Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 53: Sword and Flying Step

 “Brother Qi, we meet again.”

Ji Xinghuo walked into the living room step by step. A smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, but his eyes were cold.

 The astral realm is a lawless place.

Even though Olympia is under the jurisdiction of various countries, there is a lack of scientific and technological supervision, and aliens have supernatural powers, so all kinds of illegal things are endless.

 When venturing into the star realm, the same kind has always been the biggest source of danger, perhaps without exception.

 What is more terrifying than attacks from monsters are attacks from the same kind.

 Because people’s hearts are unpredictable.

Before Ji Xinghuo entered the Star Realm, he had seen many such cases on the Internet, including gangsters, backstabbing teammates, old Liu Yin people, enemy countries and strangers ambushing, etc. He was mentally prepared for this and had been taking precautions. , I didn’t expect to meet him after all.

 He is not angry, he just wants to get rid of the people who caused the problem.

 After the magnetic field induction confirmed that no one was approaching and the courtyard was safe, Ji Xinghuo showed up decisively.

The reason why there was no surprise attack was that I wanted to observe the other two people in the room with my own eyes. Their magnetic field strength and ether reaction were both within the normal range.

  The man is a high-level alien, with ferocious beast-like eyes and a very strong body. He only wears a vest and has no weapons in his hands.

 The woman is leaning next to him, it should be a couple.

Her strength is the weakest among the three. She is only an intermediate alien. Her long hair is slightly shiny, and her eyes have a light that dances like flames. She exudes a sense of warmth, but there is no threat.

Ji Xinghuo made an instant judgment.

 The professions of this man and woman are Orcs and Star-Torchbearers.

 The former relies on transforming into a beast to fight, while the latter is a auxiliary profession and lacks attack methods.

 Flying step, half-orc, star torch bearer!

The biggest threat is still Qi Zhaofeng. Not only does he have a complete professional template, but he is also a very rare ninth-level martial artist. He has rich combat experience and has the best weapons and equipment.

 “Are you following me?”

Qi Zhaofeng held Ji Xinghuo firmly and winked at the two of them, telling them to disperse.

Ji Xinghuo seemed to be unable to see the two men surrounding him and said, "I don't understand, Brother Qi. Do I look weak? Why did you choose me to attack?"

"You're not weak, but I'm stronger. It's just bad luck that happened to me." Qi Zhaofeng stopped pretending. He had already confirmed that Ji Xinghuo came alone and there was no helper outside. He felt relieved and sneered. : "And you are stupid, a fat sheep actually arrived at your door."

As he spoke, Qi Zhaofeng drew the alloy sword from his back.

His eyes fell on Ji Xinghuo's Lei Chi. He did not hide his greed and nodded: "It's a good knife, but you don't deserve it."

Super two-star weapons are much better than my own one-star super long sword.

 After selling it, it can be worth the income of five or six hunts.

"No one is more suitable for this knife than me." Ji Xinghuo smiled, "There is a saying that Brother Qi should have heard: The best hunters often appear as prey."

 “Just you?”

Qi Zhaofeng sneered, "You don't think that you are qualified to be my opponent just because you have defeated me several times in the martial arts gym, do you? My ninth level of martial arts is obtained from blood, and I have never used my full strength in the martial arts gym."

 His face is full of confidence.

 “What a coincidence, so am I.” Ji Xinghuo said lightly.

Qi Zhaofeng didn’t respond to this sentence because he took action. In an instant, Qi Zhaofeng suddenly appeared in front of Ji Xinghuo, as fast as lightning.

 Flash step!

 Flying is the fastest profession. Not only is it good at running long distances, it is also the fastest at short distances and has the fastest attack frequency.

  Sometimes, flying step can resolve a battle in just the blink of an eye, and the enemy doesn’t even have time to react.

UI!

Qi Zhaofeng only used one sword, and the coffee table and chairs between the two were cut in half by the sword's blade. The light of the sword pierced Ji Xinghuo's face, and the tip of the sword was only a palm away from his nose.

His sword is a super one-star weapon that has an acceleration effect when swung.

Ji Xinghuo also moved when Qi Zhaofeng drew his sword.

His speed was not as fast as Qi Zhaofeng's. The pupil of his right eye flashed with a slightly invisible aperture. He seemed to have anticipated the enemy's surprise attack. He moved his feet and turned his body to the left in advance, dodging the sword just in time. The long sword missed him. And passed.

Ji Xinghuo's skin was covered with electric current, and his speed increased dramatically. He dodged the sword and approached the female alien on the left.

 One step, two steps…

On the third step, he suddenly raised Lei Chi and blocked it behind his back.

Hang!

This knife was like an eye on the back of his head, accurately blocking Qi Zhaofeng's pursuing sword. The electric current on the knife was instantly transmitted to the sword, making Qi Zhaofeng feel numb all over. He subconsciously activated his "Mistake Step" to distance himself and avoid Ji Zhaofeng. Starfire's counterattack.

