As Lorraine and William ventured deeper into the tunnel, the dangerous area formed by multiple caves began to extend its claws from the darkness towards them.
The bandits who had been here for many years knew very well how terrifying the darkness and fear were hidden in this strange stone forest made of limestone. Therefore, they would never step into the depths of the tunnel for no reason. After all, no one would treat their lives as a joke.
After a period of silence that made one's hair stand on end, they walked through an empty black road. The boundary between humans and demons began to break. Some things that did not belong to this world began to come alive. A strange aura began to fill the air. Although it was very thin, as long as one smelled it once, they would never forget it. It was the aura of the eternal world, the domain where demons lived.
Just as they were about to turn a corner, Loraine suddenly sensed something exuding intense malice coming uninvited. The perception of a wood spirit would not lie!
"Be quiet and get ready! Something dirty is coming!"
William immediately stopped moving. He reached behind him and took down the cross gun that was hanging on his arm. His originally dull expression became even more stiff when he heard that trouble was coming.
Then, a deathly silence filled the air around the two of them.
Suddenly, a creepy creaking sound came from the other side of the corner. It sounded like a bug was chirping.
The voice gradually grew louder and louder, and two monsters that looked like walking corpses appeared before Luo Lian's eyes.
Of the two Shikijiro, one of them was a normal species, walking shakily in front of them, while the other was a mutated species, lying on the ground. The mining manuscript on his back was probably snatched from the miners who had attacked him before.
There were two of them, so they naturally went their separate ways. Just as she was thinking of pulling away so that it would be easier for her to attack, she did not expect that the mutated Zerg would bend its body and suddenly leap over the Fukijiro in front of her and pounce towards Luo Lian.
Ro Lian was shocked and reflexively took a step back. She held the scabbard in her left hand and was about to block in front of her, but before she could defend herself, she was hit hard. She felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her entire body fell into a state of loss of center. She began to fall back. The other Shikijiro did not care about the morals of the martial world. His twisted and festering right hand grabbed the pickaxe and swept towards Ro Lian from the left.
Of course, William would not sit idly by. He raised his gun and stabbed it straight at Shikijiro's chest. He blocked the pickaxe in mid-air before it could pierce through Loraine. Then, it was followed by a series of three moves. One sweep, one pick, and one smash. It pulled away the usual hatred.
Luo Lian fell onto the stone floor. Her entire body was in bad shape, but there was still a troublesome fellow in front of her that she had yet to deal with! It did not succeed the first time. After landing, it regrouped, gathered its strength, and pounced again. In an instant, Luo Lian's eyes met his. Her two pupils were empty and lifeless, and her twisted and rotten face was pressed against his nose. The rotten smell of last night's meal assaulted his nose.
Moreover, this was not the end. Shikijiro clearly wanted to give something as a gift. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, wanting to spit out something to wash Ro Lian's face.
F * ck, how could he tolerate this? Lorraine used all her strength to kick the monster that was channeling its skill to the side. Then, she did a lazy roll and rolled a certain distance away. She supported herself against the wall and stood up again.
Lorraine once again experienced how painful it was to not have the ability to dodge like William. Even if she knew that she would be attacked and wanted to dodge, she just could not dodge!
Luo Lian placed her right hand on the hilt of her saber and let go of the distracting thoughts in her mind. She then blocked the evil energy in her stomach at her esophagus. He had entered the charging stage of Iai.
Iai was to use the amazing speed of the blade in the circular motion to make a fatal attack on the opponent while drawing the sword, and to kill the opponent in one blow. Therefore, all the cultivation of the Sword Drawing Skill was fully reflected in this attack. If the first attack missed, it would be difficult to block or avoid the opponent's counterattack. Even if it could block or avoid the opponent's counterattack, it would be difficult to make a second attack. This was also the reason why Ro Lian chose Iai. With Ro Lian's lack of reaction speed, she could only consider escaping with a single strike when dealing with the enemy in front of her. If she missed, she would be thrown down again.
Shikijiro didn't have the high IQ of a bandit and knew how to change his attack style. After being kicked to the side by Ro Lian, he flipped over and lay on the ground again. He turned his spearhead to Ro Lian and lunged at her again without thinking.
This time, Loraine finally had the chance to turn the tables. A bright light flashed through the dark tunnel, and the remaining sparks were reflected by the fast-moving blade onto Shikijiro's strange face and the gray-green liquid that splashed out from his wound. Ro Lian took advantage of the situation to dodge Shikijiro's attack, and the attack from the tachi also gave it a hard hit for a while. Although it wasn't long, it was enough.
The following battle was without suspense. Ro Lian, who had been disgusted, vented all her anger. The vicious attack of the upper section tore apart most of the body parts of Shikijiro. The grayish-green liquid that came out of the wound adhered to the tachi.
Watching as Shikijiro gradually turned into black smoke and dissipated into the air, Luo Lian finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She emptied everything that could be vomited out of her stomach, and in the end, she even retched a few times before she could catch her breath.
On the other side, since Shikijiro wanted to compete with William with a broken pickaxe, his fate had already been decided. After being sent flying by William's skillful Upward Slash, he received a series of May Rain's Stabbing. The holes on his body began to turn into black smoke.
"Are you alright?"
William placed his gun on the ground and looked at Loraine, who was holding a katana. He had a faint smile on his face. He sympathized with Loraine's plight, but he was not moved. He even wanted to laugh out loud.
Luo Lian couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this fellow who was gloating over his misfortune. She raised her head and replied in a bad mood,"He's still alive. Let's go! Let's continue forward."
Then, he swung his katana and threw the disgusting liquid on the ground. He put his katana back into its sheath and moved his still weak legs slowly forward.
This time, neither of them chose to let go of their weapons. One of them held a knife to the side, while the other held a gun in front of him. They were tense, step by step, carefully exploring the unknown depths of the darkness, constantly on guard against anything that might suddenly jump out and attack them.
