Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 31: Blocking the Battle
The three warriors did not climb up very quickly, but after Tang Zheng and the others climbed out of the crevice, there was no road under their feet.
Tang Zheng forced himself to imagine that he could fly, and in a hurry, he used his footwork and martial arts to fly a little, but that was at most light-weight flying, which was not very useful in the rocky terrain.
"Shall we fight?" Fortunately, there were only three warriors who followed them up, and Tang Xiaotang and the others were all ready for battle.
"Well, let's wait until they come up and then take action." This was all Tang Zheng could do for now.
The three warriors were the same, with no expression on their faces, as if they were only left with the fighting instinct.
As soon as they came up, Tang Zheng, Leng Zhan and Jiang Wuyan came to greet them respectively.
However, as soon as they came into contact, the three of them felt something was wrong at the same time...
When Leng Zhan and Qin Jilu were fighting, it felt like a normal fight between warriors, but the attacking style of these three warriors was only offensive and not defensive. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be crazy!
"Make as little noise as possible and end this quickly." Tang Zheng reminded his teammates while listening to the sound of falling rocks. His own fighting rhythm remained steady.
Relying on his imaginary "assassin equipment", he basically ignored the opponent's attacks. After taking a hit from a martial arts skill, he rushed forward, shook his left hand, and activated the assassin skill directly, attacking from the shadows, instantly knocking the man into a dizzy state.
Looking at the warrior whom he had met several times at the previous martial arts forum in the academy, Tang Zheng secretly apologized, and shook the dagger in his right hand. With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade popped out and suddenly cut towards the warrior's carotid artery.
Blade rain from clear sky!
A burst of light green mist gushed out along Tang Zheng's sharp blade.
If it was in the game in Tang Zheng’s previous life, this fog would be toxic!
Of course, don't expect the dream master who is trying to save energy to simulate this kind of poisonous effect now. However, looking at the light green mist rising in front of him, Tang Zheng still felt dazed.
The last time I saw the light green mist of Clear Sky Blade Rain was almost a year ago.
"Dang——" After the crisp sound of swords colliding, Tang Zheng's palm felt numb and he came back to his senses in horror.
What's going on?
The fatal throat-slashing blow he had just made was unexpectedly stabbed out by a long sword, and it just missed the warrior's neck by a hair's breadth.
Long sword?
Where did the sword come from?
The fog created by the skill that Tang Zheng "dreamt" of blocked his vision, and he could not see the situation clearly for a while.
The sword was so powerful that it blocked the blade of Tang Zheng's dagger, leaving only a shallow wound on the warrior's neck, from which bright red blood flowed out.
Encountering the sudden change, although Tang Zheng was a little confused, he did not panic. He activated the assassin skill Blink and took advantage of the situation to pull the warrior in front of him back.
The warrior who had just escaped from the clutches of death was immediately thrown off balance by Tang Zheng. He leaned back and, looking as if he wanted to commit suicide, he rushed towards the sword again and was about to be killed.
However, the owner of the sword not only reacted extremely quickly, but also seemed to be very familiar with Tang Zheng's fighting rhythm and style!
He did not feel the slightest bit of joy or laziness after having just snatched food from a tiger's mouth. He immediately withdrew his sword with full concentration, leaving only a shallow scar on the warrior's neck. He once again walked between life and death.
Who would have thought that the warrior who was rescued didn't even realize that he was being rescued.
For a moment , he even gave up on Tang Zheng, who had already turned behind him and was posing a threat. Instead, he roared, his star signs brightened, and rushed directly towards the warrior in front of him who had just saved him twice in a row.
Tang Zheng, who was ignored by the warrior and stayed where he was, suddenly felt a little confused.
“These warriors who were tortured and broken by their inner demons in their dreams have indeed fallen into a state of complete insanity. They can’t even distinguish between friend and foe. All they have left is a murderous desire. They fight instinctively, and it will be a big trouble for anyone who encounters them.” Tang Zheng saw this scene and thought to himself, but he paused and did not force an attack. Instead, he chose to wait and see what was going on.
The warrior who had already lost his mind moved very swiftly, and did not care about the loss of his star power at all. He almost desperately rushed towards the person who had just appeared out of nowhere and continuously blocked Tang Zheng's killing moves.
The fog has dissipated a little.
But from Tang Zheng's perspective, the rescuer holding the long sword had his face blocked by the mad warrior, and for a moment Tang Zheng couldn't see clearly who it was.
But, the sword in his hand seemed familiar ...
At the moment when the warrior who had lost his mind was attacking with the most powerful martial arts, the body of the warrior opposite him suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and floated quietly to the side.
Then, he slowly formed himself on the side of the crazy warrior, and while the crazy warrior had just made a move but had not yet launched a new one, he turned the sword's tip, gripped the hilt in reverse, and with a wave of star power, hit the back of the warrior's head cleanly and neatly!
