Perspective: Taishi Xi

"You..."

Another black-clothed person saw their comrade fall, about to say something but held back, instead assuming a defensive posture.

"I must say, you guys are shamelessly killing people out in the open. And these black clothes are really shabby, looks like you bought them from some small store on the whim, right? Can I assume that you don't normally engage in this kind of trade? But have you recently switched occupations?"

Bai Yueguang taunted the other side.

Actually, we don't know whether the clothes were bought on a whim or not. Although the opponent's clothes seem new, they could have just switched into a different outfit on a whim.

The most direct information comes from the opponent's title.

The Poisonous Red Scorpion Mercenary Group.

All their other titles were all mixed up, so we ignored them. But they all belong to this seemingly formidable mercenary group, which is worth looking into.

However, since we are not natives of this continent, naturally we don't know what kind of mercenaries they are.

For now, what we need to do is simply take note and study them later.

Looking over at Cui Zhengping beside me, it seems he is accustomed to such situations. At this moment, he stood quietly behind us, calmly observing everything.

...

Wait, this guy is too calm. There is not a trace of fear on his face, which is not at all the expression one should have when surrounded by people ready to kill him, right?

However, his title is simply Young Master Cui, a Level 30 swordsman, a carefree person, and a member of the Divine Eastern Trading Company, without any particularly impressive titles or traits.

I can't understand this at all...

The battle suddenly came to a standstill; the opponents seemed to have no further actions, instead quietly waiting.

This made me alert. Could it be that they have some hidden move up their sleeves?

At that moment, I saw Cui Zhengping suddenly smile faintly and make a certain movement with his hand.

Immediately, a sense of killing intent came from the left!

I quickly accelerated backward, swoosh, a long spear passed in front of me, boom, it struck the nearby artificial mountain, turning it into rubble. At the same time, the spear also pierced into the floor behind, almost burying half its length into the ground!

I looked vigilantly in the direction from which the attack came, and somehow, there was a figure in full silver knight armor floating on the nearby rooftop, with numerous golden spears in hand and behind him, staring at us.

Moreover, strangely, that person had no title or name, seemingly just like an armor standing there.

But in the next moment, he accelerated straight towards me, both spears in hand thrusting at me simultaneously!

Bai Yueguang was just about to come to my aid when the surrounding black-clothed figures all moved at once, attacking him together.

"So you were waiting for reinforcement! You're finished!"

Bai Yueguang roared, turning into a blur of sword shadows among the crowd.

However...

Is this guy an idiot? Who uses spears like that?

I picked his long spear with my right spear directly, then kicked him out with one foot!

That kick was truly remarkable, kicking him felt just like kicking a steel plate. If not for my strength being decent, I would have probably fractured some bones just now!

Therefore, I immediately accelerated towards him and stabbed my spear at his chest!

"Ultimate· Sky Piercer!"

The red light pierced directly at his chest, with a clang echoing on the armor on his chest!

However, the long spear that could have pierced thick armor didn't penetrate the opponent's armor. Instead, a blue light flashed from his chest, followed by a surge of force emanating from my spear, sending me flying out!

"What the hell?"

I turned in mid-air to stop the momentum and landed on the ground in disbelief, staring at the armor.

"What is this thing? Does it have a built-in recoil?"

Neutralizing my attack and then exerting force back at me, isn't that a recoil?

And even when I hit accurately, not due to any skillful action from the opponent, it can only mean one thing—the opponent's defense is incredibly high!

Moreover, judging from the blue light emitted by the opponent just now, it seems to be a magical or spell-enhanced defense rather than a physical defense.

Since the opponent is wearing knight armor, it must be magic, right?

But hey, actions have equal reactions; the opponent also took several steps back after sending me flying, using the long spear to stop himself.

Yet, in the next second, I witnessed an even more ridiculous sight: the opponent actually reached out his hand, and a long spear appeared directly in his grasp. I suddenly felt uneasy, turned around, and realized the long spear that had attacked me and was stuck in the ground was now nowhere to be seen.

Oh, what kind of strange perpetual motion machine is this?

Damn it, if only I had Fir's strange magic-absorbing equipment, dealing with this guy wouldn't be so difficult, even if he absorbed for a few minutes, he would still be movable.

But only that guy Fir dares to use that device in battle, right? That thing is quite delicate, and if the opponent attacks during our installation, the device will be scrapped.

Furthermore, what I witnessed next was even more absurd; the opponent raised both hands, and the long spear behind him seemed to receive a command, sticking in mid-air beside him, all pointing toward me!

Does this guy think he's shimmering gold?

Could you at least not bring only long spears next time? Carry some other weapons, the golden sparkling long spear armor is so over-the-top!

But this isn't the time to joke around; I quickly grabbed all the charms on my body and the copper mirrors I had found in the labyrinth before, and threw them all into the air at once!

"Divine Art of Heavenly Occurrence!"

As soon as I spoke, all the charms and copper mirrors lit up, swirling around me.

I've never used this spell before, and the first time I use it is solely relying on the incantation; it's just...

But this is the strongest defensive spell I know of, and I'm not planning to take it head-on!

While fleeing is an option, if the opponent has tracking ability, it could be a problem. Hence, trying defense is the best option now.

"Descend, Heavenly Arms, gather the spirits of the four seas, the elegance of heaven and earth, the radiance of the sun and moon, Startle! Array of Heavenly Transformation!"

The copper mirrors flew in front of me, the surrounding charms emitted beams of light, interconnecting with each other.

When the final beam of light connected to the copper mirror in front of me, all the surrounding charms were suddenly activated, transforming into the shape of copper mirrors!

At that moment, the opponent's long spear emitted a buzzing sound, continuously shooting towards me!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!

The sound of the long spear continuously hitting the copper mirrors reverberated from the surroundings. With each impact, I could feel an oppressive force bearing down on me. As the number of strikes increased, this oppressive feeling grew stronger and stronger!

Damn it! What kind of thing is this guy using? The destructive power could even tear down a city directly, couldn't it?

Moreover, I began to faintly sense that the frequency of these attacks was getting faster and stronger, as if this guy was getting happier the more he attacked? Good Lord! If I don't figure something out soon, I feel like I'll collapse in ten seconds! This guy's magic power is too much, right? He's been attacking non-stop for so long? "Don't push me..." If it really comes down to it, I can only solve the problem using one method, which is to partially transform into the Azure Dragon. However, this ability can only be activated and deactivated using keys. In other words, I don't know how to stop it... But, if it's a matter of saving my life, I don't care how to stop it, if... At this moment, the pressure around suddenly disappeared, my body relaxed, and I knelt down halfway. The runes around turned into ashes in the air, and the bronze mirror cracked into pieces with a snap. Turning around, I saw Hei Luoli holding a dagger against Cui Zhengping's neck. "Young Master Cui, have you had enough fun?" Hei Luoli smiled, exerting more force with his hand. "Of course..." Cui Zhengping no longer had his previous silly smile, but a wry one. "So, can you let go of the knife now?" "No, first compensate for medical expenses!" These money-grubbing guys... If anyone should be compensated first, it should be me...
