Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 383 Jade Slash

Facing the glare of the sun, Thorne, who fell from the tower, walked silently on the land of Twilight Town alone.

The blood-soaked soil after the scuffle was very loose. Every step he took, he would leave a shallow footprint. The depth of each footprint was exactly the same, and the distance between each step was exactly the same.

Thorn stepped over a boulder that had crushed a hobgoblin's head, stepped on a pile of acid-corroded ashes, and walked past the bone-strewn corpse of an ogre ravaged by vicious vultures .

Smelling the smell of corpses that seemed to never dissipate in the air, he lowered his head slightly, lowered his hood as much as possible without affecting his vision ahead, and then walked forward slowly and carelessly.

He seemed to be walking casually, but in fact he was secretly mobilizing the energy of Qi in his body.

At this moment, under the blessing of the Desert Wind Sect's enhancement technique "Feng Xing", his limbs are surrounded by soft, warm and almost invisible fire elements.

This is a move that uses the power of the fire element to reduce air resistance and increase his own movement speed, making his attacks faster and deadlier.

The goblin wizard Malvisa once gave him a book about how to use the energy of Qi.

In fact, the real function of this book is to allow him to flexibly control the power of the moves when launching various moves.

Just like the fire moves of the Desert Wind School, he can reduce the power of the skills in order to increase the speed of casting them, and he can also slow down the speed of casting them in order to increase the power of the moves.

Therefore, at this moment, when he pushes the strengthening technique "Feng Xing" to the extreme, it is the time when the coordination of his body and limbs is adjusted to the peak.

Then he would stop immediately, because that's where a hobgoblin warrior would die.

As Thorn walked forward slowly, the distance between him and the hobgoblin warriors became closer and closer.

As he was walking, Thorn suddenly stopped in his tracks. His legs were shoulder-width apart, his left foot took a casual step forward, and his toes pointed at the hobgoblin warrior approaching not far away. Gently rotate 45 degrees outward.

When Thorn's knees were slightly bent, his right hand couldn't help touching the hilt of the sword.

Step, reach, rotate, bow slightly.

This is the starting position of the strike technique "Shooting Slash" in the steel soul school swordsmanship.

The reason why he did this was not because he wanted to launch this move, but because the initial posture of "catapult slash" made his speed very easy and smooth, which was more conducive to his next attack.

Thorn concentrated on the hobgoblin warriors approaching him, the hobgoblin's eye-catching red nose, bright red armor with black stripes, and bright and sharp weapons in his hands.

Gradually, as the small muscles all over his body swelled up like hills, Thorn's body also tensed up suddenly.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that every muscle tightly attached to his skeleton had been adjusted to the most suitable fighting state.

The hobgoblin warrior walking forward seemed to have noticed something, and his footsteps paused so suddenly that his heavy steel boots left a deep footprint on the soft soil.

As a burly and strong hobgoblin warrior, the black figure not far away is undoubtedly very short in his eyes. His thin body wrapped in a black cloak seems to be only slightly stronger than the elves.

But the hobgoblin warrior with keen intuition saw an atmosphere full of power from this black shadow.

He also saw an unshakable confidence in the piercing eyes that were barely visible on his face.

This kind of self-confidence is not the overly overflowing and fragile conceit of the proud elves he has slaughtered, but the cold breath produced by the sense of superiority that seems to have experienced countless battles but has rarely been defeated.

Therefore, he began to hesitate a little, so that his pace also slowed down involuntarily.

Although the figure not far away made him feel deeply afraid, but as a citizen of the mighty, he is not afraid of death, and the honor and military rank brought in the war are his pursuit.

Thorn looked at the hobgoblin warrior who was holding a shield and holding a sword, and his expression did not fluctuate. He just held his hand on the hilt of the sword, feeling the breath of flames surrounding the desert wind sword, and waited quietly. The hobgoblin came within striking distance of him, and honored him with the Mighty One's army on the Shura plane.

The heavy boots of the hobgoblin warriors left deep tracks in the blood-soaked ground.

Just when he was close to the ranger's attack range, Thorn's already tense body flashed past the ground like a shadow of death.

——"Steel Soul School (strike skill): Jade Slash!"

With the sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh and blood, bright blood lines appeared on the hobgoblin warrior's neck.

Feeling the sharp pain and scorching pain in his neck, the hobgoblin warrior turned around and looked at the black figure who had just sheathed his sword, his pale yellow eyes were full of disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, he subconsciously dropped the weapon in his hand, and covered the bleeding wound on his neck with both hands, trying in vain to stop the bleeding.

It's a pity that the scarlet blood rolled out mercilessly along his fingers, enthusiastically infecting his dark red striped armor more and more monstrously, and his heavy body gradually walked away with a soft 'plop' sound. into the darkness of death.

On the deathly silent tower of Twilight Town, Sarayan looked away and looked at the half-drow assassin standing beside him watching the battle together: "Horat, did you see Thorne's movements clearly just now?"

A Tier [-] hobgoblin warrior was instantly killed with one blow, and it was so clean that he didn't even have time to see the whole battle process clearly.

"The moment he flashed in front of the hobgoblin warrior, I saw a nearly invisible orange flame appear on him, and he seemed to feel the breath of the fire element." Horat pondered for a moment, looking at Thorne The figure smacked his tongue.

Looking at the dead hobgoblin warrior, Thorne took a deep breath, calming down the violent heartbeat caused by the momentary movement.

Obviously, this instant-killing move not only requires great speed, but also a strong physique.

And the reason why he was able to create a clean and neat effect was not only that "Feng Xing" was suddenly amplified to the extreme by using the energy of Qi, but also relying on the seven-ring magic "Unicorn" blessed by the Druid Silver Raven Envoy. heart of".

Without this magical technique that increases his agility, strength and physique by 4 points, his body is likely to collapse the moment it is activated.

Of course, there is one of the most critical factors, which is the strike technique "Jade Slash" of the Steel Soul School.

[Jade Slash (Strike): Your understanding of combat and the spirit of fine honing, as well as the ability to carefully observe your opponent's movements make you a deadly combat force.When you concentrate, you can instantly find the weak point in the target's defense and deliver the most powerful blow. 】

"Emerald Jade Slash" is the second-level move of the Steel Soul School, and it is a relatively good sword move in one-on-one duels.

However, the power of this move completely requires the support of high-level "focus" skills.

Without the concentration to see everything, it will take a long time to find the target's weakness, and it will appear pale and powerless in the fleeting battle.

This is also the main reason why he chooses to allocate all skill points to the "Focus" skill every time he upgrades his level.
