Chapter 12-Illusions
"When…when…"
"Tong Renjun!" Tian Tian also opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
The person who had stabbed the enemy's body from behind was Kirito.
"Shadow clone, huh…No!" From the corner of his eye, he looked at the flesh and blood that had been riddled with concentrated Kunai at the beginning. He saw that the figure that had originally fallen in the pool of blood had disappeared without a trace. At first, he subconsciously thought that it was a shadow clone, but when he saw the disappearing figure, there was still a large amount of blood left on the ground.
" Hmph…" The pain pierced through his chest, but the enemy persevered with his tenacious will. He grabbed the sharp blade that had pierced into his body with one hand, and then a powerful tearful look burst out from his eyes. He forcefully turned around and grabbed at the Kirito behind him.
"..." Kirito was unable to pull out the sword from the enemy's body. He immediately let go and quickly retreated a few steps, avoiding the counterattack. Then, with a shake of his feet, he bypassed the enemy and ran towards Tian Tian. He pulled Tian Tian with one hand and maintained a good distance from the enemy.
"Step back a little, Tian Tian." Kirito said in a deep voice," This sword of mine has accurately pierced through the enemy's heart. It's enough here. Pay attention to the enemy's counterattack on the verge of death.”
"Hmm…I understand." Tian Tian nodded her head heavily. She understood that Kirito was right. Facing an injured wild beast, the other party would definitely retaliate in a desperate situation. Although he was puzzled as to how Kirito managed to approach the enemy silently and stab the enemy's heart without the enemy noticing, he was still able to sense the enemy's presence. However, now was not the time to discuss such matters.
"Cough cough ~" He coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. The enemy's face was getting paler and paler. The huge wound on his left chest kept spewing out blood. The large amount of blood loss kept weakening him.
Suddenly, the other party slapped the sword hilt on his back. The sword entered his body. However, because of this slap, the bleeding on the wound stopped.
Tian Tian was shocked," It can indeed stop the bleeding by piercing through the body and reducing the pressure in the body. However, this is the heart! How is that possible?!"”
Kirito's gaze locked onto the vein tentacles that were wrapped around the wound on the ground." It seems that those strange threads were used to forcefully block the fatal wound in the heart," he said calmly. In this way, the other party could retain a certain degree of combat ability for a short period of time.”Kirito frowned and immediately shouted to Tian Tian," Tian Tian, take your companions and the convoy and leave first. I'll stay here and block him."
"No!" Tian Tian shook her head," The enemy is Jounin! Even if the sneak attack succeeds, it will still…"
"Don't worry. The other party's method barely managed to control his injuries, but it's impossible for him to fully unleash the strength of a Jounin. I can still deal with an extremely weak Jounin. Trust me, Tian Tian."
"…" Tian Tian gritted her teeth and nodded," Alright, I'll send them to a safe place and come back to support you!”After saying that, Tian Tian didn't waste any more time and immediately started moving.
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!”Seeing that he had suffered such heavy injuries from a sneak attack, the enemy was also furious. He launched a strong attack on Kirito with a murderous aura.
Just as Tian Tian was listening to Kirito's actions, the enemy launched a frenzied attack at an astonishing speed. They moved in an S-shaped trajectory, and their final target was still Kirito.
Kirito stood on the spot and did not react to the enemy's surging aura. His gaze did not waver at all.
" Huh?!" The enemy that was charging straight at Kirito suddenly heard the sound of wind breaking, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
" Ding, ding, ding, ding." Daggers and flying daggers came from the shadows and pierced the ground along his path.
"Humph!" With a stomp of his foot, his figure immediately turned sideways and pounced towards Kirito once again.
"Whoosh whoosh ~" His path forward was once again blocked by a hidden weapon attack from the dark. However, his opponent still possessed the strength of a genuine Jounin. Even though he had been seriously injured by the Kirito's sneak attack, his remaining strength and combat power were still far greater than that of a Chuunin. His figure flashed in all directions, very nimbly dodging the sneak attacks of hidden weapons again and again. While dodging, he grabbed one of the flying knives that came at him and slashed the hidden weapons that came flying from the other side with his backhand.
"Ding ding ~" Wielding the weapons he had seized, he charged forward in a roundabout manner, chopping down the concealed weapons that were coming his way. Just like that, the enemy was slowly approaching Kirito's position.
His pupils shrank. The enemy had seen a very precise opportunity. He waved his arm to cut off the hidden weapon coming from the left, and then threw the flying knife in his hand above his head to knock down the attack coming from above. His eagle-like sharp eyes locked onto Kirito's position as he muttered in his heart," This was the place. For now, only the hidden weapons from behind and from the right were left. With his right arm blocking, he could forcefully break through to the front of this kid. He had to get rid of them first!
With the awareness of killing a thousand enemies and harming eight hundred of himself, the enemy raised his right arm and used his thick arm to forcefully take the piercing of two flying knives. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his figure accelerated at this moment. He rushed forward without caring about anything and forcefully endured the injuries. Finally, he arrived in front of Kirito.
Then, the enemy fell to the ground.
"Thump ~" The reckless charge came to an abrupt end. The enemy fell at Kirito's feet.
" My body... I can't move..." He still had some strength left, but for some reason, he couldn't stand up. Soon after, he noticed that the dagger stabbed into his shoulder. Although the wound wasn't deep, the blood that flowed out was a strange purple-red color. " Poison?" He immediately reacted." Poison that numbs the nerves?”
"Xiu ~" A sharp sword appeared in Kirito's hand as he said calmly,"For assassins, using poison is also very normal, right?”
"It ends here." He held the hilt of the sword with his back hand and stabbed the sharp blade straight at the enemy's neck.
"Pa ~" The enemy who had fallen to the ground stubbornly raised his left hand and gripped the Kirito's sword tightly. The blade cut open his palm. However, in a life-threatening crisis, the enemy burst out with unprecedented vitality and forcefully grabbed the blade of the sword. The strength was so great that the Kirito could not stab down.
"Is that so? Even in a paralyzed state, you still have such strength left.”Kirito's eyes narrowed as he muttered," In that case, I can't hold back either.”
" Wha…" The pupils that were looking up at the sky suddenly revealed a series of pitch-black figures. These figures suddenly enlarged in the pupils!
"Pu pu ~" After being pierced by dozens of sharp blades, no matter how tenacious one's will was, under the situation where all of their bodily functions were destroyed, their final struggle could only come to a sad end.
