Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 71: Escape or strategic retreat?
Tang Zheng's fan dagger with both hands and the cold Jiang Xue were shining with starlight. His whole speed was even faster than the lightning in the sky.
His figure flashed in the air for a moment, and the sharp blades of the two daggers had already stabbed in front of the Far North Demon Butterfly.
The cold light of the two daggers instantly drew two extremely dazzling light bands in the air. These dazzling light bands also brought with them an extremely sharp murderous intent, which firmly locked onto the Northern Demon Butterfly.
As long as this four-star peak Northern Demonic Butterfly reacted half a second slower, Tang Zheng would be able to attack it with his left fist and his right fist, making two huge holes in it that would be chilling to the core.
The Northern Demon Butterfly was also slightly frightened by Tang Zheng's decisive attack, his agile speed, and the murderous intent that frightened it a little.
However, the Far North Demon Butterfly, which has been practicing under the cruel rule of the survival of the fittest since birth, is by no means a weakling.
It flapped its wings, and four demonic fires behind it blazed brightly. It let out a fierce roar, and flew backwards abruptly, narrowly avoiding Tang Zheng's two swift martial arts attacks.
However, how could Tang Zheng's attack be so easy to deal with? When he was still at a low level, Tang Zheng used his extremely terrifying star power control ability to practice the full set of dagger skills to perfection. No matter whether it was the fighting maniac Leng Zhan or the proud children of major top academies, they all admired Tang Zheng's martial arts and fighting skills.
And now, Tang Zheng has completely become a fifth-level strongman. Although he has not had time to practice high-level martial arts, the actual combat effect of martial arts has never been purely based on the hero's level.
There is no strongest martial art, only the strongest warrior.
And now, this four-star peak Far North Demon Butterfly finally experienced this sentence firsthand.
It was clear that the martial arts Tang Zheng used were not exaggerated, and were not like those used by many high-level martial artists. His every move was like stars shining, the earth shaking, and the sound and light effects were perfect.
However, Tang Zheng's two low-key stabs were like a leech, causing the Northern Demon Butterfly, which was usually proud of its speed and agility, to think that no matter how I dodge, it will be in vain. It will not stop until these two martial arts pierce its body!
"Skills give birth to the soul?!" The demon butterfly of the far north noticed the weakness in its mind at that moment. The hairs on its back suddenly stood up, its whole body shuddered, its forehead ached, and it broke out in a cold sweat.
Skills give birth to spirits, which is a legendary martial arts phenomenon.
When a warrior has cultivated a martial art to the highest level, once it is displayed, this martial art will have the magical effect of disturbing the enemy's mind, or shocking, or frightening, or panicking... It can even make the enemy completely unable to resist, and win without fighting!
As a four-star peak demon, this Northern Demon Butterfly had only heard the tribe's high-level people occasionally mention this level of martial arts, but it never expected that today, in the hands of a five-star warrior, it would feel the terrifying effect of the Skill-Born Yuan Ling on two martial arts that looked no more than two stars!
At the moment when this four-star peak Far North Demon Butterfly was panicking, Tang Zheng's two martial arts finally worked and successfully pierced into the body of the Far North Demon Butterfly.
Seeing that the Northern Demon Butterfly was about to be seriously injured, at the critical moment, the Northern Demon Butterfly bit its tongue hard. The severe pain in its mouth made its mind suddenly clear. It moved its two butterfly wings again and flew out in an extremely strange trajectory. It moved its body sideways to avoid the vital points and blocked Tang Zheng's two martial arts with its arms.
"Puff——" Two blood arrows shot up high.
The Far North Demon Butterfly escaped death but not living punishment. Its entire right arm was almost broken by Tang Zheng's two martial arts, revealing white bones and broken tendons and flesh.
The Far North Demon Butterfly cried out in pain, and turned around suddenly, disappearing from Tang Zheng's sight before Tang Zheng's next attack came.
"Ah! Sister Xiu'er, be careful!" Tang Xiaotang's eyes were full of energy, and she was about to step forward to help Tang Zheng, trying to kill the Arctic Demon Butterfly on the spot in the shortest time possible. However, her eyes blurred and she saw the Arctic Demon Butterfly suddenly appear in front of Hua Yingxiu.
"Fuck, do you have any moral cultivation and basic qualities? You don't even fight me head-on and run to cut the back row. You are so shameless!" Tang Zheng glared and cursed angrily.
The Northern Demon Butterfly understood that in its current state, if it was entangled with anyone present for a while longer, Tang Zheng would be able to turn around and kill it in no time. Even if it had the confidence that it could hold on until the demon tide arrived, it did not want to die together with Tang Zheng and the others.
What it wants to do most now is to quickly kill one of Tang Zheng's companions before Tang Zheng can react, in order to relieve the hatred in its heart that Tang Zheng almost cut off one of its arms!
Hua Yingxiu was only at the peak of three stars, and was obviously the weak link in this team. The Northern Demon Butterfly chose Hua Yingxiu as its target without even a second thought.
Xiaotang and his companions had just rushed forward half a body length at this moment, intending to surround and kill the Northern Demon Butterfly. When they saw Hua Yingxiu encountering the enemy, they turned around to rescue her, but it was too late.