However, Ji Xinghuo ignored Qi Zhaofeng at all.

He was only two steps away from the female stranger. He took a big step forward and the sword flashed.

 The female alien is the star torch bearer.

The biggest role of this profession is to assist. "Light of Star Flame" infuses teammates with star power to speed up their recovery. It also supports "Frenzy" and "Repulsion Field", which can exempt some psychic attacks and increase power speed. "Purifying Torch" dispels negative states. .

 The only means of attack is "little meteor".

When Qi Zhaofeng drew his sword, a string of high-temperature fire beads had already condensed in her hand, ready to be thrown at the enemy.

 But Ji Xinghuo has already rushed over.

Lei Chi slashed down, cutting off her right hand like a knife cutting tofu. The small meteor that had not been thrown was immediately extinguished, and she let out a cry of pain.

"ah!"

Ji Xinghuo's sword did not change, and when it sank further, it cut off her thigh, passed by her body, and pushed with her free left hand.

 The Star Torch Bearer was seriously injured and was unable to resist at all, and his body flew forward.

Her head hit a huge bear's mouth, with a click, the whole head was bitten to pieces, and the screams stopped abruptly.

The one who bit her to death was a giant bear standing upright, two and a half meters tall. Its hill-like body was covered with black hair, its claws were as sharp as knives, and the outline of a human figure could be vaguely seen, like a combination of a human and a bear. , there is both the ferocity of beasts and the spirituality of humans in his eyes.

　　It is the "Starry Night Giant Bear" transformed from a half-orc.

This bear-like monster has a keen sense of hearing and smell, strong strength, and tough skin defense. When it enters a violent state, its lethality increases sharply. It can see in dim environments. It has very comprehensive abilities and can play multiple roles in the team. .

"No…"

The giant bear quickly spat out the woman and shouted vague words.

His original target of biting was Ji Xinghuo, but he didn't expect that his woman would be stuffed into his mouth and bitten to death.

Accidentally killed his teammates by mistake, but it was also his beloved woman, which shocked the orcs.

 His mind went blank and he was stunned.

 “Get out of the way!”

Qi Zhaofeng shouted, but it was already too late.

When the half-orc reacted, he saw a bolt of lightning coming from the side. The world in his eyes was spinning, and the world in his eyes fell to the ground. The last thing he saw before his consciousness disappeared was a headless giant that was spitting blood. The bear, and the woman next to her whose head exploded.

 “Her face looks so familiar…”

boom!

 The headless giant bear returned to its human body and slowly fell down, revealing Ji Xinghuo behind it. Qi Zhaofeng's eyes were splitting. He lost two teammates with a small mistake, which made him feel scared. Ji Xinghuo's strength was far beyond expectation.

 “It’s really a good knife!”

He took a deep breath and was extremely wary of the Lei Chi in Ji Xinghuo's hand, "The defense of the Starry Night Bear can't even catch your sword."

　　With weapons that are not sharp enough, the Orc teammates will never be beheaded so easily.

 Ji Xinghuo did not respond.

 He stepped over the orc's body and raised his knife to kill him.

Lei Chi's blade sparkled with lightning, and there was the burnt smell of lightning in the air. With one breath, Ji Xinghuo closed the distance between the two.

Qi Zhaofeng retreated several meters, turned around and ran out of the living room into the yard.

 He wants to escape!

Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field rotated and exploded, and the Gale Boots had already been activated. He immediately chased after him. Qi Zhaofeng's figure suddenly blurred and moved back and forth in the courtyard at high speed. Every moment seemed to appear in multiple places at the same time, creating a confusing effect that made people unable to locking.

 This is the lost track.

 It allows the alien to move at high speed in a small area, and can dodge attacks and surprise enemies.

As soon as Ji Xinghuo stepped into the courtyard, a sword light pierced his vest.

He had already expected that Qi Zhaofeng was just pretending to run away, so he calmly turned around, Lei Chi lifted up, and the swords clashed together solidly.

 A banging sound.

Qi Zhaofeng took a few steps back and was forced back into the living room.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't understand at all. Why couldn't his wandering steps confuse Ji Xinghuo, and why such a swift attack from behind could be blocked?

Ji Xinghuo took the opportunity to fight back and slashed three times in a row.

when! when! when!

Three consecutive slashes with all the strength, the rotating magnetic field amplified, the electric arc on the Lei Chi knife circled, and sparks and electric light flew out.

Each sword was powerful and heavy, hitting the same point of the long sword. The strong force forced Qi Zhaofeng to retreat. The electric current on the sword paralyzed his whole body, making him unable to resist. He couldn't even use the step to move. In the blink of an eye, he was killed. He was pushed back into the corner with nowhere to retreat.

Qi Zhaofeng's empty door was wide open and his long sword was broken into two pieces.

Ji Xinghuo rushed forward. Lei Chi turned his hand upside down and pressed the back of the knife with his arm. The blade was placed on Qi Zhaofeng's neck, pushing him against the wall.

