Chapter 279: Past Events (War 2)
"Okay, as you say." Ying's voice was cold and firm. She swung the razor in her hand again. Amidst the flashes of lightning, she had already assumed a fighting stance.
Seeing this, Chen Yue also put away his cynical smile, and the short sword in his hand instantly turned into a silver light and attacked Ying. The figures of the two intertwined in the empty field, and the lightning and silver light complemented each other, forming a thrilling picture.
Both of them had extremely advanced fighting skills, and both their speed and strength had reached the peak. Every time they fought, it was like thunder exploding in one's ears, making one tremble with fear. However, Ying always remained calm, her eyes were firm and sharp, as if she could see through Chen Yue's every move.
As the battle progressed, Chen Yue felt more and more pressured. Ying's attack was as fierce as a storm, and her movements were smooth and coherent, as if there were no flaws. The razor in her hand was like the claws of Thor, and every swing brought destructive power.
Chen Yue couldn't help but be shocked: "She was holding back before she came." He realized that if he continued like this, he might really lose to Ying.
However, Chen Yue did not give up. He held the dagger tightly in his hand, staring at Ying's every move firmly. Suddenly, he found an opportunity - Ying showed a small flaw when resisting his attack!
"But I can use more than just a dagger." Chen Yue whispered. He quickly took out a few shurikens with silk threads from the scroll at his waist.
These shurikens are different from common hidden weapons. Each of them has been carefully polished, and the blade is as sharp as a mirror, flashing with cold light. What's more special is that the silk thread between them is not an ordinary rope, but is woven from elemental particles. It is not only extremely tough, but also has a subtle insulation property that can resist the erosion of elemental forces.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ying's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She moved, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air like a ghost, skillfully avoiding Chen Yue's attack.
However, Chen Yue did not give up. He tightened the silk thread in his hand, and the originally scattered shurikens were like summoned flying swallows, launching a more fierce attack towards Ying again.
Ying's heart also began to become solemn. Chen Yue's unexpected hidden weapon skills made her feel a little threatened. However, as a general, she must not reveal any flaws at any time.
So she took a deep breath and moved again, as if she had turned into a flash of lightning, weaving through Chen Yue's attacks.
Taking advantage of the gap when Ying was resisting, Chen Yue took out a bow and arrow from the scroll. He aimed at Ying's figure and held the bowstring taut, as if he wanted to concentrate all his strength on this arrow.
Ying sensed the dangerous aura and was secretly alert. At this moment, Chen Yue released the bowstring, and the arrow flew towards Ying like a stream of light.
"Swoosh—" the arrow flew through the air with a sharp whistling sound, shooting straight at Ying. Although Ying reacted quickly, the speed and power of the arrow were beyond her expectations. She had no choice but to dodge hastily, but the arrow still rubbed her shoulder and left a splash of blood.
"That was a close call!" Ying was shocked. She had heard that Chen Yue knew more than one weapon. Although she was prepared, she was still surprised.
Ying's eyes became sharper. She could no longer underestimate this opponent. She flashed and attacked Chen Yue again. This time, she was faster and more aggressive, as if she wanted to defeat Chen Yue in one fell swoop.
Chen Yue was not to be outdone. In the previous collision, he felt that the short sword was not very convenient to use. So at this moment, he had already changed to a long sword, the blade was shining with cold light, as if it could cut through the air.
With a turn of his wrist, the long sword drew sword shadows in the air like a dragon, interweaving with Shadow's attack.
On the battlefield, the two were fighting fiercely, with swords flashing and shadows, and every clash seemed to tear the void apart. Ying's figure was as erratic as a ghost, making it hard to figure out, while Chen Yue's swordsmanship was as fierce and sharp as a violent storm.
Their figures crossed each other on the battlefield, and every collision made a deafening noise, which was terrifying.
Although the long sword in Chen Yue's hand was extremely heavy, it was as light as a willow branch in his hand. He swung the long sword with great force, as if to cut off all obstacles in front of him, which made people marvel.
Ying, with his amazing speed and agility, kept dodging Chen Yue's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
However, as time went by, Ying gradually found that Chen Yue's swordsmanship was becoming more and more handy. Every attack was like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace, which made her feel more and more exhausted. And because of the long battle, her own physical strength began to decline gradually, and her movements became slow.
Ying knew that it was not good for her to fight a protracted war with Chen Yue. The longer the time dragged on, the more passive she would become. Therefore, she decided to change her strategy and could no longer avoid Chen Yue's attacks. She had to take the initiative. She flashed and appeared in front of Chen Yue in the blink of an eye. The dagger in her hand stabbed at his throat like lightning.
Chen Yue saw this scene, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his movements were not slow at all. He flicked his wrist, and the long sword in his hand quickly wrapped around Ying's short sword like a flexible poisonous snake. The two sides fell into a stalemate again, and neither could escape easily.
However, at this moment, Ying suddenly made an unexpected move. She suddenly lowered her body, passed under Chen Yue's sword at an extremely fast speed, and instantly went behind him. Chen Yue obviously did not expect Ying to be so agile, and he was unable to react for a while. When he came to his senses, he could only hastily cross his sword behind his back to try to block Ying's attack.
However, the speed of the razor in Ying's hand was too fast, and Chen Yue had no time to defend himself. He only heard a dull sound, and Chen Yue felt a sharp pain from his back, and his body trembled involuntarily. His reaction was also slowed down by half a beat because of the pain.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ying quickly raised his fist and hit Chen Yue's abdomen fiercely. This blow was so powerful that it directly knocked Chen Yue several meters away.
"Are you okay?" As if realizing that he had hit Chen Yue too hard, Ying rushed forward and tried to support the fallen Chen Yue.
"It's okay." Reaching out to stop the rushing shadow, Chen Yue slowly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Although I didn't use my full strength, it was because of my carelessness."
"Then, let's use all our strength to capture Shadow!"
