the black knife to receive a counterattack from the earth-type ability.
But after his wrist sank slightly, he could no longer lift it up.
The green, vine-like power passed through the air, bypassed the blade, and directly wrapped around Shen Yijing's wrist.
Energy as green as new leaves of spring willows climbed up his wrists, and the green superpowers of the same origin moved towards each other. The superpowers entwined in the two hands extended countless smaller energy tentacles to each other, allowing the two superpowers to be quickly connected together.
Shen Yijing: “…”
Jiang Yunu handcuffed his hands.
It was basically a pair of green supernatural handcuffs that bound Captain Duma's hands.
Captain Shen froze for a few seconds in his unprecedented battlefield experience, and these few seconds were more than enough for Jiang Yunu.
"I know your team members must have been feasting in the center of the circle." Jiang Yunu handcuffed the man and left, slipping out of the battle circle. It was the wind that carried her voice to her opponent still halfway up the hill. "Sorry, I'm really in a hurry. I have to hurry back to help my team earn more points."
Shen Yijing listened to the voice carried by the wind with a hint of laughter. He took a deep breath, and the amber-gold light belonging to the wind-type supernatural power wrapped around his wrists, shattering the handcuffs.
Jiang Yunu didn't care much about Captain Shen's intense mental journey.
She disappeared in the blink of an eye and rushed to the meeting point in a hurry.
Shen Yijing didn't care whether she was passionate inside or not. Anyway, the other party didn't continue to pursue her. She felt that this was a good thing at the moment and she should put the matter behind her.
While Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing were fighting, Sorok had sent her another team communication, wanting to ask her where she was, but Jiang Yunu was too busy to answer it.
When Sorok sent the second inquiry communication, Jiang Yunu had just arrived at the assembly point.
Jin Qing had sharp eyes. As soon as Jiang Yunu's signature white hair appeared within her field of vision, she told the others, "Xiao Jiang is back."
Sorok stopped sending the communication request and he breathed a sigh of relief visibly.
Suoroke went to meet Jiang Yunu who had just returned to the team. "Did you have a smooth journey here? I sent you an application just now, but you didn't answer it. Were you busy on your way, or did something unexpected happen?"
The captain started with a series of expressions of concern, which was enough to show that he really cared about the safety of every team member.
Jiang Yunu didn't hide anything. She said frankly, "I encountered a little trouble, but it's okay. I successfully bypassed the enemy and rushed back."
When Sorok heard that Jiang Yunu had triggered the "encounter", his heart tightened, and he immediately remembered Jiang Yunu's previous consecutive scores of unknown origin.
The team had assembled, and everyone was still safe. As Sorok led the team back toward the center of the circle, he carefully chose his words and asked, "Can you tell me, when you said 'just to take a look' earlier, where exactly did you go to 'take a look', and how did you get so many points?"
The other members of the Golden Uriel team around them pricked up their ears.
Thanks to Jiang Yunu's decision to "just go and take a look", the entire "golden scoring period" has passed, announcing that the game has entered the more competitive second half. However, the overall ranking of the Golden Urie school team is still quite impressive!
In addition to the guaranteed points from the rear area, they also had a large amount of "unknown points" looted by Jiang Yunu alone.
The combined scores from the two places allowed the Golden Urie school team to reach a rare position in the upper middle of the overall rankings.
——All in the top four!
And it's not just a slight difference in points between them and the top four, but there is a clear difference in points between them and the teams behind them.
"I went to check out someone else's link sector." Jiang Yunu answered honestly.
"..." Sorok covered his forehead with his hands. He felt that the team members' previous guesses were perfectly deduced.
Jiang Yunu remained honest, kind, well-behaved and reliable in front of the captain.
The center of the circle was in front of him. Sorok took a deep breath. He could already feel the mixed energy in it.
All the school teams are now entering the center of the circle, which will be the battlefield for a melee among the eight schools.
But before that, Sorok felt that he had to know who was most likely to immediately target them, Golden Uriel, once he led the team into the center of the circle - especially the school that Jiang Yunu had "looked at".
"Whose link sector did you go to?" Sorok asked.
Jiang Yunu said, "Duma College."
“…”
In that second, Jin Qing felt that the captain seemed to want to turn around in front of the center of the circle and lead the team to escape quickly.