This scene is exactly the same as the actual training in the martial arts gym.

 The difference is that this time it is a battle of life and death.

Qi Zhaofeng's eyes were horrified. He had no idea that he would die like this. He shouted in despair: "I..."

 “Don’t make any mistakes again in your next life.”

Ji Xinghuo used his arm strength to press the blade into his neck and wiped it smoothly.

 Poof.

A thin line of blood appeared on Qi Zhaofeng's neck. A few drops of blood oozed out at first, and then like an open faucet, blood spurted out crazily.

 He covered his neck hard in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but could not stop the flow of life.

"You...are not...eight-dan..." Qi Zhaofeng said intermittently, tilting his head and exhaling.

 The halo in Ji Xinghuo's eyes dissipated.

He looked at the corpses of Qi Zhaofeng and the other two people. He was an eighth-level martial artist, but when he turned on Wanxiang Senluo, he was comparable to a martial arts master.

Wanxiang Senluo consumes a lot of star power.

At first, it only took two or three seconds to drain all my mental, star power and physical energy. Now my star power has increased to 185 points, and I can already maintain the Vientiane Senluo for nearly six seconds.

 You can predict the future in six seconds, which is enough to kill three enemies.

 That’s why he dared to show up and take action.

Ji Xinghuo put Lei Chi on Qi Zhaofeng and wiped off the blood, put it back into the scabbard, and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly noticed a ring on Qi Zhaofeng's left hand. The ether energy was very dense and it was obviously not an ordinary jewelry. .

 He wrapped his hand in cloth and took off the ring, holding it in front of his eyes for inspection.

The surface of the silver-gray ring body is very ordinary, and the shape is also very simple, but the inner ring of the ring is engraved with fine lines, flowing with obscure ether energy, which is extremely restrained.

 “Stealth Ring!”

Ji Xinghuo’s eyes showed surprise.

 Super equipment such as swords and armors are the most common. This type of super equipment, which is small in size and made into jewelry, is rarer and is two to three times more expensive than equipment of the same level, or even more.

For example, Sister Ren’s thinking necklace and Jiangnan Caiyi’s phantom beads.

This stealth ring is a super star.

 Its manufacturing materials incorporate two abilities, namely "silence" and "refraction".

 When activated, the former can absorb the vibration sound waves generated by itself. As long as the volume does not exceed the upper limit of absorption, it can be silent.

  The latter is a kind of optical invisibility, but it is not completely transparent. The outline can still be seen if you look closely at it.

 Two abilities take effect together, allowing people to enter a stealth state!

Qi Zhaofeng relied on it to track himself. The moment he used the Lost Tracking Step, he also activated the Stealth Ring, but it had no effect in front of the All-Seeing Star Pupil.

"nice one!"

Ji Xinghuo put the ring directly on his left index finger.

 The stealth ring is the most valuable thing on Qi Zhaofeng's body, and his long sword has been broken. The other two people didn't use weapons, and their other equipment was of little value. Although they had some cash on them, Ji Xinghuo didn't like them and didn't waste time searching.

 He dragged the three bodies together and threw down a black flower.

 Before leaving, Ren Mian gave Ji Xinghuo some plant samples that could be used without witchcraft in a small bag, which he always carried with him.

Black Phage looks like a flower, but it is actually a type of fungus that can quickly swallow organic matter and turn it into black water. It is the most convenient way to destroy corpses and eliminate traces.

 After disposing of the body, Ji Xinghuo activated his stealth ring and rolled out of the yard.

Using the magnetic field induction to avoid the crowd, he quietly left the neighborhood, then continued walking for a few kilometers, took the last bus, and returned to Qinghao Street. However, he did not return to the villa, but actually lived in the previous one. I stayed in that hotel for one night.

 Have nothing to do all night.

Ji Xinghuo returned to the villa the next day. After finishing his training during the day, he went to the Ji Dao Martial Arts Hall to participate in actual combat training as usual.

Qi Zhaofeng naturally did not show up, but no one was surprised.

Members of martial arts schools come and go all the time. Some people go out often. It is impossible to come every day. Absence is very common.

 After training, Ji Xinghuo returned to the villa and opened the Vientiane Xingpu interface.

  Killing Qi Zhaofeng and three others, he gained 20 points of spiritual energy. In addition to the remaining 6 points, no matter which ability he upgraded, it was still far behind.

Thousand Dexterous Hands and Rotating Magnetic Field upgrades require more than 1,000 points of spiritual energy.

  To upgrade your etheric sensitivity to level four, you only need 433 points of spiritual energy.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the interface and his mind became active.

If you want to practice faster, the key is to be "ether sensitive". Every time you upgrade to another level, your star power will grow faster, and it will be permanently improved!

 He gently rubbed the stealth ring on his index finger.

 After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to go out hunting, and hunt alone. But before that, some preparations need to be made.
