Chapter 194 ·Unreasonable
The Scorpion King on the second day was only slightly less powerful than the one on the first day. He still maintained his human form, showed no signs of alienation from the Death Legion, and did not appear to have transformed into a scorpion on his lower body.
His left hand is equipped with a barbed scorpion shield, and his right hand is equipped with a recurve scimitar. Except that he is not equipped with any strong armor, his tactical configuration is roughly the same as Jiang Yu's.
And he didn't seem to have much emotional change.
"Come and fight, warrior." He just growled, roaring with fighting spirit. Then he waved his shield and scimitar and faced Jiang Yu head-on.
fighting.
The Scorpion King is indeed an experienced warrior. No matter whether he is strong or weak, he is able to exert the strength that his body should have. And when he waved the kukri in his hand, what caught Jiang Yu's eyes was an oncoming sandstorm.
He doesn't talk to Jiang Yu.
He also doesn't do anything other than fight.
There is no point in irritating him with words and actions, even if the plot of the Scorpion King movie is mentioned in front of him. When it comes to his original prophet lover, Cassandra, his figure does not move at all, and his movements do not change in the slightest. The third-level gene lock can predict his next move, but it is completely unable to analyze his thinking. Other than fighting, any interaction with him is unnecessary.
You can only fight him, and you can only defeat him.
Once he is defeated, even if he still has strength, he will turn into disintegrated ashes on the spot. It is completely impossible to seal or capture it here. Unless you deliberately maintain a deadlock and maintain an unwinnable and undefeated situation. In this way, it may be possible to delay the operation time of this battle until the end of this day.
Jiang Yu can do this.
But Jiang Yu didn't and wouldn't do that.
——The gods favor the brave.
——I myself... don’t think it’s necessary to delay.
The storm breaks up.
The Scorpion King died at the hands of Jiang Yu again on the second day. His kukri crossed the shield and touched Jiang Yu's shoulder armor. And the spear of judgment in Jiang Yu's hand, which was supposed to kill him with one strike, also penetrated his heart.
The trial is not over yet - the battle is still going on, and the Scorpion King's army is still fighting bravely.
When Jiang Yu pulled out the Spear of Judgment, he clearly felt a faint sting coming from inside his shoulder armor.
It's not a muscle injury, nor is the skin broken. This kukri is not powerful enough to penetrate the tough Terminator armor. The wounds on Jiang Yu's body were more like the effects of some kind of phantom pain.
——Soul blow.
Jiang Yu quickly came to a conclusion. Defense on the physical level will be difficult to be effective in the next battle. Even if he has gradually adapted to this strong armor with his weakened body, it can no longer create injury-free situations for him like in the past.
——Should I consider upgrading my armor?
--Or……
He moved away while thinking. Wherever you come from, you return to that place. And all the soldiers standing in front of him, whose parameters were doubled compared to yesterday, fell quickly and silently.
Soul-level pain is not a purely bad thing. Just like when he was injured before, he could perceive his soul more clearly because of the existence of this trauma. Feel the vibration of your own thoughts, consciousness, spirit...and even the spirit itself. The pure adamantine material of the Terminator armor no longer seemed as undetectable to him as before.
He returned to the high walls of Thebes.
……………………
——There is a strange feeling.
When the Scorpion King died, Zhao Yingkong was walking freely among the crowd. She is an assassin, and the origin of the Eastern Assassins can be traced back to Gai Nie in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. She wanted to get rid of Jing Ke, which was so loud that it was unsuccessful. The Eastern Assassins were accustomed to being active in battlefield.
She waved Arondette in her hand, quickly and rhythmically killing the Scorpion King soldiers in front of her. Although these brave warriors are ferocious and fearless, their parameter configuration, which is twice that of the super special forces, is only the level that Zhao Yingkong was when he first entered the world of reincarnation.
They tried very hard to encircle and ambush, but in the end all their efforts failed to achieve the desired effect. And when each of the heads fell into the dust after being slashed by Arondette. The bone harp armor worn by the assassin girl also seemed to be intoxicated by the tide of life that had been wantonly deprived of it, and it trembled slightly.
The bone harp is a musical instrument, and playing it may not only rely on fingers and rhythm - the more you kill, the more active it becomes. Its appearance becomes deeper and darker, its material becomes lighter, and it has higher strength and toughness.
The space is unstable due to its trembling. After all, it is the ability of this bone harp to move the space. And if Zhao Yingkong can develop this ability well enough, deeply enough, and exquisitely. Then, it should be particularly effective for assassins who like to teleport and jump.
No, exactly. It is a melee assassin who is vulnerable to its own defense and always relies on space jumps to maneuver, move, and even launch attacks. It is particularly effective.
Zhao Yingkong realized this - she herself didn't think this ability had much employment potential. It's not unusual for assassins to like space jumping. But an assassin who specializes in space interference and ignores all other fields...isn't it too strange?
The assassin girl thought so.
However, when she thought like this, she strangely felt a certain excitement floating deep in her heart. It's as if there is another will deep in his soul, and this will is very much looking forward to a powerful enemy with such a configuration, and will beat him to the street.
Strange thought - if it is an enemy, wouldn't it be best to kill him directly?
And if he wasn't an enemy...why would he go there and beat him for no reason?
The assassin girl couldn't understand it, so she found it very strange. She didn't know why she had such thoughts, just like she didn't understand why Mr. Jiang Yu paid so much attention to her.
She thought about it, and found that she seemed to be paying attention to the other person - no, no, not herself. Rather, she seemed to be 'another self deep in her heart', and she seemed to be very interested in him - she even suspected that she was schizophrenic at first, but after a thorough enough mental recuperation from the Lord God, she concluded that It seems to have nothing to do with my own doubts.
- So I'm not schizophrenic.
——I didn’t develop another personality... None of the methods mentioned in the book seemed to be of any use. The academic explanation for my situation seems to be that I have an awkward personality.
Personality...a bit awkward?
Zhao Yingkong doesn't think he is that kind of person - he will say what he wants to say and do what he wants to do. If you make a mistake, you will admit it, and if you are praised, you will feel happy. The so-called awkwardness and duplicity seem to have nothing to do with me.
——So...why do I care so much...about Mr. Jiang Yu?
She is not very good at dealing with Zhan Lan, but Zhan Lan did give her a lot of guidance on how to behave. After discovering her strangeness, she used different methods to verify her inner feelings, but the final result was just like a personality test, only a mess.
It didn't seem to be an emotion of admiration - when I saw Jiang Yu and Xia Ni together, I didn't have any negative emotions in my heart. I didn't really want to be alone with that man, nor did I want to take the initiative to do anything for him. My own concern for him was rather like curiosity about encountering strange animals in legends and stories in the wild. As for why I have such emotions, I have no idea at all.
--what's wrong with me?
Assassin girl, confused.
The confusion in her heart at this time was as far back as yesterday when Chu Xuan was telling riddles in the temple - Chu Xuan finally asked everyone present not to reveal that conversation to others. She originally didn't plan to agree, but Zhan Lan thought it was necessary, so she finally decided to fulfill it.
——If you have time... it's better to ask Jiang Yu directly.
——Whether it's my matter...or...the riddles Chu Xuan said.
she thought.
Her mind suddenly flashed back to the scene when she used the spatial interference caused by the bone harp to beat a squishy assassin.
And at the moment when such thoughts passed by... the muscles on the girl's body seemed to be wriggling and deforming slightly.
She... seems to have unlocked the second level?
Just for this reason! ?