Looking at the cruel look flashing in the narrow and charming eyes of the Far North Demon Butterfly, and the smug smile of impending success appearing at the corners of its mouth, Tang Xiaotang and the others were almost tearing their eyes out.
"Xiu'er, breastplate!" Tang Zheng suddenly shouted loudly.
Hua Yingxiu, who had been prepared to fight to the death, reacted suddenly when she heard Tang Zheng's cry. She directly held the breastplate that Tang Zheng had just refined in front of her chest. She didn't even have time to put it on, so she had to force the star power into the breastplate.
"Ziz——" The Northern Demon Butterfly had already slapped down with one claw, but Xiu'er suddenly raised her breastplate, and its claw pierced through the breastplate as expected, taking out Hua Yingxiu's exquisite heart and crushing it in front of Tang Zheng and the others. However, this did not happen. Instead, a sharp and piercing sound made one's teeth ache from the breastplate, and then starlight runes lit up, and a flexible and firm force came, completely repelling her demon claws with blazing demon fire, and even the flames on the demon claws were extinguished by the azure and warm Taiyin star power.
"Ah--" The Arctic Demon Butterfly looked at its own claws in astonishment, feeling the icy pain and disgust coming from its claws. It couldn't help but glance at the breastplate that Hua Yingxiu held in front of her chest, and an inexplicable feeling of irritation arose spontaneously.
At this time, the attacks of Tang Zheng and others had come one after another, from all directions, completely covering it.
The northern demon butterfly glared at Hua Yingxiu fiercely, and with reluctance and helplessness, it flapped its wings again.
Seeing that the Far North Demon Butterfly seemed to be using the same old trick again, Tang Xiaotang and the other four-star warriors immediately stopped attacking and tacitly switched to a defensive position to prevent themselves from being defeated by the Far North Demon Butterfly.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaotang and his group had just switched from offense to defense, but they did not receive the angry attack from the four-star peak Far North Demon Butterfly. When they looked closely, they found that the four-star peak Far North Demon Butterfly did not even fight back, but flapped its wings and ran away!
"Damn, he runs away when he can't win. He has absolutely no dignity as a warrior!" Tang Zheng couldn't help but complain again.
Tang Xiaotang and the others were also a little puzzled. Only three breaths of time had passed. If this Northern Demonic Butterfly could drag on for a few more breaths, they would be in great danger.
"It's originally a monster, not a human being, so where does the dignity of a warrior come from... Besides, if you can't beat it, just run away. Isn't that the first rule of navigating the world that you taught us, Master?" Tang Xiaotang said with a smile.
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Nonsense, I clearly said that if we can't win, we should retreat strategically. When did I say that if we can't win, we should run away... Hiss, okay, stop talking nonsense, the monster wave is getting closer and closer, the wind is strong, hurry up!"
After Tang Zhengyi finished speaking, he followed the escape route of the Far North Demon Butterfly, whom he had just despised, and began the "strategic retreat" operation.
The rest of the people followed suit and quickly followed Tang Zheng, once again embarking on the road to escape.
Without the suppression of the four-star peak demon clan, even though Hua Yingxiu had just been between life and death and her heart was still beating a little fast, she finally felt a lot more relaxed. She no longer needed Tang Zheng's star power support and could keep up with the team.
"However, the behavior of the four-star peak Arctic Demon Butterfly just now was still a bit strange. According to my observation and analysis, although its attack was blocked by Miss Xiu'er, with its strength, I'm afraid if it continues to attack like this for a few more times, even if the breastplate refined by the boss is so powerful and can withstand so much damage, Miss Xiu'er may not be able to hold on to the breastplate. The final situation is still very dangerous." Zheng Qian said in surprise as he ran.
"Bah, bah, bah, why are you analyzing it? It won't run away. Master, don't cut it into pieces. It will never hurt Sister Xiu'er, right, Master..." Tang Xiaotang gave Zheng Qian a slap in the face, obviously very unhappy with the result of his analysis, and then threw the question to Tang Zheng.
This time, Tang Zheng did not nod in agreement with Tang Xiaotang's statement. Instead, he pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid there is something fishy about this. The defensive effect of the breastplate is beyond my expectation. It allowed Xiu'er to remain unscathed by the Northern Demon Butterfly, which is one level lower in strength."
"However, the most frightening thing in life is a but. I feel that the final choice of this Northern Demon Butterfly is indeed not very rational. With its strength, if it continues to adopt the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao , it can definitely delay us for a long time, and the possibility of us being trapped in the demon tide in the end is still not small. But it did not choose to do so, which is obviously not in line with the demon clan's vengeful character." Tang Zheng analyzed.
"I feel that when the Far North Demon Butterfly saw the breastplate in Miss Xiu'er's hand, it seemed to have some disgust and even some panic expression." Jiang Wuyan suddenly said.
"Well, the face of that demon butterfly is covered with patterns, and you, Jiang Wuyan, can even see its expression... I really admire it." Tang Xiaotang complained after hearing Jiang Wuyan's words.
When Tang Zheng heard this, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "It's over. If it's really like what Lao Jiang said, I'm afraid there will be more troubles."