Boom!
The crazy warrior's acupoint on the back of his head was suddenly hit hard. His eyes turned black and the star power in his body dimmed. He fell limply to the ground.
After the warrior fell to the ground, Tang Zheng finally saw the face of the warrior who suddenly appeared and forcibly attacked: "Xu Qingyan?!"
Xu Qingyan supported the fallen warrior and gently placed him on the ground beside him.
His expression was as stern as usual. He nodded towards Tang Zheng. Seeing that Tang Zheng was in good condition and did not seem to be injured, he nodded and said, "Long time no see."
haven't seen you for a long time……
The corners of Tang Zheng's mouth twitched.
The warrior in Tang Zheng's hand was rescued by Xu Qingyan, but the other two warriors were not so lucky. They were killed on the spot by Leng Zhan and others.
"I'm here to help you." Xu Qingyan squeezed out another sentence.
"..." Tang Zheng's mouth twitched even more. Thinking of appearing in front of him, blocking his attack and saving the warrior's sword, he said unhappily: "Are you sure you are here to help us?"
Aren’t you here to help these zombies?
Tang Xiaotang also looked puzzled: "Is he your relative? Or... are you having an affair with him?" She pointed at the warrior who was put on the ground by Xu Qingyan and had fainted.
These warriors have gone completely crazy. Fighting with them is extremely dangerous and time-consuming. They must be killed more quietly and quickly.
Seeing the slight smirk on Tang Xiaotang's face, Xu Qingyan replied calmly: "I don't know him, but he can't be killed."
When they heard what he said, everyone fell silent.
Xu Qingyan is a very purposeful person and he would not act without a purpose. Since he said that this person cannot be killed, there must be a reason why he cannot be killed.
"In fact, not only he cannot be killed, but all of them cannot be killed. These warriors whose minds are controlled by the Dream Mirage are also called the Fearless. They have only temporarily lost their minds and are controlled by the Dream Mirage. If the Nightmare Realm is broken, they may still recover. However, once they die in the Nightmare Realm, their soul power will be completely absorbed by the Dream Mirage and become food that nourishes the Dream Mirage and makes it grow stronger."
“……”Everyone felt like they were listening to a divine book.
"Mirage, Nightmare Ink Realm, Fearless, Soul Power... There is so much information in your words." Tang Zheng touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
Tang Xiaotang looked at Xu Qingyan, then at Tang Zheng, hoping that Tang Zheng would come up with a simpler and easier to understand explanation.
However, after Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you say I can't kill you, then I won't kill you!"
Tang Xiaotang almost fell to the ground.
It was obvious that Tang Zheng, like them, did not understand what Xu Qingyan said at all.
The key point is that Tang Zheng still had an expression that said "come on, I'm moved".
"I can't kill him because I have too many concerns. Besides, this is not my true strength after all. How can I get out if I can't fight happily?" Leng Zhan said in a muffled voice after his dazzling lightning flashed away.
"How do we get out? I'm afraid there are only two ways, either to find out the true form of the dream mirage, or to break the boundary with brute force. The former is the best option, which should ensure that everyone wakes up safely, while the latter is the worst option. No one knows what consequences will be caused by forcibly breaking the boundary... These are just what I learned from ancient books before. As for how much deviation there is between the records and the actual situation, or whether the demon clan has changed the secret method of the nightmare realm over the years, these are all unknowns." Xu Qingyan said.
No one asked Xu Qingyan how he knew these things that no one else knew.
Since no one asked, he naturally wouldn't waste time saying more.
“Let’s not talk about how to get out of the dream first. Let’s just talk about the other students who are trapped in the dream like us. I’m afraid that there are quite a few people who have been controlled by their inner demons and become the fearless ones as Xu Qingyan said. No matter which student, their fighting strength should not be underestimated. After losing their minds, they are even more fearless of death. If we fight with them without going all out with the awareness of a life-and-death battle, it will be difficult for us to win! Now that we are restrained, it’s like dancing in shackles…” Jiang Wuyan shook his head.
Looking at the shadowy figure that had appeared not far away, everyone fell silent again.
You can't hide, you must fight, and you can't kill.
It is really full of dangers and extremely difficult!
“However, in this dream, as long as we can overcome the shackles in our hearts, our combat effectiveness can be increased exponentially. And these fearless people are obviously just fighting in the way they are most familiar with in reality. Although they are fearless of death, their strength is still not as good as ours. So… although we are outnumbered and cannot kill the opponent, we still have a chance if we fight desperately.” Tang Xiaotang saw that the atmosphere was a bit depressing and tried to cheer everyone up.
Hearing Tang Xiaotang's words, Xu Qingyan shook his head gently: "No...it's not that simple."
